B.F.G. ?

If you haven't read Roald Dahl's book "The Big Friendly Giant", you're missing out.

I had a dream about a giant. Well, a giant that greatly resembled fists of the Hulk. I never saw its face. It was chasing me. My sisters and I took its dog. No idea why we'd steal a dog when we already had one. I think we were rescuing it. The giant followed us home and lurked on the roof. Lucikly it didn't fall through our roof. My dad stepped outside to see if things were safe and the giant took him in its great fists. We gave back the dog but the giant wasn't satisfied.

I don't remember how the dream ended, but all I remember was the packing and hiding for dear life. Woke up thinking about the scary giants in "The B.F.G.", they lived on bitter melon which was hilarious.

Well I'm finally up now and Lewis should be, too! We're going to see "The Dark Knight" today! :)

Don't Be Nosy

Especially if you're a complete stranger. I met this woman at work that really bothered me. She walked into the office and right away demanded who I was. Here I am thinking, "I'm wearing a name tag, it says who I am and what I do in this facility. I have to get back to work." I politely answer her with brief answers; I'm working and needed to get stuff done. I thought she'd leave. She still wouldn't let the conversation drop and continues to ask where I worked before, who referred me, what I do besides working here, etc.

Back the hell up and ask my supervisor if you really want to know so bad. You're not even part of the main staff. f you were, I would have seen you around. Of course I didn't say that, but I let her talk until she was done. It wasn't the questions that irked me, it was her attitude. If she approached me like any other normal human being, I would have started a decent conversation. Too bad she acted otherwise.

Her last reaction pissed me off. She asked what I was majoring in and my answer made her frown a little, nod in fake respect, then walk away laughing. What is so funny about majoring in psychology? She starts up a conversation to one of my co-workers that came back to the room I was in. Both women were chattering away in Tagalog, obviously aware that I couldn't understand them. I realized the woman mentioned me and later my studies at school in English and they both laughed hilariously over it. I got really annoyed. It was extremely rude. Who the hell mocks you in front of your face like that? Definitely didn't make my day go any better or faster.

On a lighter note, I'm currently hunting for new restaurants or food to try. Let's keep it to anywhere near Fremont. Any suggestions?

Highlight At Work

Chit-chat in the break room during lunch is hilarious sometimes.

Nurse #1: We need to watch out for these rooms, Mr. A and Mrs. B have a new habit now...
Nurse #2: What's that?
Nurse #1: Well the other day I was taking Mr. C and his family for a walk in our garden and I look over to Mr. A's room, and you know how he's a really big man. He was completely in the nude. Au naturale, no clothes, nothing.
Nurse #3: That's exactly like Mrs. B. Miss I-don't-care-if-my-boobies-are-hanging-all-over-the- place. She just sits there on her bed waiting for the nurses to come in and she's all ready to get loose. And her room is like a few rooms down from Mr. A's! Our guests need to be warned or else they're all going to get free shows.
Nurse #2: You know it's funny cause those two hang out sometimes...you don't think...

(Everyone bursts out laughing)

It's Too Darn Hot

Outside. It's burning nearly 100 degrees outside and it makes me miss fall and winter. I realize I haven't been posting as much, I've kept busy. Here the things I did in a nutshell:

JUNE
16- Sister's graduation (from 8th grade)
19- Spent the day with Lewis in SF and dinner later with Gabe, Kitty, & Allyson (we dressed up!)
22- Brunch with Lewis, Kitty, & Allyson, Ingrid Michaelson concert @ Golden Gate Park, met up with Gabe; ended up seeing Lifehouse instead, ran into Jennifer & (her) Gabe
23- Started working at the nursing and rehab center
26- Played with computers and Honnie with Lewis

JULY
1- Explored Lake Chabot with Lewis
3- Hung out with Anum and Jennifer
8- Watched "Wall-E" with Lewis

I'm working in between those days that I do go and have a social life. It's not so bad, I know that I officially handle billing and medical records though. Well, I help process paperwork. Tedious, but it feeds the minor OCD. The residents are nice, some crazy, few scary. I'm getting to know most of the staff around the place, everyone's super nice so it's one up from my job at school. I just wish our office had a window or something, I work in a closet. And it tends to have odd smells throughout the day.

Finally got to watch "Wall-E" today! I have to admit, Pixar didn't make it so cutesy, it was the type of humor that I think the older crowd would understand. The plot made you fear for America, let's just put it at that. The "Green and Healthy" movement should have started years ago. I'll op for fruits and veggies. Mmm, anyone up for Sweet Tomatoes?

So for those who have asked me how my summer's been going, I'll say it's been, well there isn't one word for it. It's been busy for one, slightly hectic, fun, but also stressful. I miss school for the freedom, but I love home for the people I get to be around, the ones that don't drive me bonkers and up the wall of course. I do hope I get to see the rest of my family and accomplish some other places I'd like to visit with friends. All in all, so far, summer has been starting off like it should be. My plan was to keep busy and I am. Although if winter and summer break were to ever switch their lengths in vacation time, I'd vote for it.

P.S. I can only fit a 24 for bikes. Not even adult size.
