Had an amazing dinner with an old friend Berlinda at Prego Mauri's KB branch.
Haha, it was hella pricey but its fine cos the conversation was good and so was the company.
Can't believe I will be leaving in 2 days :C

Anyways, that's about it for now.
Cheers.

2012-01-13T05:05:00.000-08:00

Joyce and I are tryna spend as much time enjoying the holidays despite the fact that there's alot of chores to do around. Yesterday we spend the entire day watching movies with mom and eating summa that good ol' Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Dough!

Life is good.
c:
Cheers!

Christmas eve, New Years and to new beginnings.

2012-01-07T00:07:00.000-08:00

The holidays have been topsy turvy every now and then. Good, bad and then going good again. Its kind of like a roller- coaster, only crazier and there are lots more emotions are involved. I guess that's natural. Never had a holiday where it was plainly neutral. Been watching movies to kill time, like a lot of movies. Here's a couple of shots to capture the moment. Goshness.. I am soo going to miss 2011 :)

The holidays won't be complete without cuppy cakes and frostings, sadly our frost didn't turn out so well so lets just skip those shots yes :)

Oh, and an unexpected visit from my aunt in New Jersey happened, she and my dad are siblings and haven't seen each other in 5+ years. Took a couple to show everyone back in the Philippines. This was taken in Excapade, KB.

... And then Panaga.

Did I mention I got interviewed for a vacancy as an art instructor yesterday?
And got a call today saying I got accepted?! Well I did!
Feels amazing that I am not so worthless. Haha. Jk.
But yeah.
Cheers!!!
2012, BRING IT ON!

one hot mess

2011-12-10T02:47:00.000-08:00

my mom got admitted to St. Luke's Medical Center because she caught Pneumonia. But her antibiotics are working and she is much stronger now. Thank you for all your prayers.

its been 4 entire days of sleepless nights! daaaaaaang.
'tassall..
God bless.

Pretty Little Sisters

2011-12-04T03:41:00.000-08:00

Vacation has been quite long and have been trying to make myself useful. Thank God for every blessings and everyone He has given in my life. I never knew I would ever find a passion in cosmetics and make up. Its my actual first time to try on the smokey eyes besides myself and it actually turned out pretty well.

My sister came home on the last minute to get her face-did. And there was no time for mistakes. She ended up looking hot.

Just got these new babies today.
Worth about 3.5k and am pretty happy cos the family will be looking pretty decent on this year's Christmas/ Lent Season.

Mark got me these <3
He said I deserved it :)
Lo.ve.it.

Baby sister Joyce felt like going for a make over and was eager for me to try on my new skills.. winkwink on her. We were trying out what palette would be best suitable for her look since she had gorgeous eyes I figured the natural look would pull it out on its own. And then she demanded for big looking cat-eyes so we ended up with the smokeys. And then she wanted some shots and boom, guess who was the amazing photographer? Yours truly, of course!

Hot sisters much? Pfft.
Lol, have a good weekend everyone!
Cheers.

Movie time with Joycey

2011-12-01T19:12:00.000-08:00

Its Joyce's 2nd day in the Philippines and I had to take her out so she wouldn't be so bored at home.. There wasn't much to do anyways so we decided to watch them movies. We were initially going to watch Breaking Dawn Saga I but the time was quite inconvenient so we ended up watching Happy Feet 2. Fun movie I hafta say but it was an even funner day.

Potato corner and movies go quite well together!

Right after the movies it was shopping time. Tried a couple of dresses and found this amaaazing purple zebra patterned top. It was gorgeous although it did show off way too much of my bazookers. I ended up buying a new nude nail polish with 2 extreme mascara's from The Face Shop and Avon.

My other sister, Tata ended up getting an early Christmas present from me and mark from Dorothy Perkins. It looks something like this
It was 70 bucks. DAAAAANG!

Ended up finding a really cute beanie from a little shoe store called "Call it Spring" and gosh I sooo wanted to purchase one but they didn't have any new stock. The one out for display was already worn out and dirty. Wasn't willing to pay full price for something that's worth less.

I drove home.
And that concludes our trip for the day.
More updates to come. Really excited for this December. CHYEAA!

cheers,
K.

Day to Day to Day

2011-11-21T03:43:00.000-08:00

Today was absolutely a fun day. It started off weird cos I had to rush to the Post Office to figure out how to claim a parcel of sweets. Its my first time receiving goodies so I was pretty much a lost pup, I ended up asking a really nice manong whom was selling cigarettes close to where I was dropped off and he pointed right directly behind him. Lol, I felt sooo blind. After the hussle in the PO, I went straight to DLS-CSB to meet up with my friend Kat. We ended up going around the building trying to get our clearance sheet signature completed when we ran to Danelle! We had lunch at University Mall's Persian Grill and the Chicken Farsi Sandwich sucked balls. It wasn't worth my Php165. Just sayinnnn'

♥♥♥ Saw me crush @ the gym today ♥♥♥

KILIG TO THE BONES!

DQQQQQQQQQQQQQ!! Need I say more? [:

Mama's treat.

After having an ultimatum in Pampanga's best restaurant, Cabalen.. we decided to shop for a bit to yenno... ease the stress. Mama fell in love with this new tree up in Robinson's Place Ermita. I think they're planning on buying a new tree this year. Who knows? Picture was tooken right after buying 3 new shoes my mom bought for meeeee. Oh, just found out today that my mom's cancer cells dropped from 150 to 85! Miracles do happen. Again, I have no one else to thank but God and everyone who's been praying for her health <3 May God bless you with the same blessings as he's blessed us.

That's about it for now c:

I just realized thattt...

I need a job lol.

Anyone up for hiring me?

Graduation Day Part Dos

2011-11-19T03:57:00.000-08:00

Graduation Day

2011-11-18T21:37:00.000-08:00

Christmas is just around the corner. Every nooks of every street seem to have its own decorative lantern or lights to liven up the paths of Manila. A couple of days ago, my friend Angelica got confined in the hospital. My dad, Angela and I decided to come for a short visit to see how she was doing. It was in St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City so it wasn't the usual 15 minute drive to the hospital. The building was old and it had a classical feel to the main lobby.

GRADUATION DAY!!!

Yep! I've finally made it past college. I am unbelievably happy that I got to celebrate it with my parents. Although a bit sad that my two siblings weren't around to celebrate it with me. It was good nonetheless. I didn't trip or fall on stage. Thank you God for making all these things possible. Every single blessing that you've given me and my family.

When my mom got sick, I immediately though she wouldn't be strong enough to make it past my graduation. During construction period of my exhibit, I cried so much thinking I was going to loose my mom for it. But miracles do happen. And the impossible is possible. So God, THANK YOU! Gosh these words wouldn't even ever be enough to express the gratitude I really feel <3

Couple of pictures tooken before the commencement ceremony.. in RCBC Plaza, Makati.

My mom working her thang on the phone.

After graduation, we made our way to Presidents Restaurant in MOA to grab dinner. It was a pretty good day over all.

Graduation shots to follow once my friends and photographers send me copies of them shots.

Batch 2011!

WHOPEEEEEEEEEY!

Classes are finally dismissed!!!!!!!

So much has happened since I have last posted here. As much as I want to keep updating it regularly, time limits me. My excuses are lame I know. Thank you to everyone who's been constantly visiting for short updates.

