Week 1 Lesson

Happy Happy Valentines! <3

Okay sorry! I'm a day late, been adjusting to the reality of working again. Honestly, I'm super tired during the first part of the week :/ We had a training last Wednesday and I swear, if I just blinked a second longer, I would have dozed off right there. Pinches just didn't do it anymore. So I had to picture the possible outcome: dozing off and waking up in the meeting room alone, and going back to my station to the news that "the newbie slept during training!!!" So I imagined that while I pray. And the desire to keep my job and God's grace prevailed. Thank you Lord!




Also, my wardrobe needs a major makeover, casual clothes must be replaced by corporate wear, and yes... closed shoes heels for four days a week. I'm going to miss my flats! :( I realized that in my old job naman, I wear heels at least once a week, but I didn't seemed to mind, but months of wearing flats and my feet just seemed to scream help!

So you see, every bit of me just seems to be in the adjustment mode these days, but thank God that I'm still yet to be late! Woot woot! I wake up at 5:30am, out the door by 6:30am and at the office before 8am! :) Seriously guys, if you know me, you would know how big of a challenge this is for me. Nung college palang, struggle na ang 7:30am class ng philo and travel time to our school from my house is a measly 20 minutes... Dibaaa kahiya.. That's why I owned the seat at the back for that particular class, perfect for pasimple na entrance :P

I think these days, God is teaching me discipline and being a good steward of my time and finances. I would have wanted to be in a more loose environment but I want to think that He placed me here for a reason. And  that possible lesson has crossed my mind this week, because just like what Rick Warren said, “God is more interested in your character than your comfort."

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.

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. And it shows the moment you enter one of the rooms. The s...

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
