Is it cancer?!?

I found a lump on my right breast the other day. It's hard, it hurts when I touch it, and is the size of a quarter. I'm pretty worried. But I have to play it cool or it'll get worst if I worry or stress out because of it. I can't help but cry though 'cause it is scary to find something like that. I've read some information of lumps on breasts on webmd.com. So far I believe I have fibrocystic breasts or fibroadenoma. 'Cause really, I don't want to be thinking about breast cancer. I'll make an appointment tomorrow to see my OB-GYN probably after my vacation, which is from August 1-11.

I wish Mike was here to give me a hug. I sure need it.

Celebrity sightings

I'm not one to get star struck, but here are some recent celebrity sightings at my work:


  • Yesterday Jim Breuer ate at our Chinese restaurant's bar. He has a show tonight at our lounge at 8pm.
  • Tuesday, July 8th, Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz ate at our sushi bar (seats 14 & 15). From what I saw, they had our Skinny Dip & Cowboy roll and drank a bottle of Melody of Water sake. What was ridiculous was when they were eating, some of the servers & hostesses from the steak house came to gawk at them. It was a little bit annoying 'cause they were standing in our little hallway, in my way of working. Good thing it was slow.

Here are past celebrity sightings:

  • One evening I served Penn Jillette (from Penn & Teller) and his wife. They were our last guests at our sushi bar (seats 8 & 9). Didn't know it was him till Tom told me and when I ran his credit card I saw his name. He looks really different in person. He drank a huge bottle of Panna water by himself. Well he is a big guy.
  • I served Dick Clark one evening (table J1). He was accompanied by his wife. At first I didn't think it was him 'cause he looked so old and was in a wheel chair. He is so cute. He ate tempura appetizer and drank it with a tall glass of cold milk.
  • I also served Anna Kournikova. She sat in one of our booths (table d). She was accompanied by a lady friend. I wished it was Enrique though. He is pretty sexy, minus the mole. But all she had were steamed vegetables. We had to remake her two vegetable dishes because they had traces of oil on them. She wanted them steamed only. She barely ate though. Plus when I presented the check, she excused herself to go to the restroom. Her friend paid and when Anna came back she looked like she threw up her food. I know the look. I've had two cousins who were bulimic. She wasn't sad, so what was with the teary red eyes. Yeah... I know what happened in the bathroom. Hah!
  • One night Scott Baio sat at our sushi bar (seat 8). He was accompanied by his assistant. Before he left he came up to me at the hostess podium. We had a little coversation. He asked me what my nationality was. He didn't believe I was full filipino. No one ever thinks I am anyways. They always think I'm half american or half japanese. Anyways... In the middle of that conversation he asked me out! Chachi asking me out... WTF!?! Hahah! But he is the little flirt. He's all about the ladies. Well anyways, I told him, "Sorry I have a boyfriend." It was too funny. I totally had a crush on him when I was younger.

What a day Wednesday was!?!

Wednesday I didn't have a good day from beginning to end.

I started driving to work. I get on the freeway. As I was about to switch to the 2ND lane, I first looked at my blind spot, no car, so I proceeded to the 2ND lane. To my surprise I ran over a 6 foot metal pole. I looked at my rear view mirror and saw that the metal pole was airborne and hit a red jeep. Freaked me out man! I hope no one was injured. I hope that metal pole didn't cause an accident.

Then I noticed my car was lower on the left side and it wasn't going 70 miles per hour anymore. I GOT A FLAT TIRE! Noooo! I didn't want to be late for work, so I prayed and prayed that I'd make it to work safely. Good thing it was less than 5 miles away. I arrived in our employee parking safely, I got out of my car, and HELLO FLAT TIRE! Man oh man... Told my coworkers what happened. I was so upset.

Work was busy! People were being so mean! I mean MEAN! Wow I can't believe how these people can act like that. In public! But whatever. I'm just glad it's over.

Oh and during the middle of my shift, our sushiman Ferdinand, puts on my spare tire during his break. He's such an angel. I am so very thankful he did that. I don't know who else could of.

So now... my car is in the shop. Poor Marilyn. Yes I named my car. Hahah! I hope to get her later today. And I hope that 6 foot metal pole didn't puncture or damage anything under my car. That would be bad.

I work a 9 hour shift Friday and Saturday... whoop dee doo! Got to rest up and take my vitamins. It's going to be a long a$$ weekend!

Plus only one day off again...

Damn! I guess more money in my pocket for my mini vacay in August! Yay!!!
