Being different

Yesterday was the start of my second on-the-job training ('cause my course requires two trainings: in house and out) for school. Apart from all the airline companies I applied to, fortunately there was one who took me and my friends in. It's no other than Thai Airways International, which is situated in Makati. Though my friends and I wanted to have our practicum in NAIA (for some reason.. HEHE), I think being accepted in Thai Airways also has its up sides.

More on that soon... moving on.


Later that night, Faith, Aldwin, Ralph and I went to The Collective at Malugay St. Makati, to try Ralph's favorite restaurant- Wabi-Sabi. I don't know how on earth did Ralph suddenly suggested to pursue the place (Ralph, you must admit to me, right now! LOL), but anyway, it was something new for us, so it's alright.








Forgive me, for I have some short memory span. I forgot all the names of our orders, but those two foods in the bowl are ramen and the sandwich has some vege-meat in it. My ramen was so-so, certainly ain't a fan of noodles without 'that' amount of taste, while the vege-meat sandwich was so good (I ate my portion at home, 'cause I was so full. HEHE). Anyway, if you guys are Japanese fanatics like yours truly, I would recommend this place. The ambiance is so nice, plus the people working there are so responsive. I would love love love to go back again.

Going to The Collective, as I have researched from the web, is like going to Cubao Expo (my post about that here), so I was kind-of expecting to see vintage, extra-ordinary finds. But as we loitered around the place, I realized the place's variance. I saw a shop displaying paintings, a shop with a tree that sells a lot of unique bags (I swear, I'll go back to it, if I had the money), organic finds, a vintage store and a lot more (that pertains to the close shops HEHE).

So if you guys need some place to chill that certainly screams unique, indie and extraordinary, you know the place to go.

Look what Violin got me thinking.

Hi earthlings! I realized I have been blogging so much this past few days and it makes me happy because that means I always have something to going on. ;) But this time around, let me tell you that I have no particular event to share to you. I just thought that may be when I face the blogger-new-post-screen I would be able to produce sensible thoughts to write about. So here I go. Hmm.. This morning, I managed to finish the book that took me ages to finish. FINALLY. You'll probably wondering what took me so long and what this book is. So here it is. Violin by Anne Rice, that I managed to borrow from my friend, Patt (Hi Patt, if you're reading this, I'll be able to give this back to you, finally!). I borrowed it from Patt several months ago (I know, that long!) because I got curious. Let's just say, it's also a literature experiment for me. But seeing my progress in reading this book.. I ain't happy with it. Thus made me conclude literary genres li

what's in my bag... for real

Image
what's in my bag (taken with instagram) left to right:  Umbrella (Grosser Schatten)- You could call me umbrella girl scout, because I always have this handy with me; rain or shine, I have this under my skin. Always keep in mind that quality is better than quantity. If I were you, buy the most expensive umbrella (at least 500), for the quality will stick with you until the end. I have this umbrella for 2 years already. Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen)- I remember my enthusiasm once I bought this book because the price of the book was less than 100. Oh the perks of a classic! But the downside to it, was the sardines font and the old English text that made my mind relaps after reading for some quite time. I don't remember the time when I started reading the book, but I had to say that it's taking me a long while because of all the old English texts. Nonetheless, I love reading hard to decipher books rather than teeny weeny easy ones. Alcohol (Hygenix)- You'l

Make-up Stash

I don't know what got me today but I suddenly had an urge to fix my make-up stash (not that it's many). I will surely say that I maintain just the right amount of make-up that I know I could use until the end. I would not definitely buy new ones if I know there's a lot more in my stash, not unless I got it in a cheaper price = SALE or it's already expired. ;) Anyway, since we're at it, I tried coloring my face again with eye shadows that I don't normally use during the day. I usually do this during the times that I'm bored. lol Honestly, I don't even know how to put eye shadow in its right way. I just treat it as an eyeliner, thus the color I placed in my eye, is just near my eye lashes. If only someone could teach me. ;) And of course, with that experimenting or whatever, I would never fail to be vain. Eye bags, please disappear. lalalala ;)
