So today apparently is free premium membership day. Apparently we're allowed to use journal skins and take advantage of no advertisements... among other things. Hence the reason for this journal entry. ^_^; Life has been fairly good as of late. I had my first wedding job on the 5th. It was such a chaotic experience, but totally worth all the pain and suffering. I'm going to be very lazy and copy and paste my status from FB to here. It's basically the highlights of my Sunday wedding adventure:

~Being blown away by the beauty of the venue. A PERFECT view of the San Diego Bay.
~Marriott staff taught me how to properly lay a tablecloth the old school way.
~Planner and staff butting heads with me in the middle.
~I stayed at reception area instead of going to the church because the bride was late, which in turn made the planner late, which in turn didn't give us enough time to set up initially.
~Planner left her phone and the "Just Married" car decorations with me by accident.
~Panic because the bride made escort cards, but didn't put any table numbers on them... so we had people's names on pretty water color paper, but no idea where people were sitting... and the staff asking me wtf to do because now they have no idea how to get the right food to the right person... Yeah. tldr: I had to stand next to the table and tell guests to sit where ever they want.
~I had to decorate entire space on my own with no idea of the vision.
~Had to cut and water succulents... meaning transfer water from a 5 gallon jug into vases with itty bitty holes. @_@;
~Had to display family heirloom antique fine china. (No pressure. OnO;)
~Worrying about all the decorations being blown in the ridiculous wind... and losing 2 glass vases in the process.
~Constantly looking for hiding places for all the boxes and junk.
~Planner rearranged everything I put together because the design isn't what she had in mind.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
~My injuries/grievances consisted of: Muddy shoes, cut finger from broken glass vase, burned fingers from lighting candles, swollen and blistered feet from being on them all day, hunger and dehydration. Though I did drink up like 5 water bottles. And stressed out since I couldn't get in touch with the planner, and dealing with late vendors. Oh and not being able to buy a drink before I left. Hahaha~
~Drunk Uncle Joe Schmo yappin' up a storm with me and the planner and getting somewhat touchy feely. D:
~Guest mistaking me for being Latina and speaking Spanish with me.
~Staff thinking because I'm Filipino I can speak Tagalog.
~The bride and the groom as they made their grand entrance. They were a stunning couple. So happy and all smiles. A perfect sight to see before I left. Everything was worth it.

I now know what to expect and the work I have to put into this. Today was very fulfilling despite the hiccups that happened. It was definitely a day where I can look back and think, "I am so happy I got into this profession."

So the next step will be apply what I learned to my next upcoming wedding in October. I hope I don't make the same mistakes my planner boss did last Sunday. This time around I will be more prepared.

All right, totally doing this the lazy way as I procrastinate doing homework. Whatever I can to to maximize my procrastination. Bad, I know. But for some reason I've been on a Bleach kick because the anime ended... so I guess I'm doing this to stop whiny sobbing as well. That anime better be picked up again. <A<;

IT'S THE 30 DAY BLEACH CHALLENGE!!!
1. Your favorite character
:iconyayorihimeplz: Orihime Inoue. I have so many feelings about her awesome character.

2. Your least favorite character:
Yammy. Hate his guts, he's annoying, conceited, arrogant, ugly, evil, etc. For the good guys Marechiyo Ōmaeda. I hate his personality. He sucks. Oh and non canon, I disliked Nozomi and Kageroza. Uggghhhh

3. Character you'd date:
Normally, I'd say Ichigo, but I'd never want to take him away from Orihime... so I guess :iconishidaplz: Uryuu. He's snarky, but adorable too.

4. Character you'd like to go shopping with:
:iconrangikuplz: Rangiku Matsumoto. She and I would hit it off. I'm sure of this.

5. Character you'd like as your child:
:iconururuplz: Uh... I guess Ururu because she's meek and mild tempered, but when she kicks ass, SHE KICKS ASS.

6. Character who would probably be your rival:
...Huh... that's actually really tough. Probably Chizuru or Tatsuki for wanting to be really good friends with Orihime? That's a weird question.

7. Character you have most in common with:
I want to say Orihime or Unohana, but I'll go with Yuzu Kurosaki. I cook and clean the house, I have a brother, there have been some dark times in my life, but I'm trying to over come it. I feel like I'm pretty unaware about important things that happen around me, and I'm still waiting for my life to really begin.

8. Character you look like the most:
:iconunohanaplz: Unohana. I have long black hair that I was able to braid down to my back... it's much shorter now, but at least my hair was very much like her. I don't remember what her eye color is, but if it's brown, then I guess I'd look even more like her.

9. Character you'd bring home to your parents:
:iconpervyrukiaplz: Rukia. My mom would probably like chatting with her.

10. Character you'd never bring home to your parents:
LOL :iconkenpachiplz: Kenpachi Zaraki. Oh that would be a mess. (ノ ̄д ̄)ノ

11. Character you'd become best friends with:
:iconyayorihimeplz: Orihime.

12. Character with your favorite voice/seiyuu:
:iconpervyichigoplz: I love Masakazu Morita and Johnny Yong Bosh. Each voice is like sex for your ears. :giggle:

13. Character you'd go camping with:
:iconpervyrenjiplz: Renji. I think he'd be able to rough it in the wild pretty well... Maybe... Ok, maybe :iconnelplz: Nel instead since she's been out on the plains of Hueco Mundo for so long.

