Thrill In A Grocery

I mostly thought about what will happen next to me if i stepped inside a grocery, should i wander around? Maybe, aside from buying what i need according to my daily basis. But hey, what happens next if crazy things does happen when you went inside a grocery? But for someone like me, i guess i feel like i created another story in my head again, like there were ribbons in my head, rushing to me when i see things in some places. But last Sunday, that was actually one thing i could rather wander like what if it happened when Auntie Misato is not around & she could rather text me to take care of Grandma for the weekend in other words: VACATION TIME!!!!! That will be the time that it's like an anti-depressant moment for someone like me. Unexpected turn-around, buy grandma's must-haves from the grocery, that might be my chance to buy what i need, i cannot spent the weekend vacation with no essentials. But i will tell you guys what just happened to me last weekend, talk about wandering myself in a grocery, listen up.

My parents, little brother & i went to Eunilane Grocery last Sunday night to buy some essentials that we need for the week. But 1 sighting could rather tickle my fancy. Am i seeing an original Power Rangers RPM toy made by Bandai-US sold at Eunilane? I could wish that i bought that for myself, but give me enough time, in other words, right timing please. Like if Uncle Kaji tries to buy what Grandma needs & he would ask me if i need something, then bring it on! I might buy that uber-cool PR RPM toy aside from my must-have essentials which are purely on the side of being beautiful. It looks like i have a thrill, even on a place like the grocery, i even remember the best thrill i did there inside Eunilane was to claim a sampler of Pond's Flawless White after i joined a text-in promo so i can claim a sampler of Pond's Flawless White Day Cream in a cute pink-&-white tube. (That's why my Grandma & Auntie knows that i was vain on being pretty although i don't wear too much make up, fine, i guess only a face powder & a mascara will work & i'm done aside from a lip balm & a lip gloss.) If that's not enough, maybe if this happen, i will feel better.

What more can i ask for than finding a storybook thrill inside the grocery or a supermarket. Buying what i need, checking out the new products, claiming samplers & a whole lot more, finding Mr. Right? Uh, let fate do this to me even in a place like that. 

If This Is Just Like Last Year, Hope It Will Be Better

Ok, my dad is out for a tourism tour with his students again on Cebu & Bohol, but this is just like last year again, but not like this year, last year, dad even went to Iloilo & Boracay. Don't worry, dad will be home by Saturday, but the question is, what he will bring home? Hope there will be more Otap from Cebu or for the better..... Lechon Cebu! Bring out the Mang Tomas because i'm hungry for Lechon! I remember last year when dad brought home some souvenirs, mostly on food from Cebu, i end up craving for marshmallows. (Yes, that costs me for being hyper until the month of March.) If there's more than Otap, Coke & Marshmallows this year, hope it will be better if dad brought a 1.5 litter bottle of Coke Zero so i can crave it along with Otap & Marshmallows & snacks that dad didn't eat during his trip. (Sorry dad, i cannot tame my hunger.) But somehow, dad will spill us unforgettable stories from the trip, like the skinny dipping by night sessions, it sounds quite like summer for me, finding out for myself that i got a sneak peek of summer from Boukenger & Evangelion plus a Chanel surfboard to add some chic to summer. (Thank god Blake Lively is the new spokesperson for Chanel!)

I just checked out the official CD-R King site & listed down what i should buy. Good thing they got a solar LED torch keychain in blue! They also have a keychain LED torch in blue, so Ateneo, right? But i was even thinking twice as of this moment to buy a new solar LED torch in pink, like the one i used to have from 2009 where i end up letting it stare on the sun to charge it up for power. It was my habit back then aside from watering the plants on dad's mini-garden. It was the best time ever that lasted until the final month of summer where the sun was just getting started to covered up by clouds as the rainy season draws near. If i would do that again, i hope it will be better, but hope it has the traces of the past year where i enjoyed watering the plants while giving a solar-powered LED torch keychain the power it needs from the sun while waiting for the days i will attend an Anime con at SM Megamall. Last year's summer was different more than the past summers. God, i feel like there was no single drop of rain that fell down from the sky, but when the month of May draws near, it started to change when the rain falls down. In other words, last year's summer was exciting than i thought.

But whatever it takes, what happened last year stays in last year, but when Deja Vu calls, i hope it will be better.

