Hey gals,
SO I'm Back from my trip but i haven't been around much because I FELL SICK!!! UUURRRRGH!! i hate being sick!! especially when i need to look for a job too!!! URGH bad timing!!!
I'm coughing, spluttering, lots of urrggggy phelgm,body aches, feverish and the whole works!!!
About the trip, It was a nice break to get away from things a little and think about things. no epiphany about things tho. =P
Can you guess where i went?
I went to see a bunch of casinos... Nope i'm not a gambler but i love hanging out at vegas and i wanted to see how different/similar the casinos in this location was... seeing the wynn was soooo comforting coss the building loks exactly like the one in vegas!! but the inside made me a little disoriented coss it looks like a mish mash of the bellagio (which i love) and the venetian!! (OK i love em both)
The other pic is a pic of the disney train. unfortunately it was waaaay too hot so I decided not to go into the disney park. i hung around at the disney hotels and gift shops instead. LOL!!! there was this really cute POOH snowglobe but it was big and expensive so i had to give it a miss.
SHOPPING: well i window shopped ALOT !!! LOL it was a tad depressing coss i would pick something up and go "URGH, 1,500 for the top, can't afford it !!!"... there were these lovely missoni tops i really wanted but they were unaffordable!! Booo hooo
the MJ boutique had a 40% sale and the white and lavender MP and venetia were sooo beautiful but couldn't bring any home with me. sob. unfortunately they wouldn't let me take a pic of the store =P
What i did end up buying was little pouches and handicrafts that were somewhat locally made and affordable.
there's another aspect of "shopping" but i won't write about that till you gals have guessed/disclosed the location of my trip.HEHEHE
Eating: I ate well, and ate alot of local food at the small roadside stalls. it was cheap and i made sure everything i ate was cooked so thank goodness i didn't get food poisoning!!
those of you that have been following my work situation will recall that i mentioned that some of the senior people from an ex company went around saying things about me but i couldn't clear things up cos i didn't know what they told to whom SO...
SIDE AGENDA: part of the purpose of the trip was to "smoothen the past". 2 ex colleagues were there and i emailed both to try to meet up. the one that i really wanted to meet with was traveling so i never got the chance to sort things out with M. I wanted to tell her that I don't know what was said and while it's been awhile, and i can't clear it up with everyone, I'd like to tell her my side of the story and clarify anything. I could have handled certain parts of the situation better but the way they treated me was incredibly vicious and uncalled for. (ok I would have left this last part out!!)
But I met the other, who we will call K, for dinner.
We used to work very long hours and all i can say is that i am a complete horror when i don't get my sleep!!! I was easily irritable and high strung and a total stress bomb!!!
I like K and i think she's a nice person and i wanted her to know that the high strung irritable me wasn't the real me. I guess i just didn't want her to think i was a monster you know?
anyway we had a brief catch up over dinner. I didn't say what i wanted to so straight forward but i did say something like, "OMG remember those days? I was so sleep deprived and I was just a monster!!!" I guess i can take comfort in the fact that since K replied to my email, i wasn't that much of a monster! LOL
Somehow i feel better knowing that she was willing to meet me and i got to hint to her that it wasn't the real me.
K has stayed with the same company and risen through the ranks and on one hand seeing her put together in a nice suit and bag made me somewhat envious. just as i often wonder, maybe i should have just put my head down and taken the crap and i'd be in a nice suit with a nice paycheck as well instead of my current limbo state.
It was only when I saw an ex classmate when i was having dinner that I was like "I feel like such a failure!!". she was on a date, drinking champagne wearing a missoni top (that i can't afford!!) and carrying a $3K bottega bag. I scruffled up my hair so it covered my face in hopes that she wouldn't recognize me coss I was in a GAP t shirt and pants and carrying an old gucci bag
i opted for the least expensive 3 course dinner while she had the full works. the contrast between us made me feel like a total failure!! URGH
ush:
ANYWAY, that was a digression. this calling on people out of the blue to "explain myself" may sound somewhat strange...
But i've been trying to straighten things out from the past....
So that's my trip. no cute guys involved though. BLEH