Ohmegee I am cross-eyed!
Was trying out my eye-shadows.

So to start off, my dad and sister came over for a couple of days to allow my sister to take up her entrance exams in De La Salle University- Manila. The same university, my sister Tata goes to. I was able to spend some quality time with her before she took up the exams. She is much more taller than me now. Envy her slim figure to be honest with you c: Was also able to bring her to out school's exhibit and she was able to explore around and meet the people I have surrounded myself with for the past 2 years that I have been going to PSID.

She's so purdyyy!

Parents were able to feed us food we don't normally get to eat when its just me and my sister here. Haha. budgetting your allowance was one thing we learned when we moved to the Philippines a couple of years ago, yenno?

Here a re a couple of shots that I took during my sister's stay.

Think everything is over? Wrong-o.

I have received so much blessings lately too.
And I only have one person to thank that for.
God.
He has been so good to me and my family. And so to that I am thankful.

Thankful that my mom's cancer cells has decreased since her last check up.
Thankful that he's made my exhibit happen in time.
Thankful that I had my family over to witness it with me.
Thankful that He has helped me change, for the good (I think!)
Thankful that throughout the tough times, He was always there.
Thankful that He's been giving me projects for my career.
Thankful for my friends who's been there throughout the rough patches.
But most of all, thankful for giving me the life that I have right now.

A friend has asked me to work on his patio for him. Who was I to say no to that C:

Thankful and grateful

2011-09-11T01:53:00.000-07:00

Ate at Superbowl, Robinson's Ermita. I drove going there. My sister drove going back home.

My tita Mercy and cousin ate Fel

Mama and me

Mama and my sister.

These past couple of days have been more than I thought I could ever handle. Somehow, I kind of saw it coming but I never really expected it to happen. Nonetheless, I am so thankful to God for being with me and my family every single step of the way. Despite a couple of turbulences and what seemed like a very long roller-coaster ride of ups and downs.. I am just glad its over. Thank you to everyone who's been praying for my mom's recovery. She's trying to re-gain strength and despite what she has, she too is fighting hard and is very motivated to win over it in God's will.

If there's one thing that I have learned throughout everything, its that nobody can every go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. We have our own time on our hands, its on our own grip and its really up to us, whether or not we wanna make a difference or a change with it.

Today was the first time my mom was able to go out after her surgery. I missed having her old self back, bossing us around, making us do this-and-that, telling us what not to do and how it should have been done. Everything brought me back to the memories of my childhood. Honestly, I've learned so much through these.. I've learned to appreciate her, as my mom and as a person (not that I never did, its just I do appreciate her much much more now). It has tested my patience, nursing her and being there when she needed anything. I have learned to set my priorities straight and always put her first despite my schedule with our school exhibit. I, also learned how much sacrifices she's put out for me and my siblings and now its my turn to do some for her. I am aware that I still have a lot to learn, and everyday with her I will cherish much more than the next. Okay, for about a month of not posting, I think this post has made up for it. To end it, I shall attach some pictures with this post (Mama's asking me to prepare dinner so I gots to go!)

Cheers,
GOD BLESS
Happy weekend everyone C:

crush

2011-07-24T12:03:00.001-07:00

There’s just something about you

This thing which makes me;

Sneak in short glances,

Heart skip beats,

Shy when you catch me looking,

Look forward to seeing you next,

Make everything seem beautiful,

Put a smile on my face.

But I am not the type of girl to approach a guy I like, so..

I now write these words in a piece of paper,

Spilling things I can’t ever share with you…

However, this little thing I have for you,

Will be hindered and forever will remain... a secret crush.

♥

Happy Birthday My Lovely Mother.

2011-07-21T20:39:00.000-07:00

First and foremost, it was my mom's birthday this week and she and my dad have served such important roles in my life. Honestly, a thank you is not enough to express how grateful I am for having both of you. Thank you for raising and teaching us all that we know today. You both have been amazing parents and I couldn't have asked for anything better. God has blessed me with such a lovely family, and even though we don't all agree on all things.. I know you guys do it for love. So God, thank you.

And of course,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER!

Tata and I ate for y'all at TGIF a couple of days ago. The food was soo good, even ordered some pasta for long life aye ;)

Why oh why was I born with chinky tiny eyes!?

______________________________________
Okay so going back to school, I stayed up all night trying to finish up a couple of my workshop plates due in an hour and also volunteered to do the finalization for our bathroom exhibit so here goes. Hope our Design Adv Consultant approves it and hopefully no more re-drafting cos I am soo out of ideas. Am still not done with the ceiling though but yeah, here's what Jenny and I came up with:

Kk, that's it for now.
More updates to come sooner or later.
Have a good one.
Cheerios (:

hotel design

2011-07-16T09:02:00.000-07:00

Hotel design for our thesis. Defense pretty much sucked cos we got targeted so much but then again, its constructive criticism. Individually, I did pretty alright but as a group, yeah.. it was real bad. Anyways, here's my room for the Jr. Suite. I need some friends to talk to so I be spending me time on the phone til I get sleepy enough to forget today. Sigh.
PS: Harry Potter, the Deathly Hallows was amaaaaaaaaaazing <3
watch it now (:

vanish away

2011-07-12T20:33:00.001-07:00

Today's a beautiful bright and sunny day <3
But I fear of what lies ahead,
nonetheless...
God will guide me.

Have a good day errone :)

some woderness

2011-07-12T06:36:00.000-07:00

These week's started off hectic and I can feel God being with me throughout my tough and challenging moments. I don't know how to even start thanking my family and friends for keeping me sane and on my toes throughout such a critical part in my life. Everyday is just a blessing. <3

So today, my group mates and I went swatch hunting, its been a ritual waking up sooo freaking early and sleeping at such late hours that caffeine has started being my best friend. To be honest, I am not a fan of coffee but lately, its been making me feel good and it enables me to finish everything that I need to get done. Working up all nighter has given me lots of zits on my face UGH enemy!! But guess what? My crush and I have a zit on the same cheek. Lol, forgive me for being easily amused. True story though :PNothing better than waking up on a noon nap and walking to the closest coffee shop to grab your favorite drink. Holly's Coffee is starting to grow on me to be honest. :) The bartenders are quite nice too, well at least the korean dood was super friendly.

A couple of swatches I be using for my hotel plate. Will keep on updating you guys with whats going down. Oh, the lady who assisted us, in Larry's Shop in Amorsolo Street, Gil Puyat... I think her name was Marie, yeah.. she's the nicest personnel I have ever ever ever encountered. So if you guys ever decide to drop by for textiles and fabrics for anything, ask for her. God bless you woman.

updee

2011-07-10T07:49:00.000-07:00

Okay so I visited this new coffee shop close to my condo here in Taft Avenue, the place is called Hollys Coffee shop and they also serve these Korean beverages that I dare not try. Haha, it cracked me up when they gave me this black coaster thingy that vibrates when your orders ready for collection. Its quite original, compared to the usual Starbucks call-out.

So my friend, Jenny and I did our hotel plate as we chilled at the coffee shop, their pastries are quite rubbery but tasty. They coulda lessened the microwave heat level up.

