Work

I have never really wrote about my job , have i? It's called "The Happiest Place on Earth" yes Walt Disney Word but i have to tell everyone the truth of this so called happy place, what happy place? this is non-exsistent. there is no happiness. Yes its true, as soon as you walk in the doors of any of the parks it does create an atmosphere of pure magic. The setting, the costumes, etc. but there is also the other side. first when you work here, you are never right. if a guest has a complaint, they are always right. if they yell at you and bad very bad things at you, you just have to smile. i am recently working at an ice cream store in the middle of Downtown Disney. I really like the place i work my only problem is the damn guest. fuckers wait 3 hours to get into a ride in the parks and they can't wait at least half an hour to get served their ice cream? i know this seem as a long time to wait for ice cream but you people have not been to our shop in the summer, the wait could well enough be 1 hour! we get so packed its not even funny. people complain about the most stupid things, my ice cream came in a dish, no shit what did they want us to do throw it at them. then they wait in the togo line after the casher tells the to sit down that EVERY thing will be sent out to them, and they say they are waiting for there cones..? people if you get htis logic please Help!!!! we told them it would ALL come out to them! oh this makes me so mad, but not as mad as every other guest coming up to pick up their order and asking "are your spoons clean?" oh my GOD! what do they think we do, i feel like saying no we keep the clean spoons in the back! stupid, stupid, stupid!. they see we are busy like crazy, if any of you don't believe me ejust drop in one day, and they complain we are taking to long and yet we have not had a moment to even breath, sometimes our breaks get pushed back, its so crazy! then you have myself feel like a mexican jumping bean because im trying to get everything going, seeing that evrything we need is done, doing refunds, hot chocolate, waffle cones, and the many other things i have to do. and once again i don't mind, i like my job but please the parents are worse then the kids, which is so sad to say. I know it is said that Disney is for kids of all ages but you don't have to take this literally!

La has left...sad face for me

WEll La has left the building, or rather the state. It's really weird but i really miss her. We had difficulty in speaking to eachother but rarely we still understound what we wanted to say. Sometimes it was just a stare, a glance or a smirk and i knew just what she wanted to say. It was so awsome! Well people, Thailand is very different to America. I know some of you will say Duh! but it was just so interesting to find out so much about a place i know nothing about. Did you know you don't greet men and women the same way? There is a different greeting for both genders. No normal hi for everyone. And they bow when they say hi and bye to you. this i knew because my friend Stellita does it also. Which let me say made me miss Stella a LOT! Also, lets just say that i have a difficult time trying to find a place for my boobies, and i am not speaking of my friends this time, the girls are just out there sometimes, i mean what can you do with some DD anyways i was wearing a V cut shirt and she was like oh my God! She said that in Thailand that would be disrespectful and her parents would have killed her. Lets just thank God she never went to a club with me i think she would have had a heart attack! And they don't wear shorts! how do they live!!!!!! Another thing, which i kind of found very weird is that she indicated to me that you can't hold hands of kiss with your boyfriend in public. Your family has to be present, for any type of cuddling or touching of couples, and i just mean cuddling people! We where in my car waiting for a green light. When the light changed the car in front of us didn't move because the couple was kissing, this mad her blush and a tomato looked pale next to her. It was very interesting to see all of the differences in our cultures. Oh and let me say she loved American TV but she couldn't grasp the concept of kissing someone you just met or F@#k buddies. It was all wrong and she could just say NO and shake her head! America the land of the free!!!! HaHa what an adventure for La.
So im sad she has let. i didn't even get to say goodbye. She left at 5am and no one woke me up...sad face for me :( when i work up and went to the bathroom i found a little note saying "i miss you...LA" Oh my God that broke my heart! she had just said to me the day before that she didn't want to leave because she didn't know anyone in Seattle and i was her only friend in America. *Sticking a dagger in my heart* And i told her we would try and keep in touch. We did make a promise to each other that when she goes back to Thailand in two years, i am to go with her. Oh well the La saga is over for now...stay tuned for more to come.

the simple things in life...

