2 weeks....

currently listening to : string quartet (Coldplay songs)
current mood : confused


For those who are close to me, you'd probably understand my blog title for this entry. It is the time I've been working. I got my FIRST ever pay slip. and thanks to those tax stuff, my already-low salary is now lower. haha! :D But it's okay, The first week was like a rollercoaster of emotions but now because of work. Because of the many complications that things bring at the same time when I started working. Call it coincidence or maybe, it's simply fate playing its games.

I even cried because I feel like I have to choose over things that are important to me. I was so worried that I just kept myself busy at work to distract my mind over some things. I so miss not working. I control my time (well most of the time anyway), I get to do things without rushing so much. I can go online ALL DAY. I can be productive and at the same time do things that I like. I was probably super stressed the first week. I realized too that super totoo yung sinasabi nung manghuhula last time!:D

Anyways, just wanna share some rehearsal pics of David Archuleta near our office!:D I also saw David Cook!!!! :D But it was too far away...



When I took this pic, I wish I could leave a video while the set up and fast forward the video when viewing it. It would have been cool to do that!


With a view of the bay:D



Since I brought my camera with me, I also took the chance to shoot IMAX!



See the guy in light blue shirt? That's David Archuleta! :D He was singing songs loud enough for me to hear in our office!




Still Singing....


I just wanted to shoot this as well and the numerous bouncers around the vicinity!



I was wondering why they are called bouncers?

What else? Well, I'm so sleepy right now! I was supposed to write movie reviews and game reviews! Oh wellz, maybe soon!:D

I learned and did a lot of new things eversince I started working! But what strucked me the most was that one time, nakasabay ko yung janitor sa elevator. He was actually nice and nagbabati. And I joked na "si kuya o bihis na bihis ah" then he told me that he was still going to school. I was shocked. Imagine, ako, all I wanted to do was to go home and this person after work still goes to school. napa-WOW talaga ako! And I told him. Wow kuya! Ok yun ah! Ituloy mo lang yan!:) I'm not sure if I heard it right pero sa PAL daw siya nag aaral. I wish him all the luck! Sobrang napabilib ako sa kanya:)

I learned a lot of new things but I'm very sure that I will learn much more this coming weeks and months. I just hope I can handle it. the most hectic part in my work hasn't arrived yet. I just remembered something so weird. I remember something during the start of my college days. And something happened this week that made me realize something.

I still have a long list of To Do's and Wanted to Do's :D I'll probably and hopefully blog about it tomorrow:D

P.S. the title also shows how long I have been driving (minus some days like today, this wednesday and sundays) :D

Ballet Philippines 40th

The highlight of my day today was to watch my cousin's daughter dance ballet at CCP. She's still a kid probably taking up preschool. She's super cute and adorable. As far as I remember, this was my first time to watch ballet LIVE! It was nice and I was so smitten with the kids dancing ballet. They're super cute and funny! I had a great time! And what I enjoyed the most was that I was able to spend some time with my cousin's daughter! She's so cute and funny!

Anyways, I got a text today saying that I have an orientation on Monday. I was wondering if this was already the start of my work and if I'm paid for it or not. I thought I was going to drive the car that was exchanged for the Rav4... But when I checked, I saw that it is on manual! NoOo!!! :(

I don't like to drive the Civic, :( It's too fast and big for me. I still like Suzuki Swift! :D I just wonder if my shobe will let me drive the Swift though. We'll see:D

So many things to blog, oh so little time!

I still haven't finished my vacation trip blogs. I will really try this weekend. Sheesh! I feel like I start work next week and I'm so nervous! :D Anyways, just a summary of what happened today! Submitted my requirements, unfortunately, the HR in charge was on leave so I couldn't get my contract. So I have to come back tomorrow or something. So I just went to MOA and picked up my Dad's eyeglasses and meet up with my shobe. :D Then we ate at Teriyaki Boy. hehehe! I really like the spicy tuna sashimi with tempura flakes. But I like Sugi's Spicy tuna sashimi with tempura flakes better:D Walked around, bought things. Saw Pao Tsin! Oh I miss Pao Tsin!!! hahahahaha:)

Anyways, the highlight of my day was when I drove home. I think I am more confident to drive and change lanes. Well, wala naman kasi mashadong traffic! that's why!:))

Thank goodness I got home safely, I know my shobe would be mad if I bumped her car:)) hahahaahhaa!

Anyways, will try to post reviews of the movies too! wahhh So many things to do but oh so little time!:)

Fruitful Day!

Woke up around 7 in the morning but still felt sleepy so I woke up around 730 or so. Showered around 8am and left the house before 9. arrived at the medical center around 9+ and guess what. My estimate would be around 150 persons cramping up in a small place. Got my blood sample which really hurt!!! I wonder if diabetic people do this everyday. It hurts noh!! Then chest x-ray. Then while chatting with the people beside me. I did something very spontaneous like going to NBI carriedo to get my NBI clearance. LRT to Carriedo. Got a little scared because if I saw it right, I saw a guy pickpocketing someone's cellphone. :( But who knows, It might be something else, right? Grabe! Imagine NBI has around 4 floors? (not sure) and the line was from outside the building!

Anyways, I finally got my NBI clearance!:D Went home via LRT again! Yehey! I feel so fulfilled! :D I never thought I could go to NBI on my own! :D and to think that it was a spur of the moment thingie:)

I was supposed to blog/review on some DS/Wii games and movies I recently watched. But again, I didn't have time. :D

Anyways, I'm still thinking about the Job Offer. I'm still quite unsure if this would be the right path for me. Now I understand quarter life crisis! So I'd probably live until 80+ Just Kidding!:)

Gotta go for now:) I'll try to post some movie and game reviews:) Oh which reminds me, I'd change my layout soon!:D
