I've been so wanting to take a break this weekend.
Lo and behold, the Power-that-be called me in again and asked me to make his preso over the weekend. Thing is, we're both presenting at a mobile event next week. So that actually doubles up what I have to do.
2 presos for a mobile event and 1 strategy preso for my team.
There goes my weekend.
I'm a presentation factory all over again.
I'm willing to take the hit since I'm going back to Manila on the 22nd.
And I'm sooooo looking forward to it.
So bring all the presos on! Samantalahin na dahil magbabakasyon talaga ako!
Unlike Manila, Christmas carols in Jakarta only start to play in malls by first of December. I heard the first Christmas carols last night when I was shopping for some cosmetics and Christmas gifts for friends.
I miss the Christmas spirit in Manila that starts as the 'ber months come in. Being in a Muslim country made me miss it all the more --- considering I'm really not a Christmas person. My Christmas loot came in very early, though. Finally, I got my most favorite gadget-toy. 6 months ko ng pinag-iinitan. My much-coveted precious is finally mine!!!
Thank you, Mr. R. Claus. =)
I'm loving it. I haven't jailbroken it, though, and I'm not sure if I wanna do that. I don't mind paying the premium for the apps that I like. Besides, there are a lot of free cool apps, too. I've got 2 pages of apps already and most of them are free.
Already finished Plants versus Zombies in my computer last year but the game is so addicting --- I actually purchased it for my iPad. At 5 dollars a pop. Hahaha. Okay lang. Masaya naman.
Random thought: I can't wait to go home for the holidays. I miss Manila. I miss my friends. I miss December in my hometown.
Universe, align with me. Let this December rock. Totally!
Bag lady. I have quite an extensive collection of Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags. Aside from the two, I don’t have a fixation on other brands. But you can also find some Prada, Tod's and the oh-so-chic Anteprima inside my cabinet. I dream of owning at least 3 Chanels and an Hermes bag.
Notebooks. Perhaps because of my predilection towards being a nerd, I also have a collection of notebooks. All colors, shapes, sizes coming from different countries. When I find an interesting print, I buy it. I love Jordi Labanda notebooks! If you wanna make me happy, get me a uniquely printed notebook. =)
Shopping. I burn money shopping for clothes, bags and other trinkets that I don’t even need. It’s my way of de-stressing. Shopping is my drug - my very effective happy pill.
Beyond Superficial
Still a BIG BAD Bitch. Can I be one yet still have a good heart? Then I’d like to call it contextual bitching. I can be feisty. But I can be super nice. I’m not judgmental (I may seem to be for those who don’t know me), but I’m highly opinionated. I know the value of agreeing to disagree.
Knows how to party and how to throw a good one. I have an army of friends who will protect and defend me. Conversely, they know I’d do the same thing. Hard worker. Miracle worker, even. Focused. Disciplined.
High maintenance – only if you don’t know how to!
Eccentric. Eclectic. Has a consistent fascination with the bold, brave and the beautiful. Considers intellectual stimulation and animated conversations better than sex.
Loves
My Grandmother and my Mom. Rico. Ninay. My bestfriends. Team myGlobe. Self reinvention. The beach. Water sports. Shoes. Bags. Red wine – Wolfblass, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Louis Vuitton. Gucci – everything Gucci. Shopping. Travel. Hong Kong and Japan fashion sense. Thai food. Long drives. Warm embraces and sweet nothings in the morning. Books. Writing. I love yous. Romance. Honesty.

Hates
Emotional blackmail. Vested interests masquerading as generosity. The Me, Myself and I complex. Pessimism. Self-inflicted pain. Blame. When some people only see others’ faults and not their own. Doormats. Lies. Arrogance. Infidelity. Pseudo-listening. Traffic. Predictability.
