Exactly one year ago, I purchased this right hand ring:
I purchased it as a commitment right (to myself, no less) that I will do whatever it takes to move up career-wise and of course, as a little birthday treat. Just to let you in a little about what happened 2 days before my birthday last year — I got (professionally) dumped. I didn’t get the promotion I was working really hard for. I’m not the type of person who would take things too hard but trust me: it was that ugly, painful, and slightly traumatic.
365 days after getting dumped, I’m now addressed as Ms. Ramos (LOL) because I’m already a manager. I’ve moved out of the outsourced industry early this month and I’m now working as a distribution manager for a highly successful newsletter publishing group. I won’t lie to you — getting here was difficult but insanely fun. As a birthday special, I thought I’d write about something I believe I’m pretty good at: what it’s like to be a workaholic-slash-giving career advises (surprise!).

Saturday = Phoebe’s indulgence day. After having breakfast at Army Navy with my former boss M, B, and H, I got my hands, feet, and hair pampered like crazy. While I’m still contemplating if I should get my hair volume rebonded (any salon/stylist recs?), I’m fine with my monthly dose of this:
IMHO, this is one of the safest and most sulit (my hair length and thickness only requires one vial) hair treatments available here in MNL. Most salons offer it even the lower end ones (say Index Salon) although be wary because I heard that this can already be tampered.
Post-siesta, I found myself in the heart of the Makati shopping district with these at hand:
