Yes. I don't have enough. It dawned to me this morning when I was rummaging my closet for a decent attire for my last day of driving school. My staple items would be shorts, skirts, and dresses, but I couldn't wear any of them as I had to obey the proper attire and my only 2 tights were still dirty as I used them for last 2 sessions already.
So I found this old khaki baggy cropped pants. Since I dont wear t-shirts, I paired it with a jersey kimono-ish blouse and black gladiators. I looked really silly but that is the best my wardrobe can provide given only I had 30 minutes to prepare for leaving because I woke up late [what's new].
Then for the next 3 hours I drove bearing the totally unfamiliar feeling of sitting behind the wheel rambling past the discriminating buses, jeepneys and all the vehicles along EDSA. I enrolled for a 7-hour refresher hoping I can confidently drive in the next 3 months. As I finally park for sign off, I realized I need more, yet I could not quantify how much more I need.
Then I thought, maybe I should have dressed better so confidence comes from within. LOL. Who am I kidding?! Thing is, I don't have enough clothes for days like today. Why couldn't I be comfy in jeans?!

I have to blog this!
Welcome me back to blogging! Starting a clean slate, starting a new blog.
Anyway, I was a commuter today. I am overweight and my 'standing' time today was beyond my normal range. I was standing and walking the whole time, under the freaking heat of the sun and engulfing the effin' pollution in Manila. It's like 100 degrees outside plus humidity.
All these whining because I had no choice. It's crap when you have no options and its crappier if you are left with the crappiest experience being sweaty and smelling like the sun [ walking under its heat, in search of the cab, while feeling the lube in your butt after having a rectal exam.] Phew!
What's nice was, I sat beside this lady in the train endorsing her diamond peeling (prounounced 'Feeling') services to me. Commendable personality. Well, quite a relief actually, since talking to her meant disregarding my adamant silent cursing for the entire expedition. I didn't buy the home-service diamond peeling offer her company does but I was kinda bought with the thought of Obagi [and how I really want to visit Japan].
More to highlight my day was my first dining-alone moment in KFC! I was so hungry I couldn't care at all. I also visited the malls attached to the train stations I went to. To top my ultimate commuter experience off, I bought corn on the cob from the sidewalk vendor on my way home!
Went straight to the shower and made extra scrubbing to my feet. I was only wearing my Ipanema's and I feared that my not-so-pretty feet would become err, not pretty at all!
Oh I am superficial! So superficial!