Finding My Beats

Who is somehow wishing to have a pair of the uber-cool headband headphones called 'My Beats' by Music Maven Dr. Dre? But if you can't afford to have a pair of these because it's pricey, why don't you find a pair of headband headphones which resembles the legendary My Beats Headphones? Ok, that's why i'm hooked on those so-called 'designed' headband headphones. There was a while back during the weekend when my little sister mostly used the ear bud-type earphones whenever she watches her favorite videos on her laptop. (Don't worry, i'm on my way to have an MSI Wind Laptop in either choice of any Power Rangers colors, either Pink like the girls of PR, Black like Will Aston or Adam Park or Crimson like Hunter Bradley aka my fantasy Ranger.) It was early morning back then when she have to get the earphones rolled around my MP4 Player. As i wake up, my eyes were puffy & i feel like i've seen a ghost. As i wake up, i told a story that i wake up in the early morning, seeing a ghost. ARE YOU EFFIN' KIDDING ME? That's my little sister!

So, i don't want to bother if i don't listen to my favorite songs on my MP4 Player, i suddenly thought of a back-up plan, buy a designed yet reasonably-priced headband headphones which is the cheap counterpart of Dr. Dre's My Beats Headphones. My pick is white-colored headband headphones with a pink background & a black star. Not bad to find a cooler reasonably-priced version of My Beats, at least i won't bother the next time my little sister borrows my ear bud-type earphones. But speaking of music, i was trying to get back my pink-colored Sony CD Walkman that dad bought from the US that dad bought to me last 2006. Time to give it a repair it needs after all. Yes, music is one thing to ignore the troubles of reality. It really started since 2 years ago, but i want to commence this plan anytime before this year ends. Ok, i would rather have to fix up my CD Carry-all & put the CD's that i love to listen again & again. Of course, there will be a time i will go to a record bar & buy CD's. But now i have an MP4 Player, i would try to fix up the songs, put some of it on blank CD-R's like my little brother used to do because he was a music lover. I was just getting started.

Somehow, music speaks louder than our feelings. But i was just getting started to play the music that speaks my feelings, thoughts & emotions. I remember when i was in Junior Year HS, i started to write songs. Should i continue this now i'm in the final stage of my high school life as i enter the new stage of academic life which everybody known as college? Bring it on, i've been seeing my future college uniform nowadays whenever i went to the malls. But i got some crazy sightings from my mind about what will be my new high school life. Maybe i might be stuck in a uniform, Mary Janes & a nice ponytail. Hope my former classmates from my former school still recognize me now i got stuck in a new school, found new friends & trying to work hard until graduation day. Let the music of my life reflect who i am after all.

Forget The Obstacles, Think About The Plan

Maybe i should forget on being awkward, in other words, i should forget what i did last night, what i just heard on my horoscope earlier today is that i should forget the obstacles who could rather stop me from commencing my plans in life. Instead, forget them, leave them behind, keep going until the plan is commenced. Ok, i would try to forget the only person who is dragging me to hell as of this moment, my biggest obstacle ever, my mom. Sometimes, she's driving us nuts but for me, she's dragging me to the depths of hell. (Yeah, the only way to forget mom's evil plans is to leave her behind. So me, dad & my 2 younger siblings should commence their plans without thinking about our big obstacle.) For me, how do i forget mom? Commencing the plan that i planned since a year ago, a starter could be listening to a non-stop Super Junior medley. Like, ignore the biggest obstacle of life, keep calm & listen to a non-stop Super Junior medley like you are stuck in SuJu's 3rd Asia Concert Tour & their 2nd Manila Concert. (Dang, is that the reason why i changed my FB Primary pic & i used Henry Lau of Super Junior-M as of this moment? Never mind, i just got a hangover from listening too much Super Junior.)

I don't know why but according to my horoscope today is to forget the obstacles that stops you from making your plans a reality, just calm down, forget the obstacles & keep going to commence your plans. But i don't need to worry if mom's a pressure in my game. There's dad, i always cover-up dad when mom is driving him nuts, being his partner-in-crime makes me think that i act like a boy trapped inside a girl's body. But the good part, i shared to him about what i want. Maybe last summer, i end up being calm, quiet & a curious thinker about what will await me on the month of June. Ok, i started to buy a pink-colored solar-powered keychain torch light like the one i used to have back last year. Sometimes, i love to have & keep the stuff that dad gave to me that i consider as my lucky charms. But for now, i would rather try to calm down, forget the obstacles & think about to commence the plans of my dear life.

WHAT Simon Atkins Should Know.....

