Closet Purge | Apparel

8/29/2017

0 Comments

 
My closet is a huge mess. I usually wear the same thing specially on casual days and that makes me feel like I don't have enough clothes. Then again, when I open it, it's like everything is gonna fall on me.

Here's a guideline to purging you're own closet:
​

1. Segregate your clothes.

 As to season:
I live in a tropical country so it's either sunny or rainy. The thing about the weather these days is that it's rainy in the morning, sunny during mid-day and then it'll start raining again at around 5:00pm so I have to keep both in my tiny closet. Then again, if you know you wont be needing it in a few months, you might want to keep it in your storage.
          
As to purpose:
Separate clothes that you use for work, for a casual day out, parties and of course at home. Most of the tops I got rid of are worn out shirts I wear at home.

2. Try it on.

Wear your clothes to separate what fits from what doesn't. A size 6 on one brand may be a size 8 on another.

The Office | Stress and Joy of Commuting

8/24/2017

0 Comments

 

​Using public transportation is like going on a little adventure to get to work specially when rain pours. 
You walk, run, have a little bit a battle, a stroll by the water or in the water, and in case of emergencies, get in a boat or swim.

So here's list of things you're missing, but might not want to miss, if you're a commuter:
​

1. Being early.

You don't just wake up early, get up early. I don't live in the metro but I'm still working in the city. Jeepneys are scarce during peak hours and traffic will be heavy so I have to leave the house an hour and a half before if I want to get to work on time. 

I can still remember choosing between sleeping in for another thirty minutes, having breakfast and getting my makeup done and until now, I'm still choosing the first.

I prefer to clock in thirty minutes before work starts. That way I can eat breakfast with a fresh face on without worrying about being late.
​

2. Gear up for the weather.

Instagrammable OOTD's take time to prepare and easily ruined with a sudden change in weather specially if you're a commuter.

I'm soaking wet yesterday because of the heavy rain fall. Even my shoes were squishy on the inside because I had to walk through a flooded street to get to work. By mid-day, it was scorching hot. Now, the overcoat that saved me from getting wet in the morning is a burden resting at the back of my office seat or in my arm on the way home.

Nail Art Stamping for Beginners

Nail Art Stamping is one fast way of getting an intricately designed mani-pedi but honestly, it's not as easy as the instagram and youtube videos show. It can be really messy and other than your "stamping skills", the outcome of the design may vary depending on the polish, plate, scraper and stamp you're using. It may not pick up the design right or may transfer poorly as well.

​Here's a list of things to be prepared with if you want to do it yourself:

1. Placemat

If you don't like seeing nail paints all over your table, make sure to have a placemat or at least scratch paper before you start. Personally, I prefer scratch papers because you can simply crumple it with the rest of the cotton balls you used and throw it out.
​

2. Stamp

Choose rubber stamps that are transparent and aren't too curvey. It's easier to work with specially if you want to layer the same design but with different colors.

The first time I used mascara, I didn't have a good experience to a point that I would never want to use one again.

So what changed my mind?

Experiencing an Earthquake

8/18/2017

0 Comments

 

​Recently, Zambales was shaken by an intensity 4 earthquake. Ideally, you're suppose to duck, cover and hold until the earthquake stops before you start walking to the nearest exit. Then again, that's not exactly what happened.


So here's the deal after experiencing it for the first time:
​

1. Feeling the Earthquake

It's not like the bell ringing and waking you from a power nap. I'm awake when it happened but I didn't feel it until I stopped from what I'm doing. You may be too busy to care or you're just tired and dizzy but it pays to stop when you feel like the letters on the monitor are moving just to check.
​

2. Ringing the Bell

Hit the damn bell! It's not gonna ring on its own because the earth is moving. I'm aware that there are assigned personnel to do that but what if they're just as busy as we are and didn't notice? Should we sound the alarm ourselves? Honestly? No.

During the drill, the bell was the earthquake and we leave the building when it stops. In actual, the bell rang a few seconds after the earthquake and walked out of the building after it stopped. Now that's confusing. ​

The Office | Waiting Game

8/13/2017

Exams are over and I'm not nervous but neither am I confident. Honestly, I don't know what to feel about it. If I pass, it's a sign to stay. If I didn't then maybe it's a sign to rest from work for a bit and focus on my review without phone calls and movies and all the stuffs I did in between.
​
I have a good paying permanent job that now requires me to get a Masters Degree and I'll lose that job if I don't get to finish it within the given time frame, that's until September of this year. ​
​The others who are in probation like I am are transferring in our college to graduate, no offense, but I don't want to do that.
I don't want my bosses to be my professors. Seriously, who wants that?

​How can I openly write my paper and express my opinion base on my job if that includes scrutinizing and emphasizing their incompetencies and then presenting it to the whole class, people I'm working with, and my professor, my boss. I'm already feeling suffocated for working twelve hours, four times a week for the past three years of my life. I don't want to spend another day with them.

The Office | UP Compre Day 2

8/10/2017

Well, let's just say it's much better than the last time. We had Financial Management in the morning and I feel confident with my answer. Then again, it's the kind of subject that I'm pretty careless with so I'm a bit worried my answers would turn out wrong because of a missed detail.
​
Lunch break. This time, I actually tasted my food. I'm not worried with whatever question Operations Management would throw at me although I only finished three chapters of it.
​
Exam came and there were only three questions. It was mostly situational analysis. There's nothing exactly right or wrong with your answer. It's a matter of defending your decision with the support of related literature. Sounds easy but if you're not well read or your're not intricate in essay writing (like I am, unfortunately) it's worrisome.
