Oh My Janey

Divisoria Loot 2.0

This, by far, is my best Divisoria trip. I’m not exactly sure why but I was smiling like an idiot the entire day just because of my Divisoria trip. I was actually on a prissy mood the day before because Ate Karen, Ate Ninay, and I were supposed to book a flight to Thailand last 11.11.11 because of the P11 promo. HUHUHU. But because of our stupid internet, the slots sold out! I got so depressed that I wanted to cry. I just really want to go to Thailand because I’m so obsessed with Thai boys movies right now.

To cure my shallow depression, I decided not to hold back when Ayessa and I go to Divisoria the next day! And I didn’t, and I’m so glad that I finally let loose on money a little. I’ve been so stingy the whole year but I guess it’s time that I enjoy my hard-earned (questionable, indeed) money. I REGRET NOTHING.

I don’t know. Maybe I just loved the trip so much because it made me feel grown-up. Even though I’m already working, I rarely spend money on clothes, bags, etc. This is actually the first time I went to Divisoria and shopped using my own money. I guess it’s the reason why it’s so fulfilling. Who know. Maybe the trip just made me happy because I simply love shopping and I’m just spewing reasons to convince myself that I’m not a shopaholic. No, I’m not yet a shopaholic. [Read more…]

Forever Classless

If you’d ask me whether I’d rather be good in dancing or singing, I’d be quick to answer that I’d love to be the best dancer in the world. I am easily awed by a good dancer, and it would be awesome if I could kick some ass on the dance floor. Sure, I can also pass as a frustrated singer, but I’m really more of a frustrated dancer.

I have two left feet and Alex said I have a funny expression when I dance. (He’s often the unfortunate audience of my silly dance moves.) My sister said that she thought I’d grew up to be an agogo dancer, but I luckily didn’t! (Yay.) I don’t know how to explain it, but even I can admit that it looks pretty awful when I dance. Heh. Despite knowing that I’m a horrible dancer, I do it anyway–to everyone’s annoyance.

When Riya told me last Saturday that I should quit blogging and pursue vlogging, instead, I laughed at the idea. I hate public speaking, and vlogging, I think, passes as a form of public speaking. So no, vlogging is definitely not for me. But this idea of vlogging inspired me, of course.

I went to my lola’s house last Saturday and saw my cousin doing something on her laptop and playing some party music (whatever that is). Out of sheer fun, I borrowed my cousin’s beanie (which looked so cute on her and which made me look like a burglar) and tried to look gangsta cute. Haha.

And so this video resulted:

Heehee. I know I look kyot! That’s Ruby and she still hadn’t taken a bath when we took the video. Yet, she still looked tons better than I did. Too bad you can’t hear her laugh in the video. She’s the craziest laugher I’ve ever met. Haha.

I know I can never be a dancer, and I wouldn’t even dare bring my dancing into clubs or on the dance floor. But just let me do silly things like this and I’ll be fine. I swear I won’t be bitter that no one would ever tell me that I dance well. Just don’t make me stop dancing my silly dance moves and I can be a happy banana for the rest of time.

I would never ever venture into vlogging but shooting random  videos can be fun. Looking like a fool is my talent, and I’d probably do it again. I don’t know. Glamour and sophistication don’t really work for me. It’s awkward when I act like a lady, and people say I make seduction look like a joke. So I’d just be a klutz and wish for people to accept me for me. (I swear I don’t intend for that to sound dramatic.)

Hello Rada St.

I’m big on changes. I get easily used to new things but I still like trying something new every now and then. I welcome changes because they bring so many possibilities. This month, our office moved to a different building, just a few blocks away from the old one. For some reason, it’s something I actually looked forward to.

Though it has some downsides, there are actually some pretty good ones:

  1. It’s quite far from my dorm but it’s still within walking distance. I have to walk 15 minutes just to get there. I need that exercise. I welcome that 15-minute walk every morning and another one at night.
  2. Better elevators. I no longer have to wait forever just to ride the elevator!
  3. New things inspire me, I guess.
I cannot think past three reasons! Wow, that makes me feel lousy. I know the new office has more perks, I just haven’t thought about them yet. Heh. Also, we moved to Rada St., and I thought hard for the title of this post and that’s the only thing that came to mind. So much for creativity.

Thank you, Ate Rona, for the photo! 😀

On our last day at the old office, we had a group picture, of course. Too bad Ate Rona and Ate Anj aren’t in the picture! We took about a million shots, and I knew then that I can never be a model. Taking photos with friends can be fun but posing repeatedly can be extremely tiring, too. Good thing I’m not model-material. Ha! [Read more…]

My Desperate Appeal to Self-Doubt

I know what I love. I’ve always known what I love. I’m at the point where I’m asking myself what I want to do with my life, and I keep asking if writing is part of my big life plans. But I’m not even sure why I still ask myself that question when I’ve known for a long time that writing is the one for me. That sounds like a testimonial for a product. I don’t think I’d ever truly be happy if I’m not writing. Any form of writing will do.

I do know what I love, but why do I still feel lost?

I’m not sure when I truly started writing. There’s a bunch of old notebooks back from high school stashed in my cabinet but I know that I already loved writing when I was in grade school. I think my love for stories and writing developed at the same time. [Read more…]

5 Reasons Why I Love My Job

It has been a year since I joined my company, and I must say that it passed quite quickly! Sure, the days seem longer when I’m waiting for the next pay day (heh), but I always feel like September 2010 was just last month.

I wouldn’t go far in saying that I have the perfect job. On normal days, I’d just like to sleep in and skip work like any normal employee. (Don’t tell me you love to go to work every effin’ day. I’d call you weird. Ha.) But it’s not so bad. I do have an office job, and it gets quite repetitive at times. It also have its perks, though, and I believe I have a good job.

I know I don’t talk much about my work, because there’s not much to talk about. There are times when I don’t feel like doing it anymore! I just miss being a bum. Heh. But there are reasons why I’m still here after a year.

1. Flexible time

This is the best part really. I can go to work anytime I want. It’s easy enough to work around my schedule. Whenever I have to go anywhere, I just have to go to work early so I can leave early, too. I don’t even have to worry about being late. I have this wish that all my future jobs will have a flexible schedule, too.
