PICS
How is everyone doing today? Good I hope.
Well, I just ordered some ink for tats and I'm a bit disappointed because my "yellow" looks "orange" so idk what i want to do. If i should keep it or return it.
I'm working on a really good piece on my bro in law. So I can't wait till I get that done.
This is the first prayer for the Santa Muerte. We just need to give it that old scroll look to it.
This is the Santa Muerte on the other side of his leg and we just need to add color to it. This one will look pretty awesome as well!
So how was your guys' christmas? Mine was great. Had the family over and I got to cook again. I made Pozole for the first time and everyone loved it. First Christmas without my mom though. Can't wait till she comes back. Had all the kids over and it was so touching when we all woke up on Christmas morning and had them open their presents. They reminded me of that scene in Bambi, where all the bunnies said, "Good morning young prince!" instead they said, "Merry Christmas Grandpa!" and my gramps just had a smirk on his face but it was soooo cute!
My sis, my bro and I
I still don't wanna get rid of my tree
Pookey says we should but i don't want to.
Today I went to the library and brought home 8 books on learning French. I'm so dead serious in learning this language! So as soon as i'm done i'll get started
.
I've been posting up everyday on Craigslist.org ads about tats and the whole dog walking thing. I even posted up a couple flyers. Still haven't heard anything but i'm crossing my fingers
I also wanted to wish you guys a Happy New Year! Here's to the new year, new opportunities and new surprises! Hope your guys' year was great and hope this new year is even better!
Love you guys! MMMUUUUAAAAHHHH!!!!!
xoxoxo!!!!

EEeek! Don't know where to start! Just in such a great mood i can't explain!
I've been balancing out my life right now and so far things are stabilizing slowly.
I have been stressing out because i need to come up with money for everything and the unemployment is delaying. I sent a 9 page letter explaining all my reasons to why i disagree with the fact that they denied my claim because they claim i "quit" when i was let go. Still have not heard from them yet and i have bills to pay so i cannot sit and wait until they decide to mail me a response.
The nurse Marie with whom i used to work with told me that already, the lady i was training before i left quit. So the doc hired 2 other peeps and already fired one and they other is considering of quitting. She also told me that the doc is regretting she fired me which makes me feel great! She also told me that she will be leaving to India for the 18 of Dec through Jan 8. Hopefully i get the court hearing during that time because then the court will favor me because the other party failed to show up.
So i also have been trying almost everything i can to raise money to get through. I have been posting so many bulletins on Myspace for tattoos and body piercing and hoping someone will repost and someone will contact me. What frustrates me is that when people do, they get me excited with such cool projects but then don't contact me again. Such a tease... I have also with the help of my sister, been selling reindeer candy canes for $1 and so far so good. Came up with enough money to pay 2 of my bills.
I also showed up to a dinner party at my apartments and they were playing a game. They attached labels under our chairs and depending on what our label said, we would get a gift. We got a $25 American Express gift card! Yay! That helped us pay our ISTA bill, well, a portion of it. The bill was $40 so $25 is a HUGE help! We also met new neighbors whom were really nice.
We have also been trying to sell some of our stuff so when the moving day comes, we wont be so overwhelmed with so much junk. But just when people want to buy the item, we don't hear from them again. I'm like thinking, what's the deal?! They say they will stop by that day but then they don't and that was that. We tried ebay and craigslist.com and nothing has helped. Guess i'll just keep trying until someone comes along.
My mom is still not back from Mexico but should be coming back in January. My bro couldn't go after all so my mom will have to come back to LAX. Can't wait! I miss her so much!
Pookey finally agreed on throwing a SMALL xmas dinner. I'm super excited! I love having the family over for the holidays!
My computer fully fucked up this time. I'm currently using it under safe mode. I don't know what happened? Every time we turn it on and starts to load it freezes! Any suggestions? We want to take it to the Geeksquad but we REALLY can't afford that right now so i guess it will have to wait. It is a bit frustrating because i need my laptop for my daily stuff, email, tattoos, etc. So my laptop means everything to me! Anyone know of anyone that fixes computers and live near the Norwalk California area?