________________________________________________
We got our creative shots taken this week as well. Since we are on the graduating batch, its required to get some pictures up and posted for the yearbook.
I was able to take a picture of some of my groupmates for the exhibit.. The originals will be posted up in a couple of weeks.

Ethel

(Roseanne's is suppose to be here, but she came after me so I wasn't able to get snap shots of her :( Sorry Rose )

Mitch

Jenny
________________________________________

Was able to chill over at Mall of Asia for like 6 hours? Actually after church we headed straight to the mall, and we had brunch at Subway, snacked on Greenwich's Beefy Baked Macaroni and then decided to grab up some free donuts at Krispy Kreme and try out their Mocha Coffee Latte. Also, was able to charge my phone.

On my way to sending my sis and friends over the cab, I saw me crusssssshhhhhhhh :P
Haha, yep. Saw him in MOA :)
Cheaaaaaaaaaa lol
Okay, tryna compose myself here. Okay so, was able to finish my 7th hour of driving lessons today. Just waiting for my 2 lecture sched and then I get my non-pro driving license and its hellobruneibaby :)) Nahh, just kidding. I hafta finish my exhibit first. Ugghhh, I'm gonna try to cut down on junk food this week and work double on the treadmill.

So yeah,

Have a good weekend errone
I miss my family back at home
and my friends too (:

greenwich stopover

2011-07-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

After presenting for Architect Guggenheimer this morning,
which was partially related to out last class for our thesis.. Ethel and Jenny decided they were hungry since the presentation took longer than expected. So we stopped over at Greenwich pizza place to grab some late lunchers and I tagged along lol. Just cos I didn't feel like going home yet. Was able to relax and rest a bit and even have a good laugh with the stories shared. LOL.

Have a good weekend everyone!
Cheers.
:)

ladiee-ta-movieeeee

2011-06-29T16:16:00.000-07:00

These past few days have been such a full schedule.
I honestly would've never imagined that life could be so friggin darn hectic.
But it definitely keeps my mind off hectic-ness and such..

On Monday, our school had a field trip visiting the Furniture-maker factory somewhere in Bicutan. We were able to learn and understand slightly more of how and what machines they use to produce and mould their furniture.

Look at the bling on the bus we rode.
Lol, our ride be pimpin'.

After the trip to the factory we were able to drop by the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines where they explained to us the different sort of materials and products we could use for furniture. Basically exhibiting and showing us their previous work and samples. It was quite interesting although I was too tired to function and bother listening to the entire lecture.

__________________________________________________________________

On Tuesday,
we came back to PDCCP to make our own
sort of texture on simple plain cardboard paper.
Purrdy cool, huh?
I thought so.

And look what I got, just for attending their workshop!

_____________________________________________________________

We were able to watch the premier of Transformers 3.
Darn it was amaaazing. Well I enjoyed it a lot compared to the second movie
which was a disappointment. The plot to this was better than the last although I
still think Transformers 1 was the best lol.
Then again, that's just me.

Got dinner over at Asian Ramen, in Robinsons.
Pretty darn good dishes although they coulda lowered them prices a bit yenno.
Oh economy.

2011-06-11T07:48:00.000-07:00

Hell week has started so that's been keeping me busy for this entire week.
I think that its amazing how everything happens so fast when its all over, yet..
when your in the moment, time takes forever.

Went bowling with my friends and sisters a few days back.
It was actually my first time, as well as for them ? I think. Haha.
Dannggg, bowling is pretty rad and we only got to play one game until we hit up the theaters and watched Insidious. That movie was pretty good too by the way (:
Hella good sound effects,

Kresta: WHAA? That's it?!? I want more!
Angela: Yup, Ima callin' the frickin driver to send us to the cinema.

Angelica: MUAHA I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-06-05T19:26:00.000-07:00

Good Morning. I am in class right now, its another monday morning. Time seriously flies.. i am almost on my last semester and boy am I a bit scared of the future that lies ahead. Its sort of a bitter-sweet situation actually, because regardless of what happens I know that God will always be with me no matter what. It just gave me time to contemplate but I should probably pay attention to my professor whom, at this moment... is doing a lecture. Good day everyone!

(Photo taken by Ed)
It was the last week of our flower arrangement seminar and to be honest, I found it fun. Even though there's so many things to do, I've learned that its best to take things slowly one at a time and just avoid stressing yourself out so much. Thank God I have such amazing friends who can clear up the air for me when I need a good laugh. You guys know who you are (:

My partner, Jenny (:
Thank you for bearing with me on such stressful times.
I know I am not always the best person to be around with yet you still try to joke around and make me laugh when I have a frown on my face. So thankful that I got to spend the entire day with you.. Haha, not like we don't see each other every day pero you know what I mean :D

Okay, so after a short nap, my sister got back from her work-out session and asked if I wanted to grab some drinks (yeah right, she mean 100+ dood, don't be thinking something else). Ended up going with her to dine in this Japanese resto along Taft and their soup was pretty good. Although I am still disgusted with the mere fact of eating raw fish. My sister on the other hand, was enjoying herself. So yeah, its all good.

PS: Mama and Papa,
I

♥

you.
Cheers.

Flowers

2011-05-26T09:54:00.001-07:00

Today was flower arrangement day in class.
A week ago, we were given a seminar to discuss about the different types of flower arrangements, and as our assignment for the week, or rather an individual work for the day- was to bring our own artificial flowers to arrange in class. I guess the saying is true, you do learn more if you were to do things yourself rather than watch people do it/teach it to you. It was definitely something I enjoyed doing and learned a couple of randomness which I didn't think would work on flowers but I guess I was proven wrong (:

Here are some of the work my batch mates did for the class:

Here's mine on the first attempt, yuckers \:
what was I thinkin'??

Second attempt,

Got a little frustrated with the twig,
but the last attempt made the flowers look "finished",
I guess...

Cute no?Photo taken by my good friend, Ed Cauilan.

Taken by Ed Cauilan. Thanks so much if your reading this.

Since I had such an early start of the day, everything else was a blur when I got home past lunch time. All I remember was that I cleaned the condo up and knocked right outta bed. Got some zzzs from 3pm to 7pm. I am such a sick slacker, but whatever, the flu that I caught due to the sudden change of weathers got me exhausted easily.

When I finally did wake up, I got a call from ate Angelica inviting me over to this Korean Resto, I am so sorry I forgot what the name of it was but yeah, haha, first time ever to try it out on a Native Korean cuisine and it was definitely delightful. Got drank with Sprite lol! And here are some random shots eh.

Refillable side dishes, the oysters were the most nyamiest!

Some sorta assorted Korean alcohol.

Ocampo sisters :) Thank you for treating us!
Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE ANGELICA <3

& of course, my beloved sister all pumped up.

Look at the smile growing bigger and wider as she ate more& more. Lol!

And that's about it (:
Siked for the weekend.
Cheers.

Its been a long time

2011-05-16T09:24:00.000-07:00

It has been such a long time indeed since I last read a book. But reading such an extra-ordinary book from Judith McNaught just makes everything extra special. A good author can make you feel emotions whilst reading their work, that is exactly why she is such an amazing writer. I truly admire her because she never fails to amuse and entertain me.

On this particular book, I laughed, cried and laughed again C:
If you haven't read this, its a true classic tale. Unexpected and exciting that you'd wanna watch it on the screen.

