part deux

So after the car accident, there have been a string of events that occurred. I first tried calling 911, it was busy. I ended up calling it about 3 more times til it finally rang but a recording came on saying all operators are busy and to please hold. Thank god it wasnt a real emergency, but srsly, scaaaaary! After i reported the accident, i called my insurance company to figure out where to tow my car. Their computer system was all down and asked if i can call back in an hour. Um...NO! But what could they do. Luckily our tow truck driver was sweet and said we can leave it in his company's lot until we figured things out. After an hour, i called my insurance company back, and just as we were about to finalize my report, i get disconnected. So i call right back to find out that my claim was not recorded. So, i ended up doing it all over again. But no biggie i thought.

Well my dear friend joy came all the way out to Upland, where justin and i were stranded. She picked us up and we all wondered and hoped that we wouldn't have to unload my jeep completely because it was packed to the fullest. We ended up at the time taking out acouple of luggages and temperture sensitive items. As we were driving back to Burbank, we noticed a huge cloud of smoke up in the mountains right by our house. That was the beginning of the griffith park fire, some of you natives know what im talking about. As we watched the fire spread while driving home, we all talked how it was a strange day today with the whole accident and all. Things just didnt seem right to us. As we got to joy's place, we got out of the car to start unloading our stuff into the apartment. As joy opens the trunk, there's a loud crash! A few of her boxes and belongings fall out of the car and splatters onto the street. We all got startled from the loud noise and then start to laugh. Again we mention what a weird day today surely was.

As we unloaded the car, i was carrying joy's piggy bank which was a very large glass jar filled with change. Right as i set the jar down on the ground, the jar exploded. Let me clarify that i did not drop the jar. It literally seemed like it exploded and it did this all over my hands. Luckily i only got a few cuts on my hands and feet but enough that i was drawing blood and needed to get bandages. After that, joy told me to stay away from everything and that i was cursed. I started to feel that way. After i being bandaged, joy asked me to look for a broom in the apartment. I opened one of the hallway closets and managed to knock down a bowl full of scissors and knick knacks. It all came spilling on the ground. I cursed at myself, not knowing what was happening to me. My universe seemed out of line.

Afterwards, my claim adjuster calls to get my story. And as we were about to finish, he says he's having computer problems and will have to call me back. I sighed and wondered if i was giving off some sort of strange negative energy everywhere. Since i had to be in chicago by friday to attend a job interview, we ended up buying $640 plane tickets to fly out on thursday. As i was purchasing it online, i went to put in my rewards number like i always do when i purchase through southwest. But of course, it wasnt taking it and just said that the member was "unknown." But this is my number that i have always been using. So i called southwest to reconfirm my number. As i went through the whole security process with the representative, he paused and said "oh thats strange." Find out that it wouldnt give my rapid number to him either and instead, said something so foreign that the representative had to get his manager. Both didnt know what it meant and told me to call their main circuit board for rapid rewards to see if they can help. As i hung up, i wasn't surprised.

It seems the worst has gone, but in actuality, it had not. I dont know why i chose that same night to try to explore into a discussion i was having with my boyfriend justin, but stupidly, i did. And it ended up badly. We broke up and i was devastated. It had been a long time since i felt this way, so hopeless and confused. It couldnt have come at a worse time. To this day, im still trying to mend things but it looks doubtful between us. I wish i can turn back time, dont we all?

But believe it or not, this isnt even the end of it all. Yes, yes, there is more. But this is the end of just DAY 1.....
