I love love love this movie! Never mind that I almost didn't watch it cos I thought I've had enough of these Toy Story movies. We were supposed to watch it on 3D, courtesy of mommy, but we didn't make it to the 3:25 screening to we had to settle for 2D. Anyway, it wouldn't have mattered because it was AWESOME!
What a tearjerker this movie was! I tried stifling my cries that's why I hate watching movies that make me cry in the cinemas- I always get a debilitating headache, trying to hold back the tears. I'm now convinced that toys have feelings, too :P
"The idea is to let go."
- Hamm, Toy Story 2
I've read reviews and most people cried during the last 30 minutes; whereas, I got teary-eyed just a few minutes into it. If I remember it correctly, it was when they tried to make Andy notice them by calling his cellphone. I swear if I were watching here in my room, I would have been bawling already. Good thing it's also filled with light, funny moments, not entirely heavy. My most favorite part to which I can relate to was when Andy brought his toys to Bonnie's. For the last time before he leaves for college, while he introduces them one by one to Bonnie, he plays with them for the last time. He asks Bonnie to promise to take care of his toys because they mean a lot to him and as he walks back to his car, he takes a last look at his toys and says, "Thanks, guys!" Waaaah! I miss my ate who's in NY. She's my Andy and I'm her Woody ☺Although, we're still going to see each other, which reminds me to start saving up for that NY trip so I could see her sooner.
Can't wait to dl this on torrents though I'm actually considering on watching it again on 3D but then again, there's my NY trip I have to save up for and every little peso counts. Toy Story 3 isn't made for little kids, it's made for those who were little kids when Toy Story 1 and 2 first came out, as some sort of closure. Ha. I wanna watch again!!!!!
Happy Sunday, y'all! Daddy's home and instead of eating out for Sunday lunch, daddy will cook his yummy anemic dinuguan. Oh joy!
After Spanish class today, had quick lunch at Pancake House for our weekly dose of chika and then hurried off to Sta. Mesa to meet with daddy and sisters so I could hitch a ride home. While daddy scoured the streets of Banawe for the spare parts he needed, my sisters and I were off to Dapitan.
Various ceramics, woven baskets and many other home stuff- one of those money wastelands, I tell you. AD bought stuff for her house that's starting to look like a home, only after seven months. While I had my sights set on this one:
Adorable, little pink piggy bank ♥ I wanted something bigger but it costs P150. AD would only buy it for me if it cost cheaper, so I got a smaller one for P70. AD was carrying her big vase so she said I pay first for the piggy then she'll give me the money later. Looks like I've been had. Haha. Well, well, well, lookie what we have here...
It's a drove of pigs! I didn't even notice I have three of these already. They look like one, happy family. With lots of moolah, mind you. I was wondering if baby piggy's adopted cos she doesn't have mom and dad's complexion, harhar.
Not yet sleepy and there's nothing good on TV. Will resume with my GG marathon after I'm done with this post. I wish myself lots of luck today. Don't make me miss you too much. Ha. Toodles.

... and much, much more! I reckon this list just goes on and on because there's so much to love about life. Even if it's just the how my teeth are slightly askew or my I suddenly hear a certain song on the radio (even if I have it in my music library, it's a different feeling when you hear it on the radio? Or trying to sing along to some song you don't know the lyrics of) I'm happy that I chose to see things in this perspective. Had tiny buddha asked me this question five years ago, I would have answered, "Bah. Life's a bitch and I want to die." Emo much? Yep, that's me five years ago. So what a relief that I'm a different person today, ya? Have a Happy Friday, y'all! I can almost smell you, my Sunday lunch-out ☺
Home alone on a Sunday afternoon, which is a welcome change from the usual lunch-outs. At least I don't have to take a bath early, I can watch my variety shows, BF/GF (yes, I actually watch that stuff) and the weekly chismis talk shows. And speaking of variety shows, I watched ASAP awhile back and saw Kim Chiu flailing her bones arms, eeeeyuck. Can someone give her something to eat, please!
Anyway, this is a post about my daddy since it's Father's Day today. I sent my daddy a text message earlier to greet him. I was able to talk to him and greeted him again when AD called him on the phone. He was playing mahjong. I'm sad that he's all the way there in the province on Father's Day. Though I think any day can be Father's Day, so we'll just celebrate it next week when he comes home from the province.
