What manners?

December 30th 2011 03:35

O hey there interwebzz.

How I have missed your beautiful interface!!!
So happy to be back on Orble and hopefully entertaining some of you great folks with my updates/rants.

So im working now, yes that's right I'm a working class citizen! Nine West is my new home and a jolly one at that !
But as with any retail job there comes the woes of the sales associate. SO! in an effort to entertain and emotionally de-stress. I'm going to be sharing my stories with you. So here is the first of my many, Retail Rants:

So I completely understand the lure of a good deal. And nothing is greater to a bargain hunter than the god sent( consumerist gods that is), boxing day. I usually worked during the Christmas break so I know what to expect. That is until I saw what it was like to work at an outlet, on...boxing day.
Let me ask you one thing interweb, were some of our fellow human beings raised in barns? Because from what I have seen the beautiful illusion of humanity and manners are things of the past. Boxing day, does not give you the right to be rude to the workers. Keep in mind if there are 8 associates on the floor, that still means that 1 person is dealing with a minimum of 10 customers. All with different size feet, and most likely attitudes so big, its a wonder they didnt float on them to the cash desk. So please, the next time you're in a packed store, remember, that when you ask for a size and we have to run to the back to grab it, we're not using magic to find the boxes, we're using step ladders. Don't leave the goddamn store!!! WAIT!!!! It's patience that allowed our world to move forward! Remember, if you ask me for a shoe and you ask with the air of entitlement, I will take my sweet ass time finding your shoe. In an effort to make your retail experience and mine stress free try following these tips:

1. If it's 50% off, don't ask for an extra discount because theres a scratch on the shoe. It makes you look cheap and stupid, what do you think will happen when you wear the shoes?

2.If you're a size 8 don't squeeze your feet into a 6 and ask if they will stretch. No they will not stretch to a size 8.

3. If there is a packed store, Please. Leave your shopping cart out of the store. There will be toes and tempers flaring if you walk through the store with that metal buggy.

4.Smile. Shopping is not painful and if it is, maybe you should be at home ?

5. Remember that the people you are dealing with are humans. Don't be a bitch. It's pointless.

Well that's all for now folks, hope you have learnt something new from the above tips. Or even cracked a sly smile.

xoxo

Dream a little dream of me...

August 25th 2011 03:12

Hey there interwebbz!

Wow, can you believe it ?! It's already August 24th. Summer's almost over here in Toronto, and its now that you find everyone's trying to get out and explore the city before it's covered in snow !

If you're visiting anytime soon, check out The Exhibition, it's right in downtown Toronto. It's got awesome shopping, international and local, games, live music, and pretty much any kinda deep fried food you can think of , lol.

Another AWESOME thing to check out which, personally I got to every year is Busker Fest. It's a street fair where buskers (street performers) from all around the globe come and show their talent. There are fire eaters, acrobats, music, and crazy people that can contort their bodies into shocking shapes

Plus ! its for an awesome cause, epilepsy. So, if you're in Toronto from the 25th to the 28th check that out ! I know i will

Erm, what else is happening? Back to school is coming up... not too excited lol, but it's my last year in high school!!! Is there anything that you suggest doing in my last year ?!

Anyway I guess the last update I wanted to let you guys know is that it's pouring right now ! There's a tornado watch on Toronto so the entire skies being lit by lightening, which is perfect weather to fill you guys in on the summer fun, as it is a reminder that the sun wouldn't be present for as many hours soon !
Let me know what summer fun's in your city, maybe we can turn this whole speaking into the web thing kinda interactive !

So tonight we sleep with the sounds of rain against the windows.
Goodnight Toronto. Sweet dreams

Playlist for this summer

July 3rd 2011 06:18

Hey there interwebbbzzzz,
It's 2:07 am here in Toronto, just another sleepless night here in my household

Don't you love summer? It's when streets come alive with colour and excitement. I will always think of winter as a distinguished, aged -well for his age older gentleman. But summer, summer's his younger nephew that can't wait to shed his clothes and frolick in the fields.

SO! in the spirit of a new season I'm sending my playlist for my new journey out into the interwebs, in hopes that someone out there will pick up a few and jam to them

Enjoy

Maroon 5- Moves like Jagger
Coldplay- Every Teardrop is a waterfall
Derby- If ever there's a reason
Travie McCoy- Want you bad
John Mayer- Your Body is a wonderland
Frank Ocean- Blasted
Frank Ocean-Novacane
Kanye West- Hear em say
Classified- That aint Classy
Awolnation- Sail
Fleetwood Mac-Dreams
Iron and Wine- Boy with a coin
Paper Tongues- Get higher
Mac Miller- Knock Knock ( my guilty pleasure

)
KO- Capable
KO- Summer night love

Well there you are interwebbbzzz, music for your nights, your mornings, and those moments that will make this summer unforgettable.

