Silent Wall

Since 3 weeks ago, i feel quiet yet doesn't want to be bothered by my mom. I hate the times back on those 3 weeks or even by the start of March when mom is taking advantage of me, she blames me when i didn't do something but mom likes to pin-point me like i was the one who did this or that. Like of all the people in the family why is mom pin-pointing me? Do you think she can take advantage of me of doing stupid things & i would end up texting my favorite Auntie that i need help that mom is taking advantage of me? Maybe because of that, i end up being quiet during family gimicks & i would end up ignoring their conversations, i'm ending myself ignoring it by listening the songs of my MP4 player like the end of the world is near or even thinking of a time my favorite auntie & i will go malling. Don't even think i'm turning on my emo mode everyone. Not really, i will not reach for that black eyeliner. I would just have bangs like Julie in the funny C-Drama 'Chu Chu My Daddy' since Julie is a sweet-looking Gothic-Lolita like girl who in the first few episodes of the show, she's holding a doll. Don't worry, i'm still into vintage goodies & girly stuff but not really turning on my emo mode after all of these.

Maybe thinking about the reason why my mom is taking advantage of me will take a toll on me, i should not think about it too much or i might lose focus on my life plans. So that's why whenever dad caught me on emo mode, he would rather flash his smile to cheer me up or trickle some drops of water using his fingers like he would reach the sprayer & spray some water on my face. I remember back last Friday when we were at Banapple at Tomas Morato, i was super-busy finishing my Chicken Parmigiana Plate, to my surprise, my little sister who graduated from AB Economics at Ateneo ordered me a can of Pepsi, she knew i love Pepsi since Vic Zhou's bedhead days before Zhou Mi could even impress. I was really busy eating then, mom asked me if i'm ok, but i didn't say a single word because i was busy then with my meal on the plate. During dessert time, i said i didn't have a birthday cake on the day of my birthday, but my little sister said that i was dreaming too much that it was still March 17 although that day was dated March 25. Nah, i love the Chocnut cheesecake at Banapple, i would love to crave for a whole so i won't be depressed, where's my can of Pepsi, please?

Silence could be an emotion or thought, if words cannot describe silence, maybe actions will describe it. But if i cannot say the reasons why i become so silent, give me a piece of paper & a pen & i will write it down. Hope you understand why i want to be quiet for now. 

The Cheer-Upper

You surely need a friend who will be there for you to cheer you up in times you're bummed & lonely. Somehow, the one who cheers me up whenever i'm down & thinking that the world throws some s*** on me is my beloved Auntie who i would rather text her in case of trouble.

I've been doing this since last year & i would rather do this in case i feel like i'm in trouble. She could rather cheer me up, telling me to cheer up while she would rather promise me that she will buy some cheer-uppers for me like a cute Jollibee Kids Meal plus toys of my choice, Pocky & a whole lot more, she would rather give it a shot on exploring my world full of vintage & modern finds. (Or even requesting me to drop by at my Grandma's house for a vacation when she goes out of town with her friends. I love what happened last June 12 of last year where i decided to drop by at my Grandma's house for a vacation, that was the 1st & only time i went on vacation at Grandma's house since 2009, but it's ok, it was insane after all.) But i guess the concept on Auntie Misato which is my favorite Auntie who could ask me to drop by at Grandma's house for a vacation could be fun. Maybe the lunch or dinner could be a yummy meal from Jollibee & i would rather find some must-read magazines & books. (Oh crap, i haven't finished the book 'Shibumi' so far. Got to read it soon the next time i drop by there for a vacation.)

But, whenever we go out, either for shopping or attending Anime cons at SM Megamall, it would be fun if we shop for everything we need. She could rather caught me shopping for a bunch of Anime goodies. But where to eat lunch & snacks? It's on Tokyo Tokyo or good ol' Jollibee or McDonald's for lunch & Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt for snacks, having my Green Tea Fro-Yo topped with mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, crushed grahams, almonds & a strawberry wafer stick like last year's summer when i ended up watching Power Rangers Turbo on YT. But i would even wish that the fun times of last year could rather have a better repeat, when my favorite cheer-upper, Auntie Misato is there for me. But maybe i would rather remind her that if i found the perfect Jollibee Kids Meal toys for me, i would rather tell her to buy the complete set at the start of the month! (MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!) It's always better to start early, ne? Fine, good thing i found my cheer-upper now.

Vintage & Modern

Can you bring back the memories of the past to the present? Maybe everybody would pull out a vintage look even right now in the modern times. Somehow, this is how i bring back the vintage in the modern.