I love my daddy ♥ I love mommy and daddy very much but since today is Father's Day, this is about him and how he's been the greatest dad ever. With daddy, it's just that I always feel that my efforts are not in vain. He has always appreciated every little thing that I do. Whenever I used to come home from school with a grade a few points shy of being in the Honor Roll or Dean's List, whenever I show him my latest "work of art", he'll always tell me, "ang galing-galing talaga ng anak ko." Kaya naman I never want to disappoint him that I got a bit hard on myself when I knew I couldn't and wouldn't be a lawyer like he wanted. Though I think he has come into terms with that fact, like I have. Now, I just want to be successful financially to be able to provide them the comforts of life like they have done for us when we were much younger (and actually, up to this very day). He and mommy are the perfect team. And even if mommy's favorite is Vicky, I don't mind and it's okay because I am my daddy's favorite (feeling ko lang) :P
Happy Father's Day, Appa ☺
Top 10 Reasons Why My Daddy is the Greatest Dad Ever:
He taught me my math. He wasn't the most patient teacher there is but still, it was because of him that I memorized the multiplication table. Yes, there was one time when he locked me inside my room and was not allowed to go out until I memorized my tables of 6, 7 and 8. I didn't take that against him. Kahit bobo pa rin ako sa math hanggang ngayon, at least namemorize ko naman ang Table of 2 hanggang 10.
He taught us to eat our veggies. I was actually shocked that not everyone I know eats veggies, because I always thought everyone else's dads made them. I'm just proud that I eat vegetables and I mean, ALL vegetables- even vegetables we didn't even know existed. Of course, as young kids we were iffy but according to my dad, "Papakainin ko ba kayo ng masama." Well, minsan masama ang lasa tulad ng ampalaya pero mabuti naman ata sa katawan.
He gives me extra (and bigger) allowance whenever I would go out malling with my friends. But this was waaaay waaay back when I was in grade school and high school. Or when mommy would only give me P20, he'll give me P100. Ha.
Minsan lang ako makapasyal with daddy and only with daddy and there was this one time when I was in high school when he accompanied me and Vicky to National Book Store in Q Plaza. That was the first day of school and we needed to buy school supplies that we lacked. I saw this pack of Goody headbands that was very pricey (up to this day, mahal pa rin naman ang Goody eh) and I made daddy buy me those. He did. No questions, no conditions. I still keep the packaging in my box.
He makes me ubit whenever we eat hipon, crab or anything that needs extra effort to eat. In Tagalog ata, ubit means himay. Even if I'm already two years and three months shy of being 30, inuubitan niya pa rin ako. Without even asking him to.
He taught me how to use a hammer and a saw and now I am my own handyman. For extra hardy-work, there's Nonoy but I can pound on that nail myself.
He constantly reminds us of our life goals, or lack thereof. We didn't really like those miting de avances which could take hours but I do appreciate them. Of course, I don't want to be grilled as to my life goals and ambitions and this was done more frequently during that time when I was in a semi state of depression, but it was that grilling that made me want to make something out of my life. Until now it seems that I haven't made anything out of myself naman but I'm more determined. Unti pa sigurong determinasyon...
According to a quote I once came across, the most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. And even only for this reason alone, I know I have the bestest father in the world.
He's also the best cook. Never mind na medyo walang aesthetics, after all, lasa naman ang importante. He makes the meanest dinuguan ever.
And have I mentioned that (I think) I am his favorite? Haha. Bwahaha.
Daddy's coming home on Saturday and I'm excited to have our lunch out next Sunday as a family but a bit sad cos we'd still be incomplete. Anyway, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my daddy and all the fathers out there who have actually done some fathering.
Any man can be a father but it takes a special person to be a dad.
Hooray! Already got the stash from AB :D Chocolates + nail polish + May 2010 teen vogue = ♥ ♥ ♥ Got AD to drive all the way to Manila to bring AB's meds to MMR since Nonoy is supposedly sick. Already sleepy and groggy as I type this but I just want to post about my stash and I don't want to go to sleep just yet. Most especially that I don't have class tomorrow and I don't have to wake up at 6 in the morning. Oh joy!
