Target, getting started...
Today is my second day working at Target. I was trained as a cashier during my first day but today I worked at the Pizza Hut. :)
I like it better at the Pizza Hut because I'm dealing with food! The only challenge is that I'm not quite familiar with their menu yet and also their cash register is obviously a little different from the Target store's cash register. Was quite hectic but my supervisor, Bethany said I did a great job as a new trainee. Sometimes I failed to catch certain of their terms and they speak really soft which I don't understand why. Don't all Americans speak loud?
I'm so thankful I got Sam picked me up to work and then Cathy came picked me back from work. :) You guys should look at the snow around me, it's almost impossible to walk to work, plus I don't have a boots yet! Without their help I think I would have given up this Target job. Cathy and I did grocery shopping for a little while after work then we headed to the French Common Outlet again because Cathy can't resist the temptation of Coach. But after taking a second look of the bag, she decided not to buy because the quality is not as good. It was like a signal to tell her not to buy the bag. I found something nice but I'm not gonna buy it. My next TARGET would be a LV. I had Dunkin' for my dinner, love the maple frost & Dunkin' Coffee. Love their tag: American runs on Dunkin' :)
Collected my first paycheck from Target I laughed, it is just a USD30. Gotta head to bank later to bank in the check. As for now, I'm kinda enjoying myself alone in the room listening to Missy Elliot. Generally, today is a good day! :)
P.S. Mama & Papa, do not worry about me because I'm lucky enough to have nice people around to help me with things. I'm going home soon and I can't wait to go home! I miss you both!

Saratoga Wilton Mall
For a shopping lover like me, how can I miss the chance to visit the Wilton Mall @ Saratoga?
But before that, we went to a warehouse because Cathy wanted to buy the coupon book.
Cathy & her daughter, Amanda
Amanda playing guitar hero (I was told to walk her away from Cathy so that Cathy could buy her X'mas present)
Shop at the warehouse with Cathy.
Then, we shopped at Dick's (part of the mall) and deserts were prepared for shoppers.
I found this Under Armour is made in MALAYSIA! I'm not gonna buy it but I'm proud of it!
Instead, I bought myself an Under Armour made in Singapore. Sorry.
I love Abercrombie & Fitch so much, its USD 200 and I only need it for a month. Not buying, don't worry mama...
Nice right, Carmen-san...
Merely trying...Looks good on me though ;p
Now the dark brown one.
Another pose. I can't take you home but this picture gonna last forever.
The white long sleeve Abercrombie shirt which I'm wearing above is the one I bought from the shop. Not gonna show it, see me in person...Much more nicer I can assure you. :)
What else have I bought? Shh..Secret. Oh ya, I bought a vest from Forever 21, believe me it's really cheap!!! And a nice shirt from H&M for only 5 bucks! Not gonna show them because its my CNY clothes! Hope I can still wear 'em when I'm back.

Ordinary day
Can't believe I'm watching this movie in America right now. The Guardian (acted by Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner), one of my most favorite movie all the while. Such a best combination and I would never get bored watching it over and over again.
As usual I worked at the water park today and my toes got hit by the surfing board. Thanks to the stupid dumb dumb guest, if not for his arrogance I would not have get another injury from work. My toe was bleeding non stop for awhile. I was asked to go to the first aid and file a report about my injury. Guess what, the first aid supervisor saw all my bruises over my legs and he shaken his head and asked me what did I do to myself. I really have no idea, I guess I'm just too clumsy.
Too many things to worry about lately but let's see how it goes. Can't do much at the moment though. I'm gonna spend my night watching this wonderful movie and get a good rest.
P.S. I got my Thanksgiving week paycheck today. I'm very happy now. At least there's something to be happy about. Peace out.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Hey guys, the winter has arrived!
Are you ready? To see more picture of the winter? Am I ready? For the cold? Haha....
Isn't it beautiful? This is how it looks like everyday I open my door...
Outside my room (left)
Grass covered with snow
The walk to the Great Escape Lodge Indoor Waterpark, walking in the Winter Wonderland
More pictures coming up soon, I will pose more with my beloved Brazilian buddies... They're hot! You'll feel warm having them around even in the cold winter.

Mick Mick
Here's something to blog about my rent collector. He has great sense of humor, he swear all the times, giving everyone nicknames which you never heard people using them before.
I love one of his favorite way of calling people, "POP TART". It's a brand of snack you only see here in America, but it's not tasty. His way of whistling is one of his trademark, a lot of internationals would bring this whistling skills back to their country when they are done with the program, I'm a pro too. :) "Sweeeet" and "Sweetness" are also his favorite quotes.
The following pictures were taken when we went to the banks at Glens Falls to help my Brazilian friend, Babara to cash her traveler check. We ran from one bank to another and none of the banks at Glens Falls accept the check. I wonder why and you can see Mick was really pissed off. But, you find him laughing or smiling in most of the pictures because I did the great job to make him laugh. He just can't get mad at things for too long. All he needs to do is to swear and curse, then he'll be fine.
Bank reject the check?
"Let's get the flock out of here", one shepherd (Mick) said to another (us).
Shoe lace... argggh!
Mick mick's sour face
Mick Mick wearing my hat. Silly Micky!
Mick mick laughing! no way!
Mick is a smart, quick, and funny person. He loves telling his story. We call him daddy too because he treats us like his sons and daughters, he really take good care of us and he got mad when we hang out without telling him where we are going.
I love his cooking very much. When he cook for us, he make sure we do not touch the dishes and he won't eat together. He said:"Have you seen the cook in the restaurant eat together with the guest before?" That's Mick, always tell us lame jokes which came out by himself. I laugh not because his jokes are funny, but he's the one who is funny.
Below are some cooking he done for us. You gotta believe, he said its GOOD SHIT, huh? lolz...I'm gonna post more of his cooking soon. :p I'm gonna miss him and his cooking very much when I'm back home.
Chicken soup pasta
Apple pie
Garlic cheese bread
Chinese style spaghetti
Italian spicy spaghetti (beef)
