Birthday Wishlist Granted
My wish for a new phone was never granted coz I have decided to have a 5-year depreciation for my L6. And, I didn't have the time and the mood to have a nail art. I did and still do paint my nails with exciting colors. ;)
I did receive a digicam, Sony W120. :DI have my Sony 16 gig USB Flash Drive. It doesn't have a mickey mouse head, but it increased 12gigs in memory :)A pink skinny jeans, which ended up to my niece after using them 5 times.A black Manels pumps which I bought October last year to match our office uniform.And...purple Havaianas! I changed my mind about the white one the moment I had a glimpse of the purple jelly ones!
Now that I am 24, I have shifted 180 degrees. I still want world peace. But different priorities. Enough with the material things, I want a continuous harmonious, love-filled relationship with my husband, pretty good health for him and me, a peaceful sail for him when he's on work, and finally... a BABY. 1-2 years from now. :)

Back in The Game
I've changed status, my hair's chocolate brown, my pimples are back and I think I'm gonna be sick today. My flu's back and hopefully this is not bad.
For the "almost" 5 months that I'm gone in here, I've done tons of things:
- Last May 3 we had a company outing in Anhawan, Oton, and I hope everybody had a lot of fun. Coz I did!
- Attended my uncle's burial :(
- My then-fiance last May, now my husband ;), came home.
- I was bridesmaid to my cousin's May 16th wedding :D
- Kissed by three gorgeous Korean hunks during a fiesta in my Tita's house. Hahah!
- Had lots of fun looking for my civil wedding outfit. 8-} As well as my husband-to-be's outfit, gosh, that one was a tough job!
- Wed my one-year boyfriend, but friend since childhood :D
- Cried hard and lots every time my husband would go to Manila :(
- Had a horrible share of flu and cough, even consulted a doctor for that.
- Godmother-ed my niece, whose one godfather is my ex. It turns out now that I and my ex are kumpares and kumares already! I believe it's destiny for past-lovers. Nyaha!
So, here I am again :P And oh, happy birthday to me :D

When it comes to F A S H I O N
Anyway, back to the blog, I want to share this excerpt I have read from it, "Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women." This was according to Elsa Schiaparelli, a 1930's Italian designer. See the truth in there? It's overwhelming to see other women, especially those who are fashionistas in-the-making ;), staring at your outfit with envy in their eyes. Hah!
And then I realized, what's very overwhelming why women wear very, very nice outfit because it's a self-fulfillment. You want to look good for yourself. That would be it!

Kutner Dies in HOUSE
Just watched the Simple Explanation episode of House and Kutner died! I can't believe that his character would have that too much drama in the end. I have come to like him in House, eventhough I've known him to be starring in a crappy spoof movie. He was like this goody, goody persona in House who was very childlike and nobody would think to not adore him.
In a celebrity blog that I've read yesterday, Kal Penn (Kutner's real name), actually resigned from House. He will have a change of career path and that newer path would be politics. He will serve the current President of the USA, Barack Obama, as an associate director in the White House’s Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs.

Sibling L O V E
We were in our cousin's house last February. This cousin of mine died of cardiac arrest in Saudi Arabia. She worked as a domestic helper there and she left two children. One seven-year-old and a four-year-old. My cousin and their father were separated, so these two children, since then, were living with my cousin's parents.
With what had happened, of course, all of the relatives gathered up and contributed moral and financial support to the family. I pitied the most these two children who, at the very young age, lost their mother and clueless enough to remember what just happened to her. Because of that tragedy, my aunt, who can be very generous and has the money to offer such generosity, proposed to get the seven-year-old and let him live with her. Treat him like her own and support him until he finishes school. Upon hearing that proposal, the younger sister, ran to their room and cried. At first, we never bothered to ask why she cried, we were thinking she just wanted to drink that chocolate drink which she has been asking her grandpa to get. But my cousin, the daughter of my Aunt, tried to console her and asked her what she wanted. She then heard the little girl crying while saying something like, 'don't get my brother, don't let him leave me'.
A four-year-old saying something like that? She understood already what was happening. I was very touched by that thought. She loves her brother so dearly that even at a very young age, she just doesn't want them to be separated from each other. Yes, she was even smiling when the photographer took a picture of her together with their mother's coffin, but the LOVE that's living inside her is purest and very innocent.

