I’ll see you.
Where to?
Labor day is today.
I’ve lost my energy. I don’t know if it’s right, but I’ve become passive and disoriented. I’ve become my alter ego. When will I be crazy happy again?
Day 30: Photo finish!
Day 30 » A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past 30 days
The three good things that happened in the past month:
1. I survived the cold winter in Shanghai. Spring is really here!
2. I’m better in handling finances. I’ve tamed my impulses and even documented my expenses everyday. At least I’m improving.
3. Looking back at a blog post almost a year ago, I mentioned:
…I want a memory that would make me fall off my chair or even just make my lips draw a half smile. I want a memory that stands out.
…I feel like I’m missing out on some things. I need to find out what they are. I need to make new memories in this phase of my life. Time’s running out. I won’t be single unmarried forever.
Well, I think this is it. I’ve already tried new things, visited new places and met new people. Working here in Shanghai is by far the most worthwhile experience I ever had in my life. It’s really handy to be patient.
At last! Day 30! A vain photo to end the blog challenge.
I thank thee. Cheers!
Day 29: Love oh love
Day 29 » Something you could never get tired of doing
Waiting. 
Wish.
I’m not sure where I was, but it was dark. Someone asked me to wait for him and so I did. I waited, and there he was. It was still that same face, the one I’ve known for the past eight years.He handed me a beautiful ring and slipped it onto my finger. It was a happy moment. My eyes were in tears.
I was waiting for the usual speech and the “will you marry me” part of what he was going to say, but I slowly realized that I was in a dream. I became half awake. I panicked. I tried convincing my mind not to wake up. I know I’ve done this before in one of my dreams. But like a scene in Somewhere In Time, I was slowly rushed back to consciousness. I opened my eyes. Tears. I just dreamed about my fiance and wish it never ended.
No more Tiffany visits for me in the very near future.

Day 27: Last year
Day 27 » A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then
A photo last year in my uncle’s car with my brothers. We were going to Mall of Asia to attend mass.
How I’ve changed? I didn’t. I just know who my real friends are now.
Day 26: Kaching Day
Day 26 » A photo of somewhere you’ve been to
Today was the most expensive day I have spent in Shanghai.
Stop 1: Lunch out at Element Fresh in Jinqiao Road
58 RMB for chicken in black pepper sauce plus the side dish.
Stop 2: Jamaica Blue in Wulumuqi Road
Didn’t have the chance to take photos. But to sum up: disappointing. My friend and I had to share with the sandwich she ordered because the french toast I was craving for was not available at that time. The menu clearly says “Breakfast: Served all day” but the waitress keeps on insisting that they only serve it on mornings because it’s a breakfast meal. Whut?
Stop 3: Starbucks Xintiandi
Ordered the usual iced tall Americano with 4 white sugars 3 syrups. A very easy 21 RMB.
Stop 4: Cocktails and Pinoy bands in Luna Xintiandi
Only rich people get drunk in a bar in Shanghai. Alcohol drinks start at 60 RMB per glass/shot. This Vodka Citron cocktail costs 65 RMB.
Thanks to the Pinoy bands we’ve watched, we felt close to home.
Stop 5: Mcdonald’s in Longyang Subway Station
I always crave for a lomi or a mami from back home after drinking alcohol, but I have no choice but to eat at Mcdonald’s instead. Five pieces of chicken nuggets cost 16 RMB.
Kaching! Kaching! I hope I’ll recover in two weeks.
Day 25: Lazy post
Day 15 » Something you don’t leave the house without
Today’s blog challenge is close to the post I made in Day 15.
Zzz..
