Color of Love

I find it absolutely amusing that when you don't have any money, you find a lot of things that you want to buy.

Back in March, when Pen and I decided to buy our "Friendship 40GB iPods," I gave in. Afterall, I had two jobs at that time. However, after buyer's remorse kicked in and I came to my senses, I returned the precious thing to Amazon simply because I would rather have the more expensive iPod Photo with its colored screen.

Today, I found out that Apple had merged the best of both worlds and the iPods now come with full-color display. Best of all, the relatively old 30GB iPod Photo is now on clearance, screaming "You can afford me now!"

I know that SE Asia is screaming my name. I know that some of the 7,107 islands want me to visit them. But dang, it has a colored screen! LoL.

Someone find me a job in Manila now so that I could justify this purchase! HeHe!

The Way You Make Me Feel

I may not be giddy about any of the jobs available here in Seattle, but there are a bunch in Manila that would just fulfill my wildest dreams (sans traveling around the world for free, of course). These are jobs that exude fun for me. I guess compared to seafood just about anything will seem fun for me these days. HeHe.

Anyway, what is standing between me and these jobs? JobStreet telling me that I'm underqualified because I'm not a Filipino citizen. Ouch! Talk about hitting me where it hurts the most. It's called work permit, JobStreet! The PBA players have them; I can, too!

I mean, for once in my life, I would just like to see what it's like to come to work excited about what I'm doing, the people I'm working with, and the topics that I'm dealing with. Hmm...I may have something new to wish for on my birthday next month!

Back To The Future

I just watched ANC. I was so upset that I shoved two spoonfuls of Nutella in my mouth and called them breakfast.

Can someone just answer this little, yet oh so important, question of mine: "Then what?" You take the chair from The Little Woman, then what? Enlighten me, people. I just want to be able to relate to your sentiments because I don't get it.

Writings on the Wall

So I finally got around to e-mailing those who need to know my whereabouts in the next few weeks. Here are the replies:

Lay, my Singaporean friend from college
I am currently in Seattle. I returned here beginning this year. Long story cut short... Job outlook wasn't attractive in Singapore, so I decided to return to school again.

My Ninang
Anyway, ano naman ang nakain mo at gusto mo dito maghanap ng trabaho? Kung bakasyon ka, puede pa but to try your luck here in manila, parang nahihilo ka ata.

Ang saya, di ba? I don't have a tour guide in Singapore and I think my relatives are going to send me right back to Seattle after I set foot in Manila. Tsk. Tsk.

With all of that, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to explain terms like "soul searching," "quarter-life crisis," "I need a break," "backpacking in the Philippines" to those who will be asking me why I'm in Manila once I'm there. *SIGH.
