Work Work.. You better Work
Okay so the week commencing... Monday 19th of July is when i started my job that i talked about ...
 |
| Down there some where.. (in another post) |
Yes I did take it despite it being commission based; a large percentage of my reason was for the experience.. it's something to go on my CV & I can say I've experienced a different sector of the career path; money was obviously a factor.. that is the main reason people want jobs.. I set myself goals to see my potential in that area of work for 6 days a week for 4 weeks.
OK.. I did enjoy it & i met some funny/awesome people that i will try & keep in contact with.
The Speeches in the morning where very motivating; most days I would try to replay phrases in my head to keep me going while on the field (territory... location we worked in).
Me & My TM (Team Manager) Becci were called the heffalumps (cause we ate.... a lot)
what can I say.. we needed our fuel.
& Me & a friend Ginge.. are gonna have designer babies... they're gonna b my colour & have his eyes and hair... So thus a Black, Ginger Baby with Blue Eyes... we still need to discuss this of course.
Reasons for leaving in the end... 1 my mother and her partner were getting on my nerves with every negative reason they could find... sigh.
2 six out of seven days plus travelling and the working hours added up...I was always exhausted.
3 In the end I don't feel like it was my trade.. direct sales was not my skill & I'm willing to admit that though i did make a few in my weeks there.
However in just a mere 4 weeks there I can say I changed... I would say my skin is thicker i.e. I can handle rejection.. maybe i need to toughen up that bit more.
Something i said i need to do is speak to more people.. random people & i think that stems from that... where i would meet different people & now i find I get in the mood to meet new people.
It definitely made me want to do further education, at first i was unsure about Uni... but after working full time you realise how good you have it.. & I wouldn't advice anyone my age to rush into full time work. I mean you have your whole life to work...
Decades...don't rush to settle for what is not truly meant for you.
Urm because I'm writing this so late.. I can't entirely remember everything i thought and felt as the weeks went on well not in detail... maybe questions would trigger that because I'd have to dig deep.
So fb/twitter readers feel free to ask..

Long Hair, Short Hair... & Niggas
Sooooo.... My hair is still short. Duh
I happened to go on tinychat yesterday i think... i dunno the days are all mixed up.
But yeah, was that bored.. I think twice before going on cam just cause am so comfortable in my self i tend to look sleepy or half dead and yh etc. So i go on cam in one of the rooms & the first thing that is said.. is "oh my gawdd she look like a nigga.. even erykah badu got more hair than her and she cut it all off"
(she has a number one cut) (clearly she does not have more hair than me)
& also "Sh*t nigga you ugly as hell" So i was like Golly Gee THANKS!
Lmao no i didn't... but anyway my whole thought on this was... okai WTH does my hair being short have to do with me being ugly... since when does having big/long hair give u a free ticket on being pretty... like seriously though... people complain about women weaves and wigs alot nowadays and yet when a person chooses natural you always got something else to say... I was responsible for my big hair.. No one else was paying for maintenance.. so I cut my hair for ME. I hate conforming to what people think is "how it should be" or "the magority" so i might have subconciously cut it cause i'm sick of long hair being the only thing viewed as pretty/cute/sexy/beautiful etc.
The being called a dude part i don't really care about cause, cause my DD breasts kinda reassure me otherwise.
HOWEVER the being called a nigga part... i take great offence to.
1. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE ACCEPTABLE TO SAY IT THAN WHEN SOMEONE OF ANOTHER COLOUR SAYS IT.
2. IT'S A DEROGATORY TERM.. USED BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE WERE THOUGHT OF WORTH LESS & WORTHLESS. SOO WHEN USE IT NOW IT'S LIKE YOU ACCEPT IT.
3. I AM A SMART, INTELLIGENT BLACK PERSON WITH AN AMBITION FOR DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE.
So with that said.. don't ever call me a nigga, i hate the word.. Racism is still around because of the communities that keep it alive... black people are glad to keep the stereotypes alive so racism is still alive towards them. I'm not an ugly nigga, i'm not a pretty nigga, because I AM NOT A NIGGA/NIGGER/NIG Whatever.. like tag. I'm not it. I was not bought up to be one.
ANY WAY AM OUT.
Do Have More Random Stuff on My Mind But for Tonight it's GoodNight. Peace.
HEHE.

