Follow up to Halloween!

Last week was, stressfull to say the least. I wish i could give a detailed story about it, but i appreciate my head being attached to my neck y’a know.

Last weekend i volunteered at FICMM (Madrid’s International Film Festival). I’ve checked out the gallery and you can spot me in just one picture, bummer! LOL It was funny however, met some interesting and cool people, and some Spanish celebrities (pseudo celebrities too)

Job is going ok, not counting the huge ass argument i just had with a coleague…Our Service Manager was transferred to another center and today we are expecting the new Service Manager, a british girl named Sharon with whom i did the training and chat with from time to time on Facebook, she’s hilarious!
I’m also considering getting a full time shift. It’d be 2pm-10pm, KILLER hours i know (not because it’s too many, but because after lunch until night, ugh!). But money is money right? And i need to step away from the fucking internet….Ironic, since i’m AT work and ON the internet lol. Noone can break us apart baby <3 loloser.

This is my last week before holidays! I’m on holidays from Nov. 1st till Nov. 16th. I’ll be joining my folks and grandma up north on the 3rd most probably. I couldn’t decide between going up north with my parents or down south with my bff, but i’m broke as hell to mantain myself for a week at my bff’s and my mum said she’ll pay for my train ticket up north, plus you know, when you’re with your parents you hardly ever pay for anything haha! So that’s it.

I’ve been connectionless at home for a few days, just enough to acumulate a bunch of movies in my to-watch list.
Yesterday i watched “The strangers” and “Girl with a pearl earring“. “The strangers” wasn’t as bad as expected, but it’s no masterpiece either. I think i liked it more than it deserved because it’s based on a true story, and i really can not help empathazing with the characters.
“Girl with a pearl earring” in the other hand was quite disappointing. I’ve read the book not long ago and i loved it, but we all know that movies based on books always suck if you’ve read the book before. I don’t know if it was the way they wrote the script, or the editing in post production, but they took out very important parts of the story, not mentioning the different ending. Bottom line is, the movie sucks!

It’s Halloween this Friday! I normally don’t get too excited because i never dress up or anything (i think last time i dressed up i was 12. I dressed up as a nun lmao). But yesterday my friend Angela called me saying they want to do a group dress up this year. It’d be me, Angela, Virginia and Isabel, so i give me ideas! We’re 3 white girls and a black one, if that helps! Me (you know what i look like, right?, a blonde one, a red haired one with dreadlocks and a black one with…Fuck, she changes her hair so often i don’t know what it looks like right now LOL. Well ANY IDEAS? Help!

Ps: I’ve made my Flickr public again and added some pics. ADD ME!

Weekend

This weekend was kinda cool! I had to work on Saturday, but only 4 hours in the morning. After lunch i went with my friend Angela to Ikea, i hate that place!
She needed to buy a few things for her new house. Then, after 2 hours pushing people and being pushed around the freaking store (it was packed!) we went to her new house, which i hadn’t seen yet. I fought with the bath curtain thing, hanger, holder or whatever it’s called. It took us 20 minutes to realize how it worked, i honestly felt the stupidest i have ever felt in my whole life, IQ of 10. Now i know how G.W. Bush feels, lol.

After fighting with the freaking curtains, we went to see our friend Tania, who is 9 months and a few days pregnant. Angela wanted her to started giving birth right there, and she kept telling her stuff to make her nervous LOL bitch. It was a bit disgusting (or disturbing) knowing certain things about pregnancy. I think I’ve never been happier about my infertility LOL.

At night Virginia joined us and we went to watch “the boy in the striped pyjamas“. I wanted to read the book before watching the movie, but Virginia and Angela insisted and i had no option. I wanted to watch “Mirrors“, but my friends are pussies *sigh*
Anyways, the movie was good. I felt disgusted at certain times, I’m too sensitive about the whole Holocaust thing, and no, i wasn’t affected by it (directly, indirectly all human kind was in my opinion) nor do i know anyone who was, but it pisses me off so badly. The gas chamber, in the movie, i was thisclose to crying. Fucking bastards.

