As a bum, aside from regularly checking on websites and waiting for companies to call, I have to find something to do to keep me busy. Now that shows are on break, I have found an alternative which is to read!I've always loved reading pocketbooks and I haven't been able to read a lot since I don't spend a lot on books and so I figured I would start downloading e-books or pdf files of books I'm interested to read. I've downloaded around ten books this past two weeks.. I created this blog to make a checklist.

(X) I Am Number Four
(X) Elixir
(X) Percy Jackson books 1-5
() The Perks of Being a Wallflower
() The Lost Hero
() The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd 1-5
() Beastly
() The Children of the Red King 1-7

That's all the ones I downloaded so far. I'm currently reading "The Perks...". If I don't get tired, I should probably finish it by tonight. I'm starting off with books that has movie adaptrations and some books that I find interesting. I figured I have a fascination for fantasy books. I'm thinking of adding The Chronicles of Narnia series or Artemis Fowl to the list if I find pdf files of the books.

If only reading books could earn me some cash. I'm still eagerly waiting for a job to land on my hands. I've applied to 14 companies so far.

In other news, I had my first visit to the dermatologist the other day. I was only supposed to accompany my mom but I decided to have the pimple on my nose checked which has been bugging me since last week. I was scared at first especially because of the injection but in the end, it turned out fine.

Finding a job is so frustrating. Now I feel what my friends felt when they were looking for their first job. I had it quite easy since I immediately got mine after a friend offered it to me. So now that I'm doing it on my own, I feel s clueless. I sent my resumes to different companies and I only got two responses, one of them telling me to apply via walk-in while the other one is rejection. To make it worse, those two companies are not really the ones I really want.

This morning when my mom arrived home from her flight to the US, she told me that a former senator was her passenger and when he inquired about her having kids and finding out I was unemployed, he told my mom if I wanted to go to Spain(or Mexico) to study Spanish! I thought it was going to be for a job but just to study the language. It was a nice thought since I'd get to travel and learn a new language but I'm afraid that it's just going to be another excuse of not getting a job. My passport is expired anyway but maybe I should consider it.

In other news, time flies so fast that it's my younger siblings' farewell party tomorrow which means it's their last day of school and they're gonna be at home most of the summer and internet's gonna be slow for the whole day. That would mean slower downloads and streams for me.

Lastly, my heart goes out to Japan. It is saddening to hear the horrific tragedies they have experienced in just a short span of time and reading some sad stories really makes me feel how much they have suffered. Let's all pray for the country and to the entire world.

After 4 years, another great show has come to an end. I'm so sad that Greek is now ending.I remember watching this back in college after being recommended by my blockmate. The dvd I bought didn't even work on my previous dvd player so I had to borrow my mom's dvd player just to watch the entire season 1 and 2.

It is seriously one of the best teen shows I've seen where characters actually grow and change and doesn't just pass along partners to every other cast. I can't believe I kinda thought about stopping to watch the show and I'm glad it didn't.

It is sad to see the KTT house be destroyed. So may great memories in that house. Also glad to find out Cappie's real name, Dale and Laura hooking up, Rebecca, being a character to love and hate at the same time, but more on love, Rusty and Ashleigh in each other's arms,etc. There's just so many things this show has to offer and it's sad they can't continue anymore.

In other news, I've been sending out my resumes to different companies, even signed up on jobstreet, which I'm surprised that I already have an account and I don't remember signing up last year. Unfortunately, no one has responded yet. It's getting frustrating.:( I really hope that I'll find the right job for me ASAP.
