So to those people who are asking if I would still use this blog, my blog…Yes, my dear readers. I would keep this blog as long as I live. Though I wasn’t here for the last few days due to my conceitedness and busy-ness………or the mix of both!
School has already started and the fact that I was on dean’s list last semester, made my life harder than it should be. You see, the expectations are so high that I’m afraid I couldn’t reach them. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, yenow? I don’t want to disappoint myself. :( And being stupid like I am, I changed my major to nursing. I don’t know if I made the right decision. I’m actually having second thoughts now. But I’ve gone this far….I wouldn’t want to stop here. Afterall, hardship is and will always be a part of my journey. But then again, I wouldn’t tell you what happened on my first week in school. I would prolly post a separate entry for that.
Work’s pretty amazing. I’ve been learning a lot since I started working at VS. And no, it’s not just a work experience….it’s more of a life experience for me. I love my job and my job loves me back. Each time I would step inside our VS shop, I feel like I’m a more accomplished person than I used to. Though the feeling of having to stand up for the whole 10 hours of my shift is terrible, I would never complain. Because the feeling of making a good sale for the day is much, much better. It usually erases the hostility that I feel towards my job. And the feeling I’d get when I see the smile on my customers’ face is even more rewarding because I know I served them well. I’ve exceeded their expectations. Somehow I made them happy. I made them feel special. Yes, I don’t earn that much but I gained a lot more than money. My job has changed my life forever.
My social life is the best! I hang out with awesome people. Ofcourse I’m gonna elaborate this on my future posts. But for now, here are the pictures taken from Marie Cris’ first birthday:
Conceitedness!!!
the guy wearing black in the picture with me is Deacon Peter! He’s really awesome….one of the coolest guy in our church.
you see, my life is pretty ridiculous. I am trying my best to live my life to the fullest each and every day.. I know this is such a short post. But i’ll post some more real soon. My school load are just too heavy! I have to write a speech [for my speech class], review a geography test [for political science. duh?], and write a paper for English class. All is due next week!!! Though we have two days break next week because of the labor day and the faculty meeting in our campus, my boss gave me a lot of hours of work! So I don’t really have a vacation next week.
August 18, 2008
I know you guys missed me! I know you do so please don’t ever think/feel like I’ve abandoned my site already. Coz that’s just not possible.
So what ridiculous stuff am I doing while I’m gone? DUH. I was busy making the most out of my stay-cation [summer]. For the past two weeks of not being in the worldwide web, I’ve been busy doing all the things I can’t do once my school has already started. My class will officially start tomorrow which means I have to pretend to be an articulate all over again. And that is very tiring, yenow? very very tiring. So here I am, enjoying a little bit of freedom for the last time. Plus, I’ve met a bunch of new friends last week in a filipino gathering in our church. They are all awesome! I’m so happy to finally met a barkada right here in Georgia.

My new shopping buddy
Since my bestfriend Macey have already moved to Athens, GA [about an hour away from Jonesboro]…..I was desperately searching for a new shopping buddy. One that is as kikay as I am. And look how God answered my prayers! He gave me my new kikay friend, Monah.
One afternoon full of conceitedness with Monah. We went to shop at Southlake Mall and ofcourse, our first stop is the Victoria’s Secret! This is where I work and the lady in black there is my manager, Ate Montesa.
It was really fun meeting new friends. They are bunch of cool filipino kids who grew up in the philippines just like me. So we basically use tagalog words when we interact. And I missed having ALL filipino circle of friends because I only have a few of them here. I love them all! We usually chat on yahoo messenger every night and ofcourse, we text/call each other every now and then. That’s why my celphone bill was sky high! I don’t have unlimited text plan. 
My class will start exactly 16 hours from now and I’m not excited. I’m nervous.
Workaholic? Moi?
Last Saturday, I arrived home past midnight. Why? Because I have to work, honey. I don’t really have any work schedule that day but one of my manager, Angela, asked me a favor. I think one Associate backed out or something so they are short of Associate that day. And mind you, they called me 4:30pm….asked me if I can come at 5:00pm! I took a bath for like 5minutes! the shortest shower I have ever taken and I’m sooo proud of myself. Then I stayed until 12:00am because I have to help out Ate Montesa and Victoria on fixing/re-arranging the panties! I was stationed in Beauty Section of Victoria’s Secret and I finished all replenishment on my zone by 9:30pm. But we have this rule of three. There should be three employee on closing time. So I can’t go home earlier. It was okay though. I’m just irritated on my other co-worker because she moves too slow. Anyhoozle, everyone in VS called me now as the new “Beauty Queen”. They said I’m so effective on selling our VS beauty products! That even people who has no intention whatsoever on buying our beauty products, I can somewhat force them! FORCE that is.

I’m living a very fulfilling life right now. I have a decent job, one that I can be proud of. I have a lot of friends. I have my strong support system. And I have someone in my life that is making it the best it has ever been. i spend every chance I get with this person. This person means so much to me already, it actually scares me. He brightens my day and even the night time. This person knows just what to do and what to say to make me smile and laugh. It’s so great to finally have someone like that. Someone who is intelligent as well as dumb. How weird was that? He is soo smart! but sometimes he just acts so dumb and I just sit there and find my self smiling and staring. He can take my breath away in just a split second.
Okay maybe I’ve had enough. This post is way too long already! =P
Off to bloghopping! =D