Dear Si (That's my nickname for you, Simon is a common name, Si is a short term of your name ^_^), this is what you should know about being Iza Calzado's leading man, but you have a tight competition from a Taiwanese Pop Star. If you're reading this, you should know that you should bring up the glory of college basketball players becoming instant celebrities. 

 Dear Simon Atkins, congratulations on being the team captain of the DLSU Green Archers during the UAAP Season 73 Men's Basketball Tournament, i know you kick butt more on the hardcourt & your team's worst nightmare is of course, the Ateneo Blue Eagles, but i know that here in the Philippines, College Basketball Players are treated like celebrities. (Remember that sometimes, there are some celebrities started to date college cagers, i surely support the Megan Young-Nico Salva Love Story, i end up making a bunch of stories about their relationship, mostly about love even in the times of an enemy attack probably like a Super Sentai or a Power Rangers-like story. Anyway, today, i was watching the movie titled, 'Batanes' on TV & i found out that Iza Calzado, your leading lady in the horror movie, 'Sundo' where you played the role of a ghost (think bringing your scary role to scare the Blue Eagles, wait until you see the scared face of Eric Salamat when he see you as a ghost with your face doodled in foundation & eyeliner) has a Taiwanese Pop Sensation leading man. The name was Ken Zhu of the hot Taiwanese Pop Group known as F4, the group where Vic Zhou also came from, you know Zai-Zai's new hairdo could rather give him an identity crisis, looking like your team-mate, Maui Villanueva or sort of like the Super Blue Eagle Tandem of Ryan Buenafe & Nico Salva. Yes, the movie where Iza met Ken is more of a love story more than the time you met her which is more of a horror, i remember there were rumors spreading out during the time of 'Sundo' that you will leave basketball for showbiz, but you said you're still stuck with your La Salle jersey & shoot hoops more. It's ok, College Basketball players do considered now as instant celebrities. 

It's no surprise what you did on UAAP Season 73 opening day last year, flashing out the new Adidas-La Salle Centennial Team Jacket next to a super-hero costume claded hero named Enchong Dee. I was jealous to have the jacket that you wore on that day aside that i also want to have the Nike-Ateneo Team Shirt & Team Jacket that Eric Salamat & Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta wore also on opening day. If i would plan to go on one place that i haven't visited, like Batanes to be exact, i would bring the Adidas-La Salle Centennial Team Jacket along with my stuff as i go there to that place. If i only have the chance to bring the jersey of yours from the year 2008, aside from Maui's jersey also from the mentioned year. Like who would Iza admire more? A Taiwanese Pop Star or a College Basketball Player? I hope either Vic Zhou or Eric Salamat will know that soon.

Happy Centennial Year to La Salle, Animo La Salle!

Love, Tricia aka Jumbo-Tan (Jumbo Escueta Girl)

That Face vs. That Bum

"You might don't have the cutest face of a pop star, but you have the worth-it body of a super-hero. But, am i staring at the bum? It seems to be your asset."

What was i thinking since yesterday about assets. What is it better to have? The cute face or the curvy bum? ARGH! I remember once when i attend my 2nd Anime convention but first in 2006, as i meet my best friend, she cosplayed as Raijin-Oh's Asuka Tsukishiro & i was curious about her outfit, although it looks good for her, i was worried about..... THE BUM! It reminds me of the Raijin-Oh episode which was aired last 6/12/06, Asuka Tsukishiro's bum is just an eye-shocker, but become a hot topic for me & my BFF over the phone, until now! I was even worried about if i will still have my curvy bum as i do my best to lose weight like planning to play badminton this summer. (Yes, i do have a badminton racket! You don't need to worry about.) Maybe i will still have the curvy bum, even i would end up losing weight after an intensive game of badminton. Yes, i planned to play badminton this summer since the last time i played that sport was oh-so 2006. So, with the summer come, i can't wait to smash that shuttlecock to the other side of the court.

About the scene that i posted there on the top of this entry, i was curious of how PROO mainstay James Mclurcan prooved that he might not have the face of a pop-star but he has the body of a superhero. Yes, he has it, if you land in either a role of a hero, either Super Sentai, Kamen Rider or Power Rangers, don't mind if you don't have the face of a pop star like Vic Zhou, you might end up having a kick-ass heroic body as it gets physical like basketball. (Uh, this is not like the same as the brawn moments of the Ateneo-La Salle games of the UAAP since Season 70.) Although i have a full bust, has a curvy bum, strong arms & curvy hips, i might have to loose the bulge to get a knock-out super-hero body. Bring it on, i'll pull out the badminton racket this summer.

