WTF Blue Fox Part. II

 I'm going to go on a rant right now, you don't have to read it but... I just had to...

;skdjf;ksdjf;ldjklfweiruekljfsd...

Blue Fox: I just got your message just now.
Me: Oh? Now? What message?
Blue Fox: About what I did.
Me: Oh. Yeah. You didn't tell me what you did. Lol.
Blue Fox: I met up with old friends.
Me: Are they from high school?
Blue Fox: Yup
Me: Are they the ones you played poker with?
Blue Fox: Nope
Me: Still sounds like fun~
Blue Fox: How
Me: Just seeing friends you haven't seen in a long time is fun. Especially when you haven't seen them in years.
Blue Fox: It's only been two months.
Me: Still.

After he stopped talking to me, he called me on his work phone. And it was the phone number that wasn't registered on my phone but had the same area code as Blue Fox. And I called once, but it just rang. But he called me and spoke to me... He said that he has a "proposition" for me. He said that I have to at least check this out. He was like, "Just check it out, I think you'll like it. No. I know you'll love it." and then he told me about how he spoke to a girl who was going to join the Air Force and them ditched that to join this company he's with and went all out with it. And he told me that I need to get a ride and check it out.

What shocked me was when he said this: "I'm coming to Los Angeles in May. So I'll come out to see you."

I Ditched The Forklift.

Sigh. I feel bad for turning down a job but however, I think the guy didn't explain it well enough because the building that I went to only trains those who are going to be licensed and certified to drive a forklift and other machinery.

And even though it's $35 each machine and he was telling me to do two (Forklift and Stand-Up) that's about $70 but he's giving it to me for $65, it sounds good BUT, once I'm certified and licensed, he'll give me a list of places that are hiring for that kind of job. And then now, my problem is transportation. And I spent a whole night thinking about it and it didn't seem logical that I'd be sending basically all the money I have, to be licensed and then, not really know if I can get the job and plus, I leave in June. So... I just didn't see the logic in it. Because let's face it, when is the next time I'll EVER drive a forklift? Almost like... Never.

I'll probably go for it later in the future but right now, I just don't see how it's an investment. I mean, it'll be awesome to have it because then I can be like, "HELL YEAH! I CAN DRIVE A FORKLIFT!" but... Really. I can't own my own forklift and drive it going to work or something. I'm thinking of keeping it as an option in the future but not now.

Meh.

Forklift fail,
Otter

FHE-aftermath and A JOB?!

FHE (Family Home Evening): The best FHE I've ever been to so far! When I arrived at church, I saw the guys grilling the meat for our dinner that they will be serving us! So all the girls gathered together and we had a little lesson from Courtney about how we can do little things that will make us become more prophesied. And then after, we all went into our church's gymnasium and we had three tables set up for us, covered with paper and we all sat down as we waited. And I was standing awkwardly because I wasn't sure where I wanted to sit so I sat with all the "weird" people from our church (and they are my kind of 'weird', too) and we all realized we had pens and I had a marker! So we all ended up doodling on our table while we waited. When we were called first to get our food, we got all the good stuff and I guess the guys piled on the stuff for us because when we went back to the table to eat it, we all didn't know how to close the burrito! LOL. We we're all struggling to eat it but it was fun. And our table played a lot of games that we usually played in elementary school and we were the table that was laughing the most. A lot of people were jealous that they couldn't join but I thought it was funny how our side of the table was filled with doodles and the other half was plain white. LOL. After FHE, Derek was going to drive me home but we decided to hang out with the other churchmates at Dairy Queen. We saw Courtney, Sam, Sam's girlfriend (not sure what her name is), Immanuel, Daniel and Christian. It was fun... A little boring but fun. Haha. Then I went home and crashed into my bed at 12am.