Something I've needed to tell you

June 23rd 2011 02:37

So im sitting here when this epiphany hits me, I love this kid. Wasn’t it supposed to happen with me looking into his eyes, under a streetlight somewhere? Apparently not, apparently it happens while you’re peeing for the hundredth time after having 2 Arizona’s while he waits patiently outside. It’s only been 2 months, but time was always a weird little bugger(his most used word), slipping through firmly clasped hands, flowing into the cracks we fail to fill.
We all date jerks, but the last one was a waste. You know that quote “don’t hate your ex because at one point in your life he was what you needed?” Well, this was one need I didn’t ever want to be reminded of. His name was Greg and he was the poster child for spoilt rich kids. He thought he was entitled to everything in life, and damn well got it all. We were friends, and when he decided that he wanted to be more the first time, I rejected him. Now I do admit, it could have been more tactically proper, I didn’t need to flirt with him. But I guess what I think is harmless really isn’t. The reason for the rejected was that I didn’t think he was mature enough to be in a relationship. So when I switched schools and learnt my true potential and a safe environment that helped me grow, I guess someone up there decided that there was room for pain once again in my life. So we went out on a date, he asked for the second time to get together and I decided why not? I’ll tell you why not, because your first instinct is always right. If it tells you to run, put those Nike’s on and sprint that stretch.
It was all roses (not really he didn’t quite grasp the concept of wooing) and hearts, as any new relationship. It was the thrill of finding out who this new person was, and how he fit into my life. Now, coming from a first generation immigrant mother from the Caribbean is never a good fit for when you first start to date. I love my mother to death, but there are just some subjects that will always be taboo, dating being one. So there was no telling her about Greg. He was okay with that though… he would take me to work, meet me after school, and hang out with my friends. He wasn’t the cutest and there were a few of my friends that were offset by his constant I’m great attitude. But of course being the supportive friends they were, said nothing to be to ruin the daze I was in. There was a specific moment where I realized that this might not be the relationship I wanted to be in. We were speaking and I had just listened to one of his memories of his boys getting drunk, and I laughed reminded of a memory of my own. When he asked why I laughed, I went to explain, but before I could start, he went on another tangent about something or another. My first thought was, why ask, you don’t care. There was always a lot of listening on my part, and very little on his. It was February and we were 3 months into this relationship and times were tough. He was supposed to meet me one day after school, but never showed, then texted me and said he didn’t have his phone so he couldn’t come see me. This was after 3 weeks of not seeing each other. I was at a loss about what his phone had to do with seeing me… I mean did he suddenly have a heart defibrillator in his phone that was attached to his chest that kept him alive that he couldn’t function without?! Needless to say, it wasn’t working. The last time we saw each other, he had asked to go to the movies. I arrived at the theatre after school early and waited for him, in the boredom of waiting I called a friend and was catching up with her. When he finally arrived, it wasn’t like I had thought. There was no flutter of nerves, well there were, but it was that feeling that you have when you know something’s wrong. When something bad will happen. I didn’t say bye to my girlfriend just at that moment, I knew that the next time I would speak to her something would drastically change. There was no hello peck, we got our tickets and walked in silence. I remember walking into the movie and seeing that there was a substantial amount of couples. We grabbed seats at the back, and as the love filled the seats in forms of clasped hands and stolen kissed, I began to realize just how far Greg and I had drifted. He was seated with his arms folded while I stole side glances to see if it was safe to reach for his hand. I felt that thing in my chest, like someone was holding my heart in a vice grip. The lights dimmed and I remember glancing to my right, there was a couple holding hands, he leaned into her for a kiss that lasted one second but the smile on his face after was almost painfully happy. The entire movie I kept thinking, when will he reach for me? When will he smile? When will one of us say the inevitable? The movie ended with him hating it, and me slowly trying to figure out what happened for the last hour and a half of my life. We walked to the bus stop and I knew something needed to be said, “ Do you ever get that nervous feeling? The one that makes you worried that something bad is going to happen?” The words slipped off my lips and stained the pavement like a bloody punch to the face. “Do I have something to be worried about?” He avoided eye contact, was he really just asking this? “I don’t know, I don’t think so”, the lie fell. We’re standing at the bus stop, he’s shuffling his feet, I think to myself, if the bus doesn’t come in a minute I’ll say something. The headlights beam on me, as if saying here she is God, eyes as bright as the stars save me from the pain. The next hour was blurred with text messages of lost love, drifting, him feeling like he did all the work, me questioning my sanity, tears, and in the end his agreement to try to work it out
