Day 4 & 5: A New Age

Witchery, Crown Casino

Job interview went well. She bought me a coffee. She asked me 3 pages of questions. It was very informal. We often digressed to such topics as horoscopes and typical features of virgo's. She said virgos are very good at paying attention to detail. I told her I'm a leo and I pay attention to detail because I'm a designer. I expressed my belief that personality isn't determine by the day the person is born. We spoke about Frankie magazine, the articles in the lastest issue, why we liked Frankie over Yen magazine and her dislikes to the now matte pages as opposed to the glossy pages. I told her about my 31 Days of Difference Challenge and invited her to the free wine tasting at Jwow. I also told her it was my birthday :)

I felt like a rich bitch walking around the CBD and Crown in what I was wearing. People were looking and smiling at me. I felt I could walkin into a high class shop and straight out ask for a job. I had a slightly awkward conversation with a stranger on the tram:

Guy: Hi

Me: Hi

Guy: .... How are you? Me: I'm good

Guy: Are you going out tonight? Me: Umm no, I've actually got a job interview

Guy: You look very nice by the way Me: Oh thanks! *laughs*

....

Guy: Can I ask you something?

Me: Yes?

Guy: *mumbles*

Me: Sorry?

x3

Me: I'm sorry, I can't hear you

Guy: Do you have a boyfriend?

Me: Ohhhh.. haha yes I do. Sorry...

Witchery'ed out

Jwow Wine Bar, Melbourne

This wine tasting was my breakfast. 6pm. I'm tipsy.

Four cupcakes too pretty to eat from James & Cathy

Don Woori, Melbourne

Vman picks me up to go Korean BBQ. There is a massive bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat of the car. Aww!! Cute. We sat next to Reg and Claudia... akwarrrrrddd... I tried a new drink today too. Mango flavoured sake! Such cute cups too...

Mango Sake

Jwow Wine Bar, Melbourne

Return to my loving jwow family, helen, mel, yao, joel, cheese, ray ray, mebz and ty. We're off to Golden Monkeyy!!!!

Match Bar, Melbourne

Helen convinced me to go. I told her I was scared of going to Match because if they found out it was my bday they will spike my drink (with a disgusting spirit STRAIGHT). Helen made sure it was a nice sweet shot, she even taste tested it for me to make sure. Thanks kiddo.

Golden Monkey, Melbourne

The walk from Jwow to Golden Monkey was a shakey one. Lt Lonsdale is notoriously rocky, not good for a girl in heels with weak legs and a tipsy head! I didnt fall. In fact I didn't fall for the entire night! Although I wouldn't have mind some battle scars on my knees to show people the next day. There was a live jazz band at Golden Monkey. Helen was on the verge of passing out but insisted on drinking a Sezerac. Bad idea. Apparently I almost started the bartender because I thought he ripped me off $30. But because I was tipsy and confused I wasn't sure if I gave him $50 or $20??? There was an old man trying to take control of the situation...

Old man: What's wrong? Me: Are you the owner here?? Old man: No Me: Then why are you acting like you're in control?? Old man: (laughs) I am the owner..

Wtf, stop tripping me out. He insisted that I took a bday shot with him. I told him

'I'm on the verge of throwing up in your lovely venue. You'll have to clean it. You don't want that. I might even throw up on you're nice suit there'

He was shocked at first. then probably realised I was just fucking around. He told me I would have to prove it to him. He gave me a shot. It looked straight. It looked like tequila.

Me: 'Remember what I told you!'

Old man: okay okay, can we get Jen another shot??

Helen: JUST DO IT JEN!!!

Ugh. I did it. Fuck tequila.

Oriental Spoon, Melbourne

FINALLY!! THE TIME HAS COME. Aaron took me out to dinner. So nice of him. Really good service at Oriental Spoon, the waitress was so cute. Aaron tipped $10. A new drink: CORN TEA!

Corn tea

Korean fried chicken (better than KFC) and chilled buck wheat noodles

Strange.

