IN THE CLOSET: thanks for kickin it
It’s a nice sunny day out today and my good friend invited me for lunch. We chowed down Filipino food — aaaah, what joy! It was so good…. We also exchanged gifts and I’m glad he loved my gift. I got him a 2-vinyl record of brand nubian samples :) I got a lot of “pasalubongs” as well from him from back home. I’m so happy that he really gave me a bottle of...

with grace, i step aside.
Day off today and I decided to run some errands. First stop was Townhall at Alberni Street to finalize our booking (I’m organizing a surprise farewell party for my friend/co-worker). Second stop was to SFU to attend a meeting (again, organizing another event). My day was supposed to stop there until I decided that I wanted to roam around downtown and buy a scrapbook. While in Chapters, I...

The one that got away Source: The Manila Times By: Mark J. Macapagal In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with…and the...

The ring that I redeemed at Chictopia came in the mail yesterday! :)
It’s quite big but don’t fret… because it found a place in my thumb. LOL.
THANK YOU CHICTOPIA :)

IN THE CLOSET: Le disko
Channeled a disco diva look for today. I decided to wear something fun and screaming to contrast the debbie downer in me. There’s too much drama at work and I can’t take it any longer. I wish other jobs would start replying to me because they never do. BOO.
I picked up my friend, anastasia, at the airport then dragged her outside for dinner with our other friends at kamei royale in...

day 1, year 2010
NYE in the north american world is too quiet for me. The three times that I’ve spent the holidays (christmas and new years) here always made me homesick. BADLY. It it just not the same. No misa de gallo (midnight masses), puto bumbong (a filipino delicacy — only during the christmas season), no firecrakcers on the streets, no street parties and massive block countdowns…. *sigh*...

IN THE CLOSET: the eighties rendition of genie
First day back at work and I had to run some errands afterwards.
I met up with my friend mark for some record shopping blast at beatstreet records. They still have their boxing day sale ‘til the 31st so naturally, I got all excited and trotted right away to the store.

…and I’m back to reality. The reality of working 40 hours a week. The reality of being broke. The reality of being twenty and facing more responsibilities.

just a thought...
I will definitely miss some of the things and people that I have to let go. Nevertheless, I’m glad they crossed my life and I hate goodbyes so I will just say “until I see you again”.

Got a new phone. Got a new iPod/Zune/Mp3 player. Watched three or more episodes of Saturday Night Live. Made fun of someone. Created a tumblr. Flew...
IN FOCUS: plum sykes
Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes is a highly recommended book for all those who are in search of a humorous yet witty and fashionable read over the holidays. Published in ‘04, the book showcases a very interesting observation of the daily NYC (particularly the Upper East Side) lifestyle, making Gossip Girl drool. S and B are just the minis of “moi” and Julie, the bergdorf blonde...

This week is my birthday week and I’m celebrating it with a full blast already.

I am very happy to say that I AM FINALLY DONE WITH FALL 2009 TERM! :)
Wrote my last final exam today and I hope i really did well…
Met up with a few friends for some “bonding time” haha.
Had afternoon desserts at caper’s, took some photos by english bay, shopped for a bit, and had late dinner and drinks at wings. I can proudly say that I ate the WINGS OF FIRE without...
IN THE CLOSET: tom-boy
Had a friday madness with my friend (slash classmate) at uni and by friday madness i mean a night of mayhem in school.
Studied the night through…
Slept at 3am, woke up at 5am (for more cramming sessions), had breakfast at the residences at 730, then off to our final exams at 830.
I’m glad, however, that my statpsyc is finally done. WHEW.
I’m just praying that I pass it…...
IN THE CLOSET: blurry visions
Apologies for the blurry photos (I was rushing to snap some on the way to uni)…
Today, I spent a whole 7 hours in the uni library studying for statistics 210 for psychology. (I’m currently rethinking my career as of this moment..HAHA)
Killed 4 lecture notes, 4 audio recorded lectures (podcasts), and 8 chapters in the textbook. — and i’m still not done. I have about 3 more...

Finals week - days left: 4
happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
*sigh* i’ve been wallowing over my lecture notes the past few days.. and the tunes of n’dambi, badu, pharcyde, and aretha franklin have been replaced by my uni lecture notes on the repeat. (podcast, of course) — I’m quite thankful in a way for how my uni keeps up with technology.
On another note,...
