• I'm going to get better about posting. I'm not going to promise because I might get too busy on some days and not post. =) Anyway...TGIF. Thank GOD it's Friday. I think it's because I'm so excited for tomorrow that I just wanted this week to be over. Not so much that I was busy or anything like that. It's just I have a volleyball tournament tomorrow and I've been pumped up for it for about 2 weeks now, lol. Wish us luck. I play in this tournament almost every year. I think last year was the only year I didn't play. Then again, I think I did, but I don't remember if I did, hehe. So far, have never brought home a trophy. It's cause the other teams will always bring in some superstar player. I remember one year, one of the teams brought in a professional player that used to play with the China Olympic team or something like that. There was another year that a team brought in a really good player, that was totally cool cause he was just a friend of theirs. But this guy was amazing. I've never seen someone spike so well. It didn't matter where he was on the court, he would spike it. And he wouldn't be breaking any rules cause you can spike from the back as long as you don't jump while in the front 1/3 of your own side. So this guy would be spiking from server positions and what not. He had some wicked hang time and he was tall so he could block really well too. But he jumped and it was like he never came back down. He was really good. My team didn't get to play against him though...what a shame, hehe.

  
  

  So it's been a week now at my new job. I really enjoy it so far. Haven't had too much work to do yet cause I'm still in the training mode. I'm learning more and more each day about the system we are using. It's a pretty good system. I like it so far anyway, hehe. We'll see what happens later on. I thank God for this job. Better pay and I got hired pretty much on the spot. They were really impressed with my resume and everything else.

  
  

  Wow...this busy week is coming to an end. Wednesday's event was a success. Pho and Karaoke were a lot of fun. Although the pho was only decent pho and not the really good pho that we normally have, hehe. Not to mention the service there was HORRIBLE. We've had some pretty bad service before, but this is probably the worst ever. So first off...the guy wouldn't let me move the table cause he didn't believe me that we had 14 people coming...which ended up to be 15 cause Morgan joined us later. So I'm like, alright, whatever. So what happens? Oh..the table we were going to move was taken by another party. So then more of our party gets there like right afterwards and we move a table from the other side onto the end. We want to sit together. The guy was like...no...and moved us to another huge row of tables so he could pull a table over. I just looked at Teddy and was like...o...k...a...y. Then theybring us water to begin with and that was nice. They put the glasses down for just enough people, that's fine. However....he placed water at empty seats to accomodate the rest of the party...but didn't put a glass in front of someone that was already there. It's like...did you not see him? After that...the rest of our party shows up. So a few people are ordering...and they finish quickly cause they knew what they wanted already. So the guy is waiting for the next group of people to answer and it was a group of girls. The guy was all rude about it saying things like, hurry up. It's like...umm....we're the guests in case you forgot. Then...to get our attention, the guy would like slap us on the arm and be like...hey, and ask his question. Ivo and I were getting a bit frustrated with that. Not that we aren't comfortable with being touched, but it was like....excuse me, where did you learn to waiter? Just bad service and the food wasn't even all that great. So this was at the Pho 79 on Havana and Mississippi. We only went there because of time restraints. Otherwise we would have gone to our usual place. Anyway...I would just say use caution if you ever decide to go to that one. I'm not judging, but man...it was not a pleasant dining experience. Good thing everyone was having fun. Karaoke was just a blast. Everyone sang and everyone sounded good. =) Thank You Lord for giving us a fun time.

  
  

  So Teddy, Ivo and I have finished disc 7 of 8 of the Korean drama series "Full House". Very emotional disc. Not in the sense that we were crying, it's just A LOT happened all at once in that disc. Good stuff though. Really good series. There is one character that I started to dislike for the way she was, but in this disc I started to like her again and started to dislike another character that I used to like for who he was. Just a good series, makes you want to continue and watch it. Doesn't ever get boring. I think we are going to eat pho....at the AWESOME-O pho place and then go back to finish disc 8 tonight. So exciting, lol. I can't wait. I'm almost off work too, haha.

  
  

  Wish us luck tomorrow at the volleyball tournament. It's going to be a lot of fun. I hope we do better this year than every other year. We have a great team so I think we'll do really well. After that...it's off to a potluck with some other friends. Praise God...You are so awesome Lord. Thank you for this week and for today. It's been fun. Alright all, I will talk to you later. Take care and God Bless you all.
