crazy crazy week
pictures are the new words.
The other day, Mom dragged us all out of bed for some yummy Fuddruckers breakfast, since she was too lazy to cook.
Next thing you know, Debbie and her family drop by for breakfast too. So did Ton's Dad, and a whole bunch of people we were acquainted with. WOAH!!!
The resto had these lovely huge mirrors all around... and there was this one mirror that had a really funny message.
It said, "Fuddruckers mirror makes you always look beautiful.... EAT NOW!"
Goes to show how vanity can totally distract people from eating. =) Hehe. Good advice really.
After breakfast, me and my sister stopped by Costa Coffee next door for some of their new Chocolissimo.
 
Then we hit Bahrain mall and Marina Mall for one mega shopping spree!!!
 
 
 
shopping is love.
I got this lovely brown jacket from Promod which cost 2000+ bucks if you convert it to peso. Also aviator shades from Studio 1 and a gorgeous white bag. Maricon got this breathtaking little black dress that's just soooo sexy from Peacock, plus a pair of dark blue and red chucks. Gabby got a cute pair of yellow Chucks from Giordano too... and I'm so glad that she's a size 37, so we can share! One of the perks of having two sisters who have the same size as you is that we all share the same closet! We also did some shopping for the people we love. =)
Oh I didn't know that Mischa Barton endorsed Accessorize! I love her!!!
Then yesterday... we headed to Seef to buy Debbie's gift... and did some shopping too at The Body Shop, MANGO and ZARA!!! I adore Mango's winter collection. And I'm so glad that despite my weight gain, I still fit in a size small! My Mom bought me this top that makes my boobs look big! Big boobs in a top are always nice.
I also love Zara. And I got this lovely black cropped bolero, and a cropped hooded green jacket.
A girl's gotta have bug eye shades for that extra star factor!
I love spending Christmas hols here! My parents spoil me to death! I so so so so love them! It's so much fun to be a girl I tell you. As I'm typing this, I'm getting all giddy over the new stuff I have and the stuff I still plan to get.
My birthday's in a couple of hours... I hope more people spoil me. =) ******* p.s- I already have Maybelline's dream matte foundation and aviator shades. I still wouldn't mind new shades though. I can't get enough! p.p.s- Ruby Booby! Post your wish list on your blog too! I miss you terribly Nilangga! =p ******* EDIT> more Christmas fashion loot!!! Oh.... and more BIG SHADES!!!! =D
My new mantra is- MANGO everyday. Everyday okay!!!! MANGO is true love. Merry Christmas all!

kids say the darndest things!
I can't get over the fact that my baby sister is 9 years old and is capable of sensible conversation.
"You know Ate, I have never met a person like you my whole life. You don't want to go out because you have a PIMPLE? Hello? What's wrong with you?"
And it's so weird how she likes asking questions about my love life. So I tell her about the boy who broke my heart, and joys of all joys, she gives him one verbal slap in the face for me.
"Oh Ate... That's too bad. But don't worry...
All boys are stupid anyway."
Haha. Right on! Kids will conquer the world I tell you.
Oh oh oh...while looking through my old pictures... I chanced upon my ickle self all of them 18 years ago.
she grew up to be a hot hot HOTTTTT chick she did. ***************** p.s- Starbucks HongKong has a new drink out. The Gingerbread Latte. I'm guessing it'll be a matter of time before this drink hits Philippine shores. But considering the fact that the drink was anything but delicious... then again, maybe not. It tasted NOTHING like gingerbread dude! It was pure GINGER. No bread. Nada. It tasted so spicy, kinda like beryani. So just in case this drink appears on your Starbz menu, (from the bottom of my concerned- for- your- wallet heart, i advise you) DO NOT ORDER it. remember- you read it here first.