I was really a sucker for anything vintage aside from anything modern, it's not until the time when i was a kid whenever i receive something vintage from my Auntie, Grandma, mom or any of my relatives. Last year was surely a lot even though i didn't spent a vacation at my grandma's house throughout summer of the mentioned year. I can't forget the time my auntie on my mom's side gave me some uber-cool bags including an LV bag! After the 2 intensive months of summer back on that time, as June comes in, i was curious about how will the vintage surpasses the modern times? So, during the June 12-14 vacation weekend, i was ending up reading my grandma's old magazines while thinking about what should i do by June as i attend an Anime con. Every article on those magazines are related to anything vintage. From vintage accessories to vintage clothes to vintage school supplies to vintage home decors & furniture & so on & so forth. I only wish i could use any of those. But somehow, i'm surely a sucker on reading old magazines while i get stuck on my grandma's house for vacation more than doing absolutely nothing.

Right now, i'm raving to buy a vintage camera necklace which i found at Vida Doria, one of my mom's favorite stores. Although i was not looking there for clothes, maybe the accessories will do. A vintage camera necklace & an all-in-one clutch wallet could be my must buys, i don't know if i will buy more accessories while mom is looking there for clothes. I was somehow also looking for vintage shirts like the vintage Pepsi shirt i found on Greenhills which slightly reminds me of the while tops & pants F4 wore in their Pepsi ad & the colorful outfits Super Junior-M wore in their Pepsi ad. (Curiously thinking, who is holding the Pepsi bottle? Is it Hangeng or Kyuhyun?) But so far, i was even raving a must have outfit that i raided from a Masked Rider's wardrobe. A blue & white striped long-sleeved shirt. Haha, i've been looking for that since it spells vintage & fresh vibes. But somehow, i would rather focus myself first on buying vintage shirts & accessories for now since the vintage vibes were surely on since last year. Ok, time now to find some vintage feel. 

Summer Striker

Summer is officially here, the last days of school is already here. Maybe for the students, it's either they will take a break from the 10 intensive months of school work & have a vacation or take a summer job or business to earn money & know more about the life after school. Somehow, i was thinking about what should i do during this 2 months of freedom under the sun. Maybe what i haven't done in the summer of 2009 & 2010, i will do it this year. Knitting & badminton, anyone? Maybe it will be just like those 2 summers where i go out of the house on some days where i don't want to be lazy. But there are some questions rushing in my head. The main question is would i even wish that this year's summer is like last year's summer? Will i ever get a haircut? Will it be a short 'do like Henry Lau or long & layered with bangs? Will i give it a shot on coloring my hair like most Asian pop stars & Japanese Superheroes? Those & the other questions that are all stuck in my head will be answered soon. But somehow, it feels hot in here because summer is officially here.

Summer for me this year could be just like a mix of summer 2009 & summer 2010 where i could crave for something new while ending up hitting the malls on weekends & some weekdays. The summer sun is heating up on April as new local & international TV shows will rock into your TV screens that will surely last until the start of the brand new school year by June. Even if the summer sun could be covered by the rain clouds as the rain kicks off by May, it's like you need to try something new. Something new means interesting.

I was even curious of what will i look forward for summer 2011. The circulating rumors about Boukenger's free TV airing could happen by the 1st half of this year, like i was surprised to find out about the free TV airing of the 2 Detective Conan Live Action movies which was aired on Christmas Day & New Year's Day, but i found out about it on summer. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was the highlight of summer 2010. I would rather have to attend an Anime con at SM Megamall with my Auntie who i would rather give her the chance to explore the world i'm exploring right now. (Like i would force her to watch Boukenger? Bring it on!) I remember i ate too much cakes back in the summer of 2009 like a Red Ribbon Red Velvet cake while eating ice cream & drinking Coke. On New Year's Eve before watching the 2nd Detective Conan Live Action movie (where i will never say a single word while staring on Shun Oguri's 'shirtless?' scene where i found out about the return of Shunichi Kudo that i even talk about it to my best friend who knew about my boy-crazy personality), the perfect snack pairing was a slice of Red Ribbon Chocolate Mousse cake & Coke Zero. (YUM!) Could i have it this summer? But maybe, i would even think about drinking Pepsi. (Hurray for F4 & Super Junior-M!)

I remember last summer, during a special family lunch for 1 of my Grandma's birthday, i've been drinking too much Diet Pepsi. Ok, so Pepsi was the main focus of summer 2010, could this happen now for summer 2011? Find out. Anyway, summer is officially here.

Memories Of The Past Summer

Why i kept realizing that until now, the best summer that i got is last year where i could think of going to the mall & shop. That was also the time i ended a 4-year hiatus of not attending Anime cons, it all started when i accidentally attended an Anime con at SM Megamall just because i thought it will be just a day of shopping. (*says oh crap in Mandarin* I thought it will be just a boring day but i was surely wrong.) At home, i would rather try a new hobby or watch something new on TV or read an old or new magazine or book & read it until the end of summer as June kicks off a brand-new school year. There is also the time where some family reunions do happen for a birthday. Could i ever admit that these events that happened on the summer of 2010 will happen again this year? If the funniest moment i ever did on the summer of 2009 is to eat some ice cream & Red Ribbon Red Velvet cake while checking out my comments with pics of either Super Sentai or Kamen Rider flooding my Friendster. But on the summer of 2010, the funniest thing i did is i received 2 more samplers of a Sunsilk Damage Repair System 10-day trial kit, the last set? I received it on my dad's birthday. What will be for summer 2011? Find out soon.

