Frictional Blog 5 [The Job Edition]

BAAAMM!!


What is up you guys? I am back to talk about something that most people of my age has been searching, finding, doing and even quitting from.. A job.. Haha.. I'll try to make this post very short.. I don't wanna take plenty of your time.. A couple of minutes are just necessary.. So here we go..

So I have just finished my secondary level education last year (well, a couple of months ago to be exact).. So I'm currently waiting for my final exam's results.. You know, that month-long test known as the SPM.. Well, if you're a citizen of Malaysia then you definitely know what I'm talking about.. This period between the exam and the results are reckoned to be filled with interesting activities.. And by "interesting activities", I mean working your butt to get some experience and, of course, money.. Woo woo woo, you know it.. But hey, I was the one who has said to them that I ain't getting a work.. No way am I going to work in this not-so-short-yet-it's-not-long period.. But look who's getting called up to work.. Yes, it's me.. It's me.. Haha.. How did this happen??

Some time early January, my S.O got online on Facebook and chatted with me.. Oh, great times.. Hey, each and every moment involving her is a great time.. She told me that her mother had sent her to work at this fast food restaurant.. And I was like "Really?? Cool!! I'll be applying there right away!!".. Yes, I said that.. Several days later (can't remember, maybe the very following day), I went there and asked for a job application form.. She was there! Oh, the very face I always want to see everyday, smiling back at me as soon as I entered that place (with a huge smile, of course).. Anyway, back to the form.. I never filled it.. I never did.. I didn't think that I should be applying for the job.. It's cool though.. I could visit her there anytime I want.. At least I thought I could.. And I never did.. Then I think of something drastic.. Next month..

"I've made up my mind.. I'm going there, apply for a job and come back home!" said yours truly.. And I did.. Went to a photo shop (not that photo-editing crap, but a photographic shop) but it was closed.. So I went to the fast food place to, again, ask for the form.. She's not there.. But I noticed that the cash register has her name on it.. Haha.. Awesome.. I went to my big bro's office and filled the form, and we went back home.. The next day, there I was, standing or sitting (can't remember), talking to this guy over there (he's awesome, polite, hardworking as hell).. I believe his name is Bally or something.. So says his nametag.. Anyway, gave him the form and a passport-sized picture of yours truly.. And he said he'll call me in 3 or 4 days.. And now I have a job!! But not there.. (???)

Well here's what happened.. A week has passed and I heard no ringing on my phone at all.. That day I planned something quite good (at least I thought it was).. I forced my S.O's best friend to come with me, to hang out with my S.O.. Three of us had a great time.. She seems to be happy to see her best friend visiting her at her workplace.. I went to another restaurant that day to apply for a job.. That place is just a thrown stone away from her workplace.. So I gave it a shot.. And now I'm employed.. Now yesterday, me and my mother went to my S.O's workplace.. She's not there.. Day off, I guess.. We asked that guy (Bally) if there's any vacancy for me.. And he said that he'll definitely call me as soon as possible, as there are some vacancies there.. And now I have no idea where to work at.. My employer said that they'll give me a week of tryout.. So if this job sucks, then I'll definitely be working with my S.O.. Been hoping for that for quite some time..

So that's it.. Until next week.. Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: Last night, I read some of the letters you gave me last year.. Miss you..

Wrestling Wednesday 5 [The Elimination Chamber Edition]

BAAAMM!!


I'm in a good mood cause I can still smell what The Rock was cooking, so let's get down to our weekly routine..