Bangs Trimmin' & Some Mama Vintage On Valentine's Day

It all started a few weekends ago on the last weekend of January 2011 when my Auntie told me to trim my bangs. She even told me to sweep off my bangs using a headband & end up looking like Yakitate! Japan's Azuma Kazuma after i accidentally knew it. But trimming the bangs? It's like thinking about too much about having Bouken Black's cute bangs. Or maybe since last summer when i thought about the bangs of Kit Taylor aka KR Dragon Knight. Sheesh, i was even thinking about getting the hairdo then back when KRDK debuted last summer before the start of SY 2010-2011. Yes, on the last month of summer where i decided to spend the last days of the hot season watching the Western Version of Masked Rider Ryuki while thinking of having Kit's cute bed-head 'do. So last night, i decided to trim my bangs using my mom's barber's shears which i need to clean it before using it. Now, i need to follow my Auntie's rule from a few weekends ago: Trim my bangs & don an Azuma Kazuma-like 'do, that's the Anime-inspired 'do she's been looking for.

Too bad i didn't have the cute gold-colored wristlet because it was worn-out, but never mind. But good thing i have a cute pouch & a black-colored zippered pencil case from mom. Talk about Mama Vintage even on the day of hearts, she even told me that she started to admire & started to date dad for 4 years back then when they were office-mates. I love to look forward for mom's heirloom times, the times whenever she gives me some of her stuff, even i didn't even know. Maybe i can find a cute gold-colored wristlet like the one i usually found on mom's cabinet. You know mom is not just the only one who gives me some of her stuff & passing it to me, even Grandma, she started it all. It's ok if last month, she just gave me her crimson-colored nail polish. More heirloom will come in the coming days until the end of this year. Don't worry, i will always post it here.  

Red Hero Valentine, My Lowdown On Valentine's Day

More than just the Nivea Lip Care Strawberry Lip Balm & the Nivea Caregloss & Shine Lovely Red Lip Gloss or the yummy V-day donuts offered at either Dunkin Donuts or Mister Donut, it's about hearts, right? But for a girl like me who is a sucker for the coolest Japanese Superheroes, i was thinking, could i spend the day of hearts w/ a cute Red Sentai hero? Isn't it sweet? Maybe i should make up a story about that since it really all started back 1 year ago as the new decade started. Red was the color that really dominates Valentine's Day. But for someone like me who is worth of a dreamer, has a story writing in my head, i'm still single, but not yet ready to mingle. The rule is, my parents are strict & my 2 Aunties are still single. If both of them are already taken by their respective Mr. Rights, i'll get the chance to be found by Mr. Right. But for now, i would enjoy the times of being a single girl. Instead, i would love to receive some yummy V-day donuts & dreaming of one day, getting found by Mr. Right even if it's not February, maybe the entire year i guess.

Since last year, i didn't even think about of having a boyfriend. My dream boyfriend could be a cute male Japanese superhero-look-alike or clone of sorts who will be there for me to protect me from harm & trouble. I spent most of my Valentine's Days since the year 2005 of being a single girl. Writing a heart on my cheek using lipstick that could contain fish scales, receiving chocolates & cookies from friends & receiving a cute lip balm from Grandma. (Whoa, that was last year on the day i also bought a cheap lipstick ball-pen for myself.) This year? Maybe on the day before, it was way too different although it was Grandma's 90th birthday. I was craving for Chinese food then since we went on a restaurant that serves Cantonese cusine. Yum, i could even use chopsticks instead of spoon & fork to unleash my Vic Zhou or Justin Chua side. But i wish i could receive a nice gift from my Grandma that could make my heart skip a beat. Maybe suddenly, the best gift i might get on the day of hearts on the coming years is, a boyfriend? I wish! Please give me a cute male Japanese superhero-lookalike or clone of sorts as my boyfriend, please?

Good Girl Me Or Bad Girl Me?

After listening to TVXQ's 'Are You A Good Girl?' on my MP4 Player last night, i asked myself, am i been a good girl, or end up being a bad girl lately? The bad girl me will begin if i think too much thoughts of a sad Hua Ze Lei, while the good girl me will begin if i think too much thoughts of a curious Adam Park or acting like a goof-ball type of Eric Salamat after winning 3 UAAP championships for Team Ateneo. The real thing is, the bad girl me will begin if someone pisses me out, i want to burn. While the good girl me will begin if someone cheers me up when i feel sad & want to tame the heat, like throwing a pail of water over a burning piece of paper. I was even thinking that there will be one day that the bad girl me will end up disappear for a while trying to get back the good girl me. The bad girl me will end up on a disco rumble, get out of there Lei. While the good girl me will end up curling my hair & trimming my bangs as what my Auntie said a few weekends ago, can't wait to snag Bouken Black's bangs while i trim my bangs using dad's barber's shears. Only the good girl me will have good rewards while the bad girl me will end up drinking a bottle or a can of Pepsi to go back into a good girl me.