Employed by Self... Is that such a good idea?
Soooo Wednesday I officially got a Job @ Arcedia... as a door to door sales person for Scottish Power. BUT... it's commission based and it's all the way in Cardiff... now commission based wouldn't be so bad if i didn't have to pay for transport but i do... £28 for a weekly ticket :S £100 + for the whole summer.. without any guarantee of a sale.. there's no guarantee of paying it off.
My main push to take it was the sole reason of wanting to be an actress. Sound weird yes i know; but... I figured if i want to become an actress then
- Until i get a part/role i won't have a "guaranteed" salary.. i'm going to have to invest in mySELF
-I'm going to work for my money, and not for the hours
- I'm going to have to learn to take Rejection (trust me I'm going to get alot of it)
- & Acting.. if my day is going bad.. every door i go up to.. i still have to look enthusiastic.
Other reasons i have taken it was because the experience looks good on my CV,
i would have some experience in retail and sales & both add up to definite good skill in customer service.
I'm nervous as you are at the start of any new job, but excited at the same time.. the practise on friday put me at ease.. i have a speech to practise.. i should get to it actually.
*Note to Self* Flat shoes all the way.
Btw good employement agencies include Jobcentre: http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk Reed: http://www.reed.co.uk & Inretail: http://www.inretail.co.uk/ ... thats all am regisetered with.. as i go to more i will update :)

University Day
Monday 12th.. Yasmin has gone to Hong Kong.
Went to a Uni day in Caerleon, Newport. My taster classes were in Psychology, Film studies & Green Screen and Applied Drama & Creative Writing. They were good.. made me decide I definately want to go to Uni.. When though? I dunno.. =/ Where ? Beats Me. Studying What? You tell me.
It was good... i guess the actual experience will be better. Went home not so happy though... dunno why exactly.

"I would like to teach the world to read"
...... Nah just kiddin', thats what parents & schools are there for..
But on that note I would actually like to do some missionary work in Africa (and teach them to read)
Anyway that's not what this blog is about... This is just an update on my reading...
I Love Reading... always have can't remember a time when i couldn't read tbh.. (I was taught early)
Urm I've read Ugly by Constance Briscoe.. yet to read the other one but I have it. I cried several times.. I thoroughly recommend it... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ugly-Constance-Briscoe/dp/0340994657/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278283326&sr=1-1
& Wow like if I wasn't sure of how much i liked to read this confirmed it.
Another Good Book is 'My Sisters Keeper' http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Sisters-Keeper-Jodi-Picoult/dp/0340960507/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278284013&sr=1-1
Although quite technical in terms of all the medical terminology it's packed with realism and emotion you can tell the author did her homework.
Also made me cry at the end... (Wouldn't recommend the film after reading the book.. its nowhere near as good on screen)
Conclusion: I'm really a big softy... :S lol
I read a book by Dorothy Koomson called Chocolate Run this week, liked it.. not loved it... was abit slow to start with but at the end it surely had my mouth opened wide... so i also recommend this book... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chocolate-Run-Dorothy-Koomson/dp/0751539686/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278277451&sr=8-1
I've Just Started Man & Boy by Tony Parsons... trying to reead some books by male authors.
& I need to find my book Private by Kate Brian and read that again and the rest of her series! ... I think imight get addicted to those... =]

HATS! =)
Ooooh .... So Hats can Fit my Head Now :D :D Lol
So i might invest in some trilby hats cause they suit me. I decided. :)
Here is one my mum use to ( I.e.I adopted it) own. It's grey I would love it in black.
Tell Me what you Think... you likey? ;) ;)