I'm such a happy camper these days. After all, all you have to do is make that decision. I have and I am ecstatic that I did. Had I not made that decision two years ago, I still may be sulking about the sorry state of my life. But I'm different now (I think...), I try to focus on the good stuff. Of course, habits are hard to break and I do occasionally slip back to my old ways but at least I try. And because I've been trying to see the best of the situation for a long time now, I'm soon going to be a bad-ass happy person for real.
Still trying to get the hang of it... Saved the old template though if ever I want to go back to old school template tweaking ☺ This is cool. Finally, I'll get to put those cool gadgets in my blog. Oh goody!
Dahil dumarami at uso ang mga bakla, pati ang panahon nababakla na rin. Harhar. What I mean to say is pati ang panahon confused, kung uulan ba siya or iinit. In fernez, may point naman ang PAGASA- sabi nga naman nila tag-ulan na, hindi tag-lamig. Kaya sa mga reklamador at reklamadora (kasama ako ☺), Shaddap!
It's Friday, weee! Not that it matters in this little world of mine. It's just that Friday means Sunday is just around the corner, woot! Though I think we're having a slight change in our routine- no lunch out this Sunday for us. Instead, it's Saturday lunch for our cousin's house blessing and aunt's birthday. HELLO LECHON! nom nom nom~ Lazily watching the hours go by...
Haven't been tumblring that much lately, busy with other trivial stuff. Harhar. Here are few of the few that I have reblogged
☺ HAPPINESS ☺
and this one, FTW! Seriously, Kristen Stewart ruined Twilight for me. I used to like that book but when I saw the first one, I think I kinda liked it although I already had a slight feeling of dislike towards KStew. But I tried to like her, I swear! There's just something about her that's, umm, unlikeable. The Bella character is already annoying in itself, then add KStew to that- MEGA ANNOYING! So yeah, I definitely belong to this team ↓
{ i do not claim ownership of these images }
Forgive me and my nonsensical, incoherent babbling, I just don't have anything better to do. Or better yet, I decide to not have anything better to do as of the moment. I plan on starting reading Outliers later because I promised my sister, from whom I borrowed the book, that I would be finished with it today. Oha. E hindi pa nga ako nakakapagsimula. Good luck na lang.
Gossip Girl, Chuck, Glee and How I Met Your Mother are off season and in their hiatus, I found me a new series to follow every week. Based on the book Pretty Little Liars, the story is about four teenage girls and the mysterious death of their friend, Alison. Very similar to GG in terms of the anonymous character who seems to know all their secrets.
Inneresting, IMO. I've seen only the first episode but I feel that although it has a similarity to GG, Pretty Little Liars is much exciting because they do actually have a secret to hide. Unlike GG where their secrets are mostly who's-cheating-who, while we have in a murderer in PLL, yo! Ngayon pa lang, naiintriga na ako if those four were responsible for Ali's death and if the anonymous 'A' character is indeed Ali. But if Ali's body had been found and obviously dead, then who's sending these girls messages? Juicy.
What I like about Pretty Little Liars? Eye candies galore!
Episode 2 already available. Will download it in a wee bit. Toodles!
Three women in their mid- and late thirties, pressured by society, themselves and their biology to find a husband before it's too late. It started out as real funny and very relatable (not that I am in mid-thirties, just nearing the Big 3-0 though). Subs were very coherent; ergo, it was easy to understand the flow of the story. But towards the end, I think it was on the 12th or 13th episode, the subs began to not make any sense. Boo. I hate it when that happens.
Lee Shin Young and Ha Min Jae
Ten years apart, with Shin-young being the older one. And in a society like Korea (and in most cultures in the world), an older woman being involved with a younger man is taboo. Although hindi naman masyado halata yung age difference nila. But aside from their age difference, there's also Min Jae's mom to consider. She was totally against this relationship, considering that she may be just a few years older than Shin Young, and to make matters more convoluted, the mom is involved with Shin Young's ex-fiancee. Kagulo!
