This is a blog segment/series where I share what happened in the last month. Recently I have been working non-stop and neglecting this series, what a surprise! So this is a 4 month masterpost smooshed into one. 

Disclosure: THIS SITE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. (MORE INFO)

From what I can remember of the last few months is written in a sheet of paper and a journal i write in while at work. if you don’t know yet, im a caregiver now and I’ve been doing that since around December. It’s fun but sometimes can get tiring! Later on, I’ll explain but my friend and i have this journal thing going on and I update her on my life in that journal! FUN!

my husband was laid off from amazon in feb, so he hasn’t been working lol im not worried (anymore) because he seems to have a lot in savings so whatever, im really just going to focus on me and try to get more money in my wallet because i dont want to be depending on noone. so i have been working nonstop which is why i haven’t been blogging. i slowly am getting back to it because I’m not working every day anymore. let’s chat more below!

enjoy my monthly memories june 2022! (feb to june lol)

MONTHLY MEMORIES FEB TO JUNE 2022

The following are my favorite moments from the month.

feb 9th: cat appointment!

finally i got my cats a doctor appointment! my cat beba hasnt had a visit in so long, i actually never took her to see a doc when i got her as a gift (kinda, she literally just showed up in my room one day). anyways i took both my babies to the doctor. funnily enough, the kitten just got in heat 2 nights before her surgery! can you believe it! i was so happy because oh my gosh it was a nightmare, you could not sleep at all because of her crying! so luckily the next day i already had an appointment for her. then the vet told me to bring back beba a month later for a free booster shot (temper shot?) and so that’s why i got an appointment for march.

my annoying march cat appointment!?

so yall i had a horrible appointment. i was being charged $18 for a shot when the vet told me it would be free. so i brought it up and all the girls at the counter started to get defensive and saying, no this shot can NEVER be free. etc etc..

i told them well what was the vet saying about something being free today? its obviously going to be free if one of your vets said “come back and it will be free”, in the end it was free lol i actually did bimbofication… i acted like a baby, and they kind of fell for it. if you don’t know what i mean well, i found this trick on tiktok lol all you have to do is act like you dont know what anyone is talking about even though you know what they’re talking about but you just pretend you don’t so they can see how stupid they are. just basically match their energy in a less aggresive way? something like that. if you’re interested in learning more well let me know because i followed the tiktoker that explained this lol she’s actually really smart

anyways, these people…they DID not admit to their mistakes once or apologize but it ended nicely. i was left paying only $3 for a waste fee.

i dont want to rant much but i left them a review so everyone can see how petty they are, childish and unwilling to admit to their faults.

my other annoying march appointment!? GETTING MY HAIR RUINED

so i got another messy appointment and this one has to do with my hair.  i randomly decided to get a haircut at a salon my friend suggested because i asked her where she would cut her hair. she hasnt been to this spot because she moved away. so turns out everyone was pretty much new, and my hair got ruined by one of the new girls. i left an honest review about how the lady who cut me and my husbands hair sucked and how another lady nearby did her clients hair EXACTLY how i wanted mine, i even showed my hair cut lady pictures and she still did it like you see below. but while im editing this, i noticed my reviews were deleted. this review and my review for the cat appointments! I’ll be honest guys I never deleted a review when we got our restaurant so that just shows how sketchy those places are.

Here’s my tiktok video on the situation lol

@dearkiki 🥴 

so my hair was looking so cute beforehand.  now it is finally grown out so im super happy to get another haircut with my original stylist. i love her so much i take her for granted :/

opening a balance transfer card with citibank

so i opened another credit card to get rid of my bank of america bills. so now i won’t get charged much on boa and will have to pay off $4k I really am trying my best but it was difficult because of one of my clients i had i was driving her to work like a bimbo thinking i can help out someone but, nope, not possible. I’ll talk more about her in the next section.

my citibank card is great but i keep forgetting it isn’t a visa which means that i have to use my boa card whenever i shop at costco. so i have been telling my husband to let me use his card so that i dont have to use my boa card hehehe. that’s what i need to do because well he hasn’t had a job since february so he needs to help his gal out and not let me get these bills too high, right? yes. what are these men for? kidding but not really.

so now i have two credit cards to work on. i will be paying off my boa card fully because i don’t want them taking out so much interest fees :/ it’s okay, we got this!

