Evacuate the Dance Floor – Cascada (Remember, “because everytime we touch, I feel the static. And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky. Can’t you hear my heart beat so… I can’t let you go. Want you in my life.” ?!) It’s catchy and calls for some head bopping.

Daylight – Matt & Kim . Awesome! “80s Modern” – Cimela. I kind of love them! They are super chic.

Bad Romance – Lady Gaga. I mean dude her videos are art! The song is catchy. I basically just think she’s awesome.  Gaga oohh lala…

And then might as well also add Papparazi to the mix!

Meet Me Half Way –  Black Eyed Peas. Yes she has a meth face, but the song is nice. I do feel as though the chorus background music kind of sounds like Viva La Vida… maybe it’s just me.

Lastly, Jay – Z – D.O.A (Death of Auto-Tune) He’s the man. I secretly wish I was from NY so I can have something in common with him. haha I guess being from his wife’s hometown is good enough

First one:

Jay Z's The Blueprint 3 album

One of my favorite songs is “Forever Young” – Rod Stewart. Random I know, but it’s got a great intro. Well, JAY Z does a remix to it! LOVE IT! Here’s the song:

Second one:

Mika's The Boy Who New Too Much

Love Mika! Just great fun music you can dance to! Favorite on this CD is “Blame it on the Girls”! Note on the video, I like how they zoom in on the old lady with the hot pink shirt singing along… hahah

I’ve never worked retail before. I was a waitress one summer at the Volcano (bar), as well as a bartender at Willy’s Pub (Rice’s on campus bar). I thought to myself I might not have retail experience per se, but if there is one thing I do have a skill in is customer service. I’m a people pleaser. My parents own their own business and I grew up catering to our customers/friends (they become part of your family after 24 years haha). I think customer service runs in the family, because when I was younger my grandmother, Mami Fina, owned her own neighborhood market (abarrote in Spanish) in Monterrey, MX. There were two stores across the street, but everyone came to her. You know why? Customer service. I would get so excited when I would get to visit and got to help out. I loved taking money and giving change (nerd alert – it was the math that I really liked). I also just like people in general and love to interact with different types of people and if I can help them on the way that’s a plus.

Not Mami Fina's abarrotes, but similar in style and feel to get a picture

Well, long story short I applied and got a job. Last night was my first shift and I totally enjoyed it! There’s always something to do: fold clothes, open dressing rooms, get people different sizes, and ring up people. My co-workers are all pretty cool. It’s going to take me a bit to remember their names, but I will get there. One of them already gave me the 411 on the managers and who the nice “non-fake” workers where, then we bonded over Glee.

My only reserve about taking on a second job, is that I might be spreading my self a bit thin… basically I work an average of 22 hours a week (this is based on my two week schedule I just got) on top of my full-time 40 hour a week job, and my extra curricular activities (Rice Young Alumni, Rotoract, Optix Studios, tennis, social life…). But you know what? I always loved a good challenge, and if I can make it through the end of the year, 2009 is going to go in my record books as one of the most accomplished years in MK’s life (until I have kids of course) hahaha!

I will keep you posted if any interesting stories happen at the Crew J, apparently working in retail you always have stories to tell.

Muse was great, but I have to give real probs to the production crew of U2. The lights and set were out of this world… hahah their theme was space! All in all it was a great concert

Cait, Lisa, Jon (idea man behind attending the concert)

the girls

the spaceship aka stage

They played my favorite song – City of Blinding Lights!! Also on my 11*2=22 CD or maybe it was my Party in the City CD? Either way it made it to a bday CD.