Friday Night Smackdown


#1 - Edge, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R Truth, Rey Mysterio and John Cena vs CM Punk, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett and Kane, 12-Man Tag Team match. A good match.. I'm surprised that everyone has a chance to show what he has in his tank in this match.. There's a great spot where Kane throws Mysterio out of the ring, and then Punk catches Mysterio with an ala-GTS knee from the ringside.. Near the end, Sheamus Brogue Kicked Edge, only to get Flash Kicked by Morrison, who gets Chokeslammed by Kane.. Cena picks Kane up for the Attitude Adjustment and he gets it.. And then Punk scores with the Go To Sleep on Cena.. BOOM!! RKO on Punk! McIntyre comes in with the Future Shock on Orton, and Truth hits the Lie Detector on McIntyre shortly afterwards.. Barrett follows with the Boss Man Slam (or the Scrapbuster, or basically a spinning side slam) on Truth.. I love that move.. Rey has got Barrett on the second rope, and so does he got Ziggler.. Double 619, followed by a Spear on Dolph.. 3-count fall.. Following the match, Vickie (excuse me) Guerrero fires Edge, and later on will crown Dolph the new World Heavyweight Champion.. **** match. Winner: Edge, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R Truth, Rey Mysterio and John Cena.


#2 - Eve and Beth Phoenix vs Maryse and Layla, Tag Team match. Michelle McCool is on commentary, having an injured leg or foot or something.. At the end, Beth beats Michelle's injured foot or whatever and subsequently distracts the referee, leaving Eve alone in the ring to be double-teamed.. Pinfall.. *** match. Winner: Layla and Maryse.


#3 - Kofi Kingston vs Miz, Singles match. Alberto Del Rio (with no Ricardo Rodriguez?? boooooo...) distracts Kofi while Alex Riley is keeping the referee busy, allowing the Miz to hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Kofi.. So let me get this straight.. Del Rio is a Wrestlemania 27 main-eventer, yet his only appearance on Smackdown is an interference on Kofi's match?? ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz.


#4 - Corre vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater represents the Corre in this match.. Ends with a DQ when Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson beat the hell out of Santino.. Big Show comes in for the save.. **1/2 match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov.


#5 - Edge vs Dolph Ziggler, Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Theodore Long returns and reinstates Edge.. Edge wins with a Spear.. Teddy fires Dolph.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Edge.


The 600th episode? Well, let me correct myself.. The average 600th episode.. Good to hear those Eddie chants (RIP Eddie Guerrero)..

Sunday Night Elimination Chamber

#1 - Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston, Singles match. Damas y caballeros, el es Albertoooooo Dellllll Rioooooo!! A back and forth match.. A sweet spot where Kofi goes for a diving cross body block on Del Rio and was reversed mid-air with a double knee to the sternum.. And of course, Ricardo (damas y caballeros, el es) Rodriguez plays his part by distracting the referee at one time.. Anyway, Del Rio makes Kofi tap out with his Flying Armbar.. **** match. Winner: Alberto Del Rio.


#2 - Kane vs Drew McIntyre vs Wade Barrett vs Big Show vs Rey Mysterio vs Edge, Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship. First 2 men are Edge and Mysterio.. They are also the final 2.. Man, I never thought that the first of two Elimination Chamber matches would involve as much shattered glasses as we see here in this one.. Mysterio and Barrett are 2 of the guys who have tasted the glass pods in the match.. Anyway, Edge wins after a mid-air Spear and a pinfall.. ****1/2 match. Winner: Edge.


#3 - Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella vs Corre, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. We see the Cobra baybee! Anyway, Kozlov gets pinned after a 450 Splash by the sternum-crushing Justin Gabriel.. New tag champs, Gabriel and Heath Slater.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Corre.


#4 - Miz vs Jarry Lawler, Singles match for the WWE Championship. The King almost wins at one point (are you kidding me?), but the Miz gets the rope.. Hell, the King even tries for his Piledriver, but of course you won't be able to see that move in the WWE ever again.. Skull Crush, and it's a successful title retain.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz.


#5 - Randy Orton vs R Truth vs CM Punk vs John Cena vs Sheamus vs John Morrison, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Champion #1 Contendership. Sheamus and Morrison start things up.. At one point, Punk gets stuck in his pod as it won't open.. Hence Orton beats the pulp outta him and owns him with the RKO for the 3-count.. Then the Raw GM interrupts the match and orders Punk to enter his pod again as he deserves a second chance.. Numerous parkour spots by Morrison which also leads to the elimination of Sheamus.. Last 2 men, Punk and Cena.. Cena AA'd Punk fron the ring to the metal floor.. ****1/2 match. Winner: John Cena.


