God has plans

got the urge to write about today cos today's so awesome that i want to extract all my creative juices and give life back to my dying blogsite. by the way, got the title from a friend's fb status (thanks yna!).

i've been bugging my sis for quite some time to accompany me to cmc and cal in up diliman to find myself a master's degree program. however, she kept on insisting that she's so busy and have no time to accompany me. yesterday, i was really planning to take the step to bring direction to my pointless life and decided that hell yeah, i'm gonna go to upd and find something to do. lol. and so without giving my sister the choice to say no, i woke up early, dressed up and insisted that i'm coming with her to school. so yah, she agreed. while we were on our way, i BI-ed her and she decided she'll skip her classes to accompany me.

so we got to cal at around 11am, looked for the office for graduate studies and viola! found it beside the dept of sociology at the 3rd flr of faculty center. (whoa with the details) when i came in to the office, the receptionist?staff?assistant?or the dean? was so friendly and accommodating...initially. i told her that im wishing to apply for an ma program this second semester. HOWEVER...my enthusiasm went off when she said, "ay, for first sem ka na." i was like, you mean first sem, 2012???????wtf. and then she asked a follow up question, "anong program ba?" told her im planning to take up speech com and begged to accept my application and yezzzuh! she gave the stuff i have to fill out and everything and told me to submit all of them within the day. ARE YOU FUCK*N KIDDING ME? (that's because the deadline for submission was last AUGUST 12!!!! hahaha) well of course i bargained, gave myself an ultimatum to submit all of them the morning next day. i rushed to my previous office and thank god i have really kind ex-bosses who filled out my recommendation forms, which i would then collect the next day. i slept yesterday with a bothered mind--in other words, i was half asleep last night. lol

this morning, i went to collect my recommendation forms and headed to diliman to submit all of the requirements. got there at around 11am. i handed over the requirements to the receptionist?staff?assistant?or the dean? and after she reviewed everything, she told me to come back on oct 10 to get my admission slip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my, i was sooooo happy, well i still am. LOL. im excited and thrilled to be a student again. :) everything was just right and i feel that this is where i should be.

just a background, i left my job 6 months ago cos i felt it wasn't for me. looking back, i can say i was so immature for taking my job for granted coz HELLOOOOOO it's not easy to get a job. I repeat, IT'S NOT EASY TO GET A JOB (depending on the context. lol) I took a vacation for 2 months and been looking for a job since may. until today, i haven't gotten any call regarding any job offer. all throughout the process i felt dumb and stupid for not landing on a job. it was degrading that i felt worthless. imagine, im dating with my boyfriend and everything's on him since i left my job. well, it was a tough stuff to go through but im happy that i have the support of my parents even if my mom keeps on reminding me to give my career a good direction (you know, the phrase was not that endearing when it comes from your mother's mouth hahaha). So yah, it's hard yet im still happy because i get to spend that time i wanted with my family. way back when i was still working i felt i always needed to catch up with them that even if we're all under the same roof, I missed them everyday.

now, i'm really thankful that God brought me to this direction. I know we took schooling for granted (if you dont agree with me, you're a geek!) but now, i'm gonna look at it as a better opportunity for my growth as an individual. this is not gonna be easy but i will give my all to finish this and graduate WITH HONORS. <3 to tin, ems, ma'am bong, and ma'am nona and my sister jam, THANK YOUUUUU. this will not happen without your help.

A Beauty Blog :)

I am so back to blogging cos I am a bum again. However, this ain't another rant blog. Today, I'm gonna write something about my latest love--Etude House Products. :D

I was never a fan of cosmetics and beauty products cos I am quite lazy. Imagine allotting so much time for skin care and all. Way back when I was working in a bank, I was able to manage going to work without putting make up on my face. Also, I was not a fan of regularly washing, toning, and moisturizing your face day and night (yeah, sounds a bit unhygienic haha!). I just hate doing all those stuff cos I didn't care about my skin and I didn't care about the way I look either. Now that I'm not working anymore yet I still have all the money in the world (haha, brag), I decided to invest it on beauty products--Etude House specifically cos I like their shop--pink and girly, plus it's being endorsed by famous Korean stars.

