4 Months Later...

It has been 4 months since I last posted something out here and a lot has changed since, and I mean A LOT.

For starters, just a quick round-up from my last post.

Well, April 16 went well for my friend, Lennie (let's just skip the part how she got it all together.) It was their final requirement in fashion school to have their collection on the catwalk. I am not biased, but I think she showcased one of the best creations. We might have different opinions, but I love her avant-garde style.

Lennie in the limelight

*gave her black roses that night! :P*

The next day went well for me and J, too. We celebrated our second year in Tagaytay. Kudos to him for researching all that there is to do in Tagaytay, but what we mainly did was EAT! :)

First stop was Breakfast at Antonio's (for lunch)

Ordered their sumptuous burger! Definitely tops my fave burgers list.

J ordered something with truffle (oil).

Best blueberry cheesecake evaaah at Bag of Beans!

Ziplined at Picnic Grove (no picture!) but kept laughing all the way!

Checked out Nurture Spa (for future references, haha!)

Not too long after lunch and dessert, we tried Chateau Hestia.

The owners are German and their language really fascinated me. :)

Sometime in May... didn't really work out. But instead...

I HAD MY FIRST JOB. As a regular-paying employee, and not just some freelance shiznit who thrives on one-time-big-time rackets. I worked for a wedding photographer as a graphic artist. I was excited to land the job at first because I thought it would entail a lot of traveling (prenups and all), but sadly, I found out that couples do not opt for a June wedding as most of us expect. And I, on the other hand, do not like to opt for a job requiring me to remain stationary, in a very... controlled working environment, doing monotonous work. I am kinesthetic in nature, and not being able to move freely kills me. Not in a literal sense, of course. To cut the long story short, I did not like my job and my working environment. I felt underemployed (and not to mention, underpaid!) and I do not feel like I can grow from it. I dragged myself to work everyday, from Day One. I always looked forward to lunch break and 6PM. That's how unhappy I was.

I never got to sign a contract as a "freelance-trainee" with the events company. But I did receive a project offer... during Day One of Job One. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to scream "WHYYY NOWWW?" out loud. *Michael Learns to Rocks' 25 Minutes playing on the background* This is probably the reason why I did not like Job One - it made me miss a lot of opportunities. But maybe, this was also a blessing in disguise. The freelance job was not so glamorous at all, I was told. It was one thing I just cant do.

June 4 to 6 was one hell of an adventure for me and my friends. I won't go into details anymore. Caramoan is paradise, but somehow, getting there requires you to go through hell first. :)) But one thing this trip taught me is to take risks - which I did the minute I woke up the next day after I arrived.
