Pintados Night with Yield Avenue

Pintados Night was an unexpected event for me and my best friend Yen, but since our high school buddy's band (Yield Avenue) will be performing, we decided to check it out.

We were surprised to see this once we entered 8 Corners Restobar. I was expecting that Pintados Night was an event where people with tattoos gather up, but it turned out to be an even where you get to try what it feels like to have a tattoo...real or not.

If you're planning to get a real tattoo, they will use these equipment on you. But there was no way we'd get marked permanently.

Yen got a Japanese character tattoo, while I got something random from the tattoo artist.

We spent the rest of the night watching Yield Avenue perform. They're awesome. ^_^

Then we met up with some high school buddies and of course Yield Avenue!

The Unemployed

It took me a few hours after I got the news that I was being temporarily laid off for the thought to sink in. I was walking away from the building when I suddenly stopped and thought that I was practically jobless. My knees felt a little wobbly after that. I almost thought that I would slowly melt on the sidewalk if I kept still. So I walked home with hundreds of questions in my head.


Today I realized that I was officially an adult ( which is funny I know). When did I start to become so old? Things like these don't bother me this much. I guess it's because I was getting a lot of nothing that I began to seek for a little something. People always want what they don't have right?

So money is still the issue here. I didn't come from a rich family, but I also didn't come from a poor one as well. But why am I struggling so much? I don't want to blame anybody, 'coz in the end I know I just have to accept the way things are. Pointing fingers won't get me anywhere. What's been done has been done.

It would be nice to have some miracle after this dilemma. I mean, I wasn't even able to save up anything because everything just seems to go wrong every time money comes in, so I'll always end up spending. I did not choose this kind of life, and sometimes I'm left to think that we're really not capable of choosing for ourselves at all.

The life of an unemployed is hard to adjust to after having to experience the convenience of having a job. I'm not sure how long I could stay sane without a source of livelihood. But one thing's for sure, I cannot just sit here and wait for something to happen. You always have to take action before you get a reaction, right?

My First Wearable Dress

Now I don't usually wear dresses. But this one is easy to sew, and I'm just learning the basics. Anyway, my best friend and I picked out this fabric, not sure if you like it, but it works for me. The choker I'm wearing was just an experiment, good to know it's useful. 

The hat I'm wearing is a smaller version of a crocheted bobble hat. I made this about a year ago.

Here's a close up.

I finally had time to use my new sewing machine. I hope I can get used to it with more practice..