I finished reading “Girl with the pearl earring“, it took me 4 freaking days. I don’t know why or how I’m reading so fast lately. I got done with “A cry in the night” in 2 days, “Eleven minutes” took me 5 days, and now I’m done with “Girl with a pearl earring” after 4 days. Considering i only read on my way to work and back (that’s 2 hours altogether), well except “A cry in the night”, i was freaking hooked on that book LOL, i’m reading too fast. Man, I’m gonna spend my whole salary on freaking books!

Damn phone companies, cell carriers and their motherfucking lies!

Last week i went to Orange (cell carrier) to leave my current carrier (Movistar) and start with Orange. I took a good plan with Orange that included a Blackberry Pearl 8120 for 69€, i signed the papers and they started the portability between companies.

2 days after that (that is last Wednesday) i got a call from Movistar saying they’ve received the portability petition from Orange, and they wanted to keep me as their client so they offered me a good plan (better than Orange) and the Blackberry Pearl FREE, only condition for the plan was staying with them for another 18 months. I made the girl explain the plan and conditions couple times, double checking ALWAYS.
I had to send them a fax saying i wanted to cancel the portability with Orange. The girl said once they receive my fax, they’d send me a text confirming the plan i chose and 2 or 3 days after that, i would recieve a code to go pick up my Blackberry at any of their shops FOR FREE.

So i’ve been waiting for the text since Friday. During this week i’ve recieved several texts saying the portability has been cancelled and that my plan has changed so i can start calling with the new prices, etc.

Right now i called Movistar because 2-3 days of waiting for the code for the BB, have turned into a week. So, here comes the main part, the girl says that there was a mistake, and according to my preivous plan and my points (you get points per call) i can NOT have the BB for free, and would have to pay 120 FUCKING €UROS.

I flipped and told her i wanted to fill a complain and i started cursing to her on the phone, because I FUCKING MADE THAT FUCKING CUNT CONFIRM EVERYTHING TO ME TWICE. She says she can’t transfer me to the complains department and that i have to call myself.

Well i call the fucking department and some south american guy tells me (after i gave him my phone # and my name) that there’s a problem in the system and he can’t fill my complaint right now. I’VE CALLED 3 MORE FUCKING TIMES, AND THEY’VE HUNGED UP ON ME.

Ohhhh myyyyyy fuckiiiiiing goooooodddd! GET A GRIP JAURNE, GET A MOTHERFUCKING GRIP.

LIARS!!!! Now i have a plan and a contract that i have to stick for for another 18 fucking months, and no BB!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD PART IS, i’m going to Orange this evening to re-start the portability again (i hope the girl understands and doesn’t tell me to fuck off  ), and if Movistar tries to keep me tied to them for 18 months, i will say they lied to me. If they say they have a conversation taped where i said i wanted the plan, i will DEMAND that conversation to prove they granted me a free BB, TWICE.

WOW WOW WOW, i’m about to punch someone.

^I wrote that yesterday. After i wrote it, my brother spoke to one of his friends who owns a few phone shops. This friend called his girlfriend and told her we (my brother and i) were on our way to the shop, and that i wanted the BB.
We got there, the girl started the portability to Orange (again) and called to the warehouse asking for a BB.
I was going to pay 69€ for the Pearl 8120, she could only give me the 8100 for free, so since there isn’t much of a difference (i guess), i took it. I will have my Blackberry Pearl 8100 next Wednesday, finally!

So long!

Well so long for a second job and extra income! On Monday i went to the first day of training at the evening job, and i only stayed 4 hours out of the 6 it lasted. Why? Well, it really wasn’t what they told us it was in the interview, it sucked! So hey, i don’t need the money, screw you and your false job description!

I’m actually happy i didn’t take it. This week i’ve received an order i made online, so had to go to the mail office to get it. It’s some make up from Cherryculture, it was cheap and i wanted to try it (regardless of the advise from some fellow Americans saying they were cheap drugstore brands). NYX didn’t turn out that bad, it’s not MAC or The body shop, but it’ll do.

Yesterday when i got out of the train (tube, metro, underground, whatever) i saw a very good and old friend to whom i hadn’t seen in ages! We chatted for 45 minutes and promised we’ll see each other more often, so it was cool.
Then i went to my friend Natalia’s hair salon to continue my transition from black hair to bright red. It’s looking good so far, but it only looks bright red on the sun, bummer!
And the day before i went shopping and for lunch with my friend Lulú, then we got stoned out of our minds at her house LOL.
So many things i would have missed if i were at that crappy job!