Five stars, two thumbs up with a big happy smile.
Keep rockin' on dearest Judith McNaught.
You inspire me and I am certain I am not alone on this.

Cheers.

Yesterday& today's been hella hectic for me. Slept so late last night trying to do mini-gift boxes and wrapping it up on tiny white ribbons as well as the menu, tried to make it sound as posh and as elegant as possible.

Thank God its over! Finally, was able to clean the condo furreals and actually feel good now that I get to relax for a day. Got just one plate to finish and am thinking of starting it, ehh on the weekend perhaps. I was out in Divisoria(apparently a bargain place here in Manila) for the first time in my life, was with my good friend, Jenny picking out materials we'd be using for the table set-up (done today). Damn, that place has a LOT of peoples. Sorta scary, because I actually saw a real hold-up, or as Americans usually call it, a snatcher trying to steal a woman's purse. The snatcher who was a kid, got caught though. Serves him right! Think he was high on sumn..

We decided upon going for an outdoor summer garden look, with bright yellow, white and green as our color scheme. Our pretend occasion was a Family Reunion hence, the slightly modern yet delicate theme.

Here are the rest of our classmates' work.

Happy Mother's Day

2011-05-08T05:52:00.000-07:00

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mothers out there!!! Especially to MY WONDERFUL MOM!

You have been such an important role in my life as well as everyone you know.
I wouldn't ever want anyone else to play the motherly role because I know you did it best.
Every time I go shopping in the mall and a mom says the line "Tumigil nga kayong dalawa!", I'd remember you and how you'd say it to me and Kresta. :) I love you mama. Forever and ever will!

About today, well, the day didn't start off as well cos it was raining so hard.
As I was walking on my way to church for the day, I saw a dead cat laying on the road. Head seperated from its body. Flesh scattered all over the floor with intestines whirling around its body. It was such a disturbing sight and I wanted so bad to move its body to the side but I was also rushing for mass so I didn't. (Sorry cat)

Did the 2nd reading, pretty sad that Laarni, the sunday mass pianist has moved to QC and so she won't be volunteering with the keyboards no more. I felt sorta bad because its mother's day and its suppose to be a lively mass for moms but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Nonetheless, God is with y'all :)

Had brunch at Soi, a Thai restaurant in Robinsons Ermita and did some grocerying. Cleaned up the condo and did my mother's day card for mama.

Random shot I took before my sis went to Brulanders. I miss junk.
Karen, control yourselves!
Okay that's it.
Chao.

Summertime

2011-05-05T05:42:00.000-07:00

Summer's here, and the heat can drive you really crazy. No I am not exaggerating. Its gonna be such a slow weekend but I am still looking forward to it nonetheless. Yesterday was such a downer cos I had to pay 2k for tickets on which I am not even gonna use. Stoopid but its a requirement. Not going to put it on to detail.This week, I've learned how to operate Google Sketch-up. Its a drawing program sorta similar to AutoCAD but simpler and wayyy easier to handle. This term, I'm learning Hospital, Hotel (i think) as well as Museum design so we were required to design:

1) Regular room;(actually got distracted with the food cos it looked so darn yummeh!)

2) Suite room; and
3) The Hospital's general lobby..
Who woulda guessed I could finish all that within 2 days! (: Yep you should be proud.

But yep, that's pretty big on my end...
Cheers from the Philippines (:

Holy holy week

2011-04-25T06:32:00.001-07:00

So, I know its been forever since I last wrote anything on this blog. I doubt anyone ever checks it anyways, but today I am feeling like contemplating back and if I were to give you a whole summary of everything that's been going on, nothing would make sense so lets just skip all that and go to the updates. Some of these shots have been taken from the previous months and some just lately (holy week).

Yummy goodness (: Obv, food is <3 but always better to eat moderately.

Did I ever mention that I has an adorable nephew whom I call "baybeeboy"
Yeah, well I do.
A shot from Little Soul Sister's Convent, Tagaytay. Which means its where I spent half my holy week on. Was an experience I will always cherish. Found out that night how Jesus felt as he got crucified on the cross. Did you guys know that Jesus Christ was 6'4" tall? Yep. Now you do!

Tagaytay!!

My cousin's place (:

Favorite feature. The antique looking timeless clock. (:
More to come soon.
Phone's giving me a hard time uploading pictures. There were more but only these made through.
Hope your EASTER was awesome.
HAPPY EASTER!!!
Cheers.

New Year

Peace

2010-03-08T04:47:00.000-08:00

Six more days and its gonna a be a month,
You are still in the memories of those you love,
Even if your not with us...
The sweet serenity reminds me of the times we've had with you.
But now, your in a more peaceful place.
A place unreachable and with harmony,
we will join you someday
and one day we shall meet again.

Written for my uncle who passed away on Valentines Day 2010.
May your soul rest in peace, tito Madie.
We love you.

French Bakers

2010-03-05T03:14:00.000-08:00

Made this steamed salmon for breakfast.
Would you believe me if I were to tell you the only ingredients in this are:
1) Salmon.
2) Thin slices of lemon.
3) Onion
4) Basil leaves (dried.)I've never been one of those people obsessed with their fitness nor do I ever gave much attention to self-image too much. But yesterday was one of days where I got called over to the gym by my friend Ate Angela. Spend the past 2 hours in the gym with her and after that we strolled along the stores we decided to grab a bite at French Baker. YUMSIES!

Salmon with veggies and soup

2010-03-02T03:08:00.000-08:00

It was an exhausting day, the last time I ate was at 11ish in the a.m. I was pretty much idle in the first part of the morning.. That's why I had a late brunch. Hence, the feel of some healthy bite which I made myself. This little ingredient was taught to me by my parents. I'm not really talented in the kitchen but I have my moments of cookery. Attended class from 1-4pm and gosh it was one of those not-in-the-mood-to-study mode.
OMG I got cookies from Danelley and YUM, they're amazingly yummy. SHE THE BEST!!! I missed her soo much. Imagine my entire life in PSID, I spend it with her daily and suddenly the meeting haults as we don't have the same schedule for AutoCAD. :(Baby Kat, her bubbly personality can always brighten up anyones day. What did I say eh? I have amazing friends. YESSUR!

Crepes&Cream with family

2010-02-28T18:24:00.000-08:00

Life has been a mixed roller coaster ride these past few days. From the death of our uncle to my parents dropping by and paying their respects. To the blessed trips to experiencing amazing cuisines all over Manila. To the fact that my sister won first place in DLSU's Civil Eng Fun Run for 2010. To the mere fact that I have friends who care about me! Its been one hell of a joy ride and I am so grateful to God for giving me a chance to bond with my parents over the short time that was given to us. Its during times like these when you get tested by appreciating what you already have and using it to its full potential to get through all the obstacles life puts you through. Ahh, its all mixed emotions but nonetheless, I'm thankful for everyone and everything that I have.

Was looking for a dress for my little sister, J when I passed through the Crepes& Cream outlet in RPE. Mama treated me to a hot fresh slice of Spicy Tuna Onion Crepes and mmm, YUM! They used Century Tuna's Hot& Spicy stock. I'd reckon their products taste anywhere.

