Childhood- it's realness!
My god daughter who is 8 years old was with us last night while attending a party for one of our friend celebrating his birthday. We were served with red wine in tall glasses. So being curious she'd like to taste the drink. And her mom, my bestfriend said go ahead. A guest who was on our table said that it's okay in italy they encouraged their kids to drink wine even at a young age but he said in America it's illegal for you to give your kids alcohol if they're young. But this guest encourage her and said honahead it's made from
Grapes anyway..
So when Yuri my goddaughter took a sip she said, I don't get why you adults like the taste of wine, it taste awful! And I said you'll get used to it when you became an adult it's an acquired taste.. (in my mind I was formulating a joke - but of course I didn't say it to her- it's very much like your Tita- I'm like an acquired taste- you may not like at first but your gonna look for it eventually! Lol!)
My god daughter is so adorable though.. she learned how to use Snapchat lately and she uses it like a pro!!! Bless her

Coldplay in my Universe
I've finally listen to Coldplay today from my Spotify. Ever since the past weeks when I was not able to get a ticket for the upcoming concert here in the Philippines next year April 4, 2017, Im sort of feeling unhappy every time I hear their song.And not for lack of trying but I was just late or unlucky. I tried to book on the first day for the globe employees exclusive but 5 mins it's already sold out I have friends wanting me to reserve for them the gold and platinum tickets but I can't even get GA ticket ( the idea was that we just buy a GA ticket then get upgraded by then because we know people from security since the company is the presentor) ... I waited for another week to text for the regular sale of the tickets and as usual I did not get the ticket by reservation . Then on the regular sale I tried to line up in SM ticket outlet but still it's sold out. Long story short it was crazy!
I
Days before the official announcement I already have an inkling because I'm following them in Twitter. Curiously, I posted that I added to my bucket list is to go to a Coldplay concert. I was already imagining my self shedding tears as I listen to Chris Martin sing Yellow or Fix you... I can relate to Maine Mendoza crying while watching the concert ( she even went to LA last October to see the guys) well yes I have that fan mentality in me...not really groupie level but I appreciate their music. I don't even know all the band members except for Chris Martin because he's kinda mainstream having married Gwyneth Paltrow and dated Jennifer Lawrence. But Coldplay concerts are quite experiential production wise, with all the beautiful lights that changes with the music, ( pop culture aficionado here). And fans loved him because in spite of his individual fame he would always introduce himself as Chris Martin of Coldplay.. so anyway I called the bestfriend that I didn't get the ticket and she said it's fine. Like I wanna cry and I was hoping a little sympathy but she was like no big deal. Then I remember how much she wanted to watch Chainsmokers concert before and maybe I've not given her the same support. lol! So maybe that was how she felt as well... I even entertained the thought of actually going to Singapore because they say it's less expensive there ( there was one netizen who computed the cost including airfare ) or Japan. There was this guy I was talking to who's based in Thailand and I ask him if he wanted to watch the concert and when he said not interested in going because he said there's going to be lots of teenagers watching. So he just lost boyfriend material point.haha! I called people from the mall selling ticket and a ray of hope came to me when I finally called the head of security asking him if he could maybe let us in by that time and he said as long as we are the ones handling security details of the concert by then it's no problem.. it's next year anyway...plus there's a lot of other countries in Asia with schedules that month...My bestfriend suggested lately the one in Taipei..
Lately, we've been going out of town for our sales blitzes, like we would go to police and army camps, Guimaras islands and I always see beautiful nature scenery. And when I get a glimpse it always made me realize how minute our existence in the vast universe and maybe the creator of that awe inspiring scene. We are somehow insignificant to the universe, I told myself - your worries and problems more so...I'm so ashamed...

