Say "No" to Stress!

This is a super delayed post. hehe.

A therapy indeed! I never thought that I'll be feeling this great despite the stress from work. Well, stress doesn't actually pertain to the nature of my job, but more of my work environment. Let's just say that it really pisses me to be surrounded by people worth hatin'.

My bestfriend and I have the same sentiments when it comes to work, or should i say, our office? haha! So we met up at Glorietta, uncertain of what to do.

1st stop: Burger King - I got the new Cool Angry Whopper Jr. meal. Haha well it matched my mood. Cool 'coz it's new, angry 'coz it's kinda hot & spicy.

2nd stop: Estee Lauder in Rustans - We visited my Aunt at her stall inside Rustans. I think we brought her good luck 'coz she got a customer after we arrived. haha! Well, the best part was playing with their makeup testers! We even got unlimited spray of Estee Lauder perfume haha!
3rd stop: Zara - It's hard to search for a nice outfit and I dunno why. I always wanted to get my own Zara...my own means using my money earned from work. haha! Well I found a nice top but I controlled myself from buying it 'coz I felt that better items are available in other Zara branches. haha! Therefore, I'll go and check Rockwell. haha!=))

Dolls for SALE!!!

I need to sell these Disney stuffed toys to make space for the new ones coming this December.


My family used to buy a lot of dolls from Disneyland & Disney Sea in Japan, and they only ended up piling up at our display cabinets. And now, we felt the need to take them out of those cabinets because we have a lot more to come this December.

If you will notice, most of them are Winnie the Pooh dolls. I don't know why but we really find it cute. Actually when we were younger, we used to collect Hello Kitty stuff, but we got bored and shifted into collecting Winnie the Pooh items. haha!=))

You can purchase these items at my newly-opened online store:

Trust me, these dolls make good early Christmas gifts since they're cheap & cute.=D

Career Confusion

Now that I'm starting to love my job as a Marketing Officer in a construction supplies/solutions company, more opportunities of getting a higher-paying job are coming my way.

Before applying for the job where I am at right now, I submitted an application to JALways and I got shortlisted. Anytime in October, the employers from Japan will come and probably check on the application of the shortlisted candidates. Yikes, of course I wanna make it there because it would earn me a lot of money. However, it's gonna be hard to leave my current job.

I thought that was my only problem. But now, Emirates will finally be conducting screening in Manila this October. I really waited for this to come since EK has frozen its hiring for a couple of months. I really wanna apply but I'm kinda hesitant because I know how much my boss in my current job depends on me. He'll be very disappointed if I decide to leave the company.

Actually, being a flight attendant is not really my ultimate dream. It's just something I wanna do for the shortest time possible just to earn enough savings that I would use to prepare for a better future. Honestly, I don't wanna be bossed around and I'm not a very patient person that's why I'm not really that good at customer service. However, this is the kind of job that I think would earn me a lot of money for the shortest time possible, therefore after saving enough, I could immediately quit that job and pursue the career that i really love.

Well, I wanna be a boss. I wanna have my own business. I also wanna make a company grow. I wanna feel important and appreciated in an institution. I wanna be a well-known person in my field. And I want my actions to be significant in the success of a company. These are all the reasons why I wanna stay in my current job. This is where all the opportunities for a successful career are. But I am not sure if it would still be there for me when I leave now and work as an FA and come back after a year or two. Right now, I am fulfilled career-wise but not financially. But as always, I am now down to choosing between pride and money.

I am torn. I don't know what to pray for. For me to be accepted in JAL/Emirates or not? Right now I can't think of anything to pray for but guidance & peace of mind. I hope everything will fall into place. I know God has his plans for me and I'll just live by those plans.

payday shopping experience

It's my tradition to shop every payday. And now that I've got my 1st salary with my new job, I never let go of the chance to shop for new stuff. In fact, every single item I bought was planned and had some stories behind them.

Whenever I shop on a limited budget, I always see to it that I get to buy the best stuff at the best prices. The brand is not actually not an issue. It's my goal to maximize every single peso.

The first thing I bought were undies. And the reason why I bought these was because of my lola's "pamahiin". She instructed me to buy a pair of undies on my 1st salary because it would make me hardworking and be more patient with my job. Well just to please her, I bought these. It was my first time to buy undies here 'coz it's my aunts in Japan & the US who always send me my undies. I just chose Bench because it's the cheapest haha!=)) Got them for P430.Then there was this 50% off SALE on bags at SM Department Store, so my bestfriend and I bought one black bag each. I planned to buy a black bag because most of my bags were white. Well there were lots of nice black bags but we settled for the cheapest. haha! Got these bags from Secosana at P390.
Then I searched for high-heeled shoes. I always wanted to buy a pair of shoes at Syrup, People are People but that was during the time I wasn't employed yet so I can't spend that much. But now that I've got money, I went to the shop and was pleased to find it there, still available after 2-3 months since I last saw it at another branch! haha! Unfortunately, the EPS didn't work so I had use my credit card instead of my debit card. I was so happy after buying it! I finally got it after a few months of waiting haha.=)) P1,500 for this pair.
Then as always, every first salary with every job, I always treat my bestfriend for dinner. So after shopping, we went to Pizza Hut Bistro. I spent about P500. Sorry but I was too hungry to take photos of our food. haha!
The next day, we went back to Glorietta to search for flats but I ended up buying at Landmark where there was a SALE on shoes. I got a pair of flats for P380 and slippers for P260.
We also dropped by the bazaar outside Glorietta where I was able to buy a semi-formal dress for only P250! Good thing I was able to control myself in buying a party dress worth P700 at the bazaar. But I swear, it was really nice. I just didn't know where and when to wear it that's why I didn't buy it.
And my payday shopping total was less than P4,000 (including food & transpo). hahaha!=))

I promise to save my next salary.=P

It's Star Magic's 17th Anniversary, and it just held its 3rd Annual Ball last Aug. 29. Well, it's branded as the grandest gathering of the biggest celebrities this year.

So let's see who among the Kapamilya Stars shined that night:

Couples of the Night Award

Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion
Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson

Most Stylish Star of the Night – John Lloyd Cruz

Most Elegant Award – Bea Alonzo

Most Glamorous – Anne Curtis

Classic Chic Pair – Billy Crawford and Nikki Gil

Classic Chic Couple – Zanjoe Marudo and Mariel Rodriguez

Best Dressed Couple – Maja Salvador and Rayver Cruz

Fashion Forward Award – Yeng Constantino

sorry for my late reaction...

Well maybe because I'm just used to it. For the Nth time, Embassy Bar was closed due to another bloody incident.

The Embassy Bar has always been the most controversial bar in the metro. It is where everyone goes wild, even the hottest celebrities. Besides, having one of the best party scenes in the metro, Embassy bar has also become popular due to a lot of scandals that happened in the bar--beating a guest to death, selling/using of drugs, and now, a stabbing incident.

According to the Taguig police, the bouncers of Embassy Bar helped the suspect to escape. But this was denied by the management of Embassy bar with the statement they released.

Embassy Bar is closed while investigations are going on. It's still unsure when will it operate again.

But don't be lonely party people, there are still a lot of clubs within the metro. Let's just hit Manor, LAX, Empire, and Fiamma for now. hehe.=P
