WHAT? NO WORK LIFE BALANCE?

Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I last updated this blog, mostly because I was too busy with my food blog (if you have time you should definitely check that out!)

So what has been up with my life?
Nothing too dramatic, you know, just kinda quit my first full time job ever. *GASP*
I know, I know, I've only worked there for 1 year, why quit so quick??
BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY HATED THAT PLACE!

Ok, let me calm down *take a deep breathe*

Let me start from the beginning ...
When I graduated from college, I started my first job ever at a department store as sales manager (OH LALA, GLAM ... NOT).

Let's be honest, a 21 year old, who's fresh out of college getting the position as a sales manager for a reputable department store does sound pretty sweet at first! Before I started, I was super excited about this new chapter of my life, nothing will ever be the same, I will be working class women making decent amount of salary, YAY! LIFE IS GOOD!

When I first started training for the position, I had SO much passion and enthusiasm, ready to conquer the world! I always had one question that I kept asking myself "Why does everyone else seem so miserable and negative? I LOVE MY JOB!" That lasted for about ... 3 months, then reality kicks in.
Once training period was over, I started to realize why everyone around me acted the way they did. There were always so much work!! Not just your work, but other people's work as well. Since we were a team, we all had to pretty much finish other people's work.
That's not even the most important part, the most important part was, I was miserable!
For a whole year, I didn't get to hang out with my friends, I didn't get to do anything fun, because when I'm off at home (Which are normally weekdays when other people are working), I just want to stay home and relax because I am too tired from work.
When everyone else is celebrating the holidays, I'm working 12-14 hours a day >.<

Then I said, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
I'm too young to have to sacrifice my life for work!
There are so many places I want to go, so many friends I want to see, so many holidays I want to spend with my family, but because of this job, I can't!
I was making decent money, but the only thing I could do to celebrate my paychecks was to shop online. I was not interested in shopping in stores at all! The only time of the day when I can relax is when I get home, after shower, right before bed.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved what I did, I just didn't love the hours that I had to put into doing it, I also did not like the people who didn't do their share of the job, which at the end we all had to do.

So, that's when I decided, retail might not be for me.
If you are a family oriented person, who loves to spend time with friends and family, retail might not be for you either.

Alright,
That's it for now,

Till next time!
Love,
Vicky

INTRODUCING ... Adulthood

Ever since I was a child, I have been dreaming about becoming an adult, dreaming about waking up in the morning to go to work instead of school.
It must be super cool being an adult! （≧∇≦）
When will I graduate and start working?
Well, it happened before I knew it!

After graduation, after working my first real job, I finally understood what adults mean when they told us "aw, I wish I was in school again!" Or "I wish I was your age and never grew up."
Turned out, adulthood is not all shopping and traveling, in fact, it is very little of that. For most of the times that I'm awake, I'm either working, or preparing myself for work the next day.
ESPECIALLY working in retail, simply means "no more holidays!" "no more weekends!" and "definitely no nine-to-five".Reunions and getting together with the ladies seems almost impossible!

I mean don't get me wrong! Adulthood is not all bad, you get to stay out late! You get to spend your own money and travel with you BFFs (when all of you finally work out a time that you can take vacation at the same time -.-)

As we grow older, we gain more freedom from our parents, but we loose that freedom to work and reality.
As we grow older, we might not have the responsibilities from school and homeworkers, but we are preoccupied by work.
As we grow older, we start to think about all the shoulda, coulda, wouldas.
As we grow older, we want to go back to being a kid!

I guess we are just never satisfied huh? (⌒-⌒）

What should I write about next? My job?

'Till next time, be inspired!
ViCKAAAY

It's been a while.

It's been a while since I updated my blog,
I thought that this would be the perfect place for some of my thoughts,
sometimes I think to myself that I want to be a writer, so I can write down some of the inspirational things that I think of randomly,
sometimes I wish I was a painter, so I can paint all the beautiful thoughts that that cross my mind,
and other times, I wish I was a film director, then I can make some of my wild thoughts into movie and show people who I really am.

Time passes so quickly, I can't believe that in exactly 2 months, I will be graduating college.

Right now, it's a little to late to think, tomorrow I will come up with a better post :)
Goodnight world!
