Sarah and I on our next lives

I don't know when it started but I can't believe that I've turned into a cat lady.

I was never an animal person. My friends with pets know this because I'm one of those annoying friends who harass their pets semi-physically by shoo-ing them away and verbally abuse them telling them how ugly they are (the pets) which always ends up with my friends secretly hating me. :3

But the wheel has turned and everything has changed because I super find cats adorable and I want to own one. I can not wait for me to become an official cat lady when I finally have my own cat only God knows when.

Recap for the past months. A lot of things happened and they happened so quickly. The lifestyle of people nowadays are so fast paced that even the events are so fast I can't cope.

To summarize everything that happened, I'm just happy to be where I am now. I'm happy for the things that have happened to me in the past because as cliche as it sounds, they made me, uhhhmm I hate to say this but, stronger and wiser.

I'm happy. :) and I think that's what's most important. Isn't that our purpose in life more than to be financially wealthy. HAHA

Blogging Hiatus

I've been on a hiatus because surprisingly, I've been really busy with real life. Makes me miss my virtual life (as if I have one. lol)

July started really well. My week has been really good since this Monday and until today I'm still in this happy bubble. I don't think anyone can ever burst it and kill my vibe. I'm just too happy and been really lucky lately.

July is my month. Claiming it!!

New month's resolution: Use 3G less so I wont get extra charges on my phone bill!!!! MUST RESIST.

Girlsgirlsgirls

One thing I cannot understand now is why girls stay with their boyfriends who doesn't do anything but to give them heartaches and heartbreaks. I mean is it not enough that they take you for granted? Like seriously? Why stay if the other person does not even show you that you are important and worthy? WHY? WHYYYY? HAHAHA Like I just want to get a rock and throw it to their head because that is exactly what they are doing to themselves.

I will never ever ever ever allow myself to be treated like that because I have enough self respect to know my worth.

We accept the love we think we deserve. Anything less than we deserve is not worthy. Let go and move on. 

NOTE TO SELF

1.) Take nice photos and post it online.

I've recently reactivated my tumblr and this time, I want to be able to post beautiful photos that I personally took instead of just reblogging a bunch of other tumblr users. 

One thing I regret the most this Laboracay 2014 was that I wasn't able to take a lot of photos. When I checked my phone for photos to post online, all I see are selfies of me and my friends and I don't think it is appropriate to post an album on social media with multiple pictures of yourself taken by yourself. That's just irk worthy. Although I am guilty of posting selfies on my instagram feed. hehe

2.) Look good to feel good.

I am guilty of going to work without trying to look good anymore because I mostly just sit my way through the day on my office table finishing my paper works and I just can not do this to myself anymore. I feel like I'm wasting so much of my potential sitting here but once everything's settled in the office, I will go out and have more productive days! 

That is why I promise to make myself look good everyday so I'll be most inspired to have more productive days. 

3.) Do something more productive.

Read #2 for work related activities and #5 for health activities.

4.) Go on a beach trip before summer ends. 

I'm planning to hit the beach before the summer ends and I plan to go somewhere farther up north and catch the sunrise so that means leaving the city at wee hours of the morning so I can start the day right and go home early to end it right. 

I just want to go to a secluded beach for some peace and relaxation. Do nothing. Think nothing. Clear the mind and take pictures (read #1). 

5.) Be 100% into fitness and health.

 I realized that if you're going to be into fitness, you can not be half hearted in it. It's either you're in or you're out and I decided that I will be 100% into it. Cannot wait to start exercising and clean eating again. I kind of deviated from clean eating ever since I got back from Boracay because of my I-will-give-myself-one-week-window-to-cheat emote and now I blame myself from being fat again. 

6.) Buy a memory card for your cellphone.

I keep complaining on how bad the resolution of pictures taken from my phone is and how bad I want to upgrade my phone to an iPhone then last night, as I was talking to my friend, he said something about adjusting the settings of my phone to make the resolution better then boom! It hit me! I set the resolution to it's lowest setting (2.4megapixels) the last time because it was occupying to much space on my phone and I don't have a memory card so my phone always reaches its low memory alert. Sorry for being a cheapo! I will now invest on a memory card so I can take hi-res phone photos! 

