1. It's 4:03 in the morning. I can't sleep. I suddenly opened my tumblr account and decided to post something. It's been years since I posted something here. Hello tumblr!
2. I'm 27 years olds now, hence the 27 life updates title. Hahah! Over the past few years a lot of things happened which made me busy and drifted away from blogging.
3. I graduated college last 2014. I almost bagged a Cum laude title but I got a 2.50 grade in one of my freshmen year subject. Well I still graduated!
4. I pursued a career in Fashion Retail and not in Hospitality. Haha! But before that I tried a career in BPO but wasn't happy about it so I left after a month. Became jobless for about 6 months before I landed a job in an apparel brand. AEO!
5. I loved my job! I learned a lot. I met a lot of people. Work with different people. Challenging but rewarding. I got regular in less than 6 months, then got promoted a year later.
6. Ex contact me one day. We tried rekindling the romance but ex didn't feel the same anymore. Sad. But that's life.
7. Being a young manager is exhausting. Too much responsibility. Too much pressure. Lots of work. I got busy and lost touch with some of my friends. I missed a lot of get togethers.
8. I got burned out. I decided to leave. Decided to enroll for MBA. But then again, I pursued something else.
9. Yep! I'm going abroad. I have never imagine becoming an OFW, and yet here I am. Haha. UAE here I come!
10. Home sickness is real! Damn! I thought I won't get affected by it since I am used being away and not seeing my family. But this one is different. The thought of being miles miles miles away from your family and friends and you can't go home anytime you want is scary and lonely. Suffered it for almost 6 months.
11. Work condition here is way better than my previous one back home. Everything is just chill. Simple and fast. But my workmates are all challenging. Almost perfect na sana!
12. Random! I finally learned how to buy gold in gold souq. And by buying means making tawad-tawad to kuyang indiano. Hahah! Hard bargaining ang kailangan! Mama this is for you!
13. Met a lot of people and races. Experienced different kinds of culture. Heard a lot of different stories. Misconceptions and stereotypes of one nationality to another nationality. Some are offensive but mostly are funny. Haha!
14. Discrimination is real. And it's not only in the color of skin. The way some nationalities are given limited job opportunities compare to other nationalities. Or the amount of salary being offered to a particular nationality over the other nationalities. It's sad.
15. Experienced hard life first hand. Being an OFW is really hard! Your values and principles will be tested.
16. Learned different cultures and religion. I learned things about Islam, such a great religion.
17. Had my own place. It's little but it's nice. I bought my own things. Paid my own bills and food and everything. Lakas makaadult lang! Haha
18. On my second year at work I went home for vacation. Then I travelled to singapore alone as gift to myself for my hardwork over the past few years. Super fun. Met some old friends back from college din. I should travel more!
19. I'm still into photography. And on my 26th birthday I bought my first ever DSLR! Haha!
20. Faye and kath are still my main hommies. I love you girls! JAPAN 2022 wohooo!
21. I developed a hobby of collecting perfumes! In less than a year I get to collect 15 perfumes and I'm planning to buy more. Haha
22. COVID-19 became a pandemic. This sucks!
23. Was on forced leave for about 4 months now because of the pandemic. A lot has change this year. Lots of my plans got delayed or I have to change.
24. Thank God my family and friends are all COVID negative. Health is wealth talaga sa panahon ngayon.
25. I'm planning to resign and just go back home. I miss my family and friends.
26. I dont have lovelife. Hahah! Not really bothered. I'm actually more bothered on the thought that I am not bothered at all. Ohh!
27. I'm 27 years old and I still haven't figured out what I really want. But I know everything is okay or will be okay. Haha!