For 2 weeks straight i have been driving my sister to Covina for her security training classes and at first i found it to be a drag but now i don't. I do so much while i wait for her. I sketch tats, read a book ( i have been wanting to do this for a long time now), take naps, or whatever i'm in the mood of doing. So finally she is certified but now she needs to find a good company that will place her in Norwalk so she can start working asap.
A couple nights ago she called me hysterically telling me that she needs a ride to the hospital because her second oldest fell and was bleeding. So we took her to the nearest hospital. I guess my niece was climbing a pipe outside the house, slipped and fell really hard. The doc said she was fine and gave her some ointment. But we were there for 4 hours! I'm sick and we had to sit near the door and every time someone walked in or out the cold wind would blow in. I was coughing so much that night that by the next day i had only 2 hours of sleep and still had to drive my sister to Covina and then Paramount and back to Norwalk.
My really good friend jaywailer asked me if he could get some ink because right now i have a xmas offer in which $100 covers 4 hours and he was helping me out make money to cover my expenses. So i did this really cool shark on him.
So he also wants to get more work done. I guess he wants some of his other tats touched up to match the dark shade of ink i used. He even tipped me with chocolates! BOMB ASS CHOCOLATES!!!! They were gone in 2 days! Lol!
He even referred me to a friend and he had me tatting again the next day. His friend had a tat originally done in Rome and wanted to black out the background so we gave it a glowing effect.
So then he also wanted a spider web and we freehanded the spider web
They were tired but happy with their tats. Hopefully they call me again for more tats.
Yesterday after taking my sis to more errands, we went to the mall to take a survey and we were paid $5 and that helped get another bill covered.
I'm also going to start offering dog walking services. I need my exercise, love dogs, love to walk so hopefully that works out for me too.
Hopefully by January i will be able to shoot another set for all my wonderful supportive SG fans!!!!
So things are going better than i expected and i hope that it stays that way or gets better.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!!! Hope things go well for you guys also.
If i don't talk to you guys later, ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXOXXXOOOOO!!!!!!!

Well it turns out that the unemployment is on my ex employer's side. They claim that i don't qualify because i "quit" which totally threw me off because i clearly told them that i didn't and i am suing my employer for unjustified determination along with other BS. So frustrating! Am i going to appeal? OF COURSE! I just want my rights and what belongs to me. UGH!
Anyway... We got our christmas tree! Yay! Pookey picked out a 9' tree which is bigger than last year's but it looks great!
For the first time Pookey helped me decorate it and it was so much fun!
I want to plan a xmas dinner but Pookey is tired of hosting parties at our place. I just really want to take advantage of our place because we have been living here for 2 years and will be moving back with our parents in March which is when our lease is up if all works well if not then a little sooner.
I'm trying to find all sorts of ways in which i can also come up with money for rent. Tattoos and body piercing is REALLY slow. I want to at least get 1 or 2 people a week but i only have 1 this month. I had to cut my deal by 50% in order for me to get people's attention. From $40 i had to go down to $20 an hour and i'm scared to go any lower if i have to because it's a lot of work.
Many people think that tattoos should be cheap but they don't understand all the hard work and health risk and supply expense behind it all.
I need to come up with $680 for rent up until March, I need to come up with $400 for my car payment until i get my tax return, and $100 for all my bills. I can't express my level of stress right now! I'm going through a hard time just because my ex boss decided to throw a fit when i asked for her to pay my Overtime and to quit harassing me.
I can't believe this.
Really hope things pick up fast.

Sigh- hello wonderful sg!
Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! I know i did. More people showed up than i expected. The turkey was okay, the ham was great!
Here are some pix:
Then the weekend after thanksgiving we went to a wedding and some guy was doing impressions but kept hitting on pookey all night long! LOL
this is my niece and i
Pookey and i
So i finally got my check back from my most recent employer but it was not signed so i couldn't cash it. So i mailed it back and spoke to the office manager and she said she would fix the problem.
I got my interview for unemployment and technically it is up in the air because it is a "He said, She said" situation. The doc fired me when we were alone and did it on purpose because she knows its her word against mine. She claims i "walked out" but we both know she fired me. Since there is no paperwork or proof of termination, the EDD still has to investigate my case and come down to a conclusion.