sunshine land
I am now in my parents' house, where there's always yummy yummy food on the table, and in the fridge. =) While I'm typing this,I'm on the verge of finishing a HUUUGE roast beef burger, along with a whole plate of spaghetti. There's an apple pie and a sandwich waiting for me too.
And it's 10:30 pm!!!
And to think, I had lasagne, beryani, grilled tomatoes, lambchops and chicken for lunch!
I'm going paranoid! At the apartment, I normally only eat twice a day. Breakfast and what I call "linner." I'm usually done with my last meal before 6pm, give or take instances where I surrender to midnight binges and my housemates' occasional cheesecake cravings.
My Mom told me earlier, "Omygod! You're so skinny. Your shoulders look like hangers. And you've got the tiniest build compared to your sisters."
*Note- I'm the eldest.
She then taps me on the back and goes, "Never mind. We'll fix it. Have a burger."
Whoever thinks that McDonalds is the culprit for those extra pounds you gain in a month, is verrrry wrong. Living in a house like mine, works just as well.
**************
I'm also in the house where you can consume as much alcohol as you want, but where cigarrettes are strictly forbidden. Thought I could handle it, and I am trying my very best to. But my chest hurts, and I'm having difficulty breathing. I can't help thinking that I could die any moment because of smoking's withdrawal symptoms. My entire system's going mad I tell you. Every cell's screaming for nicotine!
chants to self. "it's all in the mind. it's all in the mind.."

all i want for christmas
To save myself from getting crappy presents that end up taking space in my cupboard (i.e- NEVER being used)... Here's my Christmas wish list for those who care. (By the way, my BIRTHDAY falls on Christmas day) Be nice naman to me. I only get ONE present per person once a year.
It's free to dream, so let's start with the expensive ones.
*rubs hands. licks lips*
1) iPod Nano. =) I already have a mini... but well, I WANT A NANO!!! It's so sleek and immaculate looking. I wouldn't mind an iPod video too though. hehe.
2) A flash disk. My 512 MB one won't friggin' work with my laptop.
3) Shu Uemura Depsea Perfect Water-in cake Foundation. I tried it and it's muthafucking good! I will worship anyone who gets me this.
4) A Palm Z22. Just because I'm into gadgets right now.
5) A bag from Nine West or MANGO. Something big enough to fit all my stuff in for school.
Now with that done... here's my list for you cheap skates.
6) An alarm clock that has a SUPER POWER alarm! So I'll never get to miss an 8:30 am class EVER again.
7) Aviator Shades. This is one gift I wouldn't mind getting loads of. I love love LOVE shades!!! Please get me one in any style, any color. As long as they're big. There's nothing like big shades to make you feel like a star I tell you.
8) Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. Maybelline gel smooth foundation in sand will do too, BUT I want the Dream Matte one sooo badly.
9) Cropped denim jacket. Any color, as long as it's not white or gray. (I fit perfectly in a size small)
10) White, black, or blue rubber flip flops with a wee bit of a heel for that extra height. If not the one from Havianas =), the pair from Kamiseta will do. I'm a size 37/ 7 by the way.
11) An already stuffed bean bag. Or a big floor pillow. Any color, but green would be great.
12) A diary that comes with a padlock or basta a lock. Like those things I used to keep in grade school.
13) Anything from Penshoppe's Dorm Gear collection, or inner wear tops from Bench_Body. (think camisoles)
14) A University of the Philippines jacket in my size.
15) A white halter bikini. Or a candy colored one that looks like this.
16) Board shorts.
17) A perfect white, fitted t-shirt. I can never get enough.
18) "Eleven Minutes" by Paolo Coelho. "The Valkyries" too, by the same author.
19) "The Fashionista files: Adventures in Four Inch Heels and Faux Pas" by Karen Robinovitz and Melissa De La Cruz. (It's available daw in Powerbooks).
20) A big fashion belt that goes with anything.
21) A cologne set. I don't care much for brands, just make sure that they all smell like "bagong ligo." And not all flowery. *gag*
22) Hoop earrings. Big ones... but not TOO BIG. In silver or white gold. Pwede rin yung made out of surgical steel. I'm not THAT picky.
23) Lindt chocolates with pistachios. I also like Guylian chocolates. =) I also adore apple pie cookies, coffee crumble ice cream, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and Jack's Loft blueberry cheesecake. Give me any of these, and I'm one happy, fat kid who'll love you for eternity.
24) A whole bunch of blue and black ballpens. I keep on losing my pens kasi. No particular brand. I just don't want the kind that makes your hands go all inky when you write. Throw in a stapler too. I need one. hehe.
25) Oil paint. The type that comes in a box of tubes. I wanna go back to my artistic self and hold a brush again. No specific brand. Mura lang yun ah!
26) The latest Hed Kandi album. As much as possible... yung original. =) Pero kung hindi, ok lang rin.
27) New Pink CREAM SILK. I love that stuff. NOTE: LOVE IT... BUT I DON'T WANT IT FOR CHRISTMAS!!! If you're totally out of ideas... you can still get me this though... but a five month supply of conditioner! (im editing this because it's extremely popular with my kuripot friends). They take advantage of your kababawan I tell you.
28) Annnnnd since I don't have a boyfriend who would've been a great substitute... (Bitter nga ba?) I'd appreciate a small pillow to hug, lean on, during loooong bus rides or trips out of town. Worn out na si Debbie sa pagiging "pillow" ko eh! Hahahaha. iloveyou bum bum webbie.
29) Titos and titas' safest bet with me is money. =) I always appreciate cash. So to my kinakapatids... tell your folks THAT. haha.
*Or you can always treat me to a cup of coffee anywhere, give me flowers, or write me a cheesy card and make bola about how I'm such a good friend yada yada yada. Or..... take me boxing or wall climbing with you. Sagot mo nga lang yung fee. ;p
see? i'm not a hard person to please.
Will be leaving the country on Friday (16th). Friendster message me, comment, email, whatever... and tell me what you guys want for pasalubong!

all that glitters
I spent 6 hours in Starbucks last night and stuffed myself silly with three drinks for this.
 I'm now swearing off Starbucks for awhile and going back to my Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf addicted self. That friggin' planner cost me 2000+ bucks worth of coffee! And I ordered everything with whipped cream!!! *am feeling really really really fat right now.

BAKBAKAN NA!!!
That's Josh's hand!!!
URCC vii held at the Araneta Coliseum. My first time in a strictly all men's world. My wallet bled cause the tickets were effing expensiv-o. Still, every peso was worth it- what with all the eye candy! =) Cosmo centerfold models were everywhere! I think I spent more time looking around at the audience than at the ring.
The music rocked too!!!
Oh, oh oh... and HE was my "date" for the night. =)
The boy who breaks hearts left and right....
Everybody sigh now...
and
Envy me Envy me!!!
It was a good night... Ring fights. Bets. A rock concert. Boys everywhere. Starbucks. Alcohol. annnnnd looong talks.
Like I said... my wallet bled. But it was all worth it.
oh yeahboi... it was...
By the way..... we're JUST friends.... so make no mistake with your akalas.
haha. showwwwbizzzzz.

Just one thing
I'm happier now. Bilis!!! Strange how it had to take what happened last night to make me feel better. Still, I'm not banking on it. I've become to be a bit pessimistic about the future, so... well... I'll leave things as they are... and not hope for too much... lest I get hurt again.
p.s- my ex suddenly ym-ed me today. he makes my blood boil... and I was just plain mean to him. I can be such a bitch sometimes, but only with good reason.
the disappearing act resumes.

!!!!!!
Mood- horrible
Music- Vendetta Red cried Rape on their date with destiny (Vendetta Red)
It's been confirmed.
I have been diagnosed with both unipolar AND manic depression.
Things haven't been going well, and yesterday was the limit. I'm in deep shit, and I only have a 50/50 percent chance of getting my ass out of my own mess. I LOATHE that prof!!! He just won't lighten up and he's out to make my life hell. Bah bah bah!!! After what he did, I have come to the conclusion that he did not have a life when he was in college! I hate him I hate him I hate him! I can just launch into an entire litany of all the swear words I can think of to describe him! I am thisclose to totally losing it.
He'll go to hell he will.
Anyhow...
Symptoms- The feeling of sadness does not go away* you don't feel like doing alot of things you used to like to do* little things make you lose your temper* your sleep pattern changes- you start sleeping alot more* your eating habits change- you've lost your appetitie* you feel restless and tired most of the time* you get irritated often* you have a negative attitude a lot of the time* it's hard to make up your mind* you forget lots of things, and and it's hard to concentrate*
Had a drink with one of my good friends last night. It was good. I needed it. Something she said made me laugh.
"Alam mo, bilib ako sayo. Maski na you're going through so much right now, you still keep on smiling."
I laughed because it was so ironic. But yeah, I STILL smile because I'd rather feel ugly than LOOK ugly. When you LOOK ugly, the whole world knows something is wrong... and that's one thing I do NOT want.
I've also been swearing alot too. Like when I drop something, when I'm stuck in traffic, when I'm late for class, when I'm in a looong queue, when my dsl ceases to serve its purpose, when I'm starving and there's no food in the larder.... little things. The other day, I shouted "Motherf*cker!!!* to no particular person in the corridor on my way to class cause I forgot my binder. And everyone just stared and all conversations stopped.
Yeah. yeah. As you were.
Anyway, maybe I'll disappear for awhile... and return when things are better and I feel all sunshine-ey again.

