Come shop! Sales are coming in despite my horrible commitment to this blog lately. Sorry :(. It’s only going to get busier from here because I’m enrolling in the Manhattan GMAT Prep next week. I thought about taking a break from the blog altogether while I study for the next 9 weeks, but I think I can handle a photo or two every week so we’ll stick to that. :) xo
Deciding between Manhattan GMAT Prep and Knewton GMAT Prep.
Setting the wheels in motion – studying for the GMAT is in the works!
There is so much beauty in the simplest of things. Truly! And photography is an enabler of a keen eye.
About to start a movie! This one’s from Lisbon, Portugal.
Come shop! This is available as an 8×12 and so is the photo below this one. :)
When the weather gets nicer, the photos also get nicer. :) There is motivation to go outside. I think it’s time to plan a photoshoot road trip with Miss Sarah Angela. <3
I’m flying out to Montreal for business tomorrow. It’s a 6am to 6pm kind of day – a bit brutal. I remember how much business trips used to excite me. They still do – just not nearly as much as they used to. I bet I can go back to my posts from 2009 and find one of me flaunting my first business trip to Manhattan and proud as ever. I remember being sent on this trip before I even graduated and have barely transitioned from my internship to my full time marketing role. I was in class squealing after receiving the phone call and it was pretty much the best thing ever – I felt like the biggest deal (hahaha). It’s interesting how your sense of accomplishment heightens with experience. Now business trips are just a small deal. :)
When I completed my undergraduate studies, I had my mind set on pursuing my MBA after locking in two years of work experience. Graduating was bittersweet in that I was thrilled by the thought of becoming a part of something greater like the corporate world, but at the same time, couldn’t deny my love for school, for academics, for simply being a student sheltered from the real world by the walls of education. Halfway through, I fell in love with the working world, perhaps got too caught up with my career too quickly that I lost sight of my educational goals and decided that I had no more desire to pursue an MBA. But… after a few recent inspirational conversations with those pursuing their Master’s degree, I’ve changed my mind and am reverting back to the initial plan. I don’t think that there is a better time to pursue more education than in your 20s. Because then by the time you turn 30, all your tools are in order and life really begins. You have the rest of your life to develop your career, raise a family, etc. I feel that education will take a back seat once all of these other life-altering events take place and before you know it, you have a million excuses. So, taking care of it early on is not a bad idea. Plus, opportunity costs have lowered with schools condensing their MBA programs from two years to one year. Brilliant idea. Education is stimulating and I’m exploring.
I continue to be an advocate of Walmart. As a consumer anyway. I know there are criticisms against their business practices but… there is no denying that they are good at what they do. They save us money – who doesn’t want to save money? :)
Also – if you love the Beatles, then you’ll appreciate this! It’s brilliant.
