The vlog that never was

Never wake a sleeping monster.

I maniacally type this away in the early hours of the morning because someone from the other side of the world woke me up to ask me for something I already did two days ago. Irritated, annoyed and sufficiently motivated to throw a morning hissy fit, I create this blog.

I have recently been thrown a few juicy bones by life. I’m currently typing away in a hotel room in Lima, Peru where I’m staying for a few weeks trying to make a difference in this highly unappreciative world. I’ve been accepted to the IBM Corporate Service Corps program and in partnership with the Peace Corps, I’m spending a few weeks in Lima to create a tool that could help the country with their national volunteering initiative.

To properly document the experience, the intent was to use video and vlog. I, however, could not put my make up on long enough to stay visually appealing and shoot some moving pictures.

The intent was to shoot video as soon as I landed and call it ‘Touchdown Lima’. But after a 30 hour flight from Manila with tasteless airplane meals, all I can muster up was a short scene going down the escalator lipstick-less and pretending I still had sanity.

Pffft went the vlog…
