Well, this, I think, is the third installment of my rather long blog entry. It’s just so funny because things keep happening and I always want to share them with you guys, hence, I couldn’t end this entry. But hey, I think I’m finally seeing the light. So just read on, this might be the end of it (just bear with the typo errors, I swear I don’t know what to do with them!).
June 7I walked along the streets of Makati with my homegirl Kups to look for work. Well, it was really amusing, since we set our moods for this jobhunting adventure, which we knew was gonna be exhausting, so we first chilled and feasted on Pizza Hut’s Cheesy Volcano crust (You guys gotta try it, yummy!) to energize us later on. After that, we began walking the streets, breezing through hotels to drop our resume and ask for their rates. Yeah well, since we’re gonna be having our events biz, we might as well start early on the research. After that, I met with my babe and my homegirl Tae to go to the supermarket because my mom asked me to. I went home with blisters on my feet, and swore that I’m not gonna wear those killer heels again! But was it worth it? Aside from the fact that I almost bagged two jobs that day but I didn’t accept it because my parents felt it wasn’t for me, I think it was great. I had the chance to gab away with my bestbud again, we never see the end of our catching up, and going home with my babe and my homegirl. I’d say I had a great day, if only these blisters wouldn’t stay too long, it doesn’t look so nice…

Actually, I just spent the day pigging out with Jai and Tae. Well, little miss vixen, my bestfriend Kups, went here to lend me her SLR camera. And I got so obsessed with it! I think I have this eye for things, so I’m trying to venture in another new art for me, that’s photography. We also started brainstorming for Camille’s (tae’s friend) debut. Well, what can I say? I don’t mean to brag or anything, but hey, we’re really good! Maybe perpetually watching The O.C. really helped us think of bright ideas. You know how the heroine there is the Social Chair for their high school (that’s why we could definitely relate).
So if you guys know anyone who’s gonna be celebrating her debut or 7th birthday (since it is considered the big coming of age for kids) or gonna get married, or just need help to throw a really fabulous party or event, just get in touch with me, leave a tag or something. I swear, we’re really good! (We’re super keen on the details and really dedicated) And hear this, the first client (which was supposed to be Camille but I think she backed out, because she wanted to get a condo instead of a party) gets to have our services for free! Of course, if you pass our, well, standards. (wink!)
I dunno, I just loved that day, maybe because I spent time with my homegirls. An elite circle that I call for the girls closest to my heart. My sister Kaye, my cousin Tae, and Little Miss Vixen herself, my bestfriend Kups. We just have a lot of fun together. Nonstop talking and laughing, playing around. Well, someone’s starting to become another homegirl too, Joycey. Naku, I’m starting to miss that gal.
June 10
Just watched All About Love with my homegirls, Tae, Kaye and Joycey. Of course, I enjoyed the movie, you know I have a thing for romantic flicks, especially if it’s from Star Cinema. I had a blast watching Joyce so weirded out with the whole thing. We were supposed to watch The Omen, but we talked her into watching that instead, because we have free tickets. Joycey isn’t really the kikay type like my sister (but that’s what I love about her, she’s pa-cute in her own terms, yet she fits us, in a funny way), so the whole idea of watching a cheesy tagalog flick was so strange to her.
The sad part came in the evening, when my babe and I got into a huge fight… Well… I dunno if I just heard this line from somewhere, or if I have accidentally made it myself. But when I thought things might never be okay again, I wrote:
“I just wanna fall asleep and never wake up. I’m afraid that when I do, I might never hold your hand again, and I’m scared that I could no longer smile again…”
June 11
Woke up from a really bad night, but my babe and I patched things out so the day turned out to be fine. Hehe. Actually, nothing could ever go wrong when we’re together. Gosh, I know I’m sounding so cheesy again. That night, we had dinner with Tito Nelson, Tita Bonnie and the gang at Chef de Angelo. Yumm! And then we all headed to Sitcom to have a good laugh. We had an awesome time there, even when the hosts made fun of our little “iced tea party”. They found it so unusual for a group of people to go to a comedy bar and have a good time without drinking alcohol. Well, that’s not our problem anymore. It may actually seem peculiar for them, but we’re actually getting used to it. I’m so proud of my peeps. Well, I think college will be so full of trials and temptations for them, but I know they’ll get through with it if they just stick to their convictions.
June 12 We went to Pulo for the GK Nationwide build. We were assigned to complete the profiles of the kids who’ll be going to school there next week. Not really that exhausting. But I found myself so blessed to see people working for GK. And it’s not only us who have been fortunate in life, but I saw how GK and God worked through those beneficiaries whose lives were touched by Gawad Kalinga. Before, it was us who were pulling them get out of the fit that was their lives, but now, they are actually helping each other, lifting them from their impoverished situation. It’s amazing. We also helped paint the walls of the would-be school. From boring and eyesore gray, we transformed it into sunny and bright yellow, with plants and a bamboo fence. We were so pleased with what we did, and I know God was truly pleased too. I talked to Tita Tin, because she was gonna be teaching the kids there thrice a week. So I told her that I could help while I don’t have a job yet. So there, I’m gonna be the teacher-aide, and I’m so excited. You know I love kids. The day was tiring, but it was all so worth it. I think I even got more than I deserved, because I got a sweet surprise. My babe gave me a handful of chocolates that afternoon (I told you, I take pleasure in simple, thoughtful things. It melts my heart). And that was the kiss to seal my beautiful day.
June 13The pressure’s sinking in now, since it’s officially the start of the academic year for most schools. And I’m still bumming! Can you believe it? Just when I thought every company was waiting to gobble me up after my graduation… Well, I couldn’t say that I’m having trouble looking for work. Until today, the count for the number of job offers I’ve turned down is, (drumroll please) four. And it isn’t just because I’m being picky. I’m just being the good daughter that I am, always considering what my parents think. Well, I guess nothings ever good enough for me for them. They just think I deserve better than to settle for any job. It’s really hard being a media lord’s daughter. So to put my time to better use (and its because we have no internet at home), I’m trying to learn new skills, like photography and Adobe Photoshop and Power Director to arm myself with the things I need in order to survive in the world of media.
Anyways, I’m just gonna miss Joyce and Samboy so much. We’ve all been inseparable for the past month. I’ve gotten used to hearing from them, or seeing them most of the time. Well, it’s busy mode again for most of us. Especially for Joyce, who’s in far Espanya now… I just wish the bond we had will stay and continue to grow. Anyways, she’s also a forever girl for me. Small shirts, hehe…
June 14I went to Makati with my mom, and we just shopped for shoes. I’m finally parking my flip-flops for now, my blistered feet (grrr…) need extra TLC. But I can’t say that I’ve been neglecting it, I dedicate three minutes to scrub them everyday. I bought two pairs of really cool granny shoes. Hehe. They’re so vintage, and they love my feet, so I’m lovin them too. I got home to find my homegirl and a new friend waiting for me, so I did my best to whip up a really delish snack for them. Okay, so I promised Kups I won’t say anything yet, because we’ve learned that anticipating sometimes turns into jinxes. So I’ll just shut my mouth with a silly smirk on my face, for I think good things are coming for my bestest pal.
Well, well, well… Isn’t my life such a party? (wink!) Things just keep on happening and I just get so overwhelmed that my life can’t get any boring at all. Okay, so you’ve come to the end of this rather long entry. But you’ll still be hearing from me of course, okay, I’ll try to update my blog one day at a time, so my entries won’t turn out to be this long. Tata for now! Watch out of my next entry!
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