Maybe i'll try to be a good girl instead. Good girls go bad only if they were pissed while bad girls go good when they were cheered up either by accident or when someone sees the sad expression of the face. Sometimes, my bad girl side will be unleashed if mom pisses me almost everyday, hearing my name hour after hour, doing some useless things that could almost makes me think that i'm going to collapse next to my bed, thinking that my end is almost near. While i'll be back as a good girl if someone cheered me up & in exchange, they will buy something to cheer me up everyday in case of a bad girl unleashing. I remember Auntie Misato said via text a year ago, she could only cheer me up if she will buy a toy for me, at the end of the text, she even said: Yehey, you will have a toy! Will that work? We are going to wait for that if she & her friend will end up eating at Jollibee & end up shopping till she drop for a Jollibee Kids Meal Toys Re-Sale Galore. Hope what she will buy there are the Anime-related toys that Jollibee created since the year 2005. I'll give her the list & she's on. What a better way to cheer me up whenever i feel i get pissed, i know that the Azuma Kazuma-inspired hairdo is the Anime-inspired hairdo she would love to see on me, that could be the good girl hairdo she's been looking for on me.

Maybe for Auntie Misato, she could rather end up watching Yakitate! Japan since she needs to know more about Azuma Kazuma. I'd rather buy her a DVD copy & some figures of Yakitate! Japan, she will be happy for that. While i'll be her favorite niece who turned out to be she will be a good girl when i'm around for her in an Azuma Kazuma-inspired hairdo. Now i know how to get the hairdo after what happened last January 30, talk about my Auntie knows the Anime-inspired hairdo she's been looking for in me. She found the Anime-inspired good girl hairdo, far from Lei's bed-head. Ok, thanks for making me a good girl, Auntie!

Injection & Medicine Trouble? Depression On The Loose?

"What happened to you before is for your blood test, they are checking your blood if you've already become a vampire."

My little sister joked at me when i told them the story about taking a small blood sample of mine using an injection or a syringe to be exact. It happened back on the year 2002 for a psychiatric test. That was the time back then i got hooked on taking Prozac, my favorite pill of the moment, if only i could take it now so i won't be depressed after mom pissed me off everyday. Vampire? Ok, i remember before Yasuka Saitoh of Boukenger ended up being Bouken Black, he was once a vampire, yes, he played a vampire once before he cut his long hair short & turn it on a bob. About what my little sister said, it kinda reminds me of that one. Like taking a blood test & take a blood sample of mine using a syringe. I would forget Lei's hairdo for a while & get Bouken Black's hairdo the next time i go to the salon. 

"What's the big deal of me having Bouken Black's hairdo? I had a hard time getting Lei's hairdo since November. Time to be in Super-hero mode instead. Besides, i love Japanese Superheroes & the guys from the Power Rangers."

The confession of the moment: i hate being depressed. When i got started in high school, i was curious what does depression means. But on the 2nd half of 2006, on the devastating day of my life as a high school junior (10/16/06 is the exact date), that's how i know about depression. Wrapped in a world of sadness, like how Hua Ze Lei suffers when he found out that Shan Chai just dropped out of school or Adam Park tries not to shed a tear or he will end up like Lei when he & his fellow rangers in PR Turbo found out that Zordon & Alpha-5 are leaving the Power Chamber, but don't worry Adam, replacements will take place after all, your question is already answered. If Lei is waiting for the day his sadness will be gone if Shan Chai comes back, Adam just realized that he won't be a crybaby after all. For me, i'll be Adam instead. Now throw in a can of Pepsi, i'll try not to be sad for now. 

