what i love about me 12jul08

i tried to be very honest about myself when i first wrote “what i love about me“. it was a hard entry to write that took me a few days to complete. i wanted to start a little personal project. not really to “find” myself, but to tell myself, “girl, don’t let nobody tell you you can’t do anything. work it. be fierce.”

it’s a similar concept to keeping a style diary of your outfits and special get-ups. the more you see for yourself how you look in what you’re wearing (mirrors sometimes tell a lie), you’ll learn what works for you and what doesn’t. so by keeping a little archive of what i loved about myself, i figured i could always come back and look at it when i was feeling particularly shitty. because let’s be honest now, we all have days like that!

and i know reading “feel-goods” about other people somehow rubs off. so we should all rub off each other and feel groovy together. heh heh!

in all honesty and i’m so not going to lie, if you’ve been following my blog a little, you’ll know that i had such a fantastic week. i had a great weekend that i spent not only with gala and nubby, i also had the chance to meet loulou who is so darn cute!! and better yet, i am just loving my job more and more. as you know, i’m interning at patricia field and everyone there is just the nicest of people on this planet. i don’t think i’m the best worker (i do have my off days) but i really try hard and i’m just so happy doing work there, i’m taking whatever they’re giving me!

on the social level, they crack me up big time. everyone’s so cute, even though we’re not exactly best friends or anything, sometimes they make me laugh so much i want to pinch their cheeks and hug them, we had two parties in the last week. one was for independence day where we had a barbecue at pat’s house. the other party was on wednesday. it was one of my bosses’ birthday and we had it in the middle of the hudson river! (more pictures to come, once i figure out which ones i wanna put up! haha!)

so really, i am having such a good time.

meeting up with nubby and also having met gala on numerous occasions since she’s been in new york, we’ve had the chance to sort of discuss a little about our goals and dreams in life. i loved that. although i’m not that close to them, it felt good knowing people who were chasing their dreams – just as i am.

in a strange coincidence, i was randomly looking at my blog stats, which i hardly ever do, and i was getting some hits from one of gala’s old posts. it was from a comment i made, and when i read it, i had to smile to myself a little. i had said:

i’m really glad i found this blog because although we’re different in so many ways, i feel we’re so similar in many others.

gala and i are rather different on the personality level. but i think it’s great how we both work hard to make our dreams come true. so bravo to you, dear gala. and yay to me too. because i know how hard i had to work to get to where i am today. it was a very very long and winding road and although there is still so much more that i have yet to learn or experience, recently, i feel like i really have one foot in the door

what about you? what do you love about yourself? don’t be shy! pretend you’re a snooty little princess or a nose-in-the-air prince, and let me hear all about it. haha! or if you would take a picture of yourself too, i definitely want to see!!