I told the rep that i knew she would do something like that which is why i'm suing her due to her lack of unprofessional behavior. So she asked me to fax over proof that i'm suing her in order for them to make my case much more creditable. So let's see what happens.
In the meantime, i'm trying to remain calm and stress free but it is hard because our lease is up in March so we need to come up with rent money until then in order for us to maintain our credit and prevent from being evicted. I was counting on the unemployment to help us by until our lease is over or until we are able to get our tax money.
I still have to come up with $680 for rent $400 for my car and $100 for all my bills, not to mention gas $20.
There is no doubt that my stupid employer is trying to make my life a living hell!

There is no doubt that my stupid employer is trying to make my life a living hell!Well you guys did have interesting stories! Sorry to hear about the sad ones . Things will look up for all of us soon, you'll see.
Today i showed up to my ex job. Pookey went with me. It was about a 45 minute drive on the 5 fwy, (you guys know what its like right? ugh hate the 5) and show up to the office to pick up my last check. Friday i spoke to the manager and she said it would be ready for me to pick up on Monday at 10:00 am. So i show up at 11:20 am and she wasn't there and some dude told me i had to wait for her. According to him, there was no way of getting a hold of her so the only option is to wait.
I couldn't wait and i refuse to come back so i left my address and told him to mail it to me as soon as she arrives. She then calls me 30 minutes after i left and told me that i need to go back because in order for them to hand me over my check, i "need to sign a letter of resignation". That is denial of my pay and i told her that i refuse to sign anything and the only business i have with them is to pick up my last check. So she agreed on mailing it to me today so i should receive it by Wednesday if that is true.
Why do they have to be so complicated about things? Ugh! So i wasted my gas and time and came home empty handed. I paid some bills, ran some errands and just got home a couple minutes ago.
That damn doctor wants me to say that i resigned so she doesn't have to pay me unemployment although she is the one who fired me. Non the less harassed me while she did it!
I'm still waiting on the court hearing and hopefully i win the case because there is just so much bullshit i had to put up with.

So today is saturday... yippee... lol. Haven't been sarcastic in a while.
I'm doing better now. My headaches haven't come back which is a really good thing. My dad was trying to get me to give him info over the phone so he can help me out. It seems that my blood pressure is low. I take it everyday and it is constantly low. Dunno why. So he advised me to make some changes with my daily routine to try to change that. So far it has helped.
I'm hosting Thanksgiving again! Yay! I'm really excited because i enjoy putting events together. The sad part is that my mom won't be here this year. She's spending it with my dad in Mexico. Also no one seems to want to host it with me. Pookey is tired of hosting a party every year and i don't blame him. My cousin said she would help me but she doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about it as i am, so i'm not really counting on her help.
It's going to be great.
I feel lonely. I feel like i'm being misunderstood and everyone seems to be against the choices i've been making lately. I feel that everyone is pushing me to do something with my time. I need to relax! I need a break! I don't want to do anything, i just want to enjoy my life and the world around me! I'm tired of living everyday as a routine as if i were working in an assembly line for a living, I want to LIVE!!! I don't want to become a mindless and emotionless robot. No one seems to understand that.
Ugh... i feel like i've reached that point in which i crashed into the wall. Everything fell apart and nothing that i do seems to be good enough.
So how is everyone doing? I want to hear what everyone has been up to? Any interesting stories?

Hello SG, how is everyone doing? Good i hope. Just as i hoped to enjoy my vacation time i've been struck with a headache that won't go away.
I was driving and all of a sudden a sharp pain hit me in the back of the head and spread to the front side of my head and then my right eye began to hurt. THen the entire right side of my head was hurting. It felt as though someone had shot me in the back of my head. It is the first time this has ever happened. I have never felt this pain before. It hit me all of a sudden, it wasn't as though i had a headache and it build up. I was doing fine and BOOM! It hits me! I stopped the car in the middle of traffic, i was unable to talk and i had to hold onto my head or i felt like it was going to explode.
My lil bro was in the car with me and he freaked out. I was seriously considering on calling the ambulance. I then figured that i can't just sit there. I needed to go home. I don't know how but somehow i got home. I just wanted to sit in the car but my bro helped me up to the apartment so i can lay down and take some pain killers.