A few pics from yesterday

Ps: I was going to call my carrier today to check when i’m getting my damn Blackberry, and i forgot my cell at home, fuck!

Hey!

It’s been forever, i know! And i don’t think i would have updated if Amy didn’t remind me of this blog lol.

Well let’s see! Summer’s gone, today i start a new job (haven’t quited the morning one, i just took an evening job too). I’ll continue in the academy, and i’ll work in customer care in the evenings for some phone company. That’s 9am-2pm / 3pm-9pm working M-F plus some Saturdays every few weeks in the academy.
I don’t need the money, but i WANT the money. I live with my parents and pay rent to them, besides that, the only bill i have is my cell’s bill, so the reason to take another job was boredom! I was sick of being in the computer all evening doing nothing, or being at home doing nothing. I thought about taking some courses and joining some classes, but with a part time job salary couldn’t, so hey, new job! 1300€ a month ($1900,00)

I’m also getting a new cell! Blackberry Pearl 8120 *runs around* I’m so excited! I wanted a Curve SO bad, but only could get my hands on the Pearl (no carrier seems to have the Curve available, they’re not big fans of Blackberry apparently). At first i was going to get it for 69€ with Orange, but when my carrier was told i was changing companies they called me and offered me the Pearl for free, and an awesome plan with tons of free calls and stuff, so hey, cheap comes first!
They should text me some code, and as soon as they do, i can go pick up my Blackberry, yaaay!

Besides that, i don’t think there’s anything else to say! Well, there probably is, but it’s enough for today. I PROMISE i will try to keep this updated. Dude at least once a week, that’s not THAT much Jaurne, ffs!

Social butt-flies

I decided to update this blog instead of the other one, which is in deep need of updating, because as much as i hate WP it’s true that it’s faster and easier for a quickie lol

Last Sunday was my 25Th birthday, my oh my! I’m old, eeekkk! Since it’s my friend Angela’s birthday too, we celebrated it together on Friday. It was cool, okay, fun, nothing out of the ordinary lol No, but i had fun.
You can see some pictures from the celebration by clicking here.
I didn’t get many things, but i convinced my parents to get me a new digital camera (who would have guessed that after getting me a house they would buy me anything for my birthday? Specially when they haven’t bought me anything for the past 10 or 12 years). Anyways, i got a Kodak Easyshare C713, which ironically, happens to be my birthday date, 7-13. Now i can stop complaning about my mum not buying me a new camera lol I’m a bitch.

This week has been abso-fucking-lutely crazy, i haven’t stopped for one second. My best friend is back in town from college, and between work, her, other friends i’ve got in contact with again after a few years, and random people in general lol, i haven’t been that much at home nor online. But what REALLY is driving me insane it’s the lack of sleep. For the past two week’s i haven’t slept more than 5-6 hours a night, and i’m a lazy ass and need, at least, 8 hours a night and around 10 hours 1 night a week, so i’m in desperate need of a good sleep.

It should be no secret that i am not a very social person, maybe that’s why i’m so stressed out about seing so many people, hanging out and meeting with so many people in so little time. I knew that as my bff got here i’ll start going out more, but i seriously DO NOT LIKE hanging with a bunch of girls (some i am close to, less close to some, no close at all with most). I thought of these girls as mature and good friends between them, but just after a week hanging out with them it’s like WTF byee! “OMG B is mad at N for not inviting her to her house, but N invited those guys. And then it turns out N didn’t invite B because B would bring S along and it’s S who N is really mad at. And A told J about N being mad at S, and J told B, and B and S had already talked and they knew something was going on. And now A it’s mad at N for hanging out with A instead of her” OH FUCK OFF!
I guess this is what we could call “drama” (there you go, i said it, 5 IQ points down the drain), and i can’t stand it, it stresses me the fuck out, it makes me want to get them all together and force them to sort it out one way or another (i’d prefer fist fights, much more entertaining than “you said she said he said…”).
I’ve been feeling my bff weird as well, no surprise if she’s hanging out with these loonies, so she invited me to her house for lunch yesterday and i told her that she’s acting weird and is stressing me out and if this continues this way i’m not going out with them anymore. I don’t care what shit they have going on between them, but i don’t want the stink anywhere near me.

