For quite some time, I had been enjoying reading Risha's and Mumty's blogs as they share their daily experiences. Their blogs make me feel asif we were still in college and know everything about each other. but then I realized that I'm not the ma-kwento type in my own blog. I don't really put in much details to share exactly what's happening to me. Maybe it's time to make some effort to tell as much as I can since I have the time and resources this loooong weekend.
"THE SUMMER SKIRT"
The last time I went shopping with Taz, I dropped by the landmark to buy a cutie summer skirt. It was a carnation pink slightly-below-the-knee a-line skirt with large white and light pink flowers. Perfect for a white 3/4 top... my self-declared office uniform. It's been weeks since I bought that, but I was able to resist wearing it until the last day of work before the much awaited Holy Week vacation. As expected, it got the attention of several people. That's actually my problem in dressing up for work. I don't wear fancy girly skirt, specially those with prints coz there were several people who would really react to my get up. Although the comments are always positive... like those boys like me dress up in girly attire... but I really hate gatting attention. So oftentimes, I would just stick to my basic black, grey, beige, white or denim skirts that I can keep on wearing without people noticing me. I wanna dress nicely for myself but I hate getting attention. Sometimes I wonder if that's possible.
"IT'S MEANT TO BE"
I'm not sure if I wrote something like this before,... but these thoughts had been circulating in my head for days.
When I was in high school, I was so busy that I really don't have much time to think of what course to get for college. I just eliminated everything I don't wanna take and.... walah! I ended up in UP College of Architecture. I entered the college without goals or whatsoever, but I enjoyed it and finally made it! So I guess it's meant to be that I graduate with flying colors in that course.
As a college student, I used to hate hospital architecture. They're boring. Everything is standardized. It so happened that my first job was in a firm specializing in healthcare planning. My impression about hospitals was reconfirmed. Once I witnessed those guys over there just copying and pasting schedule of doors and windows. One guy even explained to me that there's not much to stuff to play around with hospitals, so they can re-use their old files. Last June, I entered a firm known for anything but hospital. From Day 1 'til now, I was assigned to that big big hospital. My baby project too is the hospital, but the renovation of the old one. My involvement in hospitals is soooooo unplanned and unthinkable about a year from now. So I guess it's meant to be. Sometimes I wonder if I would end up as a hospital building administrator one day. Not a healthcare planner.... pleeeez.... I was never inspired by healthcare planners I've worked with. For this portion, details are quite confidential. Maybe I can share everything once the big project is done... and that's about year 2008.
Friends, you can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that my unplanned way of moving on with my "career" is applicable in my "future" love life, if any. As my dear sis told me, the right guy, if any, will come to me even of I lock myself inside the house forever, if it's really meant to be. Her examples are our very own older sisters. My eldest sister was working in our office, some place wherein she cannot really meet cool guys. For a time, there was a water crisis under the Aquino administration, and so my brother-in-law was the one sent by his company to purchase water containers. So there he met my sister and started writing his love letters in YELLOW PAD...Baduy. But now he's really cool and realized what a crazy thing he did. It's meant to be. My second sister got married at a late age. It all started through this Chinese culture of "introduction". All of us thought she'll never get married coz she's always stuck in the office and never goes out with friends. Then one time, this guy named Ernesto was introduced to her. But he's not the guy. His younger brother Marcelo tagged along one day and he was the one who ended up as my brother-in-law. Now, that's meant to be. So I guess no efforts are needed in search for the right guy. Enjoyment of singlehood would be a practical lifestyle for now.

joyce, (1) about the skirts, the hell with what people think? i took me ages before i started wearing spaghetti straps (which was college) and ngayon, more or less comfy na ako. change brings about attention, but they get used to it. becomes passe. then move on. hehe. (2) about "meant to be", i'm quite surprised you brought this up when taz and i have been the mshier among the three of us. hehe. but yes, you're bound to meet someone even if you're a homebody. maybe while you're gassing up your car, buying takeout at mcdo, etc. cheers!