My favorite scene in this series was when Min Jae tried to win Shin Young back and prepared for her the most romantic setting, tealight candles and all. She almost fell for it but Min Jae just had to destroy the moment by telling Shin Young that her gray hair is showing, or something to that effect. Of course, imbyerna ang lola mo. To make up for it, he showed up at work like this:
He dyed his hair gray/silver! Awww... sweet (and cute) ;)
Kim Boo Ki and Na Ban Suk
Boo Ki is the most successful English interpreter in Korea but in spite of this success, there's one thing she really really REALLY wants that's still out of her reach and that is, to be married. In her desire to settle down, she becomes this raving maniac who stalks her object of affection. Oo nga naman, time is of the essence in this case.
She then meets Ban Suk, an equally maniacal admirer who pursues his object of affection incessantly. Though they're of the same age, their relationship is not one without problems. Ban Suk is a doctor and comes from a wealthy family and his father wants to marry him off with someone much younger and who also comes from a wealthy family. The cheesiest couple ever, hands down. They deserve each other.
Jung Da Jung
The most sophisticated of the three. Unlike her two friends, she is not on the lookout. She was once a doting GF but when she realized that her boyfriend was only using her and never really loved her, she strove to make herself better and richer. More like the noona (older sister) figure of Shin Young and Boo Ki. I am not so sure though whether she has swore off men for eternity or she hasn't found the right one yet.
Again, I swear I could've enjoyed this series more had those pesky subtitles didn't suddenly transform into incoherent babbling. Next: Personal Taste
Run-of-the-mill rom-com. Except maybe that it has Josh Duhamel in it but almost all rom-coms have the cutest man candies in them.
1. When In Rome used the ol' trusty formula for romantic comedies- Cynical Girl swears off men for eternity, suddenly meets Cute Guy and in a split-second they hit it off. Cynical Girl falls for Cute Guy but then finds out that Cute Guy is involved with someone else, and so forth and so on.
2. Modern fairy tale, complete with magic. Although I believe that magic should be left to animated and fantasy movies, I could say that it was fun watching this one. Of course, I wouldn't go on believing that wishing on the Trevi fountain would bring me luck in love. Hmm, come to think of it, Beth (Kristen Bell) didn't throw a coin and make a wish and yet she found reel love.
3. "Kapag guapo may crush sayo, secret admirer ang tawag. Kapag pangit, stalker." ROFL. And this movie just proves that. She avoided and ran from all those weirdos who pursued her, while she didn't do the same when it comes to Nick (Josh Duhamel). Biased talaga ang mundo sa mga magaganda at guapo. Unfair.
4. I love it how the movies can glamorize even the most boring stuff on earth. I can never imagine how being an art curator could be exciting. Every time I pass by those art galleries in malls, those art curators always seem to be bored out of their wits. Well, I don't know if those people are considered art curators. And also, how could one make a career of it?
Long weekend. Independence day holiday. Nothing new for me because I'm always on a holiday. Woohoo! Actually, it's the other way around... we always have work, even on holidays, most especially on holidays. Posting today to blab about my Fantastic Weekend ☺ Independence Day = FREEdom
Woke up pretty early but still arrived late for class because no one could bring me to the train station and it took me a bazillion light years, waiting for an FX going there. I whipped out my prepaid ticket from my bag and got a little disoriented when all the gates had red Xs on them and I was thinking what the hell was happening, were the trains out of order? So I moved in a little closer to the gates and then BAM! there was a little, handwritten sign saying LIBRENG SAKAY. Oh goody! Because it was Independence Day, the government offered the citizens free ride on all railway systems from 5am to 9am and from 3pm to 7pm. What a way to (semi) start your day, right? Even if that free ride would have originally just cost me P15, still nothing beats free stuff ♥ most especially, if it was totally unexpected.
Spanish class from 9 to 12. Afterwards, it was lunch with Joji and Jean. We wanted to try something new, to deviate from our usual Pancake House lunch. So we went all the way to Makati and found ourselves in Greenbelt 5. Jean informed us it was her third anniversary at work and I chanted (of course meant as a joke) "Libre! Libre!" Eh, kumagat ;) Bongga! We opted to eat at Restaurante Pia y Damaso since we were fresh from a Noli Me Tangere discussion in class and we were already salivating for Pinoy cuisine cos we were already talking about that famed chicken tinola in Noli's first chapter. But we didn't order Tinola, haha. Instead, we had the Nga Nga Beef Salad and Pork Belly with Chorizo and Chickpeas ☺ And for dessert and Jean's treat, we had Salvi's Canonigo, The Diablo and Ibarra's Kiss. What a gastronomic delight! If only I could, I would definitely lick my plate clean.
