Merry Christmas 2011

sorry havent been updating but hey Merry Christmas Everyone!

So what's the game plan?

after handing my resignation ive been thinking of ways to go on with life.

1. find a high paying job (this will take months or so) then buy a new cam and study photography again, pro this time.

2. bum around for a few months (til nothing’s left on my bank account. this will not last until next year)

3. have a part time job as a call center while i wait for that high paying job or til i get a brand new cam and study photography

4. study abroad (who am i kidding?) -> unless somebody can suggest ways so a third-world country girl can live her green pasture dreams; this includes scholarship/ part-jobs/ place to live etc.

So any suggestions?

FUCK IT, I’LL HAVE TEA.

I cant bring myself to write what happened in our event yesterday.

It wasn’t bad and it didn’t suck… that much. (It was normal shit and it all went according to plan, so yeah it didn’t suck. I DON’T KNOW. My judgment can betray me.) Thing is it’s just exhausting and I’m emotionally fucked right now so having cunts as partners who questions why I didn’t bother remind her of the list of things she’s suppose to bring doesn’t help. Plus, they keep on giving me nasty stares making their faces looked like they have shit camped under their noses!

Don’t give me that look, Fugly, im not your assistant.

I really should have said that. But I haven’t handed my resignation, which I plan to right after the event. I don’t want to leave in bad terms and I swear if I did that…

oh shit didn’t I just clearly stated in the beginning that I CANT BRING MYSELF TO WRITE WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

anyway, this convinces me that I could be turning bipolar. I swear I didn’t steal any… they were given by the hotel people.

Maam, do you want to take the tea?

Sure! I lurve tea!

…

Ohhh you’re giving them all!

I just found gold baby!

Just Because

When was the last time I put something here because im just plain happy and contented? probably ages ago. So now i just want to spill some of the happy memories I had these past few days. I dont want this to be a Harry Potter post cause there are no words to really explain how ecstatic the whole world is right now. However, I still think I ought to say that watching it in 3D is the SHIZZZZ!!!!!! I probably curse the day i went all the way and watch Avatar in 3D alone (cause it's my 1st time seeing a movie alone and nausea kicks in after 5 mins of it) but Harry Potter is just perfect in 3D. It's not as overwhelming as Avatar so as to inflict more damage to my industrially blind eyes. or maybe just maybe we got the best seats...

Also, after that we went to CCP (Cinemalaya Yo!) to watch Ligo na U, Lapit na Me (a novel turned film by our brilliant mentor Sir Eros Atalia) to our most misfortune the tickets are all ready sold out. Our 2nd choice, Babae sa Septik Tank is already in full house as well so we resorted to Bisperas which to my dismay caused me a huge amount of headache. Shaky camera treatment + hideous lighting IS NOT COOL. You can call it indie, I call it lack of knowledge in cinematography. Oh yeah before that unpleasantness, Julien got to interview Sir Eros for an article she's working on and it feels so good to see his work out there! Adie also had a chance to have her book autographed while I just stood there giggling like a stupid girl. Me doing nothing while two of my friends actually made themselves visible. In any case I'll ask julien for a copy of the article so I can post it here.

After that we went to Robinson's Ermita for some clarification regarding the new process of releasing NBI Clearance If you are planning to go to any of these malls be forewarned that they only accept limited people per day. (Robinson's Galleria accepts only 300 people and they start to line up as early as 7am and the actual process starts at 10am, while Robinson's Ermita accepts only 500 people, same thing as Galleria that starts at 10am but people starts to pile up as early as 7am) I still havent figured out how to do this since I have work. Good thing they decided to have it on weekends as well. Probably just camp out one these days in one of the malls, fastfood + chips + music, yeah that should get me by.

Plus, consciously being in the middle of Manila, plus Huling El Bimbo blasting inside the cab is gives you that warmth and a sense of belongingness. Started grinning like a fool and looked outside the cab imitating a sofia coppola film. (oh and i always say maria instead of sofia whenever i talk about her, my head is not right obviously) I havent felt that for some time. Im so in love with Manila right now.

things i do lately

Few months ago I stumbled upon this local online mag while looking for a summer playlist on tumblr and well since my friends and I were bit dreaming having one of our own I just decided to just follow them and look out for any project opportunity (cause my friends and i are just too lazy to function XD) Last month they asked people to submit portfolios and whatnot next thing i know im calling friends to do a 60's inspired photoshoot.

STACHE MAGAZINE


the rest of the photoshoot i did is in HERE so if you feel like doing nothing, you might want to look. I'll be uploading more cause im on a free account on flickr im limited to upload and stuff so just these ones for now. ok?



+++

Recap of My Awesome 2010

Recap of My Awesome 2010

January

It was on the very 1^st month of the year that I lost my first job. The company closed down and left us nothing but hopes of getting better jobs right away. This however allows me to enroll on a photography workshop. More than just a fun experience I was also able to learn techniques and see the world in a different light. This is also the time when our dog, Yuki, bit me at the forehead.

This is the my favorite photo that i took during our class.

