November has always been my month! So much to thank for! :) Just this week, I finally got accepted as an intern at Pepsi Inc! Well, as you all know, Pepsi has been one of the most leading soft drink companies all over the world, so I’m just so proud of myself I got in! It’s just so sad that my 2 other friends didn’t :( But that’s okay, I’m pretty sure some better job is waiting for them :)

AND!!! I have this weird and freaky thing to share. Well, about a few months ago, I read somebody’s tweet talking about this Astrology app on Facebook, saying it sorta gives her relevant predictions. And curious I was, I tried it myself though I never really believed in Horoscopes.

My first horoscope was about a family member that I’ve had a fight with, which really made me officially creeped out because that’s the very time I had a fight with my sister and we never talked for almost a month!! Coolio, eh?

So, last Wednesday, I checked my horoscope again and it goes like this:

“Don’t wait for them to contact you – even if that seems to be the right thing to do. You need to speak something out, something that is “big” and from the heart.”

I didn’t care much about it until next day, my friend Belle suggested we should follow up our internship application since it’s been a week already and there’s no call from the company. It’s like deja vu – but something I already read, then heard again from my bestfriend. So I agreed, skipped classes and went back to the company.

The staffs directed us to their Sales Manager and told us they couldn’t take us 4 as all interns since there’s already other 2 existing interns. It’s so sad that they have to choose among us. And since I have the most number of other internship opportunities, I asked them if it’s possible to take my 3 friends as interns then I’ll just find another company. The manager said that’s quite possible so she’ll just think about it.

I know, that’s a little impulsive decision of mine but I have no intention of deceiving the bosses by means of some heroic move or whatnot. It’s just that, among us all 4, it’s me who can easily find another company for internship because there’s my parents who know almost everybody, and my family is related/connected to the Governor and the Mayor. LOL. Also, I don’t think I can take the fact that 1 of my friends will be working alone and there’s the 3 of us working together.

But then again, the decision was still on the managers’ hands so we just went home, pigged out and watched a couple of movies. Just before they go home, Julie read a text from the manager saying she got in. I don’t know but I really felt sad about it. It’s wrong. Why am I feeling such thing when I actually whole-heartedly accepted that they can all have the job but me. So wrong I just bursted into tears after Julie left. The whole night, I was puzzled and stressed out about it. My mom even noticed how baggy my eyes were and how depressed I look, so she cheered me up that really lifted my spirits up.

I’m just sad because among the 4 of us, 1 got in and 3 didn’t. Also, I feel a little jealous because I really really love to work with Pepsi.

The next morning, Julie went to the company alone to confirm all the requirements needed. Then the 3 of us went out again to find another company. At 9am, Julie sent us 3 a message saying I also got in!!

So okay, first thing I felt about it: Nothing.

Nothing, because, one, I’m done accepting the fact that I won’t get in. Two, how about my 2 other friends???! :(

But then, Teressa and Anabel felt so happy about it saying at least 2 of us got in, that it’s better that way, 2 work together at Pepsi Inc, the other 2 work together at some company.

TL;DR: I got in.

Well, hello! Took a few days to make my blog up and running again! As you all know, I got hacked again by some Internet creeps who are probably… oh never mind, they might hack me again. LOL. Anyhoo! I’ve got a bajillion words to spill! And I’m gonna start by babbling out every details of my 20th birthday. Oh yeah, gone are my teenage days. Pfft.

So! The last days of my teenage days were just so wicked I didn’t have any regrets splurging all my savings!! Well, it took me 2 months to save that much of money and spent them all in a jiffy. No regrets, really. He he he.

Moving on! Here’s a bullet list of the things happened on the last 5 days of my teen age days:

October 21st: Went major shopping with my cousin. Splurged my money with clothes and some camping stuff, then totally pigged ourselves out.

October 22nd: Can’t exactly remember what I did this day. I probably took a rest and watched tons of movies to kill time.

October 23rd: 1pm, I met Che’s parents to talk about our getaway which was really really awkward because I had to lie about it cos they’re not going to allow Che to come if I did say we’re going hiking and camping at some isolated island. LOL. Eventually, it went pretty much okay.

2pm, I headed to my Father’s. Before going inside the house, I saw my step brother looking so anxious and so awkward. I asked his little sister why and told me his girlfriend is coming!! I was like “what girlfriend?!, whose girlfriend?! girlfriend?! really?! what?! explain!!” LOL. My brother is just 12 years old, yknow. Hahah! So okay, I met his girlfriend. Well, she’s not that pretty but I think she’s cute, especially when she smiles. My father was just laughing cos we both just knew about it.

Papa gave me then his gift — some huge amount of money I’ve been asking a month before my birthday. Haha!

4pm, I went shopping for some food for the hiking + camping.

7pm, I met up with my 2 bestfriends Belle and Teressa. We had dinner together before going to Anne’s place which is our meeting place before hitting the road.

October 24th: 12am, we started to get going. The long hour drive went crazy with gossips and jokes!

3AM, we reached Brgy. Pundaquit, Zambales. It’s too dark, no single streetlight! Thus we gone astray! The street signs are a little confusing and there’s nobody awake to ask for directions so we had to park our car in front of a resort, hoping somebody might come out and help us. No luck. We decided to spend the whole dawn there til the sun is up. It’s so dark that all you can see is the bright moon up above plus those super shiny stars. And for the first time of my life, I saw a real shooting star and wished we’d safely get to Anawangin Cove.

4AM, we started hitting the road again because we discovered we’re actually parked on a dead-end street. LOL

We found a municipal hall but there’s no one to ask! And then an old guy came by and we started asking him loads of questions. The old man was super kind to answer them all and even called his friend who could help us hike Mount Pundaquit. So we met Mang Ariel, a boatman and a mountain guide. How lucky were we!!

Mang Ariel offered himself as a guide but the price is quite costly, so we just took the boat roundtrip to Anawangin Cove which was a lot cheaper. When we finally reach the island, Mang Ariel didn’t leave us yet til we’re all set. He’s such a nice man, I tell you.

Anawangin Cove is surreal. The trees, the beach, the lake, the sand, the mountains… Breath-taking!! :)

The day went superb. Set up our tents, had some good food, hiked a small but very steep mountain, swam under the sun, took crazy pictures, played by the lake, bought some fishes to grill, caught some clams to cook, collected sea shells by the shore, had some rum and some cigars, sang, danced, slept like a bear.

October 25th! 12AM, somebody woke me up saying it’s time for our bonfire!! I was so sleepy and still a little tipsy when I got up and didn’t notice the table beside me with 20 cupcakes with 20 candles on it, party hats, and some food. Surprise birthday party!!! Bullshark! It was so sweet :”>

So we spent the whole dawn eating, chit-chatting, laughing, singing, dancing around the bonfire. Then walked around to catch some crabs by the sea shore. Haha!

4am-ish, we went back to sleep.

8AM, we had a good break fast! Then started swimming again til we all get sunburn. LOL.

And oh, they sang me the birthday song and I felt so awkward cos I don’t know what to do!!! LOL

1PM, we swam by the lake. Oh, it’s my favorite part of the island. It has this very very very clean water coming from the mountain. It’s surrounded with pine trees which makes the view more relaxing and calming.

The rest of the day went pure awesome.

We left the island at exactly 4pm and went home safely by 8pm.

PS: If you’re planning to go Anawangin Cove, you can contact our super kind boatman, Mang Ariel: 09162868353.

Warning: People say the island is a little mysterious at times. Don’t forget to pray! And don’t swim far from the shore. Also, bring extra food and water. There’s a store in the island but their products’ prices are doubled/tripled.

Okay, I really don’t know how to start this blogpost, so without any preambles, I’m just gonna blurt it all out.

So, 2months ago, I finally said the 3 magic words – I Love You – to someone I really like. Well, if you’re an avid reader of my blog, you probably know him. The decision was hard to make but every signs said yes, every questions were answered, and most of all, he deserves a yes.

Though I’m still busy with school and with any other stuff, I try to find time to at least send him text messages every day. Lame girlfriend? Super!! Well, that’s just one of the consequences :p Maybe after this semester, I can spend more time with him. Maybe.

So! Here’s the tough question I’ve been asking myself: Am I Happy? Well, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll take “maybe” as an answer. So many things are happening in my life right now and I’m not sure if it’s right that I actually did that decision. Man, I hate myself. I feel like I’m just using him to cover up all that things I can’t even define.