So here's a photo of my collection so far (I'm still planning to try on other products especially the AC Clinic line):

(From Left to Right: Aloha 48-color eyeshadow palette, Precious Mineral BB Cream, O2 White cleansing foam, BB Magic Cream, Dr. Oil Solution shine-free finish pact, Dr. Oil Solution dual primer, Dr. Oil Solution shine-free mist, Henna Fix mascara, Mini Size U trial kit, Black Head gommage, Proof 10 aqua tint, Dear Darling Tint, etc. haha)

Most of these items were purchased around end of May and I am quite satisfied with the results. My skin is somehow blemish-free compared to what it looked like before (sorry cos most of my photos are edited so you cannot see how ugly my skin was :|). I'm actually feeling good every time I look at myself in the mirror cos my skin feels fine and soft (try touching my face :D) and it's not that oily anymore. All thanks to Mini Size U and Dr. Oil Solution :). I bought the Black Head gommage recently and on my first try, I can already feel the changes on my 'black headful' nose cos it now feels soft. I'll be writing again about this product once I can fully see the result of my black head treatment. :D Their BB Creams are good too! As you can see, I didn't purchase liquid foundation and concealer cos the cream is enough to make your face look foundation-ready (although I'm planning also to purchase a concealer as part of my collection. I just don't know the product name haha but already tried it when I visited their branch).

I can say that all of these stuff are worth it cos they're much cheaper compared to other Korean Cosmetic Stores and these products really take care of your skin. :D

Can't actually wait for my next Etude House invasion! By the way, the SA's in their SM Sta. Rosa branch are very accommodating. They're more customer-friendly than the SA's in SM Megamall.

SANA

sana feb 14 na.

ang suicidal blog ng isang tamad

bago ko gawin ang inuwi kong trabaho, nag- pasya ako (habang nasa van pa lang pauwi dito) na magba-blog ako. una, dahil hindi ako masaya sa tinatahak kong landas ngayon at ikalawa, namimiss ko yung dati -- doon sa bundok, kung saan malaya ang ibon na nagngangalang ako.

bakit nga ba mas masaya noon kesa ngayon?

1. hindi ko kailangang paghirapan ang perang ginagastos ko noon. weekly, may 2,000 pesos ako na pwedeng gastusin para sa apat na araw na pagpasok sa eskwela. ngayon, 1,500 ang budget ko para sa limang araw na pasok sa opisina. 300 per day-200 pamasahe, 100 tanghalian. eh pano kung gusto kong mag-almusal at meryenda?

2. 3 subjects per day, 1 1/2 hours each. may break pa in between. pili ka ng gusto mong gawin: matulog, kumain, mag-internet, makipag-kulitan sa housemates. Ngayon, 8 hours kaharap mo ang computer at wala kang kalaban labang binabagsakan ng mga trabaho. Yung 8 hours, pwede pang mag-exceed. No choice, you're being paid.

3. ang prof, 1 1/2 hours mong kasama. ang boss, maghapon (maliban kung may meeting siya. hehehe)

4. sawa-sawa ako sa tulog noon. syempre, pwedeng piliin ang sked. bat ba ako pipili ng 7am calss kung may mas late naman sa kanya. may oras pa ko para mag-walwal sa gabi >:) ngayon, after office hours, sabaw na ang utak mo, masakit na ang likod at batok mo, hindi mo na maiisip mag-walwal, itutulog na lang at maaga pang papasok bukas.

5. ano ba naman kung malunod ka sa dami ng reaction papers, reflection papers, exams, kesa gumawa ka ng business report, proposal, inventory, mag-call out sa branches sa buong pilipinas, magtawag ng kliyente at problemahin ang problema ng mundo. I swear, ibalik niyo ako sa academic world at kahit ilang papers pa yan, gagawin ko.

6. noon, may panahon ka para sa mga kaibigan mo. ngayon, alangan ka nang mag-sleep over dahil sleep deprived ka. kanya-kanya na kayong buhay ngayon, kailangan magkasundo kung kailan pwede magkita. kumpara noon, halos maging magkakamukha na kayo sa dalas ng pagsasama niyo.

Ang masakit lang, nakaraan na yan, tapos na at di na pwedeng ibalik.

Ilan lang yan sa mga naisip kong isulat bago ko i-set ang utak at katawan ko na gawin ang trabaho ngayong gabi.