The pain eased and my bro freaked out and called my dad who is a doctor in Mexico and he was trying to figure out what happened. Then pookey got home and he was trying to help me out.
It has been almost a week and everyday i get the same pain but not as severe as it was the first time. Pills don't help anymore. The only thing that helps ease the pain is if i lay down on my right side. My mom and dad say i need to see a neurologist but i dnt have health insurance.
Well, i gtg the pain is comming back.
TTYGL!

I think this is the best i have felt in a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time. It feels incredible waking up in the mornings and decide if you want to sleep in or not or even deciding on what to do through out your day. I'm not used to this freedom that i begin to feel as though i have to eventually go back to work. This morning i woke up thinking i have to take my bro to school but then i realized it was sunday so i tried to go back to sleep.
I'm really excited about this coming friday because there is going to be a fashion show at my old high school and my ex-art teacher invited me to check it out. I'm so excited to see what kids come up with this year and it better be good lol.
Yesterday, my cousin, my sister and i went to a job interview at Cerritos mall for Forever21. They are hiring for everything so i went for a management position. When i was being interviewed, the lady didn't even bother to look at my application and turned down my application. She said i was not qualified because they need a year or more of management experience when i have 2! So i went ahead and summarized everything for her and made her feel stupid. She then told me "by the looks of things you don't have experience at the register" and again i told her it was on my application in which i have nearly 3 years of experience as a cashier. UGH! she really pissed me off.
In a way i didn't want to go for it because my unemployment check would be higher than working the minimum wage job they had to offer. But i have ALWAYS wanted to work at forever21 and i was kind of bummed out at the fact that i was stuck in a situation in which i had to turn it down. I don't care if the lady didn't want to hire me, but how can she insult me by saying i'm not experienced enough? if anything i'm OVER experienced. Whatever though.
I came home and started posting some stuff on ebay to sell because well... i have to sell the things i have because we can't afford our place anymore. I will have to move back with my mom or rent out a room somewhere. Guess i will go back to square one. But that will give me the chance to focus on my career instead of trying to land a job that won't get me anywhere.
I'm 24 and by the time i'm 27 i want to have something rolling, i want to be married and have atleast one kid. At that point, then i will know i'm on the right track.
So on my last day at work when i dropped off the key, bitch ass doctor made me sign a paper stating that she paid me the OT that she took out of my payroll without my consent. To my surprise, two days later, she stops the payment of the check forcing my back to bill me for the amount she wrote out to me plus a $10 fee. Close to $50 that i had to pay the bank. $50 that i need for bills and especially now that i have no income! That shit pissed me off, so i called a lawyer and explained my situation, till this day i havent heard anything from him and it has already been 4 days. So i will report her ass to DIR (Department of Industrial Relations) and they will ask her to pay me the money she owes me.
She will not just have to pay me the $50 i had to pay the bank but also and extra hour of work for everyday i didn't have a lunch at my regular pay rate. So i'm looking at $3,000 or more. Now this is the confusing part as well... i also didn't take a 10 min at any point of my day so she also has to pay me an extra hour of work at my regular wage for that. If i understood right, that is a total of 2 hours per day making that a total of $6,000 or more.
If she refuses to pay, we will then go to court and present evidence and witnesses. I have my paycheck stubs, i have a couple witnesses, and she broke the law by removing pay from my check without my consent, and not providing a written statement with both of us agreeing that she will not give me a lunch but she will pay me the extra hour not worked making it up for my non brakes no lunch days.
So she's really stupid for digging a deeper hole for herself. Hopefully it all works out for me and things go well.
Love you guys! Thanx for the support!
I think this is the best i have felt in a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time. It feels incredible waking up in the mornings and decide if you want to sleep in or not or even deciding on what to do through out your day. I'm not used to this freedom that i begin to feel as though i have to eventually go back to work. This morning i woke up thinking i have to take my bro to school but then i realized it was sunday so i tried to go back to sleep.

Surprise, surprise... well.. let me start by asking everyone how was their halloween? good i hope. Mine was ok... i left trick or treating a little late with my nephew so we didn't get much candy which sux but it was fun. I wanted to take all six kids but they left with another relative and we only had one.
