Today November 03, 2013 was my first day of training at Market District in the Bakery. I was so excited that I barely got any sleep at night haha. My position is bakery clerk and I already love it! It is pretty busy from morning to about 2 pm and after that it gets a bit slow. Tomorrow (the fourth) I'll be working from late afternoon to night shift. I'm still very excited to be working in the bakery because it is way more fun than being a cashier. I've been a cashier at 3 different hair stores and let me tell you, it is not fun. I had to deal with rude customers and they just create trouble.
I received my name tag, 2 aprons, and slip resistant shoe covers. I really love working so far, but the only down side is that they only give you 15 minute breaks. It is mandatory to get 2 breaks during an 8 hour shift. Honestly, 15 minutes is not enough time to walk all the way to the front of the store, upstairs to the break room, and eat your food. So my idea is to pack a sandwich, keep it in my locker, power walk to the break room and eat quickly. I guess I can save half for my second break. But to put everything into my locker I think I would have to arrive to work at least 20 minutes early. I think I should buy a yogurt parfait or some kind of food and store it in my locker before I start my shift. Market District is big so walking from the front to the bakery can take a bit especially with these short legs of mine. haha.

Some people at special programs (majors) at Kent State University
Hey everyone! This sort of a vent post so beware! Previously, I was a nursing major for 2 years and after it just did not work out for me, I decided to change to public health. During those 2 years I've noticed that cliques still exist! I thought cliques would be over by the time of high school but no they're still around. I just don't understand. Okay, so the cliques at universities might not be quite as bad as it was in my middle school. I've been friends with different groups of people and let me tell you, it's pretty stressful. I'm also friends with people in other majors and the times I've spent with them are super cool and relaxing! When I was with some of my nursing friends, all we talked about was tests, science, more science, grades, GPA's, and stuff like that. Yeah it was pretty boring.
My boyfriend is in this special medical program made up of 35 people. Sorry he doesn't want me calling it out so I'll just leave it as that. As I've said, its a special program for people with the brains for science. Meaning that there are going to be types of people that are douches and bitches. I've met with some of those douches and bitches. Trust me, it isn't fun to be looked down on. Why do they make you feel stupid? Because I'm in the public health program and they're in the special medical program. Plus they're probably thinking, why did he (my boyfriend) pick her? She's just a regular student. Yes I said it! Some people that give their program a bad rep call the other students in the other majors "the regs AKA regulars." The nursing program I used to be in is way more intense than this medical program. But I have never heard any of the nursing students call other students "the regs." Yes, you [medical kids] are in a special program, but you still do all the other normal college student activities on campus! I don't understand what makes you think you are so special!
I want to say some names here but I'll just use the nicknames I have for them. I've met with Polly pocket girl at a table with my boyfriend. I've also met a guy K who is extremely greedy over his food and seeks revenge with people who he holds grudges against. So that day, my boyfriend pretended to want some of K's sushi. K didn't even flinch because he doesn't like sharing when it comes to his food. I took it seriously and took ONE LITTLE PIECE and gave it to him. K gave me a look with his beady eyes. I tried to explain that sharing is caring. Mind you, he had 2 containers of sushi and a giant meal plan. Sharing one piece isn't that hard. So we were trying to mentally calculate the price of one piece of sushi in that container. I can't remember the numbers, but the answer was 60 cents per sushi. I said 75 cents because I was guessing and I suck at mental math. Ms. Polly Pocket was like "No, its 60 cents." Her facial expression was saying "that was so easy and you're stupid if you can't do a simple math problem. That's why I'm in this program and you're not." She talked to me like she knew everything and thought that I was stupid. You know those types of people who think they know everything and talk to other people as if they're dumb? Yes those people. I still dislike her and I know a bunch of people that dislike her. I can't believe she actually has friends.
It has been 1 month since the sushi stealing and K still holds a grudge against me and tells the incident over and over to a bunch of people in his program. Every time we see each other, he reminds me of it. If I had a bowl of soup and an oreo smash cake slice, he would say, "Can I take that?" Of course I say, "no," because I'm a poor commuter. I feel like he is trying to make people dislike me and after hearing that he's been repeating the same story to people, I've felt a lot of sadness. I cried about it to my boyfriend and I've cried myself to sleep last night. I'll admit that it is tearing me apart. It might be to the point where I might break down as soon as we cross paths. But there is a small group of people that are extremely nice and friendly. Love you guys! It is just those two people for now that really bother my life at the moment.
By the way, last year I paid my own tuition, applied for my grants, paid for my food, paid for my books, and all my mom did was pay for car repairs and gas. Those special medical students have everything paid by their parents and some of them probably never worked a day in their life. Do you know what it feels like working 44 hours every week for 3 months in the summer? Not being able to have fun like everyone else? You have no right to look down and me and think that I'm stupid just because of how I act and what my major is. You treat someone how you want to be treated. You treat me like trash, you get the horns.