Last year's summer is quite similar to summer 2009 except that summer 2010 has the highlight of the first time i attend an Anime con after 4 years. I remember my little bro asked me if i attend Ozine Fest 2010 at SM Megamall & i said yes. But i didn't told him that i attend there with Auntie Misato by accident. But summer 2010 is actually the start of the National Elections where the entire country is voting for a new leader. C2 then on election day was worth P10 & you need to show a thumb pressed in an ink pad, as an evidence that you already voted. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight kicked off on election day, but i watched it 2 days later on the morning where mom told me that Dragreder is Kit Taylor's 'Guardian Dragon'. Wait, when i watched TV on summer, summer 2009 was focused on the Japanese version of Hana Kimi Live where i first witnessed Hiro Mizushima away from his famous KR Kabuto character. While summer 2010 is focused on Kamen Rider Dragon Knight where i found out Stephen Lunsford was going to be Kit Taylor, the innocent little boy who has Hua Ze Lei's hairdo but has Shinji Kido's personality. (Great, no wonder after i watched KR Ryuki on 2004, KR Dragon Knight was surely no different, it's a must-watch after all.)

The only thing i never did last summer but i'm excited to do this summer is to try something new like learning a new hobby or going out with Auntie Misato to Quiapo to buy DVD's of my favorite shows which focused on the world of Japanese & Western superheroes, Asian Pop Stars, 2 Asian dramas focusing on a girl trapped in an all-boys school as she disguised as a boy & a medical drama where 1 doctor needs to find the cure of his broken heart & some interesting cartoons & Anime. But somehow, i can even do that even in Recto, since FEU is quite near Recto although it's located in Morayta. I would rather bring out the list of my favorite DVD tittles & search them, then buy it & watch it when the days are quite boring. About learning a new hobby, i would rather learn knitting. But i would first know the basic knitting since i'm a newbie in the knitting world. After i found my dad's crochet hook, i was thinking twice of learning how to knit. So, before i pull out my school books & spend the final years of high school by June, i would get started to learn more about knitting.

Ok, may summer of 2011 be like summers of 2009 & 2010. Good luck before i go back in student mode by June of this year. 

From The Traces Of Last Year's Summer

If this upcoming summer will be just like last year's summer, this is not a dream anymore. I would rather turn on my MP4 Player & play my favorite songs while drinking a 500ml bottle of Pepsi like what Super Junior-M tells me to do & read my favorite Manga comics while waiting for that Sunday where i will attend an Anime con at SM Megamall that my Auntie & i will attend. What i started on last year's summer, i decided to hype it up for this year's summer. Just because now, aside from my dad, my little sister is trying to get a job after graduating from college. The world today needs economists, like her. But the twist is, this time, i would rather beg my little sister to treat me to this year's UAAP games, pay debts (she has no escape from me because there's an interest! I smell the shopping money!), treat us for her first paycheck, blah, blah, blah. But i remember dad said, "Don't worry, i'll answer her needs." one time. Do i even think that? Haha, i know. But about the traces of last year's summer, i would rather get started on knitting.

After i found dad's crochet hook last year & some thread which is perfect for knitting, i got started to find some sites where i can learn on how to knit. So, maybe i would get 3 choices, learn it from an expert, buy books related on knitting & find sites about basic knitting. That could be a brand-new hobby that i would do for summer after i found some materials related to knitting last year. I would rather get started on having my earned loose change & convert it into hot paper money. (I would rather save-up some moolah not more than P20,000 to buy that gold-colored MSI laptop that i'm raving for because of it's design & details.) Somehow, maybe i would get started on continuing what i just started like scrapbooking & shopping. I was even planning to play badminton since i have a badminton racket, but i don't have a birdie aka shuttlecock. What happened on last year's summer could be brought to this year's summer. But i know it's not quite the same, but summer of last year for me could be the zaniest of them all, do you think summer of this year will be just like last year? Let me think about that soon!