14. Character you wouldn't mind being roommates with:
:iconhinamoriplz: Hinamori. I dunno she seems like a good balance of laid back and responsible, so it would motivate me not to be a complete slob.

15. Character you'd want to cook for you:
Tessai. Because I know he knows how to cook. Or :iconpervybyakuyaplz: Byakuya because he'd order his chef to do it instead and it would probably be extravagant and traditional, which would be an experience I'd like.

16. Character you wouldn't mind prancing naked for you:
Pffft, this would be a long list. :iconpervyichigoplz: Ichigo, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Shinji, etc... Pretty much all the guys are hot in this series with the exception of a few. ^_^;

17. Character you'd want as your neighbor:
:iconrirukaplz: Riruka. Her house would be full of cute items.

18. Character you wouldn't mind having as a parent:
Mmm... :iconunohanaplz: & :iconukitakeplz: Unohana and Juushiro Ukitake. They both have a parental/caring mentality already, so it would make me happy.

19. Character you'd like to go karaoke with:
:iconuraharaplz: Kisuke Urahara. I dunno, he just seems like so much fun.

20. Character you wouldn't mind having as your butler/maid:
:iconsadoplz: Chad. :lmao: He'd probably do what I want without much complaint. He'd be able to protect me, and be a great friend at the same time.

21. Character you'd have in your party if you were in a RPG:
:iconyoruichiplz: Yoruichi Shihōin. She is powerful, kicks ass, fast reflexes, strategist, etc...

22. Character you'd want as a brother/sister:
For a brother, I think it would be cool to have :iconhisagiplz: Shuuhei Hisagi. I like the idea of an older brother who tried his hardest in whatever he throws himself into. Good work ethic and a good heart. For a sister, I think Lisa Yadōmaru. I don't know if she'd be a good sister, but at least she'd be someone I wouldn't mind looking up to.

23. Your favorite character of the opposite gender of #1:
:iconpervyichigoplz: Ichigo of course.

24. Character with your favorite uniform/outfit:
Uh there isn't much to choose from. I guess :iconsoifonplz: Soi Fon because she just looks cool in her stealthy uniform.

25. Character who would be your band-mate if you were in a band:
Uhh... Do any of them besides Chad and Hisagi even play an instrument? LOL. ProbablyYukio because he'd be able to autotune my awful voice through a video game. XD

26. Character you wouldn't mind having as your boss:
Ikumi Unagiya. She seemed pretty lenient with Ichigo when he was going through stuff... and reliable as well, so I think she'd be a good boss... as long as I actually do my work and try my best.

27. Character you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley:
:iconpervyaizenplz: Aizen, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, or Szayel Aporro Granz. They all creep me out. OnO;

28. Character you'd want personified into a dog:
:iconhanataroplz: Hanatarō Yamada. OMG he'd be the cutest and clumsiest puppy ever. And that would make him that much more adorable... but when I'd really need him he'd be there for me.

29. Character you'd want personified into a cat (try not to pic yoruichi):
:iconpervyginplz: Gin Ichimaru. He'd be sly as a fox and play little cat games... possibly plot evil things, and observe the human race, but couldn't really do anything about it because he's a cat... oh and secretly have his heart belong to a neko Matsumoto, but never show that soft cuddly side to her because he'd roam the alley ways separating himself to protect her from afar. OMG stop me now~

30. Character you'd want to cosplay as:
Eh...There isn't really anyone I'd want to cosplay as... I guess Orihime? Meh.

Ok, now I really gotta get back to work. Fuuuuuuu

I get drunk and drag Gray to bed.

--
  8.) 10 is playing with Barbie Dolls. 1 walks in and then out quietly. Later, 1 returns with 6 and 8. What are their reactions?
Loke is playing with Barbie Dolls. (HAHAHA) Orihime walks in and out... returns with Spain and me.

Spain gets dizzy and passes out. If I'm drunk what happens.

--
15.) 2 gets dizzy and passes out. If 8 and 6 are drunk, what happens?
Ichigo gets dizzy and passes out. If Spain and I are drunk what happens?
Well I would most likely force Spain to cuddle with me, so I'd call Orihime, and have her dress up like a nurse and tend to Ichigo. :iconblshplz:

--

My version: vocaroo.com/?media=vgA2kQ46QeO…

All right so I did the accent meme. My microphone was derping, so there are times when it cuts off randomly. Don't mind it. Here's what's being asked:

Here's the idea: record yourself saying the following things and answering the following questions. Then compare your accent with your friends. Fun for all!

Questions:

Your name and/or username

Where you're from

The following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, Direction, Naturally, Aluminium, Herbs.

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house? [on the night before Halloween?]

What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?

What do you call gym shoes?

What do you say to address a group of people?

What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?

What do you call your grandparents?

What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?

What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?

What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

And here is my derptastic Chibitalia version of it: vocaroo.com/?media=vQmU0wVMrCe… :iconchibitaliaplz:

GAHHH I AM SO DERPY! :iconderpyhoovesplz:
