Gloomy
Did not make it to work today. Ewan ko why pero paggising ko I don't feel so good talaga. Got bored designing gowns the entire day so I've decided to go out and refresh myself with kaputahan at kapokpokan, a.k.a. INTERNET.
I was planning to visit malls kanina to check out bridal set-ups, gowns, basically anything that connects to weddings. That's the store's theme kasi for July.
Anyways speaking of weddings, what if ikasal kami ni crush? Hmm....haha!
And speaking of 'crushes', damn those who spilled the beans! Kasi naman sabi ko sa inyo ilakad niyo ko, eh you deliberately jumped to the next level eh. Buking talaga kung buking hindi man lang dinahan-dahan. Grr! Inis ako! Sabi ko, LAKAD! Eh hinagis niyo ko from the top of our building to the next eh. Ganun niyo pinabilis ang mga pangyayari.
Grr!
The Wedding Gown Challenge
Thiz iz it. Uzer and I were tasked to design wedding gowns that are supremely sexy, as in luscious, seductive sexy level na loka-lokahan talaga for the window. Problem is, I've never designed a wedding gown ever pa.
Any type of gown pala for that matter kasi I prefer dressing men up rather than the next specie. It's easier naman kasi right if you're of the same preference.
Go for the gold Tim Tam. As of today I have designed five items na. Hopefully they are eligible for the 'wedding gown' title. I am somewhat freaked out kasi to me, they look like dresses for cocktails, the Red Carpet event, etc., etc.
Sana ma-sales talk ko sa fabric that will be used. Superb ang effort ko, I've glued actual glass beads on the part where they'll be attached to. Sana may mapili. It would be my second 'greatest' achievement as a fashionista slash stylist slash designer.
So there. Watch out, watch out Ayala!
Although I'm not putting my hopes too high kasi I'm competing with one of the greatest designers of our generation.
BBR.

Pouring Tim & Beda
Damn it really came down this time. It makes me feel more alone and alone everytime it's raining. Ewan ko ba ba't ang hopeless romantic ko, mabait naman ako diba?
Anyways, last Friday, I was alone sa store. Where were the 'barako boys?'....to hell I hope.
So Cenz to the rescue. Wala kong magawa sa store kasi di ako pwedeng gumawa ng major movement mag-isa kasi di naman ako pwede magbuhat ng mga shelves and stuffs alone. Kaya ayun, merchandising to death. Umabot pa nga ko hanggang Men's section eh. Haha it's really funny. Anyways, thanks Cenz for backing me up!
Binulabog ko lang ang store last Friday my golly. Hope this doesn't ever happen again. EVER! Or else, baka umabot ang store sa ganito:
Oh, and p.s. Why is it entitled pouring Tim & Beda? Kasi we use to always fight badly. Now, we're nowhere. FYI so just you know.

Coffee-life Crisis
Damn Starbucks and Coffee X's really broke me this week.
Twice have I visited Starbucks before going to work, thrice have I stayed in Coffee X to unwind and magpapampam after office hours.
Problem is that last Friday, I've checked my ATM, and surprisingly, I have an amount that could feed me for two days alone. So bale not until next payday, there will be no coffee, no pastries, no whatever from the two companies.
Damn, can't wait 'til then. I'll miss the Light Fraps.
Fashion
My true calling.
The thing is, parang walang nakakapansin. I am learning naman sa department ko sa office pero iba talaga yung 'hilig' eh. For a week naging in charge kami sa buong stores and honestly, while working sa fashion floors styling mannequins, its inevitable, the passion, the love, the everything is there 100 percent.
Damn I love it. No offense sa mga ka-department ko. Pero I really love fashion lang talaga.
I have plans kasi of studying 'fashion design' next year for formality, tapos ipon to set-up my own line.
Fingers-crossed.

Big Spender
It's official. I am earning an amount that could feed my soleness, pero still I am obligated to give some to my family, then sobrang kapiranggot for shopping. Damn I can't control myself.
Like last week, I've urged Odyssey to produce a copyof Basement Jaxx's first two albums, got it yesterday for only P500. Super thanks to the staff of Odyssey SM North for the ASAP action on my request. Ms. Yvette, TY talaga!
Then went to the department store, bought a polo, belt, and everything else.
And so now, mukhang close na ko sa pagiging gipit after I undergo hair relaxing tomorrow. Damn that tax. Damn.
For the second time around: 'I need a financial adviser!'

Buking na kung buking, pero damn this is so true. Except the part where it says na I am not fit for a monogamous relationship. The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to good manners and elegance. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.
P.S. I am trying. Changing in ways, kasi I've had it. Karma's killing me. So there. Love me or hate me.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.
You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
Managers, Part II
All i can do is watch...
Damn.
Last week we had a set-up for "U" Fashion Show. I expected Japan to be there. And my hunch is right. (Hehe..what's up with the highlight? Basta....it's a clue.) Nights before the show, I was thinking on making that person remember me, or at least notice me at the very least. That's a start naman diba?
So I went to the set-up, naka-tuck in, pero preppy and yuppie aura pa din, not caring kung umakyat man ako ng ladder, or whatever, I'll tell them na lang na this is me handling stress. With grace. :) (Thanks Mama for that power line! I will never forget you!)
And then there's Japan. FYI, tumingin siya sa kin, thrice or four. Haha! First, tambay sa counter behind the venue after lunchbreak. Second, sa loob ng venue. Third, while resting sa Jill. Fourth, hmm...can't remember really. Pero I'm quite sure na apat ang lucky number.
Patay siya sa kin sa next events namin this week. Patay din ako sa pagod. Pero the hell with my pagod. I will do thiz. Need my sweldo for new outfits.
and a hell lot of time to buy them! Yun ang problema! Damn!
Starck Raving Mad
One thing I really hate in life is people underestimating me. The type of personas who looks at you as if you're a low-being, making themselves a goddess.
I hate this girl manager @ one area of my department. Clue?
She'll never get my sympathy, kindness, concern, and most especially, L-O-V-E forever, and ever, and ever. Damn she super made me feel like a tonto.
Damn.
Whatever happened to those times na people looked up to me kasi I excel naman in some aspects? Whatever happened to the kid who garners a lot of awards since nursery? Whatever happened to the kid who use to have it all, especially RESPECT?
He has figured it out.
L-O-S-T.
Adding insult to my already injured aura, this manager super lowered my self-esteem. And for that, I will hate you forever.
'Til kingdom come.
I swear.

Flapchina
I miss those days na I'd blog something about love. When oh when.
Stucked in a moment, aka 'work.' I miss those days na papampam lang ako sa coffee shops. Pretending to be somebody else. Limot ang buong mundo.
Damn. i need a Sabbatical.
Pero congratulations to me. Eventhough 'kargador' slash everything else ako sa work, naka one month na ko last June 3. Woo-hoo! hope I make it as a supervisor up to becoming a panginoon. Need to train some more.
I am sobrang unbecoming a beauty queen. Sobrang not making it.
Damn.
