I think I've outgrown my Sanrio collection. *Hikbi* I didn't think the day would ever come, but whenever I go to the mall these days, I don't get excited about going into the Sanrio store anymore. *SIGH. Bye, bye childhood.
Anyway, but I think a new collection has begun. I've been meaning to start this a long time ago, but the funds were never there. When I went to Manila, I bought a Starbucks coffee mug that said "Manila" on it. It's part of the international City Mugs Collection of Starbucks. Today, I bought the Seattle one from the Skyline series. If I drive to Vancouver next weekend, then that's another mug. Getting the Portland one shouldn't be a problem also. When I go to Colorado at the end of May, I can get the Denver one at that time. Yay! Hopefully, collecting these mugs will finally get me moving around the country...and soon after, the world.

I Give Up
According to the teenyboppers that came before me, Vaness Wu (think F4) was named after a street in California. I haven't come across any information regarding where specifically this street is in California (like I care anyway). If these girls were *NSYNC fans, I swear, the name of the city plus zip code would've been common knowledge by this time!
Anyway, I'm here to say that it is in San Francisco. How do I know? Because while doing my bi-weekly marketing mailings today, one of the labels was addressed to a certain house in Vanness Street, San Francisco, CA. That's two Ns, by the way. My first reaction? "This is not happening! You've got to be kidding me!" Last week, it was the Vacation Planner request from someone in Taiwan. Two days ago, it was the Alt + F4 incident. Then today, it was the Vanness Street in San Francisco label. What does the F4 gods have in store for me next?! You know what, I don't even want to know. Hmph. Starting tomorrow, I am going back to my loveless, waiting-for-the-real-Prince-Charming-that-speaks-English self. No more teenybopper ways. No more! My sanity is too precious to lose. *Cough. HeHe.

Today at Work
Me: K, do you know how to get rid of this pop-up ad on L's computer? It doesn't let me close it.
K: Yeah, just hit Alt + F4.
Out of all the keys on a keyboard, did it have to be F4?! Ayoko na talaga! Pati sa trabaho, ginugulo ako! I want my pre-Meteor Garden life back. *SIGH.

10 Things I Hate About You
1. I hate how you're prettier than me.
2. I hate how you've made me like Asian boys when I never did before.
3. I hate how you've caused me to spend most of my free time surfing the internet.
4. I hate how you've made me like you despite the fact that we have nothing in common.
5. I hate how you will never know that I exist.
6. I hate how you've made me accept your "Please have a treat over there" line in your commercial as correct.
7. I hate how you can make me leave my dance class 15 minutes early to get home in time for our daily dates.
8. I hate how you've turned me into a teenybopper again.
9. I hate how you've made me write this post for cathartic reasons.
10. I hate you for the things you do, but I lust you.
Really, I do.

The I in Idealist
Yesterday was my first monthsary at Job #1. Although going to work doesn't excite me as much as other things do, I don't think there is much to complain about. I only drive 6 miles to get to work everyday. None of the traffic reports that I hear on the radio concerns me at all. I don't have to pay for parking. We have a water cooler in the office so I can maintain my 8 glasses of water/day regimen. The bathroom is right next door. Target is a block away. I have my own workspace and computer. I get to use my creativity in creating vouchers, flyers, newsletter contents, and cover letters, which is what I love to do. Although I've had bosses who were much nicer towards me, my Job #1 boss certainly doesn't rival the one in The Devil Wears Prada. I am definitely thankful for what I have right now. However, I still question whether this is what I'm meant to do.
During my website's early years, I included the Kabalarian's name report on my page to explain who I am. After six years, I decided to check on my name again. This line caught me for the first time: Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. I've checked some acquaintances' reports, and some actually said how great they would be at doing business. I compare those to mine, and mine actually states something about doing good for humanity; nothing at all about what I went to school for.
Since graduation, I've read What Should I Do With My Life? and most recently, The Alchemist, allowing me to be more confused than ever about my life. Am I really supposed to be the next Mother Theresa as what my name report said? LoL.
I was talking to our Marketing Coordinator this past week and she asked me what I wanted to do "when I grow up." Here I was thinking that when you're finally in the real world and have a full-time job related to your college diploma, that you're all grown up and that this is it. Apparently not. I told her that I wanted to put up a non-profit organization when I get older. She laughed because she said that we're both into not making any money at all for a career. HeHe. She then asked me what kind of non-profit organization and I said, "Bringing education to third world countries. Basically, I think I'm trying to be Oprah." She said that it was so obvious that I just got out of college and that she was like me when she was my age. I asked her if her idealism faded over the years and she said yes. She got married, had kids, and eventually, her priorities changed.
So, does this mean that my idealism will also fade as the years pass by? Does this mean that I'm not supposed to know what I'm meant to do in this world until I'm much older? Does this mean that I should just follow what society dictates and not give in to the stuff that I have read lately? Am I the only one thinking this way? Is it even normal to be this confused about one's existence? HeHe.
