Life Update

So, my previous post only got about 17 views, and I'm pretty sure more than half were from me, but hey! You have to start off small :)

So let's see.. I posted on July 8th, but we can back up a few days before that so I can start this post off with something exciting.

On July 4th, (Happy Bday America!) I was at a friend's house for a little Independence Day party. All was well, and it was fun! I got shot by multiple fire works, I was chased by multiple fire works, I was attacked with surprise fireworks, and I laughed as people got shot, chase, and attacked by multiple fireworks. It was fun and it was nice to spend time with my friends, considering I hadn't seen them in about two weeks. (I stay at home and live in the lap of luxury. JK, I couldn't drive anywhere.) Anyways, as I was leaving, it was really dark and I thought that I could actually maneuver without causing harm to myself or my friend, who was sitting in the passenger seat. As I backed up, my back-up camera detected a tree. And well, they had a red line where I knew that I could inch up close enough and pull out without hurting my Fat Amy. (Fat Amy is my car.) So I did just that, but as I was changing to drive, my car decided to back up just a little bit. And since it was on uneven ground, it actually hit the tree harder than intended. I was embarrassed and on the verge of crying because the other party guests just looked at me and I, completely fulfilled the stereotype of an Asian driver.. a WOMAN Asian driver. lol (I joke around a lot, and am all into feminism and all that jazz.) So yeah, I drove home with my light busted and my car dented. I was more freaked out about my parents reacting to what I did than the actual damage, because we ALL know that a parent's fury is far more scary than actually hitting a tree. I went home, told my mom and dad up front, and they were surprisingly calm about it. My dad thought I hit a person, but that's beside the point. He also thought I hit another car after I told him I didn't hit a person. But hey, who's to trust an eighteen year old? So yeah, my parents spent a couple hundred plus some labor to get it fixed, well.. my dad fixed it. And well now it's new again! Except for the huge scratch on the front side of the car. (My mom somehow managed to scratch the house as she was backing out and didn't notice until I pointed it out. Christianne - 1, Mom -1.) All in all, it was frightening but also a funny story that I can now joke about. Plus, I have this as proof. (My dad wanted me to keep it as memorabilia.)

Let's see.. after that incident. I didn't want to drive for a while so I made my friend pick me up so we could all meet up and watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, or something along those lines. He was supposed to pick me up at 4:00 PM. He picked me up at 4:50 PM. WOW. I was literally so pissed off. I told him he was a little *expletive* through text and while we were driving (speeding) to the movie theater. When we got there, we got in our seats, we missed part of the beginning but it wasn't much. The movie was quite boring, in my opinion. My friends said it was really good, but I found the plot line to be quite.. common. Like it was nothing that surprised me or anything. It was honestly too cliché. I didn't like it at all. I predicted everything that happened in the movie and I was just not having it. It bored me and while I fell in love with Maurice and Caesar's son (yes, I can fall in love with monkeys), the overall movie was just not good. The actors were mediocre. I was not believing a single bit of it. The previous movie, to me, seemed more fit with my liking because the apes weren't talking so much. 

After the movie, we walked around and I tried my very first macaroon! It was quite delicious, but it was weird too. Not the taste, but the feel of it. It was like taking a bit out of an oreo cookie and finding ice cream on the inside. It was good, but the hype over them is too much. (Call me a hipster.. wait.. don't hipsters like that stuff? Idk.)

I applied for a job at Forever 21, and got an interview! Even though I only had like a month more to go before I leave for college, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Hopefully I can move from the Naples to the Gainesville Forever 21. 

Anyways, the interview went well, they made me wait for a good hour, but it was worth it because I did my best during the interview and within four hours of leaving, I got a call saying that I got the job! I was quite surprised and I ran downstairs to tell my parents. I was bragging about how well I did during the interview too. I'm quite anxious about starting because I'm going to be leaving so soon, but I guess it's better to get the experience now rather than later.

I went to orientation two days after and I actually loved it. It made me fall in love with Forever 21 even more. My boss was nice, the other new sales associates were really nice and I just felt at ease there. 

After the orientation, I made plans to hang out with my friends. We were going to watch another movie called The Purge: Anarchy, or something. 

We packed the car to it's maximum (plus one) capacity and jetted off. We snuck two minors in (oops) and we were probably the loudest one at the theater. We managed to scare my friend during the trailer, and let me tell you it was the funniest thing I've seen all day! After watched the Ouija trailer, I made my friend Zainn (Malik, yes I know that's not how you spell Zayn's name, but it was so close that I had to call my friend Zainn Malik,) tickle up my friend Cecilia's back. She screamed, got scared, and basically made me almost pee my pants and got the attention of a few people from the row in front of us. 

