Memories Of UAAP Season 70

It was quite unusual for me on the hype of the college basketball season throughout the 2nd half of every year, circa 2007 where UAAP Season 70 is the most intensive season before UAAP Seasons 71-74 where we could only know is La Salle is seeking revenge over Ateneo. Over a late dinner earlier, i told my younger sister that Ateneo has a game tomorrow against UE. Who cannot forget the intensive season back 3-4 years ago where a step-ladder occurred? It's the Step-ladder system. When a team goes 14-0, that team will automatically book a ticket to the finals & the 3 other teams will square it all out until 1 team will take the last ride to the finals. As i would know, during UAAP Season 70, Ateneo is focusing on their main target, good ol' La Salle. The return of the celebrated rivalry that no one can't find it's remedy, it's an epidemic. I could remember this moment where a rookie named Kirk Long aimed a buzzer-beater against UST. All what Ateneo focuses is to seek revenge against UST after a painful Season 69. (Just because La Salle is back last Season 70, Ateneo is going to take down on their bitter rivals.) & during the first of 3 step-ladder games during that time, Ateneo defeated UST, booking another trip to a game with their bitter-rivals, La Salle. All what the Blue Eagles want during that time is to take the Green Archers down. Snap their arrows with their strong talons & attack them with their sharp claws. What Chris Tiu wants is to take TY Tang down.

I admit i watched the Kirk Long Buzzer Beater clip circa UAAP Season 70 sometimes due to that it was an American-born Blue Eagle who is meant to shine was the one who did the unthinkable, winning the hearts of all Ateneo fans, supporters & his team, the Blue Eagles. (Like what the Blue Eagles thought during that time, a deja vu from the past season? No, Kirk came to the rescue & he did it!) So, i was even thinking that i'd wish i had an Ateneo Blue Eagles 2007 jersey, probably on either the so-called 'the back-up crew' like Ford Arao & Ken Barracoso, or probably Jai Reyes? Chris Tiu? Nonoy Baclao? Kirk Long? Ok, 6 player jerseys is just what i need. (I wish i knew last 2007, i was thinking if my-so-called Ateneo Bias is Ken Barracoso back then.) DING! I wish that was my weapon on the day of the class reunion where doom could come in. What should i call myself on class reunion day? Ken Barracoso-tan? (Ken Barracoso Girl) Sheesh, this so-called 'Ken Barracoso Syndrome' is coming back to me after 4-5 years! I would rather think of how to show up in a class reunion then i will beg my little sister to go to ADMU & i will raid the A-Shop for the jerseys.

If this fails, i would go for the bliss of 2008 where Adidas created the coolest jerseys for both DLSU & ADMU. (Maui Villanueva, Joshua Webb, Ryan Buenafe & Nico Salva, anyone?) Fine, it would be better if i will show up as a Blue Eagle/Green Archer than a sore loser came class reunion.

The Super Junior English Names Memory Game

This is one thing i could know for myself, listening to Asian pop songs, knowing the names of each members of a boy or girl group. In my surprise, knowing their English names from the 13 original members of Super Junior is a really hard test for someone like me. Let me ask you guys, especially those die-hard SJ fans, do you know the names of the 13 original members of Super Junior, IN ENGLISH? If you guys don't know, it's ok, you can find it on the internet. I don't know whoever fan knows the official English names of all 13 SJ members, since every SJ fan knows that SJ-M's Henry Lau aka the baby-faced singer/dancer/violinist of the 3rd SJ Sub-group has used his English name for a long time although he is born Chinese as Lau Xian Hua. Ok, now let me test your SJ wits even you could help me to give an English name to Henry's fellow SJ-M member Zhou Mi. So, are you guys ready for the SJ English names list? Ok, here goes:

Kangin =        Jordan Kim

Heechul =     Casey Kim

Siwon =         Andrew Choi

Hankyung = Joshua Tan

Eeteuk =       Dennis Park

Sindong =     Mathew Shin

Kyuhyun =    Marcus Cho

Yesung =      Jerome Kim

Ryeowook = Nathan Kim

Sungmin =    Vincent Lee

Kibum =         Byran Trevor Kim

Donghae =    Aiden Lee

Eunhyuk  =    Spencer Lee

Let me tell you guys that i've been using the English names of all 13 SJ members since last month & it was not a piece of cake memorizing it. I only know the 5 SJ-M member's English names. For the cute friendly pairings of all 13 SJ members & the 2 SJ-M members, i could rather use the English names, here are some examples: If you know Hen-wookie (Henry & Ryeowook), you can use Ryeowook's English name, Nathan & turn it into Hen-nate (Henry & Nathan). You guys know Kyumi or QMi (Kyuhyun & Zhou Mi), use Kyu's English name, Marcus & what you get? Mar-mi! (Marcus & Zhou Mi). Ok, if KRY, another SJ sub group, considered 4th is composed of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook & Yesung & their English names are Marcus, Nathan & Jerome, what will be the result? Tell me if you know! Recently, i could call Sungmin aka Sweet Pumpkin as Sweet Pumpkin Vincent. Does it sound cute? Or when Heechul cross-dressed as Lady Gaga? Use his English name & it will be Casey Gaga! (Hahaha!!!!!) As i welcome Eunhyuk/Spencer & Sungmin/Vincent to Super Junior-M, you should memorize the 13 SJ English names as soon as you can.

Waiting For The Rain To Come Back

What the? It's sunny yet quite gloomy, the rain hasn't fallen. I know it's already the rainy season but what's going on????? Yes, yes, it's like summer all over again. It's like i remember the long sunny days of the first half of 2010 from January to May where i can't take the summer heat but there was no gloomy days during that time because on the day, the sun shines & the blue skies were at sight. While at night, the moon shines bright, especially on a full moon. Who cannot forget that, right? (We were even wishing that there will be some rain during that time but it ended up only with light rainfalls until no rain at all!) But for me during the long summer of 2010, it was unforgettable, even though i waited for the month of May for the rain to fall down during that time. But when the rain goes back this time around, i will be ready with my rain gear. But if there were unforgettable sunny days, there were also the unforgettable rainy days. Yes, there are also days even the rain falls down, it was quite unforgettable.

The best rainy day ever? June 20, 2011. No classes, went to the mall with the family, just bought a copy of Candy's June 2011 issue & i found some must-buys at National Bookstore, sippin' some Quickly & went to a street somewhere in Kamuning where you can find a bunch of tailoring shops. We even had the chance to buy some bananas & sweet potatoes for a treat. Hmm, i even forgot to brought the lavender-colored umbrella along with me. (Haha, i wish i could!) Anyway, that was the best rainy day ever even though the weather doesn't go along with me sometimes, i could end up being soaked in the rain. But now the rain doesn't come, like when will be the time for the rain to go back? Let's find out.

Arrows & Claws

What happened yesterday is a like time stopped on the day the Archers & the Eagles exchange blows at the hardcourt, but in the end, the Eagles prevailed, if it wasn't for their prized recruit. After a not-so-good start, Kiefer Isaac C. Ravena aka Kiefer Ravena, tagged as 'The Phenom' since his days at Ateneo High, had a rocket-high 24 points for that game. Like an Eagle unleashed his mighty wings, ready to take flight, Kiefer did the unthinkable to help his team take flight. As i would know, what he haven't done on his debut UAAP game as a senior will kick off on the day his team will face off the bitter rivals thru the years. As we all know, the Ateneo-La Salle rivalry is an endless story, thru the years, we don't know who's the team on top. They exchange blows, they collide against each other & the collision continued even if it's not basketball. So, when the day the Blue Eagles & the Green Archers meet, time will stop, every news we have heard or seen is ignored, focusing only on the celebrated rivalry in Philippine sports. But thru the years, the Blue Eagles & the Green Archers could rather collide in the hard-court, but when off-court, they could rather collaborate, be good friends & enjoy the life of helping, standing as one, helping others.

If you could only remember the years where La Salle could even go to Ateneo when ADMU is once located in Ermita before it was moved to it's present location at Katipunan, the La Sallites could rather throw fried chicken or fried eagle as if in the gates of ADMU, as DLSU got their taste of college basketball victory. We were silent in 2006, Ateneo needs to focus on the other 6 UAAP schools, but in the end, Ateneo knows only one rival: La Salle. After getting wounds by the Growling Tigers in 2006, they would rather be aimed by an arrow of a Green Archer. But if the Eagles seek revenge, their sharp talons will be deadly. Maybe i admit that i was not into the latest news, i was a college-basketball-geek-in-training, focusing on the UAAP's bitter rivals, collecting, buying & reading every article about them on the internet, TV & print like magazines & newspapers. Call me a supporter of either the Blue Eagles or the Green Archers, that will be my sweet escape from my troubled past. Like i would rather be aimed by an arrow or getting scratches due to sharp talons.