20 Years Old And Still on a Leash
Hey everyone! Today's post gonna be about my life and how frustrated I am with it. I'm Asian and my parents believe that boys get more privileges than girls. So being a girl I'm not allowed to do anything my brother does such as sleep overs. My mom doesn't believe it is lady-like to go and sleep at someone's house. But she says nothing to my brother who is still in high school and goes to sleep overs with his friends. My mom stopped me from going to sleep overs after 6th grade. My mom also believes age doesn't matter for freedom. I'm 20 and my mom still keeps me on a leash. I do see my boyfriend on campus everyday but we don't get our privacy due to his roommate not giving us any. So when his roommate leaves for the weekend, we would have our time together. The problem is that my mom is so controlling to the point where she won't even let me see him on the weekends. By the way I'm a commuter so I drive to and from campus. My parents don't understand what privacy is or what having a boyfriend is because neither of them had relationships like I did. In my opinion, I think they were just lonely people who couldn't get dates or weren't interested in their younger days. I believe dating other people and having break ups is a life lesson. It also helps you figure out what types of people appeal to you. (I think it helps for marriage).
My mom has been keeping me on a leash for as long as I can remember. There are some other things I want to get out. When I was in elementary and middle school I was a bit chubby for my age. As soon as I got to 7th grade my mom told me I couldn't wear skirts or dresses anymore just because my booty was getting a little too big. So from then on, I wasn't allowed to wear those types of clothes. I'm in college now and I have lost some weight compared to my high school days. But I'm still not as slim as my mom would like for me to be to wear skirts/dresses. Its like she wants me to feel even more self conscious of myself to have a pancake booty. She only allows me to wear bodycon skirts because it fits to my figure. I've always wanted to wear breezy summer skirts or dresses but she says it will accentuate my slightly chubby figure. I'm still self-conscious about my body even though I am smaller than I was in high school.
Back to my age. I'm 20 years old, 3rd year in college and you'd think I'd have freedom by now. I still have a 9 to 9:30 pm curfew which I think is utterly ridiculous. I have a friend who's mom is a cop and she still didn't really have a set curfew. For my mom, I think the age 20 means age 15. I really can't wait to get out of this house. But I don't have a job or money to live on my own. So I'm stuck here for a few years. I have never wanted to move out so much. My parents really frustrate me, especially my mom despite our good mother-daughter relationship.

My mom's birthday cake!
Hey there! I made this a few years ago, but to this day I love how it turned out! I hope I can make it again! I mean I can but I usually try new cake recipes. Here it is:
I didn't know how to make the cake from scratch so I cheated by using Betty Crocker Chiffon cake mix. And I don't remember the recipe I used for the cream; all I know is that I used whipped cream and sugar. In Korea this type of cream is called 생크림 and through translator it's just cream. Still it's very light sugar and fluffy. I designed this topping based on a korean cream cake picture. I think the fruits used are the same, but the design is different. It was delicious and next time I think I'll be baking the cake from scratch! Thanks for reading!
Shortcake with nutella buttercream
Hello blog viewers! I didn't have a car for a week and I was stuck in the house. So today I decided to bake a shortcake with nutella buttercream frosting! The cake recipe I used is from a Youtube channel called ochikeron. And the nutella buttercream is from this other blogsite, but I added some of my own ingredients and also changed the recipe to my liking. The topping I used is confectioner's sugar, but if I had different ones I would have used white chocolate shavings, coconut shavings, or fruits. I wanted to make a strawberry shortcake like the one that ochikeron made, but I didn't have strawberries or heavy cream. So yesterday we picked up my mom's car from the repair shop (which was the reason why I did have my car because she was using it for the time being) and we stopped at Heinen's grocery market. They can be a bit pricey like Giant Eagle, but I know I fell in love with the baking aisle because they also had ghirardelli chocolate baking bars! So I bought parchment paper and cake flour. Anyway here are the pictures of the final results!
It is actually too thin because my cake pan is 9 by 2 inches. I should have used a 6 by 3 inch pan or something. Meh, I guess there is always next time! Yum! It was good :)

