work update: i'm still not sure what i want to do, should i stay or should i go? deep deep down, a little nagging voice is telling me that i should have stayed away and not come back to lomark, that i should have just applied myself into looking for another job. another nagging voice is telling me to go to school and get my credentials, to finish what i had originally started and become a teacher. one little devil on my shoulder is telling me to try to make it in the 'biz' and get some headshots done, another little devil is telling me to apply for a manageral position at nordstrom. But another little devil on my other shoulder is saying, get over it, that i made the right choice by staying and settling for this job because it is paying the bills of now and the future..., but what kind of future can i build on this salary? yes, it's a VERY generous starting salary for what i am doing right now, especially since i originally had no skills for this job, but how generous is it going to be in the next couple of years when i want to start a family, when i have more expenses? will it be enough? will the company grow? i guess i'm just curious to know when my salary will cap off and worried about my future. normal right? check out this site: www.collegegrad.com it's actually a very interesting site that quotes you the 'today' salaries in the job market, the low, median, and highest of salaries people are, or should be making in any particular city and state. why can't life just be simplier? why does everything have to revolve around money?
wedding update: i found a photographer which is a friend of mine, john louie of dream factory studios. i go into his studio every once in awhile and model for him when he has free time. he somehow thins me out a whole lot with camera angles and stuff, and it's hard to believe that it's me in pictures sometimes, but i know he works really good with lights and shadows. he also makes my boobies look a lot bigger than they really are. haha

i also talked to a friend of mine that does makeup and she agreed to do mine next year. i met angelina last year when i did the indie film, 'dai fu blues' and she played my character's sister. angelina used to work at nordstroms for shisedo, but is working on her modelling and acting career. she's really purty and super nice. she does an awesome job with makeup too, she did my sister in-laws back in august and it was flawless, so i'm excited that she agreed to do mine.
parkin and i decided on what we WANT to have for our wedding favors, but we're not positive yet because of the price. i found another site that has a similar product for a cheaper price, but it's still going to be a good chunk of change considering how many guests we will be having. plus i want to be able to give favors to everyone, not just for
parkin and i will be looking at another church this weekend. we haven't had the time to go church shopping for a really long time and i really need to book one soon. i feel like we've just been so busy since our engagement, that we haven't had time to just lounge like we used to.
we thought that we were going to do that tonight. since we didnt' go to jana's, we were going to have a quiet dinner, watch some tv and go to bed early. we've been so tired these past couple weeks, it's like we just haven't had enough sleep to get us through the days. i wanted to make a couple of new cd's for my car because i was due for a new alternative cd, so i had a list ready to go, but there were little problems here and there, plus mr jung is such an anal organizer that whatever songs that i uploaded, he had to make sure that they were labelled correctly with the name of the song - artist and album even track number.... geez, my anal ass boyfriend is too organized for MY own good. it just trips me out what goes through his mind sometimes, and amazes me that he thinks like that. i bet he never has any jumbled thoughts in his head like i do, even his train of thoughts are probably organized in one way or another. we didn't even finish making the 2nd cd because it was already 11:00 when we, i mean he finished the first! i'm pooped from all of his hard work. ;) thanks honey
i leave you with pictures from last weekend's trip. night x2
