titles are hard to think of

Personal, Pictures, Work February 13th, 2008

Thought I’d just pop in and give everyone an update. I’ve been either reluctant or lazy to post anything, but right now I’m up to writing about what’s happening. Well not all of what’s going on, but some of the stuff I’m willing to blab on about. ;)

I had sort of found myself in a rut in the past month or two. It was due to a combination of things: the job situation, relationships, friendships, money, family, blah blah blah. I guess it all pretty much hinges on the job front though. I had been previously stoked about my interviews; however, I was hit by a flurry of rejections: “Sorry, we don’t have any positions for you at this time.” or “Someone was better qualified for the position.” It doesn’t feel great to hear that you aren’t up to their standards. And then that just kind of bowled me over into a slump where I hardly wanted to get anything accomplished. I felt like I had no self-worth, and that I can’t really move forward in my life without a new job. I hate pity-parties, so don’t feel sorry or whatever. It’s just how I’ve been feeling and nothing could have prevented it.

Yeah, so that made me really upset. All that doubt and depression combined with doing nothing in the house all day drove me kind of crazy. It’s good that I have some friends I could talk to, so that helped a little. But overall, I wasn’t really happy.

However, a couple days ago I had the fortune to fly down to Florida and help work at the storage business my family has down there. I’m really glad I’m here. It’s gotten me out of the house and somewhat busy. I feel recharged and enthusiastic about getting things accomplished. Also, while it’s raining some days, I had a chance to enjoy the beach a couple times… love that sun and sand. :D I’m not sure how long I’ll be here, but I’m glad for the change in my dreary routine.

Oh yeah, and as a side note, I had recently bought a scanner and scanned in a lot of photographs. Check em out here if you’re interested in seeing some random pics.

Also, I hear about all the cold and snowy weather back home… now I’m really glad I’m here. :lol:

Make It Happen

Personal, Pictures, Site Update January 3rd, 2008

New theme. It’s called dilectio and I got it from Smashing Magazine, a site I’ve been visiting for months now… it’s a great resource for web designers, so check it out if you’re into that sort of stuff.

Here’s something new I did recently: I went to a Wizards game! I’m not really a basketball fan by any means, but I thought it would be fun to go see a game with my brother. I actually had fun! We have season tickets… we usually don’t use them, but I’m thinking we should again soon. The Wizards aren’t by any means a great team (although I know absolutely nothing about any of the players or any other team for that matter), but they’re DC’s team and I gotta root for ‘em. I took a couple pictures, of course.

There’s also been plans being formulated recently concerning my job and immediate future. Nothing is actually set in stone, but I’m kind of excited about the prospect. I’ll post more about it as it develops.

Sunny Florida

Pictures, Travel, Work October 24th, 2007

I’m still in Merritt Island, Florida. I just thought I’d post something real quick to let everyone know what I’m up to.

  • Pretty much nothing. Just relaxing, being lazy, and just generally turning my brain off for as long as I can.
  • I’m taking phone calls from potential employers that found my resume. Unfortunately, I don’t have a computer at the house (right now I’m at a friends’) to do research and do proper preparation for my interviews, but oh well.
  • Our little pomeranian died the other day. My mom is pretty upset about it. She seemed fine, but she just stopped breathing and died. I’m still a little sad about it… She was still warm when I saw the little furball wrapped up in a towel. :(
  • Saw some dolphins in our backyard. I tried my best to take a picture of one grabbing a fish out of the water.
  • Saw a space shuttle launch at the JFK Space Center. It was pretty bitchin. And loud. And awesome. I’m glad I saw it. We know someone who works for NASA, so we got the hook up and were able to get into the hot spot to watch the launch.
  • The best part of Florida right now has to be just laying in the hammock at the pier at the back of the house. It’s still hot, but the shade and the constant breeze just make it perfect to lay about for hours on end.
  • I decided to stay another week here. My parents just left this morning, so I got the whole place to myself. ;)
  • I’m flying out to Chicago from here next week. Then after another week there with family, I’m looking to hang out with my friend in Vegas for a weekend… I am in no rush to come back to MD! lol

Yep. I got some pics up. So yep. That’s what I’ve been doing. I’m probably gonna go out and try out some of the bars by the beach later tonight… :D

Krispy

Gaming, Partying, Pictures, Travel October 17th, 2007

OK, so I got that Krispy song by Kia Shine stuck in my head. It’s cool though, cuz I’ve associated that song with NYC pretty much. I’ve added more pics, so check ‘em out if you’d like.

So, updates. Nothing new, really. Still looking vigorously for a new job. It gets tough when you have interviews then don’t hear anything from the employer after that. But I gotta keep plugging away. If worse comes to worse, I’ll have to go back to being a bank teller… :

I’ve started playing Final Fantasy XII finally. That game is actually fun. And I love the new battle system. It is just way more smooth to execute. And in terms of my favorite FF games of the series I’d say it’s right up there with VII and X. Tactics is my favorite of them all though, and it just got released on the PSP. I just got that, too, and it is just as awesome as when I played it on the PS1. The music and story just make it one of the most memorable games I’ve ever enjoyed. So yeah, with no work, I’ve been spending a lot of time playing video games for a change.

I’m actually leaving tomorrow for Florida. I’m taking the PS3 and PSP along to keep myself occupied when I’m not busy seeing the sites and what not. Looking forward to the nice, warm beach down there. ^_^

Also, my cousin recently asked me to be part of a dance routine for the Philippine American Association of Delaware (PAAD). I am reluctant. I have no coordination for a choreographed dance. lol. Only perk being that a girl I had a crush on will be involved. hahaha. Now what kind of dance are we talking about? Well, there’s going to be tinikling, of course, but she says she going to take a large part of the moves from this:

Yeah, baby! Lookit them dancing Filipinos! They’ve got some sick moves. LOL. So I am undecided on that. I don’t know if I’ll have the time to dedicate to practice actually. I’m in the midst of deciding whether or not to pursue my trip across the country. After Florida, I am more than likely taking a plane from there to Chicago. From Chicago, either NYC or California. Gotta hear back from some people first. We shall see.
