Party In My Tummy

Oh jeez, I swear this song is so disturbing! Have you heard it? Oh goodness, the video - tell me, have you ever seen a TALKING CARROT? Or, TALKING GREEN BEANS! Goodness, Miel (my classmate) is so right. Very disturbing and it will be your last song syndrome.. FOREVER! How scary is that? The beat is cool though, that I have to admit. It's electronica. And I love electronica! How tragic is that? So for all of you who's actually curious about it, here you go! Enjoy.

A new way to make you get sick

Here I am, typing away in my mom's computer. I'm currently waiting for her to get home since it's practically my job to wait for people who aren't home yet. When my dad's still out, or my mom, and even my brother! So this is basically my nature. *shrugs*

Today it seems that I'm the only one who isn't tired one bit. Because I didn't go to school since my mom forgot to give me my daily allowance. My father went to school, so has my brother and my mom has an engagement this evening; and I base this on how she was dressed up. And honestly, I was surprised she actually dressed up rather well and she didn't need my help on it. I love my mom's outfit.

And speaking of outfits! Last Monday, November 12, I was dressed like a boy! The only thing that made me look a bit feminine (read: a bit) were my MASCULINE EARRINGS! Imagine that ha. My lightning bolt earrings actually made me look like a Japanese boy; plus the hair cut and outfit. Picture this, I was wearing my camera shirt (the one from Human), black skinny jeans, black vest and my pink chucks. Come to think of it, it weren't the earrings, it were the shoes for real. Due to this.. happening (for the lack of a better term), I am now forced to dress up in a girlier scheme. Well my choices of clothing for the past weeks and even months were on the girly side although the colors I mix and match are not very feminine (see here). I play around with monotones most of the time. And if not with very similar-looking colors. Or complete opposites. I play with my outfit. But then my outfit really depends on my mood. When I'm wearing a tank top, skinny jeans and skimmers - it means I'm really lazy. Same goes with a big shirt, shorts, leggings and flats. Even with a shirt, jeans and flip flops.. obviously. I can go on and on about this! My out of the ordinary outfits really depend if I feel it. And I just have to plan on what I'm wearing.

Yesterday, due to not being able to contain myself, I bought a new pair of sandals from SO F.A.B! They're so nice! And.. THEY'RE BLUE! My first ever pair of electric blue shoes. It's T-strapped, peep-toe and patented. Another great thing about it is that it's really comfy. And that it's on sale. Tell me about a girl who doesn't love with a capital L, SALES. 50% OFF!!! Oh how it makes me so happy. Another thing that actually excites me is wearing it, and also my ninong going to China and get me boots as pasalubong! You have no idea how much I wanted - and still want - to have boots. I hope he gets the right one. Flat, suede, scrunched boots. Just the way I want it.Something a bit similar to this one. This is quite nice isn't it? Whoever owns this is a luck owner. I wish there were more boots here in the Philippines. But then.. DAMN THE CLIMATE. The cool weather is a great excuse for fashionistas out there to pile on their clothes, wear coats, scarves, BOOTS. My mom always told me to dress accordingly to the weather. But I love hoodies, I wear then even when the sun's up. But it's different now. I now followed her advice. Although sometimes it's just very tempting to do so for the sake of fashion. It's different with Aki though, because as he always says: Fashion before comfort. What can I say?

I was browsing shoes in Rustans (Shangri-La) yesterday with my mom, tita Dee and tita Charu. The look on my face while checking out those amazing BUT expensive shoes. I'm very particular about Aerosoles, T and STEVE MADDEN - come on, his shoes are lovely! I was telling tita Dee that I need heels, she asked why and I said: party shoes. She agreed, it's very mortifying to appear at a party in flats - worse than that: very casual flats. Unless they're really dolled up, if not, forget wearing them on a night-out.


New York really is my dream destination. Other than that it just has to be London. Think of it this way: it's easier to dress up, layer, pile on random stuff on your body. The catch is, no one will care. T-Mobile's Sidekick, we don't have it here in the Philippines. Everybody has a LOADED credit card that's why it's easier to pay and shop through the Internet. And I just have second thoughts about buying here online. Although, I'd have to say it's all up to you, me.. US.

All hail the Internet. I actually get to browse for nice clothes. And get nice ideas for future get-ups. I wonder what should I wear tomorrow. Hmm.

Today is My Day

Tell me of a girl who doesn't love shopping. And I bet you won't be able to answer. Basically, a girl is not a girl if she does not indulge in shopping, or even just desire of being able to. That's just stupid if you, a girl, don't.