Trace The Begining: Club Pepsi

Just came from COLF earlier with my mom to pay my little bro's unpaid fees so he can graduate this month. The crazy part is, it happened on the day before i turn 23! Yikes! But good thing St. Ignacius & St. La Salle answered my prayers that i wish my former classmates won't caught me wearing an Ateneo tee. But i kept saying to everyone who recognized me that i was 'Brainwashed by Ateneo'. (Sorry, i won't use the term 'Geass-ed' in a time like this where a best friend of mine which i accidentally met via an old Hero TV forum site who informed me that the cute boy who voiced Lelouch in Code Geass was actually the cute boy who played Adam in Power Rangers. I should be careful because the COLF me is different from the me right now.) But somehow, i talked to mom about a moment where i first rode the school bus alone, trying to wake up early, eat breakfast, take a bath, don in a nice outfit, prep up for school & get inside the school bus when it's arrived, the beginning of a club that started it all. The club is named, Club Pepsi.

Club Pepsi really began from the year 2004 where i began riding the school bus alone. I was the silent kid in the bus during the SY where i was worth of a rookie. But as days passed, everyone is asking me who am i after all. But i suddenly pulled out the real me away from the one they've seen in the classroom. A not-so serious girl inside a school bus full of kids from Kindergarten to High School. The rule is, drinking Pepsi is OPTIONAL. It depends on you if you would like to drink it, the only requirement of Club Pepsi is to unleash the real you away from who you are inside the classroom. But about the club's name is just a late call because from SY 2004-2005 & SY 2005-2006, the club doesn't have a name yet but in the fateful morning of March 10, 2006, that's where the Club got it's name.

Being the club leader is hard since i didn't even thought of an idea to give the club a name, all we got only are the club member's nicknames which are named after Pepsi's line-up of local & foreign endorsers. I have 2 as of this moment. But composed of the members of Taiwanese Pop Group F4 & recently Super Junior 3rd Sub-group Super Junior M which is ready for a comeback in the Chinese music scene this year with their album, 'Perfection'. Call me names like Jerry, Henry or Zhou Mi, it's ok. Suddenly, when heading on the way to school, Amanda, the cute sporty girl suggested the name of the club after i told everyone that the club doesn't have a name yet! So, she suggested the club's powerful name, naming after my favorite softdrink! Thus, Club Pepsi was the name of the once no-name club. A perfect moment to end my Sophomore Year back then, good thing everybody agreed with the name. 

Requirement: Separate your real personality from who you are in the classroom.

Optional: Drinking Pepsi.

To be a part of Club Pepsi: You don't have to be a die-hard Pepsi drinker, just show your real personality away from who you are inside the classroom. Somehow, if you made it to the club, i, the leader will give you your cool nickname named after a Pepsi endorser, either local or foreign, ok?

So, if you want to be a part of Club Pepsi, follow these rules, i will be looking for you.

I Like!

I was window-shopping with my parents & little brother at Trinoma last night until i suddenly found out for myself that i have a bunch of must-buys. Mostly found at Landmark, Pop Culture & People Are People. Ok, so i found A LOT at both Landmark & Pop Culture. Good thing last night's dinner ended up in a Korean twist because we end up having a yummy Korean dinner. My little brother even complained about the spicy taste of the Kimchi since he's a first-timer. But i'm no first-timer on Kimchi, just because the first time i tried 1 of Korea's side dishes aka banchan was in 2004 even before entering Freshman Year at COLF during a class field trip at a Korean restaurant. My meal then was a Pork BBQ Bento with rice & beansprouts. (Next time, i will order Beef Stew! It's sweet-salty in taste but really delicious!) What about a Japanese, Korean or Chinese lunch or dinner at the Landmark food court at Trinoma, ne? Before all of that shopping & window-shopping. So, after all of that dinner, the shopping & window-shopping has just began. 

My new discovery to shop is Pop Culture which has stall that sells assorted items from clothes to shoes to bags, to accessories to toys & a whole lot more. I had found some must-buys that i will surely use. Like a cute Coke Zero can phone! All it needs is a phone cable that i really need so i won't bother the next time Army-chan calling me or calling Grandma K on the phone whenever she needs me to go shopping or staying at her home for a vacation. (The crazy part, i'm going to tell dad to get some help from our telephone provider to connect a 2nd phone cable so it will be connected to my Coke Zero can phone.) Maybe i cannot forget my little siblings' transparent wallets that are worth P50. Ok, i'll buy 1 for myself! Buy maybe i would buy green & white since it's La Salle's Centennial Year anyway. (He-he.) Then, i was surprised by mom's pick of my perfect Boston Bag, a cute small Boston bag w/ red bow print & a gold shoulder chain. I can't wait to use it the next time i go out for either shopping or spending a weekend at the mall or family reunions or any event. (Thanks for the pick, mom!) So, maybe Pop Culture surely has everything!

