Martini Night

Last saturday I was invited by Enigma for a night out. I had to do some last minute shopping because I was wearing a plain shirt that day and we were going to Martinis, one of the latest bars located in Mandarin Oriental Manila. Good thing there are lots of sale items this time of the year, so I was able to grab a nice polo shirt. I don’t want to look underdressed or over-dressed either.

It was my first time to drink a martini! And this was the first two glasses. The light colored one is called Lychee and the other one is called Muddy. They both taste great! No wonder this is James Bond favorite drink! Shaken, not stirred dahlings!!!

Here’s my friend Enigma and the Donna of Martinis. She happens to be the PR of the place. Enigma is toasting a glass of Voodoo. Ohhh!!! I wonder what elixir is in that concoction?

This one is Martinis bestseller! It’s called the Chocolate Chili! One sip gives you a taste of the sweetness of chocolate, while the chili flavor starts kicking in once it gets past the tongue and into the tonsils and into the esophagus and one can feel the burning sensation slowly trickling down into one’s stomach giving one a tingly sensation that I simply can’t explain.

Ah, but my favorite drink is the one I am holding here, which has lots of leaves in it! Totally fit for a vegetarian like me! This one’s called the Manileno. I wonder why, though?

Anyway, I will be uploading other pics later. This will have to suffice for now. Till then, I am waiting for the rain outside to stop so that I can go out and play….

Four Months

After four months I am now happy to announce that I finally managed to get a job! Remember that “power interview” that I mentioned in one of my earlier entries? Well, I finally got the job. Whew! I’m really happy about it because it is a writing job. And yes, it is a call center job. Among the things that I like about it is that there is room for flexibility in terms of schedule of work. As long as I put in nine hours of work per day and that there’s no meeting that I’m required to attend to, then I can work at basically within the general work hours of most of the call center. General work hours refers to the other departments aside from the actual call center operations.

Other than that, I am glad that I would be able to start work again. It feels great to land on a job again! Alas, I won’t be able to take that trip to Bangkok. I have to forfeit my roundtrip tickets because I would still be in probationary period during that time. Oh well. So be it. Anyway, this is for the best. I believe in my heart that this job is meant for me because I truly prayed and asked God that I would accept a job offer if it is something regular and offers a routine. The school that I applied for didn’t offer me a regular job at all, but a part time job. Which was strange. Ergo, I don’t think that was meant for me. Also, almost ALL of my friends have discouraged me to pursue it. They didn’t agree with it and thought that I wouldn’t last long there either.

So that’s about it. Now if only I could get to blog more on other than my search for work…..
