Same time last year, I was out at OU, searching high and low for a part time job..
Oct. 20 2009
I decided .. it is that time of the year again (:
Off I went .. to OU
with high hopes and expectations
only to be let down
once again :/
See, the juice last year, was that I was underage
Fine .. Nothing can be done .. They want 16+ , I was 15 .. no deal
Except for O'Briens, of course, who took me in ..
Man was i grateful (:
So, you ask..
Why am I still looking for a job when I've already got one?
True, but I would really enjoy a new challenge..
Hence, the purpose of the trip to OU today (Besides gettin' a haircut)
Argh
In and out of countless shops ..
It is either ..
The pay was lower than O'Briens..
The pay was equal to O'Briens, except no meal provided..
Part-timers not wanted..
16 yo not wanted..
Boy not wanted..
lol
After an hour or so,
Managed to strike something with TGV, GSC, Fila, and a couple more of others..
Point is ..
most of their salary & benefits aren't half as good as O'Briens..
Haih ..
But, I shall not give up
I, the disciplinarian (Lmao!)
I, the .. uhh.. whatever ..
Will continue to search, be it high or low, for my destiny (:
Ahh, did I tell you, I watched the movie "Once" last night
Ratings : C+ (The critics gave it an A-, though)
it was certainly a very special movie ..
Narrating the lives of "Guy" (Glen Hansard) & "Girl" (Marketa Irglova)
both emotionally wounded by their respective partners
both brought together by their extreme interest & talent in music
Guy with the Guitar, Girl with the Piano
Altho' I believe it was not professionally shot or directed, the storyline is raw, but decent
A movie filled with emotions
emotions in love
emotions in heartbreak
emotions in music
emotions in life..
But
I didn't like it.. Haha.. I think it is beautifully done and all, and Glen & Marketa did well, but .. perhaps i'm not a fan of this "music/performing arts" thingy, y'know?
However, if you are interested in classic-ish musicals and a raw storyline, then give this a shot
Also, regardless if you wanna watch it,
Take a listen to ..
"Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova ..
no doubt one of the most soothing and touching duet i've ever heard in my life..
World Class !
Cheers (:
