Focus

I've been so focused on finding a research/medical/chemist job that I lost sight of what was truly important for my life. I lost track of my studying schedule. Maybe that's why I can't get any medical/science jobs -- maybe it's God way of telling me to focus on studying more than finding what will get me by these days.

It's kind of like finding true love. Maybe I should just let the job come to me instead of me trying so hard to find it. OF course, I won't stop trying hard to put myself out there, but now the realization that I just had just made me realize that getting myself into the career that I really want is much more important.

God has ways of providing for me.

My mother received a letter from the University Alumni Association about a health insurance benefit that I get as a graduate. It's "free" for 9 months. I got this letter myself during my PI vacation and I didn't get the chance to read it till I got back so I was pretty much passed the deadline date that was imprinted during that time, so I didn't register for it. However, here it is again, this time mom got it and deadline was extended. 

--- I am very glad that this happened because I am a little worried about health insurance these days since I know that I will be off of my mom pretty soon. God's little way of providing me -- lessen my worries per se. "Trust in Him, Do not be afraid"

NY Fashion Week from the eyes of Bill Cunningham

Watch the video. He makes a very good point about how women are having fun (and at the same time killing their feet) with their shoes.

Today...

* We had visitors during my work hours today. They are from the corporate office just trying to see how the place looks and how it's doing. One of the ladies has a British/Aussie accent when she said hi to me. I am amazed with British accents. 

* I was able to do some job hunting today. 

* I received another package from Proactiv today. I am sending it back as I have way too many kits  at my disposal right now. The customer service lady that I talked to at first told me that I had to pay shipping in order to send it back (big "HUH?" for me), so I decided to keep it. Then, I thought what's $5.95 vs $45? So, I gave them a call back to ask about the return shipping, this time it was a guy that I talked to and he issued me a return shipping label. Hmm.. I guess that lady was not completely trained on return policies. 

* Sites like these - unclutterer.com and thesimpledollar.com inspires me.

* I also remembered that I can get gift cards through ebay for less than $20-$30 their normal price. 

* Clinic did not call me today. I hope they call tomorrow. 

Rant

There's nothing more frustrating than a computer crashing on you whilst your in the middle of submitting an job application that you put so much effort in.

I don't even know if my application was submitted.

Itunes and Rentals

I just realized just now that iTunes offers to rent movies. 

WHYYY?? WHYYYY ???? WHYYYY??? 

God, is there a reason why my iPod's screen got squished like a bug? Why did that happen? Why? 

*siiigggghhh*

I'm starting my list of rentals. 

First one is "The Other Boleyn Girl" ---- because I just love sibling rivalry gone bad.. 

I won't complain about redundancy

As long as I love the job that I am doing. 

Tops

I read from Gene's book that in order to "inspire" or "create" a personal essay one has to brainstorm himself and his everyday life in order to get the inspiration of what to say when he starts writing. 

here goes... 

things that inspire me.. 

beauty, kids, fashion, pictures

things that motivate me.. 

anger (o good gosh..), annoyance, kids, a boring life, a chance to spend a day doing everything that I love doing. 

I think that's all for now. I remember that I posted something before that lists all the questions that medical school adcom asks during interviews. I should look into that. 

What is UP?

august, september, october, november, december. 

5 months. 

*shudder*

*JANUARY* = 1st attempt to play the game. 

I am giving myself 1 month of job hunting, after which if I don't find one remotely related to my career choice, I would have to go down the road of *environmental* and/or *clinical lab asst.* aka. lab helper.

Dear Lord, please help.

I AM SO EFFIN EXCITED TO BE DONE!!!

SOOOO... 

Here's what I can look forward to in the next (:O) week. 

- GRAD PARTY WITH FAMILIA AND FRIENDSHIP!! lechon in the house people! YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE!

- FINAL, LAST, HULING EXAMINATION ON MONDAY!!**

**at least for now..

- Do I smell SATC second viewing on Tuesday? 

- Do I smell Forever 21 shopping for dress for PI vacation, yet again?

- FRIDAY - Chemistry Department Graduation

O MI GOOOOSSSSHHH

- Saturday - THE BIG ONE!!!

Ok.. can you sense my excitement.. cause I can.. I am picking up tickets and my toga this Friday and Saturday. 

It is dawning on me that I am so freaking proud of myself. I graduated college. Even if I'm not on the dean's list or I don't have a 4.0 GPA average. I graduated... with a CHEMISTRY DEGREE!!

IIHHHHHHH!!!

PHILIPPINES!! YOU ARE SO FAR!! BUT YOU FEEL SO DAMN CLOSEE!!

I wonder what life is like..

- if you work for a magazine such as Lucky and Vogue?

- if you are one of the editors who get to try out clothes or beauty products for free?

- when you get to travel to places like Milan, Paris and New York to see couture and RTW clothes presented in runway shows?

- if you're the creative director who gets to style and direct shoots?

- if you're the photographer who gets to see your work of art displayed in museums, galleries and magazine editorials.

I wonder a lot when I start to become unmotivated again towards my own personal dream of becoming a d-o-c-t-o-r.

Good Things happen to those who wait...

A fortune that I had yesterday after eating at P.F. Changs.

I have been rather impatient lately.. Something about wanting something so badly, yet I have to hold myself back because I don't have enough means to have it just yet.

They say good things happen to those who wait.

We'll see what happens to me..

Graduation WishList

My sister has caused me to remember to do this (so don't blame me, ate!)

Materialistic version:

---> Macbook Black (wishful thinking, I KNOW, maybe I can get myself this next year)

---> International Charger for my iPod (preparing myself for the PI)

---> Starbucks Gift Card and/or Nordstrom Gift Card

---> A day of window shopping either in Portland or San Francisco (another wishful thinking.. but then again, San Francisco might come true.. hahahaha.. right Ate Inee?)

Oddly enough, these are all I wish for material wise.. 

As for "life" wishes:

---> For the Padre to go with us to Bohol

---> Decisiveness as to where to go for the family dinner after my department graduation

---> No rain in the PI between June 26-July 8

---> No more rain in Seattle (at least for the last days of spring and for the whole summer)

---> Job interviews after my PI vacation.

that's all folks!