Last, but definitely not the very least but surely i'm liking it. When i was window-shopping for People Are People with of course, my parents & little brother, i found some 2 must-buys that could be worth like P500 & below. A cute necklace with a pendant featuring the 4 symbols that could be seen in the usual playing cards you guys use when playing poker or solitaire. Spells like KR Blade to me, but i don't need to color my hair like Kenzaki, the necklace is woth P199. Then, i also found a cute silver-colored hair clamp with bow, it's worth P45! Ok, so i buy both of it, it's worth P244. (SO CHEAP!) Hmm, i would rather wait for the right timing to buy both of it.

Zhou Mi My Ribbons!

Ok, today, i decided to watch some YT clips featuring 2 members of Super Junior M. Mostly related to Canadian-born Henry Lau & Chinese-born Zhou Mi. As of yesterday, i watched too much Henry Lau clips, mostly tributes & funny moments between him & his fellow members of Super Junior-M. (Including those sweet tributes to him & Ryeowook aka Wookie, the tandem was known as Hen-wookie or Hen-wook) Today, i decided to give way to Zhou Mi, the member of Super Junior-M who is purely Chinese & born in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Before he joined SJM, Zhou Mi joins several singing & hosting competitions in China before he decided to give it a shot to join SJ's sub-group who is dominating the Chinese music scene. (& oh, since his last name is Zhou, i don't think he's related to Vic Zhou of F4, hell NO!) But what i just like about Zhou Mi as of this moment after all of that too much Henry? Maybe there's always a ribbon tied around the collar of his button-down shirts that he mostly wear in pictorials & even on the Super Girl MV. But somehow, this duded is talented since he wrote the Chinese lyrics of the songs for the Super Girl Mini-Album, wow, talented!

Recently, i even decided to think about pulling out a Zhou Mi-inspired look of tying ribbons around the collar of my long-sleeved button-down shirts like a school girl. Yes, whenever we go shopping for clothes, i was super-vain to buy some button-down long-sleeved shirts like Chris Tiu or even dad wears. Nah, i just want to look different while thinking of finding the perfect fabric for a tailor-made pleated mini-skirt. But about the ribbon? ARGH! Maybe i could find to buy a roll of cloth ribbons at either Carolina's or NBS. So, it's interesting to pull out a school girl image while i would try to wear either a ribbon or neck tie. But sorry dad, i won't steal any of your ties because i will buy some for myself only. The inspiration to pull out that look was from my little brother who even bought a black polo shirt with white pinstripes & a neck tie for a special event. Now, i have the perfect outfit while trying to find the perfect fabric for the cute pleated mini skirt i would rather wear, i will somehow think a lot about my hairdo. Will i end up having Shan Chai's braids & ending up on Adam Park's curls? How about Henry & Zhou Mi's hairdos? Or even a long, thin-layered hair? Let me think about that secretly before i reach my mom's curlers.

Thank you Zhou Mi for the ribbons. Please take care of KyuHyun like Henry would do of RyeoWook. 

School Shocker!

"Say what?"

I was informed by my mom that on Tuesday, March 15, my parents & i will go to COLF to pay my little brother's unpaid fees. Yes, my little siblings will graduate from high school & college this year but i'm in the height of a disaster waiting in the wings or woods? Yeah, my little siblings has some school like my little sister who is in a retreat while my little brother will attend class & graduation practice. So, it looks like i have no choice but to join them, i don't want to be stuck at home alone, all i need to do is to listen to Rico Blanco's rendition of the Ateneo song aka 'Song For Mary' while heading to COLF. This could be a slight game of hide & seek, just because i don't want to be caught by my former classmates to be seen wearing an Ateneo shirt & donning a new look. So, before the so-called make or break day, i need to prepare before the day that could turn me into a loser or a break-out popular girl. St. Ignacius, please help me!
 

Maybe i would rather bring some must-reads since i might be stuck at COLF for a few minutes to almost an hour while mom & dad are paying my little brother's unpaid fees. What should be in my bag, anyway? Blue-colored wayfarers? Check! Pouch with my important stuff? Check! Myx Mag K-Pop Special Edition ish & UAAP Mag-First Semester? Check! Myself? Oh crap! *says Oh Crap in Mandarin ala Jerry Yan from The Hospital* I am not fully prepared for an event like this, somehow, i was trying to wear my favorite Ateneo shirt which turned out to be my 2nd Ateneo shirt that i got from summer of 2009. (That was my little sister's XL PE shirt from the 2nd semester of her Sophomore Year.) Ok, so i'm prepared of what should i bring, but i'm not fully prepared of what will happen next on the day itself of March 15. Will i even survive this game of hide & seek? Or have no choice but to show up & reveal the new me to the people of my past life as a COLF student back then? The bad news is, this is not an LRT Line 2 Away to Katipunan Avenue. Ok, i'll keep my fingers crossed & rely on god for this day to come.

I have no choice, i will do this.

