So far, I'm averaging one job perk a month. Tonight, I got to go on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train for free. It was my first time on it and the first time I had ever been on a train. I definitely recommend it! The food was great! No need to worry about motion sickness either, because my cousin and I were fine after the three-hour trip. Oppressive moment of the night: this guy that I met from Florida referred to my cousin and I as "oriental girls." Geez!
Working at Job #1 has made me realize that I haven't seen/done many things around here. I haven't gone up to Mt. St. Helens. I haven't done the Underground Tour. I haven't gone to the San Juan Islands. I haven't checked out the Olympic National Park, which I heard was nice because of the old growth forests. I should do all of these before I even think about moving to another state. I just hope the Gasoline Gods would cooperate this summer: it cost me almost $20 to get a full-tank this weekend. Ack!

It's Not A Perfect World
Stupid thought of the day: Man, it would be so cool if King, Nina "Foolish Heart" Girado's brother, and I got together. We'd be King and Queen, like literally!
On a sad note, I got stood up by Kinko's Boy. Tsk. Tsk. He was there, but another clerk rung up my order. Hmph. What a tragedy. If anyone needs to get signs and banners made, please let me know. I would be happy to run the errand for you. If you want me to hang around Kinko's to give you a minute-by-minute status report, I would be happy to do so. Do not hesitate to let me know.
On a more sadder note, my brother, sister-in-law, and Ganda Girl are in Disneyland right now. I am super duper jealous. Why can't segments of my life just fit well with each other? Like when I was bumming around the house for months, why didn't they think of going to Disneyland then? The last stage show I saw in Disneyland was Pocahontas. That was like eons ago! I want to go to Disneyland. {=( Actually, Disney World, but I'm willing to compromise. Where's a Dao Ming Si when you need one? LoL.

Movement
The Relocation Gods hath spoken: America's Best Places to Live. In my opinion, the top 5 sounds quite inviting. I wonder if there are Filipinos in North Carolina? I can't seem to picture a Filipino with a thick Southern accent. HeHe.
Also, I saw two job postings yesterday that I'm a bit interested in. One is in San Francisco and the other is in Singapore. I know it doesn't hurt to apply, but I'm hesistant to spend time revising my resume and fine-tuning a cover letter. Vivid horrible thoughts come rushing back to me whenever I hear the word "resume," reminding me of those depressing 6-7 months of unemployment. ::cringe::

Got Mugged
I think I've outgrown my Sanrio collection. *Hikbi* I didn't think the day would ever come, but whenever I go to the mall these days, I don't get excited about going into the Sanrio store anymore. *SIGH. Bye, bye childhood.
Anyway, but I think a new collection has begun. I've been meaning to start this a long time ago, but the funds were never there. When I went to Manila, I bought a Starbucks coffee mug that said "Manila" on it. It's part of the international City Mugs Collection of Starbucks. Today, I bought the Seattle one from the Skyline series. If I drive to Vancouver next weekend, then that's another mug. Getting the Portland one shouldn't be a problem also. When I go to Colorado at the end of May, I can get the Denver one at that time. Yay! Hopefully, collecting these mugs will finally get me moving around the country...and soon after, the world.

I Give Up
According to the teenyboppers that came before me, Vaness Wu (think F4) was named after a street in California. I haven't come across any information regarding where specifically this street is in California (like I care anyway). If these girls were *NSYNC fans, I swear, the name of the city plus zip code would've been common knowledge by this time!
Anyway, I'm here to say that it is in San Francisco. How do I know? Because while doing my bi-weekly marketing mailings today, one of the labels was addressed to a certain house in Vanness Street, San Francisco, CA. That's two Ns, by the way. My first reaction? "This is not happening! You've got to be kidding me!" Last week, it was the Vacation Planner request from someone in Taiwan. Two days ago, it was the Alt + F4 incident. Then today, it was the Vanness Street in San Francisco label. What does the F4 gods have in store for me next?! You know what, I don't even want to know. Hmph. Starting tomorrow, I am going back to my loveless, waiting-for-the-real-Prince-Charming-that-speaks-English self. No more teenybopper ways. No more! My sanity is too precious to lose. *Cough. HeHe.