Come Round 2, it's a decider. The Archers & The Eagles are ready, the fans of both teams? They are also ready.

Back In The Twilight

Must-buys at National Bookstore: Lavender & purple bible, drawing book, cellphone eraser, notebook to be used as a diary when the diary i bought last summer is already full, Dong-A My Metal & Hexaplus Pens, Hana Kimi Chuang Yi Manga, Twilight novel. What, Twilight novel? I admit i was not yet finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer that become a hit movie in the past decade, ok, that will be an addition in my NBS shopping list. I know it's been 2 years since i read the novel, but i only finished 3 chapters, although the movie version of Twilight will be aired on TV by Sunday after the Ateneo-La Salle Saturday game, i could think that it will be just like November 2008 again. So, of all the 4 books Ms. Meyer did following the story of Edward & Bella, i would buy the first book since i need to follow the format between the books & the movie. I could remember the time back 2-3 years ago my little sister read the Twilight novels, following each chapter & trying to watch the 1st 3 movies. So, after i heard about the free TV premiere of the movie adaptation of Twilight, i could tell myself that i should read the Twilight novel before witnessing a New Moon, surpassing an Eclipse & finding out the Breaking Dawn.

Mom said earlier that she will watch the movie until she falls asleep although i know that my little sister & little brother watched the movie once around November 2008. Hmm, i guess my mom wants to be bitten by Edward's good looks. We could even witness a Twilight-like weather right now since it's already the rainy season. Anyway, it was an accidental thought that i should buy the Twilight novel since i only finished 3 chapters. (Like what if i finished it all? It's ok before i save up my moolah for New Moon.) We were like fascinated by the story of vampires & werewolves in the Twilight saga, many books, movies & TV shows related to what i mentioned popped out one after the other. Although we can't see a real vampire or werewolf in reality, we could always think that they fascinated our imaginations that these 2 creatures started to fall in love with a woman who is confused on who she will love the most. Hmm, i know you can't wait to watch Twilight this Sunday on TV, huh? Just wait, Sunday is just around the corner.

The Long Road To The Ateneo-La Salle Weekend

"WHAT THE? The Nike Ateneo 2010 Team Jacket reminds me of Bouken Blue's jacket? Oh my Ateneo! Had i ever wonder why Masashi Mikami's spell is trapped in this jacket even i found out it's 30% off! Ok, i'll buy this along with a white-colored Nike-Ateneo 2010 Team Shirt soon!"

5 days to go before the Blue Eagles square off with the Green Archers, right? Time really flies fast but it's been the kick-off month for UAAP Season 74 & everyone's looking forward to the hottest game in town. I could even admit i could beg either my dad or little sister to buy me the Nike-Ateneo 2010 Ateneo Team Shirt & Team Jacket which i could think i could become Bouken Blue/Shouta Mogami/Masashi Mikami of sorts. Ahahaha, silly me, i could remember what happened last May 1 when i found out that Nike is selling all team gears for Smart Gilas, San Beda, FEU & Ateneo in it's 30% off discounted prices. Now La Salle joins the Nike Team Roster, it looks like La Salle will follow every path Ateneo will go. But if i have both what i mentioned here, i will be a-ok, ready for the rain, cover-ups from former classmates who could caught me anywhere i go, chill-protector from the mall's uber-cold air-cons & of course, Ateneo's games. But guess what, that will be my prized possession if i bought that! (What should i need as of this moment, a haircut? Maybe not for now, i'll just keep my hair long until i need a layered haircut with bangs, Go-On Yellow Style.)