This was tooken yesterday while walking, hence the blurry image. Its Crepes& Cream's infamous Chocolate Temptation. This little number is so heavenly. The combination of every ingredient never fail to make me enjoy every bite. This one's my fav!High 5 on the new nail do! I was suppose to give me a new french tipped nail but blah I gave up after the 6th try. I need to work on my impatience :)

California Berry

2010-02-24T05:44:00.001-08:00

I cannot believe that there is an outlet such as this in the Philippines. hahaha :)
Gotta love the combo.
YUMMMM

Quaker Oats Oatmeal Cookies

2010-02-23T21:54:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ATE ANGELA!!!

You have been an amazing friend and wish you had fun on your lovely day.
Sorry I made this a little late hahah kase naman eh I had class pa.

I wanted to greet you myself.
Well like I said, you have been a great friend to me and my sisters.
You've always been around since we were kids. Hope that you have many more bdays to come ate Angelerr!!! Lotsa lovin'

Remember this cake? :) We gave it to you 2 years ago.

Got a whole gigantic can of healthy Quaker Oats for FREE!!! Was grocery shopping with pops, moms and sis when some sales ladeh gavewas giving us sample treats for free. Hahah whole family got a hand load and it pretty much filled up the full empty can. How amazing is that?
Now you can totally snack it up as you wait for traffic to disappear.

Not only are the treats incredibly yummy. They're sugar free and contains 0% Fat. Check the Nutrition table thingy that my sister always looks at everytime she purchases some goodies :))

Missing my ate Joyce.. Haha!
I just love the color on this picture.

Update

2010-02-17T04:02:00.000-08:00

Okay really long update coming up. Let's start with Valentines Day. Everyones been looking forward to it but the most unusual thing happened to me. At 7am I got a phone call from my aunt, pronouncing that my uncle, Tito Madie (mama's brother) passed away. It was heartbreaking and shocking at the same time. I couldn't believe the horror of it because he was just over the condo 3 months ago, perfectly healthy and happy and now he's not here. Heart failure caused it, apparently it was already too late for everything, even before he was scheduled to go to the Manila Heart Center this weeks Monday.

So going back to the phonecall, my aunt was telling me the bad news and obviously it took me some time before it actually sank in my slow brain. As bad as it is, my aunt told me to spill the news to my mom, because she couldn't get a hold of my mom, herself. I, too, tried my moms cell but no one was picking up because she was eating breakfast. So I tried my sisters. And she was able to answer hers although I didn't know how to break the news in a more comforting manner. Infact, there was no easy or comforting manner to tell someone that a person they're close to passed away. I just did the direct approach to get it over with.

Got ready for church and was in no mood to do anything nor sing. But nobody else woulda volunteered. I was extremely drained from lack of sleep to having your inner flesh shiver with the shock of what went on previously. I felt like I wanted to cry but I couldn't cry infront of these strangers. Basically, didn't enjoy Valentines. Went out with some friends and had some Shakey's Super Chocolate shake. Yum!

Sundown came and I couldn't get my sleep up til 5am. Woke up the next day at 11am chatting with my mom and my sister. They cheered me up and updated me with what went down. I miss them so much. Basically it wasn't the smooth Valentine celebration I thought would happen. Haha, Monday evening came. I was cleaning up and throwing the rubbish when I effin had to absent-mindedly lock myself out. Of course I had too much on my mind to think of it but I swear I don't remember locking the door. I had to wait for my sis to get back and hand me the keys. After 2 hours of waiting for her, unfo, she didn't have hers either. Going to plan C which was calling our uncle who had the other copy. He was the closest there was and when he came, he brought the wrong set of keys so we had no choice but to break down the lock. Blahh, in short, everything was going wrong.

Praying to God that it would go uphill from here. :( Please pray for my uncle's soul and for us.

2010-02-12T22:20:00.001-08:00

A great way to cool off is to drop by 7 Eleven and get a huge cuppa Gatorade or any soft drink of your choice for such an affordable price!

IKEA and Pinkberry

2010-02-12T03:15:00.001-08:00

Craving for some Pinkberry goodies. YUM!!!

Browsing through the web and I saw some pretty amazing shots from IKEA. A kitchen can also be a calming place to spend esp when your in for the weekend. Using really dark colors are not always a bad thing because it can give a very positive feel for your rooms too.

I don't mind getting one of these in the future, it gives a very relaxing atmosphere where your kids can definitely chill and kill time. Very spacious and a good entertainment center for young kids to hang out in your homes.

An achromatic color schemed office/bedroom yet a very simple and elegant way of putting a small but effective office esp when your worried about space.

Pictures were taken from IKEA.

fake tat

2010-01-27T01:09:00.000-08:00

FAKE tattoo. Its not real soo I am clarifying it before you guys start freaking out. Just drew it on my inner armish part with gel pen and used my sister's markers which were laying on the table right beside my laptop. Was talking to a friend and was getting bored so my hands decided to grab them pens and started drawing. Made me miss school. Its washable so, moms and pops... not to worry :)

Sister asked me to think a simple dress for hurrr sooo, i copied the sketch and played alittle with them colors. Did it within 5 mins.

eternal love by nuozek

2010-01-15T02:00:00.000-08:00

When with you I'm invincible, protected by your smell, when I think of not being the one who kisses you, I think of a living hell. For as long as I can remember, I've always been afraid, but once I've held you in my sleep, the dreams go on for days. Ive looked at our reflection baby, I cant believe what I see. A boy so truly beautiful is standing there with me. Ive gazed into your eyes, as you looked into mine, its purity in its finest form, I've lost my grasp of time. I only have a small regret... that whats locked up in my mind. Are the most amazing photographs where I document our lives. Eternity is forever, but I'd wait forever more, because I'm no longer just waiting, for that thing worth waiting for.

Thankful

2010-01-07T09:26:00.000-08:00

WELCOME TO 2010!
It's a new year, it's time for another fresh start. But before that, I am thankful for so many things that went down on the previous year.

Thank you God.
For everything that you've blessed me with. For my family. My friends. The comforts of life that you have truly sanctified me with. I have no words to describe how thankful I feel for this year. Without you, I don't think it would be possible for me to have learned so much. You have been there on my hardships and you've helped me believe that there is more to life. I love you, God.

Thank you pops and mums.
You both have been my moral inspiration. You guys have so supporting that it pushes me to do my best and give my all at everything. I'm gonna try to do the best I can, even with the many distractions that go on. Always know that, as your daughter, I am here for you both. You both have sacrificed so much for me and my sisters that I don't know how to show you guys how greatful I am and how blessed I am to be your eldest daughter. You guys are my world and I can never ever imagine spending the holidays without you. I love you mama and papa.

To my sisters.
Even if we don't get along all the time, you both will always have a place in my heart. I may not be the perfect example but I do try my best. Never ever forget that I love you. No matter what we go through or how many strands of hair we pull of each others head, we will always be sisters and we will always have each others back. Love ya ate Tatee and ate Joycee.

To my friends.
Not gonna specify who you guys are anymore. You know who you are.
With my family not being with me all the time, you guys fill in the empty spaces on times when I get homesick and miss em. You guys mean so much and I just wanna thank you for everything you could possibly do to try and cheer me up. Thank you for spending long hours on the phone with me just to have me rambling about how my life used to be. I am so thankful to have you guys in my life.

