malipayon kaayo gyud!

the coincidences these days are funny. just a few weeks back, i was thinking of some adjustments id like to make --- work on being more sociable and 'out there'. i have to admit, part of the reason im not addicted to going out is because its unfamiliar to me... and that makes me nervous. so the plan now is.. to trash my insecurity, go out, and just have some g'damn fun.

-----

cebu was fun. more fun than i expected. the work part was tiring as hell... but the two nights that we went out, it wasnt bad. i expect things will only keep getting interesting, challenging and exciting with this account --- great!
lets see where this takes me.

that social event wasnt so bad. met a lot of people... they were all pretty nice... one guy was an absolute cutie though! but overall, i survived well... took notes of how to be better the next time, but i think i did pretty great. venue was gorgeous, food was so-so, music was too baduy...lacked variety... only the oldies enjoyed. would have wanted to dance my ass off pa naman. ok na rin.. met a cute guy naman e. hope i run into him again! haha!

-----

the dive.
made a big adult decision today. decided on pushing through with an investment and i feel good about getting into this. looking forward to the next few years to see how this plays out. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

-----

so i guess its safe to say im pretty stoked with how things have been playing out for me the past month... i may have thought i wasnt doing a good job, but it turns out i was doing great. september was good, and october was a worthy follow-up.

BRING IT ON, NOVEMBER!

social studies

ive always thought i was a friendly person, i dont think id consider myself all that 'sociable'. although i think its perfectly normal, i still get antsy when i find myself in unfamiliar situations.

im about to go to a 'high society' event this weekend and its been strssing me out the past few days.

i keep thinking of what to wear... one, because i love every opportunity to dress up and be pretty and two, because events like those are unfamiliar to me --- makes it worse that ill be with a new Client that im still trying to get to know. anyway, ive decided to aim for dressing 'just right'.. it rather blend in (not look ravishingly good) than stand out because im over dressed or dressed wrongly.

im worried that i wont be able to be as conversational as i would want to be. hey, im a natural jolog... cant help it. ill have to muster up all the conyita in me.

ang insecure ko no? haha. but this is me being honest. i AM feeling insecure about this event. but like most of the unfamiliar things thrown my way these days, im hopeful that things will be a pleaseant surprise to me. if not, then i can always charge it to experience!

let this last...

ive been up up up there the past days. and i have no complaints about it!

PLEASE LET IT STAY THIS WAY.

i like me this way... heck, who wouldnt?

dreammoods.com

read kaye's blog and she had a link to a dream dictionary... so i checked why my last vivid dream might mean...

Death
To dream of your own death, indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Alternatively, you are trying desperately to escape the demands of your daily life.


Die
To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something.


On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation.

nothing to say

i havent been posting much lately... and its not as if there is nothing to write. i think for the longest time i was conscious of what to write because i was aware others would read it... duh-uh! isnt that the entire point of a blog?

so anyways, i wanted to write something new... just because i have a couple of minutes to spare tonight, but really dont have anyhting in mind.

ive been reading through friends' blogs (something i haven't been able to do much as well), and it got me thinking how much time and energy ive been 'spending working'... and the irony is that there are days when i feel im not working enough.. or at least not fast enough. hmm... something smells fishy here....

speaking of work, everyone seems to be busy these days... at least most advertising people i know... myself included. by busy, i mean the good kind... the kind that keeps you feeling smart and tickles your brain. hay.

now its time to dive back into my work... hope i can go out soon... i should actually...

thanks maykhel

i was feeling emotional over the weekend... and you sorted me out.
somehow, you always manage to say the right things.

thanks for saying: "whoever made you feel that way isn't worth it"
i didnt expect hearing that would calm my worries.. you made me cry, but at least i was calmer. so from now on, ill call you whenever i get anxious. hahahaha! kidding...

by the way, i DID dream of your bay window that night ha... except karlo and mic were there too... haha.

come visit me soon? i promise, mom will be okay if you guys sleep over.

september fly-by

ive been busy the past month... and september has been an exciting month for me!

1. Sept 1 bomb threat
2. 2 and a half weeks of no aircon
3. Won a new account - my first pitch... buena mano!
4. Pitched for yet another account
5. Milenyo - first time i experienced motion sickness dahil sa likot nung building... first time i had to climb down 26 floors worth of stairs, then look for a place to relocate and work

these on top of the regular workload of TVC and print shoots, meetings here and there, paperwork, and all the regular load we have.

several times have i found myself falling asleep wearing exactly what i wore to work (minus the shoes)... i havent been THAT tired in a LONG time... feels great! plus, i literally have no energy left to have 'unnecessary' worries.

its been a good september for me... and for the office (generally speaking)... and it seems that the workload will stay this way up until first week of december... time will literally fly this last quarter. great!