7.) Track expenses -again - and try to spend as little as I can.
It would've been shorter if I name #7 as save money but that is not what I am aiming for. I do save a huge chunk of my salary for my savings. I only get 10% of my salary to spend on whatever I want. I used to spend all of that allowance on whatever I want and just spend as long as it is within budget but now I want to track all my expenses and try to really look for cheap and/or free places to go to. Cheap food to eat and cheap hangouts. Okay I say cheap like it's a bad thing but what I mean is that instead of the usual hangout places we go to that serves 80 to 90 pesos for a bottle of beer, I want to try to go to less expensive places where we can get drinks for a more affordable price! 

With that being said, I meant 7 eleven. Haha. Our friend, Stan is managing a 7 eleven owned by his family that's newly opened in City Time Square, in front of Parkmall, and already, we are claiming that place to be our tambayan where we can get cheap drinks!! 28 pesos for a bottle of San Mig Apple. Gosh. I don't think I can ever go back to paying for 90pesos beer (Politics)!!

I've tried tracking my expenses last April because my friend Ina introduced me to this app called SPENDING and I thought it was the best app ever invented for people who wants to see how they are spending. April is such a bad month to start keeping track because I spent a LOT that month. Like A LOOOOT that even I was shocked that I was capable of spending that amount on nothing. No major purchases. Just mindless spending. Don't get me started this May because I did not even bother to keep track anymore. I'll just start tracking by June. :p HEHE 

PMS is a fakeng betch

I can't remember the last time I felt like this. My hormones are acting up SO badly that it cannot be compared to any other bad days I've ever had. 

Divergent and Mondays

1.) I loved the movie and I'm glad that I haven't read the book because then I might be just like my friend, Faith, who read the book and got disappointed with the movie. The book will always just be better than the movie and so I learned my lesson to not read the book first and I'm glad I didn't. In that case, there are no expectations so there will be no disappointments. Don't we all know that disappointments come from expectations. (CHAR)

I really loved the movie and I have kind of high standards (char again) when it comes to liking movies. I don't just like all movies. I find a lot of movies boring and disappointing but this one is good. I rate it 9 stars out of 10. 9 because I didn't have someone to cuddle with during the movie (3rd char). HA HA HA. Honestly, I don't mind watching movies alone but I'm glad I went with my friends this time. I now get why my nephew Andre can't stop obsessing about the movie!!!!!! He wants to watch it again and I think I want to watch it again too. Just like Catching Fire. I was so impressed with the movie I had to watch it twice in the cinema. Heehee. Fangirl here.

2.) Today is Monday and I'm so happy because there are a lot of things to be happy about. :D I can't believe how great law of attraction works for me every.single.time. I was just thinking about how much I wanted to get something that I thought was not going to happen anytime soon but just as I started thinking about it and how much I wanted/needed it, it sure came! I didn't have to look for it. It came knocking at my door. So that's one! I mean the wonder of law of attraction not what I attracted. LOL. It's pretty shallow so no need to talk about it so much!

3.) My legs are so sore which is good because that only means that I had a good workout yesterday. I'm happy because I'm finally doing something about my forever rant and this time, I think I will succeed. :D

4.) I had a weird craving this morning. I'm craving for cold cold beer. I've been wanting to drink since last Saturday night but then I got lazy so nothing happened. Also, I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake since I'm trying to lose weight. Last night, we all had one bottle of beer each to "celebrate" the start of our first day of "training" together. It was a lot of fun though now that I think of it. hehe I have delayed reaction. Took me almost 24 hours to realize how much fun I had. Anywaaaaay, was craving for beer this morning. Really craving. LIKE I-WANT-TO-DRINK-BEER-SO-BAD kind of craving. I think it's my PMS but it's just so weird that I crave for beer like my liver just couldn't wait for it's reunion with alcohol.

5.) My dinner is served but I'm still full and is procrastinating not to eat it yet but I need to hurry cos I need to leave home in 15mins. I wonder how I'll be able to fit eat, shower, get ready all in 15 mins. Maybe it'll help if I stop blogging. So yeah, I guess this is bye!!

6.) PS. I'm still addicted to Find You by Zedd because it's one of Divergent's soundtrack and just because!!

In a hurry,

Annie

Makes so much sense

Unusual Craving and a Possible Addiction

I find myself craving for coffee everyday for a week now. It all started midweek last week when I slept late and woke up feeling very tiresome. I had to grab a grande white choco mocha from Starbucks to save myself from that state of calamity and saved I was. I was so happy with my instant recharge that I found myself craving for another cup the next day. The craving was so strong I had to get out of my way to get myself another cup but I got one in venti this time. I was so scared to get addicted to Starbucks' white choco mocha because I obviously wouldn't want to buy myself a cup everyday. I'd like to think I can't afford it. To spend for an overpriced cup of coffee is okay once in a while because let's admit it, they really taste better than the instant coffee available in the market but everyday is just too much.

What's up with this rant anyway? I find it weird that I always grab for a cup of instant coffee around snack time in the morning near lunch. Maybe it's my way to curb my appetite for lunch but hey it works! I'm just bothered by the amount of empty calories that I take in before lunch time but it really works for me. I can only finish half of my lunch when I used to be still really hungry after I finish my lunch. I just have to my a decent instant decaf coffee and low fat milk to cut off on the calories from the packets of instant coffee with gazillion sugars. I just really hate it when I drink empty calories I didn't even really enjoy.

So am I getting addicted to coffee or am I just looking for a sweet substitute? Maybe the latter but I don't really mind. What a useless rant. KBYE

The one that got away among other things

For years, I thought that my the one got away was this guy I dated briefly when I was in college. In my mind, we were perfect for each other because he was everything I ever wanted for a boyfriend but the timing was wrong so it did not happen. He didn't exactly tell me he liked me. I didn't exactly tell him I liked him ether. I wish I can say that we both knew how we felt for each other but we never did. I am not the one to assume or jump to conclusion that a guy likes me just by frequently talking to me or asking me out. I'm a little insensitive and unless you tell me upfront that you like me, I will never know because I will never assume. So I never found out. Despite numerous invites out with friends and probably some dates, I never found out if he liked me back as much as I liked him. I never told him but if he was just sensitive enough, he probably knew. We stopped going out for inevitable reasons that i myself wish had control of but my emotions were always too scattered and all over the place that it was also hard for me to understand what I wanted so we stopped going out. No dramas. No anything. We just stopped going out like nothing happened. No heartbreak, no trying to move on. No real emotions were invested but I know that if only I (or anyone) was fragile enough to entertain those feelings, it would have hurt like being hit in the head with a hammer. I'm glad I didn't. I know that if I ever let that happen, it would have hurt me a lot because i liked him a lot.

Yesterday, I realized that that guy was not after all my TOTGA (the one that got away). The feelings were probably too one sided. I know I liked him but I didn't know how he felt for me. There were hints that might probably lead me to thinking that he liked me too but that would probably be assuming too much. It was unfair to him for me to assume something like that.

There's this close friend of mine whom I was so close to that it never occurred to me how compatible we were until yesterday.We were so compatible that it was probably hard for you to think that we weren't an item if you saw us together. Now I understand why our then boy/girlfriends would be so jealous of us and it was because the chemistry was undeniable and it will probably be too tiring to explain why we clicked but we just did. Writing this now kinda hurts my heart a teeny weeny bit. Like someone pinched my heart but not enough to give that much attention but the feeling is just there. I cant even think straight now that I think about it. You know how when you want to write about something and it was perfectly written in your mind how you want to type out the words to explain your feelings but when it's time to type it out the brain just go blank.

Maybe I'll write about this again when my mind feels less pressured. Maybe not. Probably not than yes but whatever. We were perfect for each other but we both got away from each other. This time we both knew what we meant to each other and maybe we were afraid to ruin what we had so we just let each other go because we chose the friendship over the idea of love.

Three years later, I realized that we would have been a perfect good match. The compatibility, you can not hide. It was just there. From what we liked, what we believed in, how we saw things, how we did things, where we went, how we felt, what we believed a perfect relationship was like etc etc. I know what he wanted and I can't say that I was perfect but I would've been.

He said not then but maybe next time. But maybe next time is not even an option anymore. The thought is not even worth entertaining anymore and that's that's where I realized why some relationships just don't work. Because people grow and they just don't fit anymore. Like an old favorite pants that you can't stop wearing until it won't fit anymore. Whatever you do, they just don't fit anymore.

People grow. People outgrow each other. People change because change is inevitable. What we liked before may not be what we like now. What was perfect for us then may not be perfect for us now. As people grow, we change and the only people who stays in our life are those people who loves us unconditionally, change or no change. Those who are willing to accept us despite everything. And this, my friend, is also why relationships break because we have expectations from who we want to be with and we find this person fall into mutual admiration with them and fall in love until one person changes and the other gets frustrated and they fall out of love with each other because they no longer fit the perceived expectation from the other person. (TO BE CONTINUED)

Not all relationships are meant to last forever. Lucky for those who found the one from their first relationship but if you are one of those people like me who got no luck, don't worry, you are not alone. We all feel you.

