For the third time around

The fifteenth was great! Although a lot of pressure was put upon Desi and I because we only had thirty minutes of preparation because we still went to the mall with The Date (David Espina) since he still has to buy pants and shoes. I got myself a pair of lashes from The Face Shop (which I wasn't able to use due to lack of time prep), we got Desi a decent dress. It was great :) Went to Eastwood after, had Weng Weng! Haha. I love Weng Weng now. How it made me tipsy, I don't care. And the four-inch heels are just insane, I tell you. With the stockings especially. I should have shaved my legs.. Then I won't exactly have an awful time with the stilettos. Busog ang mata namin ni Desi. Period.






It was a great prom. :) At least better than the first and second one. But really, it was fun.. Way fun! Can't wait to attend some more. HAHAHAHAHA! I love these kinds of parties. :D

Funny how it started

I'm not this type of person who you can put in front of the camera too much. But somehow, Aki has this power over me to make me do things that I don't usually do. You know, like modeling. We all know that it's not my thing. Hello, behind-the-lens person over here! And I don't think I'm photogenic enough.. Or thin enough.. Or pretty enough to be before the camera unless I am cam-whoring by myself. LOL. In short, I am too insecure of the skinny, tall frames, pretty faces and flawless skin. I am insecure, period. But my mother always told me to be confident, and I can say that I have improved over the years. And voila - not yet the finished product but a little bit better than before. I am just glad you didn't meet me then. ;)

So about the modeling I did for Aki, I sort of modeled his jackets (he designed them). They're for sale by the way.



Click here if you're interested in any of them. It's free size so no worries. The jackets are comfy too. The hoods are great and the design itself is! :D I fell in love with the brocade (last picture) but I'm having another one done. The jacket I modeled was a bit loose. Anyway, do support my best friend (and sex guru, as he'd like to call himself), David "Aki" Gargollo with this! He's a really good designer, stylist and he's also very creative.

So 7th of February was practically spent with the lovers (Aki and Andrei) and Desi who was my girlfriend the following night in Shang. Desi and I had a sleep over, a little photo shoot and an incredibly indulging conversation.





The next day (or night), Desi and I hung out in Shang again. Well what can I say? It's our favorite place to hang out at. And remember when I said that I played the roll of her boyfriend?

Told 'ya I looked like some.. dude. But yeah that was some experience. Never looked this much of a guy in my life. Haha!

February 9 was the day (or the night)!
It was my production's first ever gig. I was fucked up nervous, you had no idea! I was cussing all over which wasn't so like me. The bands were late, some people won't pay the entrance fee which was just a hundred bucks, band line-up was crazy! And I ran up and down the stairs to make sure everything was okay. We had to rent amplifiers because the amps at the bar wasn't that great. The guest band didn't show up and we started late! But it was a great gig, a great experience. A lot of people came and supported and that was amazing. Despite the cursing, the endless stress and I wasn't even able to drink a whole bottle of beer. Pa-shot shot lang ako. But I'm telling you, all the stress is worth it. Although two of the bands who played still hasn't paid the other half of the remittance which was just UGH. But I'm soooooo getting it from them. Anyway, it was great. Got home around 6.30 since the gig ended around 5. Yes, five in the freaking morning. Got picked up by dad around 6 because he fell asleep but what the hell right? I was just glad to have the east kids around. And Yuiko! Haha, it's great having them.. as always.


WHAT ABOUT VALENINTES?
Don't be too cocky, I've got a date too. I'm taking my mother out inc ase you think I'm taking some guy. We'll be watching PS I Love You at Shang, probably have dinner with Desi and maybe Yuiko as well. And I'm sending Bang chocolates just because I don't like to hear her whining about Vday. Besides, I'm everybody's "boyfriend". And I have this strange feeling that I would've made a good one (boyf) if I were a guy.. But I'm not. Good thing, right? Before the movie date I'm having with my mother, I'm not sure if I'm still going to meet up with my friends at W Grill. I might but only for a short while. Like thirty minutes or so because I don't wanna miss Yuiko in Shang. He's only available at 3pm-7pm since he still has work in Alabang.

Valentines is also declared as Pepper's birthday since we don't know exactly when she was born. Last year they cooked pancit for her. But she wasn't able to taste it. Oh well.


PROM NIGHT
Oh yeah! It's on Friday, I've already fitted my whole outfit, figured out what make-up to use, and got my brother, Sam a date because his date isn't available on that day (or night). Who? Desi of course. LOL. She's excited alright! So am I.. And I love my dress.. I just do. My mom didn't let me go to school today because she says I need some rest. But I'm going to school tomorrow. Labo no? :P

Great things happen

The day before my birthday, the same day of my celebration (25th), I received an SMS from my cousin who studies in UST saying that I actually passed the USTET. So imagine me in SHOPWISE (of all the places, right?) buying something to drink for my celebration. And my face was like "O_O" and ":O" or maybe "8O" that could also be "8D". As much as I want to deny how incredibly stupid I looked like while I was reading the message, but I do and that's fact. With no hesitation I sent a GM right away after receiving the message. It was a sort of overwhelming happiness. It's great to finally have a school. Before I was too decided upon entering CSB without knowing or acknowledging our financial capabilities. My parents were so supportive of me taking up Fashion Design & Merchandising in Benilde but later on forcing/convincing me to take up Multimedia Arts instead.. I agreed. Then all of a sudden, I couldn't enroll. Well I don't blame them. CSB is way too out of our league anyway. Too much. Anywayyy, so passing UST is a great way to start my birthday right? Although it's not my birthday yet during that time. Earlier that day I wasn't even feeling it. My day didn't really start right but my walking around Shopwise sort of helped.