Hungry From All Of That Shopping

Yesterday, my mom & little brother was surprised when they found out i finished up a BK Whopper Jr. Stunner Meal. Finished eating the burger, then the fries, then taking a drink & then the Mango-Strawberry Sundae. Doesn't get even more yummier than that? I could even wish the drink could be Coke Zero just like the times last June that i'd always love to have Coke Zero as a drink when i got started to complete the 2 Jollibee Kids Meal toys for Card Captor Sakura back then. (Now, i need to watch out if there are some Jollibee Kids Meal toys which will be re-sold in all branches, hope they are according to my list!) Ok, maybe after all of that shopping for everything i need like magazines, accessories, clothes, shoes, school supplies & so much more & i suddenly felt the grumbling of my stomach, this means one thing. I'm hungry! So, no matter what fast-food chain i go, i will end up craving my hunger. Somehow, i just don't mind what my family talks about, i was just trying to enjoy my hunger, that's all, i got no choice after all.

Dare me when i'm hungry. I can finish a KFC Double Down with drink & fixin in 1 sitting. But if you ask me if i can finish a KFC Fully Loaded meal, i do. So don't make me wait to scream 'I'M FINISHED' when i'm done. I remember back last June, when i need to buy the last of the 2 Jollibee Kids Meal toys for Card Captor Sakura, i finished eating the Yum! Burger in 1 sitting & afterwards, i'm drinking Coke Zero & Coke Light by the time mom told me to finish her spaghetti. Craziest scenario while eating is when i need to sport a hairdo ala Hua Ze Lei or Kit Taylor & my mom is telling me to finish her meal. Now, if only i could do that if i curl my hair like those crazy daydreams of last summer before June kicks off. There will be some times when i want to collect some cute free toys from either McDonald's or Jollibee whenever the toy that they feature which is free in every Kids Meal or Happy Meal is based from my favorite TV show. (So far, i completed Naruto for McDonald's which the last one which is the ruler, my dad bought it for me! & Card Captor Sakura for Jollibee which it took me 2 Saturdays in a week to get it! It was even the start of classes!) 

Ok, maybe this time around, i will eat a KFC Fully Loaded meal for lunch at KFC.

A Dose Of TVXQ

Does it all started on the moment Yunho 'U-Know' Hyung confessed about his so-called man-boobs? Or the craziness of Xiah Jungsu & Mickey Yoochun in Paris on how to pronounce 'Bonjour' until on a concert, they started to spill each other's assets like Xiah has a big bum while Mickey has a big forehead? Or even listening to their songs sang in Korean, Japanese & even English! (Their song, 'Hug' has an English version, i don't know if their hit songs like 'Mirotic', 'Wrong Number' & 'Breakout!' has some English versions & if i found it, i will surely listen to it.) You know what i got yesterday? An overdose of TVXQ/DBSK. That's what i got yesterday & until now, i would rather enjoy myself watching some uber-cool & uber-funny TVXQ/DBSK clips on You Tube while i would rather wish on having a copy of TVXQ's Bonjour Paris DVD which contains their adventures & misadventures in Paris, France. (From Xiah & Mickey arguing & singing about the right pronunciation of Bonjour to U-Know's crazy antics during a tour bus trip to how Xiah said 'I Love You' in French & so on & so forth.) 

Yes, yes, i got an TVXQ/DBSK overdose since yesterday but it really started last January after i stumble upon a Tumblr post with a YT clip on Yunho's Man-boobs confession. Good thing i download some of their songs on my MP4 player so i can listen to it no matter what, but if only given the chance, i would rather color my hair ala Yunho 'U-Know' Hyung by the time he confessed his man-boobs. (Oh my god, that's my over-all favorite TVXQ YT Clip so far next to Xiah & Mickey's Paris blooper on how to pronounce Bonjour that ended them up singing & arguing in a funny way!) But for now, maybe i will enjoy my day watching a YT clip of any K-Pop group doing crazy things. (Maybe i should not forget that i'm trying to watch YT clips of C-Pop acts also doing crazy things like bloopers from Vic Zhou's 1st solo C-Drama, The Poor Prince.) For now, let me get in to this TVXQ/DBSK overdose before i will end up singing Vic Zhou's Make A Wish. 

Cheap Curiousity

Recently, i thought about buying a notebook so i can use as a diary & of course, buying some colorful ballpens. So, i checked out the official website of National Bookstore to find some must-buy yet reasonably-priced notebooks so i can use it as a diary. Suddenly, i thought about buying a cheap notebook but somehow looks like those slightly-priced notebooks. & then i found not maybe one, BUT A LOT? Ol, i just found the perfect one, it's an NBS Basics Kraft Spiral Notebook w/ a nice butterfly design, so girly but cute. Maybe i can buy that along with some Dong-A My Metal Pens, i just love to have some colorful pens whenever i need to write notes, letters or anything. (Let me clarify about ballpens, the Sakura Gelly Roll Pen Series which includes Aqualip & Souffle are ONLY used for scrapbooks, i remember when i was a new kid at COLF back then, that was the ballpen i always use in class back then. Now, i only afford it for making scrapbooks & crafts.) I remember i used to use my dad's pens for writing because his pens are WAY TOO awesome more than the ones i got. So maybe, i could surpass dad on who has the WAY TOO awesome ballpens used in different ways.

