The event was quite a success and my co-host was crazy, so it was all good last Saturday. After the event we had lounge of our own and just chatted away with some friends. One thing I love about parties is that you get to meet new people. New and interesting people. Which means you got new connections, which means it will be easier for you to get gigs or get into clubs without having to pay. For some reason, I'm starting to believe the saying:

"It's not what you know, it's who you know"

My friend and I are planning to hit the beach this weekend and finally surf. It's been almost a year since I've gone surfing and I'm not surprised if I don't get to stand on the board anymore. Darn it. My friend's selling this brand new long board for a very very reasonable price. Now I'm thinking, how do I get Pops to buy that board? He's been talking about boards anyway. Fingers Crossed. I have an offer in mind. Hopefully he bites. haha

So, I got two weeks to step up my game  and show them I'm good enough or I'm out of the station since a lot are applying for the job. I got two things in mind:

1. "You guys suck, your training sucks, I just lost my interest in your company"

2. "I'll prove you wrong"

Now of course I'm leaning towards the second option, but the question is, what if I don't?

I just experienced the best PEE of my life. I've decided to celebrate every little good thing that happens to me. I think it makes you more happy and optimistic.

I had to drive my mum to some seminar earlier today and got stuck in really bad traffic going there. Then, I felt the urge to hit the bathroom. Only problem was there wasn't any gas station in sight. Realizing it was caffeinated (pee), I knew I wouldn't be able to hold it in. but I DID. For an hour and 30 minutes, I was singing to my iPod, pressing on the breaks and gas so hard just to hold it all in. It was horrible. My head starting to hurt *I don't know if that's connected somehow* and I had to GO so BAD.

I was resorting to two things:

1) Pee on the bottle that was at the back seat of the car and take the shame of people seeing me do it *tint-less car*

2) Take the risk of getting caught by the police and being cursed at by motorists by pulling at the side of the road and going behind the bushes.

I didn't have the guts to do both. Once we got to the place the guard was letting us wait for a car to park before letting us in * and it was a spacious area, so i really didnt get the point of that* but I had to go that I honked at him and yelled, " Sir! I really really really need to PEE!" Funny thing was he said " Sorry" and let me in right away.

I rushed into the corporate office and looked for the bathroom.

Best pee of my life.

So I got to talk with the Station Manager this afternoon about my performance. He said I needed to work on my ad libs, make it "nice and sweet" or "nice and meaty". He'll give me two weeks to improve on it and if I don't, it's goodbye! Of course I didn't take it as hard as most people would because, I realized, if it really is for me, then good! If it's not, there are always other jobs. Afterall I'm only 21. It's all about learning in this stage of my life. Wasn't it all about learning in college and high school too? Oh in the "real world". That's right.

Of course I've got a lot of things that I would want to try out IF I don't get the thumbs up from the station. There's using my Marketing Management degree in some record label or music company, focusing on my jewelry business and try to make it big, and of course the last option: the corporate world. Which I will try with all my might to avoid.

The event I'll be hosting's tomorrow and I'm quite nervous but at the same time excited because I love trying out things for the first time and pulling it off gracefully. Wish me luck!

So our station's hosting the Christmas party and since the theme's Disney, we're doing Peter Pan.

I love Peter Pan. I had a childhood crush on him and I was secretly hating Tigerlily.

Unfortunately, they all voted that I be Tinker Bell and Scottie be Peter Pan (without me in the room). Sucks to be the new guys. Oh well!

While I was boarding this afternoon, I was able to chat with Kooky Tuason. She came in for the Christmas meeting and hung around later that day. I just found her so awesome pioneering Spoken Word and just doing what she loves to do, writing poetry, speaking what she writes and saying what's on her mind. That's probably the coolest job there is especially if you're into literature. She was so down to earth and there was just instant connection compared to the other jocks that I spoke with. She gave me some places I can watch their poetry reading and the dates as well. I can't wait! More things to do on my free time.

Also, I was talking with Patti, another jock, last week about doing Yoga since I've become the ulimate bum and my body needs the care it deserves, so this afternoon, she told me gave my name to Pulse Yoga and said that she took care of everything. Free Yoga?? How friggin' great can things get? I totally thank God for providing the class because my dad said it wasn't in the budget for me to do Yoga. It is quite expensive. But there you have it!

Kooky requested a song a while ago and I felll in love with it. You can pop it in your car especially when traffic's heavy or you can just play it in your room and groove yourself away. I can listen to this over and over.. for now that is. Do take a listen and let me know what you think :) I think it's flippin'.
