Busy Bee

The best excuse I can come up with for not posting here is I'm busy... at least for the last week. Well, aside from that, my life is just a combo of school-home-school-home routine.

I started my faux-internship last February 13 and so far it's going good. The commute from home is almost two hours including the train ride which can be a little exhausting. Plus an additional half-a-kilometer walk to the office. I'm not complaining though because I like the work that is assigned on me: designing the company's web site. I can say "I love my job." And it got me to thinking about starting a web shop online *wink, wink.*

School has gone rad. We have lots of projects to do and it's almost March. Which means just a month before vacation. Exactly how are we going to squeeze in everything within a month? Clueless here.

My Manhattan

Like most, New York is one of my dream cities. To be exact, it's Manhattan that's got me. Add those skyscrapers, car honks, malls, and Central Park. Then the people who are always walking with a purpose. Briskly walking like whatever work's awaiting them is very important, no time shall be wasted. And of course, fashion. It seems like no one's ever overdressed as long as you can carry it.

That place was like some years away from me. I know I'll be there someday but when? It was never clear. Until the need to find an internship hit me, I found my temporary Manhattan.

Makati is like what NYC could be. The buildings and the  busy people. The subways and the Ayala Triangle. The malls and clothes. It has the blueprint of the Big Apple. And for the first time in my life in a new city, I feel like I belong.

" The city was no longer a fantasy, it was real. And I knew now I wasn't searching for someone or somebody here. I was searching for me. Who I was. Who I wanted to be. Finding my voice wasn't going to be easy. But for the first time, in a long time, I thought it might be fun."

Hello

I used to tell myself I'll  begin really living my life at twenty. Well, I'm finally on that age.

So, no more stalling, procrastinating or whatever. It's time to make something out of myself and take things seriously. I'm a big girl now :)
