what would you do?


on monday, my resignation became official. yes, i know i already wrote about submitting my resignation and talking to my manager but for the last 2 or so weeks, they have been holding on to this hope that i will change my mind so they kept me talking to higher management and have tried postponing my decision by saying, "let's talk again on monday...just spend the weekend thinking about your decision." they told me that on 3 fridays. so i just nodded only to come back every monday with the same plan in mind. i didn't mean to give them a hard time and i am definitely not trying to give too much importance to myself. i am sorry guys, but you can't hold this girl down. 

so i have 6 more working days (counting tonight) until my last day in the corporate world. i am counting the days and have been counting the hours, literally! i have already transitioned all my tasks to the other supervisors that i have ended up not doing anything on my shift. i get home but cannot sleep because i have all these things running in my mind, like what i am going to do with my freedom. two things top my list but that's it. so out of curiosity, i am going to ask you:

what would you do if you were 25 years old and you just quit your day job, taking enough savings you've made over the past 4 years?

grey oversized knitted top - thrifted
black long cardigan - thrifted
jeans - bebe jeans
grey metal-embellished flats - a gift from charm (so fab!)
my over-used grey bag - mongkok ladies' market, hongkong
pearl and bead necklace - DIY-ed in college
stone ring - thrifted in carbon
cuffs - both from props
work watch - swatch

Sensible Wishes

Besides good health and time spent with my family, here my sensible birthday wishes this year:

Books by Haruki Murakami and Jane Austen

New painting materials + spare time to really paint:
 Lessons
Lessons on pattern making and sewing:

And the most sensible of all, more flat shoes for all the errands I have to run:
Birthday Wish!


ps. I know the Jeffrey Campbells are not flats. I have been secretly desiring them for months now! Who hasn't right?

11 more days to go before my birthday --- the books are available at Fully Booked or National Bookstore and the painting materials can be found in Visayan Bookstore or National Bookstore. The shoes??? Well, I accept local ones inspired by these amazing ones! *wink*