Free ride again going home. And it seems as if I haven't satisfied my heart's, or should I say my tummy's, desires, I got myself a small cup of frozen yogurt with mandarin oranges and cocoa pebbles from Red Mango. Yes, I still believe I can lose pounds even if I eat this way. It's just mind over matter, people ;)
Upon reaching home, I was ready to settle into my pambahay get-up, play with my nephew and play Little Big Planet on my brother-in-law's Playstation. But AD asked me if I wanted to go with her in Eastwood, where she's meeting a friend. I asked her if it was her treat. Oo daw. So GO! naman si ako. We had dinner atCookbook Kitchen and for the second time that day, I can feel my tummy cartwheeling with glee. We had I-Forgot-the-Name Pasta and Pork Steak with Honey Mustard Sauce. Dessert was at Starbucks and my treat ☺
Happy Sunday
pero hindi Mission: Accomplished. Pienso que algunos dÃas, tengo que aparecer que no estoy demasiado emocionante para verle, que darle una oportunidad para echarme de menos. ¡Ojalá!
Lunch at Lola Idang's with our aunts. Food and service was a let-down and to think that was already kare-kare and crispy pata, haha. I remember the last time we ate there, it was a pleasurable experience but I don't know what happened this time. Maybe it was because their service sucked and that fact somehow tainted my taste buds and made me not enjoy the food. Plus, it's the return of comeback of Tukling- just seeing her make pa-cute there in the other end of the table makes me want to put her inside a sako and hang her upside down.
Juks trip with my sisters and got myself some cheap rags. Massat Padre Pio to which we arrived late, verry late. AC treated us to some mocha frap and siopao. I know, a very unlikely pair but still yummies overload over the weekend ;)
And I'm still feeling the good vibe today :) Just watched When In Rome this morning while putting Joaquim to sleep. Movie review to follow. But first, here's my LSS as of late- Ke$ha's Your Love Is My Drug ♥
Maybe I need some rehab, or maybe just need some sleep I've got a sick obsession, I'm seeing it in my dreams What you've got boy is hard to find Think about it all about it all the time I'm all strung up my heart is fried I just cant get you off my mind I don't care what people say The rush is worth the price I pay I get so high when you're with me But crash and crave you when you are away
Prepping up for next week's cousin's house blessing and Cebu lechon ♥ XOXO
Just finished watching Glee's season finale. I liked it. Now I have lots of catching up to do, not only with Glee but with the other TV series I watch. Well, because of the long hiatus of Gossip Girl and Glee, tinamad ako to go download and impatiently wait and watch every torrent piece turn from green to blue. And there's no more sense in downloading when ETC airs it via satellite already. I watched Glee's first episode after the break and the Madonna episode and I was disappointed with the Madonna episode that I kinda lost interest. I missed those old Glee episodes when they use songs to go with the story and not pick songs first then write a story that would go with it. So I'm not really a fan of tributes ekek because it looks too pilit (contrived). Like the movie Across the Universe... a tribute of some sort to the Beatles and their songs. I mean, I love the Beatles and love their songs but that movie just didn't make sense. As with the Madonna episode of Glee- that just didn't make sense. Anyway, AB said there were good episodes after that like the Neil Patrick Harris episode so I'll download and watch them after I'm done with GG. It was a different case with How I Met Your Mother. I really, really thought Say Cheese (episode 18) was their season finale. Buti na lang tinanong ko kay Ycel :) Buti na lang. Kaya pala it felt bitin.
As for my Korean series, I'm not yet done with 1% of Anything and The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. I have one or two episodes left for 1% and four more for The Woman, but I can't seem to get myself to finish both. It was good at first but then the story got cornier and cornier. Anyhoo, would push myself to finish watching both because I am not a quitter. Haha.
