May your day be filled with color and beautiful things
I have had these for a while, months now, and it only took me five attempts and an hour to make them finally stick to my wall. They are beautiful, handmade things that I cannot take credit for, as my arts and crafts skills are limited to coloring books and cutting up magazines for high school student made-looking collages. Next step, washing the wall to get rid of the layer of grime I only noticed when I tried sticking them on, and maybe if I have the time, repainting. What color would be good for these to pop? What beautiful things have you seen today?

A great 28th.
As I said last year on this post: “I would like to spend the rest of my life, with my birthdays in front of a beach.” This year, I continued the tradition I sort of accidentally set myself when I spent the birthday with my toes in the sand. I was here last weekend: It was new (for me). I had never stayed there before, and I left the planning and coordination to the person I was with. It was a chill weekend, with card games, drinking, relaxing, and a scorching hot walk to the shore. It wasn’t perfect of course, but for me it was close. Just spending a couple…

Inspire yourself with these women today
What inspires you? People inspire me. I see other people living their lives and I think to myself, I want to be that way. In my work I have three women I want to grow up like; that I’ve come across very luckily in my career. And I will introduce you to them in the order that I’ve met them, as they all garner equally in my aspirations: The first is Rhiza Oyos. She was my first boss-boss. We worked together in the company I first worked for, US Autoparts, with her leading the leadership team I was in. She was successful. She chose to live on her own (a…

A night away from myself
Whether it was sheer boredom, or eerie curiousity that prompted me to go with Anna to her makeup class, it was definitely the girliest night I’ve spent in a LONG time. See, she takes classes at the Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty at Podium. I’ve never been to a place quite like this. All I know of makeup is from watching my mom apply the stuff on herself, and that’s knowledge that can fill a thimble at best. It’s quite an impressive sight. You just feel going in like it’s THE place to improve yourself. And even if my improvement came at the able hands of Ms. Angeles, I…

Tony’s gone. Rrramon’s the one.
So Tony’s been at Mayer’s for a week and i called and asked when I could get him. They told me Monday after lunch, and I thought, perfect. Rest day. No plans. I can drag Mom and Joannaman along. We always like going around Binondo checking out the jewelry and they’ve missed Dong Bei so I knew it was easy asking them to go with me. So we went around Binondo, at Joannaman’s insistence. I’m not much of a jewelry person myself, I only wear what people give me. Dong bei was delish. I stuffed myself with dumplings, I think i ate 3/4 of the order. I was hungry so sue…

So what’s new?
I’m turning over a new leaf. I have a new job. From a yearlong stint as an Internet Marketing Specialist I find myself facing a whole different terrain. I am now a User Experience Specialist (in training). This is definitely something that’s making me way excited but also ants in my pants nervous at the same time. I still work in the same office, but in a different team, a different workstation. New lifestyle too. Or at least trying to. In tune with my doctor’s orders, I’m going to start working out. I was told to get back to my usual weight just so she can rule out a few…
