Another episode of...ANG TANONG!

Ahahaha natatawa naman ako sa title ko. Anyhooo, this time it's on a more serious note.

After reading a post from a college friend and fellow blogger Javidoods, I thought to myself talaga...WHY? So ang tanong ay...

Why do I want to get a great, high-paying and enjoyable job? Take note ha, not just high-paying...ENJOYABLE DAPAT. 

My reasons (superficial or otherwise) are as follows:

1. To finance my lifestyle. haha 

I like to describe my spending habit this way- I don't spend a lot all the time. I choose what to spend for. I'm more of a quality over quantity person when it comes to my things. But I have learned in my long shopping days to find cheap thrills and good buys as well. Most of my money goes to my family, friends and myself. I use my funds to 'build and strengthen relationships'.

I've been saving up for a DLSR since my Cybershot died months ago. Thank God I found sponsors for it. My mom's siblings in the States will be getting it for me since I won't be availing of their grad treat (trip to the USA haha parang raffle). It's coming in July. Mejo matagal pa pero kebs. Now my savings will be in tact. Hopefully it'll be enough to keep me afloat while I wait for THE job.

2. To be able to travel to the many places I want to visit. My top destination goals are Batanes (ang mahaaaal ng airfare via SEAIR haha), Villa Milagros in Cebu, and Hundred Islands in Pangasinan. Actually I want to visit a lot of places in the Philippines but these three are my top of mind destinations. Out of the country destinations include Paris, New York and Burobudur in Indonesia. hehe

3. To be able to give back more. 'Nuff said.

4. To retire early. hahaha How I wish I could 'live on interest' by age **. hahaha secreeeet! Baka ma jinx! 

5. To not feel like working at all. I want every working day something to look forward to. As many successful people say, do what you love and you won't be working at all.

Haaay, what's a girl to do? I just want to enjoy life. Can I get paid to do that? Please let me know. haha

Oh, which reminds me...someone already won the BEST JOB IN THE WORLD. Good for you Mister Ben Southall sir. YAY! Ako rin sana ganyan, kahit somewhere in the Philippines lang. hehe

Happy rainy vacation, y'all!

Filipino and Proud!

This post is about all things Filipino. I've always believed we are an amazing race and we are super blessed with an equally amazing country. Here are some stuff we can be proud of.

1. Mabuhay guides. I learned about them from Carlos Celdran's blog. They're a bunch of young Filipinos who underwent intensive training under the Department of Tourism. They are well versed about the Philippines- history, arts, culture, cuisine- basically anything Filipino. And their job? To be the official guides of prime ministers, diplomats and even celebrities who will visit the country. They will be earning P4,000 a day and P5,000 for those who know a foreign language other than English. Plus travel ang photo op- not bad. haha

2. Camiguin. They have their version of Boracay Island- only much peaceful and smaller. The White Island of Camiguin is known for its white (duh) sand. What's amazing is that this island only appears on a low tide. I've been here maybe 10 years ago and I can't wait to come back. That time, the manongs told us a story where a couple got stranded on the island so they had to stay overnight because the next banca will arrive in the morning. Shempre nag high tide, ayun naka tip-toe sila all night. hahaha benta talaga yung kwento.

3. Our  very own...KEBERLOO! hahaha Inspired by the hit tv series Gossip Girl, Emm Enriquez launched his own version. Keberloo stays in touch with the Pinoy culture as the non-incognito Keberloo talks about his (and his friends) adventures, random thoughts, kilig moments and whatnots. Sneak into Keberloo's crazy world here.
