Mid-Autumn Festival

It feels great to have a day off here in Taiwan. Why the fuzz? It's just because we don't have that much. Public holidays just don't exist much in this country called Taiwan. Basically, in a year, you'll be lucky to have a week off for public holidays and that includes a few days for Chinese New Year already. So this is a rare and precious time here:)

However, what's intriguing is the tradition that comes along with this festivity. Besides the traditional mooncake-eating, during the mid-autumn festival celebration here, everybody bbqs. Interesting! If you know the reason why they do this, please let me know:). I've been here for 6 years and I'm still clueless about the reason behind this tradition.

Where the hell am I really going? I think I'm not going to be settled in any place these coming months. I have to keep moving and moving and the biggest problem is that nothing is final. I don't know yet my final destination. Thinking about this is such a pain in the ass...

Bye bye freedom at work!

Honestly, I wasn't expecting that my freedom at work would be cut this soon. I knew that day will come however not this fast and certainly not today. But alas, I went to work today and after an hour or so, the news was delivered to me. The news flash ---> I was going to be transferred to the other office already effective tomorrow. Booooooo........ No more juicy mornings, showtime breaks, sushi/subway/bibimbap lunch, solo concert moments plus movie time... I will even miss the fishy feeding ritual (I know that's a surprise). So sad:(

An official tweeter!

At long last, I finally started tweeting. I signed up long time ago but just officially made use of my twitter account today. I guess I am convinced that my life is really boring and I'm just finding ways to make use of my time.

Anyway, it was quite a different experience compared to facebook. My facebook is officially for friends while on the other hand my twitter account is to follow celebrities. I started following the twitter accounts of some local celebrities and I had fun reading their tweets and their daily activities. Twitter I guess will be one of my chismax source from now on. Twitter time means to kill boredom besides refreshing my facebook account a thousand times in an hour just to see if I had new notifications or any new posts from friends lol.

Happy tweeting to me:)

CAPITAL BORING!!!

I'm such a boring girl.... even a friend calls me boring girl. And it's true. It's been 2 weeks that I haven't seen anybody besides colleagues. Actually, this week, I started working all by myself in the office, so I only get to see them when we are called to have a meeting which is probably once a week or once in 2 weeks. And the past weekends, I just kind of turned myself into a bear or a DH. Hibernate and clean. That's all I do.

In short, I literally socialized with no one these days. I'm not complaining though that I'm temporarily working alone in that office because it is totally awesome. It allows me to do whatever I want to do at my own phase whenever I want to do it. However, that freedom also triggered the usual boring person that I am. Now, all I do is work and watch online movie streaming and Filipino shows besides the normal stuff like eat and sleep. I don't even feel like going out even if people invite me. And if I wanted to, inferiority complex gets into me and I just decide to go on with my hibernation. Probably it is because I don't feel good about myself too at this time. But whatever it is, I need to find a solution and start living the 80's kind of life, when there were no computers and no internet yet accessible to commoners. A life wherein I have to get in contact with other human beings and not just use them as mannequins or puppets in my own world. Earth calling Krisel!!!

Wedding bells...... not for me but for my friend!!!

I was very ecstatic upon hearing the confirmation about the upcoming wedding of my very good friend and his boyfriend. Actually, I knew about this long time ago through her mom but she never told me anything about it. Not even about the part of her having a boyfriend. But I totally understand because she never had a boyfriend ever. Actually, she's my very first Taiwanese friend.

Anyway, when she finally told me, I had to pretend that I didn't know anything although there was one thing that was true.... the happiness that I felt was genuine. I'm really happy for her, for her to have finally met her one....

As for me, I am still waiting for my "d 1"... And while waiting, I just have to continue making "pa-beauty". Also, since my friend asked me to be her bridesmaid/maid of honor, I'm very excited about that. First time I'm going to play this part in a Taiwanese wedding. I can't wait to know what I'm going to wear and also to take great photos on that special day. And what my friend told me is that the last time she attended a wedding, she got the bouquet from the bride then... so now I have to battle for that bouquet and who knows next year or the year after... it's my turn to walk down the aisle... I hope so. Fingers crossed LOL:)

Out of sight, out of mind....

"Here we go again falling in love again falling in love all over...." It's not right and it's never going to be right. So what I had to do is block the connections slowly. Just take it easy. And it did really make sense. It is indeed a process but it's proven that it works. I myself had a first hand experience. I did an experiment for curiosity sake. The span was for a couple of weeks and seems that the result I was expecting happened.

However, I also realized that even if it helped me to take a big step forward, something somehow will take me 10 steps backward. What do I mean by that? Yes, it clearly takes your mind out of something and creates a slight angle shift to your daily life cycle. But then when it's knocking on your back door again, the speed of falling for the bait is 10 times as fast. Hmmmmmm.......
