week 15: surprisingly pleasant

seriously, i thought the past week would suck. but surprisingly and to my delight, it was okay. i survived. it survived. we survived. finally, things are starting to go my way. little by little does the trick ☺

rest day i actually used for rest ☺ finished reading helen fisher's why we love and then proceeded with my movie marathon mondays- the chaperone, out-of-towners and morning glory. then continued with my dexter season 2 marathon. must find ways to become landlady of leisure quick!

supplies shopping at makati. so i can save on cab fare, i took the fx going to ayala then took a cab going to supplier then back to glorietta. still it cost me 150. next time i have to plan these trips to really save on fare/gas money. anyhoo, went to glorietta to meet with AD who will buy me my balato. but first, had my lunch at food choices. nagpakiyeme pa ako ng unti- bought mary grace cheese roll and lemonade from potato corner. nabitin ako sa cheese roll. parang panis na ang lemonade. so i bought chicken wings from slammer burgers and apple-flavored iced tea. solve. should've been more honest with myself from the start. haha. after lunch (at 3pm), AD took me to the newly-opened forever 21 in sm makati. i'm not really an f21 fan and i do not go ballistic over cute clothes like other girls do, but i do understand. in the end, got myself a sleeveless floral  top with crochet detail at the back. my first forever 21 purchase. milestone, woohoo! over.
from makati, we went to cubao. thrifted two blouses. i ♥ juxtapose. and to cap off our day, a burger and nacho salad at mama chit's.

can't remember what happened. watched dexter, perhaps? can't even remember if i went to the shop.

at the shop. yay! a quick "seminar" on customer service. basic customer service not so basic and common sense not so common. or baka tamad lang talaga? ewan.
ocular on a prospective location of new shop. i agree we need to expand. i need to expand. this park is too small for me already. and with the proliferation of shops like mine? seriously, people? go fug yourselves. ha! anyway, i am still unsure. do or do not? hmm... higher risks, higher returns. do i risk it?

concocting orders and supplies inventory in rome. seems like we're on a roll these days and i am praying that it won't stop. just keep 'em coming, Lord. being a one-man production line is really my thing ;) although AD said i should learn how to delegate things. yung mayayaman daw magaling mag-delegate. but but but i'm such an oc perfectionist who wants everything done correctly but am very impatient to teach people again and again. if i've shown you how to do it, i think that's enough to do it right. if not sure, ask questions. effin' mediocrity. or maybe these people are just plain lazy. DO. IT. BETTER.

día del libro. no more classes actually. just went to ic for the día del libro. volunteered to help in lourdes' booth but i wasn't much of a help and i think it wasn't needed anyway. was able to buy two comics en español- snoopy and mafalda. sorry naman at hanggang ngayon yan pa rin ang level ko. waited for a 2-volume dictionary but since i had to go and meet with ycel at 2, left sans dictionary in hand. but my classmate got me one. yay! sabi nila steal na daw yun at P500 at wish ko lang ay gamitin ko siya.
lunch with joji at chicken bacolod inasal. it was okay though i think mang inasal is better. mang inasal is more barbecue-y at hindi ko masyado gusto ang maasim-asim na timpla. but they said inasal is supposed to be maasim-asim.
rp with ycel. gallivanted around the mall for hours. looked for leggings made of smooth, shiny material na walang garter daw. peace! haha. when we got tired from walking, merienda at starbucks and still i kept my penitensya and just had caramel macchiato. i thought additional choco/caramel drizzle is free? strolled for a while, killed time while waiting for the main event...
left rp at 5:30 and made our way to cubao via lrt/lrt. epic concert that was. the script was amazing. awesome. still under the spell.

a new person-of-interest. impeccable timing, i must say. although he looks a bit like an owl. and i just adore owls right now which explains why i crush him. had a blast with ycel and our seatmates. hahahahaha
arrived home 11:30pm. past my curfew. no worries though because i already left home as a pumpkin.

no lunch-out. pero may merienda-out. at nasunod ang gusto ko- stuffed crust at pizza hut. whoopeedoo! i'm a happy bunny ☺ then strawberry banana for dessert. life and its little pleasures.

things are looking up. thank God. i hope that things will continue being this way from now on.
