I went for my 2nd interview at Raley’s yesterday; failed the personality test AGAIN. Mr. Peterson (I believe that’s his name) told me to run down to the computer in the store and redo the test real quick and come back up. I did just so and passed. Bad news was: he wasn’t hiring at that moment. He said he really want to see me back on the 28th. I’m going to keep trying. I don’t care if I’m going to work there during the school year; I just want this real bad for some reason.

Anyway moving on to other matters. Round 1 of Moonstruck challenge is coming to an end very soon. I would really appreciate it if you guys would participate. The prizes are awesome and the rules are quite simple. So what have you got to lose? Go join already! =D

I find myself bonding with the TV more than ever. Props to the inventors of moving pictures. However, this can’t be too good for my health’s sake. I’m not sure what to do anymore. After my second job interview for Raley’s on Monday, I’m going to see if I can join some volunteer group. It’ll give me something productive to do while earning community service hours for school.

My friends and I are going to go catch a movie tomorrow and light fireworks later in the evening. I’m excited. I haven’t lite fireworks since… ever really. I’ll take pictures. =D You girls have any plans for July 4th?

I was doing so well! The manager liked me but he said that I didn’t do so hot on my personality test so he couldn’t offer me the job. I really didn’t understand the personality test. They ask things like “Would you rather pick where you work or have co-workers who are easy to get along with?” I wanted both but it was just one or the other. Most questions were like that so I switched around too much I guess. *cries* I feel so bad. He told me to reapply and come back next week. He also said that he wasn’t really hiring… I’m not sure if that was just a test of commitment but I guess I’m coming back next Monday. *sigh* This is why it’s so hard to get a job.

After failing quite miserably I went to pick up some more applications. Most places didn’t have anymore applications; meaning many people are trying to find work just like I am and resulting as more competitions. Crappers. I didn’t think it was going to be that hard. I’m so jealous of the people who have jobs; I want a monthly salary too!

I only watched the last bit of the movie but I noticed in the description that it was based on a true story so I went and did a little research. The information I found was unbelievable.

Sylvia Marie Likens and her sister Jenny was dropped off at the home of Gertrude Baniszewski with her 7 kids to be taken care of. Gertrude Baniszewski and her kids began torturing Sylvia inhumanly when payments for her stay came late. It was said that Sylvia had taken countless blows to the head (some so severed that would cause she to pass out), she was burned, branded, hit, battered, and eventually killed. These torments were not only inflicted by the Baniszewski family but many children in the neighborhood (encouraged and approved by Gertrude Baniszewski) would take turns torturing her. Coy Hubbard, Gertrude’s daughter’s boyfriend also got his share of the torment. “Coy practiced judo on Sylvia, flipping her against walls and onto the floor.” When the police arrived at the scene of the dead girl’s body, Gertrude denied all participation in the crime.

Read the full story here.

I think this is the most horrific thing I’ve ever heard of! How can people be so fucken heartless. It’s just unbelievable. What is even more unbelievable is how light the punishments were on the killers and participants. Gertrude Baniszewski was charged with first degree murder and was put behind bars for 2 decades then released on parole. With the crime she committed, she should have been sent to the death penalty or at least life in prison without parole. Most of the charges for participants of the crime were dropped. Paula Baniszewski, one of the most vicious tormentor, was sent to jail but was released only a few years later. The rest were charged with manslaughter but only spent a 18 months behind bars. I seriously don’t understand how the justice system works in America. I think people who abuse their pets get worst sentences than what these shittie-ass people got. What the fuck? I really don’t get it. Actually, I think death is too light of a punishment for these people, it would be an escape. If it was up to me, I would want them to endure all the tortures Sylvia Likens did. I would have no sympathy for them what so ever. Arg. It seriously pisses me off seeing crimes like these go unpunished or barely punished. It’s just unfair.

I asked her what was wrong and she told me that one of her co-worker was being a total bitch to her. I knew exactly who she was talking about and it isn’t the first time that lady picked on my mom. My mom isn’t the type to argue or talk back so she usually turns the other cheek. I’m really pissed off for her after hearing all the crap that lady says about her. She would always input rude comments after everything my mom says. She also calls my mom stupid, which is really ridiculous because she’s the one who lacks proper education and classy human behaviors. I can not stand people who acts like that. I also can not stand how the boss is being so negligent about the situation. I’m really annoyed that I can’t do much about the situation right now but just wait, she’s going to be one sorry lady if she keeps this up. I will march in there and make the scene so big, our local news station is going to do a 1-hour special news coverage on it. Stupid #$&*%.

Don’t you just hate people like that? Ugh.

The contest site is up! CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK. Please support us by participating!

Each day is flying by so fast lately. Maybe it’s because I sleep in so late that the day seems to be cut short but still. Geez. I really need to get off my butt but the only thing that’s keeping me from picking up job applications is I don’t ever have a ride. My brother is staying in Davis to continue summer school and my dad is always working on some project for our backyard. Oii.

Rebecca: “does not need to work with greasy chicken” - that sounds like my co-workers are greasy chickens. lol
Thao - The nearest mall is too far away. I would just be working to pay off gas money. I wish I could work at a retail store so I get discounts.

I don’t have a lot of options in the jobs I’m going to get. I’ll try everywhere but KFC opened pretty recently so I have a higher chance of getting hired there, even if it’s going to suck. It’ll just be for the summer anyway. =] Thanks for the support guys.

I need to find something to do other than sitting here on the computer all day. Everything is so much easier said than done.

I’m currently working on a layout for Moonstruck, a contest site hosted by me and my hostess. I’m also planning to open a graphic request site to earn a little money; I’m not sure how that’s going to work out but it wouldn’t hurt trying.

After setting aside these two projects, I want to go apply for a job at a nearby Kfc/Long John Silver restaurant. Hopefully I get at job there because I really need the money. I want to buy a lot of new things (clothes) for the new school year. =D Well I’ll be back later!

Today is the last day of finals and it couldn’t have came any sooner.
I almost have a 4.0GPA but my 88.8% in my Pre-cal class piss me off. Since I’m not coming to school tomorrow I have to call in to see if I can somehow make up the 1.2% I need for an A. *cross fingers*

As for summer…
I want to find a job or at least do something productive over this summer. I don’t want to waste my summer pigging out and rotting. I was planning to take summer class at a nearby college but I took too long to turn in my applications so the deadline passed. Oh well… I’ll find something to do. What are your plans for the summer?

Anyway, sorry for being so inactive lately, but I’m back now! I’m going to host a contest very soon. I only have a rough idea of what it’s going to be about but I’ll update as soon as I can get it figured out. I’m planning to collaborate with Kieu so it’s going to be awesome! Stay tune!

I should go grab something to eat before starting on my Powerpoint for History. Contests or events of any sort will be postponed until finals are over with. toodles.