I’m at work woohoo. My friend Miguel is picking me up later to go for lunch and then I AM (trying to convince myself) going home, tidying up my room, hanging out with myself (i never thought i’d say this, but i miss myself lol), doing stuff online (again, my spanish blog needs updating), and then i’m having an early night. Work tomorrow :’( I hate people.

Summer ’s here already, huh?

I never really notice it’s summer until i realize my birthday’s coming up (July 13Th btw, mail your pressies to P.O Box…lol)

Work’s going fine. Had to work on Saturday which sucks, but i don’t have to work this next one so i can celebrate my birthday with my friends. It’s also my friend’s Angela birthday, the same day as me, so we celebrate it together, and we can get up to about 40 or 50 people together, in words you understand, that means A HELL OF A LOT of alcohol LOL

The 25th it’s bank holiday on here, so i’m going up to the Basque country to spend a few days with my friends. I must say after the last 11 and a half hours train ride two weeks ago, i’m not very excited about another 6 hours train trip lol But plane tickets are too expensive, plus i’m not sure i’d have someone to take me to the airport *sigh* 6 more hours on a fucking train then!
Can’t wait to be there, i get so fucking wasted every time LMAO. Seriously, it’s like i only go up there to get shitfaced.

My best friend is coming back home from college tomorrow. I haven’t seen her in 4 months, which is far more than usual, so i’m really excited and anxious. She’ll go back to college in late September, but i have 10 days off in November, so i’ll go down there to spend them with her…I spend my life going up and down lol…Oh crap, that sounded nasty :X

I’m still homealone, except for my brother but he doesn’t count lol. Gosh i miss my mom, mostly because she does all the house stuff :X i’m a bitch hahaha! I got up at 7am, went to work at 8am, got back home at 3pm, cooked lunch, went grocery shopping at 5pm, got back home at 6:30pm, tidied the house up a bit, put the shopping away, now i have to wax, shower, and straighten my hair…It’s not easy being a modern, single, responsable lady!

Did i post pictures of my new look? Don’t think i did. Chopped about 8inches off and dyed it redish. It’s fresh and it’s what i wanted for summer, although i must admit i’m still getting use to it, i don’t like how the cunt hairdresser layered it.

So um, let’s see…

I don’t know how i fucking manage to leave this thing un-updated for so long…Anyways, went up north, signed the papers, i own a house and it’s fully paid (thanks mom & dad!).

My coleague, the evening receptionist, it’s a dumb fuck. Today i spoke to the centre director and he is not happy with her either. Then he spoke to the service manager and she isn’t happy with her either, so the service manager asked me why i didn’t take the full time position (which one of the bosses offered me last Friday), and i said no because “i can’t” a.k.a full time’s hours suck balls! 2pm-10pm, uh don’t think so!
Jokingly i said I’d take the full time position if it was morning shift, something like 9am-5pm, and she cheered with joy ¿? wtf ¿? And said she’ll talk to the boss about it, because she wants me full time since the girl doing full time now is dumb and lazy, but she pities her and doesn’t want to fire her. To be honest she doesn’t deserve to get fired, but she needs to lighten up, she’s like a freaking zombie or something.

I have to work this Saturday. Normally i don’t mind, it means i leave 1 hour early during the week days and i like that, but this Saturday i have to work with the only person i can not stand in the centre, the mega retarded consultant, gosh he’s annoying as hell!

OIn Sunday morning i went shopping, and i casually met with a friend i hadn’t talk to in 2 years. We kinda fell out because i’m stubborn as fuck, but she came to me as she saw me, we had a drink and did alittle chit chat to catch up with each other’s lives. We’re keeping in contact again and i’m happy because i love her, i’ve known her for too long and have lived way too many things with her to let our friendship die. this just goes to prove how stubborn i am, although i feel and think this way about her, i let the friendship die for 2 years, and to be honest, if it was me who saw her first instead of her seing me, i wouldn’t have said anything, so i’m glad she saw me lol

I’m sooooo tired! I’ve been going to bed tool ate for the past few days, and getting up too early in the morning. It’s 10:30pm right now, and today I WILL go to bed before 2am! Let’s say, 11pm? That suits me!
That of course, if i don’t get mad addicted to Karol’s boards which she just opened. JOIN!