About the notebooks, i could buy more than 4 notebooks by June since i found out by this year, i will go back to school this coming SY 2011-2012, i would rather buy more than 1 notebook. It depends if the school i will land to spend my final times of high school could let me buy cute notebooks at NBS or i would rather buy the notebooks that is required by the school, just like my little brother who have to use the notebooks which was required by the school to be used. But it's ok, i have no choice after all, but i have the perfect school bag that i will use. For now, i have to buy the notebook i would use as a diary to write down what is happening on my everyday life. But maybe, there will be sometimes that whenever i go out, i would rather write down what is happening to me, now, i have a diary, could i buy or find the perfect yet matching ballpen? I might find 1 or buy 1 at NBS as usual. About the ballpens? I would rather end up buying all of the colors of Dong-A My Metal Pens & write according to my heart's content on any notebook, even a black paper stationery notebook.

Maybe for more cheap thrills about stationeries, i would end up buying some cheap stationeries at bazaars, stalls or at NBS, the next time i write a diary or letter, let me add some color in it.

School Life Crisis

Is my life with the bitter rivals of the UAAP hits it's critical scenario? If i said maybe, then it's time to start a cover-up plan. (Not unless i play any song in my MP4 Player, too much Heart-breaker by G-Dragon!!!!!) Ok, so the plan is, if mom told me that we will go to COLF to pay some unpaid tuition for my little brother & this happened on a weekday, uh-oh, i smell trouble. Just an Ateneo shirt or a white shirt plus a La Salle or Ateneo jersey will work, throw some shorts & flip-flops or flats, don a Taiwanese Pop Star or Japanese Superhero-inspired look & that's it! I don't if they will mess with me like the girl they usually mess or they will not recognize me because i landed on place called: Katipunan Avenue, the home of Ateneo De Manila University. (or Taft Avenue, the home of De La Salle University)

When i have to listen some music & the destination is my former school, time to pull-out a Joshua Webb-like image like he's listening to his favorite tunes while prepping up for a game. (Good thing i bought a pair of head-phones which is like a cheap version of Dr. Dre's Beats headphones.) Ok, so it was Joshua 'Spider' Webb of the DLSU Green Archers was the reason why i rave for those stylish headband headphones which are inspired by Dr. Dre's Beats headphones. Now, my freedom from school will draw to an end by June of this year, continuing my high school life on a different school, with different people to meet & a different ground to surpass, i don't know if i will still remember my past student life, or it will fade away by just 1 strike or 1 aim. Now, i was trying to set aside some moolah to buy everything i need, including a laptop which i was trying to think if i should buy the gold-colored laptop or the red (er. Crimson)-colored laptop so i can use it for some school work & net-surfing. Ok, so i decided to have my long hair back, that's what my mom wants for me, so i have no choice but to follow it. So, now my freedom of 4 years will draw to an end by June, donning a school uniform could be the sign that i'm back on being a student. 

Never mind, all those 4 years of not attending class could be a fab because i have the time to think about what i want to have & end up going to the mall on the days where i'm in the mood for shopping. Or even trying some new things like Pocky or reliving the things i haven't done in a while like attending an Anime con at SM Megamall's Megatrade Hall. That's are the time where my hair is below the shoulders & i don't have the chance to whip it back & forth. Now school is officially on by June of this year, i will only do what i did for 4 years on weekends or on holidays aka the days of 'NO CLASSES' are announced. Never mind, hope this moment won't turn into a disaster.

Plaids & Stripes

Right now, i really need to have a wardrobe expansion. But yesterday, i just found what i need to wear.

When my mom & i shop for what we need to wear for our graduation & some wardrobe expansion at Landmark-Trinoma, i just found some wardrobe must-haves aka wardrobe add-on's. What i really want to add on my wardrobe? Just 2 pink/grey & blue/grey striped 3/4 sleeved hooded tops. Never had that in my wardrobe, but i surely want to have that in my wardrobe & i can wear it when i don't have a jacket & suddenly, rain on the lose! (The perfect top every time i go out & i found out there's some rain clouds on sight.) Then, there was the plaid polo shirts i've been raving for after i saw some pics of Diana Agron sporting a plaid shirt pairing it with a classic pair of jeans & a comfy pair of shoes for a simple classic vintage-like feel. God, i go crazy for the perfect plaid shirt, but i guess i found more than one, now, i also want to feel formally femme.....