I'm single and I can't be any happier about it. I kind of cringe a little bit whenever I see people in a relationship especially those in long term relationships. I'm sorry to sound bitter or sound like a bitch but it's just that my idea of a perfect relationship just didn't match with my past relationships. The past 2 relationships I've been to was no different from each other. It's bad to badmouth an ex but I'm not writing to bad mouth them. I'm just writing to express and take off the load off myself. Probably move on from and learn from past relationships. One day, I will look back, read all these and hopefully learn from this.

Last Week: First week of September

I made a pledge to myself to LIVE. I refuse to just exist. So starting thi sSeptember, I will make sure to make my life more interesting than how I have lived my life for the past 23 years. I want to try new things and gain a lot of experiences. I want to live a "YOLO" (You Only Live Once) life. Not that I'll be wasting my time getting drunk on alcohol and being wasted not remembering how last night went but I will grab at any chance to LIVE.

This relates to all aspect of my life be it personal, work, social, physical, emotional, psychological, etc etc. My point is that I want to live and try everything before the time comes that I won't be able to do these things anymore. What age more appropriate to do these stuff than now.

I will list down the things I did weekly here in my blog so that one day I can look back and remember what i did in the past and if I was content with the things I did or what else I wanted to do to stop living a routinary lifestyle.

Last week

Sunday (August 25) - Had lunch a Cafe Sarree with the family and impromptu photoshoot. We took a lot of photos that were so nice it made my heart so happy! Had champorado for snack!

Monday (August 26) Bruncher (Breakfast, lunch and dinner) with the family at Tinderbox. Ordered so much that we were surprised with the bill. Went to look at the lot for the future house! The view was breath taking we were all so excited to move to the new "place". We are a little bit too excited because the lot is not even for sale yet.

Tuesday (August 27) - Went out with my client from Manila. Ate dinner at Phat Pho then drinks at Barcode. Saw my friend whom I haven't seen for a year.

Wednesday (August 28) - Went out with the same client for drinks because he had dinner. Had facial appointment and while killing time I decided to have my hair cut. Drinks at Politics.

Thursday (August 29) - Met up again with my client. It's his last night tonight! Had dinner at a cafe. Ordered my ever favorite Buttermilk Fried Chicken with biscuits and gravy. I swear to the constellations that this is my ultimate favorite food as of the moment. We were also with my client's steel supplier. Drinks at Distillery after. By this day, I was already super tired from all the going out at night that I was really tired and sleepy already at 12mn and after 2 amaretto sours. I love amaretto sour! Distillery have pretty nice amaretto sours.

Friday (August 30) - Stayed home to get my much awaited rest night. Slept early!

Saturday (August 31) - Dinner at Mr India with Emmie, Stan, Vanna and JV plus Jon this time. Went to La Vie Parisienne only to find that the place was full so Emmie just bought pastries and we went to IT park to look for a place. All the other places were full and we ended up in Irie. Had one drink before I met up with Val. Val and I went to Dozo to get my new favorite drink, the GPS! We wouldve went to Cable car but the place was packed. Went home at 1am because we wanted to just chill and we're not up for staying out too late.

Sunday (September 1) - Slept in til 12nn reading Why Men Love Bitches in between waking up, reading, falling asleep then waking up and reading again then falling asleep again. Had lunch at Luy's Classic Tea house. Went to S&R after then watched Conjuring at home with the family. Conjuring is too mainstream. I don't get what the hype was all about. It wasn't even scary at all. Had massage with the best masseur, Cleo! What a great night ender!

Monday (September 2) - Today should be the first day of my fitness week but I ended up talking to my best friend on the phone for 2 hours. I miss her so much. Planned to go out for drinks only to end up eating dinner at Phat Pho then grabbed a drink at Dozo then frozen brazo at La Marea after. So much for dieting.

Tuesday (September 3) - Spent the night at my room watching The Devil Wears Prada, (still) reading Why Men Love Bitches and watching Friends with Benefits.

