Happy Thursday!

~I attended a Board of Pharmacy meeting in Portland yesterday, and it was quite boring ^^;; But hey, at least I didn't have to be at work ^^;;

~I spent quite a bit of money doing some online shopping ^^;; I registered myself & sis for Kumoricon, bought Full Metal Panic season 1 DVD thin pack, and bought 3 manga & 1 novel from Amazon. Ah yes, I also had to pay off my very icky speeding ticket from last weekend. *feels poor, very poor*

~How can a person battle with the garden hose??? Well, I did (>_<) Mum told me to feed her plants while they were gone -- which is usually my dad's job. Well, I TRIED to...but the hose was being UNcooperative!!! Argh! It was...difficult because I encountered numerous kinks, and leaks, and being too short, and then...the hose was covered in nasty stuff. *sigh* And then...I suddenly felt sad & missed my family very much ^^;;

~Ah well! I shall return tomorrow for visits *^_^*

:::Quickies:::
~I watched Grave of the Fireflies a few days ago�it was so sad ^^;;

~My supposed trip to Yellow Stone National Park this weekend was cancelled. Cowards!!!

~I STILL have Friday off from work, so I shall relax & be happy *^_^* And�perhaps drive off to visit a few friends from school.

~I discovered that a friend from pharmacy school is doing a temporary internship at the hospital where I work�so now I won�t feel alone�because my friend is there, too!

~Well, my family is now gone. They�ve all left for their 3-week trip to Asia. *sighs* I dislike being left out ^^;; Ah well! Life goes on, I suppose.

~I know that I haven�t been visiting y�all as often. My apologies. BUT, I shall try to do so this Friday once my week has calmed *^_^* So, until then, I wish you all a wonderful week!

*hugs*

Monkey Orange Goes to the Resort
Yep, I am currently at a very nice resort & spa thanks to my aunt who is ALSO there for a law conference *^_^*

Mmm...spa, swimming, tennis, and...ummm...other resort stuff, I guess ^^;;

The worst part was driving there on Friday [yesterday]. I was actually notified of the trip at 5:00pm, got off work at 6:00pm, left town at 7:00pm with my sis/bro & 2 cousins, drove for over 3 hours in pitch darkness & through the mountains/woods *_* PLUS, I got a speeding ticket (>_<)

*sighs*

All I can say is...this better be a good weekend!

*shakes her fist in the air*

Arggggh!

::A Fun Weekend::
~Friday: Our family went out for some yummy gelato in the evening � which is Italian ice cream, pretty much. The pistachio is VERY good, and the white chocolate raspberry too! Mmm�

~Saturday: We went to Uwajimaya, a Japanese grocery store that also houses the Kinokuniya bookstore, where my sister and I spent an hour looking at stuff. Then, we went to Sushi Land -- a very cute sushi bar that serves sushi on a conveyor belt. Lastly, went stopped by the outlet mall where I did some good shopping. *^_^*

~Sunday: I received several phone calls from my friends � ahh, to be loved! Later that day, our family went over to my grandparent�s place to celebrate my grandpa�s & baby cousin�s joint birthday party. It was quite fun!

::Monkey Orange & Road Trip::
Yes, yes. Although I will not be able to accompany my family on their trip to Asia, I will STILL be able to at least go somewhere. Remember when I mentioned above that my friends called me on Sunday?

Well, one of them invited me to go on a mini-road trip to Yellowstone National Park. He said that there may be a group of about 10-15 of us who will rent a big van, and drive over to Wyoming. �Get Friday off!� he said. And�I DID!!! I emailed my manager dude and he gave me the day off! Hehe�I also sneaked in another day �off� [which he also approved] so that I can go visit my other friend later in August. Yay!!! And now my 3 weeks alone�won�t be SO alone ^^;;

::Life at the Pharmacy::
Well, this is my last week working in Outpatient before I rotate to Inpatient. Even though I prefer working in Outpatient, I also sometimes get tired of it. ^^;; And yesterday, Monday, was INSANE. First, Mondays are always crazy-busy, PLUS I was the only Intern present that day ^^;; Sure, the technicians helped me out, but still�the craziness. Yeah�I�ll be the only Intern present this week, save for Wednesday, so�I don�t think that it�ll be a very pleasant �last� week ^^;;.

