III -7 days of high school
     June 23, 2006 // 11:01 PM

i'm really lazy when it comes to blogging. I guess the last week has been pretty hectic. It went by extremely fast. A lot of cafe-ing, a lot of airport, a lot of sleeping, and a lot of sweat.

I'm really glad school is over with now. It really sucked when I had school.. I had to deal with the cafe as well. Gosh that place is just my home now. My actual home is probably my secondary. I'm getting really tired of it though. I wish my parents could just do it themselves though. I hope they're getting the hang of it. Maybe tomorrow I'll see how they do with me just standing there. No one will be there for a week.. I'll be in LA.. I don't even want to imagine what could go wrong. I hope everything will be okay.. please have everything be okay... :[

I know my parents rely on me too much for that place.. but it's also my fault because I have that attitude where I want it done right so I want to do it myself.. Sucks...

Graduation was alright. Nothing that exciting. Graduation party @ Larry's was something else though.. didn't see that one coming. It was an interesting learning experience. It just proved some of the things I always thought. I was quite angry that night.. but what can I do? shrug..

My sister is back.. finally! After so many flight delays.. Oh gracious, it's really easy for me to cry at airports. If you need me to tear up.. bring me to the airport. It's just so sad! And it makes me really happy too when people are reunited.. and really sad when people have to leave each other. I saw this couple.. and they kissed before they split and go their separate ways.. sigh.. that was really cute O:)

So today at the cafe.. this couple walks in and orders espresso and a smoothie. Weird.. but they came in separate cars.. after the girl leaves the parking lot.. BAM! Some guy crashes into her. I don't know why I found it so amazing.. everyone around the plaza were so captivated and were all rubbernecking.

So my house is totally ant-infested right now.. basically only the kitchen, but whatever. My mom is convinced some chalk poison stuff is going to work. shrug. It if does, it'll prove that Chinese people are geniuses!

My grandma is over. She's so cool.

Graduation party thing was today. It was cool I guess.. We played Naked and people went home after. I was tired.. and still am, actually.. I think I'll go to sleep.. Another long day at the cafe tomorrow.. come see me!

The Forum - ACOUSTIC TRIO SHOW!
Doors: 8:00pm

*sigh* oh if I were a rich young adult able to go anywhere I wanted with no strings attached and nothing to worry about. That is where I would be on August 2nd, 2006. Oh in a million years.

Anyways, the first day of finals is over. Didn't really have a final.. just Econ. That's one out of 2 of my finals. Last one will be tomorrow. Yippee. I like being a senior when it comes to second semester finals.

Gross my nose just got really freaking stuffy. Blah.

I just tried on my cap and gown. I think I'll need to borrow a smaller one.. my sister's is waaayyy too big. This is realyl exciting.. Graduation in 3 days. I can't believe it's finally over! I complain and complain about high school.. and now I've got 2 days left. YipEEEE.

The Little Cafe is doing well! Today was busy.. especially when all the pallys came over after school. Shessh! Well anyways.. it's been fun.. I like seeing people come by and being able to serve them. I'm tired as hell right now, but I love the cafe!


 

III WOOO GO TO THE LITTLE TABLE FASHOO
     June 08, 2006 // 11:05 PM

The Little Table Deli and Cafe is officially open! It's been a real hectic few days.. I can't wait until school lets out so I'm not so tired anymore and so I could spend more time working at the cafe. I just don't feel comfortable with my parents working there. I'd like to make that place stay a very young place.. Not just old asian people selling stuff. It's been nice seeing familiar faces coming by. Thanks to allll of you guys that have come to the cafe :] And ESPECIALLY Lenine, Bjay, Cat, Dan, Nella, Farnie and Willis who have helped me SOOO much these past few days. Ugh. I fcking love you guys to death. I don't find working there a big task.. I actually find it really fun. Most of the time, there always something to do.. even if theres no one there. I can clean up a bit.. or try out a new drink.. make some more pearl tea.. haha. It's really fun though. I really like making things for people to enjoy... not just my arts and crafts stuff I guess. We've been making an okay amount of money for the past 3 days. Opening day was a really good day though. Hopefully the word will get out about the new cafe and more people will come to have a drink or a sandwich or something.

1307 Jacklin Rd.
(near Bonfare.. Chez Christina..)
Come byyyyyyyyyyyyyy if you love me. Have a nice col smoothie, pearl tea, or blended offee drink.. ooorr if you're mondo hungry.. get a good ol' roast beef sandwich or a vietnamese sandwich! mmmmmmmmmmm! OR!!! even a quesadilla or some yummy warm soup! teeheee.

Anyways.. I'm on my new laptop! My uncles got it for me :) WEE heart them!

Here are some pictures from opening day :)


I think Fran and I are going to leave 4th early tomorrow and go to the cafe for lunch and to work. Hopefully. haha.. I like making people stuff :)

So since the last post, a lot has happened.

I've had no time in between the last post and now to say what's really going on. I've been so busy! We're opening a coffee shop on Jacklin--the old Caffe Romeo. It's now called The Little Table. :]

We've painted, decorated, bought food.. ahhh SO MUCH! We're planning to open on the 6th.. yes, 6/6/06. Shessh. Anyways.. tomorrow, we're stalking up on everything we need. I'm really nervous and really stressed out. But I feel somewhat better after today.. I don't know why. Hopefully everything will go as planned. I hope we get a lot of satisfied customers on Tuesday.. It's senior cut day too.. SENIORS! Go to The Little Table! :)

Tomorrow, my dad and I will be hitting up Costco and Smart and Final.. we'll all be busy.. Tomorrow is guranteed to be long. I have filming for English in the early morning as well. Sigh.. all this stress.. shouldn't come when seniors are suppose to be lazy.