Wednesday (September 4) - Went to Ayala after work to eat Champorado at Tablea! They have the yummiest champorado ever. I'm not even exaggerating. Pigged out the whole day and so I promised Sarah that I will diet the next day and I put our friendship at stake by telling her our friendship will be over if I pig out today. Which is effective because every time I think of food, I remember her and how our friendship means to me. BWAHAHA.

I wish to fill these updates with more workout updates which as of the moment have none. I hope I will be so obsessed with fitness that it'll be all I ever talk about.

Short hair relief

Disclaimer: This is a very narcissistic post. Very self serving and self centered. You can choose not read it to save yourself from the annoyance you're about to get but if you love me then okay, read on. mwah mwah! :*

Over due haircut. I've been thinking of doing something about my hair for the longest time and I only had the chance to finally cut it last Wednesday when I was in SM waiting to meet up with client after dinner. I went to the mall after work to have my facial and I couldn't wear make up that night so I didn't feel pretty. My face was bare, hair was messy, roots were showing up, face was too big, so on and so forth. I can tell you what more ugly things I can say about myself and the list goes on forever. My hair was really messy because I tied it up in a bun and couldn't wear it down. Going out with no makeup and my hair in a bun made me feel uncomfortable and unprofessional like I didn't put enough effort to look presentable so I decided to have my hair cut! It wasn't as impulsive though because I have been thinking about this haircut and plan to have my hair permed for almost a month now. In fact, I already scheduled my hair cut at a salon but I missed it because I got stuck in traffic. :/ Back to the messy hair predicament, I had no idea what hair cut I was aiming for. I just know that I was tired of my very long straight hair that I have been sporting for the past 3 years and it came to a point where I didn't know what to do to my hair anymore. I knew I had to cut it short. I wanted to see the difference in length.

When I entered, the hairstylist welcomed me and asked me what I want so I said I want to cut my hair short and I want my hair to be like hers. Her hair was ZOMG so nicely done!! The color was so nice I could have asked her to dye my hair that color if it wasn't already late. I asked the hairstylist about perming my hair and to my disappointment, they said that my hair is too light to be permed. It'll be too light to hold the curls and will easily lose the hold of my curls. So I just asked about touching up my roots and she said that my roots are too little to be touched up. I kinda felt relieved because I have been obsessing about my roots every time I look at the mirror. The only reason why I didn't want to colour my hair was because of the awkward stages of having to deal with the evil roots and I'm exactly at that stage now! It's my first time to have my hair coloured by the way so I'm basically a noob!

Long story short, I decided that I want my hair shoulder length and full bangs because my bangs was being awkward where it doesn't know if it's gonna be side or full. After haircut, I just had to contour my cheeks because it looks better in photos. hihi. I wasn't happy with what I was wearing so I also bought a top! And VOILA! I felt so fresh and almost felt like a different person. I felt so happy like it was the best decision I did that day. blahblahblahblahblah I felt more confident and self worth increased by 80%! So girls, if you feel down and ugly and/or depressed, I now understand why people find it necessary to cut their hair after a breakup. It's an instant pick me upper and I have never felt more confident in my life than I do now and I feel like I want to do a lot more to improve physically! This is such a shallow post! lol. Please forgive me!

Thanks guys for reading this very blabby post.

Face of the day:

bare face with no foundation or anything
cream eyeliner
mascara
cheeks contour
lip cream in NYX Addis Ababa (my ultimate favorite!)

Exactly how Im feeling now.

When I first listened to the song, I felt like I couldn't relate to the song. I wanted to experience the road to THERE. I wanted to experience all the hard work and the experience and gain wisdom but now I just feel like this song is the perfect song to explain how I'm feeling. I'm just so tired and so out of sync. I feel like I just want to have fun and enjoy youth and life. I feel a sense of panic that I feel this way though. Need to get back on track.

xx,

Annie

NASHVILLE

As I said on my recent post, I'll try to start getting to watching TV series and so I downloaded Devious Maids, Nashville, and with the recent death of Cory Monteith, I find myself wanting to watch Glee again because I saw a lot of new characters that I do not know and there's a hot guy I'm crushing on!! Jacob Artist! <3.<3

But the downloads are taking forever because I try to download one episode at a time and stop and play the downloads whenever I need to use the internet. The download greatly affects the speed of my internet. It becomes unsurfable (like there is such word but you get me). So the download is taking forever plus I'm only watching during lunch breaks and after work but I'm currently hooked to Nashville and Devious Maids.