Thank you thank you thank you.
May this new year be as great as the last one.

Modern designs.

drafts. holidays. ahh!

2009-12-11T20:50:00.000-08:00

It is not my fault I suck at water color pencils :p
I cannot force myself to just stick to dull neutrals. I always fight the urge to throw in dynamic colors when I render. Its just mee.

This will be a real short update. Can't be bothered to put much up on here with so many things going on. Sorry. sowwy. sowie! Late night drafts. + Rendering! I'm sick :( And I'm completely drained out of energy. Taking out my depression on shopping. Really excited for the holidays. I just cannot wait to leave my t-square and drafting mechanics behind!!!See this is my drafting table. Its actually a mini wardrobe
I can't afford my own draft table. :p
Please don't mind the tissue... I was sick!

Got a straight 1.0 on this plate!! I am soo proud. lmao.
First time ever to get one from Sir Jie- Deco ARTS
Research was deffo worth it!

2009-11-12T09:36:00.000-08:00

Torture's been on for a couple of days straight in a row. Feel like I'm slowly withering little by little. Energy drained but I can't complain because the outcome's a satisfactory. :) Just had mid terms for Deco Arts, took me a whole entire night to finish the plate for the kitchen not to mention reviewing for the mid terms wherein everyone of us had to memorize the painting and the painter taught to us during lecture and actually understand what that painting stood for. As soon as I got home, I knocked out and wanna say great thanks to Dione and Danelley for offerin' up a ride home :) Lovely people. Love you both!!

Due later. Just started rendering it 3 hours ago. or more.. I can't really remember anymore but I do know its for errrm... Color Rendering. Good luck to us taking midterms for it lateerrr. Woot. Ima get some shut eye now. :)

starbucks vs homework

2009-11-05T07:30:00.000-08:00

Starbucks has their new set of their holiday drinks up since early on this week. Everyones getting their coffee groove on and has started collecting them stamps for the 2010 Starbucks planner, which on my previous experience... is only available in the Phillipines? Well if not then do correct me. Not that I am bragging or anything. Just got a couple of friends in London, UK and Malaysia who say that their Starbucks outlet do not provide suchness.

Ahh we shall see how much my sister can collect this year though. Hahaha. Maybe I can ask her to give me an extra. She's addicted to them drinkies.

Anyhow, didn't do much on my current deadlines. I am really not in the mood to elaborate with the detailings but I guess I am trying? Barely. Hahah. Pardon me.. I purposely didn't finish the lower part of this piece mainly because I didn't wanna screw it up more than it already is. I attempted to use the complimentary color scheme buuuut... I am not to sure it's working out so well. Oh well... better luck on the next plate. :O

Bye bye diet. I couldn't control myself when I saw the temptation of food within my reach.
I hope next time, I'd be able to keep my word
But for now, I am sincerely not ready.

The cold weather didn't help much either.
It just made me more hungry.

KFC Twister

2009-10-28T22:50:00.001-07:00

YUM!
Its healthy (talking about the twisties.. not the fries)
And it leaves you wanting more.
First bite today.

2009-10-28T08:09:00.001-07:00

Diet ruined by such a simple temptation.
and then the guilt comes.

Moving on, thank you Globe. For giving me FREE P300.00 load to call up my relative who's sick back in La Union. And for my KAPATIDERS for cheering me up during boring MM2. Missed bonding time with you guys and its been a while since we've been having catch up momentos alone. Hope to have it soon. Buahaha!

2009-10-26T05:40:00.000-07:00

I've been looking at old pictures and I've noticed how the CSB life is waaaaay way way way way chiller than it is here in PSID. And guess what? I kinda miss it. Being around young people just around your age. Definitely a way different athmosphere than it is on my design school. Though the more costly, education is more fun.

Was also looking at some old pictures and I miss my long hair. hahaha random no?

My TV isnt working today... meaning, decrease of distraction. Oh wellers I managed to finish me Color Ren II homework. Well over here it aint completely finished yet. Piles are needed for the flooring since its Carpet. Blah too lazy to draw the piles because I know deep down the piles would be the spoiler to the whole picture.

2009-10-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

Weekend's spent watching movies. Actually just chilling to make-up for the stressful sleepless nights I've been having lately. Meet The Robinsons isn't actually a new movie but I have to say, I saw it on Disney Channel's Original Movie yesterday. I was doing my plates and the movie started so my eyes were basically glued to both my plates and the TV.

Good animation and the movie gots its meaning.

Mark and I fooling around with Yahoo Messenger's Scribbler.
I was helpin him color.

It has been awhile since I've posted anything since the concert. Lol. Busy. Yep, the usual excuse. So hey.. here are some photographs of me work which I was doing for overly 18 hours. Yep. Who knew such a plate could be a handful. Its not as good since I only did it for a day.

A plate that cost me alot of sleep but I guess its worth it? I dunno yet. We haven't received our last grades. But yeah.. it took me 3 whole nights to finally feel the woozyness disappear. HA.

Magical Grand Entrance

Grand Finale!! Amazing

Walking home with the tall buildings around Manila.

Got free VIP Tickets to see Liza Macuja- Elizalde's last ballet performance at the Aliw Theater today at 3pm. She is the 1st Filipina Ballerina to win a Laureate Prize - a silver medal from the Asia-Pacific Ballet Competition in Tokyo (1987), the 1st Filipina Ballerina to win the 1st major international award in ballet for the Philippines, the 1st Filipina Ballerina to join the Kirov Ballet in Russia (1984), the 1st Filipina Artist-in-residence at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (1986), also the Founder of Ballet Manila AND SHE GOES TO DE LA SALLE'S Parish every single sundayyy!! Which means I see her almost every weekend!

She is seriously a generous person. Really privileged and thankful for all the greatness she's done. She is a delightful and friendly person :) Ohhh, did I mention she's an amazing ballerina?!!? Well she is!!! Dances like a graceful light feather. Gosh.. it was a jaw dropping performance.

PS: All camera's and video corders were not allowed inside. But I just HAD to show it up and decided to take the risk. Bahah!

Kids kids kids

2009-10-16T17:24:00.000-07:00

First Attempt: Its all smuged all over. Why? I forgot to paste the tape properly, due to excitement. :)

Second attempt: Excitement builds up as I notice I am doing it right this time!

Wohoo!!!! I made it! hahaha :D

School. I was all psyched up to use me markers and yesterday we were given that opportunity. hahah. I was hella curious how you could use the graded wash technique using markers. Its something I always wanted to use because markers have really thick end points meaning the more strokes you give the more faster you get done with your masterpiece.

Little did I know that all these graded washness techniques could be done with just the simple needs of:
1) The markers of your choice
2) Unused cotton buds
3) Isoprophyl Alcohol (70% solution)

mhm.. First attempt may be a mess( New markers, new user)... but after a few practice you will get the hang of it

Besides school, I've been looking at youtube for more videos to post and I have a question for yaaa...Don't children make you smile? :) They make me smile... ALOT! hahah. ~~NOOO~~, They make me laugh alot. :)

Look closely at 0.52, looks like he's about to rap and I think it took the win for the whole video.