Today: So today, I wake up and do my usual routine and I spoke to my mom on the phone for a little bit and I texted my second father (Mr. Reed; my best friend/roommate's father) and told him that I was leaving for BMT on June 19th, and he texted me back saying that he was so happy, excited and proud of me and he gave me some advice as well. When I got off the phone with my mom, I realized I got a text from Blue Fox! He said, "What you doing?" and I texted an hour after because I didn't even know he texted me. And then my friend Tracface called me and told me that she saw on the Penny Saver (a booklet you receive in the mail for free about places you can save money and sometimes they have job offers) and I saw that there's a place hiring people who knows how to operate a forklift and it says that even if you don't know how, you can be trained and it is allowing everyone to go! SO, I went and I realized that there was a fee of $35. So for me to train for the forklift, I need $35 but the manager is suggesting that I should do two machines to insure that I get the job and that's $70 but he is giving it to me for $35. AND THEY PAY $10~$15 her hour! So I went to apply and he said that I can come tomorrow at 10am and pay the fee and start the training! So I'm excited. But as I was on my way to apply, I texted Blue Fox and told him that I was on my way to a job thingy and asked what he was doing but he didn't reply (yet). I texted him on Saturday, asking if he has any plans and it took him forever to reply, but when I went to a business meeting, he finally replied saying he was partying with his team (and I don't think it's the partying we all think it is because Blue Fox doesn't even drink)

Turtle, indeed my life is a little more cheerful and a lot of opportunities came up and things are going swell ever since I was baptized as a Mormon. A lot of people were telling me not to do it because Mormon's are "stupid", "dumb", "weird" and "creepy" and I do admit that some Mormon's are weird but there are some good ones out there and the ones that I spent most of my time with are great people and I've met and became friends with a bunch of Elders who I know are going to be my friends forever. Ever since I became a Mormon, my life became so much better and I enjoy what I do. And I'm praying more often and I believe that God is answering my sincere wishes in my heart and is blessing me as long as I keep myself honest and sincere. And I can say this as a testimony.

Cheery,
Otter

I Guess It's Time...

I just back from PT about two hours ago and I finally have time to go online.

Again, PT was good but I was the only girl. Sigh. But only three boys showed up so it wasn't as bad as the last time but it was good.

However, before we all had to start our PT, Ssgt. Fears would do announcements and give us updates about whatever she has in her head and today... She announced who got booked!

AND GUESS WHAT?! I BOOKED MY FIRST CHOICE! I BOOKED A DAMN JOB! HOORAH!

I am going to be the newest member of the United States Air Force aircraft armament systems specialist! HELL YEAH! I'LL BE WORKING ON THOSE PLANES, JETS AND WHATNOT!

And guess what else? I LEAVE ON JUNE 19TH!

AND, I have a possible home-base job!

Dude. Life's turning up...

I just wish I had the courage to pick up my phone, dial Blue Fox's number and tell him.

Feelin' good,

Otter

PS: Now I have to eat my egg salad sandwich and head to the post office!

Job, Where Art Thou?

I'm going to try and recap as fast as I can because I got a ton of poop to do.

Saturday (03/10/12): I finally met with my old friend, Trace-face, and we haven't seen each other for eight years! So finally, we decided to meet up and go to a leadership convention and since she loves her spot in the company, she gave a good word in for me to her higher boss and I even met her boss that came with us. And I loved the convention! So I'm thinking if I want to be apart of it... And they said that I can even work at home and since they know that I'm joining the Air Force, they said that I can still work with them even if I'm deployed and stuff. There's a lot of military people in their company too. I got to gather up some questions and ask. Now I know how Blue Fox feels. Sigh.

Sunday (03/11/12): Church is church and it's the same. Lol. Nothing much to it.

Today (03/12/12): I'm going to FHE (Family Home Evening) and hanging out with the churchmates. I'm kind of nervous because this is the first FHE I've ever been to (even though I tried going)... I printed out some stuff and hopefully I can get something in. I got to get my reading in too! I'm still looking for jobs and all of them are too far. Sigh. Horrible. Ummm... Yeah, let's see how all of this plans out.

Meh,
Otter

What's Really Going On?

