General Retrospect

Published by Justine

I meant to post about a pretty awesome weekend where I watched Sondre Lerche and Corinne Bailey Rae and attended one of my closest friend’s wedding but I’ll get to that later. Work has been sorta biting my ass this week (well except for my rest Monday–had no work that time), I’ve hardly had any time to sit down in front of a WP page that when I found a chance I grabbed it straight away. I was sorting out my backups folder when I found a couple of old blog posts that I had saved and it got me thinking how my writing was so much better then. These days when I blog I’m always finding it hard to construct sentences in my head to tell a story or describe something. For example this morning while I was taking a shower, I suddenly thought of things to write about and had them saved up in my head. Of course the minute I turned the shower off all the thoughts went off with it. I …

Happily Married.. Really?

Published by Justine

I shouldn’t be so surprised anymore when I catch up with old friends (hookups/whatnot) I haven’t seen in a long time and they tell me they’re married. This mindset of mine should be fixed that I’m not in high school anymore, I’m not even in uni anymore. I’m so close to entering the “mid-20s” stage and everyone around me is gradually tying the knot (and having kids). Not only friends but even the cousins I grew up with are building their own families and sometimes I ask myself where it leaves me, am I really that idle? Then again, if I’m happy with the way I live my life then it shouldn’t be a problem. Speaking of weddings, one of my good friends from high school is getting married this weekend. They’re both only 21. I’m really happy they found each other but at the same time I can’t help but think about how young they are. Ever since I graduated a year ago I’ve already attended 2 weddings of uni friends and classmates but …

Body Clock Blues

Published by Justine

Like many of you out there, I too, have a love/hate relationship with my body clock. Particularly this week, things didn’t start out so nice. I’ve been droopy all day since yesterday plus it’s my third week in the new office and I’m still not used to the 7:30am time in. Wack! I actually wake up at the same time even with my previous job but this office is much nearer so I don’t really have time to steal sleep in the car anymore whereas on my way to the old office I would get stuck for about 2-3 hours on the road coz of highway traffic so I still had a bit of shut-eye time. Asleep or not asleep though, traffic is always a bitch. What’s frustrating me right now is that the moment I get home I can’t sleep straight away because I’m always subconsciously finding something to do and it seems like my body only wants to sleep early in the morning. It’s ridiculous. So I still end up sleeping late. Those …

Christmas Wishlist!

Published by Justine

It’s that time of the year again, when it’s happy and merry and you receive a lot of gifts. Last weekend was marked the very first Christmas-themed dinner I took part in and got my first Christmas loot as well. I pretty much received everything I liked. Wallets (I LOVE WALLETS), money, accessories and clothes but that was just the beginning. I can’t wait to receive more so here I am constructing a Christmas wishlist. As I’ve said I don’t always get all of them each year but the joy of making a list is fun enough for me already.. so let’s start! More film for my Instax It’s a need that keeps on coming up and the more films stocked up the better! 50mm lens for the 550D I’m still a noob but it would be really great to get a good set of 50mm portrait lens for the camera. I love shooting portrait and it sucks when you don’t have the right lens for it right? 2PM Hottest DVD from Japan I’ve been …

Two Peas in Singapore

Published by Justine

I just came back from my short but so awesomely sweet Singapore trip with one of my best girlfriends, Novella. We’ve been planning to have a trip ever since we both graduated last February. We went to Perth, Australia with our families for graduation but we decided we needed to go somewhere just the both of us. Lots of suggestions came up. Bali, back to the Philippines, Thailand or any fun budget destinations then up until a month ago when we got together quickly we decided to go to Singapore instead. It was totally shotgun, and with super cheap tickets we decided to give it a go. I go to Singapore a couple of times a year and I never tire of it. Fast forward a month later, we were off to our 3 day mini holiday. With her job and mine, it was quite difficult to ask for a longer vacation but we took whatever we could get. We pretty much knew Singapore already and Universal Studios and hanging out and having some girl …
