02.12.12 - I've joined the herd!!!!

I finally FINALLY got my tax return. I was kind of freaking out because I had just mailed the house bill and I was short $100. But it came in late that same night. Anyway, I also told myself that I would use that money to get rid of T-Mobile and get an iPhone and get Sprint. I know I know...I didn't want an iPhone but...for some reason I've been craving for it for the last few months!

Anyway... yesterday, Dad went to SF to talk to the guy that owes us money and cuz he was freaked about about us taking him to court, he gave us MOST of the money back. It made Dad quite happy too since right after, he went and bought a used car. I think Mom was happy about it too cuz she didn't bitch about it...AT ALL!

Because of Dad buying the car (they did it in SF), my bro had to drive up here in my Dad's other car (truck). My bro stayed overnight and they left here at 7:00pm. 

I told myself that once I got my tax return, I would get the iPhone. And when my brother came up here, I was like "OMG perfect timing! We'll upgrade/downgrade (??) his plan so we could have a family plan". Since he's with Sprint too. Then I realized that he wanted to upgrade his phone and it'll be in awhile before he could. So if he changed his plan, I don't think he'd be able to get a new phone. So I said forget it because it was only $4 cheaper if we went on a family plan.

This morning, it seemed as if they were going to go back to SF early (Dad was to drive my bro back) but they didn't. My Dad wanted to go out and "show off" in the new car *snorts*. He wanted to take us to the Vacaville Outlets but none of us really wanted to go. He wanted to take us to eat dim sum, but none of us wanted to go. It made me feel kinda bad. But then he got a call to check out someone's house to get an estimate on (to fix it). 

My bro and I headed out. The first place we went to was Best Buy. I decided to go there cuz I thought my bro would be bored if he was going to wait for me to get my stuff activated. Unfortunately, they didn't have the one I wanted. :/ After wandering a bit, we headed off to the Sprint store which was directly across the street (Lol). 

According to the sales-dude, there was an error when porting (lol) my # to Sprint. He said that it should work tomorrow... 

My bro and I went to my workplace and I got a cheap-o case and a screen protector...then went grocery shopping. Then, went home. I was getting a KILLER HEADACHE. We watched some movies on the computer, had lunch and the parents tried going to SF but there was traffic and they ended up staying longer.

Once we got home from our expedition (above), I charged my phone. I was sad to see that it wasn't activated but it was okay. Once the parents and my bro left, I started inputting contacts. A few minutes after I started, I had service. 

 After I input all my contacts, I put on the screen protector (there are still widdle air bubbles! I'm not talented enough!) and put on the case.

The flash made it blinding. I wanted to get a different case but I liked it cuz it was sleek. Little did I know how SLEEK and SLIPPERY iPhones are! The case makes it not as slippery but it's still slippery. 

Went on eBay and purchased some Little Twin Stars' iPhone cases. I can't wait for them to arrive! Yay I get to have my slew of cutesy cases. Mwahahahah!

10.26.11 - I never know what to title these things

I've spent the whole day whining and complaining about T-Mobile. Guess what!? I'm STILL whining and complaining about them! I've been with them for 10 years and they treat me like crap! -_-; Ugh! 

Spent the day wondering which cellphone provider to go with. I think my choice is going to be with Sprint. My bro has it. He gets a discount on it. If we do a family plan it'll be about $65 (must add tax to that and I have no idea how much that'll be ;P). 

I know I don't need a smartphone and etc. Sadly, I do need it. I check my dad's email every 10 minutes. My dad loves clicking on every little thing! That's how we ended up with viruses on our desktop and spyware and etc. Also, since I've opened up my store(s)... I've been getting a lot of email! And it helps to know if I've received any orders, so I won't slack off once I get home from work. 

Text messages are a must also. I barely call anyone anymore XD For work, I have to text my manager and store managers ALL THE TIME! X_x; (Unfortunately, they don't pay for them! Which is quite unfortunate!)

They should just have a phone plan that's just text messaging and data @__@; That's it! No phone calls! XD I think a LOT of people would go for it! Though, I admit I use about 100 minutes a month. 

Anyway! During my lunchbreak, I called T-Mobile's customer service line and the lady, Joanna, told me that "the representative you talked to last month didn't do anything to your account. It DOES say they talked to you about the over-charges, but they didn't do anything about it. I'll go ahead and credit that for you." I'm thinking, "That's what they said before! What makes you think I'll believe you again!?!"

I'm so fed up with them! :(

Lol! It's the next day from above :) My dad went to SF and stayed over (maybe even for a few days). I wish Mom had gone too. Then I would have the freedom to do whatever. Now, Mom's just going to nag and nag. Isn't that what they do? ;)

Anyway, the reason Dad went back was because the crazy grandma was a little crazy (again). The parents were away for a month to re-do our SF house so they could rent it out. The last few tenants that we rented out to left because of the crazy grandma. The last one too.

So they've re-done it and they've put ads in the paper (Chinese paper, of course ;P) and people have been calling to take a look at it. When they arrive, the crazy grandma would NOT let them in!!!! :/

Which made the parents quite mad. Renting out downstairs is my parents only income! Another thing she had done in the past was lower the rent without telling us! X__x; WTF!?!

Anyway...that's why my Dad went back.

At work yesterday, all the supervisors (including me) were in a panic. Supposedly today until Friday...we're having our corporate office visit (inspection). So we've been busy getting our things in order. I've finished most of my stuff (I didn't say I was completely finished). The sad thing is...throughout working on these items... the day was SUPER SLOWWWWWWW!!!! Usually if I keep busy, the day goes by really fast. @_@;

I want to buy a tabletop grill. I want some grilled chicken. I don't really like the sauteed/stir-fry chicken we always make. I don't know why I love grilled chicken, but I do. ^_^; I'll probably get one soon. They're not that expensive. (at least the cheap ones)

According to my tracking number from USPS, my supply order for my eyeshadows are in. I ordered some new ingredients for some upcoming holiday collections and some for my regular colors ;P

Lalalala! I want some cute pens XD Totally random! Ooh, I'm going to check out atseoul and shopkawaii for some. Oh no...I have a feeling money will be spent ;)

10.25.11 - WTF T-mobile!?!

Last month you charged me for my texts. I HAVE UNLIMITED! HOW THE HECK AM I CHARGED!? So I spoke to a representative -_-; She said "yeah you don't have to pay it, it won't show up in your next bill." 

Yesterday, I was seriously thinking about switching to a different company so I checked my bill and what do I see? I WAS STILL CHARGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!?

I've been with T-Mobile for a LOOONG time. I believe in 2001! Unfortunately for me, I JUST renewed my plans! Unfortunately for me, that's when everything went downhill! 

Ughhh!!!!! I can't afford the cancellation fee and those over-charges!!! The charges are $60+!!!!! I want to just cancel it. Shouldn't it make any difference that I've been with them for so long?! :/
