Everyone has a MEAN SPOT

Shifting mode

I haven’t written much lately.
I’ve been busy… and not busy at the same time… well kind of in between most of the times.

I quit my job for another company. Somehow i knew i would be working for this other company so i took the offer without second thoughts.
I was on a shop walk-through the other week with 2 buyers. A fabulous guy and a stunning young lady- i felt like ugly betty on acid!
That was the inspiration behind my halloween costume:

Ugly Betty and Justin (this photo is from Lampel)

Naughty Drunk Fairy (fairy absinthe)

Moulin Rouge

Chun Li

Good vs Evil

shifting mode:

While i was on a short break, B, G and myself started DRAMA! our online boutique that was launched last 09/09/09
www.dramamode.com
we are also in facebook and twitter
There is always so much fun during photoshoots and meetings.
Been hearing comments from haters though
(haters who are secretly fanatics, think about it- you know u are! And hun, mind your own life because what you say don’t really matter- What have you achieved lately? hmpf- i tried to be nice to you!)
Alright forget about the wannabes…

Anti gun mode: i utterly, absolutely and completely H A T E G U N S. It has taken so much from my family.
It brings me deep sadness to even think of it.

Oh well…
Got to shift to romantic mode- back to reading Love Letters from Great Men.

5 days a week, i wake up at 6
too many things to do at work
so little time
i spend my day infront of the PC
only taking time off to have lunch
or to help the many stupid damsels in distress
or get pissed of by jabadahut whose ass is too heavy to walk 3 steps
or give instructions (for the 9th time) to snuffulafagus
-who was hired purely because she can batter her long lashes 24 hours a day
or have senseless discussions with mr. bean
-while fighting the urge to slap him for getting paid more than i am
i sit in my desk, curse almost everyone who passes by
yes- i do it all in my head
by 6pm i’m ready to scream from all the stress and the frustrations of the day

and then…

just before 7pm
he picks me up
i get in his car
he smiles at me
and asks about my day
then almost too quick and swift
everything is wonderful somehow.

Oh Brother!

Wrapping Up

meanmina — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:40:10 +0000

Last night i got an SMS from an online customer saying how much she loved the way the dresses were wrapped… such a sweet lady!
It feels good when little details of the things you do are appreciated!

I got myself new wrapping materials for my online shop.
Then i took a picture of them together.

Flea

I love this new cable channel MnL TV… i get to watch reruns of Okay Ka Fairy Ko and Iskul Bukol!!!… Vic Sotto’s comedic performances are sooo classic! (Nya-haaay!)

Flea flew over to Abu Dhabi
Finally husband had the strength to let go of flea (our first car which i named after redhotchilipepper’s bassist). I’ve always wanted to get rid of it but when our friend came to take it to Abu Dhabi- – I got sentimental!

Paella

A pathetic loser is trying to immitate my every move! Tttsssss….

Hey honey, i’m glad that i inspire you and all but do me a favor will you- use your head! Think of something new… don’t just follow my every step.

That’s it.
Had to vent.