Blue Fox: Yoooooooooooo
Otter: Morning! Your number is still the same.*
Blue Fox: Yup yup, what are you up do? Same old same old?
Otter: Kinda. I'm a lot busier than before... How about you?
Blue Fox: Working hard. Do you have a job?
Otter: That's good to know you're still working hard. Umm... Kinda. I do temporary work but it isn't something that I'd call a job.
Blue Fox: I am working for a big company. And I'm doing it fulltime. Retiring my parents in five months. I have a team in California in Chula Vista. I can put you on my team.
Otter: Why are you retiring your parents?
Blue Fox: They work too hard. No retirement plan. Bad environment.
Otter: Bad environment? How? They work and they have a business.
Blue Fox: If you had the chance to work with something big, wouldn't you try and help your friends? That's why I'm trying to help you out. My parents can't work forever. I don't want them to work. Everyone that is struggling, needs to see my company.
Otter: I understand. And I'm glad you see it that way~ But aren't your parents okay with working? It keeps them busy~ And you can always have them on a retirement plan while they work.
Blue Fox: No they hate working
Otter: What do they plan on doing?
Blue Fox: Call me. I don't like texting.

Indeed I did call. And we spoke for a good 8 minutes and 24 seconds.

USAF Jobs!

Here are the jobs that I selected: (they will be in the order that I wanted them to be)

Still Photography
Aircraft Armament Systems Apprentice
Aerospace Physiology
Physical Medicine
Cardiopulmonary Laboratory
Health Services Technician
Surgical Service
Diet Therapy
Diagnostic Imaging
Histopathology
General Aptitude Area
Pharmacy

With "Still Photography", since I was initially going to go in wanting to do anything that was linked to public affairs and journalism and still be around planes, jets and be an aerial photographer... I put it as my first choice but I have a gut feeling that I won't be lucky to get a spot (and I'm actually okay with that)

With "Aircraft Armament Systems Apprentice", it's like a bomb loader. You'll place bombs and missiles onto jets and other aircraft's before they fly. And that job requires testing and evaluating new weapons systems to inspecting, repairing and loading ordnance so these specialists make sure that when a pilot pulls the trigger, the right thing happens.

With "Aerospace Physiology" (specialist) it's where you teach pilots and aircrews the skills they need to handle in-flight emergencies when something goes wrong at 50,000 feet. You'll conduct training for all emergency devices needed while flying, such as oxygen masks, pressure suits, ejection seats, night vision and the use of parachuting techniques. If an aircrew member needs treatment after an emergency, you may provide it via a hyperbaric chamber. Basically the things you learn, teach and do will be instrumental in ensuring the health and safety of the flying Airmen.

Originally, when I was 13~14 years old, when I wanted to enlist in the Air Force I wanted to be a "Flight Medic" and I still want to but I might transition to it when I re-enlist. I also wanted to be a "Pararescue" (or also known as "PJ's"/Parachute Jumpers) but I found out that it was only for men. Oh well. I can see why it's for men anyways. LOL.

However, I still want to be able to reach out to different fields in jobs so I'll do it slowly. And at the same time, go to school. Get at least one degree and then see if I can do multiple degrees throughout my career and go from there.

I'm excited!,
Otter

Video Games, Boys and Whatnots.

No calls for jobs. No calls for the Air Force. I'm running out of money. Sigh.

But since my best friend's boyfriend has been back into our apartment, it's weird. Even though this is a studio apartment, we all three sleep on the same bed. Can someone say awkward? Lol. But sadly, it upsets my best friend that he's doing the same thing he does before he got kicked out. VIDEO GAMES. He can't even get the motivation to find a job for himself. The Japanese restaurant probably is going to call him because they probably found someone better.

It upsets me too because he allows two girls to do stuff for him like he's a dang child. A dang 24-year-old child who grows his own weed and is a damn pothead. Sigh.

Licorice won't be seeing me this weekend because he's going to a drifting (car) event and going to a Hot Import Night event. JEALOUS. Sigh. But hopefully, Sunday he has his car ready and fixed so we can go on more dates.

Surprisingly enough, Jell-O is trying to get with me. And by "get with me" as in, us being together.

Oh, Blue Fox. You dumbass. Contact me already, jerk. Sigh.

