loving MIDORI

I'm really beginning to love Midori.

It is the nicest working place in Penha Longa so far, although the work is pretty much the same everyday, but teh guys are so cool!
even the supervisors and the boss.

Breakdown:

In service:
Boss: Acacio (we call him Chief Cacio)
Supervisors:
1. Jose (40 year old Portuguese, serious at times but funny when he ioking around w Mota, and v helpful, treat me like a daughter)
2. Mota (34 years old DAMN funny Portuguese, love to act gay, love to make robots sound and make funny British accent, he has damn big belly like pregnant woman, and he always show it around, he is q handsome without the belly actually.lol.he has 2 kids: 12 years and 1 year baby. today he carried me by the elbow like im only 20 kg or stg =.=)

Co-workers: Mahen and Suzanna ( called her Suze, one of the coolest girl that I can get along with)

In kitchen:
Boss: Joan Picanto (40 stg chef, love to teach me how to say the food in Japanese term, like to smile, and not one of the nasty-cant-stand-him kind of chef)

Co-workers:
1. Harnani (Portuguese, 20 stg, brunette, brown eyes, like to sing by himself, like to tickle me, give me food: Gyoza, rice cracker, tempura.... i think he is v fun guy, he looks like someone ive seen before but cant put my finger on it)
2. Joao (Portuguese, 24, more serious kind, but v nice, keep giving me food as well: ice cream tasted Midori and Violet: AHMAZINGG)
3. Will (I called him Chu chu, cos he is fat like a pig, lol, and he called me "Chuaaa", he said its like crying in japanese comics. lol)
4. Perdo (Portuguese chef, 28, looks v serious, but actually once I started to talk to him first he cant stop talking, ytd, when I just saw him the first time, he din even smile or say hi the whole day, when I wanted to go home, I said "Bye Harnani!" and he was beside Harnani, he turned around and he said "only say bye to Harnani??" w damn cheeky laugh. and today when he saw me coming in, he said to Harnani "Harnani, looks who's here!" and everybody laugh. =.=
5. Chiko (another chef, dont really talk to him.)

Well dats it so far, wad I like working there is dat, eventho when its busy ppl get stress, but usually wad they r trying to do is teach us as much as they can, and let us enjoy as well, motivate but not too burdened, and always at the end of teh day, we all gather at kitchen to eat wadever food that is not cooked for the guest but if left for tmr wont be fresh anymore, today we had :
Rice w stonebass soup (cooked by Chief Cacio)
Jap fried noodele w lobster cooked by Harnani
and beef tepanyaki by perdo

it so relaxed and enjoyable..like a family, everyody eat and laugh tgt...

I dont have dat kind of feeling when i work in other restaurant, especially not with Ardhe, of cos he said "eat wad u want" after we finish work, but the feeling is not the same.

And sometimes he is v nice w me, but other times he makes me stressful.

so for now, Midori is my fav! lol ~~

BB BB

MY BB IS ON!!!!

homophobic no more

I realise I am not a homophobic anymore.

I was before, I was very sceptical of them and I am very disgusted by them.

But when I met Jean-Marc, my Swiss german classmate, everything changed.

He was the most lovable guy I swear, and he is so funny, so smart and so entertaining.


He totally changed my perceptions and I am glad :)

ytd, one of my fren actually confessed that he feels different and he might be gay.
Problem is he is an Asian, and we know how conservative Asians are. Which really sucks.
I mean, I feel really sorry for him. U know what he said??

"I don't think i can let myself be gay. I am the only boy in my family, I dont want to disappoint them."

MANNN..seriously thats not his fault. Its not his fault that he doesnt get interested with girls..
Its not a choice, well it could be a choice, but really its from deep inside. its about ur feeling. and he asks me, "I wonder how homosexuals come about."

I wonder about that too. Is it genes? is it chromosomes? or what? is it something that science can explain?

He also asks me whether I ever had or think about dating or liking another girl.
for me, the answer is no. I dont get excited seeing girls naked, neither I think I will get a satisfying relationship with a girl. but thats for me.

and this whole thing about his homosexuality he said he felt it since 4 years ago but nbody knows because of the whole Asian perception thing. and the fact that he is afraid ppl wont accept him. But I told him, Jean Marc is gay but everybody treats him perfectly fine. they joke with him, talk to him normally stuffs like that.