My birthday celebration was even better. They were late, yes but it was still a lot of fun. And THEY LOVED THE FOOD! - WITH A PASSION, I tell you! We had a few shots, lots of laughs, all-girl dance party in my room, happy times, sweet moments.. you know those type of things. And to top it all off, I really had a great time.





All of the pictures are uploaded in my Multiply of course ;) It's for contacts only so be sure to add me up as your contact first.

So there. I'm actually 17 now. My parents still haven't given me anything. Except for my mom who bought me a pair of black skinnies that aren't really skinny (or tight) because it's a bit lose on my thigh and leg area. But the small is just too tight (I got the medium). It was on sale, and it's TERRANOVA! I love Terranova. So much for that, I might ask a pair of Nike Dunks from my dad. Christmas and birthday gift, mind you. I don't like asking them for something too much for just one occasion (i.e my birthday alone, just for Christmas). Just because I don't like giving them a hard time.. sometimes. But my dad wants to buy me the dress first (for prom) and the shoes and also the super pulido stockings/tights. Yes, I cannot wait for the Dunks. My shoe rack seems too dull without one. *tear*

Bad things happen

There was this one whole week that I didn't go to class because I was too lazy. So instead, I hit the mall. That's what my parents didn't know. A while ago, my parents found out because I think the school I go to called here. They also called Cassie so it's just such a bummer. What do they know? It's so stupid though. Well anyway, my parents told me that I shouldn't do it again 'cause I did it only around four times. One whole week two weeks ago, my last school-day (Thursday) my parents knew that I was in Glorietta 'cause they were the ones who actually dropped me off and all. And then today because I wasn't in the mood at all. At first school was really great, I didn't wanna miss a class because I was feeling all happy and fulfilled, but after our Christmas vacation I just felt like bumming around with my friends! You know, the hangover you get when you just remain at this state where you don't do anything - yeah that, it's bliss. But since my parents sort of talked me out of cutting classes, I won't anymore. Thinking about the tuition fee they pay for me to be able to learn how to freaking sew. Makes me wish that I should have taken the USTET last year. :( My tuition was already good for a semester, I guess. Tsk tsk, it's just too severe. But at least I got to learn something during my spare time. And yes, I won't slack off anymore. As much as I hate to say this but I miss academics (Yes, math and science too).

Speaking of school, my mom wants to enroll me in LaSalle College International. Just this short course, Fashion Photography. And I really want it too! My dad was telling my mom not to get me into it and keep the money for my DSLR (YAY!) but her point was for me to have a certificate. I'd agree with the both of them. I want the DSLR, and I want the certificate. HERE I COME, PHOTOGRAPHY JOBS!

Her name's Cheska (aka BEBANG). This was last year, June. We went to this Toy Convention / Cosplay in Megamall. I love her outfit! I was just wearing this blue Chinese top, black skinnies and flipflops. How plain right?

And these lovely ladies are Ivana and Mie. I love them a lot. Shot on the same day. :)

It's funny how I can switch from this topic to that even if they're poles apart. Could be a gift?


Who could ever miss this?

RIP HEATH LEDGER
Yeah, too bad right? But was it really suicide or was it drug overdose?
Wait, what's the difference? Psh.

The deal with the "L" word

When somebody tells you that he/she loves you, what would be your initial reaction? Sure we've been saying that a lot towards our friends, family members and relatives, probably a boyfriend or a girlfriend. But I'm sorry, I just don't get it. Maybe it's been too long or maybe I'm just plain clueless about this. Love knows no reason, they say. Does it really have no reason at all?

Ladies tend to expect so much from the guy after he tells her that he loves her. A girl's mind is extremely (if not alike) different from a man's mind. Us, ladies, anticipate the future; what could happen, what couldn't, what you don't want to happen, what might, what you want to happen and so on. Diba totoo naman? Okay, so maybe this doesn't apply to every female out there but most of the time, that's what happens. Kaya mabilis masaktan. It's not easy to do the things you say. Like maybe, I won't get carried away, I'll forget him, I won't text him, etc. But isn't it funny when you're already at it then he suddenly pops out of nowhere and you forget about the things he did to make you do (or attempt to) what you just said a while ago. Tell me if I'm wrong about these, okay? ANGHIRAP MAGING BABAE! Hahahaha. But it's fun. DIBA?!

Let's lighten up the conversation.

HAS ANYBODY SEEN SWEENEY TODD?
Please don't tell me what happened or the story. I know it's a musical but that's just what I want to know at the moment. I'm going to see it for myself. Probably with Cassie and whoever else. Or Dora and Desi maybe.

And this, I am to see with Aki ;)
And maybe my other fashion school classmates too. That'd be fun, don't you think?

Oh, and also this one!
Yeah it's that Million Dollar Baby chick and that 300 dude. Wait, Hilary Swank IS the girl in Million Dollar Baby right? My mom saw that movie. Here at home of course. So anyway, I don't know who I'm seeing this with yet. But the whole 'He broke her heart when he died' thing kind of gave me the creeps (in a good way, for sure). And it seems romantic. And last but not the least, I just have to watch My Best Friend's Girlfriend (syempre bold na sya kasi yan lang yung walang picture eh :P). Seriously?! It seems interesting. And sort of typical. AND it's Richard Gutierrez's movie for crying out loud! I think I've seen most of his movies. Around three-fourths. And I'm not kidding. I am a sucker for Pinoy films and yes, I LOVE One More Chance and I'd definitely love to see it again. May DVD naman na diba? :P

Have you noticed the sudden change of topic? Well, I don't wanna talk about LOVE all through out this post. That will be.. too serious. And I'm not the too serious type of person. And that's it.



I miss him.
