I took this photo of Pam Q(uinones) back in 2005. I still love her. She's one of my favorite stylists. I was so kiliiiig seeing her at the store last Friday. I like seeing these industry people cos they pick the same stuff for pull-outs. It's interesting to look at them browse the racks of the entire store. ---
Haaay, I love my job. It's tiring but never boring. Every single day is a fun day minus the days you do inventory and delivery. I love the smell of new merchandise, that smell right off the big big box. I love digging into that box and removing the plastic for each item. I find a mix of ugly and pretty things. There are some pieces I will never EVER wear and some pieces that I want to buy right away.

Retail isn't a job for everyone but certainly is something I can stand doing. Yes I miss recitation and that ngrarag feeling everyday in lawschool. But there's something about this job that makes me soo happy. Hopefully I'll be able to do this for the next 2 years. Haaay. I'm high everyday (that kind of feeling when I've a shoot). I get so tired believe me but I looooove it. I like the fact that I can see real people wear the clothes when they're in the fitting room. I like suggesting to them things that they might like. I like putting together stuff for the mannequins or busts (sounds like muse with S) even if I have to follow the recommendations/pegs. I get to practice in short. I do some visual merchadising/PR/mathematics/some accouting/etc.

I like friendly customers of course. I can go on and on with customers with an attitude. Believe me it doesn't hurt to greet back when the salesladies say "Good morning/afternoon/evening maam". I've learned that money can't buy you style... and can't buy you courtesy. These are simple things and I don't understand why people have an attitude and just try to walk away when you greet them. Medyo bastos yun. I don't care if you can buy the whole store, manners lang po.

P.S. I'll do another list of "10 people you meet in retail". Let's see in which category you belong. :)