Yesterday was quite ok, i just bought a copy of the July 2011 UAAP/NCAA issue of Chalk magazine with San Beda's Anthony & David Semerad, ADMU's Kiefer Ravena & DLSU's  Arnold Van Opstal on the covers of the double-flip cover issue. For a late night treat, we in the family munched in some Greenwich Hawaiian Overload Pizza which is still hot as i need some Coke Light for a refreshment, we even had some time to buy some what we need at the drugstore like nail colors, acetone, hair spray, tissue & soap. Grocery shopping kicks off at Ateneo-La Salle weekend. (Ok, so my favorite Auntie Misato will buy me a copy of U Magazine's debut issue.) Hmm, what's in my must-buy lists which is turned out to be a new addition? Basketball-shaped balloons like Nico Salva had in the pages of Chalk's UAAP-related article on it's latest issue! Wish i can buy that soon, especially at the church, after mass. (Now that makes me want to attend mass every Sunday!) The question is, how much the balloons are? Never mind, wow, Ateneo-La Salle weekend is surely here in 5 days, everyone ready?

The Lights Are On!

Today, it was a not-so-ordinary day although today is the opening day of UAAP Season 74. So, let me guess, i stumble upon some YT clips related to the past Super Sentai shows you guys watched during the 90's huh? Oh yes, one of them is Hikari Sentai Maskman. When i decided to watch the opening intro, i was like flabbergasted when i watched it because i remember when i was a kid, i could always skip it & proceed to the episode proper. This time around, not anymore. As i knew it, it took me time to know more REALLY about this series. This Super Sentai series is actually a cut above the rest since we say goodbye to Afro 'dos & think wavy hair as we say hello to Anime-inspired hairdos, long straight hairs for cute girls & Asian pop star-inspired hairdos. At least this series has the 5 best protagonists: Takeru the cool yet preppy race car driver, Genta the tough rebel dude, Akira the Bishonen who has a mean kick for Kung Fu & does a Henry Lau by playing the violin, Haruka the dare-devil girl who looks cute on the outside & tough on the inside & Momoko the sweet girl next door who can do Tai Chi. What more can you ask for? You could almost copy their hairdos & fashion statements, right? I know you do.... Maybe some of you does.

I could always remember that when i was a kid, i could watch Maskman every Sunday morning around 10:30am, sometimes, i missed it due to that i was out of the house or watching Power Rangers (Morphin Seasons 2 & 3/Turbo) also on the same mentioned time slot. The opening intro is amazing, using a 'paper-flip' effect to introduced the 5 protagonists like you would flip the pages of your favorite books or magazines. Ok, ok, i admit i love this series, swear. So, watch this intro before someone turns the lights off.

Heart vs. Mind

After getting haunted by what happened around last March & May when my former classmates haunt me this time via Facebook, tagging me on 3 pics related to my past life & trying to convince me to attend the class reunion, a turn-around was rushed in my head, trying to seek revenge against my former teacher at the class reunion! I admit i'm no female assassin nor femme fatale of sorts just to cook up a plan for revenge that could be either right or wrong. My heart says it's time to seek revenge, but my mind says take your time, i know i have a misunderstanding between myself & my former teachers & classmates. But thinking about the plan for revenge doesn't need any fancy hi-tech weapons or super-powers, all i need is to move on with my life, but i need to destroy who destroyed me. Destroy who destroys me, that was the rule. I don't know what's happening, quite like vengeance is ruling in my heart, the pain of the past still lingers in me, all i need is to destroy who destroyed me before i move on with my life, but if i don't need to set up a plan to destroy who destroyed me, it's fine, i guess i'm not ready to show up to them after what happened, i need some breathing space.

More than the 30% off discounted priced Nike-Ateneo 2010 or 2011 Team Shirt & Team Jacket, more than buying boxes of Pocky & Collon, more than buying an ice-cold bottle or can of Pepsi, more than getting the famous Vic Zhou pre-make Maui Villanueva cry hairdo aka the bedhead, more than the Ateneo & La Salle goodies, the dark memories of October 16, 2006 never fades. (Coincidentally last year on the mentioned date, i got the chance to watch the replay of the first ADMU-DLSU game circa UAAP Season 73.) Like a wound that will never fade, the memories of October 16, 2006 took a toll on me, i cry whenever i remember that event. All i could think when it happened during that time is suicide. But i can't do it. After 5 years, i have a better life, but still, those memories never fade. Came class reunion, if seeking for revenge is not the best thing to do even just faking a smile, maybe this is the time for acceptance. But sometimes, desperate times means desperate measures. But the better plan is to not show up on the class reunion instead of showing up, faking a smile & cook up a recipe for revenge. (No fancy weapons included.)

