Last Sunday Is Not The Same

Sun up to sun down, i am out of the house. But not to the malls but to a family affair. I need to wake up super early just for that. Sundays for me throughout the first month of 2011 was not sort-of like the first month of 2010, on a Sunday to be exact. I feel like, yes, you know it, it's like 2010 all over again. (Except that 2010 is about surviving a rage while i was getting started to get started on achieving all of my goals in my dear life before my freedom draws to an end as i go back as a student by June of this year.) It's not that much of thinking that last Sunday, i was about to know that i had a hearty lunch, ever. It's my first time to go down south this year because the last time i went down south was March of last year to attend a housewarming in Alabang. The fun part is, i talked to my favorite Auntie about the Maid Cafe that i heard on the news which kinda reminds me of Kaichou Wa Maid Sama that i'm watching as of this moment. Maybe if i attend the Ozine Fest Encore by April 3, we'll head to a maid cafe for lunch as a post-birthday celebration for someone like me since my birthday will not be over until December 20, 5 days before Christmas Day.

4 Sundays of just good luck & twisted happenings, now January draws to an end as we welcome the month of hearts & of course, the year of the Metal Rabbit, i might end up shopping for what i need on a sale at SM North on the first weekend of February 2011. I suddenly thought about buying a new diary since i can't wait to use a new planner. The question is, can 2011 for me is like 2010? Keep your fingers crossed, everyone, hope that will happen. Being a Dragon makes me feel i'm the stylish, popular & intelligent person, ever. But if you messed w/ me, don't make me wait to release fire. Ok, i need to cut my long bangs for now until i end up looking like Vic Zhou, er. Justin Chua. I better try to brush on my Chinese language lessons for now until i get the perfect Odango/Pigtail Bun in my hair. So, is that it? No.

Vic Zhou's Poster or Nico Salva's Jersey: Birthday Gift Debate?

Vic Zhou's poster? That's so like the day Ateneo had it's 3rd loss to La Salle in a pre-season tournament. Nico Salva's jersey? Hey, can you buy also Ryan Buenafe's jersey? Because the thoughts in my head right now pushes me to think about Ryan Buenafe & Nico Salva. Call me the Ateneo Fan-Girl who idolizes the former high school rivals turned college team-mates, you know the pretty long story of how Ryan & Nico bounded in Blue Eagle territory for college after their clashes against each other in high school. Came last weekend, my little sister requested to mom that she wants to have a Nike-Ateneo Team Shirt & Jacket, that was also the same thing i requested for my birthday. But i also request for a Nike-Ateneo Team Jersey, among the choices of Eric Salamat, Kirk Long, Ryan Buenafe, Nico Salva, Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta & Justin Chua, i would rather pick Ryan & Nico. (Yes, if you're one of the Buena-fans & the Buena-friends, you would rather see me receiving a Ryan Buenafe jersey than a Vic Zhou poster. ALL HAIL RYAN BUENAFE!) Now, for those who support the Buenafe-Salva pairing, all hail to the 2 Blue Eagles who were once high school rivals.

If all things fail & i end up w/ a Vic Zhou poster, no worries, rely on Ateneo's bitter rival, no, not Barbie Xu, she's married & don't disturb her. I'm talking about La Salle. The trusted Maui Villanueva & Joshua Webb jerseys from 2008, talk about their debut in the Senior ranks along w/ Ryan & Nico for Ateneo. (Oops, i almost forgot 2008 was the year after Justin Chua confessed on National TV that he will make it to Ateneo in college after his sucessful High School years in Chang Kai Shiek.) In case of receiving a Vic Zhou poster, always rely to an Ateneo or La Salle jersey, circa 2008, 2009 & 2010. The years where Chirs Tiu, Jai Reyes & Eric Salamat witnessed the clash of the bitter rivals not for once. Although my birthday falls in almost a month during the month where graduates are busy & many graduations happen, it's a triple celebration for me like Ateneo aimed for 3 UAAP tittles. More than the simple Vic Zhou poster, more than the jerseys of either rivals, more than a can or bottle of Pepsi that i can drink & more than the strawberry chiffon birthday cake i want to have, it's about a celebration. Gifts? Optional please, but it's ok if you give me something that i didn't even knew i will receive it as a birthday gift.

