Need to find a job soon.

August 28th, 2006 at 01:37 pm

Okay, school is starting soon... Need to buy a few school supplies and a job.

Hopefully, there'll be a lot of students who'll quit their current job by now and there's a lot of help wanted in the store already. I don't think the one that I applied a few weeks ago need anyone, it been almost a month already, so might as well go look for another job. I'm thinking of working at a kid clothing place, that way I don't need to buy anything in particular to work and maybe the schedule will be more flexible... I'll check it out this wednesday or thursday after my surgery is over in three days... I can't wait! But I can't exercise or anything for a month, that sucks... >.< I think I gained a lot of weight these past two weeks...

#1 : Get a mutual fund [Check!]
#2 : Get a job
#3 : Wait till my 1st paycheck arrive
#4 : Separate my pay into different categories.
#5 : Have some fun money left for the month.
#6 : Repeat # 3, 4 et 5.
#7 : Get a retirement account in February

Oh yeah and I need to do the grocery this Wednesday ^.^"

I get the blame in the family...

August 24th, 2006 at 09:19 pm

My dad rebuild the interior of our house a few weeks ago and he puts a liquid on the floor that I didn't know it's dangerous for the health. Today, my cousin insulted me on msn online with words like : FUCK YOU CHRISTINA T.! YOUR DAD HAVE NO BRAIN! I PROMISE U I'LL CALL THE POLICE IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN!

I wanted to confront her about it, I didn't even know what's wrong, so I called her and she told me how could I do this, why the heck I put some form of dangerous liquid and I didn't tell her about it...

Okay #1: I didn't know we were going to put the liquid first. #2 : I didn't know it was dangerous. #3 : Why the heck is she insulting me and assuming things without talking to me. She told me why she should talk to me abut it. Well she shouldn't insult me, I did nothing and I always get part of blame beside my father when he, himsef, did something wrong and I wasn't even part of it. I get so damn hate in her family for years, every damn thing I do, it's wrong. They make up stories that they believe it's true without talking to me.

Call me stupid but I didn't know the liquid is dangerous. She told me everybody knows that, and I told her I didn't know it. She didn't believe it so I got so furious at her that I hang up on her.

I feel guilty for dangering her little sister health, but it was my dad who put the damn liquid without warning the neighbors that live next to us. Now, my cousin is furious at me, probably call me a liar and hate me, that she's going to tell everyone her little story... I'm through with the useless drama with her, I know it could endanger her health, but what I could do ??? I DIDN'T KNOW! What done is done, I can't do anything to change it what had happened. All I can do, is learn from it, but she insults me in MSN in front of everybody to makes me seems like a bad guy here...

I don't care, I'm hurt with her insult and the things that happend in my family. I swear, Chinese family is one of the worst... I don't plan on living near my families... I'm going far far away as possible later in the future.

Anyways, I'm planning to save more aggressively after this accident and try to learn from this, I'm not becoming like my father anytime soon.

Money is a taboo subject

August 12th, 2006 at 10:10 am

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend that I haven't seen or talked for a while. In the beginning, it was all cool, but then... Typical me... .____." I was talking about money with her and she has problem with her little brother who finished high school a year ago and he haven't gone back to school yet or he's not planning to go anytime soon, he doesn't even pay part of their home expense, all he pays is the internet and one third of the cable, that's all. He doesn't work that much, only do part-time, he told her sister that he doesn't want to work too hard in anything, so she was pissed at him...

I was trying to help her with her money and trying to make her little brother pay part of the bill, so I suggest cutting off the internet and the cable, to make him help pay a part of the bill, but then there's a lot of but but but from her, so I was like okay then, you need to make sacrifices sometimes... Then she got all mad at me and she acted all piss, and I told her that I'll back off... She don't need my help. After a few no money conversation, everything was alright at the end...

Never ever going to talk money with a friend or anybody again... Everyone seems to know what they're doing with their money, then I'll back off. I should wait till I have more experience in the future, I have no right to talk with people who don't need my help in the first place. It can bring a bad side of them... Creepy. I wonder if I'll experience this when I become a Financial advisor... Yeah, I should prepare for it.

Today's schedule

August 8th, 2006 at 07:58 am

#1 : Eat breakfast... Dad has bought the biological cereal, so I'm going to try it out.

#2 : Groceries shopping, didn't have the chance yesterday because someone is repairing our house, and I have to watch him.

#3 : Start cooking the food I've bought.

#4 : Go visit my cousin next door, to see what she bought on her Mexico trip.

#5 : Wash the bathrooms.

#6 : Exercise

#7 : Read the books that I've rent yesterday.

