I'm going to Boracay tomorrow! When I woke up I was feeling beachy already so I decided to wear a summery outfit for work today: khaki capris, a bright-colored shirt and pink floral Havaianas.

How un-corporate, noh?

I felt like an outcast when, on the elevator going to the cafeteria, I found myself amongst people wearing polos, knit tops, slacks, leather shoes and bags in white, black, gray and brown. If not for the girl who toted a red bag, it would've felt like Pleasantville.

This experience made me realize how I'm so not made for this world. I can't stand being in the corporate world. For me, it's too...hmmm...restrictive.

Maybe this is a stereotype or maybe I'm really just this jologs girl who's meant to work in creative, cramped up workplaces. I'm loud. I eat like a kanto boy. I love wearing tsinelas, maong pants, capris and shirts. I'm such a maton. I like wearing my hair up in a messy bun. And I'm not good at schmoozing.

How un-corporate, di ba?

When I was still a kid, I always dreamt of having a corporate job, of wearing a business suit, killer pumps, framed glasses and a super tight pony tail. But I guess when you get to know yourself better, your dreams change and what used to feel right suddenly feels not so right anymore. It's an exciting journey, discovering yourself.

It's amazing how everyday experiences help you figure out what you want and lead you to the right path. It's really just a matter of opening your eyes and acknowledging what's in front of you.

So ano na?

Hehe. Wala lang.

This is a good day. =)