The movie made me pissed off to no extent. It's really hard to please me movie-wise. (JK, it's like really easy, but the ape movie plus this one, wowowowow they sucked!) It did make me want to go purging, well almost. I think the thrill would be kind of fun, but don't count of me signing a petition to get that crap started. It's quite scary too. 

There was a loud-mouthed teenager in the movie, who I wanted to die. An annoying divorced couple, who I also wanted to die. The mom was almost on my list, but didn't quite make it. And the lead guy was okay. Overall the movie had so many twists and I was left dizzy and unsatisfied.

Now it's Friday. I spent my day cleaning. I'm so fun! I ate pizza with my family, watched some OITNB (Piper really pissed me off) and ate some lava cakes! 

I ALSO GOT MY SIGNED SAM SMITH "IN THE LONELY HOUR" ALBUM AND I COULDN'T BE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH IT! IT'S SO PERFECT!

I also got my Social Print Studio photos in the mail the day before, and the photos are so cute! I recommend that app to print out your photos! Not only is it fast and easy, (that's what she/he said) but the paper it's print on is really soft! And I got a free sticker! Woo! 

Life update complete. The other days I skipped were meant to be skipped. I literally did nothing those days. 

I'm Christianne and hope you enjoyed! :) 

Picture update (I don't think I look like a five-year-old in here)

Life

Hi! My name's Christianne! (chrish-tee-anne) Sorry if you already knew that, but from previous mistakes and many embarrassing moments in my life, I have learned to introduce myself with the pronunciation of my name. I've gotten Christian, Christianna, Christine, Christina, etc. I'm not sure how people would make those mistakes, I mean.. you literally just have to pronounce my name is syllables.

Anyways, I'm going to give this a try and see how it is. I'm quite new to blogging and I'm not quite sure what realm of the internet I want to blog about, maybe I'll blog about everything, who knows!

I'm currently in a small town in Florida and am about to head to college at the University of Florida, which is a five hour drive from where I am now. I'm going to study and hopefully finish with a Public Relations major. Once I finish, I'm going to California and find my place there. It's been my dream to live in California since I was a little kid, and I'm hoping I experience many new things there!

A little bit about me, I graduated high school on May 30, 2014 in the top 10% of my class, I know. You can applaud whenever you want. Kidding! Anyways, I've been in Florida for around 13 years maybe? I'm not quite sure. Maybe 14.. I moved from the Philippines at a young age and wasn't really accustomed to the culture, and was NOT ready for the culture shock that I experience when I came here for the first time.

I like to travel quite a lot, I want to experience new cultures and create lasting memories for the many years to come. Some places I've been to are: Most of the East Coast of the US, California, Nevada, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, South Korea (for a layover), Philippines, and well that's it for now.

I'm also.. wait for it.. a fangirl. Yes, I know. It's quite embarrassing to admit, considering I am almost 20 years old. But I'm a sucker for them. But don't get me wrong, I really love listening to bands that aren't known all over the world on such a huge scale. My music varies to almost every single genre. But you'll mostly catch me listening to Justin Bieber (judge me, he can actually sing and he's been my fave since I was in the 7th grade,) One Direction (yet another bubble gum pop genre, but I assure you, if you actually listen to their whole album and not the singles on the radio, you'll be very surprised,) The 1975, The Maine (touched John O'Callaghan's butt, btw,) A Rocket to the Moon (RIP,) a bit of Miley Cyrus, Hunter Hayes, my current obsession SAM SMITH, and many more. I listen to oldies music too, I'm not one of those 90's kids that only listen to the radio hits. I love me some Elvis, Michael, Whitney, Wham!, Hall and Oates, Queen, etc.

Aside from the music aspect of my life, I like to watch Youtube videos. Mostly stupid ones, but I am pretty up-to-date with my favorite Youtubers, Zoella, Alfie, Jim, Marcus, Tanya, Joe, Troye, Caspar, the rest of that Youtube gang, and also PVP, Kingsley, Tyler, The Fine Bros., etc.

So basically I spend most of my time sitting on my bed (no food in hand because I'm not allowed to eat upstairs, curse living under my parents' house!) watching/listening to movies, music, and my fave Youtubers.

Hopefully that will change around the time I head to college, which is in two months.. *insert nervous emoji face*

Well, I guess that's all you need to know right now. Hopefully I'll post exciting things like reviews on music, rants, and pictures of me in various places!

For now, I guess this is like my own personal diary. I kind of feel like Jenna Hamilton from the show Awkward. Really love that show!

Anyways, I love you, whoever it is that's reading this and I hope you come by soon to check up on my life and what not. :)

Love,
Christianne Lei C. (I don't like putting my last name on things because I know the play-on name that goes with it, and I'd rather not be reminded of it on the internet as well.)

Oh, by the way.. This is [real, this is] me: 

I look like a five-year-old, I know.