PS: He ate the last cookie. But hey we all gotta admit, this kid is good! ;)

This little girl right here is a true diva :) She reminds me of a friend! :D

kure colored markers

2009-10-13T08:44:00.000-07:00

Just bought my first set of ZIGKure-Colored Markers. Shooters cost 4 friggin K!
Finishes my allowance for the month, eh? :|

I cannot sleep.
Too much on my head.
Do I let you go?
Maybe.

I'm unsure.
Unsure of too many things
I'm afraid to do something,
act upon it.

I fear.
What happens?
What happens afterwards?
What consequences do I face?
Which part do I fix?
Can I?
Am I capable of putting it back

to what we... used to be?

Jojo's Fashion Show Quote

2009-10-04T05:49:00.000-07:00

Which way is she turning in the image above?

If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain. If you see her turning anti-clockwise, you are using your left brain. Some people can see her turning both ways, but most people see her only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.

If you can switch between seeing her turn either way at will without shifting your gaze, your IQ is above 160 … which is almost at genius level!

This was devised at Yale University for a 5 year study on the human brain and its functions.

Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways. via: leveragingideas

its confirmed. i am a genius. i can make her turn both ways at will if i focus on her foot and shadow. via: nudawn

So can I, as well as if I shift my train of thought.

When I move my head from side to my side I can shift the way she’s turning, without taking my eyes off the same spot.

Hope y'all had a good weekend! ( :

ps: PICTURES ARE NOT FROM ME. !!!

They are from various artists all over flickr. And Tumblr. So if you want the link of the artists/ photographers let me know and I'd be happy to send you my source. Just put them here so I can show you these amazing shots.

idle

2009-10-03T07:34:00.001-07:00

Feeling completely idle
And useless
Your stuck in this place
Because
you're afraid
To go out
and get hurt
by what's out there
You have
no choice
but to
bare
with yourself
and what runs in your head.

Feeling completely idle

Your stuck in this place

Been useless all week,
Gave me time to procastinate and just enjoy

proud of my country

2009-09-30T05:20:00.000-07:00

Its been four days since the hurricane Ondoy struck Manila(and the other parts of the Philippines), everyone is helping each other out and its nice to see unity formulating in the country. Never really saw anything like it and the fact that everyone still smiles and looks forward to a better day is just heart-warming. Never though the Filipinos could be such optimists at such circumstances even with all the shocking happenings going on. Hopefully, the country will be back to its normal state soon. Classes have been suspended to help everyone back at their own feet. People have been volunteering at shelters to help out those who've lost their homes and needs food and clothing.

I've been idle all week since our school gave us a week's term break and now we're given another extension to that weeks vacation due to the calamity. I've been basically staying at home and catchin up on some sleep. Being unproductively idle. Procrastinating and cleaning the house. Spending the time home with MB is completely relaxing. Watching movies and talking to the phone is the best. Well, got Chinese food for dinner and made spaghettoes for brunchies!

Hope everyone is fine.

Lots of loverness!
:]

We are on our last week in PSID for our third term. Worried about my MM2 grades so fellars please please pleassse pray for me graders! Projects are flooding in. Not to mention more more more PLATES! Grr! Got to work on Ergo's final project for the term this afternoon. Spent the whole day drafting and figuring out where the furniture was to be placed.

Sleepless nights are finally coming to an end one by one. But there is still the last quiz for MM2 to perfect, Color rendering finals and also furniture styles final exam and chair design :/ This is all too much for my little head to handle. Been trying to catch up on sleep as much as I can. The weather is surely not helping much with my productivity pace! Neither is it helping with my laundry drying because my clothes have been wet for 3 days! NOT PROGRESSIVE! UH OH! I am seriously running outta clothes to wear, so what do you doooo? WEAR YOUR PJs TO SCHOOL!

Lately there has been a great deal of lackage on sleep. I cannot say all the nights have been productive. To be honest, I've been slacking more than ever. Finishing plates the day before submission if not later. And I cannot blame anyone for my actions. More plates coming in and a new project/ presentation due in two weeks. I am not too excited about the fact that AutoCad is involved in our courses next term. Another new place to hit but hey if im surviving classes in PSID, then this will not be too much of a difference.

Been cleaning the house since its been a mess. Sister doesnt have mucho timeness on her hands since its her finals up til tomorrow so its up to me to keep the place in one piece. Honestly, I just had one of the longest naps in history of my nap times. Made it to a record of 7 hours. hahahaha see how plates keep me up?!?! Ugh!

So today I wont really be talking mucho about me. I'll give you guys an update of my friend's little friend Baby Abdiel. Its been a while since I've posted him up but thats because I havent been seeing him in a while. Got a couple of updates and here it goes.

This kid is amazingly adorable and extremely smart. No joke!

2009-08-31T04:17:00.000-07:00

So days have passed by since my last blog. It's around the busiest part of the school term so plates are overflowin like water ina waterfall. I haven't had the chance to go post new entries on here so I'm grabbin the chance to do it now before I go memorize another chapter of my Materials & Methods 2 hand out.

Purchased a book from Nationals since its been over 2 and a half years since I read an actual book. No joke.

Its taking me longer than I expected to finish it since we have a que of never-ending plates comin in. Highly needed to be finished and submitted. But besides being a freak and not doing them, been spending alot of time outside to distract myself from the internet. Tyrna avoid people although I have to confess, being outside makes me wanna eat like a pig and danggg its eatin up all my allowance. Mhm mhm!

I have ate Angelica hangin out with me since my sister is too busy studying for her finals. So goodluck to her. Been chillin at Robinsons Place yesterday with the both of them. Attempted to memorize the lovely chapter of Draperies. Unsucessful though. Ended up getting frustrated and ofcourse, depended on food for comfort. Yummy!

The loverly ate Angelica with her pretty brown eyes! Look at it intensely, I suggest! haha!

Penang Hill's amazing Hainese Chicken reminds me of the ayam dari Brunei.

Tandurri chicken.. uhm its not so good.Color Rendering's Plate for the week. Took me like 30 mins to rush this piece so please quit being a critique. I already know its not the best sample but hey just thought I'd post it up here.

Now people, wish me luck for me quiz tomorrow.

busy

2009-08-16T20:39:00.000-07:00

Days go by. So far even if I am sick and unwell I've managed to tackle one subject over the weekend. More plates to come but I think I will be okay. I should take some time to unwind but there is seriously no time for that. I wish that the 6 months vacay after my Basic Course would be spend doing something productive otherwise, I would be a little off my track.

Plan on doing some photography lessons. Maybe get a license so I can help mama fetch and pick Joyce up from school. It would be good if I was to get healthy take care of myself.

Now its raining and its cold. Love the weather. :]

Have a good day!

Chairs from the French Empire, French Neo-classics, French Baroque and French Regency (Not in order)

happy birthday tata!

Two major exams the next day. Furniture Styles with Ergonometrics. Talk about stress.

But I also didn't want to bring a reviewer at Healthy Shabu-Sbabu Resto looking like a geek so I just went with the flow. The dishes were dang healthy. Its not my thing but since it was my sister's birthday, I did allow her to get it her way. The food wasn't bad. Very fresh and healthy stuff. You getta do your own cooking as you eat which was pretty interesting because you are given a variety of seasonings according to your taste. Well I have to say it was something I havent tried in a loooooong time.