And again, John Cena is headlining Wrestlemania.. Urgh.. Good to see Trish Stratus back..

Monday Night Raw


#1 - John Morrison vs Cm Punk, Singles match. Punk wins with a Go To Sleep.. **** match. Winner: CM Punk.


#2 - Bella Twins vs Eve and Gail Kim, Tag Team match. The Bellas get the victory after a switcharoo into a small package.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Bella Twins.


#3 - Sheamus vs Mark Henry, Singles match. Mark Henry getting a push = greatness.. The World's Strongest Slam puts the decision against Sheamus.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Mark Henry


#4 - Corre vs Miz and John Cena, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Skull Crushing Finale to Justin Gabriel puts him down for the count.. Hell, even Cena and Heath Slater didn't expect to see the Miz wins so quickly.. After the match, Wade Barrett quickly invokes the Corre's rematch clause.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz and John Cena.


#5 - Corre vs Miz and John Cena, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Miz gets himelf controlled by the Corre for almost the whole match, beginning with the interference by Ezekiel jackson.. Cena's going for the AA, then the Miz comes in to Skull Crush Cena while Slater is on his shoulder.. At first I thought it's a frickingawesome double team move, but I guess I was wrong.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Corre


Average night.. They should have The Rock on the show, but I guess he's only coming for Wrestlemania.. Good to see the Undertaker and Triple H back.. And also knowing that Jim Duggan will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame.. Hoooooo!!

So that's it.. Now let's take some time to discuss about this blog.. I am actually getting kinda bored to write about music and wrestling.. Besides, I don't wanna get caught in yet another copyright infringement conflict.. Therefore, I would like to announce that this marks the final Wrestling Wednesday of my blog.. And yes, there will no longer be any new Music Mondays or Tuesdays.. From now on, there will only be one blog per week, which is the Frictional Blog.. I don't really think I'm in the mood to talk about music and wrestling as I'm being distant with my S.O.. So from now on, all you will see in this blog are stories of my personal life.. I will seldomly talk about wrestling yet still, because wrestling has been a tiny part of my life (you know the biggest part of my life is my S.O right?) for quite some time now.. So, until then.. Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: Screw music.. Screw wrestling.. I'm focusing on you, you, and only you.. Love you.. :)

Music Tuesday 5 [The Lady Antebellum Edition]

BAAAMM!!


I am back.. Not much to say.. Except for the fact that Lady Gaga has just produced a theme song for the LGBT.. Really?? Negative charges don't attract negatives.. There's a reason for the existence of positive charges.. Same goes to males and females.. (if you're my S.O and you're reading this, I love you :D) Now, let's go to our weekly routine..

Artist Of The Week - Lady Antebellum

Yeah, it's the Grammy-winning, quarter-after-one-yet-still-not-sleeping trio.. Since they have won 5 - yes, 5 - Grammys recently, this post will be circling around them.. Lady Antebellum consists of (yeah, surprisingly 'Lady' is not a female, but a combination of one with 2 guys) Charles Kelley as the guy voice, Dave Haywood as the guitarist/pianist and Hillary Scott as the girl voice.. And unbelievably, the powerful voice of Hillary has gotten herself to be rejected twice on American Idol.. What the firetruck were those Idol judges thinking?? Shame on you guys, as Hillary and the boys had just won 5 Grammys, mostly thanks to their hit single, Need You Now..

Song Of The Week - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
This is like the song of 2010.. Awesome song.. Actually, I had no interest of listening to this song until my S.O talked to me about it.. Then I did some research about Lady Antebellum and found out that they're a trio.. When I told my S.O about that, she was just as shocked as I was.. Great song, nonetheless.. This song describes my feeling, being apart from her for quite some time.. Of course, except for the "a little drunk" and "another shot of whiskey" parts.. I don't drink alcohols..

Album Of The Week - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Not a great album.. Don't download it.. Why?? Because it's an awesome album.. You should go buy it.. Except if you're a moneyless guy like me.. Check out Our Kind Of Love, American Honey and, of course, Need You Now..
