So I let a little over 4 months slide without making a new blog entry. What the f*ck happened? What was I up to? Who was I wearing? What did I eat last Tuesday? - all things I'm sure you're all interested in learning for your own personal enjoyment. I'm back on track now and as a "filler" to the past 4 months, I thought I'd give you a little bit of a rundown to get you back on track:
- So I moved into my own loft in downtown LA. 1200 sq.ft. of concrete, high-walled goodness to run around in my knickers and dance like Britney Spears. I moved in (without a job lined-up mind you) thinking that it would all work out, that things were going to fall into place for me, that this whole recession thing was a ghost-passing and that all would be well...boy was I utterly and completely wrong. I gave myself until the end of February for things to start "working" for me. February comes around and I am still jobless. What the FUCK!? Who the fuck?! Makes me so mad!
- The holidays weren't as bad as most would think. It just insures that in all your losses, the true riches are enjoyed with family, friends and love (all that new-age babble you're probably tired of hearing about on morning shows and the 11 o'clock news).
- New Years Eve turned out to be a bust aside from the pink-eye and 102 degree fever I had. Great! I'd be starting off the new year with crusty, mucous-y eyes! How could I begin to see a positive year without clean eyes?!?! Luckily, homeopathic remedies quickly cured it entirely and I was good to go by the end of the second week of the new year.
- Valentine's Day was a downer - aside from a lovely meal with another one of my single best friends. I now truly, immensely detest Valentine's Day. "Loaf Day" was a great replacement.
- My 30th Birthday finally came and after a week of celebratory fair, finally went. I felt good. I felt lived. I felt nothing could stop me now...and it hasn't.
- My daily routine follows consistency. I wake up at 6:02 AM every single day, check all employment outlets till 9 AM, follow-up with previous inquiries till 11 AM, add in a shower, a cup of coffee and the occasional bagel and force myself to get out of the apartment for at least an hour out of my day.
- I'm 6 pages from completing my professional portfolio.
- My parents have given me a great gift which still has me wondering when I'd have to pay them back. They've given me a trip to the Philippine Islands. I leave on April 24th on a 2.5 month journey. Back-pack in tow, I've decided to pack lightly, buy my clothes there, pack my linen pants and traverse this vast expanse. My hope for this trip is to find the real reason I was put here - what is my purpose? - no distractions, no wealth of material possessions. So with that said, I've decided to shave my hair off. I KNOW RIGHT?! I just want to be able to just wake up in the morning and GO! I will leave the iPhone at home and depend solely on this blog as as means of communication with souls back in the states. I'll be in the Ilocos for a good part of my trip but plan on visiting Boracay and Palawan. What lies in-between I'll leave it up to the road ahead.
- Everyone keeps saying this is a great time to start your own business. Stayed tuned for what's to come next...
So there! There you have it! A "short" run-down of what's been happening these past 4 months. I promise to keep you more informed. Until next...cheers!