I might not have a bow with arrows or hi-tech weapons or state-of-the-art devices to cook up a plan for revenge, even though i could fake a smile, the pain remains. But if i'm not ready to show up on the class reunion, it's ok with me. But if i was forced, i have no choice, no faking of smiles please, Maui-chii.

Jitters

If Auntie Misato told me to attend a class reunion with my former classmates, should i show up or play a game of hide & seek? I have some doubts that the reunion will go wrong due to that they might tell stories of the October 16, 2006 tragedy, the girl who cried wolf in the classroom died after a Green Archer aimed an arrow on her. But the weird part, vengeance is still intact, after 4-5 years, where in the world am i? Am i still the girl who cried wolf or the girl who found out the truth about her identity as a blue-blooded Blue Eagle fan girl waiting for a Green Archer to come & shoot an arrow on me? All of those 4-5 years of not showing up to my former classmates makes me feel fine, enjoying my new life as a girl who tries to find her real identity. But if my parents, siblings & relatives forced me to attend the class reunion no matter how many times i say no, maybe i would rather to attend than to cry. I remember the time in March 16 of this year where my mom & i go to COLF to pay my little brother's unpaid school bills. I was staring at the window of the cab, headphones on, blasting some K-Pop, J-Pop or C-Pop songs in my MP4 Player while thinking about what to do in case my former classmates could caught me on that day, i have doubts in my mind, but i have the vengeance in my heart. I feel angry, guilty & at the same time, sad. I don't know what to do, i wish it's already UAAP day.

While waiting for the DLSU goodies to come from Auntie Maya after i found out Ace followed the plan B to go to DLSU, i was thinking of how will i show up at the class reunion, should i show up like the girl who cried wolf on October 16, 2006 or like being fresh from the UAAP games, will i have my hair long or tell the hairstylist to cut it short like Kit Taylor from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight? Will i smile or will i frown or wear a fake smile but inside, i just want to cry. Argh, all of that thinking twice makes me confused on what to do when attending a class reunion. More than thinking about crazy thoughts when window-shopping or shopping for Ateneo & La Salle team gears from Adidas & Nike like if Bouken Blue is going to wear the Nike-Ateneo 2010 Edition Team Jacket or thinking that Adam Park aka the cute Green Ranger from Power Rangers Turbo handles the color of the Green Archers well. Gosh, i don't know what to when attending a class reunion. But maybe i need to calm down, don't fake that smile you Little Miss Blue Eagle who has a vengeance plan in mind. Keep that smile real.

Arrows That Don't Bend

It's like what happened last March & May, when i need to go back on my past school life, should i pretend that i still remember what happened last October 16, 2006 or i would just forget it & wear a mask to hide the sadness away? My former COLF Classmates could ask me a bunch of times about attending their class reunion, i was always missing, they don't know where in the world was i as of now. But they don't think i have this so called 'Ateneo vs. La Salle insanity' since the return of the rivals for UAAP Season 70 back in 2007. But after the tragic day of October 16, 2006 where i thought that the girl who cried wolf was killed by a Green Archer, i would ask myself, why should my teacher told me that i have no sense of cooperation at the start of class? That's the time my tears started to burst & cry. But suddenly, i asked myself, am i born unlucky? Will October 16, 2006 be the day i died? Rest in peace, the girl who cried wolf, killed by a Green Archer goes by the name of Simon Atkins. Your Blue Blood that rushes in your veins will give you a sign of rebirth & redemption.

I said to myself that if i would attend the class reunions that will be managed by my former classmates & teachers at COLF, i don't want to show like the girl who cried wolf back 5 years ago. I want to show up as the girl who found out the truth about her real identity, finding out that there are some traces of blue blood rushing in my veins, waiting for a pair of eagle wings to pop on my back, waiting for an archer to face me off. Ateneo mode: All-out Ateneo Team Gear from Nike. La Salle mode: orange-colored Meteor Garden tee & white La Salle Green Archers knit hoodie. (Back up: Adidas-La Salle Maui Villanueva jersey from 2008.) I could always think about my life in the class reunion whenever i listen to Pink's 'Funhouse'. From June 2003-March/April 2006, i used to be the happy-go-lucky girl whose teacher is a close friend of my dad. But from the entire SY 2006-2007, it's chaos, identity crisis & at the same time, thoughts of suicide is rushing in my head after the October 16, 2006 tragic day. I told to myself, i want to be lost in Ateneo or La Salle's hallways. I told to myself, calm down, UAAP Season 70 is just around the corner.

