What's Up: Last THURSDAY of 2013 // Randomness

Merry Christmas! Merry? I don't know... I was waiting for my cousins to arrive but they didn't come.. Yeah Yeah... I know. They spent their Christmas with their boyfriends and girlfriends and friends... I was so PATHETIC! I was awake until 11:30 pm of December 24, 2013, hoping that they will knock on the door... but they didn't. I was really sad... very sad. Nevertheless, I understood the situation, so what I did was play the guitar all night until my fingers got terribly swollen.

Maybe you'll ask "Where's your parents?", "Don't you have friends?" etc.

My parents? After they cooked a lot of foods they slept at exactly 8:00 pm. My grandmother, as well as her housekeeper, did the same thing. So, I was left all alone to celebrate my MERRY Christmas singing and playing "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne and drinking... of course not alcohol! but some Sour Cherry Drink. And my friends live far away from my hometown. End of Story.

Thursday. I always remember someone every time it's Thursday. So hello to you Mr. Manager... if ever you're reading this... right now.

I went to Travel Agency for Hotel reservation and booking of plane ticket. Right. After a very LONG time... I finally have the chance to take a break from my everyday life cycle of work-study-work-study. 

It was around September when I received a message from my Aunt who wants to have a Trip somewhere. She told me to prepare everything I need. So I did. The hardship I experienced in order for me to have all the requirements... was beyond words. I worked hard (not to earn money, okay?) for almost 4 months to get my VISA on time. There was a time when I almost cried at the agency because they were asking for another papers. However, the staff apologized to me and admitted that it was their mistake. It was terribly FRUSTRATING and I couldn't even get mad so I just cried and cried and cried. Their system's not that organized. I exerted EFFORT and my parents were witnesses. They even helped and encouraged me. Thankfully, they grant me my VISA... a big YEHEY! for that. :)

 (Perfect weather? This is my definition of perfect weather. Cloudy. Not sunny.  A little windy. I don't like SUNNY weather.)

Today, I went somewhere and I ended up at a mall. I just walked and watched all the people who were busy with their shopping. I was not in the mood but I needed to get out because I could feel the stress building up inside my body again. The first thing I noticed was the yellow shopping bags... that's right! Forever21. A lot of people were carrying Forever21 and Uniqlo shopping/paper bags. It was really crazy!!!! Almost all of them were inside the shops while the other boutique were like ghost town... no people at all. I am not a fan of those two brands but I did have clothes from Forever21... and I really REGRET buying from there.

Lastly, before I went out I asked my grandmother's housekeeper if my clothes look good on me and she answered:

 "Erica, the clothes you're wearing don't matter. What matters the most is your CHARACTER as a person. Whatever clothes you wear will look good on you if you have a good mind."

 And... She's right.

That will be all for today. Does this entry makes any sense? I hope so. 

Lessons learned:

1. If you want something, do everything you can to achieve/get it. Giving all your efforts means a lot.
2. It's not about your clothes, the brands but it's all about your CHARACTER as a person.
3. Watching people once in a while can decrease stress.
4. Follow your heart.

Good night everyone! Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Things that made me happy:

1. NYX's sales staff named EMZ. She's very nice. She remembered me even if I was there only once. She said "Hello". What a nice person!
2. My best friend who accompanied me in watching Twilight Saga movie marathon.
3. Walking somewhere.
4. Watching people.
5. Him.

PS. I am sad because I lost my DSLR Lens cap. AND I don't know!!!!! but I am really worried about something. It's making me nervous. I am hoping for the BEST. I will pray HARDER.
