Update For Update's Sake

Let's start with last Thursday...

That was the day I got my first real pay. Haha! It wasn't much and the job was absolutely tiring but the feeling it left us was priceless and very fulfilling. Nothing beats the feeling of a job well done. En and I were hired as photogs by a former HS classmate of mine at Diliman (Prep School) for their project in school. We arrived at their uni that day feeling nervous (I dunno about En, but that's what I felt) 'coz I don't really consider myself a professional when it comes to that (after all, I'm still learning) but the fact that Karen, our client, (naks!) trusted us was enough to make the jitters all go away.

Even though that day was very long and tiring, clicking away with our cameras and hearing the students ask us for advice in "posing" saying: "Ate patulong naman kung anong pose oh.", made me feel giddy inside. They made me feel like I was in control of the situation which in turn made me THINK that I was indeed in control of it. Haha! Though to be completely honest, when they asked for my help, I wanted to laugh and answer them: "ako pa tinanong nyo tungkol dyan eh I suck at modeling din!" Haha!

After 3 or 4 hours of shooting the girls and boys (uh...that sounded wrong haha) and calling it a day, En and I felt our knees quiver and shake due to kneeling, standing up, crouching and basically just being all over the place! Haha! But y'know what, I didn't mind it. The experience was definitely something that I savored. It was fun while it lasted. Hey, it was a memorable first for me. Haha!

BTS photos from that day:

2 nights ago...

"She'd loved only two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and feel nothing."
So two nights ago before I went to sleep, I pulled a Summer (of 500 Days of Summer) by chopping 5 inches off my long locks in a snap! Haha! I'm not sure what got into me that night and I did it. Now, I'm just waiting for regret to wash over me. The ends of my hair were just too dry and fried that I badly wanted to do something with it. I'm planning to have it fixed in the salon soon but right now I'm enjoying it being bluntly cut. Haha!

P.S. 'Tis my 1ooth post! Yey! :)

An update for update's sake. :)

Primary Colors

Last Friday, I was at Trinoma (yet again) to meet up with my high school friends! Terribly missed these girls 'coz the last time we went out was December last year! And just like the "Wear Your Tights Day" blog entry that I posted here, my HS barkada and I unintentionally dressed up with a theme which was "primary colors"! Only noticed it while I was editing the photos. Our outfits had blue and yellow in it while Debbie was wearing red! Haha I just think it's so cute that my friends and I are brain sistahs!
Finally got my hands on a copy of Room! I'd been eyeing this piece of lit since forever, not that it was pricey (it's only P315), but I just didn't want to shell out money for it 'coz my mom and I have this agreement that she's my financier for books. And since we were still not talking (we had a squabble), I had no choice but to buy it myself. Haha! (Masama pa loob eh noh?) I'm actually almost done reading it and sad to say, it's not as exciting as I thought it'd be. Oh well, at least I'm over obsessing about it and I can now move on to another book! Here I go again with my obsession on bookshopping. It's just like being addicted to shopping for clothes, once you shop, you can't stop (haha that rhymed)! Last night, I was browsing through goodreads.com and I was able to come up with a VERY long list of books to buy/read! Gaddemnit I need more moolah!

Overall, t'was a lovely day for a nice chat over cold frappes, shoe-shopping (Ara bought the sexiest nude pumps!), bookstore-hopping, and just laughing the day away with the my closest gal pals.