Devious maids is still on its fourth episode of season 1 and I can't wait to finish the whole season. It's so intriguing. It's actually my first time to watch that kind of tv series because I mostly only watch the chick flick type.

NASHVILLE is asdfghjklqwertyfaufgsdjbvsibwu!!!!!@#$%^&*!!! OMG so cute. I downloaded the soundtrack of the whole season 1 and listening to it while typing this. I'm inlove with the storyline, the characters, the songs and everything about it. I can't get enough of it. I'm on the 6th episode now. Still downloading the rest of season 1.

If you are reading this and is not watching Nashville, you should definitely watch it. It's a musical type of tv series like Glee but the story line is of course, different. 

If you are watching it, let me know your thoughts about this! :*

The Secret is to believe that I will have all of these bags before I reach my 25th year mark in this world and so I believe. <3

I kind of regret buying my colorful Coach bags when I should have just got myself classics. What was I thinking? /wrist!! oh well, the more bags, the better. A girl can never have too much bag can she?

GADGETS

I just feel the itch to write something down without anything particular in my mind. I guess sometimes I am just being random.

Random updates:

My Blackberry broke down for the second time since I got it. 

I'm using a Blackberry Torch 9800 and it's a touch and slide phone and one of the down fall of slide phones are the durability of it's flex cable. Mine got broken last year December and it's broken again now. I tried to look for a repair shop here in SM Cebu to have it fixed but they don't have spare parts for it so I will just send my phone to my friend, GH queen, Zel. I will have it sent to her via air freight so she can fix it and send it back to me again.

RANDOM RANT: I feel so incomplete without my Blackberry. I love BBM and I chat with my girlfriends all the time so now I feel extremely weird without it. I have a temporary phone and I like it and all but sometimes I get so frustrated when I text with a keypad instead of a qwerty pad that I just want to throw it away. Been using qwerty phones for almost 5 years I think so it frustrates me when I have to press the freaking keypads but I love to use it when I am driving. It's easier to use for texting than a qwerty phone.


Here's my new phone by the way.

SAMSUNG GT-E1200T

White

I love it's new look. We have a lot of this phone because it's what we use as our company phone since the battery life is so amazing. It can last for 3 to 4 days before the battery goes empty. Perfect for the drivers who go out of town.Plus, it's so cheap. It's only PHP 899 so I also got one for me when I went to SM yesterday. It's actually the company's extra cellphone and I'm just borrowing it until my Blackberry gets fixed.

Hi Zel, please help me get it fixed ASAP.

Speaking of gadgets. I randomly bought an iTouch 4 two weeks ago. I just thought I want to call my friends and my family back home using Face Time so I went in and bought one just like that. I'm not fond of buying new gadgets but for this time, I did not bother to give it much thought because I will just end up not buying it. I only bought an 8gb since I only plan to use it for Face Time. It's with me for two weeks now and it still doesn't have any songs or games in it but I do have some of the most basic apps I use frequently like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the like.

I know that this is not a good time to buy an iTouch because the new iTouch 5 is releasing soon (if it's not released yet) but I just couldn't wait. I'll just sell my old new iTouch if I ever decide to get the new iTouch or an iPhone 5.

iTouch 5th gen

the colors are so cute.

Doesn't it looks sooooooo nice? It looks so sleek and chic. I love the green color! If you are here for the technical stuff, just forget it because I do not have any idea on the specs. I'm just after how it looks. Yes, I'm one of those people who buy gadgets just because it looks nice. I'm the most un-techy person ever.

Since I got my iTouch, I have been trying to convince my girlfriend soulmate close friend, Sarah to buy one so we can video chat through Face Time and I'm super glad she bought an iPad yesterday. So now that we cannot "BBM", we "iMessage" and "Face Time" each other. I type BBM, iMessgae and Face Time like they are verbs but you get what I mean. ;)

Sarah and I "Face Time-ing"

I am still currently addicted to Face Time. So if ever you have Face Time and is bored (and is a friend of mine), call me! YAY! 

Going back to Blackberry, I'm actually quite discouraged with Blackberry and is thinking of switching to iPhone 5 but I cannot imagine my life without it. I love my Blackberry and I think all the other BB users understand me, or not. It's just that my social life is surrounded around it. 

THINGS I WILL MISS:

1.) Chatting with my friends Tiff and Zel about the most random things happening to us. 