Self made
Tonight I went out not on a date but an office thing but I've never felt self conscious and a little bit harassed not necessarily physically but a little emotionally . So I went out with an older, powerful friendly customer of our store ( I work for a Telecom) because I'd like to maintain PR and maybe leverage and my thought was that I wasn't going out with him alone. And we consider him our friend. I will be with my officemate although they are coming a bit later. For the 3rd time I have ride with him and so far he was a gentleman. And he's got this really nice muscled car. He's lifestyle is kinda aspirational. Until he teased me that he's going to pick me up as long as I give him a kiss. I never mind that because of course I know he was just kidding. And of course I would never give in.
The night went well until when he introduced me to a friend of his who happened to be the singer of the band that night in the restaurant owned by an officemate. He said this is "my darling". And of course I try to just laugh it off and said something like . Don't say that he might believe you. But deep inside I was squirming. And he's also has haptic that makes me uncomfortable sitting beside him. Plus I Know some people in that restaurant and he also knows a lot of people in our city.
I mean I'm not a prude or malicious I have friends who are older but they are very respectful. They may have their naughty sides but they know I'm off limits because I'm their friend. But this guy was really hitting on me. I mean it's okay that he's old but he's married and with kids. I don't mind going out with older guys ( some of them are really hot and cultured and loaded) hello George Clooney . Even George Clooney married someone matured and relevant when he used to date models and it girls.
So I was texting and calling my workmates to come already so I am not so alone with him in that very public restaurant. I kind of feeling self conscious because our place is a small city and I work in a very familiar office. My office mates have to finish the month end reports so they came really late.
And finally I wasn't alone with him and his friends To be fair, he's really giving and treats everyone. He pays for everything and invites us every chance he got. He gives lunch to bunch of people in the office.
He even gives us bottles of expensive whiskey and wine and he would usually reserve a bottle for me to take home. I mean money is not an object to him. When most of my officemate are unable to reach their monthly target on sales they would rely to him to buy our expensive digital connectors (but I don't really plan on becoming a sugar baby)
It's not ironic when I am wearing a shirt I am selling with the word; self made emblazoned ( labels and text are all the Rage nowadays) because I want to promote independence and self sufficiency... because as the word of Ronda Rousey we are not DNB ( do nothing bitches s).

About today
I like today... even if I did lots of household chores. My Mother and I was able to spend time together. We went to have facials together and had dinner at this new resto in our city. The thought running through my head while listening to the throwback music was that these bring so much feels like it brings back teenage memories. The times when you go thru heartaches like you felt you've never survived it but you did... and now, you say to yourself - if I knew then what I knew now...lol
muelle restaurant and deli
I am like every girl who has a full shopping cart at net a porter but never buys them.. like on line shopping and wishing them to be yours is actually a therapy..( but this one is a real deal; pre loved yet still lovable) were having a 90s theme for the office Xmas party and this creeper is a 90s staple! Where is that slip dress!
This is where we had dinner.. pretty special because Mother recently celebrated her birthday and I was planning for us to go out and have dinner but she opened to have a mini celebration at home for our friends and relatives..
On a tangent I also scored some shopping and got this Prada brogues at a price that won't let you cry...
Temp
The past 2 days which was my day off became chore days - I have to clean the house and prepare my uniform which normally done by my helper. I guess this has been the advantage of living with your folks because they have a household help. So I remember doing stuff like these when I was living on my own. I know that I am independent and knows my way in being domesticated. But sometimes it's nice to relax after a day's work and not have to think about chores and errands. So this happened because - last week I was knocking at our door and my dog, Dolce was he's usual self bubbly and was looking at the window anticipating my opening of the door. But that night it was locked so I called on our helpers name. after several tries I just waited thingking she must already fallen asleep although I know it was not too late . We live in a compound with our relatives so my aunt in the other door heard my knocking and calling on the name of Anne our school girl. So she opened her door and told me Anne left today. I was in disbelief and first reaction was of course denial. I wanted to believe that maybe she just went home for the weekend to her parents home. But deep inside I know she's not coming back. Her relationship with my parents has been a little strained lately with my Father especially. He was kind of demanding and a perfectionist and she was a teenager, she's 19.
It's always bittersweet every time a helper leaves (house help) like all the others this one leaves me upset more than the last one. For one, she is still very young, and in school and I was at least rooting for her to finish senior high school. I guess people are always temporary in our lives and they somehow leaves a mark whether it's a significant one or otherwise. I've treated her not as a maid but like a part of our family, bringing her to family dinners, out of town trips. She was even enrolled to a private school as an athlete. She was more of a school girl than a maid, she goes to school everyday and wash my clothes during the weekend. My feeling bad is more for her that she did not appreciate the fact that she's in school and did not value that. And I was wishing that whatever her plans may she still think of ways to improve her life and that of her family. Also it's hard to look for a helper nowadays most of them wanted to go to Manila or even abroad. We can't blame them. So Anne I learned later was indeed going to Manila. Somebody sent her a ticket for the Roro and maybe promised her a job. I texted her telling her that her mother called to ask where she is but she has not responded yet. I just really hope she's okay and that whoever is helping her treats her well. And that while she's away she learns. Kids nowadays are truly more daring and adventurous. I had my first travel alone to Manila when I was in first year college to have my summer class in UP Diliman.
I was already learning independence as I was staying in a dorm but those Manila days where one of my best teenage memories. I learned how to ride the bus and the trains, I even visited my friends and relatives even that time we have to communicate thru landline only and no SMS.
So my wish for Anne is that she learns from her experiences and that she won't give up on her ambitions and goals if any..she maybe driven by her bad decisions but hopefully she'll still succeed. I could only imagine her mothers fears and worry but maybe she knows she's a stubborn and free willed girl. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
That's Dolce our dog and playtime with my nieces, A & A...