10 Reasons Why I and My Ex won't ever get back together
Here are the reasons why there's no chance that I and my ex won't ever get back together again:
2. When I see him, I could think and say to myself that I was inlove with this guy before. It feels unrealistic now. :)
3. I broke his heart. :(
4. He broke mine too, well, he's been breaking it eversince we started the relationship.
5. We do not have the same level of understanding, he has his principles, I have mine. :P
6. He didn't allow me to go near the stage when there was a Bamboo concert. Nyaha. :D
7. He didn't allow me to wear a bikini and have a henna tattoo when I was in Boracay. Nyahaha.
8. He can be violent when he is really really mad. Punches a wall, hits his head with a Red Horse bottle (omg, I just realized this, I'm really not getting back with him :D), I was afraid he might mistaken me as a wall or a bottle of Red Horse in the end. :P
9. Our personality clashed. He follows what he wants, and I couldn't bend to them. ;)
10. I am much, much more and more H A P P I E R now with my fiance. Naks. Hahah.

P R I N C E S S.
Her husband is an Italian who is the son of a prince. So that makes them a prince and a princess.
Now, I have a reason to post this House cast members photo.Olivia is the one leaning on Jesse Spencer's chair with all her hotness and royalness.
Please see this video which proves she's a real princess!

To New RNs, Congratulations!!!
I never imagined him to take Nursing as a course considering his addiction to gamings and computers when he was just a high school student. But then, nothing beats a dream to succeed. To all NLE board passers, you newly-registered nurses, better serve our nation first before going out of the country! Wehehehe! Kidding! It's your choice, anyway. I can do nothing about it. :D
NLE results are here!

Overdue New Year's Resolution
Exercise is one new thing in my new year's resolutions, which is by the way, getting longer and longer as I'm becoming older. I never had a problem with doing this going-healthy and getting-some-sexy-body routine back then. I was too thin to exercise. Way too thin. Now what I will do, I'll follow the Law of Attraction, and then jog starting May, 2009. Why May of all the months in a year and why not January to start the year right? And of all things, why jog?
Jog. Because I'm afraid I might get backpains if ever I'll have some flexi-exercising. I have scoliosis and I think it won't go right. But according to what I have read and watched, exercise is very good for people suffering from scoliosis. I did taebo once, but my, the whole week my back kept on aching.
And then May, for romantic reasons. I do not have someone to jog with. And it's just so horrifying for me to think that I jog without a companion. I will feel really awkward, I think. There are people who jog alone, but that's my case. :D So forgive me.
And May again because my boyfriend who is not here at the present, will come home on that Month. He will be my companion. And I think that would be just great. ;)

I wonder where you've been
I cant look at you while I'm lyin next to him

25 Random Things About Me
1. I like ironing my hair with flat irons for hair. Haha! I know it can, in some way, damage my hair, but it does give a very shiny outcome! :D
2. I used to not like branded products (I'm a Marketing graduate and I know how they work :D), but when I started working I learned their value. Let's just say I look for quality now.
3. I enjoy taking pictures of people unaware with their backs facing me. It's very candid and true.
4. And I enjoy taking pictures of myself. Hahah. Certified camwhore. 8-}
5. I get uneasy when facing a newly-found friend and I always think of things to talk about. As much as possible, I don't want silence to rule.
6. I am not aware that I look grumpy at times. My brows meet when I think of something, or when just staring at something interesting. And that's why maybe I am misinterpreted as snobbish.
7. And I wasn't aware that I can really make my eyes bulgy and big by just showing some expressions when talking exaggeratedly. I only knew about this until my friends told me or react to my expression.
8. I have an annoying voice, that's what they say. Hahah. I don't find my voice annoying, it's just high-pitched! Maybe others get irritated with the way I talk? I don't know...
9. If I would have millions of money, I plan to acquire a place wherein I can keep and care for stray dogs and cats. I really feel for them. Adopt each of them that I might find in the road.
10. Sometimes, I ask God why there are "taong-grasa" people. Anything stray, my heart bleeds when I see them.
11. I have learned to put on my everyday make-up when I was 22 years old. I am 23 now, that's like last year, and embarassing-ly, I learned how to do it from my 18 year-old cousin. Hahah!
12. I really thought when I was in grade school that Yakult is yucky. Because, after you've drank that one little bottle, there's a very icky, phlegm-y substance left in your throat. But now, give all your Yakult to me and I'll drink 'em! :P
13. I really have this cool and gwapo impression with semi-calbo and long-haired guys. ;)
14. I was addicted to Desperate Housewives Seasons 1 and 2 last 2007. And now with House. 8-}
15. My illnesses that would cause me not to go to work, would always be stomach-related. Stomachaches, indigestion, spasm. Name them. Wehehe.
16. I used to be just 47 kilograms when I was in 4th year college.
17. I just find drummers to be astig. And I'm planning to have a summer course on how to use those drumsticks. One day...:D
18. My fashion sense would depend on my mood. I can't be a jeans-tshirt-sneakers girl all the time. When I feel like it's a "dress day", I'd wear a dress! And when I feel like it's a "pawala" day, see me at my worst. Hahah!
19. I am engaged to marry my boyfriend. ;)
20. I am very particular with boys' fingernails and toenails. They should be clean and not uncut! Major turnoff would be guys with long fingernails. Eeew.
21. I am forgiving, but I cannot forget. Don't abuse my kindness, or else...
22. My parents thought that gymnastics would be my talent when I grow up. I used to do this sideward tumbling very very straight, and I used to read a book slumping on the floor with my two front legs up leaning on the wall! Wahah!
23. I really cried hard when my puppy died back at July 2007. It was really like a scene in a dramatic TV series when I was half-awake and overheard my father told my mother, "Teh isugid ta na sa iya nga napatay si Yuri?" And Nanay answered, "Hindi lang anay, buas lang." Huwaaaah!
24. I have this ipod nano which I thought I really own. Its over a year with me already, and then my older sister is still claiming it until now. Hahah! And I'm still not giving it back!
25. I can sleep from 7 AM to 7 PM everyday, straight! Without eating my lunch. :D