Urm just in case an interest in make up is taken.. I used
Mac Foundation NW50 - Liquid Mineralized (applied with a sponge... can't find my brush) but i find it comes out quite even so its not problem for me.Though you can't see it my eye shadow consists of 4 different colours, That's Blue Turquoise to the end and a lighter blue towards the middle & a light colour white/peach under the eyebrow to highlight the highest points.
I use a shimmer down the middle of my nose and on my cheeks & just below my eyes, to highlight areas
& then i add blusher on my cheeks.. (I don't usually wear blusher but I'm compromising due to shorter hair & staying away from a masculine look)
I didn't use lip liner here because believe it or not i didn't own any... I was never taught make-up basics lool its not my fault so am learning on the way. However my lips include a bright pink lipstick base, then use of a duller shade of pink yet shimmery lip gloss to town it down and spread it out. (Optional) a really light almost white (yet still pink) lip gloss above that..
Apologies; I'm not entirely sure where i get most of the other products from but they can't be hard to find in most drug stores.
It's funny though i get the occasional break down of self-esteem where it just crashes to an all time low.. I just couldn't do plastic surgery especially not on my face... My features are suited for me perfectly & I may not always like them but they are me.
Paarrrrr - Taayy
So Me & Yas went out last night (Fri 25th June); La Bamba's n Revolutions to be specific it was good fun...Got ready at her house that is me blowing a kiss too you all (loool though right now am speaking to myself) anyhoo off we went, 2 giants in giant heels towering over everyone :) just the way we like it. It was so weird that it still doesn't get dark til like 10 lol. Anyhoo..
Saw ma homie Mo (He's cute:) ) , lol & Me & Yas chilled in la bamba's till people started coming in, we took weird pictures while sat there sipping cocktails lol. Ok so we're not too judgemental.. well I just look n carry on walking, but Yas loves to stare at people who choose to dress & act ridiculous.Sigh.. its not entirely their fault.. i would have hoped.
So we went back n forth to Revz cause La Bamba's was cheaper, taking it in turns to pay for the cocktails :) n Shots (Spending £40 combined). Revolutions Newport is soo comfy however & i much prefer the music. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home
Overall i would say the enight went good.. lool took a picture with a bouncer ...
.... Because i Can lol (thats his attempt of a smile... *Sigh*
& Met Darragh Mortell & Roberts from Tracy Beaker both cool guys & hung with my newest homie Isaac Ssebandeke ;) (Watch out for them all... they should be making it to bigger & bigger screens soon enuff)
Anywayyyy... on to the next blog cause i've been slacking.. mwuah xoxo

Just Rambling
Because I have such a busy life (not really) I've decided to post something else.. probably gonna ramble soo.. yeah bare with me.
Haven't yet gone out out since i turned 18 (JUNE 11th)... (shout out to all my June babies, it is 'the' best month) i know sooo many people who's birthdays spread across June.. hmm ever think its just cause people get bored/cold/lonely between Sept-Nov ?? "summer done.. sigh lets share body heat.."
Lol anyhooo..
Going out Friday with my close friend Yas.. finding stuff to go with my new hair is kinda hard =[
trying to compromise for lack of hair...
Anyway not everything suits me now... gonna have to choose clothes & do my make-up more carefully.. no big hair to hide under anymore (I will post links and what not when i establish ma Style.. what make-up I use and where am buying my stuff)
Hmm will have to take a picture of Fridays outfit... & show whoever on earth reads this nonsense lol.
So that is Friday & Bday n stuff... actually no.. My NIKES come tomorrow(or so i thought =[ ) Nike IDs to b precise. Ordered them for my 18 but cause they all customiiiised :) they take longerrrr.. but I've been patient they are HARD.. just like my urbanoutfitters headphones ^^ (in picture) ...
Anyhooo today.... like i mentioned before am at friends house.. they are like fam i love them.. crazy as hell but i love them (for that reason too) not just cause of their good food ;) :P ♥
Need to finish of a job application form... i hate those forms... 'telling them how you can contribute'... how about i just can.. now give me money... loool
Am not that money grabbing but i just find CVs & those things highly annoying
Driving lessons.. are progressing.. just a few words and am already depressed about talking about it and I've not yet passed.
I need to get out of Wales man.. London for 1 week will do me good.. Jamaica for 8 weeks would do me better and Florida for about 3 to 4 weeks would do me sweet... anything right now.
