My life as of lately.
I haven't written a real entry in a while. The last one I wrote was mostly to vent because of some drama that has been happening. Anyway, here's an update about my life lately:
My family and I moved a few weeks ago, out of the house and back into an apartment, and not just any apartment, an apartment in a not so pretty apartment complex on a very hot and busy/crowded boulevard. *sighs* People in the neighborhood where the house was were such racists, and even the landlords, can't believe people still get away with crap like that. Oh well, God will provide a better place for us. Plus, there are some perks to living on Federal Boulevard; It's a very ethnic street and there's TONS of hispanic, vietnamese, chinese restaurants. Plus, there's two boba smoothie places within a few blocks! Mmm boba drinks are sooo good. Ooh and there's a 24 hour drive thru mexican place that serves AMAZING burritos a few blocks from here.
I got a job! YES! *Victory dance* I was hired at Chik-Fil-A, I'm going to be a cashier. I'm training all this week. It seems like a pretty fun place to work, all the people and managers are nice, and it's suprisingly Christian. Pretty much all the managers there are christian, a lot of the employees are christian (not mandatory haha) and even the Chik-Fil-A owners are christian. Their mission statement actually mentions glorifying God and it's closed on sundays. Yay, fits me perfectly! I don't have to worry about working sundays anymore, yay. Plus, I get a free meal every time I work a shift. Mmm, food. Thank God for my job, and thanks to people on here who kept me in their prayers.
Worship Team has been having major problems, literally backstabbing and gossip and just malice, it upsets me. Please pray for this. I am so sick of worrying about it and I'm leaving it in God's hands. Our second pianist is getting married this saturday and we're going to be playing at the wedding, still to glorify God though :).
I got a ticket in may because I was driving without insurance and I was sent to court, my court date was last thursday and I got a $500 fee for not having insurance. Ughhh, giant bummer. Oh well, at least I actually have a job to pay for it now.
I watched a really cool Japanese movie called Sakuran. It's about oiran, a young girl gets sold to a brothel and makes her way up the ranks and becomes the highest ranked oiran in yoshiwara. She battles love, bitter rivalry between the other courtesans, and the strict rules of the brothel/district she was sold to. The movie was made from a manga. I've read the manga and it was very interesting, it ended much differently than the movie though. Without giving too much away, the movie had a bit of a cliche ending and the manga had a bitter but more realistic ending. Both the manga and the movie are very recommended though!
I've started reading Memories of my Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, so far it's pretty good. The last Garcia Marquez book I read was Love in the Time of Cholera, and while I liked it I thought it was overrated.
Ooh, this Blindside song I'm listening to is very soothing.
Good night!
