hay...wish i could..

Earlier, while rummaging though my piles of paper to find something I need as my reference for my training proposal, I found something that made me stop what I'm doing. It was a letter to myself I wrote on my 25th birthday. I don't even remember I wrote that one! It was written at the back of the print out of my former student's email I. It was full of positive thoughts. I have written there the three things I was very happy to achieve before my 25th birthday. It really struck me, I don't even know now what to write to myself on my next birthday. I only have one month to have something I will be proud of before turning 26. Is this the sign I've been waiting?

Before starting to work again, I went to Greenbelt chapel. I did not really intend to ask God something for myself. I just wanted to be with Him. Suddenly, while talking to Him, I asked God if I made the right choice. If not, he should give me a sign. Tadahh! Monday, two days after I went to Greenbelt chapel, a former colleague IM-ed me. It was a job offer. I did not even have to take a test or go through a series of interviews. It was a job offer I could not resist. There is one problem though, its office is in QC, and I live in Cainta. And, I don't know how to tell my superiors that I'm gonna leave again. I have worked for barely two weeks only after my very long vacation.

It's hard to decide. Should I wait for another sign? Should I allow myself to miss this oppurtunity? Should I accept this so that I could have something to be proud of before my next birthday?

Decision making couldn't get any harder.

Araneta Coliseum

I know they always come here, but I really wanted to see them perform live. I'm a huge fan of their songs, they can really make you say...aawwww...
I thought I was going to have a blast. I was a little disappointed. It was very short, good thing they sang my favorite "Water Runs Dry."
Listening to my other favorite, "I miss you" could have made a difference though.

Of course, there are pics..Filipinos are certified camwhores.. Flashing lights were everywhere..

I was with Daisy and Merk (again). As if i have a choice hehehe. labyu guys!

It was one helluva week!

I started working again for the same compnany last Monday. I thought they would allocate less than a hundred essays for me to proofread. It was 134! When I was still on vacation, each tutor only received less than a hundred essays. Bad timing for me tsk tsk tsk

It was one helluva week that I needed a strong alcohol. I'm not much of a drinker now, so tequila or some mixed cocktails are the only alcoholic drinks I can take now. I needed to be intoxicated! So, last Friday, tadah! wish come true. I told my friend, one shot of tequila or just 1 glass of margarita is enough. it turned out that 1 isn't enought.. 4 glasses of margarita, just enough to lull me into sleep...

Unplanned night out again with my 2 kaladkaring bessies..literal na spontanyong pagkilos hahaha

I dunno what's in store for me next week. I need to be more than ready I guess.

THIS IS SOOO MEEEE TODAY!

Prang sasabog na utak ko sa pagpoproofread!

I'm so gonna look like my mother when I become 70 years old hehehe

Happy Birthday Nay!

I love you soo soo much! I wish I could spend more time with you.

More birthdays to come. We'll all wait for your golden wedding anniversary.

I'm so excited to work again. Yey! I miss deadlines and the adrenaline rush when I'm busy. I'm going back to my previous job, since I haven't really filed my resignation formally. I just decided to accept the offer again mainly because of their super flexible schedule. I miss editing academic essays! Wla lang, I'm just so giddy these days. :)

And speaking of being giddy. here are some things that made/make me like li'l miss sunshine

My mother's 70th birthday!

Can't believe my mother is already 70 years old! She doesn't look her age and she is very strong. She can still travel alone, go to the market alone, can do the laundry, can still sew clothes just exactly the way she did when she was still young, and can do a lot of other things! June 30 was my Inay's birthday, so the whole family spent the weekend in our hometown to have a small celebration. My friends Cess, Merk, and Daisy also joined us. What they did? They just ate, snoozed, ate, snoozed. Patabaing baboy in short. We just enjoyed our Videoke session and had a few rounds of drinks. Red wine for me.

Mango Iced Tea!

I super love it! It's my newest addiction. The mango iced tea from Philippine Travel Cafe at Greenbelt 5. When I'm in Ayala area in Makati, I make sure that I visit a friend who works in a travel agency which is located inside that cafe. I don't care if she's busy. It's just a great place to relax. Free wifi, nice ambiance, super yummy mango iced tea, it's just perfect after a busy day in the office or after a tiring shopping spree :)

End of Season SALE!

I love it when it's the end of the season. Every retail store is having a very big sale. The thifty shopaholic in me emerges when stores are on sale. Imagine buying jeans, basic tops, ever reliable cardigans, flirty dresses from Zara, TopShop, Mango, and Warehouse for half the price. You can also buy a nice shirt for your man from TopMan. You'll end up buying all those basic essentials once you enter their stores. Such a treat! Just make sure that the items you buy are something that you will really wear.

Boys II Men Concert!

July 21 is the date! I've been waiting for this. I wasn't able to attend their concert the last time they were here, so I took this chance. I'm afraid I might not see them again. They're getting old and they might be another MJ hehee :) I'm so excited to see them and watch them perform LIVE. I'm getting ready to sing with them!

sooo sooo excited!

Celeteque Facial Wash and Facial Scub (vanity at its finest!)

I used to be a Pond's girl. It is a great product. It's cheap and it really works. However, I think there is such a thing as saturation point when it comes to skin care products. I don't know if I got the right word for that. My skin doesn't respond to Pond's care anymore hehe. I've been looking for some organic products, since I've started using mineral make up but I couldn't find one. I cannot find some organic products in Watson's and SM supermarket and I'm so tamad to go to Rustan's. I just decided to try Celeteque. I just love the result. When I wash my face at night, I don't need to apply moisturizer because my skin just feels oh so soft even in the morning. Its facial scrub is also very gentle but can really expoliate dry skin. I know I'm sooo vain, can't help it I'm turning 26 in September. Getting ready for some anti-aging cream hehehe

can't help but blog :)

I should be busy pla for my recertification training. Tomorrow is the middle of the week. Such a busy month!

My internet connection is back after more than a week of no Internet connection. I don't know how long it will last or how soon it will be disconnected again or how many times Globe Broadband will have system restoration for this week.

I'm so tired of calling Globe's hotline, waiting for like forever to talk to the CSRs, dealing with some incompetent CSRs, and listening to the same excuse they say everytime I complain about having no connection. Yep, everyday as in every single day of my life that I need to go online, I have to call that freakin' hotline just to check my e-mails or see what's hot on the world wide web.

I should've waited for PLDT to install my phone and DSL. Subscribing to Globe Broadband is a huge mistake! I opted to subsribe to 2mb plan for a fast connection so that I could work at home, but I haven't had a decent connection since May 14 - the exact date this crappy broadband was installed. I lost a lot of money I should've earned from a job that was offered by a friend. I can't accept the job anymore because my Internet connection is so unpredictable. What they say about the problem is just the same thing. If it's just the same thing, why can't they fix it? Why is it happening everyday? Why can't you tell what the real problem is?

Globe Broadband is offering nothing but a third world broadband connection and a third world customer service. Puhhleaassee FIX YOUR SYSTEM!

woohh...that was mean I know, I just need to vent out.
