Hipster Party.

I was pretty sure the party we planned was supposed to be an Alice in Wonderland inspired tea party but the set up last night in Jettka’s  terrace was far from a tea party. Nobody even brought tea. There was a teepee in the center and lots of finger foods and wine and other drinks. No tea.

But hey, i think what i saw when i got there was even better! The set up is so hipster and we’ve never done a party like this before so yey! :) I didn’t help with the preparations and the decorations and all because i was at work but my friends are talented creatures so  i trust them. And as usual they didn’t disappoint me. 

We danced to hipster music and there was something uncooly-cool about it. There was lots and lots of food and lots and lots of drinks and i know my stomach’s going to revolt (it did the next morning and i feel sorry for our toilet) but it was fun being with my friends and working outside the city and the stress of it and my other personal problems belong in another world.

And here we are the morning after looking ugly and wasted due to lack of sleep. Nobody got drunk, though. We finished 3 bottles of wine with the occasional complaints that it doesn’t taste good, it’s their turn to drink again (we drank wine in shots and it’s weird thinking about it now O_O), that wine tastes like rotten grapes crushed by foot of an old man with foot diseases, etc.

And we shared ghost stories and i have nothing to contribute because i don’t have any supernatural experiences that didn’t occur in my imagination. 

Around 4 or 5pm everyone dozed off at last.

and yup, i slept in the pool because yeah, i’m a mermaid like that.

Camille’s going back to the states tomorrow and we’re sad because we won’t see her for another year. And also, there’s work again on Monday so i’m going back to MacArthur Leyte tomorrow afternoon and i can only see my friends when i go home on the weekends and i find that sad. Lyndon’t going to Manila on Thursday and will be gone for 6 months because he’s reviewing for his civil engineering board exam. So yeah, my friends and i are kind of going our separate ways now because it’s kind of a consequence of growing up and it sucks. :/ 

My Rural Adventure.

So what can i say about my first 2 days of work in MacArthur, Leyte?

Awful but awesome at the same time.

I said awesome because the company seems pretty great so far and awful because our living condition is pretty much something i’ve never experienced before. Yes, our boss provided Marianne, Joy and i a place to live and it’s a nipa hut and it’s actually kind of a nice hut only we don’t have electricity and it’s hotter than hell at night when we’re trying to get to sleep. And the mosquitoes trying to suck our blood aren’t giving us comfort, either. And we only use an oil lamp and to quote one of my favorite books, the night is dark and full of terrors T_____T It’s very dark at night because the street lamps are far from our hut and we’re afraid of going out to our bathroom which is located at the back of the hut because it’s very dark and we’re surrounded with trees. I’m not going to deny i’m not afraid of supernatural creatures but i guess i’m more worried someone might rape and murder us in our sleep. You have to admit that’s very scary.

Three city girls going on a rural adventure. What could go wrong, right? Well, a lot, actually.

But the people there are nice to us. The office staff had been very welcoming, and the salary is better than fresh graduates can find in the city. I just find adjusting there pretty hard because i’ve lived in the city all my life and so living there 5 days a week is quite a challenge. No electricity, no internet, no mall or fast food chains, no family. And it’s sad that i can’t watch my TV series. I can’t even waste my phone battery because we can only charge our phones at the office. We’re asleep already by 8 or 9pm because there’s nothing to do in the darkness of our hut. It’s depressing but Marianne and Joy are cool about it and i don’t want to seem like a brat so i laugh along with them. It’s really funny and i hope i get used to it already.

I’m home right now and i’ve missed the internet so much and i was only at MacArthur for 3days. I partied with friends last night, too, and it was so much fun. It’s nice to be back although i have to return to MacArthur tomorrow because work again on Monday. Ugh

But i can do this. I know i can.

scootyshabooty:

I just sit here sometimes like

wow

sexism is still a thing

the fact that sexism was ever a thing

it just

it’s beyond me

a woman pushes you out of her fucking BODY

and you grow up to be like ‘ahahaha women r stupid and weak’

i don’t get how that happens

i’m done packing. I’m just waiting for a few wet clothes to dry up and i’m ready. Actually, i only have to pack 2 or 3 sets of clothes because i’ll be going home on Friday evening, anyway. My friends are having a party on that night with our usual weird motif and yeah, i can’t miss that. I’d surely cry looking at their fun photos. And i am not used to being absent on our fun occasions yet, unlike Moshi who’s in Cebu and Camille who’s in US (but she’s in the country right now) and Jan Thomas who’s working in Manila.

And it’s not like McArthur, Leyte is so far away. It’s only what, 2 hours travel by bus? But i’ve lived in the city since forever and it’s hard to part with my friends and family and my stuff at home even though i’ll be going home come weekends. *sigh

And it’s not like i’m hired for that job already. Well, i kind of am. The position’s already mine (i was invited for that position and we’ve talked about it over a cup of coffee and everything) but i can’t help being paranoid like what if they don’t want me in the company, after all? What if they get disappointed because i’m actually a stupid person? I was supposed to start last week but i requested i’ll start this week and what if they hired somebody else already? what if blah blah blah. So i’m walking in this coming Thursday to demand for the job promised to me. My resume, bio-data and birth certificate are tucked safely in my bag already. Joy told me there’s still an interview but something like for formality purposes only. I don’t know. I feel like i am not ready yet. I feel like something’s wrong but i don’t know what it is.

If i don’t get hired, what now? T__T

Anyway, Joy said there’s no work tomorrow because it’s fiesta there or whatever and we’re going to go shopping for decorations and stuff for our little house in McArthur tomorrow. Joy, Marianne and i are going to be roomies! We’re going to buy linoleum for the floor and a mirror and curtains and i don’t know what else. It’s going to be fun, i think. :)

And yeah, it’s a job in a mining company it McArthur, Leyte. I’m not going to be a miner, though O_O it’s an office job.