Ok, so i was EVEN looking for the perfect black button-down long-sleeved shirt  (i want the one with white pinstripes, please) so i can pair it along with a solid-colored necktie & throw it with a cute mini-skirt for a school girl feel or shorts for a casual twist. About the necktie? Nah, i just want it solid-colored & the colors is according to my choice. The inspiration of the look is yes, Chris Tiu, the 2-time Team Captain of the Ateneo Blue Eagles. So i decided to look for the perfect black with white pinstripes button-down long-sleeved shirt & perfect solid-colored neckties. Maybe if i would, i would rather have a tailor-made mini skirt. (Just because i really have a hard time finding the perfect mini skirt so far) 

Why am i doing this? I would rather say good-bye to my old look & say hello to my new look that i will don until i die? Sort of. Just because i don't want to be the same girl, i just try to find myself after all, trying to find the look that suits me. 

Brainwashed By Ateneo

Rico Blanco's rendition of 'Song For Mary' aka Ateneo theme & too much Code Geass (R1 & R2) English dub clips will push me to the limits to find out that for 4 consecutive years in a row, Ateneo was the 1 school that stuck in my head, but don't forget it's bitter rival, La Salle in the mix. (Power Rangers clips from assorted teams are surely included in this so-called 'Ateneo Geass-ed me.' moment) Just because yesterday, forgetting Ateneo is NOT a choice. It's a choice, there's no turning back. In other words, Ateneo is taking over my life! Yesterday was crazy after i could rather wish i bought that cheap DLSU jersey at Greenhills. Just because i passed by at my former school &i end up saying, 'That's not-so Animo' a bunch of times. ARGH!!!!! The next time i go to Greenhills, which will happen after my 23rd birthday, i am going to buy that cheap La Salle or Ateneo or both jerseys! Maybe more than just the cheap Ateneo & La Salle jerseys, more than the Mr. Bean Teddy Stuffed Toy, more than the cute Boukenger Digital Watch or more than everything i want to have, there's a part of my past life still stuck, but i forgot.


Sometimes, there are some parts of the past we forgot by the time we move forward fast, as if we don't know who we are in the past as we enter the future. Crap, i think too much of Ateneo as if i would rather memorize The Ateneo Song aka 'Song For Mary'. Is it ok to show up to my former classmates in my Ateneo gear or La Salle gear? Maybe that spells trouble, but in a proper way, everything will be fine unless my family is crazy for college basketball. But sometimes, we all have a past life after all, if we find out who we are in the past, it might tell us who we are before, comparing it to who we are now. Now where is my Corona Aurora? The Power Rangers Empire needs me because i'm their Queen! NORG! WHERE IS MY CROWN? COULD YOU FIX MY THRONE NOW?

The Busiest Month Of March, Ever!

It's not like last year which is more of a laid back & the busy times kicked off on the summer months of April & May that continues until June. But i guess this year, this month of March will be the busiest of them all because of graduations & my 23rd birthday. So, i even have some unfinished business to do like completing my shopping, yes, i will buy a lot of stuff that i need according to my shopping lists, for now, what i just thought is to complete the 2010 & 2011 issues of Candy magazine while i was just trying to buy the perfect notebook or the perfect diary, i love to write down what happened in my life today, but i keep it as a secret since i love to write in a diary. I don't care if it's just a simple notebook, a cute stationery notebook or what so ever, I REALLY NEED A DIARY! But somehow, i was also getting started to have my wardrobe increased on fashionable finds like casual dresses, comfy flats & stylish bags. Meanwhile, my interest of beauty finds is still on, i was even trying to save up some moolah for a shopping spree at Saizen. Their beauty goods there do cost P85, i could rather buy a complete vanity kit full of make-up. But maybe i need to buy 2 different kinds of lip glosses for now. 

Speaking of make up, i was interested on buying nail colors, my mom loves to go to the salon sometimes for a pedi/mani session. I was just trying to wait for my hair to become long & go to the salon for a haircut. I don't know if i will get a thin, layered long hair like what i used to don in 2004. But what about coloring my nails? Don't worry, i do it because i had a 'crash course' on coloring nails thanks to my mom's favorite manicurist. (Who says my hands are only used to draw Anime characters, huh?) Now, let's go back to the shopping topic. I'm still actually in the hunt for back issues of selected magazines, i guess it's not just on Filbar's-SM City North Edsa. If i attend an Anime con at SM Megamall, the stop will be at Filbar's SM Megamall after a fun time on an Anime con. (Maybe i can score a back copy of K-Zone's October 2006 issue & i would end up jumping & screaming for joy with my Auntie like we scored the jackpot. Somehow, all what i need to buy is listed down on some checklists that i can check when i just bought it. But about bringing a folder along with me when i go shopping to check out if i bought what i need. 

Anyway, i'm still on a fling for shopping, got to go to the malls soon!