::And in the End::
By having talked with my friends, I felt a bit better about myself because I wasn�t the only one struggling with frustration during my internship ^^;; There are others, too *^_^* Yeah�we should, like, form a support group. LOL!!!

Anywho, I would also like to say THANK YOU to the Mouse because I received his goodie in the mail *hugs* The music is awesome!!! *^_^*

Lastly, I shall visit y�all tomorrow for proper updates AFTER my exhausting tennis class.

Have a wonderful day!!!

::Yakitate! Japan::
I love pastries! Perhaps that's one of the reasons why I enjoy watcing this show -- NOT! I like watching this series because it's FUNNY! Just imagine: Take Iron Chef and combine that show with...Naruto or Prince of Tennis or even Dragon Ball Z, AND you've got Yakitate! Japan. Bread battles...bread-tasting facial reactions...all TOO funny!!!

*ahem*

Believe it or not, I'm actually in a pretty good mood today. *grins*

::Work::
Work on Friday [yesterday] was insane because I was the FRONT person who recieved and logged orders from the patients. Since I'm still new at it, I was quite confused & slow ^^;; I think I spent more time asking questions than actually logging the orders
^^;; Eh. Aside from that, I really enjoyed working my colleagues because they were really nice -- yay! Thus, I was happier as I left for home. Sadly, 'happy' work days like those are rare for me ^^;;

::Anime Purchase::
I have decided NOT to purchase Hellsing now because it's quite expensive. Instead, I think I shall purchase Full Metal Panic season one because the thin packs was newly released -- and quite cheap compared to the standard box set *^_^* Have you guys watched FMP before? I haven't ^^;;

::Visit Campus::
I've been feeing insecure without my textbooks and classnotes with me, so I drove down to campus to retieve most of them. Yes, I'm a dork. But you know what? I think that I'm doing this mainly to set my worries at ease. Will I actually study them? Who knows... ^^;;

::Weekend::
I think I will have a GOOD weekend this time around *^_^* It feels good to NOT be cooped at home, you know? I am a wanderer...I need movement & dynamics *^_^*

::All in All::
Thank you, guys, for still coming to visit me. *^_^* And...for listening. *big hugs* Although I will be a bit busy this weekend, I shall try my best to visit y'all! It's the least I can do!

*^_^*

Can you believe that August is right around the corner!?! Insane, isn�t it? School starts in TWO months for me ^^;; But then again, I kind of miss school ^^;; I figured that since this summer already sucks, then why not just dive back into school ^^;;

Work: Blah. Need to study, but too lazy�which is very bad.
Family: Blah. They be ditching me soon.
Anime: Blah. Not much time to watch.

*sighs*

Have you noticed???

It�s kinda strange, but for the last few days when I visited my OWN site, here, I noticed that the advertisements near the top of my page were related to pharmacy. Strange. Do I really talk THAT much about pharmacy? ^^;;

Anyhow sadly, I didn�t get to do ALL the things that I listed on my last post ^^;; My weekend was very laidback and quite uneventful.

The worst part was most likely when I watched One Piece dubbed. *cringes* Dude, this show has simply been edited to DEATH!!! My bro caught and episode on Saturday and told me that Smoker�s cigar is edited OUT, so therefore he has smoke just RANDOMLY coming from his mouth (>_<) Also, some how the rockets that Don Krieg launched at Luffy ended up being suction cups that almost killed him. *shakes her head in disapproval*

Despite all those annoyances mentioned above, there were also several highlights that made my weekend not SO disappointing *^_^*

~I took the siblings to watch Charlie & the Chocolate Factory -- which was�interesting, to say the least *^_^* I just think that Willy Wonka, as a character, is simply fascinating. The Oompa Loompas, on the other hand, have always been kinda strange.

~I have decided what my next anime DVD purchase will be: Hellsing. What can I say? For some reason, I�m suddenly in a dark, violent, and gothic mood ^^; Hmm�I wonder why?

~I also got to chat with the Mouse for the first time *^_^* Although�I think that I might have chatted a bit too much ^^;; LOL!!!