siiiiiiigh
Mood- frustrated
Music- Closing Time (Semisonic)
Was stalking friendster earlier, and joys of all joys.
My ex and his gf are getting married!
First things first, I'm far from bitter really. And puhleese... marriage is the LAST thing on my mind. Surprisingly, I'm sincerely happy for the both of them. DESPITE the fact that I was once fooled big time, accused of being a boyfriend stealer, and even received death threats through text. It was so long ago, and the girl and I are friends now... so all's cool between us.
What makes me feel all sad though, is the fact that if other people can be happy, why can't I too? I'm sure I've been real good this year, and I deserve my share of happiness.
Asking too much? I don't think so.
Anyway, I met up with my guy cousin today. I haven't seen him in three years, and all we did during my five hour break was talk and talk. As usual, the minute we started talking about love and all that shit, he asked me the dreaded question most single girls hate being asked.
"SOOOOO....... do YOU have a boyfriend?"
*reese rolls eyes and begs the ground to just swallow her up*
"Uhm.... (looks at the floor), No. I don't have a boyfriend."
"Yeah right. YOU???? Whatever!"
"REALLY! I don't."
"Talk to the hand. whatever."
Tell me now,
WHY IS THAT SO BLOODY HARD TO BELIEVE?
Everytime a conversation comes to that, I always start to think maybe there's something seriously wrong with me. I get this mental picture of me turning into an old maid and advertising my lonely self at lovematch.com, going the desperate way and signing myself up for speed dating.
Is it MY fault that all the guys who are long term boyfriend material turn out to be total jerks?
Is it MY fault that the others, are, well, NOT even boyfriend material?
Why oh why are the good ones always taken?
And the rest turn out to be gay?
I hate the world. I'm going to bed.

gaydom
Mood- hyper
Music- What I didn't know (Athenaeum)
The Starbucks planner race is on! And I'm STILL 11 stickers short. I'm so jologs talaga. I always seem to want whatever's uso... AFTER I promised myself I wouldn't spend on such useless things.
haaay.
Anyway, I've been texting almost all the people I know- telling them that we should meet and catch up over some Starbucks coffee. ;)
smart asses.
they all saw straight through me.
"You haven't talked to me for over a year. Why now? Gusto mo lang ng Starbucks stickers noh?"
im a user.
an abuser.
a spoilt brat.
a spend thrift.
i just realized.
***************************
Christmas is sooo in the air. Makati was so crowded with people dashing in and out of malls for some Christmas shopping. Greenbelt looked so lovely with all those lights. All those Christmas trees. Green and red everywhere. Christmas songs playing on the radio.
If only everything was this beautiful 365 days of the year.
Anyway, I FINALLY got my plane ticket! I am out of here on December 16 to be exact! I'm going home! Couldn't be happier I swear. Zara! Mango! Miss Selfridge! Applebee's! Fat city! Here I come!!!!
Saw "Just like Heaven" in Glorietta.
I want love like that.
when you just find yourself falling.
no fear.
no questions.
just like heaven.
all real.
=)
I love Reese Witherspoon more! I always seem to love stars who have the same names as myself. (Christina Aguilera, Christina Ricci, and now her). But really, that Reese can act. She's not exceptionally beautiful, but her beauty just grows on you. I love all her movies.
Oh oh oh, and I FINALLY got my tickets to the URCC vii!!!
