Shake Your Money Maker!

Hey babe...
just want to tell you
that work has been so stressing these days
I mean, first of all with the plan to be a supervisor
like, lately all the manager's been testing me
like giving me some task to delegate things
and I did make it but it was so hard
considering all the people in my floor are friends
moreover my manager's been telling me
that I can't afford to make mistakes like going
on long breaks, or going between 12 to 2pm
and he told me not to hang out with people
he sees as unprofessional
and it's just kinda getting to me lately
since they opened women's store in the weekend
like all the important people were always around
so I cant help feeling like I have to be
in my best behavior all the time.
And the biggest challenge would be
pushing the sales for Armani
like, Im new with the whole working in boutique
and especially Armani, it's actually very hard to sell
and last weekend we did really well
but like, for some reason sales drop again
and we didnt even make the budget for the week
worse thing is that people's comments
have been really disheartening
some even say that it is David Jones mistake
to replace the old Armani people with me
since they have 9 years of experience in that boutique
and changing the sales representatives doesn't help
the sale.
But honestly I dont agree with that
because I know I kick ass in Armani
people just have to give me sometime
And being a good boutique manager
doesnt only revolve around selling
These old guys dont do anything to look after
the stocks, they don't work to represent the brand
and that's why Armani's been going down...
I wish that people would see that
I mean, I wish I can do better in Armani but
what else can I do?
I've done my best.
And I hope that the sales budget doesnt affect
my chance of getting the promotion.
Ah well, enough of this negativity
it's all the part of business isnt it?
so right now, Im just gonna shake my money maker!

Like, I Don't Date Wowsers

Hey boys...
There is nothing worse than
a guy who only date specific race background
eg. rice queen and pasta queen.
there is nothing worse than
guys who thinks he's all that
when in real life he's so fucking clumsy
like dropsy kind of clumsy
and I left my phone in the cafe kind of clumsy
there is nothing worse than
guys who think he's cool but he's not
there is nothing worse than
guys who is so south yarra snobbish
and thinks that by being south yarra clean
he's better than the rest of the world
there is nothing worse than
guys who cant make a decision and complain a lot
there is nothing worse than
guy who only wants to talk about his own
shit self, even though it's so fucking boring
there is nothing worse than
guys who ask you for compliments
and on top of that very self-centred
and wants to be the centre of attention
for example, he gets offended because you
gotta meet your best friends kinda needy shit.
So any sign of wowsers just staaaaay awaaaay
you dont even want to hang out with them
they waste your time.

I'm Just a Bitch

Hey babes...
went to the Somewhere Gallery opening
last week, and it was baaaaad.
Like, the Gallery was nice but
I was again face to face with the Melbourne's coolzies
I mean they're ok, but I never like try hards
I never like doing things to impress
I dont like non-practical things only for social status
Well that day it was about 36 degrees
the gallery was on the third floor
and there wasn't any air-con
it was like hell
and the hell turned into fashionista wannabe hell
These coolzies were wearing jackets, black winter jackets
and like another jacket with fur and feather trimming
pointy shoes, socks...
And for sure Fatso Hayley were there
with her famous slimming leggings and
fringey bag taking photos of the coolzies
hmmmm she gotta lose weight before anyone
can take her seriously.
I happened to go with a loser
who by the way chickened out after
he saw all the sea of coolzies
he wasn't going in, but I made him do
was there for only a minute
and then we left, and it made me one bitch and a half.

Just So You Know

Just so you know
you dont know me, until
you find out that Im such a conniving bitch
and hear me out, that I will not forget one single shit you did
until I get back to you, fair and square
you won't realize it now
but most of my plan are long term anyway
so dont you fucking mess with me
because. say, soon you'll fucking realise
that things are fucked and you know why...
mwa, love you.

It's Amazing What I Can Do

hey babes...
I got a new smell
I smell Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Enia chose it for me
Last time she chose YSL La Nuit De L'Homme
I love it too!
I love having those musky, smoky
some kinda mature, sexy, and sophisticated smell.
Like, tell me it's silly
but like I think now I can pull off
those scent because I wear suits...
By the way, I managed to get
the third person for Armani
I got Matthew in my team
He is just such a pro
He was the golden boy of the department
we started working together,
so pretty much we grew in the business together
and I just cant wait to have that dynamic in Armani...
The shit thing about Armani is that
my store wont be refurbished until February
which is so annoying because everything else
has been refurbished.
And Armani doesnt do discount as often as the others
on top of that bad buying decision
that means all of those combo makes it hard to sell...
Anyway I had a ciggy outside work yesterday
My old Manager who now works in
women's shoes department, talked to me
"I'd love you to supervise my area."
I said, I'd think about that.
And then she told me the story
"Did Louis tell you that your name
is highlighted as a potential supervisor
in the general meeting?"
I said, no.
"Well, you couldve been a supervisor right now,
but Louis wanted you to supervise his area,
but as everyone knows it, mens suits is the
shark pool. Amy and Matt didn't think you're
ready for that. You need to start from a smaller
department."
I thought, I couldve been a supervisor
and Louis gave me Armani?
And all that only because he wants to keep me in suits?
"Badra, so why not come with me, tell Amy
that you want to supervise, that's all you need
to do. That's the only way you make your way up.
It will open more possibilities, even for a manager job..."
Now, I need to plan things,
I want to make sure that I dont burn bridges
I wanna do it nicely, but hopefully,
December or January.

Day Dreaming

hey babes...
went to RMIT to check out
the fashion merchandising course
I'm planning to do it next year
you know, I want to reach my dream
I want to be a designer one day
or may be a CEO in a fashion house
but yeah, I found out that
the course that I want to do is
still too fucking expensive for me
I could only get a year of govt help
and then I'll be paying around $9000 a year
and like, how can I pay that much money?
sometimes things like this make me feel so small
sometimes things make it feel so unreachable
right now Im really kinda feeling so frustrated
It's all I want and yet it seems so far away
I just really hope that one day
it will all come true.

Loving The Memories. Not The Mann?

hey babes...
Ive been remembering a lot of things
about my ex, like fun stuff
I'd say things that I miss about us
I miss being the power couple
missing joking around with him
the so often occasional kisses
missing grabbing his arm, and
walking next to him
and I thought, do I miss him?
do I want him back?
For a moment I thought may be
I wanted him back
like, I came to realize that this past year
I had to be alone because I need to prove it
to myself. I mean, this whole break up
destroyed my self trust and confidence
and I just had to prove it to myself
that Im still as strong, I had to rebuild myself
I've realized that I am now stronger than ever.
So basically, considering that now I have
more control in everything, and Im sure
I can control the relationship even better
so, there is a slight ok sign to getting back with him
but hmmmm... I dont think so...
when I think of it again, I dont miss everything
I only miss the good memories
and when that happens, you forget about
the shit memories.
I think, I only miss the memories,
not the Mann...