Summer's Primer For The 2nd Time

After last year's summer primer that kicked off in the early years of 2010, it's on again, there's a primer in the hype that summer is near, even the weather doesn't mean that summer is just around the corner. So, for the 2 months in a row, summer has brought us a primer. Not just one, but 2. Found it on Tumblr by accident. First, there was the EVA pic of summer that makes me confused on the first place. But, until my BFF called me up on the phone when February came this year, she explained that it was just a promotion for the rash-guards that has the designs of the first 3 EVA plug-suits. (Now, i know what's making me raving for summer, kinda like the Boukenger team in their summer trends.) Now, i stumble upon a pic that is actually a promotion for Chanel, check out the surfboard here:

 Now it makes me feel that after i re-blog too much pics featuring Chanel bags, makeup, nail colors & perfumes including the legendary perfume that started it all for the label created by fashion icon Coco Chanel. I decided to save this pic because it really makes me feel that summer is almost near, just a few months away from now. Although summer is only commenced in 2 months, from April to May, i was even thinking of what i want to have for summer. So, i found myself the perfect one. Shinji's 01 Plug-suit Rash-guard & a Chanel surfboard in the trademark colors of gold (beige is the near color!), black & white. Let's see what's in my summer wish list as of 2010: 2-piece swim suits & board shorts like the heroes in Boukenger, 3 EVA Plug-suit-designed rash-guards & a Chanel surfboard along w/ the Chanel S/S 2011 collection. Ok, summer is just here.

I will try to start HIAB early before the UAAP Games this season, what will be the start of the 2nd version of HIAB? I'll add the new guys of ADMU & DLSU as i get started with HIAB V2.

Honest Hangover

Honestly, i can't get over January 14, the day i found out that Barbie Xu is married. Like my reaction was like this:

 That's my reaction, everyone. I even screamed out loud on the bedroom when i heard that news on TV, my parents even rushed to the bedroom & asked my why i screamed. I said, 'sorry, i heard the news that Barbie Xu is married.' The weird part is that on that night then, we are going to pick up my little sister at Katipunan Avenue! It's ok that i didn't wear my orange-colored Meteor Garden tee because we are just out then for a few minutes. Like that was the news that shocked me on the 2nd Friday of the year 2011, not like the 1st Friday of 2011 where i found out that the jerk is back. Nah, it's a different topic if i mention it here, let's focus instead on the news that Shan Chai is married for real.

Just a half of a banana from my little sister, chips & cheese cupcakes was the food i bought & ate from that unexpected day. Talk about that, i was even thinking about braiding my hair for a week until i get the desired look. Like if i braid my hair like Shan Chai for a few days to a few weeks & i should not remove it, i will end up looking like Adam Park from PR Turbo. That will be a piece of cake more than the time i struggled myself against the curlers to get Hua Ze Lei's bed head look that i just could not get. It's better to shift into turbo w/ curls more than tossing & turning myself in bed to get a bed-head. During the night, i did not tell my parents or my siblings about Barbie Xu's wedding bells, i just listened instead to my songs on the MP4 Player & ignore the world. Until now, i just can't get over that crazy night. But hey, it was fun after all. But to Vic Zhou, i kept listening to your song tittled, 'Make A Wish' since a few days ago, that could be my theme song back on that fated night. But about the hairdo, sorry, i won't get your famous bedhead, instead, i'll get a curly hairdo from that freakin' cute Justin Chua meets Nico Salva cute Chinese boy from Power Rangers Turbo. I knew his character name is Adam Park, but his real name? I will not mention it, it's a secret.

When Shopping Means Fun

I found out for myself about 4 years of not going to school means freedom. But as my freedom draws to an end this year because i'm going back to school by June, i need to finish the things that i started, although it's never to late to finish it. Although my biggest enemy of the moment right now is time. I hate wrong timings anyway. So, why i don't just talk about what i did yesterday.

There was a 3-day sale going on at SM City-North EDSA (Main, Annex & The Block), tagged as the 'the northern big sale'. Everything there are sold on reasonable prices. You know when it comes on 3-day sales that falls on the weekends, massive crowd of shoppers, items sold on rock-bottom yet reasonable prices, & of course, you will bring more than 1 bought items when you get home. Even when there's no 3-day weekend sale at the mall, i always brought home more than 1 or 2 bought items after hours of shopping at the mall, scouting one shop to another. So, maybe before i hit school by June, i will get started to buy what i just want to have. Back to what happened yesterday, i bought 2 bag tags featuring Lee Min Ho & Big Bang at Frame Plus for only P100, P50 each per bag-tag. Mom bought a picture frame set, also from Frame Plus so she can put Jet & Puffy's grad pics there & give it to our relatives. Only P150. I also bought a Naruto Shippuden dog-tag-like cellphone charm for only P20 at Cindy Carol, got to buy 1 more there this time for my MP4 Player. Mom & i even bought some mid-wedged flip-flops for only P50, what a steal! Good idea from taking a break from sneakers & instead, wearing flip flops or flats for a dressy feel. (What's next? Buying bottles of nail polish!)

