It is amazing how I can suddenly realize that I haven't been online since at least a few days and have not much more than the vague feelings of guilt at not getting back to some people as negative reactions. The last few days have been filled with pretty happening things, so I guess that explains it.
First off: INTERNSHIP: SUCCESS! Hello, nice shiny formulaic confirmation letter that will hopefully be a bit of needed polish to my still quite average CV! All in all, and considering all my bitchery along the way, I remain confident that this internship was the right thing to do. Sure, it would have been nice to have actually been in the ad department like I wanted to in the first place, but I learned a lot in the PR department regardless, and it's not like knowing my stuff in this area will hurt my prospects. It's good to know that it's an area I could be good in, even if it might not be The One Job to rule them all. And the lessons in "Don't fucking underestimate the menial work.... oh you did, did you? Damn, that was stupid" smarted a bit, but ultimately? Were worth gold.
This didn't stop the fact of my last actual day being pretty lamesauce, because THEY FUCKING FORGOT IT WAS MY LAST DAY laaaaaaaaaaaaaawl and here I thought I was being pretty damn obnoxious in mentioning how often I was gonna be gone soon but uh, apparently not! So I ended up eating deliciously lunch all on my lonesome after waiting a bit for the lunch invite that never came ahahaha oh man, the "out of sight, out of mind" adage really was true, wrt to me not being at the PR floor anymore. They all seemed a bit ashamed after they found out though, and I got a chocolate "gold medal" from one of the staff, and multiple invitations for lunch the last week I am back in BKK. The unofficial feedback I got from the P' who supervised my weekly bank advertisement analysis of being "pretty much the best intern we've had so far who was doing this" was a welcome ego-boost, ngl.
AND NOW I AM IN CHIANG MAI, and it is awesomeness concentrated. I love being in Ma's gorgeous and airy house, our days are filled with joy and fun and I feel like a happier, prettier and all-round better person when I spend time here. I mean, I also get an added kick of slight self-loathing when I actually see myself in the nice lighting here, but it is at least the type of ".......jesus christ, I actually look like THIS??" that gets you out and about to do something about it, not the "I will lock myself in my room and binge-eat now :((" unproductive kind. Tomorrow we will be spending the day at the fitness studio, and I will have my first Pilates class! Man, I will be so screwed :D Good thing today was ~*SPA DAY*~ though, Andy bought Ma a hardcore birthday pampering session that we managed to whittle down a bit, because seriously? FIVE HOURS AT THE SPA? Seems a bit too much. We ended up doing a steam session, followed by a herbal scrub (tamarind and some herbal salt), an oil massage (some kind of floral oil.. Ylang-ylang), a Thai massage session AND a hair spa (kaffir lime treatment oh yes).
MMMMMMMMH DECADENCE ♥

Date: 2009-09-12 05:56 pm (UTC)Pilates IS hard. Trufax. I wish I exercised more, but probably so does everyone lolll.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-09-14 11:56 am (UTC)I find that I can only exercise when I am forced to actually go and appear at the gym. I like the end results, obvs., but oh my will power is too week to get myself going most of the time XDD FOR SHAME, FOR SHAME. What did you do when you exercised? Cardio? Running?

Date: 2009-09-14 10:25 pm (UTC)Oh yes, that is right! You will be a REAL PERSON by then, won't you. ;)
Hahhh I also have weak willpower. I'unno, when I go to the gym--which I only do when I'm at school, as school gym membership is free \o/, usually just chill on the elliptical machines or treadmills and then do stretches and situps and stuff. I'd like to get back into dancing, though, which I did for a few years. This summer has been no exercise, though, because that ankle I twisted the day I had to post my BB was STUBBORN and lingered. *glare*

Date: 2009-09-17 06:11 pm (UTC)I will be a Real Person still tenaciously clinging to her fake person life, oh man THAT IS FO' SURE :D
Oooh, you danced? Ballroom or Latin? And boo, your ankle! Hope you feel better soon DD: Oh man, that BB posting day sure was eventful, eh? Ahahaha, how glorious it is just be to able to stare back at it in retrospect ♥
(no subject)
Date: 2009-09-18 02:20 am (UTC)LOL I'm never letting my fake person life go. Real person life is boring!
Ahahaha, neither! I danced modern dance--pretty sure y'all have that over in exotic Europe ;)--and also tap for a short while. And it's pretty much healed by now, it's just meant I haven't been able to move around as much as I would have liked, but oh well. And nooot exactly lol it's still pretty much a blur of horror and computer problems in my mind XDD but I am pretty glad it's over and it never has to be My First BB again :DD

Date: 2009-09-18 02:51 pm (UTC)Ooooh, so you were a true ~artiste~ then! Did you have like, full body suits and bits of cloth to wave around for your routines (as you can see I am digging deep into my box of probably grossly incorrect cliches here :DD HURFDURF) Tap dancing sounds awesome and a way to get fit fast lol I get exhausted just by watching routines sometimes XD
I REMEMBER THE OVERPOWERING TIREDNESS AS IF IT WERE JUST YESTERDAY. OH WAIT THAT'S BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS TIRED lolol o self