Today was indeed a great day for me - I have said earlier (and also my mother), that it is my day. No doubt about it, I must say. My mom bought me a nice shirt - one that I have actually liked (or loved, if possible) since it came out. And also a pair of earrings that I can wear anywhere with anything! It just adds too much funk in my outfit. Out of the ordinary, I dare say.



I've been looking for this item for a long time now and the moment I saw it, I got it right away! But I'm still thinking about the neon-colored necklace (that has a lightning-bolt pendant). Maybe I should buy it tomorrow? But then I'd think about it, still.

If I didn't had an appointment with the dentist then I would have not went out at all. Since my Fridays and Saturdays are exclusively for myself. But I guess I made an exception? But it's been a great day. Not too much of a drag. Although our car's air con just won't work. Other than that, the day has been great. And I also had a hair cut!

BEFORE

AFTER


I asked my new favorite hairstylist to make the top short, and also the back. And long at the bottom. More or so like a mullet. I like my hair short. Next time I'd have to make my hair a lot shorter.

After going to the dentist, we went back to Tiendesitas and met up with my Ninong Hans; one of my mother's good friends during college. We ate at this nice Italian restaurant in SM HyperMart which was right across Tiende. Apparently, andami na nyang utang sakin. And since he has mentioned that he's going to China next Sunday, then he asked me what I would want. My mother suggested him to get me boots because I always blabbed about how much I wanted to have a good pair. And luck must be on my side because he's getting me those! Oh joy! I asked for flat boots, the scrunchy, suede ones. And in black. I would want a royal blue pair but black is a lot easier to match with anything. So yes, I am getting boots soon! Maybe in three weeks or two weeks time? Hah, let's hope for the best. The sooner the better! Kidding.



You must be perfectly aware that I have been reading a great book (Pride and Prejudice). And you probably know that I decline to watch the movie if I haven't finished reading it yet. But yesterday was different. My boredom was winning against my will of just reading the book! But I cannot contain it any longer. So I watched it. Watched it thrice. Once before I went to bed, twice at the peak of loving it. And I still do. I always will.

In This World of Big and Small

Thursday is a different story. Aki wasn't there, and I managed to almost finish the dress that I'm making. Sorry loves, no more Pride and Prejudice talk for now. Well that's what my best friend, Jobel calls it. My moment wherein the vocabulary I use is just incredibly deep for some reason. But since I haven't been reading Pride and Prejudice again due to my business, and since I barely have time here at home because I'm usually in front of this computer, then I'd have to say goodbye to it for a while (a few hours, yes). But since it's a Friday, and my Fridays are meant to be spent at home, being a couch potato and practically watching Detective Conan, and in this case, reading. So today, I would have more time to indulge in my favorite pass time: reading. It is actually the one thing I will never get tired of.

So anyway.. THURSDAY. Went to school, right? Then went to Glorietta with Jobel to wait for Monty because he's going to pick us up there. We waited for a few minutes then he arrived (hooray!). After that we went to Pasig because Monty had to talk to his band's producer and get a copy of their third album (UP AND COMING). You should watch out for it, I heard the songs and they're really good. Mayonnaise's music is no heavier and trust me, it's a good album and it's gonna be worth your money. The album launch (according to Monty) is on December 23. Better be there. After Pasig, we went to Tiendesitas to watch Urbandub because they had a shoot for MTV Sessions and they did it there. They were good; but good is such an understatement. They were SUPERB, GREAT, AMAZING! Agree?

This is the only picture I have with some of the band people. Yes, I am actually in this photo - peeping down there. See me now? This shot was taken by Monty using Jobel's camera. Look, I would've brought mine but my mother took it without asking permission. But what can I do, right? She's my mother. Moving on, that's Poch in the cap. He's Mayonnaise's new bassist, then Nico over there (he's looking at the cam). And lo and behold, Jobel's big face. Priceless isn't it? Next time I get to hang out with them or something, I must make sure to bring my camera.

My father, who also watched Urbandub, became a bigger fan than he already was. He kept texting me and telling me galing nila. Which is non other but true. And who wouldn't agree with such comment, right? "They're tight" - said my father.




Aside from such happening, I woke up at around 11.30 today. And the sleep I had a few hours ago; superb. I don't remember anyone trying to wake me up (which is good). The only thing I can sort of remember was I woke up, probably around 9am and the sun was shining. Then two hours later, it was gloomy outside. I love the rain. And I love gloomy weather. The it's-dark-and-windy-outside-I-think-it's-gonna-rain weather. It's actually my excuse of wearing my scarf. Same thing goes with wearing stockings, hoodies and winter stuff. Bear with me.