As for my movies, there are lots I wanna watch but can't because of the following reasons: there are available torrents yet, I have no one to watch it with, I feel 170 pesos is too much to spend on a movie when I can watch it for only 40 pesos or 3 for 100 or better yet, for free with the help of btjunkie. Here are the movies I so wanna see: Date Night, How to Train Your Dragon, Homework, Waiting for Forever, Shrek Forever After, Robin Hood, Killers, Sex and the City 2, Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3. I just finished DL'ing When In Rome and will watch it when I find the time.
Haven't read any books lately which means I broke my NY Resolution to read two books every month. Boo! I attempted reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Built to Last but somehow, something else distracts me. So I thought maybe I need a not so serious book this time. Maybe I have to take a break first from books that either teach how to live my life, how to become a better person and how to make lots of money. Maybe I need a little dose of fiction, ya? That's why I'm reading P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern right now. I'm only on the sixth chapter and so far, it looks good. I already saw P.S. I Love You the movie with Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler and I can say that the movie didn't do justice to the book, as most book-adaptation movies.
Now I need to be a good girl and go to my "lab" a little later and do a bit of delayed gratification motivation chuva on myself. I will only watch all of these when I am done with whatever it is I need to do. Toodles~
I'm loving Train ♥ ♥ ♥ Their new releases are such feel-good songs and I think I'm going to DL me a copy. If It's Love is their follow-up to Hey, Soul Sister and it's just as catchy and fun :)
And if I'm addicted to loving you And you're addicted to my love, too We can be them two birds of a feather that flock together I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
I must have missed blogging terribly that I seem to be posting here on a daily basis. There are more important things I have to do, things are waaaay long overdue. Like 6 months overdue. I must do it today, no more excuses. Sayang ang income, darling.
Comeback of the Lazy Arse. Comeback nga ba? How could one thing that never left make a comeback? The Lazy Arse is alive and kicking! Haha, ang pangit. Anyway, there are so so so many excuses I've been coming up to put off working on my work. I must tell myself that if I keep working at this pace, I won't be a landlady of leisure before I hit 30. Time is running out, my dear self- 825 days, 19812 hours, 1188777 minutes. Time is of the essence, clearly. Work. Work. Work. No time to slack slack slack. Arrr...
So this means I must put off my Vampire Diaries marathon, movie marathon at kung anu-ano pang marathon. I really should make myself a schedule and stick to it. I used to be disciplined. What happened? I let myself go BIG TIME and it's hard to go back in track. At least I'm in the final stage~ ACCEPTANCE. If I could make myself lose the extra pounds, then I'll know I'm back to my old self. Bakit kasi yung dapat na ugali ko ngayon e yung ugali ko nung mas bata pa ako? Mali. Well, it's just a matter of knowing how to pukpok myself. Not pokpok myself ha. I have no plans of pimping myself out and I think there won't be any takers naman. Haha. Hay. Stop making excuses, lazy arse.
Free movie again, this time c/o Armida and her handy, dandy movie pass. We watched in Shangri-la and the only choices were Prince of Persia and Shrek. I like Shrek more but I haven't seen the third Shrek movie yet so til then, I would have to put off watching the fourth and final installment. So Prince of Persia it was...
Three Things about Prince of Persia: 1. I don't like Jake Gyllenhaal!!! I find him madungis :( They could have gotten someone more guapo. In fernez naman, he's a good actor. Armida says his role as Dastan compensated for his ka-brokeback-an in Brokeback Mountain.
I have AD to thank for that free ticket because if it wasn't for her, I would have missed out on this very funny movie.
Six Things about Here Comes the Bride:
1. The plot: Five persons exchanged bodies after this one fateful day when they were all part of a car collision at the exact moment a total solar eclipse happened. At first, I was dubious of the plot. I was pessimistic that they could pull this off but I was pleasantly surprised because they did pull it off.
2. The success of the movie could be attributed to the the five actors who played the five main characters. Hats off to Eugene Domingo, Angelica Panganiban, Jaime Fabregas, John Lapus and Tuesday Vargas! Isang palyadong artista lang diyan and it could've ruined the entire movie. Magaling ang casting, in fernezzz. I can't say I have a favorite character out of all the five. They were all superb! Kalurkey! Their acting prowess really surfaced in this movie.
3. I love how the characters (except one) found solace in their foreign bodies. As they say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." A successful lawyer who suddenly found herself in the body of a young yaya accepts her fate because she gets an instant lovelife, what she was lacking in her life~ just one of the five lives changed that day.