Too Powerful For The 2nd Time

Please do not pun James Mclurcan or i might act like Justin Chua who is on fire.

It's been almost a few months to be exact after i watched PR Operation Overdrive since my little sister's birthday where the tension begins, as in even during the hype of the semestral break. (It was even the time i was arguing myself for my hair to either get a bed head or curls. Be like Hua Ze Lei or Be like Adam Park, or for the better, Be like Jumbo Escueta!) Well, i decided to watch selected episodes only. (Just needed for my James Mclurclan dose whenever i need to, if there's no sign of the Ateneo Blue Eagles) Hope this time around, Studio 23 will start to re-air the best games of the UAAP Games from Season 70, 71, 72 & 73. The 4 seasons where the Ateneo Blue Eagles entered the road to reclaim their lost glory, even their arch-rivals from Taft Avenue are back after a 1-year hiatus. (Dang you, JC Intal, Chris Tiu did something different yet amazing, but past is past anyway. It's ok.) So, should i rather wait for the last episode of PR Operation Overdrive? Maybe.

That's too powerful after all.

No Annoying Weekend Puns

(What happened to me this weekend from Friday to Sunday)

Friday: SHAN CHAI IS MARRIED????? Before i realized that it was 7-8 years ago back in the year 2003, Barbie Xu was the girl who played Shan Chai in Meteor Garden, i even want to have her cute braided pigtails (& i just found out that if i sleep for a week w/ the braided pigtails on, i might give Hua Ze Lei a run for his money because i will end up from Shan Chai to Adam Park? Oh my La Salle god! From pretty braids to turbo-charged curls, Adidas-La Salle Maui Villanueva 2008 Jersey is optional.) Attention fans of Meteor Garden, Barbie Xu is OFFICIALLY married to a Chinese Billionaire last November. Stop throwing bad puns about her, so from now on, i might change my mind from hating her character turning her into a very bad girl like the ones i watched in the Power Rangers as the hated female villain. Congrats Barbie, hope you have a happy life right now as you enter the new stage in life. After hearing the news, we decide to pick up my little sister in Katipunan Avenue, it's my first time to drop by at that place after one month, first for 2011. That's the time i ate half a banana. What a crazy Friday night then, but i found out for myself that came the weekend, i'm going to be out of my comfort zone.

Saturday: The rain doesn't try to make my day gloomy as my mom, my siblings & i went to Trinoma. I even tried for myself the new donuts of Krispy Kreme based from the new Green Hornet movie, the Green Iced Sting donuts, a perfect pair to a can of ice-cold Pepsi. Kinda sweet because of it's minty but bubble gum like taste, but it's yummy & i crave for that throughout the day. Speaking of Green Hornet, my little sister decided to pull a prank for me that i should take a picture of myself doing a kawaii pose next to a Green Hornet standee at the Trinoma Cinemas, the choice was Taiwanese Superstar Jay Chou. I slightly thought that it will be the silliest thing i would ever do more than the time i punned my little sister as the 'Immersion Queen' from last December. So, i suddenly thought to myself that the next time i hit the malls, maybe i should bring the digital camera along, if only i could find the perfect pair of batteries for that so i can take pictures at the mall. Prepare yourselves for the pic i will try to pull out this month, this is interesting.

Sunday: Yesterday is far from ordinary, it all started by shopping for groceries, just bought my first Pocky for 2011, the last time i brought a Pocky was April of 2010 & i ate that 2 months later by June. Since Friday, my dad, little siblings & i have a fling for snacks of our choice, Pocky is still included in my list of snacks because i have a fling for Pocky. After all of that grocery shopping, my parents & i went shopping for a while, i even had the chance to buy the Jan-Feb 2011 issue of Candy where Aria, played by Lucy Hale for the show, Pretty Little Liars is on the cover, but i also have a 2nd shot on buying Candy, this time a back issue, the May 2010 issue featuring Dianna Agron of Glee. What's more insane is that i'm going to a birthday dinner of my parent's friends followed by picking up my little sister from her senior year activity. We have a light dinner at Lugawan Republic, their Crispy Tofu is great! Maybe i can do that at home because it's easy & of course, delicious. I realized on that day that Puffy have a hectic year on being a graduating college student, so i decided to go w/ the flow instead.

