Another year.
Yep. I just turned 23. Shit. Another year has passed and I haven't accomplished anything big I could truly be proud of. Well, save for the fact that I am still working at IHG (the longest I've stayed in a company) but I'm not pretty sure if it counts. Anyway, as they always say...It's not your destination that counts, what's really important is your journey in reaching that destination. Or something to that effect??? Hehe...
Lessons I've learned at the age of 22:
1. Get rid of some of your old things. Yes, I understand that sometimes a lot of old stuff hold sentimental value but then again when you have the tendency to move houses twice in a year, better kiss them goodbye and give them away.
2. Nothing will happen if you just rant about things like how your job sucks, how you want to live abroad, how you're getting fat, how your stretch marks are getting longer and wider than the San Juanico Bridge..etc..etc..Do something about it! Start with a positive outlook in life. And stick to the old trick..."I CAN DO THIS...I CAN DO THIS!" and of course, use moisturizer!
3. Age 22 might be the lowest of the lowest point of the so-called quarter life crisis...But this should never eat you up alive. Breathe it out. It's a stage. It's normal. It's like pimples, they're made to piss you off but there are ways to get rid of them. (Try Panoxyl, by the way...for pimples!)
4. Sometimes living with friends is far much better than living with your own relatives. (In my case, that is.)
5. Money is the root of all evil. I've learned this in Christian Living way back in elementary but I never believed it...well, not until now. Proven and tested.
6. When you have the urge to cut your hair short, do it! When you feel like going on a spur of the moment vacation, go for it! When you're itching to sing "I Will Survive" in a videoke bar in front of a huge audience, do so! Life is too short for second thoughts...
7. Have your toenails pedicured before attending a VTR. You might have focused more on your hair and make-up and it's far too late for you to know that the casting director needs to see and scrutinize your feet. Hehe.
8. As always, ass-kissing bitches are always around. They are made to torment and torture you. Just put on your most indifferent look or better yet smile at them, trust me...this works! Haha!
9. SMILE always SMILE. Give lots of hugs and kisses and compliments...they create a happy and gay mood!
10. Some things are better left unsaid. Enough?
October 8
Everything was planned the day before my birthday...We're going to pig out at Dampa in Pque then go to Tagaytay for coffee but THEN...Darwin texted me..."Zara, may malaki akong kasalanan sayo...Malaki ang chance na hindi ako makasama kasi mago-OT kami tomorrow.Sorry..." We can't go to Pque and of course not to Tagaytay without Dar's trusted Revo. There's just too many of us... Damn you, McCann Erickson!! You ruined my birthday!! Damn you!!!!
Anyway, we went to Gerry's Park Square instead and I just hope everyone enjoyed their dinner. We took lots of pictures, had a lot of fun, laitan, bangayan, tsismisan...Then we went to our house and had some drinks, played charades, more laitan and bangayan, watched Amityville...I missed college life...I'm 23!!!!AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

##NAME##, I was just passing by on my search for things about acne treatment on
the Net, and dropped in on your blog. I was looking for stuff for my acne treatment site. Not
sure that your blog was exactly what I needed, but I enjoyed my visit all the same.