I guess that's all for today. Tomorrow, I'm going out to see if I can rent Chinese books to read, I need to brush up on my reading since Chinese school is starting in mid-Septemeber. Also, I'm waiting for the call for the interview, I don't feel like looking for other jobs for now, because I'm going to have surgery in a week and a half I might go look in September if Globo doesn't hire me.

I'll go buy my Corneille CD somewhere in Sept or Oct, I don't have a lot of money now, so I should spent it wisely.

Need to do the groceries... Again ^.^'

August 6th, 2006 at 06:01 pm

The last time I went grocery shopping was in mid-July and I had a lot of fun except I was hungry that day, but I shopped wisely and carefuly... I spent around 22$ and it lasted me for two weeks on breakfasts and lunches. Well I need to do it again, since at home there's nothing to eat, nothing healthy, everything is junk foods.

Mom is a hypocrite sometimes, she called me fat, yet she buys tons of unhealthy and greasy foods for us. I don't mean to direspect her, but the way she treats me, there's bound to be some bad comments about her. Her definition of skinny is like a stick, there's no such things as normal for her or puberty. ._______.'

Anyways, it may seems weird for a teenager to buy her own groceries, having a mother who loves working... She chooses work over vacation anytime, although I don't remember the time she took a real vacation... eum... I remember she went to Toronto with us three years ago to visit her sister. I think that's about it.

Sometimes, I wish my mother will be more like my father, who likes to travel a lot, and she's keeping him from doing those things... Baah, she's not going to stop me from going wherever I want, I'm still going to travel around the world in three years and make my dad jealous that I get to go to exotic places. =P

Back to the groceries shopping, yeah... This time, I'm going to a different store to buy food, I'm going to find a way to reduce my spending money. I'm running low on my savings and I'm still waiting for the interviewer to call me for an interview... I really really want the job, it's perfect! Near my school and my house, so my dad won't waste his gas to drive me home at night.

To buy or not to buy?

August 4th, 2006 at 05:11 pm

Today I went to the library around 4:30 pm to write my French version of my c.v, I waste 1.10$ for papers... I could've waste 0.70$ if I have paid attention to the space and my errors. Anyways, I guess spending an hour on the c.v has finally paid off, it was pretty neat, but I forgot to add languages which is not really important I guess, I included it in the Globo's paper. Anyways, I went to see the manager to give it to him, and he remembers my name, and he told me he already read my application for the job... Yes! All I need to do now is wait for his call for the interview... I hope I'll ace it, he looks like a nice person. =D I think I gave him a good impression of me.

Oh yeah before I went to give my c.v to the manager, I rented Corneille CD ; Les marchands de reves for only 1$ in the library, one of my favourite French singer... I really want to buy his album, I'm scare of regretting it in the future, but I wanted it for so long... I did an oral presentation on him last Frebruary and I got a good grade. I really like Reposez en paix, Lettre a la Maison Blanche, Sur la tombe de mes gens, Petite soeur, okay... I like them all!! He's a great artist! My personal favourites are Petite soeur, Le bon dieu est une femme,Les marchands de rêves et ca arrive. I have his first CD and I didn't regret buying it, but his second CD is way better than his first.... AAH I want to buy it so badly. I'll go look for it somewhere in September or October to see if they sell it for cheaper, but I can get it for less than 10$ with my certificat $. >.

I pass!! I pass!!

August 4th, 2006 at 09:41 am

I got 81% in my math exam! 3rd best in the class. Yes! I can go to math 536 this year, two weeks of summer school with a great teacher finally paid off. I'm so glad I made a decision to change teacher after my first week because the other one simply suck... The best grade in our group is 90% and my old group from last week is 68%, thank god I changed group last week!!

I want to thank Ariane, my math teacher, for everything!

Today, I'm going to make my French c.v, I didn't get the chance to do it yesterday, it took longer than I expected to talk to the financial advisor about opening my mutual fund.

Before I start saving money and investing it...

August 2nd, 2006 at 10:20 pm

#1 : Get a mutual fund
#2 : Get a job
#3 : Wait till my 1st paycheck arrive
#4 : Separate my pay into different categories.
#5 : Have some fun money left for the month.
#6 : Repeat # 3, 4 et 5.

I'll probably get a retirement account somewhere this week or next week, I don't know yet, but I'll start concentrating on #1 et #2 for now.

Tomorrow after my meeting with the financial advisor for my mutual fund, I'll go to the library to make a French version of my c.v. After I finished my c.v, I'll start looking for a job that's close to my school and house. I'm thinking of applying for "Linen Chest" as a sale girl, although, it looks boring there,it's located in a boring mall, so it'll keep me from spending my money and I get competitve pay. Yay!
