"You look tired"

You know the feeling of lying in your RIDICULOUSLY comfy bed after getting up early and working all day? Yeah, I know it too. However, my mattress here, almost positive, is made out of wood. So after work I like the idea of napping, but sleeping on a tree doesn't sound too appealing... not saying I won't nap because BUHLEED ME I'm committed to my naps.


Someone's got a case of the Mondays.
NOT ME. Want to know why? Because it's my goddamn day off! I had some big plans for myself... You know what that means? It means I did absolutely none of it haha I got up in the morning, ate and watching some friends (obvi) and then fell back asleep until around 3:30 #SleepDeprived Please stop judging me. Thanks! Since I'm a good friend and citizen I decided to shower after sleeping all day haha Finally to feel semi-productive and to have somewhat of a life, Ann and I went to Ruby's! This has become our new coffee shop. Main reason: their couches are comfier than my bed at home in 'murica #SHOfluffyImGunnaDie Well we committed and ordered a pot of po-er tea (supposed to make you slim down...... #yeahright). It's delicious so whatevesies. Since we had planned on loitering Taka and Thomas joined us for some tea. Look at me drinking all this tea #ClassyAsHell Of course we got hungry. In case you don't know me, if I'm not eating then I am thinking about eating #WishIWasKidding Finally we decided to get hotpot!!!! This was hilarious haha Taka is from Japan and so when we go places with him, people assume he can speak Chinese too. This is not the case. He knows a minimal amount, and he's been here for almost two years haha (He studied at University of Las Vegas for 5 years and loves Panda Express.. I love him. It might also be because he looks like a big cuddly Panda Bear, AKA- a Japanda! hahah Yes, that's what we call him now). Back to hotpot: For some reason I didn't take pictures, I must have been drunk on tea #kindakidding Thank god there are pictures on the menu because otherwise I would have even less of an idea of what I'm ordering. Taka took one for the team and ordered, he ordered a couple meats, shrimp balls, vegetables and then I have no idea what else. According to Wikipedia, hotpot "refers to several East Asian varieties of stew, consisting of a simmering metal pot of stock at the center of the dining table. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table." <--Thanks for the help wiki. Anywho, it's basically amazing, and is something I am most definitely taking my mom and brother too when they come here. Although, I should probably bring someone who speaks Chinese with haha Oh and at this hotpot place the employees come and put the food in the pot and then put it on your plates, if you try to touch it they all like rush over and tell you not too haha #scurred After dinner, we went back to Ruby's because they were having live music so we though we'd go back for a drink. They gave us the drink menu: Margarita, Long Island Iced Tea, blah blah blah and then.. Mojoto hahaha #ENGRISH #ENGRISH We ordered Mojotos but turns out they didn't have them so we went with a long island #delish Thennnn it was bedtime because I'm A shift all week (6:50am-3:30pm)


Tuesday Snoozeday:
Can I just go ahead and say that A shift suckssss? Only because it starts at 6:50, I usually skid in around 6:55, because the morning briefings are in Chinese, HOW HELPFUL #ClassicLanguageBarrier Morning briefings = me sleeping with my eyes open #talented Anyways. I'M FINALLY HELPFUL AT WORK! Well kinda. haha I still have someone nearby when I check guests out because let's be honest I forget easily. Oh, I had my first check-in! Check-in is more complicated than checking out (for me anyways) so I'm glad I'm A shift just because I do wayyy more check-outs! Did I mention that whenever I meet an American I could not be more excited?! It's just fun! You meet a lot of cool and then some weird people haha Basically majority of my job is talk to Western guests and get their feedback #whattajoke Work was super easy, but I was still super tired after work even though I didn't do anything haha Standing around looking good is a hard days work. hahah #WHITEPERSON <-- Seriously though, sometimes guests do a double-take because they are so confused as to if they really saw a white person and why I'm here. After work I didn't nap, I don't know what's wrong with me. Later on, Thomas, our personal chef, came over and made us delicious freaking pasta. Finally had some shrimp here (everyone says to have seafood here). This was only because he picked off the faces and whatever else you do to shrimp because we told him to not even dare coming into the apartment with faces on the shrimp haha #delicioso Oh and being such a nice person, Thomas tells me before dinner: You look really tired" THANKS BRO *slap in the face*We had the brilliant idea to hit up icafe after dinner for some dessert because hey, we like food! Especially free food! Of course, the executive chef, Chef Nicholas, was talking to us as usual and then he told me "Damn mate you look tired, you need some sleep" THANKS MATE. I look like shit, I gotcha haha After a big meal, I was sleepy, because I'm like a baby, I eat and then I'm tired haha We watched Fawlty Towers and I passed out on the couch #typical


Weh-weh-Wednesdayy
Again I was A shift. Except today I was just so tired and just needed coffee or something, but I'm over this instant shit haha MOM, HELP! DESPERATE NEED OF INSTANT HAZELNUT COFFEE! I'd take hazelnut instant over the gross stuff we have haha I do drink it though, stop judging, because I love coffee and am addicted. Wow, I sure do get sidetracked. At work: "You look really tired" Really people? I get it haha #looklikeshit Welp, talked to white people, smiled and giggled as Asian people told me what a pretty Chinese name I have, typical day. After work, I was like I'm napping!! So I did, for like two hours, until Heather called and asked us to get dinner with her and Thomas at icafe. It would be rude of us not to go. So we went and ate haha Ann and I had dinner with Heather and Thomas.. then with Kamal (one of the guests that we hang out with).. then with Sarah.. We loitered in icafe drinking tea for three hours haha SO MUCH ENERGY! When we got back then I was awake haha I had to make myself go to bed at 11:30pm so that people would stop telling me I looked tired haha


OMG Thirsty Thursday (not!)
This morning I was determined not too look like crap. Got up. Showered. Suited up. Make-up on. Hair up. CUP OF COFFEE. Granola bar. Yogurt. and BOOM, out the door and at work right on time! Today was super slow, although I met someone from Washington DC, and we chatted for awhile killing about 20 minutes of work. Then I talked with one of our long-stay guests from Boston, Gail, for about 45 minutes. The day before she went to a rice dumpling making class, and I don't know how but all the sudden she was offering me the ones she made because she didn't want them all and she wanted my roommates and I to try them. Free food? Umm yes please! I'll let you know how they are! Anyways, good thing I randomly checked my schedule because they changed my shift tomorrow to B shift without telling me, which means I work from 2:20 till 11:00pm, which also means I can sleep in!!!!! YES!!! About time haha After work, hung out, skyped, and then we went to icafe for some dinnnn! Oh and today nobody told me I looked tired!! Must have been the coffee #kiddingbutnot
