Broken Camera
I’m really sad about my camera. Fuck man, this totally sucks. Today I went to the Nikon Service Center to supposedly have my camera fixed but after finding out it’s going to cost as much as 80% of the current cost of the camera just really brought me down. So now I’m finding out a way to send the camera back to Jakarta because the warranty’s there so I went to FedEx and the shipping cost is just as much as the repair cost. Those events really brought me down. Thank goodness work just took it all away. I love the camera to bits (and my iPod–but I haven’t gotten to that part yet) and have so many events currently happening and will happen in my life that can’t be documented all because I fucking left my tumbler open inside my bag. Excuse the all the french but damn. Fuuuuuuuuuudge. I can’t even post photos on this blog anymore and that really really makes me sad. UGH! I can’t not care. I need to find a way for this camera to be brought back to Jakarta A.S.fucking.A.P and have it fixed or replaced to a new unit so that I’m able to use it again for all the awesome stuff that’s currently happening in my life right now. Perfect timing really.
Random Tumblr Things #1
Should have done this way long ago. It helps with random bouts of inspiration here and there. I like too many things it gets a little difficult to align my thoughts all the time sometimes. Expect more of this in the future.
I want a room like this.

It’s a Colorful One
It’s funny how I try to update my layout but my blogging mojo still ends up being shit. Ever since moving back to Cebu my life has been a happy breeze, time has been consumed very productively (sleep is productive ok) but of course it’s hardly a win-win situation. Life may be currently great, but my gadgets are not. I made a stupid mistake of putting an open tumbler inside my bag. While both my phones were safe from the results of my stupidity.. my camera, my iPod Touch and my Moleskine weren’t. Needless to say, those 3 loves of mine aren’t in very good condition right now. I feel awful, really really awful. And not just “How will I be able to play Temple Run again?” awful, just really really awful. My iPod is alive, but it does not respond to any touch. My camera is intact, but it refuses to turn on. My Moleskine is back to dry, but the pages that I wrote in using that pretty purple Muji pen are almost all smudged and unreadable and eliminates the whole purpose of having a journal in the first place. On top of everything, my MacBook Pro decides to have this annoying vertical red line inside the LCD, which my troubleshooting powers can’t even fix. It may be gone from me for a month tops if I decide to send it over for repair. SIGH.
Yes, these are all first world problems but I just want to rantrantrant(!) this away. AWFUL describes how I feel. On the upside my new job has been treating me greatly and I’ve been taking everything in with an open mind and a positive heart. Right now I’m just going to enjoy this no-negativity career life. This is the first time I’m genuinely happy to go to work and stay at work. Sure, it’s hardly been a month but they say first impressions last, right?
Life Update!
Sorry it’s been so long since I last wrote here! A lot of things have happened in my life ever since my last entry and the problem is of course, where to start? As of now I’m back in the Philippines. It wasn’t an easy decision to make by any means, but I’m glad I did it (I hope to say the same in the future!). I left Jakarta on the 9th of February so everything was sort of very much a rollercoaster prior to that, packing my stuff, saying goodbye to friends and family, shopping for new stuff, and making room for the future in my thoughts.
The reason why I moved back is because I’ve been trying to find a way to get away from Jakarta. As I’ve said in my previous posts, it will always be home to me and I have unending love for it, but you can’t stick with something that’s bringing you down. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. I felt like I had no room to grow in that bittersweet city anymore, so I found the next best alternative which didn’t require a big adjustment..back home in Cebu. Truth to be told I’ve been looking for jobs ever since late last year and during Christmas vacation I had some interviews and in the end (after a long grueling wait filled with dilemma of whether to be or not to be–however you make take that), I finally got accepted to the job I had the most fun being interviewed in. I’m on my second week right now and so far it’s been great.
I have a lot of photos to post too! Almost every weekend since the year started I’ve been out with friends and catching up and having fun. Nothing too crazy, just good old plain hanging out. I also had a sort-of-farewell, funny thing because I really had no time to make a proper decent farewell because everything was happening so fast and the new job required me to start asap (after making me wait so long, grr) so during my last Friday night in Jakarta I called, texted, BBM’ed friends from all over the city. Everyone sort of came together that night and I couldn’t have been more happier. All my closest friends were there be it from high school, uni, random friends (with the exception of the ones who weren’t in the country) and I felt so loved. It was a nice ecclectic 6-degrees-of-separation group of people.
I miss Jakarta! I miss my friends, I miss the food, I miss my mom, my sister and my dog, I miss the comfiest bed in the world, and the comfiest life I’ve ever lived but for now this is one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. And God forbid if it doesn’t turn out well (showing no signs though ;p), I can safely say I truly did something for myself and stuck with my own decision. No regrets. Time to move forward!
I’m in a rush right now so I’ll have to post more soon, complete with visuals this time 🙂