~Anywho, if you guys would also like to chat with me, then just PM me and we can trade screen names *^_^*

And I think that�s about it for now. Well, it�s back to the workweek!!!

*hugs*

>>> Gonna finish reading my novel and 3 manga this weekend!

>>> Gonna study more pharmacy stuff this weekend!

>>> Gonna watch more anime this weekend!

Yep, that's all folk! Have a wonderful weekend!

Peace

Hello friends, I hope that you are doing well today *^_^* As for me, I guess that you can say I�ve been doing well too!

=Work=
Slowly, it gets better ^^;; I learned how to enter prescriptions into the computer system; I answered a phone-in question regarding drug information; I am counseling patients more often. But you know what? I still need to brush up on extra info to be on top of my game. Which means�studying *gasp* Nah! I�ll just look over some info *^_^* Hmm�also�do I smell�payday?

=Tennis=
Enjoying. Of course, it�s always nice seeing my �cute� instructor, too *^_^* But yes, I think that I�m really getting into this sport, in a lazy way, even though I�m still pretty bad. Eh.

=Purchase=
My Kumogoro plushie came in the mail on Tuesday *^_^* What is it? Well, if you�ve seen Gravitation, or read it, then you should know. If you haven�t, then�it�s pretty much described as a pink bunny with a red bow tie *^_^* Very cute! I also have some manga that should be arriving soon � muchos thanks to the Mouse *^_^*

=Old Men Talk=
Yes. It�s been weird overhearing the old pharmacist dudes at my work converse about their �old man� issues, like hip problems and sigmoidoscopies. ^^;; I feel a bit out-of-placed, you know?

Well peeps, life is still busy, so I probably won�t be able to do proper visits until tomorrow, or so ^^;; Gomen!!! But until then, have a great day!

*hugs*

Blah

Hi everyone! How are y�all doing today? As for myself, I�m doing alright so far *^_^* My weekend was very nice & relaxing. *^_^*

Gifts from Afar
Yep, my bro & sis came back home from their orchestral competition in Vienna, Austria. AND�they got first place for best chamber orchestra!!! I am SO proud of my little buttheads *^_^* Man, I wish I could�ve been there too! Ah welll!!! Anywho, they brought back gifts for the family and themselves � most notably are the chocolates, sunglasses, and shoes. *^_^* Hehe, my sis bought me a cute handbag from Venice, and I took it to work yesterday *^_^* Lucky, kids.

Being Ditched
Yes, the abandonment. It�s not really that they INTENDED to abandon me�it�s just that I couldn�t get the time off from my new job. You know, 3 weeks is quite a long time to take off from a new job ^^;; Anywho, for those of you who asked, my family [minus me] will be going to spend 1 week in China & 2 weeks in Vietnam. Man�it sucks that I can�t go, but then again�I guess staying home and making money is�okay. I just don�t like being totally alone, you know. The least the could�ve done was to leave behind one of my siblings to keep me company ^^;; But then, that wouldn�t be fair to them ^^;; Hey! They ALREADY went to Europe, man! ^^;;

Work
Life in the Outpatient pharmacy on Monday was STRANGELY calm�for a Monday! Well�I�m NOT complaining. ^^;; I like things clam *^_^* But yes, it was good seeing the old crew today *^_^* I definitely feel more comfortable in outpatient than in Inpatient/IV ^^;; Ah yes! I got to do ONE counseling today � yay! I shall attempt to do some more tomorrow! Yep, I gotta keep practicing!

Anime
Retired
I have decided to retire Tsubasa Chronicles and Meine Liebe from my collection of fansubs. To be honest, both of these shows are slow in development � especially for Tsubasa. At 15 episodes, I�d like to be able to notice a more deeper storyline, rather than �Let�s travel to this world, get the feather, and move on�� Well�is that it? I need more to work with, man ^^;; The same goes for .Meine Liebe -- which is just�slow & a bit boring ^^;;

New Love
I finished downloading Yakitate!!! Japan and watched the first 3 episodes. Oh my gosh!!! This is quite some funny stuff � especially THOSE facial expressions! LOL!!! I recommend y�all to try out this show! Funny, funny, funny!!! And a bit silly, but still good. If you want more information regarding this show, then please read this article & tell me what you think!