Dagyang Ta!
I am a pure Ilonggo and there was only one time that I have walked in the streets of Iloilo City during the Dinagyang. It was during the sunday event in which the Ati-Ati contest is being held. Though I have wanted to chase those performing tribes again and again, I think I would just settle to watch them on TV for this time. The excitement and the thrill that I felt the first time I witnessed it live will never be the same. I am too old and weak to grace the streets of crowded people and by just thinking of the heat, I already die! Hahah! You see, sometimes, I am an extrovert, but then, I am really an introvert person.
Dinagyang does not only boast its Kasadyahan and Ati-Atihan Tribes contests, but the feast in the downtown area of the city is very overwhelming. Yes, did I say it is a festival? :D Concerts here and there, and never ever forget the food festival! After the Ati-Atihan contest, wait till you experience the merrymaking. Even other Ilonggos wait for the Ati-Ati contest to finish while watching it on TV, and then run to the downtown for the merrymaking. Now, I'll say that the second best part of the festival is the merrymaking. Bamboo's concert is first. Nyahah! Kidding! Seriously, it's the religious belief of the Ilonggo people that is always standing tall. Giving that little child, Sto. NiƱo, the neverending love and devotion.
[I and my friends when we were just naive girls. 8-}]
As I was joking about Bamboo in the previous paragraph, yes, Bamboo will come to Iloilo this Dinagyang 2009. Yes, they are always here! And that's why I so love this band! ;) As I've said, on Sunday, January 25, 2009, I'll be sitting in front of the boobtube and see who's gonna grab the first prize on the contest. But the night before that, I'll be putting on my rock n' roll suit :D and rock with Bamboo in the carpark of the The Venue in Boardwalk, Benigno Aquino Avenue. See yah! I'll surely enjoy it and of course I'll enjoy the Ati-Ati contest on the next day. ;)[And here's Bamboo for the teaser ;)]

Jesse Spencer: I never knew I was inlove with him
With his then-fiancee Jennifer Morrison ( Dr. Allison Cameron in House MD)
Okay, enough of that intro. Here comes the dream! Hehehe! He's Australian in real life and he talked Hiligaynon in my dream just this day. Cool, huh? And the setting of the dream, he was my fellow castaway in Survivor! Hahaha! Cool again, huh? Hahah! And the not so really cool part, one final challenge was, each castaway was given a gun. A true gun, which when you shoot it, it kills somebody. How gory can it be? Now, the challenge is to use that gun to kill every castaway that you can find in my house (house ko pa talaga). I was so nervous to be killed, I got out of the house and was surprised to see JESSE SPENCER!!! coming after me! Waaaah! He said he'll be a ball of crap if he stayed in that Survivor challenge and better be with me than die. ;) ILOVEYOU Jesse! Nyaha!
And when we were walkin', he held my hands. We arrived in my aunt's house and when I was so becoming believable in telling the gory details of that crap Survivor challenge, I turned to him to get his agreement. Unfortunately, he didn't nod to agree, he lowered his neck and kissed my still-open mouth. Nyaaak! Hahaha! And from that moment, I realized, I was and forever will be inlove with Jesse Spencer who is an Australian and speaks in Hiligaynon. Cool, huh? :D
Hunk-y in that labgown ;)