4. Aside from great acting and funny lines, the audience's reactions would also make you laugh. It's funny how everyone would get squeamish every time Harold (Tom Rodriguez) would try to kiss the character of Eugene Domingo. Each time they would yell, "Yuuuck!" Kawawa naman. Bakit wala ba siyang karapatan magka-jowa ng guapo? Haha.
5. Although I don't get it why Cherry Pie Picache's character wasn't alarmed by her daughter's sudden personality change? For 20+ years of her life, Stefanie was sickeningly sweet and all of a sudden she becomes this wild girl who is proficient in sward speak.
6. Whattaweddingsouvenir!!! What do you expect your guests to do with a heart-shaped pillow with your pictures on both sides? Except na lang if they were harboring some sort hidden desire either to the bride or groom but otherwise, why would I want a pillow with their faces on it? EXPLAIN. Better yet, get your wedding souvenirs from me ;) Reasonably priced na, practical pa. Oha!
7. Gusto mo underline-an ko pa? Tapos lagyan ko ng highlighter? I-spell ko pa for you? A line from the movie which could be very, very useful ;)
Funny, funny movie. I can't wait until they have an available torrent for this so I could download it and send it to AB. We both liked Kimmy Dora kasi and if more people liked Here Comes the Bride, maybe she'll enjoy this one, too.
It's a rainy and humid, sticky Tuesday. I dislike rainy days but I don't like 38ºC temperatures as well. Why can't it be Christmas already? I love it that it's already June, just 6 months away 'til we deck the halls with boughs of holly fa la la la la la la la la la ♪♫ I even have my Christmas decor for the plaza already. Excited much?
I'm here alone in the room, alone but not lonely. Just finished researching for possible promos for the spa for the months to come. Sales has been low for the past two weeks and although I could attribute the fact to a lot of factors (ie. people are busy preparing for school opening), I think I would have to be proactive here and bombard our clients with new happenings and promos. For a small village, there are a whole lot of nail spas and salons here. Of course, a little competition is healthy but I think it's time we do without the sari-sari store mentality. Go find your own brilliant idea. For crying out loud, they can't even come up with their own spa operating hours. Tsk.. tsk... Okay, now that I'm done with the bad vibes, let's proceed with the good ones.
I've been a bit kikay lately, I don't know why. Before all of these, my only vanity concerns were my pimples and eyebrows. I never even cared about make-up. Or worried if the strands of my hair are neatly brushed away from my face. Well, I do think it's about time that I do some preening. I have to primp myself up if I want to look polished, right? I've already bought some stuff which I think would help me in this little journey to looking all polished and here are some of what I'm planning to buy in the coming weeks... that is if business is good.
to conceal all those imperfections, meaning, EVERYTHING
this product claims to dry out pimples overnight and prevent new ones; I'll try this one once I've finished my current stock of drying lotion
to add to my collection of facial washes
to rid of all those unwanted facial hair
And these are a just a few of my must-haves ☺ Oh no! I must scrimp on some things so I could splurge on enumerated stuff above. And there's also this New York trip I'm saving up for. Target date is Autumn 2011. Must get rid of unnecessary expenses.
Speaking of expenses, the entire family, except AC, attended this Attracting Wealth seminar. Very similar to the secret and what I'm quasi-practicing right now. You just have to abide by the Rules of the Universe and its powers will conspire to give you what your heart desires. So now I'm kinda in the process of revamping my VISION BOARD and be more specific with what I want. Ayun nga, I've been sort of practicing this wealth attraction method for some time but never really experienced bongga effect. Maybe there's something I am not doing right, ya? There's a specific time to look at those pictures on your vision board to summon them in my life and that I've got to find out. Soon. But for now, I must continue looking for pictures to add to my vision board.
And oh, I should really lose weight. I've already gained 10 lbs before I went on vacation and I do believe that I gained more. Not for anything else but health reasons, I want to shed the extra pounds. And that, my friends, is the current source of my frustration. I currently see myself as this one big blob and I can't seem to imagine how I could lose 50 effin' pounds. I hope I could wish myself thin. Arrr...
And on that note, here's something from tumblr to remind myself that everything is possible if I will it. Yaha!
