BLOG HIATUS

Will not blog until I'm better.

Don't worry, I'm fine. 

It's just that I've been writing entries but I keep deleting them before I even hit the publish button.

Yehey!

Today mom, Lola and I went to Trinoma. They actually went to the dentist because Lola had to fit her dentures then I just met up with them at the mall. 

Lola wanted a haircut so I brought her to Acqua Salon. On our way there...OMG...There was a WWF Booth along the hallway. Does it ring a bell? Well, remember the interview I ran away from? That's what they do! The trainees are sent to do fieldwork either in the mall booths or office areas to find donors for their clients- in this case WWF. I walked briskly to avoid them- to my horror, I recognized one of the people at the booth. She was the officer I had my fieldwork with. OMG. And the other one was my classmate in my orienteering class back in junior year in UP. Grabe, my mom kept teasing me. She said she'll tell Daddy about it. HAHAHA 

Anyhooo, back to the haircut...Lola's cut was done by Mr. Narry. I signed up next since there were a few people at that time and I have always wanted to try out the style of Mr. Narry. MYGOSH for the second time in that salon, I didn't make it to his salon seat. A different stylist arrived just a few minutes before I was called to the seat. KALOKA DIBA? Parang twice I tried na, and twice I failed. Swerte ng Lola ko. haha I shall try for the third time. haha Feeling ko kasi siya yung pinaka magaling sa kanila coz people really set an appointment with him. Oh, which reminds me, on my third try, I will set an appointment. But my cut was also good. So I guess they're all good in Acqua.  The best part? Lola paid for my haircut. YAY!

We walked around the mall and dropped by Charles and Keith. Earlier I already saw a pretty bag. When I showed it to mom, she liked it and approved of it so I decided to get it. My mom looked around and saw all the pretty black bags they had. I asked her to choose. She checked a few bags but she didn't want me to buy it for her. While paying, mom and Lola waited for me outside the store. I told the saleslady to get me a new stock of the bag my mom chose and got it for her. I gave it to mom and she asked 'Ano toh?' I said 'Binili ko para sayo. Graduation gift.' Wala lang, I think mom deserves some special treatment coz she always puts herself last. Usually she doesn't buy her bags because she can always borrow from me.

The cutest surprise of the day was when Julian, Sarah and Jom followed to Trinoma as well. Wala lang, I just love it when we're all together. Sana nga Dad and Joop flew in also but Joop has school so he can't just come over. I'm really excited for Joop to enter college. We're all gonna be together here in Manila.

HAAAY WHAT A DAY. Next week I'll probably have dinner with my non-BA friends and also a separate dinner with the Wonder Girls. Then in August, Bicol work trip with Dad. I'm excited!

RUNAWAY

No, it's not the song in Ryan and Juday's wedding. It's more like... I RAN AWAY FROM AN INTERVIEW. hahaha

Yesterday I went to Makati for my last set of interviews for a certain company. To my surprise, they sent us with their officers to join them in their field work.  THE IDEA OF DOING FIELD WORK KILLED ME. But I still went on with the field work. I was assigned to Ian and Rina- two of the business development officers of the company. We walked around the Makati business district and I was wearing heels. 

When we got to the first building, the back of my heels were already injured- as in tuklap level (fudger!). I wanted to change into my sandals because Ms. Rina was wearing flats also. I asked her if I could change, she allowed me naman but Sir Ian wouldn't stop walking. I don't want to get lost so I endured wearing heels until around 12 noon. We stopped at MiniStop (haha no pun intended) and FINALLY I was able to change into my flats. Ian discussed a lot of stuff about the company and quizzed me about it. He then revealed what my practical exam was... TO SELL MY CELLPHONE TO HIM kunyari. I SUPER DIED AT THIS POINT. I WANTED TO RUN OUT OF MINISTOP AND RIDE A CAB. I hate being sales-talked so how much more do the talking diba? I felt it was total BS doing the job (face to face marketing). 

We left MiniStop and moved to two more buildings. Finally he made me do my sales pitch- IN THE ELEVATOR. I ALMOST FAINTED. I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING BULLIED IN A STUPID WAY. Well he said I did a good job in the pitch. And then fa-hay-na-leeeeh, he sent me back to the office. I made my way out of the building, called up my mom and said I'm leaving. I walked along Valero Street, not sure if it's the right way. Thank goodness there are Makati roving guards who were kind enough to tell me where to go. 

I finally saw the building, made my way to the lobby and got my ID. I went back to the office but the receptionist was not at her desk so I decided to call her on the phone. It was a crazy idea because I was just at the opposite wing of the same floor. I can even see her as we talk. After informing them that I won't continue with the last part of the interview, it felt so free I could scream. It was one of the best feelings in this part of my life. So I guess it was the right thing to do. I just didn't want to waste their time and mine since I know in my heart that I won't be taking that job.

I rode a cab to Greenbelt to meet up with mom. I texted her "Ikain mo ako ha? Hindi pa ako naglalunch." She did feed me! We even bought Sebastian's ice cream. Yehey! We didn't stay long in Makati. We rode the MRT to Trinoma and did our malling there. Glorietta is just too weird now that almost half of it is covered. Greenbelt is kinda nakakailang when you don't have enough funds to shop around. In Trinoma we just looked around and took home Brothers Burger for dinner. We just kept laughing about my crazy day.

And now I'm enduring probably a week or two of painful and throbbing back-of-heel injury. It super hurts but it doesn't matter. It's over now.

TEST SHOTS

I got my new Nikon D60 DLSR last Friday. My lola arrived from the States and she hand carried the cam so it was the first thing she took out when she got here.

Saturday night I studied Nikon tutorials on Youtube and eagerly tried the concepts I learned the day after.

Here are the best shots so far. I placed my name in the barest parts of each frame so it wont cover even the minute details in the photo. FYI, None of these shots were taken in the auto mode. HAHA!

Now I have something to play with so that I won't get bored. I hope everyone's doing good!

Things people write on Facebook

I just want to quote witty, cute, funny posts by my contacts on fb.

Here's one from Ching:

Two Types of People in the world

Type I - they are the ones who wear rose-colored glasses, believe in destiny and that their Prince Charming exists. They just don't have any idea who it is. They wait all their lives for The One to arrive, having no clue who He may be, but when He arrives, they welcome their love with open arms and gratefulness. A longing exists, as well as the pondering whether you would be alone or not..a longing for someone to walk in your life and sweep you off your feet.

Type II - they're really not much different from Type I. But Type II are people who in contrast with Type I have no clue in the first place what love's all about... until they meet The One at the onset of their lives. The One is the reason they hold on to the belief in destiny, and for them there is only ONE Prince Charming. They may welcome love once in a while, but their heart doesn't really rest until it is with The One. And this is what they wait and long for all their lives... hoping their one and only Prince Charming comes back.

Here's from Zahara: If I won't have it, you won't either! hahaha talk about selfishness.

Some people treat is as Twitter and I'm like...wait lang, post on twitter nalang. Pati yung kinakain nila at the moment, they post pa on fb. nakakaloka. haha

Here's a little message from Christine of Happyslip.