R.I.P. to the girl who cried wolf last October 16, 2006. May your soul be laid to rest after 5 years.

Deal With It!

Progress from last Saturday's Nike-Ateneo 2010 Edtition Team Jacket (& Team Shirt) Reward Deal: Success like a boss, i could follow a deal if i would love to, so, i would be careful or i might be in trouble. I would be thinking about how to beg my mom's sister aka my Auntie for the La Salle goodies including the must-have White La Salle Green Archers Knit Hoodie. Hmm, i'm dealing with my mom's word of mouth about my cousin's roller coaster ride during summer 2011 just to be at DLSU. Summer 2011 for me is quite like a La Salle summer for me since i would be focusing about my cousin's college life in Green Archers Territory. With a lot of college-inspired gear ready to be in my collection, i would give it a shot to save some money, buying it on a store or online. But aside from saving up some moolah just to buy what i need, i would also get started to find some stuff while waiting for the time that my relatives, friends, siblings & parents could give me some of their stuff. (Like the heirloom girl i always love to follow.) The weird part, only time will tell when will i have my long hair back.

Since last year, i told to myself since the start of the year 2010 to deal with my girl identity. I guess i would love to have my vanity kit filled with make up & have my closet filled with outfits, i forgot to add up some tailor-made clothes. What i would do? Lose some weight, wait for my hair to become long, have my nails colored in different colors & have fun being a girl. I was thinking about i would look cute with long hair according to my mom, but my dad's relatives said i look cute with short hair. (Both are layered!) I would always follow some rules related on hygiene & sometimes, rewards, like buying your own toiletries & have it kept in baskets to be organized to stop saying the-so-called 'cursed personalities' so i can have a reward or 2 or more, maybe they would told me to shut up & stop cussing, maybe the so-called 'cursed personalities' had enough due to my Gossip Girl-style of brashing them back even though i'm not an addict of watching showbiz talk shows. (But i can guess some blind items!) But ok, i don't need to force myself to accept deals. I don't want to think twice, i have no choice after all.

The heirloom rule is still intact as of 2007, i would even buy new clothes, i would love to wear vintage accessories, like a cute Victorian-inspired necklace. I take it all from grandma who teaches me the rules of heirloom, i'm dealing with it. Sometimes, there are choices: long hair or short hair, less makeup or no makeup, i can't think twice. But taking a taste of girl heaven, i would try to have a snack like a slice of cake & a cup of Cappuccino. I deal with it, i'm a girl & i have to deal with everything, maybe a reward will await me.

I Just Deal It

To end this so-called cursing i was been in to since last year, my younger sister told me to stop mentioning the name of the person who curses me a lot, the deal reward? Oh, it's just a 2010 edition of the famous Nike-Ateneo Team Jacket, WAIT! Where's the Nike-Ateneo 2010 edition Team Shirt? (Maybe she will buy both the team shirt & the team jacket secretly.) So, i deal with it & i started it last Saturday, progress? Success like a boss! (Now, i can think all of that Ateneo vs. La Salle insanity that i've been since 2007.) Speaking of Ateneo vs. La Salle, i was like flabbergasted whenever my mom talks about her sister/my auntie who i have a cousin studies at DLSU. I was even thinking that maybe this Christmas 2011, i might receive some La Salle goodies like the DLSU Green Archers knit white hoodie that i've seen since last month. I can wear that along with any shirt, even if it's the orange-colored Meteor Garden tee, any of my Ateneo tees or any of the Bench/Jerry Yan shirts circa 2004! (Vic Zhou haircut, Nike-Ateneo & La Salle Team Gears, dad's goodies & new or slightly used Nike kicks from Kai & Ace are optional.) Asian Pop meets UAAP's Bitter Rivals anyone?