Fucking finally

My mum got a call today from the real state agent. She said the signing will be on Wednesday, uh perfect, NOT! I told them a million times I’d have to ask for a day off, so please make the signing on a Friday so we can leave on Thursday evening, sign on Friday, rest Saturday and I’d take the train back on Sunday.

Well the guy (solicitor) doesn’t work on Friday…GREAT! Now i have to work on Tuesday 9am-2pm, we leave at 3pm, 8 hours car ride. Sign the house papers on Wednesday morning, spend the evening there DOING NOTHING, take the train at night and arrive to my city just an hour before i have to go to work…Great innit? /sarcasm

I hope i get the fucking camera i want after this lol

Wtf lol

Actually, i can update now hahaha

1st – Serj Tankian
2nd – Rabbit
3rd – New house
4th – Work & holidays
5th – Shoes
Sorry, just making a no-so-mental list of what i wanted to talk about before i forgor haha

I SAW SERJ TANKIAN LIVE! *runs around in circles*  Serj Tankian a.k.a system of a Down’s former main voice.
He was here on May 30Th if i remember correctly. At first i was all down and depressed because no one wanted to/could come, but at the end i was like fuck it, i’ll go on my own. He performed at the Electric Weekend festival.  Since i went on my own i missed Offspring and Rage against the machine (i would have had to wait 2 hours after Serj’s performance to see Offspring and RATM), so basically i paid 70€ ($108 ) for 1 hour of Serj lol But oh wasn’t it worth it! I love that guy, i love his voice, the live perfomance was just amazing, and he dedicated my favourite song of his album (which i bought, omg it had been years since i last bought a cd) Saving us, to all the girls in the audience *sigh*
Click here to see some pics i took of his performance.

The rabbit. I was a rabbit owner for like….20 hours? LOL. A girl from work had a rabbit but she couldn’t keep it, and she told me it was a DWARF (key word) rabbit, so i thought omg how cute, a dwarf rabbit!! Well, dwarf my ass! The thing was huge, HUGE I TELL YOU! Like motherfuckingly huge lol amazing. So i came home with the dog rabbit and the cage was literally half the size of my bed. So, on the 23rd is my nephew’s 1st birthday, and i knew his sister (my 6 y/o niece) would go nuts over the rabbit, so i spoke to y brother and i took it to their place the day after i got it. However, i made a few videos of him, you can see them hereon my Youtube.

The new house, no news about it yet. The real state woman should call us ASAP, because the deposit my parents made on the house expires this month, so if we don’t sign the papers this month they have to give my folks the money back, and bye bye house! My mum would die, she’s already planning all the things she needs to take there, how she’s gonna spend her summer there and what not. Whenever they call us, if they do, i’ll ahve to ask for a free day at work, a Friday, so we can leave on a Thursday and sign on Friday, and i’d have to come back by train on Sunday. 11 hours train trip, excited? NOT!

The new job is going great. The academy is already working, we have our first few students, all the equipment, everyonealmost everyone is super nice, except this dickhead consultant that noone can stand, but we’re hoping they’ll give him the boot shortly, so it’s all good haha. I took some pictures of the academy before we had all the computers and stuff, so i’ll post some when i take new ones ok?

Shoes! We don’t have a strict dress code at work, but there are 2 things we can’t wear: jeans and trainers (sneakers?). So i’ve had to buy a few pair of shoes that i can wear there. Thank God flats are fashionable right now, because there are no way in hell i’d wear heels (i’m 6′ and clumsy, helloooooo)
These are the 3 pairs i’ve bought. Kinda cute, i’m not too fond on the grey and red ones, but i needed red shoes and that’s the cutest ones i could find.

Since i’m only doing 25 hours a week at the academy, i’m planning on getting a 15 h/w job in the evenings. I’ve got the number for a cool company that pays good per hour, a friend works with them and she’s pretty happy, so i’ll call them and see if i can start by July.
No summer holidays for me this year, i’ve got my holidays on November and i’m planning on going down south to visit my bff. We’ll see.