Maybe there will be a next 3-day sale. I was thinking that might fall on the final weekend of February, although February has 28 days on a regular year & 29 on a leap year, everyone is looking forward for a 3-day sale, not just on February, but on all of the 12 months of every year. But even on a regular weekend at the mall, we all love to shop for everything we need. Maybe on the next shopping weekend at the mall, i might buy more than 2 back issues of my favorite magazines, buy lip glosses in caramel or pink shade in 2 different types, buy a headband for Puffy so she won't bother borrowing mine, buy more than 1 or 2 bottles of nail polish plus the ones i used before, buy plaid shirts, shorts & a blue-&-white striped top in long or short sleeve-type & hopefully, buy more KR toys at Toy Kingdom & buying a new diary using my little sister's Sodexo GC's. (Hope i will get more of that this year so i can use it while shopping for stuff!) But hey, since i have a job of being dad's assistant, i might have paychecks which is more than P100. From P200 to P1000 to be exact. (I only spend my paychecks to shop for what i need! But never mind, girls love shopping anyway.)

Ok, maybe on the next shopping spree weekend at the mall, either it's a 3-day sale or a regular day, buying more than 1-2 items will be sweet, but when hunger calls, you know where the places are, right?

Strike In!

I've been waiting for this since November & finally, this is it! PR Samurai/PR Samurai Striker is officially on! It will be aired this Monday on Nick-US & the toys that will be featured on the Bandai America Official Website will be on by Friday. (At least it's worth the wait!) You know guys how long i waited for this? 3 months to be exact! Maybe it all started when i saw the trailer of PR Samurai Striker on You Tube during the final days of November. I was even thinking who is that cute Chace Crawford-look alike cutie who becomes the leader of this brand-new PR team. I could rather think about unleashing my Gossip Girl side to know more about this cutie, but i need to wait for a few days during this month to find out more. Now, my life as a Power Rangers fan-girl already getting started to bloom, it even started on the month of hearts as the year of the Metal Rabbit hops in! Ok, so it looks like this will be exciting.

Cupcake Craving

Ok, recently, i have a craving for cupcakes since it's what we called an anti-depressant. So recently, the next time we at the family drop by at Goldilocks, i would rather crave for the 4 Goldilocks Glee Cupcakes, which has a free organizer so i can put some small knick-knacks. But how to eat those yummy cupcakes? It's ok to wear a cheeky shirt like my orange-colored MG tee & wear a pair of shorts & flip-flops which turned out to be my mom's puprle-colored flip-flops. About my hair? It's either i look like Vic Zhou, which is my favorite hairdo, the bed-head or like Azuma Kazuma of Yakitate! Japan after Auntie Misato told me last weekend to sweep my bangs using my head band. Ok, i have to slick a little bit of hairgel on 2 strands of my hair from the top & flip it from front to the back to get the hairdo of the coolest baker in Anime. I guess that's what Auntie Misato called 'The Anime Look' that she's been looking on me since she got started to attend Anime cons w/ me since last year. But never mind, i better follow that since i would rather look a cute cockroach than a teary-eyed Zai Zai. 

Been craving for cupcakes since the start of the year, after i heard the news of Barbie Xu's ringing wedding bells as she told the entire world that she tied the knot. (Guys, should i date Vic Zhou? Or you want me to date Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta on Valentine's Day?) After i crave a half of a banana from my little sister after we picked her up in the blissful nights of Katipunan Avenue, we have to buy what we need for the weekend like breakfast & snacks. I crave for cupcakes. My favorite cheap cupcake thrill are Cupp Keyk Cheesy Topps & Choco Topps (or if you want to try both, try the Assorted Topps!) Perfect to be paired with either Pepsi or Milo 3 in 1 For Adults. But since i want to try some cupcakes, i decided to try the Golidlocks Glee Cupcakes. Although i'm not a fan of Glee, but trying to buy the November 2010 issue of GQ Magazine with the 3 Glee mainstays (Lea Michelle, Corey Monteith & Diana Agron) becoming sexy & slightly wild although they're in an appropriate age level, i would love to try the cupcakes. Hmm, now it makes me feel that it all started when i decided to buy the back copy of the May 2010 issue of Candy Magazine with Diana Agron on the cover. (Of course, Ms. Agron herself started this so-called 'plaid button down shirts craze' since i've seen a photo of her wearing one, love to have 1 or more than 1 in my wardrobe.) 