I told him, he needs to accept it first, if he himself cant, and not comfortable w it, other ppl cant as well.

I also told him if his parents cant understand he should leave in america or europe.

its about his happiness.

I was really surprised he tell me this, but he nver tell his bestfriend (an Asian girl)
he said "cos u look like u are more open minded."
(if only he knows how i was like before. ask my sis. =x)

but i do admit I changed a lot, in terms of my perceptions and my way of life.
although not necessarily ALL are for the better. sometimes u need to learn from mistakes. :)

man in suit

I think I am really made to be in the hotel industry.


I JUST LOVEEEEEEEEE MAN IN SUIT. XD

the truth?

SIGHH...

Shelly is forcing me to tell Marion the truth.

The truth about why so many people dont like her.

because i confide in her how much i am getting more and more annoyed by her. mainly because she talks to me in skype EVERYDAY saying unnecessary things. fine, i know that i also talk unnecessary stuff with my friends, but with her its tiring and annoying. she complains mostly and sometimes when my response is plain "hahaha", she said "its not funny."

=.=

i dont enjoy having convo with her at all and as much as i can, i avoid replying her.

why is she talking to me so often??
cos she doesnt have any other frens!
the only 2 contacts in her skype is me and her mom.
so basically when her mom is not replying, i become the victim.

I think she has social issues.
she realise that she does some things that ppl dont like, but she said she cannot change it.

people only find her tolarable and funny for a short period of time. after that, they are glad that she is away from them.
gave u an example, this "good friend" of hers in new zealand, where she stayed 4 or 6 months before, they are writing each other emails. as time goes by, she writes longer and the fren writes shorter. she writes like 5 pages long of email, only to have her fren replied 5 sentences.

why cant she get the message??

shelly said since im her only fren in school, i should help her and tell her the truth.

but i swear i am so bad at doing that. >.<


Btw, changing topic, ytd i feel so bad to shelly.
she was soooooo drunk in the club but she keep asking "which drink makes u higher? which drink makes u very high? i want to drink i want to drink." when she is sooo wasted already.

so i tell her "how drunk do u wanna be?? so drunk that strangers can fuck you??no? so please stop drinking now."

GOSH.

it was harsh. but i had to do it, she couldnt understand much at that stage.

i apologized to her today >.<


u noe my sis once said, its so fun looking at people getting drunk. but its not my cup of tea. fine, yes they are more relaxed and ppl who are usually rigid can actually be fun, but beyond that, i gave up. marion and shelly's problem when they get drunk, they TALK NON-STOP.
I insist, NON STOP.some girls go lesbian and start kissing other girls.

and i think they are not the worst.

not gonna happen

okay seriously i cant stand her anymore.

me and her roomate next year?? NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

I am talking about Marion of course.

Man, she woke me up and come on, when u accidentally woke someone up from their nice undisturb sleep what shoud u do? apolgize and hang up, if u have some common sense.

her?

my phone rings *huuu..yea yea..no no...fuck what i said..it dont mean shit now..*
i picked up. her number on caller id.

me:"halo?"
she:"hey marion here. what time do we have to report back to school?"
me: (look at the clock. its 3.42 pm) "quarter to 5."
she:"but its now."
me:(look again at the clock. making sure its not my eye who is deceiving.)" no its only quarter to 4 now."
she:"ahh..ya I purposely wake u up an hour earlier to check if everything alright."
me:GRRRRR wtf ( of course i dont say it)
she:"did i wake u up?"
me:"yes."
she:"ah..so sorry.im sorry for this."
me:"ya..see you bye."
she:"okay im sorry for this."
me:"its okay.bye."
*hung up*

seriously i HATE being disturbed when i sleep, just look at the convo above there are few unnecessary sentences which if she cuts down i might still continue to sleep. but now i am too upset so I cant sleep anymore. Next year, if i continue to keep quiet and allow her to be my roommate i might kill her when she sleeps.

so i think to avoid me being a cold blooded killer, I am gonna live off campus next year.
Hopefully I will find one room. if not I share a house with shelly and jenny, which is 1000 times better of course. both options save money and prevent unwanted circumstances with me and marion.

i really neeed to find that house.

miss home

for the first time in the last 7 years, i miss home.