2.) Sending voice notes to Sarah, Jolo and Zel. 

3.) Receiving emails through my phone faster than I check my email in my PC.

4.) Updating pictures in BBM whenever I feel like camwhoring. (This seldom happens though.)

5.) All my personal and work contacts are in my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Please forgive me but I will post some vain pictures of yours truly I took using the front camera of my new toy (iTouch).

FRINGED! 

Had my hair cut almost 2 weeks ago. Haven't had my hair cut for almost a year before this one. Decided at the last minute that I want a fringe so I asked the stylist to give me one. It's in an awkward stage now where it doesn't look good I don't know what to do with it when I'm sweaty. (hihi) It's supposed to be full bangs but I just put it sideways since I kind of feel awkward when it covers my forehead and cover my eyes.

A bit too made up for work. :p

I just wear a head band to put up my awkward fringe. :p Been taking time to apply make up at work because oddly, I feel that I work better if I feel like I look better. It enhances my work performance. WEIRD. There must be some psychological explanation to this.

Enough randomness. 

Bye.

Things I buy a lot of but don't really use

There are things we like to always but but do not really use. I have a lot of these. The things I always use, I don't buy much of but I buy plenty of those I think I will use but don't really do.

To give a few examples are:

1.) Make up
Yes, I don't use much make up and even if I do, I still think I have more than enough makeup to use for myself but I can never really stop buying.

2.) Accessories
I can't help myself eyeing those cutesy little stud earrings whenever I drop by Accessorize to see what's new in their stores. They just have the cutest accessories ever. That's heaven for me. I always want to buy those little stud earrings in set in stores like Accessorize, Forever 21, H&M and etc. I look at them and can't help myself from buying thinking how cute it is and how good it will look on me so I go ahead and buy a set or two. In reality, I don't really wear earrings on a daily basis. I only wear it whenever I remember and that's very seldom.

3.) Books
This post was mainly inspired by my desire to buy more books. I'm in love with buying books. Yes, you read that right, BUYING. Just buying. Hihi. I buy books thinking I'll read them but then it piles up and I never get to read a lot of them since I am extremely busy and always have something else better to do. Well, except if I'm totally glued to the book then I make all the time for my books. I have tons of unread books back at home and I even brought most of them here in Cebu thinking I'll read them but then I buy more and it accumulates. Now, I have a book shelf of books I haven't read yet. :s

(Picture to follow.)

I'm in love with the idea of reading books, I just wish I can really find time for it.

Two days before the weekend and I'm off to paradise!

See you soon.

Keep Calm and Drink Coffee

Grabbed from Jaclyn Young of Housewifed!

Truly applies to me. I'm always so restless and always sleepy at work without coffee. I really want a cup right now but I just finished eating breakfast and drinking a large cup of hot chocolate. I thought drinking hot chocolate is as good as a replacement for a hot cup of coffee since it's the same concept, a delish drink in a hot cup of mug. I thought it'll be just like placebo effect but nothing beats the aroma from a steaming hot cup of coffee. Nothing like it. Can't wait to drink it later!! MUST SAVE MYSELF FROM SLEEPINESS!


Oh! Jaclyn is a friend I met from Char. I just met her yesterday but I feel like I have known her a long time already that's why I consider her a friend already :)

Check out her blog! I enjoy reading it a lot!

How many times?

How many times have I told myself to stick with my diet?
How many times have I told myself to follow a workout routine?
How many times have I told myself that this is really it is?
How many times have I told myself that I'll be successful this time?

:(

Super ashamed of my failure.

MUST. START. HEALTHY. LIVING. NOW!

Why can't I be a fitness freak?? Why? :(( It's definitely one of my frustrations in life. I just can't find the time to start working out as a routine because I'm just so tired ALL the time and if I ever have free time, I just find time to catch up on sleep or do something relaxing like get a massage or blog and I'm not just making excuses, or am I?

One day I'll make time for you so better wait for me. We'll work out sometime. Just not this time yet.

Happy Independence Day

Cutesy Google banner surprised me when I opened the browser. Don't you feel the Independence Day vibe with this? I do! HAHA! CUTE! I just don't feel like we have to "feel" the vibe of Independence day because who celebrates it anyway?

That's just about it, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all you "independent" girls and boys out there! Especially to my BFF, Mallow who's so independent at 22. WALEY haha
