the real world.

today marks my second day working as a designer for golden abc. staying true to my title, i designed some tops for today. my first assignment was to propose designs that can be used to replace unapproved designs for the june collection. i think 3 tops got apporoved.

aside from this, i measured a couple of initial sample garments that arrived from vendors this afternoon. how fun (yeah, sarcastically). but that beats doing nothing.

after a while, i was already asking the head designer if she had anything for me to do. she said everything was still at "wash test" and they were waiting for the samples to be returned.

so what i did was watch them make spec sheets using microsoft freehand.
i'm wishing csb had taught us how to use freehand na lang instead of gerber. it's not as if all companies can afford gerber.

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits and
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible
As long as I'm alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait till my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
