Okay, so I decided to post my outfit for my rant to not come along as selfish. Is is just me or assuming my post for the promotion is taking decades? Yes, I'm not complaining or anything, or maybe I am. I mean a month after they announce to the whole world or office that you're getting promoted but you're still doing you're same old job, people start asking you questions. They start with, "Whatever happened to your promotion?", "Why are you still here?", "Diba VA ka na?". And I'm like, "I don't really know, I'm still waiting for the management's notification". I guess what I'm really trying to say is, if there is something unsettled within their level that regards my promotion, they should have settled it before alarming the whole world that I got promoted even before celebrating a year with their company. So I stop there.

And because I don't wan't to spend my hard-earned moolah to shop and binge on unhealthy food, I decided to dress up. Well not really dress up, but at least gather some energy to take an ugly photo of myself and couple it with my rant. So, photos!

Taking self-portraits is difficult even with a tripod. Remote, please!

Outfit details, the loose, gray sleeveless top is from American Blvd, the workout leggings from Yvonne's and the Owl accessory from Divisoria. Parang gigimik lang, no? When you don't have the zest to go to work because you're tried of people asking you the same irritating question everyday, this is what you wear so you can do a ninja move by just speeding your way out of the conversation.

My ring, which according to my officemate looks something from Saudi. Yeah, you know the cliche. Haha

I got them cheap from Parisian.

Hello again, folks! I've been pretty busy for the past few weeks as to the explanation why I haven't updated my blog for quite sometime. Also, my new laptop Batman broke down. I transferred all my files from my old laptop to this new one that I bought some 3 months ago thinking it would last. I haven't even thought of doing a back up on my files, because, I dunno. Who would ever imagine that after 3 months of use it will break down? I certainly didn't.

Not wanting to delve more into details, let's talk about my promotion. So, not wanting to make people who helped me reach this position feel indispensable, I had to give each of them a small treat. That is even if I haven't had a taste of the sweet monetary value of the promotion, I just had to, starting with the boyfriend. After I found out about the news, I had to wear something light and fun so as to embody how I felt that day. Photos!

I had to crop my face on some of the shots because my hair is all over the place!

So, here goes! I decided to wear something pink so it'll be easy on the eyes. The top I got from American Blvd, the skirt was thrifted from Divisoria and the shoes which is not that visible in this slide, I got from Marks and Spencer. The photos from the series of mini treats for the people I love and adore will be on a separate blog, all together.

Hell yeah, my hips don't lie. Darn.

Flats from Marks and Spencer

And that's about it. I haven't assumed the post yet, I will hopefully run the role come mid-December. A higher salary means more responsibilities, I'm keeping my hopes and my attitude up. Have a happy Sunday!

Not for the movie but for the time when I can have a companion and watch this pretty darn movie! The unusual after-his-work-and-before-mine dates are getting quite old, I need a hold of time! This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Moving on from the work rant, because I can't help but feast on chicken and pork during lunch and dinner, I've decided to just cut off a bit on my breakfast and start the day with cookies (the healthy ones, of course)!

Thank God for Oatmeal cookies from Quaker oats! I specifically love the Apple and cinnamon flavor!

I munched on a whole pack yesterday for I was having paycheck woes, for the nth time, we have a payroll dispute! It's been 5 months since the HR transition, when are you going to get it right? Gah. Can't rant too much about this matter though or I might end up in court defending myself.

How scattered are my thoughts right now? Hormonal maybe, I'm about to have my period. But thank you for Oatmeal cookies and Easy A for making this day a bit lighter. Happy Sunday!

Hello, non-productivity! I've been on sick leave for the past 2 days and I don't have a valid medical certificate I can present to my boss on Monday. How Can I have one when I couldn't even stand up because I was experiencing heavy poopoo-ing(LBM) and vomiting. And, no people, I'm not pregnant. I just had amoebiasis take me down again. And I was diagnosed by a non-intellicare accredited doctor so even If I do get a med cert from him, that wouldn't be valid at all. In the midst of all this, how can I even look for one that's accredited when I'm almost spitting my guts out? Darn health care.

Tonight will be the start of our nesting period. I don't know if it's just me or I need more of training. I have listened well to the trainer's discussion's and have done averagely well with the assessments as well. I do hope I get to practice what I've been trying to learn for the past few weeks. C'mon gimme the lucky beans, puhlease.

For the lack of an internet connection at my abode in Manila, I cannot update my blog that often. I know I have to remind myself to buy that USB thing for checking and updating things, cause I practically live online. Anyhoo, this post as expected is a late one. Nevertheless, it still has its essence. Or so I think. Hrhrhr.

Ooops! I did it again

I had my first call today. It was exhausting. Why? Because my heart was beating non-stop all the time, my palms were sweaty and my feet uneasy. I practically knew that I'll be getting an easy call because God has been good to me the past few days. The thing is, I didn't suck with the call, I didn't do that great either. Just like the VA assessment, I know I could've done better, but my stupidity got ahead of me.

I know what we're doing is an easy job yet I failed to "bring it" a while ago. I feel a bit frustrated, I could've talked slower or pronounced the words bolder for the customer. The customer was even trying to build rapport with me, why wasn't I responsive? Because I was friggin' nervous. I suck, I know. I'll do better next time, I just want to say that it's not true when they say that the first call is always bad, cause it isn't. It's just not great. *grin*

Reminiscing the Past

Tomorrow is going to be UPB's infamous Pasiklaban. From the moment I fell in love with Baguio, this is going to be the first time that I wont be able to attend the event. I could've just went up there and had some fun, but I can't. I have to be responsible now because I'm an adult already, and adults don't file leaves or make an absence for the sake of a school tradition. Its heartbreaking for me, not to go there and not be able to reminisce good times with my friends, but I have to move on.

Moving on is always hard, not only at first but forever. There will always be a part of you that will wish that somehow, you can bring back the old time. I'm a very sentimental person and I'm emotional like that.

It really is heartbreaking, did I even say that a while ago? My future is at stake here and I know I can always go back to my Alma Mater even if it is not Pasiklaban or Tagis Lakas or what have you. I can always go back and reminisce the good times, sit at the lobby and have fun with my friends. Eat mangga with bagoong and suka while criticizing girls with bad fashion sense. Joining my friends over at sunshine park while talking about grueling school work. Oh God, I miss college yet again. :,) I wonder when's the reunion?