So, without further ado, i better wait for this weekend for that to happen.

From Vic Zhou To Justin Chua

From the youngest member of Taiwanese Pop Group F4 to one of the breakout cagers of the Ateneo Blue Eagles, i thought about these 2 Chinese men (Although Vic is a Taiwanese while Justin is a Filipino-Chinese) when the celebrations of the Chinese New Year started since Monday. Both of them are different, even their field of work is different. Vic is worth of a singer/actor while Justin is a student/athlete. You know it, right? Ok, i guess there's no difference if i would love to have an Nike-Ateneo Team Jersey of Justin Chua aside from the ones that i want to have too. (Especially on Ryan Buenafe & Nico Salva & of course, Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta which i will miss for UAAP Season 74 now Greg Slaughter will be a Blue Eagle) Despite the messy bed-head turned short bob & the black arm sleeve w/ silver lining, Vic & Justin were the men who pushed forward & proud of being a Chinese. Even they had a wonderful road to the carriers they enter, they also survive the pains from heartbreaks to losses. (From the Shan-Chai-broke-my-heart moment to La-Salle-kicked-our-butts moment) All what they can find is the perfect Salva-tion. (& i'm NOT talking about Nico Salva you..... you..... never mind)

The life between an Asian Popstar & a Blue Eagle is different, the concert stage & the hard-court is different. The crowd is either different or same, but even if Barbie Xu or the La Salle Green Archers are the cause of the pains of their dear lives. Vic Zhou & Justin Chua proved that discipline pushed them to move on with their lives & have a better yet brighter tomorrow. For Vic, he made a simple wish to become the pop star he was meant to be, away from being Hua Ze Lei. For Justin, like the Super Junior-M track tittled 'Blue Tomorrow', he has a brighter tomorrow under the blue sky as he unleash his mighty eagle wings shaded in blue. This is my tribute to the youngest member of F4, the hottest & all-time favorite Taiwanese Pop Group & the breakout center of the Ateneo Blue Eagles, the 3-peat UAAP Men's Seniors B-Ball Champions. What a better way to celebrate the Chinese New Year right.

Hearts Of February

It's already February now, advanced Happy Chinese New Year & Happy Hearts' Day to everyone! I feel like this could be quite different from how i celebrate the entire month of February back last year where both Hearts' Day & Chinese New Year are both celebrated in one day, that day then was February 14. On back day last year, i found myself on some pretty cheap Valentine's Day gifts like a cute lipstick pen & a VNC Gift Voucher which ended on the end of the last month of summer. The cool part, i receive a Valentine's Day gift that doesn't really come from my Mr. Right, it's from my Grandma, a Nivea Rose Lip Balm. So, this means one thing for someone like me, a Nivea Caregloss & Shine Pink Star Lip Gloss. (Because it's pink & if i would love to, got to buy it's red color version, Nivea Star Fruit Strawberry Lip Balm & Nivea Caregloss & Shine Lovely Red Lip Gloss.) Maybe this year, my Grandma would love to give me a complete make-up kit! (Hope it has a vintage small make-up carry-all kit!) The hint is, my Grandma is turning 90 years old. Her birthday falls on the day before Valentine's Day. Grandma, Oba-San, Otanjyobi Omedatou! (Happy Birthday!)

Being her first grand-daughter, i admit that i have a lot of perks & boo-boos on being that. Grandma even asks me on when will i drop by at her house for a vacation. The last time i dropped by there for a vacation was June of last year where the tension begins of the 4th & final year of my freedom, it will end by June of this year where i will prep up my school supplies like my notebooks, pens, books & a cute tote bag. I have no choice but to have my long hair back, i want it long & layered like who i am when i was in Freshman Year HS back in the year 2004. As i go to her room to take a rest or sleep when night falls on my vacation at Grandma's house, it's like i was transported to the past because of some vintage feel & shabby chic-like details. That's the only room where i could sleep for the night w/o thinking. What i'm thinking will be erased as i step inside Grandma's room. Ok, so, i guess i need to wait for February 12 or 13 to drop by at Grandma's house. Even it's just for a visit, i would rather enter a room, stop thinking about the things is stuck in my head & let time stop on the place i called Grandma's bedroom.

Maybe i should not forget Grandma's old magazines from the study room, need it for some reading references.
