GO CANADA, GO!

Yesterday was the final day of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Canada's Hockey Team finished the Olympics with a BANG with a WIN against USA! Ya ya!!!

That was one intense game. My heart was beating so fast during the last 30 seconds of the 3rd period. I had a feeling it would go into OT. I thought it would go into a shoot out but CROSBY finished the game in OT. Oh, his skills in hockey makes him so attractive. Hehe.

Oh, by the way, Canada broke a new record! They earned the most Gold Medals in the Winter Olympics in HISTORY! Woo Hoo!

GOOD WAY TO FINISH IT OFF, CANADA! You did a great job!!!!!

Update

Wow, I haven't been here in months. It sure feels weird.

So for an update:

Moxie's: Worst training sessions I have ever experienced. It was an inclass training lesson for two weeks straight, 4 hours a day. I was exhausted! I would work from 10am - 3pm at my morning job and head straight to training at Moxie's from 5pm - 9pm. We were tested every single day on the previous lessons. If we failed any of the tests, we are forced to rewrite the tests until we passed. Eventually everyone began to cheat. I will admit it was pretty funny when everyone was cheating. Some of the trainers helped us cheat or were absolutely oblivious. Eventually we opened in mid-October. When we finally had the opportunity to serve, the experience was improving. I had the opportunity to meet new people and I was able to socialize with my co-workers and guests.
Eventually, I began to hate it. The managers were very unprofessional, in terms of their behaviour and how they ran the restaurant. My GM had the nerve to tell some of the girls that they needed a better push up bra, to show more clevage or to shorten their skirts. They would fire people over the phone for the most ridiculous reasons; calling in sick to take their grandmother to the hospital, etc. I had a friend who resigned her position and the GM said, "that is probably for the better, you were struggling anyways." I'm sorry, but who says things like that?
So in the end, approximately 2 Months later, I ended up quitting the job.

Helping Hand: I'm enjoying it. I have been given more responsibility. I'm hoping this will result in higher pay! I have nothing to complain about the job. My co-workers and managers are fun and laid back.

I'm having such a difficult time saving money. I finally signed up for ING savings account. I'm hoping to reach my goal. I hate paying off debts. Stupid credit cards. I need to live without them but I can't help but use them.

I'm very excited. I'm going to dominican in exactly 20 days! Yay! An entire week to relax on the beach and have a good time.

I need to find a new hobbie. I have considered picking up photography as a hobbie but I'm not sure yet. I am kind of stuck on money right now, so an SLR is out of the question right now.

I went rock climbing on Saturday for the first time and it was a lot of fun. I was very sore the next day but that is one workout I wouldn't mind doing everyday. Unfortunately it is quite far for me. I went to Rock Oasis on Bathurst and Front, downtown, Toronto. Too bad there wasn't a closer location for me attend to.

School: man, oh man, I'm behind on some reading but this week/weekend is crunch time. I'll leave it at that.
I will be doing my wedding certificate in January. Scary, they consist of 2 in class lectures (11 hours each!), 2 week take home learning package and a final exam in the end. Let's hope it goes well! After the course, hopefully I'll have a better understanding of how the business works and I will know how start my career.

New job and school

I started my admin job Monday morning! It is so different than working in a retail environment. Thank god, I am OUT OF THERE! The job so far is good but it is quite repetitive.

Everything is going smoothly.. for now. School begins in a week and half. I am not excited. How about you guys? Are you guys excited?

So I got really lazy this entire week and I did not make the Chocolate fruit cups. I will make them hopefully this weekend of next weekend! Why do I say the weekend? I finally got a job! Doing admin work.. I know, I know. It's bitch work but it's a start for me. I've been doing retail for YEARS! Since I was 13 years old! I just can't do it anymore.

Get this, I found out two of my other friends also went to the same interview! Who would have known! I start this job on Monday! WISH ME LUCK! I hope they like me!

Another good news, I also got a call back for Moxie's ON THE SAME DAY! Isn't that great? It made my day! The two jobs I actually went for an interview for.. and I got both jobs! Moxie's will not be opening until October but I will be working at both jobs. I am only taking 3 courses at school and I don't think the courses will be too difficult. They're both part time.

Mornings (Monday-Friday) from 10-3 I will be at my admin job and in the evenings (depending on which days they will give me) I will be working at moxie's or be at school.

Wish me luck guys!

Pamper day?

I have been trying to hide today. I also have been trying to keep myself busy so I don't go out and crave to eat food that is not allowed in my diet.

I decided to wax my legs, do my eyebrows and clean my room. Boring, yes I know but I couldn't think of anything else to do. I had to wax and pamper myself for saturday anyways. I have a wedding to attend to. I hope it'll be fun. I hope the food will be delicious (consider that is my cheat day) so let's hope it's worth it! I will make sure to post pictures from the wedding for you! AND I will also post up photos of the chocolate fruit cups when I make them, I just hope I don't get too lazy in the next day or two.

OH and I will be going to a job fair for moxie's tomorrow morning. I hope it will go well. I'm a bit worried.. I have been told they only hire very HOT looking girls OR girls who show a lot of clevage. What to do, what to do. Let's just hope they love me for me, hahaha. I don't know what to wear yet.. boo booo boo!

OH which reminds me, I need to do my smart serve today. I'll keep you guys up to date.



Decided to post up an old photo.
This is me and Janet at our old house in Hamilton. Good times, miss those random days!

xoxo

Chocolate fruit cups!

I will be making chocolate fruit cups! Who is excited? I sure am! I will be making them either thursday afternoon or friday morning! Too bad I can't have more than one. I am currently on a very strict diet .. that is working for me so I do not want to ruin my diet just yet. I also need to save my cheat for a wedding I have to attend to this weekend!

I know, I apologize, I did not properly introduce myself. The name is Diana but many call me Dee. Why dee-lirious?
Definition time; Delirious: marked by uncontrolled excitement or emotion. That says it all!

This blog is going to about randomness. I hope you don't mind. I hope I can keep you entertained with my everyday life. It isn't that exciting but I will make sure to provide you with TONS of photos!

See you guys tomorrow or friday!
