funny.

The end is where I begin.

I’m free.  Free from the everyday acts of killing everybody with kindness and accepting bull like its free candy. Free from waking up knowing exactly how the day would end and sleeping late to avoid waking up to tomorrow. And thank goodness I am free from the emperors I meet everyday showing off their new clothes.  Today I am free to face my uncertainties and the disasters that come with it. I will face fear, panic, and constant mind alterations. I shall shake them warmly by the hand, offer them some tea and then let them be on their way. I am free to start again and go where the heaven and earth will me to be. I will be there as soon as I figure out how.  Now if only I have a clue...Dear Papa Jesus, first letter?

Can't buy me Love!

I love the 60's. Two reasons: The Beatles and Twiggy, especially her short dresses...mostly her short dresses and hairstyle. My uncle celebrated his birthday last Nov. 13 with a sixties theme and I am talking about it just now, can you imagine how busy I've been!...(nah.) The whole family was excited to go back to the 60's. I think everybody bought dresses to wear and almost all of us got them at Get Laud. That store has been improving in terms of style. When I was in college I only knew about that brand when we needed to buy plain t-shirts to wear for a school event or something, but now I noticed a lot of classy dresses. Although it's a bummer that most of the dresses come in free sizes, meaning they do not fit very well to my body. Some are just a little shorter or a little bit bigger. The dress I was wearing was very short, the conservative in me was having second thoughts, but my aunts say that dresses back then were really short, so the hell with it. We had a good time! I do not, I repeat do NOT normally dance at parties but this time the music really hit me. The band they hired, umm bloomfields...bloomers...bloom something, a bunch of nerdy looking cute dudes, were really good! too bad I couldn't remember their real name! tsk. But really they were great I super enjoyed! They played most of my favorite Beatles songs and some from the Beach Boys too! Awesome! It was pure clean family bonding F-U-N! Dude, I was dancing like nobody's watching, umm in this case, it may be true since I suck at dancing and most of the people near me were better dancers, the people were probably watching them instead of me. So whatever I did what Gaga would do...I "just danced!"

goodnight everybody! we are the posers!

Quarter Life Sucks.

How many of them really know what they want, though? I mean, a lot of them think they have to know, right? But inside they don't really know, so... I don't know ,but I know that I don't know.

If I was an animal...

A few months back I learned that Penguins find their "soul mates" thru the sounds they produce and once they find "the penguin" they stay with them forever. So i said to myself if ever I was reincarnated I would want to be a penguin. But now I am not so sure anymore since I saw these cute Kigus! They are the cutest adult onesies ever everrr and I hear they're very big in Japan! I wish I can make one for myself someday and then wear it to a costume party, or whenever I feel like being something else. They make for a good pajama too, i think. dang! I want one!

a care bear!

a panda! this is too cute!

I found out about these cute costumes called KUGI from the Diesel Campaign Ad: Be Stupid. A bunch of people dressed like animals raced to Noah's Ark, or something like that. I read about it here. 

The Diesel Ads are pretty cool too. Here is my favorite.

2011 Planner: What will you be?

One more thing to get excited about the next year, besides the possibility of going to school again, or having a new job (whatever happens first) and my sister coming home for the holidays, is getting my own 2011 planner. For 2010 I manged to complete the stickers for the Starbucks planner. I wasted a lot of money and got addicted to coffee but it was great. It had a hard cover with nice texture and the paper quality was nice. I also liked that it was wider than the usual notebook so I had a lot of space for my thoughts, rants, and doodles. For this year, I am not really liking the new planner at Starbucks, it does look pretty (i like the wood cover, or the red velvety one) but I am just not liking the part where I have to spend a lot more money for the thing and having to wait for more stickers, and drinking more coffee than I should, everything just feels like hard work and I am just not up for it. I have been checking out the Moleskin Planner they have at Fullybooked and it looks amazing! The size and thickness of it looks right. That didn't sound right. Anyway, let me rephrase. The Moleskine planner looks like it can fit perfectly with the bags I have. I like that it dedicates one whole page for one day, because really a lot can happen in 24 hours. So I am really controlling myself and my budget. I hope it does not cost more than 2k because I am going to be broke come December. I may be free as a bird that month but my budget is going to kill me by caging in all my material desires. I should look for a part time job or something. For the meantime I'll google some more 2011 planners. You never know what's out there.

2011 Moleskine Daily Planner that I might buy.

It's in the bag.

Look what boredom produces.

Inspired by the tumblr blog thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com and the bratpack campaign last Manila Design Week where a bunch of famous people showed what's inside their bag. No one says you have to be famous to do this. So I made one for myself. My things look so pretty and organized when arranged like this but really when they're in my bag it takes a moment for me to get what ever it is I need.

Stuff inside:

• Cellphone
• Snowy iPod
• Batman iPod
• Cassette Tape Case for the twinpods made by my cool friend Trixie.
• Mascara
• Powder
• Eye Color
• Lip & Cheek Tint
• Lip Gloss
• Tic Tac
• Hand Lotion
• Keys
• Clips and Grips
• Gummy Bears
• Aviator Shades
• Notebook for my to-do lists and doodles
• 2010 planner for more to-do lists and more doodling space
• Trusty Pen
• Book: Pretending you care by Norman Feuti. Helps me stay sane.
• Wallet

 Oh what fun. This entertained me pretty well.

I hate when this happens!!! *^$*@#!

it's happening.
it's that time in my life again when I feel so helpless and sleepless and just less...without him. darn it!

Daria-fy Yourself!

I did this last Halloween. I was so frustrated that I couldn't go to a real decent costume party, so I played dress up. I've been watching Daria Episodes lately so I was psyched when I found perfect pieces that look like Daria Morgendorffer's outfit. Green blazer, check! Brown shirt, check! Pleated black skirt, check! Black boots (that you won't see in the pictures), check! Nerdy glasses, Check! (I wish I had round nerdy glasses 'tho.) Dead pan facial expression, check! I am not the typical vain female who takes pictures of herself with her cellphone, or webcam, or in front of a mirror. Sure I like having group pictures, but taking pictures of myself is something I have to learn to get used to. It just feels weird and awkward. So here is my first attempt at vanity, I mean self-portraits.

TIMER FAIL. 

 

 

 

 

 Obviously 5 seconds isn't enough for me to be in position.

I find it weird, irritating, and amazing how a group of well dressed pretty Korean girls can make me feel out of place in my own country. They talk so fast that even if  I try desperately to try and understand what they are all saying, my attempts fail. Yes, I want to eavesdrop. I find their language very interesting. They speak with so much excitement that just by listening to them you can sorta know what they mean. Another thing I like about them Koreans is that every single one of them knows how to dress. I'm store manager of a store in a mall, so I always "people watch." Koreans are my favorite past times. I stare at them. Not in a creepy way, I try my best not to look creepy. haha. But really I like their style. They have the best dresses and their shoes are awesome! Where do they buy their shoes? One time I asked a koreana where she bought her shoes. I couldn't help it. She was very nice and flattered. Lastly, why do they have perfect hair? Why? They are cute pretty people. I like them. I even browse the online korean stores for fun. I just enjoy looking at them. If I was a real creep I'd take pictures of all of them. :)

photos not mine. google grabbed. lazy.

It's plain scary, disturbing, violent, and in a weird way inspiring.

I'm downloading... yay! Now at 16.2%.
The Exchange Policy of Superga is to blame for all the rage I'm feeling right now.
Why the hell won't they exchange them damn shoes? Whyyyyyyyy.
I still love the Superga shoes, they just aren't "The One"
