Perception and work woes.

Written by on October 2, 2011

Since I left my previous job, I’ve been trying to figure out what I should do with my life. These days the pressure to work for monetary gains is really high. I want to pursue pastry arts but the tuition fee is quite expensive and I still need to account for living expenses and savings. I’ve been thinking how much hotel jobs, like Baggage Porter Jobs and housekeeping services earn in tips and it seems quite lucrative. However, I’m not too sure how my parents will take it if I consider those options.

People these days are still too worried about what other people will say. I guess I really can’t change their perception but it doesn’t mean I have to change mine.

Cold and Rainy October

Written by on October 1, 2011

October begins with Typhoon Quiel badgering lots of Filipinos. Many barely survived the onslaught of Typhoon Pedring a few days ago but now they are facing another storm. Floods haven’t dissipated yet on many areas and if the coming typhoon brings in more wind and water, flood levels will just rise.

Many thought and hoped that the floods of Ondoy would never happen again but it did. Our government really needs to work on revamping the drainage system of the country or we’ll end up with the same predicament each time a new typhoon passes by.

Wake me up when September ends.

Written by on September 26, 2011

Hah. That’s exactly how I feel right now. October is fast approaching and I feel that I haven’t done anything this September. My morale has been low since I left my previous job so I was spending a lot of time sleeping in. I’m hoping the coming month would be kinder to me.

I can feel Christmas already. It’s so cold in our place now and the nights have started to run longer. I wish we’d have this cold weather until Christmas, but I can do without the rain. I like cold, not wet, weathers. I wonder if I’ll get to buy Christmas presents this year. Although I still have to think about friends who’ll be celebrating their birthdays next month. I’d like to get each of them an opal birthstone jewelry but since I’m out of the workforce right now, maybe a birthday card will do.

Cheap shoes and rain don’t work together.

I need some new shoes. I was trying to save some money on shoes when I started working but I ended up spending more because the cheap ones I got doesn’t stand well on rainy weathers. :( I really liked them because they were really comfortable but I guess they can only take so much. Maybe I can buy myself a pair of privo shoes this Christmas. I usually wear casual clothing and I really am tired of wearing sandals all the time. My sister saw me looking over some designs and I think she’s interested in getting one for herself as well.

Halloween is coming.

Written by on September 20, 2011

I don’t really celebrate Halloween but I do enjoy watching Halloween episodes of TV programs and series. I haven’t really tried wearing costumes but I would like to try it sometime. I saw a sexy red wig that I’d love to try since dyeing my hair red doesn’t work. I’ve tried several times with a local hairdresser but my hair is just too dark for it to work so i always ended up with a reddish shine than color . :(

I’d love to pair it with a white Grecian gown, a gold pair of sandals and gold necklace with red details. I’m really loving red these days. Maybe I’m starting to embrace my Arian side (Yep, I’m an Aries baby). :)