SAYING GOODBYE TO MY ONLY FAV KPOP BOYGROUP – nuest disbanded in march?

so if you don’t keep up with the kpop world, don’t worry, i don’t either. I only got into kpop mostly because of this boygroup called nu’est. i also love a few other groups like lovelyz (they disbanded) wjsn, fromis9, etc. but i never liked a group like i liked nuest. they were true underdogs, but mostly because of their company. well, they disbanded in march and yes i was sad, but also happy because i don’t like their new company HYBE. They disbanded gfriend and i hate that they did that. they disbanded nuest the same month they debuted. it’s almost done on purpose so that BTS could be that group that has had their same members for 10+ years. Nu’est was the first one too do that, except they disbanded them. no hate on bts, its more so the company for trying to disband them in that time just for bts to get that title. but it doesnt matter, because apparently Korea hasn’t accepted their disbandment either, they still treat nuest as if they’re an active group. i wont explain further because its all over my twitter and i don’t really want to get into it, im just happy now that they are active and doing other things. although i do want more music from them, im fine with how things are now.

but, i ended up buying their last album! i also decided to sell some of their items that i don’t want and am trying to find items of theirs that i do want! do you happen to collect any kpop merch?

my trump supporter ‘friend’ – meet trump queen?

so, i made a trump supporter friend (or did i?)

i became a bimbo around march.

୨୧ i wrote a tldr because i dont like remembering negative stuff ୨୧

one of my clients was chill until i found out she was a trumper, then she convinced me (made me feel guilty enough) to help her more than i could afford aka driving her from work back home and some days on mornings for 15 min and then at night to “complete the hour” since she can’t afford me. i left this client in april 13 and have been supa happy and stress free since! i hate when people take advantage of my niceness… liek yes i understand you have CP BUT… i need to make money and we are not friends and i dont help people for free…

feb and april: hanging with nonis!

onto something less frustrating, i went out with my friend like 3 times. I ended up writing to her in a notebook like we used to in hs and i usually write about my day in there like a daily journal and more like a diary. when i see her again i will give her the notebook to read lol she will be overwhelmed for sure.

we went to a mall the second time we hung out and i found my true love, i heart mac and cheese!

it’s a cute restaurant that includes vegan items! i later brought my husband and we ordered from there for the first time ever. i didn’t take any pictures because it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing lol and also i was hungry. we ate it at a mall that i went to with my friend. that’s really it. i haven’t seen my buddy since, she lives like an hour away from me now.

vegan food i ate

chinatown food for a bday date (and other vegan foods)

i went out to chinatown and i wanted to go to this vegan chinese food place that’s really the best place ever! it’s honestly one of the best places to eat at, not just VEGAN places. SO haha surprise, i didnt take any pictures at all. not sure why, but here’s other food i had eaten around the same time!

• first i had a whole foods sandwich. its so delicious has mayo avocados and tempeh. i decided to stop buying them because i found a hair in one of the bowls, im not sure if it was mine or not but i was kinda grossed out. also i had a weird thing happen with the pizza guy at whole foods and i even told the store manager about it, he def got reprimanded because the next time i saw him he was super nice to me! but i wondered if he possibly also makes the food other than pizza, so yeah don’t recommend
• I got a wrap from the pantry and i added falafel
• egg sandwich with sausages
• impossible sandwich, i got the patty from the pantry! it was delicious but not as good as beyond meat.
• in the second picture i ate pizza, it’s so delicious but i adds a bunch of stuff to make it incredible, like lentils, other cheeses spices and well you just have to try it to understand!
• burger i made, i think it was a chicken patty.
• another burger but from this vegan place called The Black Vegan Restaurant. Also ordered fries and a gyro. the gyro was delicious and addicting but it wasn’t as good as another gyro from a vegan spot i used to go to, its far tho. I will order it soon again to show you all lol. also ordered spicy mushroom nuggets.
• in february i went to pfchangs with my friend, the bowl of noodles is what i had. it was pretty darn delicious

