hm.

I don't know how I feel about this job.

I know, complete 180 degree turn from my last post. But I'm 2 days into it, and...I don't know. Before I started the job, I was PA on a commercial shoot. I had more fun on those two days shooting the commercial than I had at my new full-time job. Of course I guess it's all the paperwork and new protocol that I have to learn, but honestly, I don't think I'm cut out working for an actual company. I'm really into the freelance, work the hours you want lifestyle. It's risky, but I love it.

I shouldn't judge just by those two days, but let's just say that I'm glad that it'll be over in February. Maybe I'll feel different in February, but we'll see, we'll definitely see. I don't want to get too into it on this blog because I'm afraid who might read it. Unfortunately, nothing is ever really private on the interweb, so lots of censoring or cryptic messages might be rampant here.

The plan for AFTER February--that's the good stuff.

Kuya and Kat just came back from their trip to Machu Picchu, and I definitely want to go there before that area is completely desecrated by commercialism. So, I'm going to start saving my money now for that and for the next months in which I might be unemployed. The thing with my new job is that I'm moving to be closer to it. Right now, I leave an hour and a half before I have to really be there because of traffic. I also get home late.

My rent is pretty good ($500/month) for a room in a house, and it's only 15 minutes to work. It'll be worth the trouble. Plus it's by the beach, so that's cool. I don't care for the area too much, not that it's a bad area, but it's very homogenized if you know what I mean. But I'll look at it as an interesting case study.

Rent is my big expense. That's fine. I'm going to try and see if it's feasible to put 30% of what I earn into my savings (designated for unemployment time) and another 30% into another savings account (designated for travel). The rest will be used for food and other things. Going to have to cut down on buying the extraneous (books, dvds, clothes).

Okay, okay, okay. We'll see what happens. This is going to be interesting.
