Back to the Corpy World! :)

It's official! I have a new job!

I just signed the contract today, and really, the struggle it took me to make this decision was pretty wild. If you have seen me yesterday, texting peepz to pray for me and those phone conversations with the company giving me 15 minutes to decide whether to take the job or not ("Ermm... Ano ba..? Hmm.. Wait ah.. Uhmmm..") But when I finally made the decision, I never did once turn back. It's like all my apprehensions went kapoof. And I was real happy signing that contract today.




It's amazing how God made sure to give me what I prayed for specifically as far as my career is concerned. I prayed for a job by (1) February (and look, He is not a day late! Haha!), (2) for a marketing/bizdev role  (3) fulfilling job (it's end to end, from launching to monitoring, so it might be challenging but its success will be like your baby) (4) in a happy environment (I was little worried about this because they're really corporate but I have actually told my boss prior to the job offer about my Bora trip in March and she was real cool about it. That's a good sign -- I smell people who value work-life balance!) and (5) good compensation (wink wink!)

And on the last minute yesterday, He made sure I get to tick off these items on my career checklist! Amazing!!

I'm pretty excited, thanks to all the prayers and to God for blessing me with this :) So I am really moving to a new career huh. My family and I are planning on moving out from our rented abode this year, but it seems that God is moving me to different places and areas in life. From the small movements like moving to a new blogging platform, to big movements like being in a relationship to being single again, and this time, career moves like this, His peace and joy has been my strength.

All these changes are kind of scary, I am actually scared that all the stress and busy-ness might again plunge me into the sea of burn out and unhappiness. BUT I don't want to worry this great news away :) Positive vibes, back on!

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
