Should You Go to Prom? - Kahara Thursdays Ep.2

It's prom season!  


While most of you high school seniors are probably super excited about the big day, I would suggest that you calm the fuck down and lower your expectations.  Chances are, 9/10, prom will not meet your fairy tale expectations.  So, I'm doing you a favour by bursting your bubble now.  You're welcome :)

 
That's about to be your dream of prom ^  Brace yo self

Prom isn't all picture perfect like you see in the theatres.  That beautiful slow dance?  Chances are, YOU WON'T HAVE IT WITH PRINCE CHARMING

Planning on doing the boom jiggity jiggity with your prom date?
If it's just for the sake of doing it, I beg, please don't.
Just don't don't don't - that's stupid.


Maybe this is more of an American thing, but there are so many stories about teens  
doin' the dirty on prom night.  I live in a pretty Asian dense area, so most of the kids I went to school seemed pretty conservative .... well, as far as I could see. 
I didn't necesarily hang out with the people you would label as being the "cool kids"
Some might call me a....


I mean, no, I'm super cool :)

There are plenty of cute promposal videos floating around on the internet, but that 
doesn't guarantee that you will be on the recieving end 
of one of these choreographed proposals.



Gotta hand it to you dudes, though. Setting up this shit
looks this a flat out bitch and a half.

Like for that second one, how the hell do you get everybody to practice without havingthe girl know?

You just tell her that everybody in the school is practicing for some dance competition?
A lot of people might be wondering:
How do you know so much about your prom?  You didn't go.
My friends filled me in.
Instead of going to prom, I decided to meet up with my friends
after the event.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HIS SHITTY VENUE
JEWEL BALLROOM CAN SUCK MY LADY DICK
My friend and I had to hardest time finding that damn
place, because whoever designed their website
fucked up
On the bottom of their website, they have their address.  
 That's to be expected

HOWEVER
when you CLICK on the link to launch google maps...




I know you're all smart people, so I'll let you spot the difference on your own.

Lemme tell you, it was a cold night, I spent the longest damn time
to find that shack.

I've personally emailed those fuckers at the ballroom to fix it, and that was a year ago.
Guess what they haven't fixed yet.

Hey, Jewel Ballroom



Should you go to prom, hope you have a good time.
Just keep your bits clean ;)

Fast Food Problems - Kahara Thursdays Ep.1



This time, I rant about a certain problem I have with working at a fast food chain:  
Extra sauce

Generally speaking, work itself isn't that bad. It's the customers with emotionally low EQ that put my day in the shitter.  Like I mentioned in the video, my boss has instructed us burger servers to charge customer who request for extra sauce.  Sometimes I get so much shit for just doing my job.

BOSS: Make sure we're enforcing the new policy.  
$0.10 for extra sauce.


ME: "Yeah, man. I can do this, no problem."


Little did I know, the people would not take kindly to the new policy.
They would not take kindly to it at all :(


I usually work in the drive-thru
Let me give you a brief run down on how our particular drive thru is set up


As seem in my beautiful diagram, it is clear drive your fat ass through the various station to get your grub.

During the course of any given shift, at least one person asks for extra sauce at the second window.


 When I tell people it'll be $0.10 for the sauce, they get all ...


In my head: "You're excused"



"Yeah, I just like asking people for $0.10 on the occasion"


BUT I ONLY HAVE CREDIT/DEBIT CARD
I hear this one a lot, and I believe them. But that isn't gonna stop me from charging guests on the pin pad. We've got pin pads covering every inch of this joint!  
Only got card?  Oh, I'll let you use card!

The customers are all...




Of course, before they leave, they ask for my name, because they're going to "report me to the head office". I'm soooooo sorry I'm doing my fucking job. You just paid $10 to get fat, what's another ten fucking cents to get even more fat?


Get this, a lady told me this today:
"Are you serious?  We live in such a rich country, and you're charging for sauce?"



My goodness, lady. Do you hear yourself? If we live in such a wealthy nation, I'm sure you can afford to pass off a few dimes on the dollar to get sauce. If you think about it, you're paying to get another product. When you go to the supermarket and buy dry pasta, it doesn't come with a free can of pasta sauce.

Maybe I'm being biased, because I work for the company, but to all the customers out there, please stop taking your rage out on the middle man.

It's dumb, and changes nothing (except for the degree of joy in a minimum wage employee's day)

Wengie's singing is ... bad

Sometime last year, I subscribed to a YouTuber, Wengie.  She's got a cute Barbie doll face, and equally adorably edited videos.  Wengie has multiple channels, on one of which she posts videos regarding fashion, beauty, health, and food.  What I didn't know was that she also posted song covers.  I had time to kill, so I decided to check them out.



... so that happened.  Apart from the fact that it has a weird auto tuned sound, it is overall weak and breathy. 

Verdict: Bad  :(



Sorry, Wengie!  Like your vids, just not your singing.

P.S. guys, let's stop dick riding, and just call things as they are.  Mkay?

Rowdy in the Liberry (Library)

Handed in my English proposal essay today :(  I kind of ended up bullshitting the whole the entire thing (as per usual).   Class ended early since the prof didn't have anything else prepared for lecture today.  I went to the library with my classmate, Tommy, and sat in a booth until he left.  Not long later, a bunch of guys from high school walked by an joined me.  


