My books all went to the yard, and they're like ...

I keep on contemplating if I should apply for a job before actually leaving for my internship. I mean, my internship has not been totally approved, but I keep on giving myself the pat on the back saying, "let's stay positive". I know I did not really want it hugely at the first place, but now that it totally sank into me - my direction for goal goes out to my west. What I'm actually waiting for right now is the last ever process to approve if I am really going to land on this job. Okay, I'm not keeping anymore secrets. I actually was accepted to intern at Hyatt Regency Jacksonville, Florida; and I'm only waiting for my papers for my visa documents and interview. I really do pray that I could land it on my first try. I don't know the processing for it, but I know I would be able to study it as soon as I have the necessary documents. Meanwhile, as I was saying.  The contemplation has been about pursuing a job in a bookstore that we all book lover...

The Perfect Mix

"I would have loved to be part of the indie community. But I wasn't. I was looking for a community, I don't even know any people who are musicians. I never met that indie popular indie, whoever the fuck that is. Who IS indie? First of all, I can't really get my head around what indie music is. Because if you've heard of it, it's sort of pop music, right? Because it's, like, popular? Or is it just that it's not on the radio? It's not like I was in an indie community and then I blew up. It's like, I was living on the street and I'm not – like, for real, you know what I'm saying?" -Lana Del Rey One thing that brings me closer to marrying Lana (in my dreams), would be her sense of style and that involves her hair, her make-up, her clothes and her body. But the very main reason why I love her is her drunken feel like voice that soothes my soul. The perfect mix of mysterious agenda and coming out of the flesh. ...

Honorable Mention

I seriously thought that I did not make it, but I guess my calculations were wrong. HAHA Achieved!  Thank you Lord, so much blessings, so little time. :D

Internship

While this surreal feeling is abundant in my chest, let me write this down because this feeling would never happen again because... ... I passed my first ever job interview in my whole life! and it's just not even a compromised job that I would take if ever I lose all my hopes up. lol I honestly didn't felt that nervous before the interview because I only had little intentions of going through this job (I, honestly, just tried it out of sheer blue), but I guess, God gave me what's best for me (hopefully). And I will be forever grateful if this pushes through. But then, I don't want to jinx it because I still have another (terror-ed) interview to pass! Thank you Lord for giving me this blessing! :D

Back stroke

Image
Since it's the last day of summer for my dear brother, I invited him to swim with me in Ohana. The last time when I was here, was when my friend Mario had his birthday celebration, and that time totally blowed up my mind to swim again.  We swam for two hours and it actually felt so long already. I don't know what happened to the, "swim until sun down attitude that I used to had" lol. Anyway, it was still fun, since my brother taught me some strokes that I had long forgotten. I shall master the back stroke soon!  Back float + blue skies = ultimate stress reliever

Just from a gelatin and a tummy rub drink

Can I just say that my Mom makes the greatest things! She made this yakult + gelatin experiment, which tastes so good especially if you're a yakult fanatic like me. And with that Mom, who would not look up to her greatness, humility and strength; imagine handling a business, a husband, 3 insane kids, and employees; who's, not to mention, dependent on her. MY GULAY life as a Mom is so tiring, but she still pursues to be one - never retiring. I could never imagine life without her. I love you! :D

A fraternal twin: shirt to dress

Image
Ding ding ding! Since most of my first DIY projects were all failures (in my eye), here's one that seemed to go out well. Sorry if the other pictures seemed to be different from the others, the others were shot at night, and I don't even have the necessary photography skills to make it lit worthy. I saw a lot of old clothes my Dad used to wear. I got curious about the pile of clothes so I called my Mom to help me clean it up, imagine my enthusiasm once I saw this shirt! I actually got interested because of the skinny stripes of this one.  So I had the initial intentions to make this as a dress since it was long enough to hide my unwanted peek-a-boos. I cut through the sleeves, as other tutorials from YouTube have taught me.  Since the arm hole was way bigger than what I expected it to be, I decided to join the sides together.  Used the cloths from the sleeves that I had cut from.  TA-DAH! You saw what I did there, ya? ...
