what the fuck am i doing in saigon

i want to fall in love with the city. will i?

having not-quite-lost-in-translation moments here. vietnamese english is another hurdle. work had been slow for the first day–isn’t that always the case?

the reason for feeling the blues here in saigon might be attributed to the lack of sunlight in my hotel room. it. sucks.

aleks commented on my location change on facebook: “what are you doing in vietnam?” my answer: “shifting from print media to digital.”

but then i wrote to her personally. “honestly, i don’t know what i’m doing in vietnam.”

 

 

agitated

it’s 2:49 and i’m listless. i guess this feeling always comes along every time i have to leave for a place for an indefinite period. now it’s ho chi minh i’m headed to. yes, i got the job that i was excited about in my previous post. gonna be a new media art director. after five years in the publishing industry, i am going digital. let’s see what happens to me here. i have a positive feeling about this.

been meeting a lot of friends lately. almost every day i have been going out. it’s all good. i can’t write about everything in detail but maybe i will make a list so at least i won’t forget. i enjoyed myself all the while.

1. Lunch with Marian at Ms. B

2. Coffee at Starbucks with Paolo

3. Pho 24 dinner and Adamson Center drinks with LM

4. Zombadings and coffee with Paolo

5. Dance practice at MR’s house with Mar, Marian and Ianne (nasingit lang siya ahehe)

6. Dinner at Crazy Katsu with Enna, Kat, Larie, Prech and Ada

7. Wine at Barcino with Paco

8. Sound tripping in Meetle with Paco (syempre separate pa kahit same night)

then tomorrow, it’s garage’s party at republiq (what to wear? the theme is 80′s bboy –what the hell does that mean for a girl?) thursday may be yoga. friday, i dunno. YES FRIDAY I’M FREE! saturday, probably meet up with reza. sunday, it’s gonna be spent with chiara, et al.

 

trying to squeeze in everyone in this 2 week sched. i feel like a typewriter now.
