Patience is a virtue

7 days until Gossip Girl Season 3, y'all~

As I've said, I'm expecting THISMUCH from the show. Season 2 was a disappointment. Well, not entirely but mostly it just wasn't fabulous, if you know what I mean, eh? I hope they come up with a much better storyline this time and not just fill it with make-out scenes and other what-have-you's.

And I want more fabulous outfits, please! It's no secret that I covet Blair Waldorf's wardrobe, so I am excited to see more of her to-die-for apparel. Plus, it's autumn in New York~ my favorite season (Ha. as if I've been to New York and as if I've experienced any other season aside from wet and dry). The thing with autumn is I just love Fall fashion with all those trench coats and tights. I would love to don the abovementioned but certainly not here in this scorching-hot country.

So so so excited already~

Unhappy when it rains

It's been raining for days now. I hate rainy days because:

1. For some reason, I feel sad on rainy days. Maybe it's something like the Seasonal Affective Disorder when people would experience depressive symptoms during the winter season. Well, yeah, we don't have winter here but the sun is out whenever it rains (as it is during winter). Without the sun, it's all sad and gloomy.
   
2. I hate getting my feet wet.
   
3. Low sales.
   

Hoping hoping hoping that the sun would be out tomorrow because I don't think I can take another gloomy day.

happy as a bunny

I was going to be turning ten years old in July, and there was something about
the transition from nine to ten- from single digit to double digits-
that shocked me into a genuine existential panic, usually reserved for people turning fifty.
I remember thinking that life was passing me by so fast. It seemed like only yesterday
I was in kindergarten, and here I was, about to turn ten.
Soon I would be a teenager, then middle-aged, then elderly, then dead.
And everyone else was aging in hyperspeed, too.

I hate to sound like a broken record but really, anticipation is half (if not 3/4) the fun. After all those months, weeks and days spent counting down, the day itself still remains nothing very out of the ordinary. Don't get me wrong, of course, I still had a blast and I'm super duper happy with all the greets and gifts and also had a small celebration with family here. The only sad thing is the absence of my daddy (who is in Capiz still and will just come home on the 27th in time for AD's wedding) and AC (who is still in China waiting for her graduation). It was a GREAT DAY nonetheless. I couldn't ask for more. Well, I did want something more, which in my opinion, isn't really too much to ask for but maybe, God is brewing something much, much better. Ojala!

I find joy in counting down the days to big events like birthdays, holidays, the Christmas season and practically every event that is worth getting excited over. And with the anticipation comes the hope that days would pass by quickly so that the day long awaited for would finally come. But then again I just realized that by doing so, precious time gets lost in it. Well, if I were in my -teens I guess it wouldn't matter that much but the thing is I'm just three years away from hitting 30. I guess we have to find the right balance between wanting to fast forward to the most anticipated events and wanting to slow time down as well. I remember the movie The Man in the Moon's tagline: Remember when you couldn't wait for your life to begin... and then, one day, it did?~ Well, I'm still waiting for that day although I have no frickin' idea what I am waiting for. Then again, maybe it's time I stop waiting and make it happen myself. Whatever. I hope I could finally decide to get off my lazy arse...

So now that my birth day is finally over and am already in my late twenties *ack* Late (!) twenties. Why do I still feel as if I am in my early twenties? Denial ba ito o sadyang signs of retardation lang? But I still have three more years to enjoy until I turn 30. I have to teach myself to be in the moment, be in the now and not wallow in the past nor anticipate the future too much. Before I worry on turning 30, enjoy muna being 27. Premature talaga ako. On that note, 364 days left 'til my next birthday. Yeeha!

Day 4

in anticipation of my birthday

A little bit disappointed because it's RAINING! So let all the rain come down tonight so skies will be clear tomorrow and on Sunday.

In other news...

Kristin Kreuk (of Smallville fame) will be joining the cast of Chuck! Oh joy! Chuck is still, like, six months away but I'm so so so excited already. She will play Hannah, a girl who will work in Buy More and eventually will be Chuck's new love interest. Bahaha!!! I love love triangles. I've always been a Chuck + Sarah fan but who knows... when Hannah (Kreuk) enters the picture, I just might change my mind.

I so miss Kristin Kreuk. I'm no lesbo or anything but she was one of the reasons why I loved watching Smallville back then (the other reason being Tom Welling). How I would give anything to have those pretty hazel eyes...

Anyway, I can't wait! **squeeee** I swear I'm uber giddy as of the moment. Hoping that Chuck would get full season instead of reported 13-episode deal. Crossing my fingers... and toes!

Day 3

in anticipation of my birthday...

♥ Woke up earlier than usual. Accompanied Lola Christmas to Makati for her JLPT application. We went to AB's office. Afterwards, we headed back to Megamall for lunch then Christmas had to go to work. I lingered and strolled for a wee bit to burn the calories (yeah, right). Anyway, while I was strolling around, I saw this cute shirt~

I've had my eye on this one since last Saturday when I helped Ycel shop for her office attire. Usually, I don't buy clothes because I am way too stingy and there's actually no need since I can always borrow from my sisters. But since AD is getting married soon and I'm afraid there won't be much stash left after she moves out, I'm trying to build my own wardrobe. Plus, I got already paid for my October project. And oh, I have another reason~ it's my birthday soon! >>excited<<







♥ Ten seconds ago, this would have been what I said: "Omigosh!!!! Katy Perry is coming to Manila this October!!!! I waannnnnaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaatch!!! But after googling the event, I found out that it is on October frickin' 3! WTF? Riiiight??? October 3 just happens to be my sister's wedding so talagang hopeless na and I would have to say au revoir to watching Katy Perry live in concert. Unless, they re-schedule it, which is highly unlikely. Boo~ Hmph, okay lang, pangit naman venue. Uuuuy, sourgraping.

♥ In other news, I'm totally digging this song~

Baby, you stole my heart
I never want it back

Day 2

in anticipation of my birthday...

Weird. The nearer the day, the more unexcited I become. Why oh why oh why???

Day 1

in anticipation of my birthday...

Happy September, y'all!

I love love love September. I love it for the obvious reason that it is my birth month. And also that it's the first -ber month. We, Filipinos, all know that once the first -ber month drops in, it means Christmas is coming. I can't wait!

I want this on my birthday~

Can't wait can't wait can't wait... Super duper duper super wish that all my wishes come true. At least, for the time being, my top 5 wishes. And because I'm super duper duper babaw, I could settle for Wish#1 for my birthday. Sad, but true~