After eating, walked around the mall for afew hours. Was tryna hail a cab for one and a half hour. Friggin long which gave me a cold and sore feet. MB, I need a foot massage again honey! :D Well as soon as we got home, I layed all my reviewes out and started burning me eyebrows. Not literally but yenno what I mean dood. Hahahah! Slept at 2am and woke up at 7.

Now I'm sick and since I love y'all Ima update you! hahaha kiddang ;]

..actually I'm serious. -.-

We’re all looking for that one thing, one thing that makes us all complete.
Some take forever to find it,while others get very lucky.
Some find it beyond the places, while some have it in front of them.
Some take forever, while others just know it in an instant.
Some find it in the face of their children, others find it in their lover’s eyes.
In the end, we all ultimately come down to one thing.

Finding love. ♥

Torre Lorenzo's, Starbucks boys bathroom. The ladies' one was too watery. Janitor said use the mens..

Rainy chilly day :) Had to be productive.

luckyy

2009-08-04T14:33:00.000-07:00

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me

I'm inlove with this video <3 by Taylor Swift. :]

school

2009-08-03T17:10:00.001-07:00

Might head to class a little late because its raining and I'm uber lazy to head out to my interesting journey to class. Might stop by get a hot coffee to go but then again, I might just ignore and go straight to class. Quiz for MM2. UGHHH!!!!

Also, might head for a new haircut. This old one is boring me out of the blues.

Word: San Miguel Beer Light aint my thing. haahahah! Its just too carbonated for my liking. And it tastes like gasoline.

My sister Tata.

2009-08-01T04:17:00.000-07:00

Hahaha sooo, experimentation wasnt too smooth only because I had the time limit of half an hour :)
She was panicking too much and all she did was talk about how she dont wanna look like a prostie
so i was like dood relax and lemme do me job!

She looked pretty happy..

Remember how fashion icons and designers would always say "As long as I can make the client feel happy. Be happy about my work, I'm a happy designer." Well yeah Tata was like, " I actually feel like a girl." And I just smiled :) BIG TIME!

She's grown into a woman. And yeah we may not see eye to eye but I love her in whatever way. No matter how many fights we have. Ohh well.

Brunch at Rice Taft Ave. and then took a shower and headed straight to robinsons to catch The Orphan with ate Angela and Angelica.

The movie wasnt scary though. Its just a thriller of a coo coo head who just wants to feel loved and cared for. But if she goes on like that, I doubt anyone will. She's basically a killer who tries to steal other peoples hubby.
Its weird how, people here drink all those usual cold drinks you get.. the frappucinos, the ice lattes and cold coffee when the weather is super gloomy and dull. Oh well. Gotta help my sistahh get ready for her friend's debut. :]

Busy day :)

2009-07-31T08:13:00.000-07:00

So for once in my life in a long time, I kept myself busy and out of the house all day because I noticed that my skin is getting wayyy too pale. Looking like a bloody vampire already which isnt too healthy sooo prolly for as long as I can I might be going out soon. One disadvantage is that its too costly. Way out of the budget since I didn't get to spend on much for the month of July I used whatever is left over allowance to buy me a new shirt :DNot really the type of girl who likes to splurge on myself so this is kinda a big deal. Please be understanding and just bare with me :)

My sister who's been to the mall hours before I did... (was doing plates with Kat Kat and Danelley) got her friend a debut present which she would be attending tomorrow. She got her body waxed. Somewhere. Hahaha. Ate like the best spicy pepperoni pizza in the world and OMG their milkshake is amazingly good too. Should try it :D

Oh and its my first time trying out this dancing mat with Camille. Genuis way to work out dood! Swear!

Tiring day but its something different.

Good video :]] I think it should be shared.
I LOVE FILIPINOS!

love

2009-07-28T22:41:00.000-07:00

love is a bite with a result more vicious than rabies. it leaves you senseless, on the ground, with your tongue out.. growling.

Two days without class, shouldn't I be happy? My mind sets off in an unknown place, I dread to reach. I need something that will help me avoid that. For now, it's the carelessly given plates by the academic human sample. But what if that runs out? Would I prolong this unjustly behavior that keeps attempting to steal me away from reality?

Hahaha lets see if you guys can get that. It was made to confuse for a reason :]

May be the only thing that cheered me up all day. God my life is depressing atm.

love

2009-07-27T05:38:00.001-07:00

What do I want?

I don't wanna be worshiped, I just want to be loved.
I don't wanna be touched, I wanna be held.
I don't want you to beg me not to leave, I just want you to ask me to stay so I know you care.
I don't wanna be your number one, I wanna be your only one.
I don't wanna mean alot to you, I wanna mean EVERYTHING to you

Too much?
Then you have too little to offer.
Goodbye!

Soooooooo, it's official. A whole 3 day weekend gets me laaaaaazy. Uber damno lazy!

I can't even help myself. I try to reach out for that pencil but by doing so I get distracted with something else, if not someone. Oh well, I'm trying to discipline myself but there are just waaay too many distractions. I'm trying!! Disciplina-rehaab!!

So I went to school thinking, Uh oh! You didn't do no CR Homework dood! You are in Tro-u-blee!

I guess my conscience told me to just try doing it during lunch break and I guess I was in luck cos I managed to finish and get it all dry before submission. Handing homeworks at a really last minute phase is fun. Well the adrenaline issss but, its not safe! haaha!

Homework: Plate 4: Graded Wash (Dunzo within 30 minutes like whoa!)

Girls Night Out. Kareoke. Stress-free! [:

2009-07-18T08:16:00.000-07:00

A weekend of unwinding with my sister, Ate Angela and Ate Angelica. We just couldnt help but have fun after all it is a weekend. We just needed to relax and have a good laugh on the sillyness we had within us :]

TinyPic
Tata's & Angela's version of No Air by Chris Brown ft Jordan Sparks :]
Dont mind the freakish laugh. Fun is what we were there for. We were all kinda out of it.

TinyPic
Mines and Ate Angelica's version of Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith.
Tata tryna butt in, ofcourse!

So Freehand Drawing II classes are such a handful, you actually have to search up the internet, look for furniture designs for the client's taste and profile. Its too much for me to take but I have no choice but to suck it all up and just take it in. Although while working on the research part, I did find afew interesting photos that I really like.

2009-07-12T05:42:00.000-07:00

So classes have been up and I haven't doing much at all except lazing on and about and just taking my time enjoying the free time that I have. Been watching movies and been contemplating much per movie.. hahaha

So far this has been a wonderful weekend. "Up" was an amazing film and it seriously got me crying like a baby and I really like the plot of the movie. You should watch it ;] Back to drafting tomorrow which is hatttttee! but hey, its part of school.

2009-07-04T23:25:00.000-07:00

vacaysss over :( sad but i have to suck it in. hope i have a safe trip back home..

Hot drink when your sick.

2009-06-30T07:34:00.001-07:00

When you're sick, It's pretty good to drink up a nice hot mug of Honey Lemon Drink. Really easy to make so it would prolly take up less than 5 minutes of your time.

Just boil up some water, once done, fill up 3/4 of your mug with the hot water.
Slice up half a lemon and
pour 2 teaspoons of honey in your mug
Use a spoon to squish out your lemon in the mug

and Drink up!

This drink are for those with a flu, cold, itchy throat or even just for warming up on a cold weather :)
