Last Friday was a drag. We had a boring training on GIS (Geographic Informations Systems), a mix of specialized software and data that allows linking locations on a map with information about those locations.

I had no idea why was I being sent to attend the said training, all I know was I had to or else I would be in big trouble. What did I learn? Aba, ewan!  Seriously, I learned a lot – things that were new to me – gaya nalng na there are three types of geographic coordinate systems namely ; the well known-longitude/latitude, UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) and State Plane.  I don’t wanna bore you with things that don’t interest you, so look nalang sa mga litraks na itech:

Saturday, I went to Jackalope market. In Santa Fe, Jackalope is a home and garden shopping destination that is considered one of the top five attractions visited by the over-900,000 tourists to Santa Fe , NM each year . I went there to get something for my e-mom. I’ve never been to this amazing market before, pero imperness, kakaiba sya ha.

Do you know how much those decor glasses cost? 30 – 60 bucks a piece! Ngeks! Ang mahal!

Dito mismo, ginawa nila ang mga ito.

And I am super uber in love with this sign. Haller! Sa atin kasi, pag nakabasag ka, you have to pay for it. Dito hindi! Parang sinabihan ka na, feel free to make basag. No worries! :D Basag spree dineh!

The next day, we went to the mall para bumili ng ilalagay sa balikbayan box. Ito ang outfit ng lola nyo. Huy ka, galing thrift store ang shoes at skirt ko. Bonggacious di ba? Kung may ukay-ukay diyan sa atin, meron din thrift store dito. :D

Diyahe naman kung bibigyan namin ng damit galing thrift store ang aking mga kafatid, di ba? Sa akin nalang yun! I love thrifting kahit noon pa.

Meanwhile, sa loob ng mall, ito yung one of the examples of child exploitations. Haller, ang hirap kaya tumayo na di gumagalaw noh! Kawawang mga bata. Saan kaya ang mga parents ng mga ito? Recession na tlaga, kahit yung mga chikiting have to work to make ends meet.

Si Sean, my cute nephew, wants to go to the Philippines. This is the cheapest and the easiest way in order for him to get there. Hihihi. Kasa-kasama niya ang blender. Hahaha.
