So thirsty

We get a lot of people looking for a date. And some are bolder than others. Hey gotta give it to them when they're confident. But unfortunately it's "against" company policy to accept numbers. Okay so I may have used this for the server's advantage. And made it possible for the him to reject the number and not look like a complete dick. 
You're welcome jerkwad.

Jackass returns

So these people come in all the time and never tips. But last time they came in they left this jackass note for one of my servers. 


Always feels great to be appreciated for waiting on a table hand and foot...not. 

Then they came back and this time a different server decided to give them the most basic service. I.e: took order, brought out food, refilled drink only when really empty, and no smile. They left this: 


Well don't be an asshole.

Live in SAB!!!

HeyHiHello! 

What's up people? Today there will be no angst just good old intros. Today we meet some of my coworkers! 


This is Mat. He's our awesomtactuar sushi guy. So he could probably kill you. 


This is Brianna. She's the normal one. Or at least the sane one. She makes my life a bit easier here. 


This is him. Cristabol aka. LudaCRIS. And ladies? He's single. Lol


This is smiley. Lol nah this is Dante. Don't be fooled he's usually very smiley. Adorably sweet too. 


This is the main chef. He's super laid back and hilarious. But he will kill you if you mess with him. 


This is the main manager she's awesome and laid back too. And married too the awesomely laid back chef. 


Meet Travian. He's funny but the bane of every servers existence here. But they still love him. 


And finally this is miss Anne. We don't really know what she does. But we all love her. 

Okay that's all of them. Short post but thought we could all take a break from the romance angst.

Did I just walk into a K-Drama?

HeyHiHello,

So my life has taken on a bit of Asian cliche turn lately. Yes I am living out a K-Drama.

Okay so not really but sometimes I feel like my life is starting to take on a more K-Dramatic turn. I mean those Noona-Dongsaeng ones. You know the ones. The ones where the noona is in her twenties, sometimes late twenties, she meets this sweet amazing younger guy, sometimes high school young. They fight off bad guys and evil moms and end up together and live happily ever after. I'm looking at you I Hear Your Voice and Big.

To be honest though if my life was a K-Drama Work hottie would most definitely not be the guy I'd end up with. I mean he has all the making of  a secondary male lead. My ex is most like a main male lead.

Emotionally Unavailable?- Check
Overbearing mother? - Check
Ass like qualities? - Check

We broke up. He realizes that he's lost me. Broods a bit. Now he won't stop messaging me. Hmm this seems like the climatic ending. Let's hope this doesn't end with me going back to his emotionally unavailable ass.

Now let's look at WH (Work Hottie). How secondary male lead is he?
Slightly hung up on a b*tchy ex? - Check
Way better looking than the male lead?- Check
Smart?- Check
Sweet? - Check
Possibly a way better option for the female lead? - Check

Now I am in no way saying that I am the female lead. I'm more of that snarky, bestie that suddenly disappears close to the end of the series.

Thanks for sitting through this drivel.

Quick Update!



So how are y'all doing lately? So I know I made this grand proclamation about this blog and how it's going to chronicle my life as I try to hit every thing in my pre-quarter life bucket list. But like John Lennon famously said, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." Which is exactly what did not happen to me. Last year and a half or so I stopped planning my life and started living it. And by doing that I finally lost and found love, Lost my virginity, and knocked things off my bucket list.


Last summer I was fortunate enough to be able to visit London on a Study abroad trip and it was amazing. That little adventure will probably eventually make it into a post soon....I hope.


But what has happened this year. Well I found love during the latter half of last year, and realized that this love wasn't for me. We just weren't a good fit. In addition, having to fight so much just to them normally was a hassle. This year though it ended. Don't fret my dear three readers, as my lovely Jackass friends have pointed out. I have developed a crush...of course all without my knowledge.


I know I'm such a b*tch. End a relationship only to realize you like someone else how horribly cliche.


However this guy is wonderful, so I will do my best to channel my inner 14 year old and gush all about him in a stereotypical fashion. Breathe in. Breathe out. Aaaand let's go


So this guy works with me. His name will be Work Hottie. He is witty and funny, without being an ass. Super cute Also very smart. He's kind perfect...except he's 17. He turns 18 soon but still HE'S 17! Let me remind you that I just turned 22 so this super creepy for me. I feel super sleazy and horrible and not to mention kind of like a pedophile.


To be honest though I was even aware that I was attracted to the guy, until my horrible best friend pointed out that I was gushing about him like I did in high school. (Last time I did that I was a junior so it's been a while. Maybe why I myself didn't recognize it.) Anyway I was marching merrily along being completely unaware of my growing problem. Thanks Lauren and Isaac, you two are the worst.


Anyways yeah so that's the latest on me. Super boring and bordering on Pedonoona. Ugh K-pop has ruined me a bit. Oh well. Hope to see you soon

An explanation...of Sorts

HeyHiWhatsUp this Girl Under Construction with an update, kind of. I figured my first post should be an explanation of me and what I do here. What to say, what to say? Basics I believe is the best foundation to any successful piece, and what can more basic than the name.

Girl Under Construction has a simple and  modest origin. It comes as a slightly cheeky derivative of the famous memoir Girl, Interrupted, though most would probably think film. But I'm more bookworm than movie buff so there will probably be ample references to novels (and sci-fi/fantasy things but lets leave that for another day) Back to the main point. (I tend to go on tangents so stick with me here) At the tender era of early adulthood I am still under major construction and sometimes reconstruction, always building or rebuilding facets of my life to adapt the everyday task of living and surviving, hence the name. So far in my life I've reconstructed my way of adapting and my appreciation and acceptance for grey areas and isolation has grown tremendously. But then again that is how it is for everyone, I believe.

Now for something that might get overlooked frequently, but still no less important, my URL. I always believe that the URL is an important aspect of all blogs. Because you can change you blog name but if you change your URL how can anyone find you. So when choosing your URL or choosing to change it is an impactful decision, on your viral life at least. Just to be clear fiveyearexpiration is not me having five years to live nor is it that this blog will only be alive for five years before I abandon it for better pastures. I have a tumblr if anyone is wondering but I find it less satisfying to post long nonsensical word posts there than it would be here. It is reserved only for my fangirl life. Not to say that fangirl things won't happen here. I find it permeates every part of my life. But I digress. (See? Tangents. Sorry about that) Fiveyearexpiration comes from the fact that I have this list, (I have many lists actually). It is a bucket list of sorts but not really. This list consists of things I believe that should be done before the end of my 25th year of life. If by then I have not achieved those things the list will be scrapped and I will have to actually grow up and give up certain things. It is a list of childhood I guess but it is still things only an adult can do, (without some help, at least). On October 31 of 2018 the list will have been erased. Do not think this list is something that has just happened recently, I have had this list since I was 16 years old. Every few days, sometimes weeks, I will have a look at this list, and every year something new is added. So far nothing has been done of removed. I may document the progress of this list here I may not. It all depends. Either way it is the inspiration for the URL of this page.

I feel that after all of that I should explain what it is I hope to achieve here. This is nothing more than a place where I find emotional release and communicate about my thoughts. I realize that this has gone somewhat out of passion. Everyone seems to have moved on the Vlogging and YouTube is the platform in which they can verbalize their ideas and thoughts. I understand that. Who has the time to read a ridiculously long and rambling post when they can get the chunk of it in quick 5 minute video form? I have of course tried this but I find myself much eloquent with words when writing than I do when speaking, (which is slightly ironic for if you ask any of my friends or acquaintances they will tell you that I seem to never shut up.)

Now that you understand the basis of this, Welcome to my Mind. I do hope you enjoy your time here and I do hope you do not become to traumatized or depressed.