That weekend was the key for me to find out that at the first quarter of this year, it's hectic. 

Past & Present Collision

I told my mom about the important things to do on the first 3 months of this year earlier & i did told her about paying up the debts for our former school. But it's just all about trying to finish the connection between my little brother & my former school, just because my little bro is now in a new school, but for me, it's like a bomb exploded in my heart because the past is back to me, does it mean my days as an Ateneo fan is already hits the end? No, it's like there's a clash between my past as a COLF student & my present as an ADMU fan-girl. Maybe all i need to do then is, if no one is taking care of me in the house due to my 2 little siblings are at school for their academics on their final years in high school & college, i have no choice but to join them. The outfit? Just a pair of flip-flops, jeans or shorts & an Ateneo tee. (Ateneo Baller Bands & Terrycloth Headband, black in color ala Bacon Austria or Maui Villanueva is for the better, for emergency measures, white tee+Maui Villanueva La Salle jersey from 2008 works well.) 

Ok, when my parents are trying to pay the unpaid debts for my little brother, what should i do then? Getting caught by my former classmates as they knew i end up in Blue Eagle Territory? If caught because we went at COLF around lunch time, i'm history. St. Ignacius Of Loyola, please help getting away from this trouble i got on remembering my crazy past as a COLF student. Now, 7 visits at ADMU, is it enough for me just to forget the troubled part of my life as a COLF student for 4 years? I was even thinking about what to do when the encounter happens. Of course, that day will be just about making a graduate's dream to graduate w/o any traces of a troubled past while for me, time to return to the past? Maybe, but about the craziness of student life. Here i go, i will take a deep breath because my life as an Honorary Atenean will be kept as a secret but will be revealed by some curious minds. Ok, here i go...... Help me, St. Ignacius of Loyola.

New Must-Watch: Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama!

After i found out that Kaichou Wa Maid Sama, or Maid Sama for short will be on as one of the newest Anime shows to watch out for 2011, i was even thinking about watching it, but i got no choice, i watched it yesterday & it was really fun! It's about the fun life of Japanese High School kids where aside from doing some school work, they also work part-time! Since i got instantly hooked in that series, i can't wait to watch that Anime show as my 4pm Monday-Friday habit on watching TV. So in other words, i'll just give the computer a break, head to the bedroom, grab the remote & turn on the TV & watch this fun Anime series as i watch it while sitting in bed when the afternoon sun is still on before sunset. So this morning, i just downloaded the opening theme of the mentioned Anime & it took me a bunch of times to download it until i get the complete version of the  opening theme! (& finally, i got after i downloaded it for more than 2 times just to get the complete version that ends around 4 minutes) That's how i download Anime themes since last month after i receive my MP4 Player from dad.

Ok, about my verdict about this new Anime series? It's a must-watch if you want to discover the life of Japanese High School kids who balances their lives between school work & part-time jobs, just to make sure they have a bright future ahead. & since there's a maid in the tittle, are you prepping yourself up to visit a maid cafe on the next Anime convention you will attend this year? Seriously, i do as i would invite my Auntie to go on a maid cafe the next time we attend an Anime con at the Megatrade Hall inside SM Megamall. But the weird part, i would tell my Auntie that i got started to watch Kaichou Wa Maid Sama at the start of this year so that's why i'm inviting her to go to a maid cafe on an Anime convention after all of that shopping for Anime goodies. So, if you want to experience visiting a maid cafe & of course, trying their sweet yet yummy treats, go & watch Kaichou Wa Maid Sama, you might forget all of your problems there!

