Sunday, May 25, 2003 hey folks !! how was the weekend ?? good i bet. mine was relaxing =)) we rented 4 videos (well .. 2 dvds and 2 videos) 'coz blockbuster is having this deal thing. and we bought coupons !! woo hoo !! go coupons. so we started watching hellsing. which is this anime (don't diss it ok ??) about vampires. quite cool. i would really love to have a gun like arucard's. it's *huge* and the bullets are made of melted down silver crucifixes (to kill the vampires). wow =)
also, on friday night i worked as "bar staff" at the opening of some 4th years' furniture exhibition. so now i sortof have experience working at a bar. sortof .. which means i can put it on my resume i guess .. which means it won't be so damn difficult getting a job !! *yay* =) most importantly i got paid 12.50 an hour. and though i only worked 3 hours, i earned 37.50 tax-free dollars. wheee =)
ooh. and i had this very weird dream last night. i dreamt that adit and i were in (of all things) a latin band and that we spoke spanish. and his croatian friend ved was playing the guitar and doing a little folk dance. i think i really should calm down a bit before going to bed.
