new do

I've never had my hair cut this short. I've been wearing long hair for as long as I can remember. Well, not anymore.

From..

to


and three weeks later to this:

...thanks to my ever reliable stylist (lol), Victor (of David's Salon-WM). I luurve it! Although this means I have to take more time in fixing it every morning which is total bummer. I like having the wash and wear hair since I always wake up late and I have to rush through the morning routine...every single day. I always psych myself to wake up early but it never happens. I guess this should be enough motivation to wake up earlier than usual...otherwise I will go to work looking like i woke up with a terrible hangover and headed to the office without even washing. Yikes! The price you pay for vanity. Hope I give justice to Victor's work. Haha. :-))


And oh yeah, the shades stays!!! lol

I got free ticket! I got free ticket!*

*in Patrick's voice!

I got free ticket for tonight's showing of Transformers! Yey! Getting freebies like this makes me love my job even more!

Although, I've been reading bad reviews in the net. Nevertheless, free ticket is free ticket! Lol!

Have you been wondering where did Mommy's thai canteen go?

So were we. So imagine our excitement when we learned that Mommy's thai canteen (aka UP thai canteen) relocated to Ortigas Home Depot along J. Vargas Ave.



The lower ground where you order the foods looks small, but they have a spacious second floor which are air conditioned. The ambiance is just so different from the one in Balara.


The food is still as delicious as I remember it to be. Especially the tom yum soup. Yum yum yummy!! Kind of nostalgic, reminds me of my freshie days in UP. We ordered tom yum soup, mixed thai (i think, not so sure what it's called), and chicken curry. We were so full yet it only cost us P 280! Will definitely come back here.

Sorry to burst the bubble that you live in

...but there is a legend.

Lets see you top that off!

Tuguescapade

After being in sunny and hot tugue for 3 days, Manila seems so dreary. The weather here is as fickle as a girl’s mind. The 3-day vacay was just what I needed... really great food, comfort of home and old time friends. And I repeat, FRIENDS. Not “...with benefits” just FRIENDS. No more singing of it ain’t over till it’s over.

I know a lot find it hard to understand how beej and I can still be friends. For us though, it wasn’t even a question of whether we should be friends or not. Sure, how we ended wasn’t ideal but we’re talking about 7 years. I could hold on to the anger and pain and make myself miserable or learn to let go and see what’s beyond all that break-up hoopla. There’s more to a relationship than the swooning and thrills of attraction, and I think seven years is definitely more than just kilig, more than exchange of sweet words and romance. If there’s anything left in that, it’s the friendship. Seeing beej again didn’t bring back old feelings (contrary to what we see in movies), it brought out new ones. It’s like that calm after a storm. It’s like knowing that everything is just where it should be. And when you get to understand that, seeing us having coffee and laughing together wouldn’t seem so weird.

alcohol talking

ever had that moment when you wake up with a terrible hangover and vow never to drink again?

but then you're handed a glass of tequila and before you know it you're jumping up and down. Waking up with a terrible headache and barely remembering what happened. Then vowing once more to never drink! haist!

the case of the third party

This is an old blog I've posted on my multiply months ago but still feel strongly about until now. Some would say that cheating has a lot gray areas but for me, it's all in black and white.

I’ve always been intrigued with the third party, may it be in a marriage or just in a boy friend-girlfriend relationship. The third party a.k.a. the other woman a.k.a. kabit, querida, mang-aagaw, malandi.

We’ve always heard the side of the girl who was hoodwinked with men and their cheating hearts. Never the side of the other woman. Apparently, they also got hurt in the process. Ha, what a laugh! (I have this idea that they’re just pure evil. ) They invested their emotions and time to men who they knew (from very the beginning) are attached. So are men to blame? I think in situations like these, it’s not just the men who should get the blame; the other women also get the same amount of blame. They put themselves in the middle of the whole crap. (Oh, I’m not letting men off the hook here. No, oh, no!)

Seriously though, I want to get into the mind of “the other woman”. I want to find out what could have driven her to ruin a relationship. What the heck was she thinking when she decided to get herself tangled in the whole mess. Does she have low self-esteem, and making another girl miserable was an avenue for her to feel good about herself? Is she even aware of the pain she is causing, or the pain that she can inflict on herself? Is it pure selfishness? Is she not a big believer of karma? Or a big believer of the adage, “If he can cheat with you, he will cheat on you?” How could she sleep at night? And lastly, doesn’t she have any friends who would put some iota sense in her head and give her a definition of what’s right and what’s wrong. Yeah, we’ve heard the maxim that in love there’s no right and wrong. But I think that when a wife or a girlfriend is involved, there is a boundary of right and wrong.

I remember that episode in Sex and the City series where Charlotte found out that Carrie is cheating with Big, while he is still married to Natasha. Carrie was reasoning out with Charlotte that she is not that kind of woman (the sl*t who is ruining a marriage).

Charlotte: Do you ever think about how she’d (Natasha) feel if she found out?

Carrie: I think about it all the time.

Charlotte: No, you don’t! You think about what would happen to you, not about her. To you, she’s just the idiot wife. You don’t know anything about her. I’m getting married in two weeks. How would you feel if someone did this to me?

I wish there could be more Charlotte in this world. Then maybe, there would be less cheating. And we wouldn't have to rant about situations like these. Tsk tsk.

Lost

I'm losing two pairs of havs!!! I remember using one of them in zambales two months ago then I didn't give much to it after that. I was supposed to wear the gray one this morning but couldn't find them anywhere. I know it's not the end of the world but it's not as if havs flip flops cost a 100 pesos! Let alone two pairs!!!

Having a flip flop is very convenient because it can go with any outfit. When all footwear fails, I turn to my ever reliable flip flops. Plus the grey one has a sentimental flair to it! The brown one is kind of old, so I don't feel as bad losing it.

Im pleading to the borrowers (lol) to return them. I dont want to tire out my red havs.

Just got to let this out!

Sappy Friday

Just saw a blog entry from a pastor in our church who just proposed to her celebrity girlfriend. I can't help swoon. I'm a sucker for engagement, wedding, and everything else that comes with these two. Maybe it's just the ideal in me. Regardless of all the failed marriages in our family, I choose not to be jaded.

I believe in happy (and sappy) endings. Why?

Because I know God is on my side. I know He is plotting a wonderful love story for me. A story far better than I have dreamed of. Call it cheesy, cornball, quixotic, pensive or whatever!

I call it faith!

Can't wait for this!!

I'm a sucker for highschool series and movies.
