Quickie

Not much going on lately. Moved back to Calgary in June (my "lease" was up, and I decided not to take the job that was MAYBE being offered, in the hopes of actually finding something more permanent, or at least longer term), and since then I have been a) looking for jobs, b) applying for jobs, c) working on leftover data analysis, d) hanging out with my friends and my sisters and cousins, and e) doing nothing. A forced semi-vacation, I guess. There has been some interesting revelations, some shocking and sad news, some ongoing drama among friends...And so, my 27th birthday passed, rather quietly, I must say...I probably had more fun at the Stampede and going out for drinks afterwards the week before. But, c'est la vie, I suppose. I did end up going to a Parokya ni Edgar concert in Calgary (which is a Filipino rock band, iconic, if you must..they've definitely been around for about 15 years) which was awesome, even if the crowd wasn't as great as it ought to be for such a great act. But I've learned how to make my own fun, and who cares what everyone else thinks! Yes, even if it was a roomful of Filipinos (and it was a pretty big room too). Ended up going to an afterparty (a couple of relatives helped organize/produce the show) and ALMOST (but not quite) went to party with the band downtown afterwards. Must emphasize the ALMOST part of it.

Dinosaur Provincial Park, July long weekend.

At the Stampede with Ada and Richeille.
Went to see Natasha Beddingfield perform on the Coke Stage.

The Midway at the Stampede Grounds.

A shot of Jaeger with Evelyn, day after my birthday.

Parokya ni Edgar concert in Calgary, Aug 1st. Woohoo!

It's mid August now, still jobless and slightly worried...not necessarily about finding a job but more like deciding on the path to my future. Whatever that may be, which I guess is the bigger question, isn't it? And I've been putting off the decision. I guess I'm just too comfortable at the moment, although I know its looming up ahead. The end of the month, in fact, which is sort of a deadline I set for myself. But then, we all know how I am with self-imposed deadlines: terrible! Que sera, sera, as they say in Spain. Or, the Filipino version: Bahala na! :P
