I thought of sharing this with you because I discovered the Sports Mode on my Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8. It was better than the Auto mode because it really focuses on where you tap, therefore, you'll have a great macro effect on your photo. So I did a little photo testing with the things I'm planning to do over the weekend. After having a good Friday night with the team, I woke up feeling great on a Saturday morning; Knowing that Noriel will come over. I was surprised a little when mom told me that there would be a get together with family friends on the afternoon, and with that, I was able to introduce N to them, and we both had a good time together while enjoying the night and had some review as well. I am really grateful of Sunday since my hormones are at that time again, but N decided to come over to continue our agenda for the weekend. He brought me food and green tea.
Today is holiday at work because it's QC day! I'm supposed to work from home but I got a time out with my mom and aunt. We dropped by this Thrift Shop nearby and found this sophisticated clutch for a cheap cheap price! And now I find myself wanting to go back to that shop. I smell retail therapy now. It doesn't have a designer tag but it's the quality that I'm going for. Also, I am thinking of revamping my online shop, The Clothespress, and have these kind of babies sold.
N and I started playing Bowling at Eastwood City and we got hooked. That we both influenced each of our families, especially our parents to play bowling again. This is a good activity to spend family time, but it's bit crowded at SM Megamall's Bowling Alley that we waited for almost an hour to get our own lane. Before getting our strikes, we had late lunch at Barrio Fiesta, as N is expecting that sweet shrimp paste known in the restaurant. It was a bit disappointing as it tasted different for him. (Still good food though!) On specials are Kare-Kare and Crispy Pata. My dad's missing in action for he's at Batangas for a project, so we just called him during the day. Good thing we had light dinner at Max's before getting exhausted at the Taxi Bay. It's one crazy line, added by the rainy weather! While waiting, we both got the time to talk and play, and mom's busy on phone. It's our first time to use Easy Taxi app. It's cheaper that Grab Taxi by less PHP 30. It was just a great day to spend with the people I love. Happy birthday, Noriel! I wish you well for your board exams. I love you.
It has been weeks since my last post so I had to do some updates, especially on my work. It was pretty obvious that I am being a busy woman, that it came to a point I didn't check my facebook for the whole 24 hours. It was really an achievement but it didn't matter at all. Good thing that I had time to prepare for this month and for the remaining months of 2014. I was excited for this is a big leap for my career, and for myself overall. I am truly proud of myself at this very point.
Above are some snaps posted on my instagram, where in change started. Change would really start on your social media, on how you wanted yourself to be perceived by others (of course). I am guilty of taking a lot of selfies. Yet, looking at my feed, it won't make sense if it consists of them. If my feed won't serve any purpose, so am I. Basically, I am restarting over without deleting everything. As these things are proof of what I am before, what I am now, and what I wanted to become. Some things are now clearer than before. I am trying to be strong to overcome things, such as decision making and time management. Also, the snippets above are the highlights of this week. First, I was able to communicate my issues, and appreaciate my workmates more. We had a team building before the first week of August, and I am really glad this pushed through. (Thanks to my boss, who has been open and given me opportunities to grow more.) Second, I was able to splurge a little on food during overtimes at work. I was trying to be thrifty at this point because Christmas is almost near! But I realized I was worth of what I am working for. ;-) Though don't overdo it. I gained almost 10 lbs! And lastly, I am more free now. After coming out, letting the world know about me and my boyfriend, we had to adjust for some little reasons. But hey, this is a good thing for us. It made me rethink my life plans and goals. x, C. All photos courtesy of (c) Reyn Monteloyola
The team and I had to push through this team building since February of this year, and thank goodness it happened this first weekend of August at Morong, Bataan. From months of planning, I never thought I would have fun because I still have that "hangover" feeling, aside from the drinks that we had during the night while playing UNO, Poker, Lucky 9, and Pusoy. The obstacle course drained me out as well. Despite of the hangover (literally), I was able to wake up around 5:30 am and manage to cook breakfast for the team. Cooking brunch is just my kind of thing now. It's almost everyone's first time here and we really had a good time at Coral View Beach Resort. Plus, the trip while in the car and stop overs added more good memories to cherish. |
