Top 5 random things #LeonorinPasay

1. Over-priced condo bedspace rent fee. I still have one freaking week to search for a new place. 

2. Had the opportunity to watched the opening game of PBA 2016. I saw Chris Tiu, James Yap and Jeff Chan. Also,it’s my first time at MOA Arena! Probinsyana level x 1000.

3. Bought two life changing books. I’m planning to pursue my dream of becoming a ninja turtle soon. Just Kidding!

4. Lost my e-plus card (a card that is use to pay our meals at the pantry) worth P468.00. Luckily, It was retrieved two days after with the help of SMLEI people. -Pag mahal ka, babalikan ka </3 Hahaha

Mistaken Identity

Earlier, I did a shopping for myself since I have to wear strict corporate attire for my work. I went to the mall at around 10 in the morning and had a quick conversation with a man offering credit cards. Man: Miss! Miss!

Me: Why?

When he saw my face, he suddenly stopped and realized something.

Man: Ay! Sorry Ma'am! Student pa right?

Since I'm really not interested on purchasing a credit card (never!) I said "YES!" and walked out from him. *** When I purchased a commodity (naks! Econ!) especially clothes, I always make sure that it can be use for three or more outfits. Second, it should have a very good quality (the color must be appropriate for my age and the clothes should perfectly fit for my body). Lastly, the piece must be on sale!(Yes, I am that barat girl who loves clothes! Lots of it!) These are the reason why it took me 6 hours in the mall to find 3 pieces of office wear, a pair of shoes and a bag. 6 freaking hours! After I had enough and saw that my wallet was drained out, I decided to go home. On my way to the exit door, another man approached me. Man: Ma'am!

Me: Why?

Man: Do you have kids? We have a new coloring bla bla bla "DO YOU HAVE KIDS?" I'm like "Whaaat?" I just turned 21 last week. I just graduated from college! I'm just about to start my first real job next week! I still have dreams! (I'm just that OA, okay? haha) Maybe, I just look sooo tired and stressed from shopping. I now know what shopping in a crowded mall can do for me. I walked in to that mall looking like a student and ended up looking ten years older 6 hours later. Anyways, I had a great time shopping alone. I think I have all the pieces I want for that perfect corporate attires! See you office mates next week!

Meet ‘the’ Leonor Rivera

I’ve decided to make a “not so secret blog” to have a room for my over-thinking, emotional and creative brain cells. I do have a real name that my Mum and Dad gave me on my birthday, but to add a sense of “mystery” you may call me as Leonor Rivera. She’s the first love of Jose Rizal, a Filipino hero who happens to share a home town or should I say same province with me.

I do love mysteries. In fact, I fascinate TV series and films that deals with it. I love Sherlock Holmes, Detective Conan, How to Get Away With Murder, Gone Girl and Shawshank Redemption. Well, obviously my all time favorite american series is How I Met Your Mother. This is a romantic comedy series but also fall under the ‘mystery’ category since it is all about finding the mother of the protagonist’ (Ted Mosby) kids. I love this series simply because the mother was never revealed until the last season (the show ran for 9 seasons so yeah, fans waited for 9 years!), and all we know were some “clues” that were given on the first 8 seasons.

I was hooked when this “clues” were shown. Like the mother, I was also an Economics student, had a “broken heart” during her 21st birthday, had a quarter life crisis and also likes doodling weird stuffs. But unlike the mother, my life is not a happy sitcom. I don’t have directors that will say “CUT!” each time I made mistakes on my actions. Moreover, I don’t have scriptwriters who’ll tell me what to say, or when to say it. In short, I don’t have a perfect American sitcom.

I tripped and fell on stairs during my first year in high school, and almost everybody was watching. I don’t have a perfect hair. I think my arms are too big for my body type. I tripped and fell again during a fun run at our University. I was a bright student during grades school but eventually became average during college years. I eat spaghetti in a weird way. I wish I knew a sport. I am too short for my ambition. I tripped (and almost fell) while doing a catwalk. I get lost easily. I don’t have a Ted Mosby as of the moment.

My life isn’t perfect, but I want to share all the fun adventures that I had (and will have). I will also share my random thoughts, encounter with different types of people, my fashion sense and the food that I love to eat. Obviously, this is like an online diary for me.

I hope to make my future readers laughed and be inspired!

XOXO
