Ok I got the waitressing job at the other restaurant now. It's a modern Asian restaurant that's really busy. I don't know why I keep picking the busy places. Yes of course I screwed up if you are wondering. At least they are nice about it unlike the experience I had when I was young. Tonight I felt like I was working in a fast food chain because I was doing the takeaway section. Anyhow, everyday I get 1 or 2 free meals, and eating my free southeast Asian meal at the beach after work is well worth the labour. I'm just afraid I won't be able to save much money and pay off my debts. Yes, I have gone below zero point now...in this damn reality.

I started looking at clothes. Shopping is cheap and good here, but I still haven't found anything that is good enough for me to buy. I have to watch my funds too, so I would only buy if it fits me great and the price is right. There was this weekend market at the main strip where you can wear different styles by playing with 2 pieces of cloth. That's the best design I've seen so far for multi-wear clothing here. If I'm making more $, I really want to buy it! Every style looked so good on me, but it's $85 Au. It's not expensive but it is compared to the clothes here. In Vancouver, bathing suits cost like $120? Here it's like $50 Canadian for the same stuff!

I was hustling to get work clothes last minute. While I was at the mall, I got called for an interview for a receptionist position at an architectural firm. So I had to buy corporate clothes which I didn't bring with me for some reason. I actually found a decent pair of shoes and black skirt at thrift stores, cool! However, there have been a pair of shiny black leather shoes I've been eyeing for 2 weeks. The last pair was gone on the same day I needed it!! F$#%!

Back to that receptionist position. I went for the interview and I really want the job now eventhough it's in the city. The duties include web maintenance and photoshop stuff, and I'm sure the pay is good also. But I kind of like living by the beach right now, especially after heading to the city again, I felt the city-ness isn't what I am really into. It's not happening until January so I'll see what happens.

So the German girl and one of the Brazillian guys left. Since then, there have been no new roommates. The Brazillian guy I'm staying with has been sweet to me. He brought me hisbiscus flowers from the tree twice, a top sz. L (from Salvation Army?), and an used Bhagavad Gita book. I'm surprised because he makes fun of my yoga. We would call each other now to see where we are at. One day he took me to the Brazillian restaurant to eat Acai (good fruit from Brazil- anti-oxidant with caffeine/energy boost, same as match).

I have spoken with the German girl I met at the first hostel, and she might stay with me for a week at Manly! She's had it rough, someone spiked her drink, stole her stuff, went to the hospital for 5 days (LSD in drink?), and her backpacker pals ignored her (blamed on her? weird people). I think she's going to chill out for a week and then go back home. Maybe I'll convince her to stay in Australia with me.

I want to find a place soon because hostel is really expensive! I don't want to find any place yet because I have to see what my job situation is. I don't want to stay in city now but if the receptionist job is happening then I can't say no.

The weather has been a bit chilly, with clouds. It's ok because the sun is too hot for me sometimes, and my facial skin gets messed up from it too.