It seems that students from my HS habitually congregate in this section of the campus library.  Every time I visit the second floor of the library, I can always spot, on minimum, one familiar face.


I have a few new people through this group.  Today, I was acquainted with Thomas today.  He kind of remind me of my coworker, Jack.  Anyways, he had a box of almond chocolates in his backpack, and he kindly offered me one.


Kind gesture, but my diet bet started yesterday.  For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, there is website called dietbetter.com.  It's pretty cool.  Basically, everybody who is interested in losing weight can pool their money into a pot.  Those who don't reach the tEverybody who can lose 4% of their body weight over the course of a moth, will be able to split the remaining.


*Snapsnapsnapsnapsnapsnapsalkndflkasddkljglkasjdsnap* -Thomas duh treeehnnnn

"|HI im tate
im on her vllog
we are in the library today
she is giving me advice bout girls
amy is cool
we are freidns" -Tate

oh snap, librarian told us to shut up :( Sad lyfe.



There is this really fun camera app called LINE Camera.  I recently found out that there is
a function called "beauty".  I don't know if it was newly added, but I only took the time to
find out what its function was a few weeks ago.  Turns out I can PHOTOSHOP on the go.
Bigger eyes, smaller jaw line, brighter skin - witch craft!
I got bored and decided to demostrate the amazingness of the application
on my reacquainted friends.



Before and after


Okay, it doesn't look any better.  But I didn't do the editing in my defense.
It was ALL Tate, mkay?

Anyhow, it's Wednesday, which means that I have a flipping 5hr gap to kill.  No matter!  I least it gives me time to blog ^^

I want to try and film vlogs weekly, but between school and work, I'm finding it difficult to both film and edit.  If only my laptop wasn't so shitty!  I have so many gaps between classes, I could probably get 2 videos done weekly.  Alas, NO MONEY LA!  CANNOT BUY NICER LAPTOP



However, I did get a new case for my phone <3 br="">




Super late post LLOLOL

McDonald's Poutine - Yum or Yuck?


Recently the fast food  powerhouse, McDonald's, launched the good ol' Canadian poutine in my area (Vancouver).  It was something I was exciting to try, but did it hold up to my expectations?

Price: $3.99
Quite affordable, as it falls within my typical $5 budget for junk food.  However, compared to an order of large fries, this costs a lot more!  I think large fries are only around $2.50, and you get a lot more deep fried goodness.

Portion: Small
This is a pretty tiny portion of frits, but keep in mind, this was intended to be a side order.  Regardless, I don't feel that the portion of poutine warrants the $3.99 price tag.  I might pay $2.99, but I don't feel like I'm getting my value.

Taste
I'm sure most of us are familiar with the famous french fries served at Micky D's, but how do they taste in poutine form?  Well, not so good.  I like my poutines served with thick steak fries, fresh out of the frying vat, because they stay hot enough to melt surrounding cheese curds.  The cheese in the McD box simply doesn't get ooey gooey and stringy!  Sure, there's the option of asking the staff to nuke it, but what if you're on the go?  Everything about the McDonald's poutine is just okay.  The cheese is there, but it doesn't melt; The gravy is warm, but lacks a lot of flavour; The fries are golden, but always award winningly fresh.  Although, you have to take it with a grain of salt (no pun intended) that anything mass produced won't have the same delectible quality of something made at a ma and pa joint.  Belgian Fries will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Would I get it again?
No.  I'd rather just get large fries. :(  The value just isn't there!

CAR RAN OVER MY PHONE 100 TIMES



NEW VIDEO UP HUZZZAAHHH >D



You read that correctly - MY PHONE IS FUCKING DEAD
It all happened on the worst day possible.

It's Friday morning, and I'm heading to school.
As per usual, I'm rushing to pack all my shit into my bag just before leaving the house, because ain't nobody got time for prepping in advance!  I shove my calculator and pens into my bag first, because I have a midterm exam to write. I then put my keys and cell phone into my shallow, shalloooow, shaaaaaaaaaaaallllllloooow pocket.  Before leaving home, I grab my notes to study as I walk up to the bus stop.

This following part of the story may cause you to think that I DESERVED to have my phone demolished, but ain't nobody got time for being proper in the morning!

I J-walked  
(  """   T________________T)>

yep.... this is what I get for breaking the law every morning.
Totally sucked, because it was raining too!



My favourite colour is pink, but I don't want to see it on 
THE FREAKING INDICATOR STRIP!
Water damaged innards, yuummm


I was thinking of attempting to fix my i727,  and realized I had lost the button for the volume rocker.  I went on eBay to see if I could find a cheap replacement part

TELL ME WHY THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC COSTS MORE THAN MY LUNCH!!
It's barely larger than the average nail clipping =   = smd
If I do end up trying to fix my phone, I'm just gonna chop up an eraser and hope for the best HAHAHAH

At least I still have the power button :'D


I'm pretty sure the USB port is smashed :x


On a brighter note, doesn't the smashed Gorilla Glass look kinda pretty....
orz