MAY: selling my items new depop, vinted and soyvirgo.com (soon)!

i finally made a new depop. why? all because i wanted to collect my kpop merch lol so i made one and now i started to upload my stuff. i still hate depop because of them kicking me out for selling fake bags but theyre real lol i guess they believed ONE teen because i got upset at them for harassing me to sell her an item when i didn’t want to because she looked like a scammer. i should have just ignored her because 100% she was the reason i got kicked off depop after 5 years.

anyways, i made a new account and also i made a vinted account! im not sure why i do all this when i could just upload them on my shop, i mean, it would def bring more traffic to my site. i will be doing that to my more expensive items for sure. i made my first sale on depop by the way, but the person is ignoring me and won’t leave me a review. i hate when people do that but hopefully theyre just busy and haven’t even opened my package.

UPDATE: THEY KICKED ME OUT OF DEPOP AGAIN AND IM NOT SURE WHY! THEY HATE MEE… BUT I THINK I STILL HAVE AN ACCOUNT UP LOL 

MAY 30: leaving another horrible client and getting a new one!

I ended up leaving a client i had since february and told them my last day would be May 30th. i was tired of them (mostly the daughter) treating me like a maid. nothing wrong with that, but being a maid wasn’t my job.

update: i ended up working for them again because it was just the best option for me… i have gotten closer to the family and i love my job. we also dont have an agency bothering us so they just pay me outta pocket and it’s been going pretty well so far!

JUNE 11: VEGANDALE FEST

i went to vegandale! i just randomly saw an ad on instagram and decided to go, i just had to! i never even thought there would be a vegan fest, it was my first-time hearing of them. in late May, I decided to buy the tickets!

it was okay because it was hot, i couldn’t find the park because there’s literally no signs. we have to walk in the heat, it’s not big enough, the lines were long after 3 hours. I went to see these places and i recommend them:

• Penelope’s Vegan Taqueria (@penelopesvegantaqueria) • i had an elote and dragonfruit horchata the elote was seriously amazing and im gonna keep eating them! the horchata was also super delicious
• Ida’s Artisan Ice Cream (@idasartisanicecream) • the icecream i had were like a blueberry flavor and lemon flavor. i loved both! they’re just so different than every other flavor there is, at least the ones they sell in stores.
• Vegan Thick Eatery (@vegan_thick_eatery) • i had birria tacos (pictured) and an elote. the elote was just as good but they are a different style that i don’t really like, i prefer the ones from my childhood, i guess im just obsessed with them since i had them young. they’re the best thing ever. but the birria tacos were absolutely delicious! the sauce was so amazing too
• bz tea: i had a delicious chicken wrap. i hate wraps so that’s how i know this wrap is AMAZING. I also took a hibiscus drink. the drink was better than the ones i make, can you believe it?

it was a really fun time but at some point i was feeling bad and wanted to leave but im glad i had that delicious food. i can’t wait to go to another vegan fest!

other days: income gigs and random stuff!

• I am really happy with my caregiving job!
• I was able to sell some kpop merch that I’m trying to get rid of hehe i also set up my depop again and other apps to sell my stuff.
• also, my old landlord told me to dog sit! i will finally be paid to take care of animals! i want to also try house sitting or pet sitting so this will be my first client!
• my cousin is going to mexico and said to drive her family to the airport this is another job i got for the month of July!
