Thanks to my sister soulmate BALHOT...RASHA na galing pang Manila...EISEN, my super friend-neighbor ever sa LB...at pinagtiyagaan ang niluto kong spaghetti. LOL. At sa Kuya JERROLD na humabol sa bar at nagbayad ng share ko.

My State of Mind @ 23

It’s been 9 days since I turned 23, and I’m trying to figure out if there are changes that happened in all aspects of myself. Hmmm…obviously, I earned another year, but aside from that, nothing else… I’m still the immature girl that I used to be. Though I must admit that I learned a lot since I left LB and decided to work here in Makati (di na ako takot mawala…I can travel alone confidently).

WORK
I’m now working in this very new environment for only one and a half months. Until now, I can’t tell if I like my job or not. Here, lawyers are everywhere…office hours are indefinite… and sometimes I get really bored because I'm doing nothing. Maybe I’m still in the process of adjustment. But the salary is good and so are the people. What I find interesting here is that I can see a lot of well known personalities in the office, specially those people in politics :) (Haha, na-starstruck ba?).

Living here also helped me to be more independent. At least now, I have no brother to look after me.

FUTURE
I’m still finding my niche. Definitely I do not intend to stay here for long. I'm not sure yet if I will go back to school and have my Masterals...Or maybe I’ll decide to work abroad... But I know there are lots of good things in store for me this year.

SO. I’ll take it easy and just enjoy being 23 :)

Today Is My Birthday! :)

I'll start this with my horoscope in friendster. Kahit di ako masyado naniniwala sa horoscopes, siguro it's worth knowing my horoscope today.

PISCES. Appearance is very important today --but not in a shallow way. It's inner beauty and the romance of illusion that will really get you ahead. Your outlook on life will be cheered by the very things that make your heart flutter. You will also be attracted to brighter, clearer visuals, so it's a great day to check out a new movie, go to an art gallery, or taking a walk in nature. Soak up things that you find profoundly beautiful, not perfect (there is a big difference, and you know it).

True enough, I feel like I am the prettiest girl alive inside and out. LOL. Well, it's because I am in my most positive mood today and I'm certain that there are no negatives that can ruin my day... And yes, my horoscope is right, I did WALK in [nature] Makati ...and got soaked with sweat early morning because luckily, today is also the date of the nationwide strike of the different transport groups.

Anyways here's a summary of my day today, March 11, 2008...

NATIONWIDE STRIKE OF DIFFERENT TRANSPORT GROUPS
I woke up smiling even if I know that there is a strike! Haler, it's my birthday, I will not allow this strike thing ruin my day (Kahit grabeng struggle ko sa paghahanap ng masasakyan at medyo mahaba-haba rin nilakad ko for me to be able to reach the office...at sobrang init. Pero siyempre, dapat happy ako. hmpf)!


OFFICE
They gave me my first 23rd birthday cake =) Thanks so much guys!
l



TEXT GALORE
Since last night I've been receiving calls and text messages from my family and friends. Papa, Mama, Kuya Christian, Kuya Jerrold, JR, Kimmy, Dennis, Rosalyn, Ma'am Ciejay, Weeway, Rica, Kyla, Tamcyn, Bess, Kuya Joel, John Rey, Jean, My sisses sa soro: Rizza, Empay, Rasha, Lhot, Kathy, Inaanak, Ninang, lahat ng bumati hehe (can't name them all) thank you soooo much.


COLBIE CALLIAT @ GLORIETTA

and...Super-Duper THANKS for those who celebrated my birthday with me, kahit KKB kase wala pa ako sweldo hehe...promise to follow yung libre, haha!


INNA - my batchmate sa soro, who came straight from work at 24-hours ng gising. Love you batch! Muaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


AIA - my bedmate, kahit papilit effect, pumunta pa din wearing a new blouse! Hehe.
EISEN - na binadtrip muna ako dahil di daw siya pupunta dahil walang masakyan. Thanks so much, he came all the way from LB at nag-under time sa work. Why not di ba? EFFORT!
AR - na sinundo ako sa office and keeps greeting me sa YM.