Home, Kealba

Total time away from home: 36 hours

It was impossible to pin point where and when the day ended and the next began. It was just a 36 hour party. I loved it. Crazy. And at least I don't look like death.

Party at Helen's house on the 13th. Family party on the 20th. Birthday celebrations will last for one month bitches.

360 Degrees of Fun Fun Fun

MUTHA FUCKING MONEY MAKING. and I'm getting better at it too. i made a profit on all the items i bought at the op shop for the purpose of reselling on ebay. shit i bought for $2.50 will sell for $12. I was very happy to find a leather bag i bought for $5 sold for $112.50 thats like a 22.4 times more than what i paid for it. On friday i meet the General Manager at Rydges Hotel Meblbourne. and I'm happy to say i've secured a job behind the bar as a casual bartender. The pay is the same as jwow on weekdays but the weekends is more. I want to work there since it is Rydges Hotel, my favourite hotel. It's a bigger and more progressive company which means it probably looks after its workers. I'm also looking forward to working in a new environment, and learning new bartending skills. Tmrw I have a group interview with Myers at the HQ in Docklands. I applied for a casual sales assistant job within the cool Basement department but I think at the interview they will hire people for other departments as well. Shot gun not! My attire is a cross between neat casual and formal attire - infact its pretty much smart casual. Wee. I wanna stand out in a good way, I want them to look at me and be like 'YEP! She's a Basement girl!' And if they don't like me because of what i wear then its not the kinda place i wanna work at anyway. I shouldn't have to impress or change who I am to get a job. I'm a hard worker and a decent looker. Respect me with my nose piercing and mullet hair!! At the moment I feel I am financially stable. Just wait till all the fucking bills run in then im fucked. I've drank alcohol 7 days in a row this week. I've also travelled into the city every day and been at jwow everyday this week. I may as well live in the city. I can make money much more easier since the jobs are in the city. And getting home at 3am after a bartending shift will be next to no problemo. Lucky city fuckers. Last night was an epic alcoholic night. Drinks between jwow, Match, jwow, Match and Randy Dragon. I threw up in the toilets there. 180 degree vomit. I cleaned it up off the seat, wall and floors. I did them a favour. I crashed at james house on his leather couches, which wasnt too comfy against my leather pants. It made it even worse because these pants were TIGHT, next level shit, but i coudlnt take them off incase the blankets fell off me and my bare legs and undies would exposed. The Pacquiao boxing match was on that night. Doesn't he inspire a little Filippino pride in all of us latin-souled Californian accent speaking people. For the past three weeks I've been having too much fun with life. One week after mid semester break ended and im still partying. and now this fucking homework will be the death of me. I got myself in deep shit right now. Fuck.

Hello World, This is ME

Tis I, Jennifer Sato of Melbourne, Australia. I have decided to make a blog to take up all the spare time I have now that I'm on holidays from Uni. Yay. Another internet distraction, not that I need anymore. I'm getting to lazy these days, I have no reason to wake up (unless its for work which is only twice a week) so I sleep in til 2pm sometimes. Well today I spend the 2nd half of my day repairing and adjusting some of my clothes and bags. I spend the 1st half of the day vomiting and poo'ing and distracting myself from the horrible tummy pains. These pains come once in a while, the doctors say it's because I don't eat enough veggies and red meat. Tummy pains are a reminded to eat the right foods! Anyway, I unpicked and sewed on a few tassels on my Charcoal top that I bought yesterday for $25 (SALE), the strap off my Dangerfield bag that had come off, the belt-strap off my black pants, mended mum's pockets on her work apron, took the garter off my skirt and the emblem on my Element pants. Then I got creative with an idea to sew on gold buttons down the side of my black leggings until Vman came over and interrupted with a small McChicken meal that I ordered from him. I hate it when the price of food rises while the food starts to shrink in size. I'm loving these Element pants, they feel exactly the same as Dickies Chino pants. Except they come up real high, exposing a long crotch. They're little boys pants, but what fits me and what I like I shall buy. They were only $20, I'm going back for more tomorrow.
