Revenge of The Sith.. and Minnie Mouse

Last Friday, I went out and had dinner with one of my closest friends, Ched. It was rather spontaneous. It was around 6.30 in the evening when she called to ask me where I am. Obviously, I told her that I was home and that I haven't even had a bath yet. My major plan for that day was to do nothing, and let me tell you, she ruined it. I couldn't say no to a free dinner so yes, I gave in and told her that we can meet up in Greenbelt.

As a girl, I would normally take an hour and thirty minutes to get ready. But I was surprised that by 7:18PM, I was already out of the house. Usually, my impromptu outfits suck, this one was a completely different story. When I hopped on the shower, I kept in mind that I have to wear my new booties. That was it! This is what I came up with.



Minus the Minnie Mouse ears, of course. Let's remember that it isn't Halloween anymore.

That lovely shirt over there is actually for sale in my online shop (Vintage Asylum, that has yet to launch a collection) but a button was missing, so I just decided that I'll have it for myself. That would have to be the highlight of my outfit (in my opinion). A lot of people tend to notice the bag - it's from my grandma in Germany. So, the boots. You know me, I can just live in my sneakers but these shoes make me want to buy more of it's kind! It's my first time to own a pair of wedges. Crazy, right? They'll be serving as my school shoes during days that wouldn't involve too much walking.




I kept my accessories down to a minimum seeing that the shirt itself is already a scene-stealer. The gold ring with the ruby heart is my mom's engagement ring, she also owns the Swiss Army watch and the ivory bracelets that I wear with everything, while the Darth Vader ring is from a bazaar in school and I love it!

So I met up with her in Greenbelt and we had dinner at My Thai. We were going to eat in Recipes but there were so many people. We even thought of eating at Krazy Garlik and Chili's but to no avail. My Thai was pretty empty. That doesn't mean they don't serve good food. You should totally try them out!

Her cousin who is also my other good friend dropped by and we had quite the chit chat. It was a fun night. :)

PS.
I really prefer having dinner with friends and coffee afterwards, rather than being guest listed in some club. Just saying.


PPS.
I have this look posted on Lookbook. How lame could I get? Haha!

I'm Really Going to Miss You

I was never one for cheesy blog posts about people but sometimes I just end up being one of those kids who write about how much they feel towards a certain someone. This is one of those times wherein I just couldn't help myself.

In 2008, I met a boy who was incredibly cute with long wavy hair and skater boy looks. My type I know, but it wasn't like that. He became one of my closest friends and I never thought that this day would come. He's leaving.. for good. His name is Toby and he's amazing! He's probably the only person who has his own album in my own Multiply account, the only person that I almost shared my soul to, the only person who said that I had an amazing taste in music. Toby is like my brother. I made him a Facebook account, a Twitter (which he soon deleted HAHAHA), heck even a Lookbook account (still standing, and his other friends make fun of him because of that). I never thought I'd ever have a friend like him. He's always the funniest in the bunch and there will never be a dull moment when he's around. So Tobs, this one is for you.




Thank you for being one of the people I can truly trust. Your philosophies in life and things will forever be etched in my mind since you always make a point. I'll miss the times when you'd ask me to put songs in your iPod (even if I never had the chance to), and times whenever we'd talk about bands and how much we like them, also when I'd call you out of the blue when I'm alone in Shang and you'd come to my rescue (sometimes). I know we aren't as close as we were before but you're still one of the best things that happened to my life.



Tobs with Penny. The puppy I gave him. He's the only person I gave a dog to!


With his little brothers, Lito and Rico (they're twins and they're super adorable)! :)

This isn't goodbye, just a see you later. I still remember how you got so excited when I told you that I'll surely come to visit no matter how long it takes! And yes, I promise that I will visit. Thanks for the memories, Toby. I hate how sugarcoated these words are but I don't know how else to express myself. I hate myself for not coming to see you before you left but we must live with no regrets. The next time we see each other will be epic, for sure. I love you, from the bottom of my heart!



Tobs and I! Please ignore the fact that I just look like absolute crap in this photo next to him. HAHAHA!

PS.
I'm not sure if you'll ever get to see this, but it doesn't matter.

Pre-Christmas Haul

I finally had the chance to remove a couple of things from my wishlist. I've been itching to do so since I came up with it and now I can already say "I just did!". Here are some of the things that I bought / has been given to me this month.




David Bowie shirt from Zara. Given to me by my mom's best friend, Tita D. She's so sweet!


Remember my birthday wishlist this year? This item is one of those. I'm really glad I can finally remove it from the list. Been looking for 'em forever!


I know that my Christmas Wishlist 2011 says that I wanted an iPhone 4(s). I do, honest! But I recently bought a Blackberry sine I obviously cannot afford an iPhone 4(s). But it's all good! I love my Blackberry! It's only a Curve 8520 but it isn't that bad. As long as I can Tweet and use Blackberry messenger then I'll be all right. What's so nice about it is that I can finally talk to my friends overseas who own a BB as well!



