My hazelnut latte (that i made, i even put whipped cream and all that) is done. I want more, but im too lazy to go downstairs. Haha. Hopefully, it will keep me up all night. :)<br /><br />I feel like this entry will be really random if i keep on typing. lol.<br /><br />Anyhooos, i have been working 9 hour shifts for the past days. It's exhausting, but i love it. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You'll realize how time flies by so quick when you like what you're doing</span>. Only thing that<span style="font-size:100%;"> annoys me at w</span>ork is that im pretty OCD when it comes to organizing things and i hatee it when the set-up doesn't go my way. I organize something, and some other girl will change it. I get really frustrated.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>Oh well. =/<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Speaking of work, i think i need to do grocery shopping for snacks.. that way, i can save and have something to eat when i go on my 10min breaks. :D Pinakbit was nice to drop off cookies at my work the other day.. too bad, all my co-workers ate it. Haha.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What i think of buying:</span><br />1. Wheat thins<br />2. 100 calorie packs<br />3. Crackers and tuna<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></div></div>4. Bars (oatmeal)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Hmm. we'll seeee.

Being the stingy person that i am, i told him that I will never ever spend that much on a coat. I wouldn't even spend $100.<br /><br />Last summer, i went to LA to go shopping. I went to a boutique shop, and after looking and looking.. i found this lovely, black belted coat!! i fell in love with it.. it was BB Dakota brand... havent heard of it, so i thought it was just some random..you know <span style="font-style: italic;">bargain brands</span>.<br /><br />I searched online and it's a pretty pricey brand!! Check the <a href="http://dakotacollective.com/bb-dakota/coats/leona-30">BB Dakota site. </a><br /><br />I looked at the tag, and i almost fainted..it was only freakin <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">$18</span>!!! OMG. I don't know why it was so cheap! The orginal price was <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">$198.00</span>?! It wasn't damaged or anything. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What a steaaal!</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WKshe9b6XbM/Sw7Sj4jJMiI/AAAAAAAAAkI/kACrMV3Rpqc/s1600/16262_198147852552_638942552_3551977_2638073_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WKshe9b6XbM/Sw7Sj4jJMiI/AAAAAAAAAkI/kACrMV3Rpqc/s400/16262_198147852552_638942552_3551977_2638073_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408491716435587618" border="0" /></a>I love it!