Stay or Move Out and Updates

I haven't blogged in a while and I finally know how it feels to not really blog. It feels a little weird.

Anyways, so I'm four days in and I like it but I feel like me being here is making things awkward around here. I mean, living in with roommates all of a sudden could be a burden, almost I think... That's one of the reasons why I was a little hesitant to come here because I knew I'd be with him and his roommates and I wasn't sure how they would be liking the idea.

I feel like I make things awkward here because I don't attend the university so I'm just... Staying here. I need to step up my game in finding a job though.

I've been feeling this way since the night I came here and now, I'm thinking that I can't stay...

Fffffffffffffffffff... ᅮᅮ

Just when I'm about to be able to go to Maryland... Something comes in the way of it!

It's things like this that make me realize the saying, "When you want something so bad, you can't have it yet" is true. I really want to go to Maryland but...

Good News~ Sorta.

So I spoke to my mother and obviously, I can't tell her that I'm seeing Blue Fox just yet. However, I did tell my mother that Kitty has a roommate and she's moving out but covered two months worth of rent so that I can have time to look for a job and whatnot. Apparently, since Towson University is expanding and opened new shops... I can apply there. I told mother that Katya is helping me out. My mother was so shocked and happy, she told me that I can go.

BUT!

Yes, there's a but. She still wants me to do well in the interview and if nothing happens, then we can plan on how to get to Maryland. I do have a feeling that I won't get it though, because for one, I'm applying for cashier and seeing the people that work the cashiers are old ladies. And I know that they want to be extremely careful with money and since my mother has worked with that kind of environment, she knows how it works behind everything so they aren't going to give a noob like me a cashier job then I've only had one cashier job before. The oldies would want to hire someone with more experience. But... I'll do my best but I won't get my hopes up.

So now, I have to think about how to get to Maryland.

I still haven't told Blue Fox yet... I know he'll want more out of it though. He has an Army mindset so it's "engage-push/shove-execute-succeed" kind of thing. Lol. I wonder if it'll make him excited though... It's killing me that I can't tell him until tonight. I hope it makes him smile and be able to wait for me a little longer...

On the bright side,
Otter

Nothing's Stopping Me But...

I was talking to Blue Fox last night and he seemed really serious about me going over there. I mean, I'm not saying I didn't take it seriously because I did but like, he's really wanting me to go RIGHT NOW. THIS WEEK. Actually, tomorrow.

My Interview Was Moved

Yesterday, I got a call from Julie from Uwajimaya and she told me that the interview for Friday would have to be moved because something came up. So we moved it to Monday, same time (2:30pm) and it'll be at the main office building.

I guess it's a good thing because it gives me time to brush up on my Japanese and Korean skills again and find some good stuff to say about myself. (laughs) Sounds weird to say that. I need to impress Julie a lot... I need this job. This job will show if I can be with Blue Fox. This job is my life right now. LOL. And I need money but more because of Blue Fox.

Preparing,
Otter

Working Out and In Love

So I'm back to working out more but... I wish I shouldn't have told Blue Fox. LOL. Now he's all in it. He was telling me, "Do 50 for both sit-ups and push ups. For sit ups, you should do 15-15-10-10 and rest in between but with sit-ups, you have to do it all at once."

You're. Killing. Me.

Not quite sure how Blue Fox can do 300 sit-ups in one sitting. And he still think it's not enough. Sigh. Makes me feel... Like I either want to jump him for being so yummy or makes me feel slightly weak and that I need to get stronger but more on the I-wanna-jump-your-yummy-self mood.

(about to end a phone call with Blue Fox)
Blue Fox: Mmm, goodnight.
Otter: Goodnight.
Blue Fox: Saranghaeyo~ (In Korean: I love you)
Otter: (gasp, giggly)
Blue Fox: (giggles) Goodnight
Otter: Goodnight
(hangs up but we text)
Otter: I can't believe you said it again... I'm giggly now.
Blue Fox: LOL.
Otter: :)
Blue Fox: I didn't mean to say it.
Otter: Then... Why did you say it?
Blue Fox: Because my heart couldn't keep it in.

