Just a recording about my recent life, friends meetups, volunteering and normal life.
PERSONAL REFLECTION

We had a four day break including weekends for Easter. Although it is nothing to do with me, I am in a break since two months ago. Time flies so fast, seams I didn't do much, but I flied to China, I went to a small UK trip and to Spain, will go to Prague soon, and still thinking if I should go to Japan for a few days or not as the flight tickets are quite trip recently. Yes I spent quite a lot as well. Expecting trips can bring me new opportunities to earn money, looks like not yet happenning.
During Easter I first time worked with Sammin she is from Hongkong( just to avoid the conflict I didn't insist to say it's part of China><). It's quite awkard, today I also met a girl said herself from Hongkong, we became quiet after that... Anyway, Sammin is a nice lady in general(Let's not mention about politics at this point) I really like her, she bought me cold green tea, she taught me how to deal with those weird customer, but at the end of the day we realised there was a quite expensive branded bag stolen, made me quite guilty... She is equally kind to everyone, although there was a homeless came just took one belt for free. And another guy also tried to steal something while trying clothes. She knew them and knew they have problems with their life, she showed empathy to those people, compared to another man stuff in our shop, he is always impatient a bit short temper, but nice to me, although he looks always angry when he is talking to me, but I guess that is just his personality.
Met up with my friends on Sunday, it was not a very sunny weather, we walked from colonbia flower market, to hackney market, to the riverside and ended up in a bar along the river, we shared a burger and shocked with the 18% service charge which no one ever served us really... Anyway I am happy I explored somewhere new, the boat bar was quite cool. We will definetely choose it if the weather was a bit better. On the way we had a Chinese tea which I tried before didn't really like it, I decided to give another chance, disappointed again..
Monday I had a weird company interview... and my boyfriend made a so-called Easter lunch.. he never celebrated Easter before, just want to cook something instead of the disappointment of canceled my dinner plan. The interview was with a company selling product door by door.. although they have a ok base salary with a commission, they asked for 26days working a month.. and the way of selling product I haven't heard for a long time, and they have no other way to sell, made me feel really weird. The guy talking to me said they made a great sales on this traditional selling way. I don't trust what he said at all, really? People will buy some products selling at their door? Without any guarantee? I rejected today, and the guy asked if I have someone else looks something like this, I answered I will. But I defenitely will not, maybe only who I don't like. Okay, come back to the reason why I canceled my Monday dinner. It supposed to be a girls gathering, and I was quite looking forward to it, until one of the girls said want to bring her boyfriend and the host allowed, even I suggest it supposed to be a girls only. I decided to quit, feel a bit uncomfortable, seeing a guy a couple in a girls only gathering. The host got upset with me about my decision and ignored all my message since then. Want to ask what I feel now? If I am 10 years younger I think I will cry for a while and just can't let it go and of course I will not say anything even if I feel uncomfortable, will follow and join. Now come on, I am old enough to let everything out of my control just go, and I have less tolerence of the things I don't feel comfortable, for me grow-up means, you can say no to what you don't want to do.
