Coming to ya...from North Carolina

Hey There!! Well here I am again...on a real vacation out here in very, very, hot & humid North Carolina. I'm here for my cousins baptism. I, must say that it's been a long time since i've been to church, so for some reason i'm kind of nervous and excited at the same time, which is kind of silly I guess because I will always be welcome at church....oh well maybe it's just my complex thinking again..getting to my head. But nonetheless, i'm looking forward to my cousins baptism!! I, unfortunately head back to life back in NY on sunday, but let me tell you I gonna make these next 4 days(that's including today) last. So til I get back to NY......Peace Out!!

I've been Tagged!!

Well, it's my first Tag!!! Whoo-hoo!! I, guess I have to name 5 things that I love in My Life...err I think...anyhoo here goes!!
My Life is filled with small blessings each day
My Life is complex, but so am I...sometimes=)
My Life is filled with people who care about me, just as much as I care about them
My Life does not suck
My Life is my family and friends!!

Work, work, work, and a little bit more work!!

I, work as a Warehouse Worker for Target Distribution Center in NY. I, absolutely love the job, and my co-workers. I get to work on 6 different pieces of equipment, which is nice, because you have a bunch of different work functions you can do, so it never gets boring. Well, anyways I work the weekend shift which is 6am to 6pm, 12 hour shifts saturday, sunday, and monday. I, don't mind the weekend shift, my only complaint is that I have to work on Sunday so I can't attend church which is a real bummer because I was a teacher in Primary, and on my last day @church before I started this job I found myself overwhelmed with tears because for about 4 in a half years, I did this and I grew to love the kids as well as all the church members. So for the past 2 in a half years, i've been trying to post to the shift during the week, but no such luck, even though I started a mere 5 months or so after everyone so many people still have seniority over me, but that's not going to stop me from still trying...so this coming fall season wish me luck, as I try to post to the other shift.

What a Vacation......Not Really!!

Well for about a year now, I had been anticipating a family reunion in Hawaii, on the isle of Kauai. It had been forever and a day since I had seen Ohana (sorry translation....family in hawaiian) that live in Hawaii. But little did I know that a thing called "the economy" would put a damper on my vacation plans. In January of this year I had been scoping out the price of airline tickets online everywhere..you name it: Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Cheaptickets, and a gang of other places. At that time the roundtrip tickets from NY to Kauai, were decent with the average price going around $7-800. But I opted not to purchase the tickets so far in advance (...later I would beat myself over the head with that decision), mainly because in October of last year I had bought a new Jeep, so I chose to pay extra towards my car payments. At that time I didn't think anything of it, with there being mounds and mounds of overtime hours at my job, I just figured i'd save up money towards the Hawaii trip. Alright...fast forward to late April, early May in which that bad "economy" stuff started to come into play. The mounds of OT hours I was racking up at work, had become almost non-existent, the price of gas prices had reached an all-time high, and yes...the plane tickets }}insert: beating myself in the head{{ had reached an astronomical amount with the average for a plane ticket to Hawaii being a rough $12-$1300!!! What!!! Are you kidding me?? That was just the the airfare alone, that didn't include the hotel, the rental car, or spending money!! Needless to say, my vacation plans to Hawaii nei had turned to gloom. Although I wasn't the only one to feel the economy, my aunty & uncle, and a plethora of cousins had decided not to go. Instead I sit here typing in front of my PC.....while on vacation..nonetheless....ugggghhhh!! Chilling out within the confines of the lovely Adirondack Mountain in Hawaii.....errr nope.......NY!!

My Journey into Blogville!!

Well, after many moons of pondering whether or not to enter into the world of Blogging......I decided to give in!!! Thanks to my cousins, and or the fact that I get bored often. I'm not exactly sure if my blog is going to be as exciting or interesting as da Ohana's but i'm crossing my fingers...(lol....and toes for that matter=p). So folks, add me to your blogging stuff, or whatever you call it...the Rookie Blogger has entered The Building...or Computer Screen...so watch out!!!
