Lucky Day

Lady luck smiled at me today. Well, not only that, I think she sat beside me today. I got my first pay, after struggling with my ATM for a couple of hours. You see, I thought there was nothing in my debit card because the machine kept telling me "Wrong Pin". I did not realize my mistake of inserting it in the ATM of another bank. I just thought it was okay and it doesn't matter. Well, pretty much for a couple of hours there, I accepted the fact that I'm just gonna be broke for the rest of the year. But being the persistent person that I am, I inserted it in the ATM machine of my bank and lo and behold, it asked me to change the pin. Then it showed that I have my money! Yehey! I gave P20 to two kids who asked for coins. Like, really! I was so ecstatic I wanted to jump.

But it was a momentary happiness. I knew I had to save and send money to my parents. Not to mention I owe a  lot to my uncle and my cousins.

Well, I hope my lucky streak will continue. Is this the silver lining of my break up with Marcus? That I'll have a career, a job and I won't be broke but I'll be alone? Well, I hope not. But right now, I'm so thankful to God that He has not left my side.

I bought a great shoe by the way. I'll share it next time.

Super Bored

I'm officially numb and might need resuscitation from boredomland. It has been a pretty slow week for me and I can't believe I've been idle pretty much the whole time this week. Good Lord, please don't allow me to have the same fate next week. I need to be working to start my bodily functions. I'm nothing if I'm not doing anything. I would rust if I'm not doing anything.

All week I have done nothing but watch movies all day. I'd sleep late and wake up late (a trick so that I won't get to eat a lot) and watch movies online. Hmmm... this week, I watched Letters to Juliet, Easy A, Just Wright, Here Comes the Bride, a bit of He's Just Not That Into You and Killers. I just finished watching Just Wright and I fell in love with both Queen Latifah and Common. Common is smoking H-O-T! The Diva Latifah, well, she is uber sexy in this movie. I love that the movie industry is finally casting plus-size women in such great roles and them pulling it off. Plus, they have chemistry. Damn!

I'm soo looking forward to our get together with my college friends. It has been years since we've last seen each other and I need to move about to kick start the week. Well, they say, if you got a great weekend, you'd probably have a great week ahead. Pretty much like a glimpse of the future.

Oh, since I only got out of the house like once this week, I took the chance to have my cousin take a shot of the great ukay find I got. Here it is...






I got it near the LRT station in Tayuman. My officemates told me the best ukay finds are in Bambang and Tayuman so one fine day, while on my way to work, I got this green peacock printed dress for P135 ($3). Hope you guys like it.

I'll post more ukay finds next time.

Oh, did I mention I curled my hair? See, I'm definitely bored. Next time you'll hear I shaved parts of my body...kidding! But my point is: My boredom has got to STOP!

tidbits

Here are some stuff i always say to friends that i thought of writing them down. They may not be that awesome but they are still thoughts to ponder. No, they definitely will not save humanity but it will help you be a better you to help save humanity.

1. Try to live each day with fervor. whether just rounding up the corner to buy a pack of smoke (which i still don't do), try to make an effort to stay pretty. who knows who you might run into.

2. It's overkill and redundant if your single, ugly and broke all at the same time. We may not be able to do something with your being single without needing the intervention of another human being but you can definitely take charge with your being ugly and broke.

3. Give your food not your money to somebody asking for alms. You save him the trouble of going to the restaurant and being shooed by the owner. Plus, in this crisis-stricken world what can your measly P1.00 do to him?

4. Always strive to look fabulous no matter what your waistline is.

5.I cannot stress this enough...get a life! who cares if your dating the next best thing in town? It is still hotter is you are the town's next best thing! Get a career!

6. I'm not picky. I only have self-respect. And my dad has invested so much in me, my education and my career to find me in tow with a guy who can't speak straight English. I'd rather die single.

Finally!

I woke up early with a yearning to write. However, I'm no longer in the media (of writing) but I'm now connected with the media of gab. After watching Letters to Juliet, which by the way was awesome and truly endearing, I have this itch to wrote something the way the protagonist in the story had. After all, writing is my first love. Actually, it's writing and coffee.

So now, the birth of PHAT PINAY.

PHAT PINAY will be my own take to the surging revolution of curvy girls expressing their love for their body, their self, and all things in between--- fashion, sex, love, and everyday living. I am proud that I'm in this generation where plus-size and equally adorable and gorgeous women from all over the world are shouting "We love our bodies!". Gone was the era of anorexia and unhealthiness. I'm not saying that I'm not obese in my 4'10" frame weighing 69 kilos but what I'm saying is "i love my body and i'm going to nurture and take care of it the healthiest way possible".

Being a Filipina in my frame is a pressure where staying fit at 50 kilos is a must and a norm in my society. But I'm getting there. I lost 6 kilos already trying to keep up with my new job, in this new city. I hope my PHAT PINAY inspires me more to do good, be even more fabulous and inspire others as well.

WELCOME TO PHAT PINAY!
