in the city that always seems to sleep

i've officially moved to dumaguete. it is this small city in negros oriental where to population is around 100,000 give or take but it feels so congested because everyone hangs out in the same place. the mall that is. or maybe i do so that's why i feel that they are always following me. i have been here two weeks now and everyday, it's the same routine, wake up, swim, eat chocolate oatmeal for breakfast, go to work, go home for lunch, siesta, go back to work, wait for store to close, go home, and watch videos until i fall asleep. i thank god i have a boyfriend to talk to otherwise i'd develop foot and mouth disease.. aka having your foot in your mouth because you hardly get to talk. i try to spice things up sometimes.. like i have a break and drink coffee (which is like my favourite drink these days) or i edit photos instead of watching videos... exciting changes yes? oh definitely.

family is great here though. i havent hung out with them for the longest time. i remember coming here during the summers when i wouldn't want to learn piano or tap dancing. no mom. no thanks. i'd rather get a job. so that's what i did. i'd pick up baskets at the supermarket, put price tags on items at the department store. decent job and awesome pay. 30 to 70 pesos a day. considering i never had any daily allowance until i reached college, even 10 bucks a day would thrill me.

i think i just need time to adjust. i still feel incompetent. everyone knows what to do and they all seem so busy. but i'm here sitting down.. trying to find things to do, and after i've done all there is to do, i pretend to still have something work-related to do. but really, i'm blogging or dreaming. i'm hoping this is just a beginner's phase. newbie on hiatus. but i am learning a lot. i hope i get better or busier soon. fingers and toes crossed.

i should not stop with my photos! im just lazy all the time. *GRRRRR's self* i WILL edit photos once a week. like on sundays. if not, may ants crawl up my ass and sting me! so i will see you next week with at least ONE photo. i'd like to start with beijing.. but that's still far away. i think i'd be less lazy if i were thinner.

WISH ME LUCK!!!! xx