February

On February I had my second job, a PR/ Marketing stint for an events company. My dream job! Unfortunately, I only lasted for two weeks. Confused and emotionally exhausted I decided to quit it when another job offer came. It was fun while it last.

This was taken in a presidential suite during a photoshoot in that event stint. Sorry cant name the hotel. hahaha

March

I started as a Marketing Associate in an IT company.

April..

May­

We had our first company outing! It wasn’t that much but it was fun to be a part of something like this. I only see this on jdramas and now it sort of makes me feel like a grown up; preparing food, goofing around the pool, videokeing and stuff.

I also happened to interview Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional! All thanks to Marice Lupoy for dragging me to their presscon. I was an instant photog/ interviewer!

We are stranded here going to Laguna due to a fire going to slex.

That's Dashboard Confessional + Miggy Chavez, (the one sticking out his tongue) my ex. (He is my ex in my mind and heart)

June

My first event. Looking back it wasn’t that difficult but you can’t ignore the weight of the responsibility because that what gets you.


Thanking renz, eason, lorivic, carlo and ms chrissy before and during the event.

July

August

September

me + boy + hotel. It was I who initiated. For the people who know me this is rather shocking. Well I am surprised myself. Don’t you just love it when you do things you lazily imagine? I mean you think of things, thousand of things you wanted to do and you only do 1 out of 1000. And that 1 happens to be the safest, most convenient and most expected of you of society. So when you act differently, uncommon of your nature, that’s crossing boundaries right? Well this is only one time and nothing comes out of it, but it was fun!

CLUE: It’s nothing sleazy, not even close.

CA1 Reunion at Zaragosa’s residence! These are the awesome people I spent my four years of college life with.


CA1! :)

October

WHERE DO I BEGIN? My October is filled with alcohol, night driving and new people whom I would like to be a part of me for the rest of my life. Those things a 16 year old does, I sort of did that. Im 23 WTF! Well im a very submissive girl in my early stage of life. My school is a few blocks away from our house so there is really no excuse for me to be not home 5-10 minutes after school. So now I wanted to try being a bitch. Some of you would say Im an idiot for defying my elders, some would roll their eyes for disbelief that im only doing this now. You see I have a very conservative, sarado-katoliko family (this is an understatement) And up til now when the sun goes down it is but a duty to be at home. There are exceptions though because they are (according to them) lenient in this day and age. I can be not home at night when I have school projects and for now when I have to do overtime at work. And men do I have my overtime. I am introvert alright but I like the company of few close friends. We don’t have to do a lot of things, just hang out, kill time, drink alcohol and coffee non-stop, and discuss the things that happened that day, the nasty and good ones, so on and so forth.

This is is also the month when I got my 1st airplane ride! HAHAHAHAHA Ang jologs ko! (So my family don’t like going out that much. They hate the rural, change, and things unknown aside from Manila stuff. WTF! Man do I belong.) My destination, Davao! Well it’s not so different from Manila, except from having superb fruits (God they are the sweetest! I love living in a tropical country and for having the best fruits in the world!) Anyways, when I got back to Manila I got the worst drunk-mode ever. I lost my phone coming to Manila, I got a bit emotional and yada.. I sort of cried, sang stupidly, scream non-stop along Espana, and throws up at some Starbucks. Thank you my cool friends for understanding. I woke up like nothing happened, (I haven’t got any hangover, ever!) went to a mall and then went home just like that.


that's ella, sir mon and me going loco for fruits in Davao!

November

November is a continuation of October. Fuck.

Lesson learned: NEVER EVER DRINK WITH YOUR MANAGERS. EVER!

Its also the Ohno birthday celebration! Beat that cool party!


ryan, ej, gladys, me and my intern cams. This is before we get stupid drunk.


me and elli at the ohno party at a hotel or is that a condo? lol so confused.

December

Im a good girl for December and it wasn’t intentional. I did go home super late but that’s nothing compared to October and November. Anyways we are busy bees for the company Christmas party! I am actually thrilled that my suggested theme got picked, ChristMASK! So there goes the party. Our department did not win the talent show, but it was nice to see everyone putting their best in events like this.

Paskuhan was ok. It was just like the other Paskuhans. But what is awesome in this big UST Christmas Party are the people you may or may not see. It’s a surprise of some sort that excites you; if you will see this old friend or classmate or your most hated teacher. I love Paskuhan because I get to check out on boys! AHAHAHA I love pretty boys. (Hello Arashi!) and it saddens me that most the pretty boys in the corporate world are non existent. I have no idea why.

My holiday is usual. Cook here and there, hear mass and stuff. I had my vacation leave so I don’t have to go to work for 9 days! (THIS IS HEAVEN FOR A WORKING PERSON!) but it ended up being a sick leave since i have my colds and fever like a leech for days.


marice, fresh and me at the paskuhan.

My ITG family during our Christmas Party! Can you spot me?

That’s about it. It will be January 1, 2011 in a few hours. So Happy New Year!

Goals for 2011? - Work, Love and Travel.