i swear, have you ever looked at a snow globe in total amazement? or looked at a drive t. as if it was the most wonderful thing in the world? i have been learning a lot these few days. especially about how its the little things in life that make life worth living. La is still staying at my house. i was tired of seeing her in the houde just being sad and staying in the room. so two days ago i woke up early and decided i was going to take her to the Disney's Boardwalk, Downtown Disney and the Swan and Dolphine Hotel. Oh my God she was ready in 10 min. I had bought her a Mickey jacket, a Mickey snow globe, and a Mickey stuffed animal. So i gave them to her. she was so happy!!! she put the sweater on and we headed to the caar. when we where seated in the car i realized that she had the snow globe in her hand and was looking at it as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world! she said to me "my heart very happy" it made me very happy to see here enjoy everything. The places i took her where of great facination to her, her favorite words where pretty, amazing, and beautiful. After our little outting we went to a drive t. because i was late for work and she started to get out of the car. i was like no you stay in car, her reaction: "wow" i found out that this expression is actually a universal answer! lol!!! Anyways i think my point is this, whenever i go out with La the sky seems to be bluer, the sweet sent of a flower is sweeter, food seems greater, and life just seems more beautiful. it makes me happy to know that i am blessed with the life i lead. i have so much that i never even realized. Thailand is so different from America that i think it would be every hard to live there after being brought up in America. But to know what i speak of you'll have to tune into my next blog and see the difference between American and Thailand, your mouth will drop!

Reply to To..day..

you know most of the time people feel as if the world is going to end. as if there is nothing worth living for in this life, in this society that is so full of war, hate, and violence. We could just wake up and sit in our bed and not really do anything about it but sink into depression of what our world, our life is coming to, but why would you do that? now i tell you, think about it? why should we conform with they way everything is run? why should we let the way society act influence us? it may sound stupid but we do have to take one day at a time. it was once said to me "God make time and we made hurry and worry." how true is that! everything in our life is full of deadlines, and rules, and appointments, but we're the ones who decide how fast to act on each account. Life really is to short and there are to many beautiful things to see in life to let it go by just thinking about how horrible it is becoming. We should just wake up in the morning and be thankful we can actually see that beautiful blue sky with flffuy white clouds that surounds us everyday and we give no knoledge to. We should be thankful every time we go out for a walk and are able to actually take a walk because your health enough to do so. We should be happy and thakful for so many little things that it just makes you see life in such a different way. Having the sense of smell makes me so happy. i love going to a garden when im feeling a little down and just taking in everything mother nature has let bloom, its a great feeling! i just believe we have to take advantage of our life now that it may pass you by and when you do realize what you can do with it, it will be to late.

New culture in my home

Hey everyone! just started this, and trying to get used to it. Thanks klo!!! Anyways i just wanted to share something that has been happening to me these past few days. I have living with me a girl from Thailand (i hope thats how its spelled!). She is just staying at my house until tuesday. When i first heard about this girl, who is actually 25 years old, i was kind of scared of meeting her. i mean think about it, you are going to be hosting a person who knows the same vocabulary as a two year old, if not less. The lack of communication was going to be horrible. Her background is as follows: graduated from university with a BA in Managment, worked 12 hour shifts for $100 a month, which apparently in thailand, its really good pay and decided she needed to find a better life and came down to America with her uncle who happens to be my father's best friend. When she got to America she was informed that she was going to have to stay for two years before going back to her homeland, she was only supposed to stay for a month . The first time i saw her was the day she came in, right after she had just received this news. Her eyes where bloodshot and the tears just kept streaming down her face. The only thing she said to me was "call home, sad" then bowed and went on talking with her family. this is when i found out what happened. I suddenly felt so bad and heartbroken for this girl. It reminded me of when i first moved to Florida although i had my bestfriend here and i was staying with my fahter i still felt very lonley, so i could only imagin what it felt like for her to be in a place where no one was familiar as was not the language. To make a long story short, it has been very interesting. We went out to EPCOT, the car ride was really quiet and i thought the day was going to be unbearable. As we drove into the parking you see "Spaceship Earth" the great big ball that says EPCOT on the side. "LA" the girl's name shakes my hand and says "this" pointing to such ball. I look at her and say "EPCOT, we go in ball," mind everything is said with great hand gestures while driving a moving automobile. Going through the entrance brought a smile to my face as i saw her face light up and say "PICTURE!" not to spaceship earth but to all the flowers that where in fron t of it! The most simplest things made this girl very happy. Our conversation was very limited considering we only had a ten word vocabulary to deal with. Can you believe we spent the whole day laughing, joking, and sharing pictures and drivers lic. with eachother! which only makes me believe that people are capable of understanding eachother even if there is a language barrier or just a total different culture. It you don't understan its just because you don't give it or yourself a fair try. And believe me the only thing i know how to say is Thai is water! We spent the whole day showing each other words in our language. She says im her Teacher! When she want's to know how to say something she says "Speak English" and points to what she wants me to say, its really fun. Well just wanted say a little of what has been going on in my life.
