Finally a weekend that i could go out and have fun! I worked an early shirt this Saturday and was able to go out with my friends. =) I went clubbing with my cousin and my friend and my brother and his girlfriend. It was funny because all of us had a long day and on the way to the club we stopped to eat at Carls and we all looked at each other and everyone looked tired. It was about 9 pm and my brother said its starting to rain we could all be in bed goin to sleep and we all started laughin. And I said "I know but look at us here  we are " lol we had our food and we were off to the club.

As always I got stuck sitting in the middle, I dont like that because i get claustrophobic and my brother had the heater on because it was freezing and it was raining. Also i felt really shaky because i had drank a red bull at work earlier and i guess it was starting to make me crash. =/ We finally got to the club and it was super crowded it was "Guerra de Corridos." Corridos are songs in spanish i know you guys probably don't kno what they are. I never use to like this kind of music but i guess when your friends play it alot around you, you start liking it. Im not a fan of all of the songs theres some, what i listen to are the lyrics to most songs i don't know why but I like to understand what songs say not just because everyone else listens to it i will to. Same with english music dont you feel the same?

Anyways we danced our butts off as much as we could because it was super crowded most people werent dancing so it kinda looked like a concert people just recording. The singers were also giving aways cds and posters so it was even more crowded than usual. Alot of girls would get up on stage to take pictures, i really don't think I would do that ever number one im shy and don't think ill ever have guts to do that. And second of all those girls look ridiculous just jumping on stage with short dresses show i dnt know what to everyone.

|-( to me thats gross. But ya our night was fun i had a goodtime, we decided to go home around 2. It was kind of funny because everyone was silent and  i just keep blabling aways I think it was the red bull because i felt so enegetic and i was not tired . My cousin fell asleep on the way home so I finally shut up because i thought i was been anoying. ON the way home it was driziling and it looked really nice. My brther and I dropped everyone off at their house and then we finally got home. That was my weekend, well one day of my weekend because like always i was stuck closing at work friday and sunday night.

This week nothing too exiting went on in my life. This friday i was scheduled to work 11 to 7 and ended up getting off work a little later. This totally sucked because I had planned to go to the movies and the show time was 745 by the time i got home and got ready it would take time. I went with my friend and we did not make it on time we tried getting ther as sonn as possible but the tickets were sold out to Jack and Jill. The next show time would be like ten i think, so we ended up going to the mall to walk around. I think its crasy how thanksgiving hasn't even passed and the mall has all these christmas decorations already. The mall we went to was the one in Valencia. Honestly I don't like it but its closest to my home so we went there. We walked around and we talked about what we wanted for christmas. =) I found what  I wanted and hopefully I can get it for myself, he thought it was ridiculous how much it was. It was a juicy couture purse but i like so why not buy it for myself =D. I think i work hard enough and deserve it. lol

So after walking around i decided I would get my brothers girlfriend her christmas card, shes my bestfriend and we always send christmas cards to each other. So we were in Hallmark and there were so many nice cards I didn't know wich one to choose. My friend was getting inpatient so he was like randomly handing me cards and finally the lady from the store said to us "we are closed " and thank goodness I had made my decision by then. lol So the mall closed and we decided to go grab something to eat. It was 930 and we went to this place called Las Delcias it's a mexican place. We ordered food and the place was crowded so we sat outside. It was cold and while we got our food we were just talking about random stuff. We finally got our food so we ate, as we were finishing our food it began to rain on us. It was nice but it got cold so we headed home and called it a night.

Saturday we decided to go watch the movie with my brother and his girlfriend. We went in the daytime becuause i had to close that day. So we watched Jack and JIll, it was a really funny movie. It was about these twins and how the brother isn't too exited about having his identical sister in town and how he tries to get rid of her asap since she will only b in town for a few days. I really enjoyed the movie made me crack up. I recomend you guys to watch it. After the movie i had to work =/ and it really sucked because all my friends got together to watch the fight Marquez vs Pacquiao and i was stuck at work. Don't you guys hate that when something fun or just your friends doing something together and you have to be the one missing out? I do it sucks when i have to close so late and then i get home till almost 12. Today was and ok day woke up preety tired and worked 11 to 7 again nothing too much went on this day.

My first job

When I was sixteen and in High School I had my very first job. One day my mom and I were driving to the post office and we saw a now hiring sign in front of a store that was going to open in our town, called Vallarta Supermarkets. Vallarta if you don't know is a Mexican grocery store. My mom said I should apply for a part time job for the summer, so I did. I got hired as a courtesy clerk or a box gilr wat ever you want to call it, and started asap. The store would soon have its grand opening and never in my life did I think I would still currently be working there.  Been a courtesy clerk was a simply job, all  I had to do was help bag groceries tell the customer "thank you and have a good day". Since I was in school i would only work four hours a day after school for four to five days a week. As time went by my manager started letting me cashier so i would sometimes help on the register. When i turned 18 I was finally of age to be able to sell alcohol so i became a cashier. At first it seemed a little difficult, because i had to learn over 100 codes for the produce. I really don't know how but i guess i have a good memory, I was able to learn quickly and memorize all the codes. I guess after practice they just stay in your mind. After I had the codes down I quckly began to gain more speed at the register. If you've been to Vallarta you'll know how crowded and busy it can get on the holiday or on the weekends.


Vallarta doesn't have an employee of the month or of the year but they did have cashier of the week for a while. You were scored on produce tests, on your customer service and your productivity. I was cashier of the week for five weeks in a row. =) When you earned cashier of the week you would get a saturday and sunday off as a reward. So it was nice having weekends off for a while. I enjoyed cashiering and even though customers would sometimes not be the greatest to you I tried to make the best of it. What I have learned from working at Vallarta is to have alot of patience and obviously I've learned customer service. Let me tell you some people are just the rudest to you sometimes, I've had some interesting experinces as a cashier. But I will never forget this one lady who called me a "bitch." This woman got angry with me when I wouldn't accept her payment of a check when our company policy clearly said we ddint accept checks with p.o. box adresses on it. She became furious when I enformed her I couldm't accept her check I had to call my manager and he dealt with it. I really don't know how but I managed to stay calm and proceed with work . I must say though it took alot not to talk back to that woman!


Today I work in the Customer Service booth. I like my job it deals more with handeling larger amounts of money so its more responsibilty. In the customer service we sell money orders, calling cards, lotto tickets, scatchers, and we also do money gram transactions. The greatest responsibility though is counting the cashiers registers after their shift is over, we verfy their sales and add everything up at the end of the night. It can be stressfull and i must admit exausting at times, but i enjoy what I do. What I also like is that they work around my schedule wich is nice and gives me the opportunity to go to school.