It crushes me bit by bit.

Truth is, my life is totally fucked up at the moment. Can’t tell why, can’t tell how. This blog is too public right now that even my Mom reads this so I’m just gonna keep it myself.

But don’t worry, I’ll be fine. It’s not something worth a suicide or anything. LOL

PS: Hello, Mom.

Congratulations to myself for keeping up this blog for 2 years this September 3, 2011! Yay! I can hardly believe it has been 2 years <3 Though I don't constantly blog here, I'll never abandon this niche since it's really something sentimental to me :) I was actually planning some blogoversary contest/give-away but I'm way too bust right now to launch such :| Maybe on the 3rd blogoversary? Hehe. Anyway, I just renewed Purpink's domain name so yeah, another year for my venting machine! Woohoo!! <3

Moving on, I actually bought another domain name. This time, it's more personal since it has my initials but I won't tell it yet :p It's actually supposed to be my online portfolio but since I didn't have the time to fix it, I just made it as an online daily diary. Just like Purpink but it's more into Micro-blogging, hosted by Tumblr, and I blog there more often since I feel more comfortable blogging on something private :) But of course, Purpink will always be my blogging-buddy :)

So, here's what I'm up to lately! Beside of being busy with my Thesis, I've been also busy taking care of a puppy :) Yeppp, a new puppy! As you all know, my dog, Jamjam, died last February :(

Meet Chippy!

He’s a Shih Tzu puppy :) He’s a little shy and you’ll always find him either under my bed or under the sofa. He doesn’t sleep on his crate but always on the floor. Most of the time, he likes me to walk him. It’s so cute when he tries to go up a stair because he whines when he couldn’t :p I’m in love with this pup *u*

Anyyyyyway, the first day of my September was bloody. Bloody because I just had a molar tooth extraction yesterday. Haha. Oh man, I was literally shaking while my dentist was injecting that anesthesia. Eugh! But the extraction went okay, since I didn’t feel a thing :p After it, I ate loads of icecream, as the dentist suggests.

Right now, I’m a bit sick due to that tooth removal but I no longer feel the pain in my gums. My best friend Bel actually visited me a while ago and gave me something she cooked – fried bananas and sweet potatoes with some cream on it. Yum! Too bad I didn’t have the time to take a picture of it since I quickly grabbed and ate it :p :p

So, that’s for now. I still have loads of kwento but I’m just gonna vent it all out on my private blog. Heehee. Ciao!

I think, therefore I am a woman.

These past few days, I’ve became more conscious about my body, my face, my clothes, and everything about my appearance. I actually didn’t notice that until my cousin told me so. I just realized how much I’ve changed. Every morning, I work out, then I take a long walk every night along with my cousin. Also, I no longer drink any sodas, but I’ve got a new addiction which is coffee, is that bad? :p Hehe. I’ve been also engaging myself to swimming, like at least 2 times a week. Too bad I’m still busy with my thesis so I can’t take much time swimming. About my wardrobe, no more t-shirts, just decent blouses and some fierce-y sleeveless top :D And oh, I now use cosmetics besides of a lipstick and a facepowder. Hehe. It’s just so frustrating that I can’t still figure out how to put an eyeliner on the eyelid -_-” Makeups I use: Mascara from Maybelline/Max Factor/Nichido, Eyeshadows from Nichido/Loreal, Matte pressed powder from F.A.B/Garnier, pencil eyeliner from Stylie-style, Lipsticks from Cover Girl/MF/Maybelline/Loreal and some I can’t remember the name. Wow, that sounded like some celebrity thanking her sponsors, lol. I don’t know but I think I’ve got a little addiction with cosmetics o_o. Hahaha.

In addition to my ~womanhood~, I no longer ask my parents for money, except for my “baon” at school haha. Me myself buy my own stuff now out of my very own savings :) It really feels good whenever I buy something with my own money! Last month, I just bought myself an Ipod :D Heehee! :)

I may have changed a bit, but I’m still a kid trapped in a woman’s body. Right now, I’m still hooked with the game Tiny Tower :3 Just last night, I created myself my own bitizen!! Here’s a picture:

Isn’t she cute!! Hahaha. Currently using it as my display picture on Twitter :)

Ooh, long post. TL;DR? Bye! :p
