It's Salary Time

This one's a late post again. haha. but oh well, I madly want to post about this one.

Great news:
1) I make my own money already!!! I actually got my first salary last Wednesday.
and in 15 days, my starting salary is 1,710 php. I work as a piano teacher now. I can't wait for the next pay day because I believe I can earn up to 2,500 already since I have many students now.

But here's the con--- my mom doesn't want me to teach during school days. But whatever, I'm still gonna work during school days. College schedule can be hectic but I can manage B-)

2) Since I got a new compact SLR that I always use--- Dad got a lil' bit mad at me because I ignore my other SLR now. But I guess he's just being reasonable since he also bought me 18-200mm lens for it. This time I'll be sticking to my Canon SLR again despite it's bulkiness. I barely tried out the lenses, so Imma give it a shot soon :)


The first thing that went up my mind when I received my salary was "What will I do with this money?". I really wanted to treat my friends some coffee or food. But I usually finish work by 5:45pm with a full load schedule. I think I'll just set aside a date with them so I can settle my day off also.

So during that day, Philip and I decided to eat at Tokyo Tokyo. We ordered a Sumo meal, which is good for two persons and consists of pork tonkatsu, shrimp and vegetable tempura, 2 red ice teas, and unlimited rice. Yum!

Mixed Colors On A Date

Ever since I arrived here in the Philippines, this is my first time to dress up again. I usually go out wearing gym clothes--- shorts and a simple tank top with a hoodie on top plus those sneakers.
 
But hey, I'm back to my own city and it's time to go back to making statement outfits instead of wearing random clothes. Oh and yeah, it's actually a date day with boyfriend so I was in the mood to wear something unique :)
 
If you  noticed, I just reinvented this outfit from my previous Lookbook post here 
which one is better?
 


My day went like this:
by 8:30am, I went to the gym. Unfortunately, it was still closed 'cos it opens at 9. So I got something to drink at 7-Eleven. I was craving for a soda but I'm on a diet!!! So I grabbed a can of bubbly Coke Zero and read an e-book for 30 minutes until the gym opened

My gym workout totally tortured me today. 45 minutes cardio- WARM UP ONLY. 30 minutes of squats and leg exercises and my favorite 30-minute workout for the abs. I really hate those leg exercises but I need it! I lost 4 pounds ever since I started going to the gym, I need to lose the rest of holiday weight :D

After that hardcore workout, Philip and I watched Oblivion. I missed him so much. After 3 weeks of not seeing each other, it feels so great to be with him again. :>

Then we went to Hainanese Delights for lunch. This man destroyed my diet. But it's fine since I can still work for it :)

I ordered my favorite "Take the Cake" which consists of fried radish tofu while he ordered Hainanese chicken. We shared on a plate of rice because we get unlimited rice with that plate. The waitresses did not complain since we're the only ones eating there.

I'm sorry if I took a sloppy picture. I was too hungry to forget to take a picture before we start eating xD

 
 
Please also find time to hype me in Lookbook please
