Modern Women Want Different Things
Posted on February 3, 2012 12:00AM
"I'm not saying I don't want it," I corrected Charlie. "I'm just saying that I don't want it...yet. Am I making sense?"
"No."
I sighed.
"Okay, " I continued. "Here's the way I see it. That property--that's Logan's, not mine. Sure, when I become his wife, magiging sa akin din 'yun by law but...I want to have my own property, something that I bought with my own money. And besides, Logan's property is on the 'Upper East Side.'"
"Ano?" -
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait...
Posted on January 15, 2012 12:00AM
Just a few days after that dinner in Empire Deli & Restaurant, I received a call from the headhunters for St. Luke's Global City. They were looking for a senior PR writer who could start immediately.
It was my first time to do a Skype interview. Seriously, they do this now? What happened to face-to-face interviews? It was almost funny. From the waist up, I was dressed like a newscaster, complete with eye makeup (which my mother did) and hair tied neatly in a high ponytail. I was even wearing one of those corporate jackets that Charlie wore when I bumped into her at Greenbelt 3. But under that (and unknown to them), I was just wearing a pair of loose boxers from Logan and fluffy white slippers. -
Goodbye, Self-Doubt
Posted on January 14, 2012 12:00AM
Seven days later, I still had no calls. Not a single one. Well, that is, from the companies I sent my resume to. Logan was the only one we kept calling to ask me about my job hunt. No matter how many times people tell me to forget about it first, how could I do that when my future is on the line here?!
After two weeks, still there was nothing. Whenever my email said I had a new message, my excitement would be crushed when I logged on only to find another email from Deal Grocer. -
Finding A Job At 26
Posted on January 13, 2012 07:00AM
Two weeks have passed since our Hong Kong trip, but the scents, flavors, and sounds of that beautiful, lively city remained in my mind. But as I slowly slid back into my usual routine, I began to feel this somewhat depressed state creep back in.
Aside from writing about my recent trip, I found myself with absolutely nothing to do. No big projects to plan, no pending writing assignments to rush, no trips to look forward to. And since I don't have a 9-to-5 job like the rest of my friends, dance and kickboxing classes at the gym were the only schedules that kept me on my toes. Of course, whenever I felt like dressing up, I'd just go to McKinley Hill and work at CBTL while waiting for Logan so we could later have a fancy dinner in one of the restaurants there (I love, love, love Empire Deli & Restaurant).
But, that was it.

There's Nothing Worse Than Feeling Directionless
Posted on June 26, 2011 12:00AM
"Purpose, it's that little flame that lights a fire under your ass."
Princeton, the lead character in Avenue Q, was right. That's what purpose is. Whether you know what your purpose is or not, it keeps you moving. I envy those who claim to know it right from the start and actually end up being what they said they would be back in kindergarten.
I thought of becoming an architect when I was a kid because I was always good at drawing. I would design and create things, and even today, I still paint. At some point, I wanted to be an astronaut, an interior designer, an Olympic figure skater, a psychologist, a lawyer, a pastry chef, a hot female drag racer, and for a brief period in my late teens, I wanted to be a singer.