Dies,
Otter

PS: Friday at 2:30pm, I have another interview! Yes! Let's hope "Uwajimaya" picks me. I effing need a job.

Spayed, Job Hunting and Play-Fights

LOL @ Turtle being younger than her younger sister! Lol, that was funny. And Turtle, don't hesistate to text Hottie... I'm sure he looks forward to you texting him~ I don't think he'd be annoyed if you texted him! :)

So, ever since my interview last Monday, I still haven't got a call saying if I got the job or not but luckily, I was able to get a little help and tomorrow afternoon, I'll be going to "Uwajimaya" and apply for a job there. Uwajimaya is like an Asian grocery however, it is mainly surrounding itself around Japanese things but it has all kinds of stuff there. I've never really been there and I know the pay isn't as great as it should but, I can't be picky, I need money and I need a job so tomorrow, I'm applying. I hope I get it... I have connections, almost. SO I HOPE I GET IT!

... To Be Continued

August 29th: I was getting ready for my interview and I was so nervous while I was getting changed. Was I missing something? Is my outfit too plan? Is it too much? Is this blouse alright? Do these heels fit my outfit?

After putting all my clothes together, I actually looked pretty cute. (laughs) but I was still nervous that I couldn't eat my breakfast so I texted Blue Fox about it and he told me that when I get nervous, I just had to think about him doing the Native Indian bonfire dance song~ And that made me feel better but I don't think that I would be able to take the interview seriously because I would be laughing too much.

I was 30 minutes early for my interview and was able to take the interview ten minutes early but right when I was about to walk to the door, Blue Fox texted me, "Be confident! You got this!" and that boost up my energy A LOT! It really helped... I knew that I was confident to do well on the job but I just wanted the job so much that I got nervous. Thank you, Blue Fox.

The guy that was suppose to interview me was Eric Johnson but he was out sick so a guy named Peter who was one of the head managers of the company I'm going for and after a 20-minute interview, I was given to Vanessa who is the HR and she had to give me a 15-minute interview... Then, she called up a guy named Diego who is in charge of the position that I'm applying for and he showed me the things that they do and it seemed so chaotic, I was almost overwhelmed and he said, "But don't be overwhelmed because once you start working in this area, it gets easy... It's just fast paced." and I was totally fine with that. He also told me that when and if I do work, it's best to wear flats because you'll have to be climbing a lot on the job and since I was wearing heels for my interview, he commented on me saying, "But it's good to see that you're wearing heels because you have an interview and you look absolutely great."

I was told that I would be given a call regarding if I got the job or not but since they gave me a tour of the job that I'm going for... It makes me think that I got it? Because when you go to get interviewed, they don't show you the job. I don't know, maybe that's how they do it. But I told Blue Fox about it and he thinks the same... And he also said, "Now... I'm excited." (LAUGHS)

Later that night, we spoke on the phone for a little bit but he was sleepy so I decided to let him sleep since he has his last day of work before he moves in to his apartment for school.

Sigh, I miss him.

Now all I have to do is wait for them to call me.

Waiting patiently,
Otter

Cute Moments with Otter and Blue Fox

I think Blue Fox and I are getting... Serious. I mean, this whole time, I know we liked each other A LOT but I guess last night was just one of those moments where I feel like we've leveled up in... Whatever this is. We share things that we normally don't share with other people, we're open with each other and we already made a list of what we want to do with each other and surprisingly, what he wants to do ends up being what I've always wanted to do... It gets more and more scary when we figure out how we have so much in common.

For the last few days now - and you're going to laugh Turtle - whenever we're on the phone together at night, we both brush our teeth together while on the phone! YES, ON THE PHONE. So I can hear him brushing his teeth and he's laughing and I'm brushing my teeth and laughing and... It's just one of the cutest moments that I enjoy a lot and it make me really happy for some reason.

Blue Fox: Go shower but don't brush your teeth yet. I want us to do that together...