One of the things I was so excited about when a really good friend of mine came home from France is this wand. Yes, I asked him to get me a wand as pasalubong. Pretty geeky of me but still.. come on people! It's a freaking wand! A legit Harry Potter merchandise wand! I initially wanted Luna Lovegood's wand since she's definitely one of my favorite characters in the series but only a couple of wands were available (Voldemort's, Hermione's and the elder wand), so I chose Hermione's!


YES! I FINALLY HAVE A NEW PAIR OF VANS AND IT'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN WANTING SINCE I CAN'T REMEMBER!!! I was supposed to buy the all black Vans Authentics but they only have it in men's sizes (which I thought was incredibly sexist, by the way) which made me sad. So I thought of buying the Lo Pro Authentics (they're for women) in all black. But when I tried them on, they looked too much like my worn-out Keds Champions. I was already going to pay for them when I stopped the cashier and just opted for this one. I am so happy.


I never got around to owning a pair of wedges and nice lace up boots so I thought, why not hit two birds in one stone by buying this lovely pair of wedge booties?! I've had my eye on these babies since I saw a similar pair in Aldo (they cost four times more than this one did). They were so comfortable that I couldn't not buy them (I will also be using them for school)! Bought them on the same day as the Vans and I felt semi guilty. I've never spent so much money in a day. I swear I'm such a cheapskate but it doesn't happen everyday anyway and it's okay to spoil myself every once in a while.


Now this isn't included in my wishlist. Got them from some perfume store in Cash & Carry so they're a great steal!


I had rings in my wishlist right? I'm replacing those with these. A Darth Vader ring and cross earrings. Need I say more?

So that's it for my November haul. I know, I have a really bad case of impulse buying. Please remind me not to get anything unless I super need it!

Six Months Late

Sometimes I wish that I was a consistent blogger but I'm just too much of a lazy person to do so. I find it hard to be productive. However, today is an exception. I finally decided to write and it's about what happened six months ago. I only got a hold of some photos today so don't look at me like that.

Last summer, I hung out with one of my favorite people, Annie. She's my URock partner (most of the time) back when NU107 was still standing. We had a Cinabbon date just like Lily and Robin from How I Met Your Mother except we didn't share a Cinnabon. She was so sweet, she paid for mine! Yep, like a real date. We hung out in Robinsons Galleria to relish our memories of the late NU107 and then to Shangri-La Mall 'cause she's never been there. I took the liberty to take her Shang virginity. Anyway, here are some pictures courtesy of Annie.




Awkward Anne and Annie are awkward.


This is Annie and I took this picture.


Her favorite photo from the set. My rings (The cigarette totally ruined the photo if you ask me) plus some of myself (legs, shoes, bag).


And then there's this. Taken with Annie's Vivitar film camera. It's pretty wicked if you ask me. This is my current photo on Facebook. Been trying to upload it on Twitter but it wouldn't let me. Ugh. The annoyance. We actually have more photos but too bad they got messed up when she had them developed.

Well that's about it! For now that is. Pray that I decide to blog some more about other random stuff. :)

In Some Way, Shape Or Form

I'm no music critic, we all know that. But since I'm so passionate about it (music) and all, I decided to blog about one of my favorite bands at the moment who recently released their newest album called In Some Way, Shape Or Form; which, if you haven't noticed, is my blog post title. Yes, this entry is about Four Year Strong. Even if I'm more of an A Day to Remember kind of girl, I still like them and it wouldn't hurt to write about the band. Right?

So during the past, couple of days, I've been hearing so much positive feedback on the album and I just wasn't one to be left out (although on most times, I always find myself being in that situation) so what I did, was that I hurriedly grabbed a copy of the album.






Track List:

1. The Infected
2. The Security of The Familiar, The Tranquility of Repetition
3. Stuck in the Middle
4. Just Drive
5. Fairweather Fan
6. Sweet Kerosene
7. Falling On You
8. Heaven Wasn't Built to Hold Me
9. Unbreakable
10. Bring On The World
11. Fight The Future
12. Only the Meek Get Pinched. The Bold Survive

To say that I was pleased is an understatement because to be completely honest, I love this album - all the tracks are awesome to the point that all the songs are my favorite! And I would just like to say that you did a good job, Four Year Strong. Now I know what the fuss was all about. ;)

So if you're into the whole rock thing, I suggest that you go to your nearest record store and go get yourself a copy. It's worth every penny.

The Long Wait Is Over

Sort of. I mean, it's nothing big but I'm blogging about it because there isn't really anything to talk about.




Yes, you got it right. I finally managed to get myself a BlackBerry. Nothing too grand really, but almost all of my friends are on it (and BBM). Not to mention it's extremely convenient. It's just a Curve 8520, really basic but I get to tweet everywhere I am now. Yes, I'm a dork.