So about the third week of October shit gets pretty bad at work. Out of no where, we have no money available in the company's bank account. We had to wait off on payroll. After that the fucking doc decides to be a total bitch. I mean, i understand that she's having problems and she's stressing, but she needs to keep it professional and not harass her employees, and if something needs to be directed, do it within the office. She kept calling my cellphone out of work leaving rude messages about what needs to get done in the office. That was not appropriate at all.
There was even a day in which she yelled at me. I was on the phone with a patient and she began to yell from across the room asking what the hell was i doing. When someone is on the phone, you can clearly see on any other phone in the office because the light to that extension glows red. So she cannot say i was just sitting and starring at the ceiling. I was dealing with a handful of paperwork in which i have been behind on for 2 days.
I was the only one working in the office. I was pretty much running the office, idk how she would think that i would have nothing to do?! So the more she harassed me the more i gave her space to cool off. I would not greet her as she came in, i would not let her know when i left, i just minded my business and did my work so there was no sort of communication with her.
Wednesday of halloween week, she calls me into the office and tells me "If you are going to be walking around the office with your mood swings, i think it would be best if you went somewhere else. I will get someone for you to train, work the rest of the month and go". Technically, the rest of the month would be until friday so that would give me only 2 days to train someone. So i went off on her. I started to yell back at her and told her that i will not tolerate her treating me like her kids, that she cannot yell at me as she pleases and she is very unprofessional and ungrateful because out of the one year and 3 months that i have worked for her, i have never complained about all the shit i had to do that was NOT on my job description. And although i basically was the only one working in the office, my position had to be promoted and i did not receive a raise.
She then said that by saying that i was complaining and it was apparent that i was not happy working there. I told her that i loved working there because of the high responsibility and the patients. Mostly the patients because you get to know them and they are very nice and thankful for everything i did for them. But her on the other hand, stressed the shit out of me. Then i told her, "If you want me to leave, i leave now, i will not wait until i train someone, you are not forced to keep me here and i am not forced to stay here, just let me know what you want to do and i will respect your decision."
She then bust some bullshit about how i have to give her a two weeks notice enough time to find someone and i replied "no i don't and no i won't, there is not contract or any written notice stating that we agree on that" so she then changed the story and said that her partners want me out because i'm making too much yada yada ya which is total bullshit because i've seen her do it and say the same shit to other people. She just can't be honest and will blame others for her actions and decisions.
So i rolled my eyes. Technically, as an office manager, i should have been making a minimum of $18/hr, the average is $20-$23/hr and max is $28/hr. I was making a lousy $14/hr for all that work, the commute and other bullshit that comes along with it. But she said i was making "too much".
So Thursday came, a lady walks in and i come to find out i will be training her. Fucking bitch got someone to replace me in less that 24 hours. So i train the lady and was trying to help her out. I was going to make Friday my last day because that was the end of the month. But i showed up on Monday to turn in the key. Since they had a new patient i had to help out so the trainee can know what to do.
Once the trainee found out i was leaving she freaked out and immediately said she would call her lawyer. Before i could go in the office to talk to the doctor and turn in my key, the trainee bursts out to the doc that i was leaving and she's not ready so i was pissed that she did that. EIther way, i admitted to the doc that i just showed up to turn in my key and the bitch asked for a resigning letter.
I was like, "WTF?! you fired me!" so i just left and she said i couldn't leave without typing one out and i said i didn't have time to discuss it because i had an interview to attend and i will be emailing her later. Fuck that bitch! I am not writing anything and i'm reporting that bitch for all the illegal shit she made me do such as no sick days, no lunch and even intensions of stealing hours from me.
Oh yea, i forgot to mention that. My payday was halloween, so when i saw that she submitted payroll on Wednesday, i noticed she refused to pay me for my hour and fifteen minutes of OT that i HAD to do because she made me stay. She then told them that i didn't take my lunch and that's why she's taking it out. Took or not a lunch, if i worked i need to get paid. So i guess she talked to someone and they told her that was illegal and she called me in the office and wrote me out a check for that amount and tried to sugar coat it by bullshitting me telling me that she knew what she was doing and she will pay my lunches separately.
So here i am. Jobless and sitting in front of my computer giving myself the attention i haven't had in a while.
I'm actually loving it. I feel free. It's such a relief that i don't have to commute from Norwalk to Tustin anymore. With traffic thats anywhere between 45 min to an hour on the 5 fwy!