At about 12am, he told me that I had to sleep early because I have an interview in the morning and as much as I didn't want to be let go, I know I had to go. But he told me, "Just take a deep breath and smile... And you'll get the job." siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, whenever he gives me words of encouragement... I feel this sense of energy that uplifts my spirit.

Otter: Siiiiigh. I'm doing this just for future reasons and to make this guy that I really like reeeally happy because he's nomu nomu nomu nomu special to me. And I hope this makes him feel better since I can't be there to take care of him... Yet.
Blue Fox: If I had cancer, it would have been cured. That's how great I feel.

... To be continued.

Otter Updates. Kinda.

Woot! Sorry I haven't been on here for a while... My cousin has been taking over the computer. So, I'm stuck on the couch, looking at the ceiling. Since I am cable-less at the moment, there's not much to do but eat and I'm not going to start boredom eating again.

But since I've been on the computer, I'm going to catch up on stuff. Dramas, shows and news. So far, I've watched the first episode of the Jersey Shore (yes, I love that show because the drama is not happening to me) and I'm going to finish my Korean drama "49 Days" which I never thought I'd like but I do.

So far, Nordstrum hasn't called me so I'm applying at Target, but when I am... It says that the server is temporarily unavailable after step three of applying online. Sigh. If not, I'll apply at Old Navy. Haha. I'm trying to find other places that I can get that's near or a place where I can easily car pool in the mornings.

Let's hope something happens soon!

Really lonely,
Otter

Recruiting Nanny.

Even though I may not have gotten job calls yet... I was offered a chance to be a - wait for it - a nanny. ROFL! As much as I like kids, I hate most of them. However, it'll be only my cousin but the reason why I'm taking it is because I will be paid by the government. SICK. So, my aunt is signing me up and they'll do a background check on me. If I do get the job and judging from my aunts time schedule, I can actually earn $1000 a month. YES.

However, I still have to have a plan b. That's why I started to think about learning how to take the bus by myself... I need to learn how to take the bus to Downtown so I can go around and apply for jobs so that I don't have to wait for my aunt to be on her day-off to take me out, you know? So, yeah.

Also, yesterday. I went to Tukwila (a neighboring town) and I went to the Air Force Recruiting office but they were closed and the sign said that they were out on recruiting events. So, I called the number on the sign to "Ssgt. Smith" and I asked if I could make an appointment because I have some things to discuss but since he wasn't there and I'm not sure if I could go on Monday we just talked on the phone. I told him that I'm a DEPPER, currently under a recruiter in Guam but I've been trying to contact my recruiter through email, phone and even leaving voice mails for him to call me back but he hasn't been contacting me back or replying to me FOR A FEW MONTHS. And when Ssgt. Smith heard "a few months", he was like, "A. FEWWWW. MONTHS?!?!?!?!?!?!" and I was like, "Yes. And that's why I want to transfer to a new recruiting office or new recruiter." and he told me that he couldn't really do much for me because I can still live in Washington and still be under the recruiter in Guam and if I really wanted to be under a new recruiter, he said that I have to ask my current recruiter to sign the courtesy ship? I forgot what it was called but he said, "But promise me, that the whole of next week, you will keep calling your recruiter and trying to get a hold of him. If one week passes and you still don't get a word, stop by my office and come see me. So I can have my team help you out. And I will talk to my boss about dealing with the recruiters in Guam for showing poor customers service. But promise me, you will try your hardest to contact him." and I said, "I promise. I will."

And he added, "If you'd like, even if you're under your recruiter in Guam, you can still attend my DEP program. It's once a month on the third of every Saturday. But if you don't like working out then that would be a problem because I work out with my boys. But you are more than welcome to come by... It's just, I want to prepare everyone for boot camp. That's our job... So, just think about it." And I just told him that I'll try.

OHMYGOD, DEPPER BOYS. *drools* Just kidding. But I'll think about it because I have to see how I can get there. However, I will try and contact my recruiter because he's being an ass and not even contacting me. Makes me upset.

We also went to the Southcenter Mall... I forgot to stop by Finish Line to see if Matt still works there. LOLOLOLOL.

A Nanny-To-Be,
Otter