Letting Out Everything!
So for a few months I've been holding a grudge against my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. But now, I have a wonderful new boyfriend that grudge faded away. In the past I had unfriended her and blocked her on Facebook. I want to start fresh, so I sent her a friend request and of course she tells him. He texted me asking why I sent the request. He is one of those people who don’t understand what cheating is. When I tried to explain to him what cheating means (going out and doing stuff with another person of interest without the significant other knowing) but he said "if the other person doesn't know it’s okay." DUDE THAT'S CHEATING! His response to that was "No it’s not. It's okay as long as the other person doesn't know." Isn't that what I just said?? What planet are you from?? *Face Palm*
Anyway, my new awesome boyfriend is a close friend of my ex's. My current boyfriend said that I should tell my ex that we're dating. I didn't want to but I did. And wow my ex is a big hypocrite who is also in a long distance relationship told me that my current boyfriend wouldn't have time for me because of the medical program at our college (going to the same college). What made him a hypocrite was when he said it wouldn't work out because it’s a long distance relationship (THE FUCK?). First off, he doesn't know the facts. The fact is that my boyfriend and I are going to be attending the same school. He gets things done quickly and he will make time for me. My ex is such a douche! He still tries to manipulate me and it’s about 3 years since we broke up! I wanted to cut off communication with him but he insisted that we keep being friends. What a mistake that was!
He doesn’t want me talking his girlfriend because it would cost his relationship if she knows we talked… (His girlfriend is a few years older than him so I guess I understand why he’s afraid… she’s also crazy.) I dislike her but stopped holding a grudge on her. So after his text message, it turned into a small argument/discussion. I’m upset but I don’t want to bother my boyfriend because he just graduated high school today. By the way my boyfriend and I are 2 years apart. I’m almost 20 as of this post. He turned 18 in April. It might seem weird but he’s a very smart and the sweetest awkward guy I ever met. Haha. He knows a lot of random facts and he is really romantic… Guess what he likes? Poetry! haha. Makes sense right? Well letting all this off of my chest makes me feel way better. I think I’m happy, but I wish my boyfriend would give me a hug right now (He loves to give hugs).
Thank you for your time to read my feelings! Ciao!

Mozzarella Cheese Alfredo Pasta Bake!
Today is New Years Day and my parents were both sick. So for dinner I decided to make my first Mozzarella Cheese Alfredo Baked Pasta. I created my own recipe after reading through some other recipes online. I had an idea of what ingredients I needed and later I added some extra things.
First you need a box of whatever pasta you choose. I only had linguine so I broke them into thirds. You need some shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Milk, Butter/margarine, 2 Alfredo sauces, and 2 eggs. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly Beat the eggs and set aside.
Follow the directions on your pasta box and boil your pasta. I added extra virgin olive oil and some salt. Drain your pasta.
I should have used a larger bowl but mix your drained pasta and eggs together.
ADD 2 TBS of milk and 1 TBS Butter or Margarine. Mix.
After mixing, put your pasta and alfredo sauces into your pot and set stove to low heat.
ADD half of the pasta mixture into your foiled pan or dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the first layer. 
Then add the rest of the pasta on top of the cheese layer.
I like it slightly spicy so I added crushed red pepper. Garnish your pasta with Parsley flakes.
This is the finished dish! It was a little dry but I guess I'll have to use more butter next time.