Yesterday i went to the library with my sis and we had fun. I want to take this time to go to school and take a class that i want and not a class that i HAVE to take. I want to learn a new language. I want to read a book, i want to have a nice home cooked dinner ready everyday for my family to come home to. I want to relax. Watch TV although i don't like it. Focus more on tatting. I want to design clothing and see what i can make out of that. I don't want to find another job, not yet, not now. I don't want to live paycheck by paycheck and work on a schedule. I want to own my time. I want to be my own boss. I want to LIVE. I don't want to be depressed, stressed, worried, mad or tired. I want to feel like i'm getting somewhere and not become a robot and repeat everyday the same way. I want to do something extreme, something BOLD.
I know eventually i will want to get a job. But this to me is a vacation and and investment to improving myself and my future.
The worst part about it is that i will lose my place. I will have to move back with my mom or ask my aunt to rent me out a room. THATS the worst. BUt i'm okay with it. I'm not worried. I already lived on my own. I know what it's like and next time, i will come back bigger and stronger and things will be BETTER!
I'm really excited about this change. But everyone around me is freaking out, offering me money and worried about me. No matter how many times i tell them it will be okay, they refuse to think so.
I already applied for unemployment and my reason under why i'm unemployed was her quote "if you are walking around with your mood swings it's best if you went somewhere else" she did not just fire me, but she harassed me. I know she will deny it and refuse to pay, but i will also seek legal advice to send that bitch to court for all that BS i had to put up with. No sick days, no lunch, harassment, stealing hours, idk about no paid holidays. I only missed work twice since i started, one was an emergency and the second was a funeral.
Sigh- i'm just happy that i'm not there anymore.
Anyone know of a good lawyer? lol,
well, this will give me the chance to make an attempt of shooting my own set and i'm anxious to see how that turns out lol.

OCtober 17th 12:03 pm.....
I'm currently baking cupcakes to sell for a $1. My bro's football team asked us to sell tix for $20 each to raise $200 but who honestly would want to buy a raffle ticket for $20?
So we have to pay the money no matter what. So we came up with the idea of selling cupcakes. We're crossing our fingers.
Good news is, i got my phone back. The company decided to work with me. THey asked me to pay $250 and they will bring my balance to zero so i dnt have to pay the $800. I'm just going to have to cancel one of the lines and get Metro. Also, my dad got another job! So right now he's juggling 3 jobs. But he's happy so that's all that counts.
Bad news, my dad's other brother died. Just 2 weeks ago his sister died. I hope he feels ok. What worries me is that my aunt helped him when he needed it. WHen he didn't have a job and needed to eat, she fed him. I'm worried that he will end up the same and this time he has no one to help him out.
Tattoo biz is slow. waaaay tooo slow. Not good.
My job is going downhill. Stupid doctor is giving me attitude and is being really rude. She cut my hours again and is giving that place 3 months to pick up or she'll close it down. Little does she know that this all happened because of her. She's never on time, never answers her phone, never returns calls and so on and so fourth. How the fuck does she expect for people to want to go to her if she's not giving them the attention she promised? She's really starting to piss me off. I do everything there because i'm the only one working there and she treats me like shit. I dnt get a lunch, i dnt get a break, i dnt get sick days, i dnt get vacation time, no benefits and she expects me to put up with her shit?! sHE'S stupid!
Yesterday at work it was really stressful and busy. Patients giving me a hard time, yelling, demanding, babies crying, tight schedule, shipping, calling, billing, filing, coping and in the end, dumb bitch calls me into the office to bitch about messages that she took that were meant for me. She was like, "i dnt need to know this, this is something you can take care of" and throws the memo on the desk.
If i do, and i hope its soon but i doubt, i will find a better job and i will show up to the office as though i'm going to work and tell her i quit on the spot. I'd like to see her handle all that chaos on her own.
I haven't cashed my check because there are no funds in the damn account. Where the fuck is she spending the company money?!
Well, its saturday. I just want to sit and relax but i can't. Sis needs to run erands and i'm her ride. I need to go out and sell the cupcakes. Got to go pay some bills. Come back home, cook and head off to my bro's football game.