Shopping Spree On The 16th

Alright, it's like last year all over again, but it's ok, i would even have to try to shop until i drop next weekend. Right now, i need to buy some important stuff that i haven't bought since last year. So, next weekend will be fine for me, or maybe far from fine because just like last year, this year, i'll be out of the house! My main priority why i decided to go out & hit the malls on the 16th which will be next Sunday to be exact, is aside from buying the gift Auntie Misato should gave to me last Christmas, but i exactly remember one year ago, i said to Auntie Misato when we were at Toy Kingdom-SM Megamall, at the Anime section to be exact, i decided to buy a KR Blade Rider Hero Series figure of KR Garren. I decide to go for Garren because it's Tachibana & not of my short Lelouch-like hairdo i donned during that time. That was last year, this year, it's KR Blade's turn. I was even thinking about buying more than one toy, if lucky, i would buy a Barbie Twilight Bella Swan doll. (Thank god i read Twilight & i only end up reading the first 3 chapters. Too bad.) But somehow, going to Toy Kingdom sometimes is like reminding me of my childhood.

Ok, so i even decided to buy some magazines, especially the October 2006 issue of K-Zone that i was dying to buy since June of  2010 where the craziness begins. But maybe more than just a copy of the mentioned K-Zone issue will be the set of back issues that i will buy next weekend. But, what should i use whenever i go malling? An eco-friendly tote bag! I even knew that since 2007, i was more of a shopping freak, i don't want to waste time before i go back to school in June via home-schooling. (Where i will spent the last or last 2 years of my high school life before entering the intensified years of college.) In other words, before i buy some notebooks, bring out the books i used once when i was in Junior Year & buy the books for Senior Year & get started for an intensive school year ahead, i would have to get started to buy the stuff that i need before there's once a time i'll hit a large tote bag filled w/ school supplies, wear my basic HS uniform & go to school. But since  school is on by June, it's time to spend my freedom first before i go back to the habit that i spent for the rest of my dear life, going to school.

As i wait for next weekend, i can't wait to buy the stuff that i need, i don't want to waste a precious day on not fulfilling all of my goals in life. Time to commence it all.

Beautiful Nostalgia

I was somehow remembering the first time i used a beauty product & it surely hits me even before entering the crazy times of high school. I just re-colored my nails again using my mom's nail color. Sorry mom, if you don't use that nail color that you bought last December, don't be afraid to give that to me because i can use it, but somehow, she didn't remember the first time i used her silver-white-colored nail polish even before i entered Junior Year HS. So for now, as i fulfill the goals i started since last year & the past decade, it's time to remember the first time i used a deo stick, to the choosing of cologne for my entire 7th Grade life to the first time i used lip gloss & lip balm to the first time i used nail color to the firsts of becoming beautifully chic. If it wasn't for my grandma who gave me a lip balm on heart's day, i was even thinking of buying it's matching lip gloss. But about the hair, i would even beg to my bed that i will try to twist & turn to achieve Vic Zhou's bedhead even i was trying to look more of a Japanese Superhero than a Taiwanese Pop star. Ok, let's get started, shall we?

When i was a 4th Grader, i was curious about using Secret Deodorant back in November even before i told my parents that i will watch Power Rangers Turbo on the 15th that will fall on a Sunday then. Mom bought me one & i want the pink variant, but i end up having the yellow variant instead, but i don't mind it, i just used it instead. At least i just have a lesson that 4th Grade will be my gateway to know more of high school. But in 7th Grade, things gets more of like in high school. Before the first day of classes, my mom bought 2 different colognes in 2 different scents, i picked the one in the blue-colored bottle since the smell is like a light rainfall. That was my favorite scent, even until now, ok, what was the perfect cologne match that i knew it last December 2009? Lewis & Pearl cologne in Rain & body mist in Wave. (or Wish, please don't blame a Vic Zhou song because of that? Can i spray that on my Adidas-DLSU Centennial Jacket if Auntie Misato bought that for me as a birthday present now i'm turning 23?) Time to buy that soon. Now when i was in high school, i was more of the lip balm & lip gloss lover, even until now. Heart's day of last year, before i go home, my grandma gave me a Nivea Rose Lip Balm, i thought of buying it's matched lip gloss, Nivea Caregloss & Shine Pink Star Lip Gloss, pink lips are better, huh? I agree. Right now, i was planning to buy 2 different lip glosses in either pink or caramel hue at Saizen, one in wand form & one in a cellphone charm mini wand form. Nothing beats kicking off 2010 by looking chic in a simple way.

2010 was the year i tried to become a simple chic, with the nostalgia i knew about knowing my inner girl, it will be a better way for me to find out that i found myself to be chic.