Since last weekend, i was in the influx of so many happenings, like the launching of Nokia's dual sim phones which are reasonably priced, perfect for the music-phile & the picture-phile & of course, Ed Westwick for Penshoppe, his billboard in EDSA was like a shining light on a dark yet cozy Saturday night. Hmm, speaking of Penshoppe, god i need to buy some goodies at Penshoppe to avail the free Ed Westwick poster. (Let's see? Um, a shirt or 2 shirts, some accessories, i am Acqua Bella perfumes & some makeup.) & about the affordable Nokia Dual Sim Phones, my mom told me to deal with the Nokia X1-01 Phone instead. Since i'm a music-phile, i can save up songs & listen to it since the battery of the X1-01 is long-lasting! For the back cover? I prefer the blue one since blue has a calming effect, aside from that blue is related to the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Next stop in my list of gadgets is a reasonably-priced pink-colored MSI Wind Laptop & a Sony Cybershot J10 in pink/white. So, i would be dealing with the new things i just explored as of this start of the 2nd half of this year, more than dealing the troubled past of 5 years ago. 

Oh Ed, why was your billboard shine bright among the other billboards i've seen in EDSA thru the years? I would even admit that you ad was the best ad i've seen since the start of the 2nd half of the year. I'm dealing with it.

For now, i just have to deal with the new yet good things that happened to me, but i wish i would tell God if there's a way to get over the troubled past that i got back since October 16, 2006. I would ask God what will i do to be better, not to be called the loser on the day i got doomed? Well, i guess i need to enjoy life after all.

Lei Girl

Among all of my hairdo's that i don the most for my 23 years of existence, i guess the bedhead 'do that makes Vic Zhou famous was my over-all favorite. Even if mom doesn't like it, i guess i found my over-all favorite hairdo. Thinking about that, even the kick-ass boys of Super Sentai, Kamen Rider & of course, the Power Rangers don the famous hairdo ever. Talk about kick-ass bed-headed boys who doesn't bother about their hairdo that makes everyone think they came out of their beds after tossing & turning during their sleeping times. But come to think of it, while waiting for the days, weeks & months of having my hair going long, i really missed the times i looked like Lei, Zai-Zai or Vic, the years before he chopped his crop & making DLSU Green Archer forward Maui Villanueva cry. But getting the look is not a piece of cake, it only takes all of that tossing & turning every sleeping nights, using my little brother's hair wax or blowing it using the electric fan. But never mind, whatever it takes, i look cute in that hairdo. But for now, i'll just afford for the long hair instead. 

Is it ok to wake up from hours of sleep in a bedhead? Sure, at least i'll look cute in that. But getting it could be a hard time. Never mind, all what's worth is to look good & don a new hairdo. Anyway, i'll be sporting my hair long for now, i'll wait for the time to cut it short again. Can't wait to go back as Lei's girl version soon.

Vanity Dad

Looks like i found a surprise from dad last night, no wonder he is using a Clean & Clear face powder. I told to myself that if given the chance, i would think about of getting it. The question is, why is he using a face powder which is oh-so girly? I would think about of using it & buying the classic Clean & Clear products like the facial wash, facial toner, facial moisturizer & oil-blotting wipes, reminds me of the days back in 4th grade where i discovered about my inner girl. But thanks dad, you reminded me of the memories back when i was getting started to know more about myself, knowing how to take care of my skin before the intensity of high school.Yup, i remember those times when i was on the grades of 4-7 where everything is a sneak peek of high school. Where we use ballpens, binder notebooks & exploring new things, math becomes difficult than ever. & during those times, girls are getting started to read fashion & beauty magazines to know more about them before they enter high school. Well, it wasn't until i become an HS Freshman when i was getting started to use makeup like lip balm, lip gloss, face powder & cologne. During my time as an HS Junior, i only depend on 3 cosmetic products: lip balm, lip gloss & face powder.


Let me admit that my dad quite took me on a time machine related to the world of beauty, so dad, if you could only know, you will only give me the container of the Clean & Clear face powder with the face powder cartridge empty. Don't worry, i'll buy a replacement refill. (& he might not know that i will buy also a facial wash, facial toner, facial moisturizer & oil-blotting wipes under the C&C Classic Products range, just to be ready for everything.) Maybe after i stumble upon what i've seen on TV related to the father-daughter relationship, maybe dad should know a lot of things about me as a daughter. The question is, why is my dad's relatives become closer to me? My grandma, aka my dad's mom is close to me, she could rather ask me when will i have a vacation on her house. Whenever the family goes shopping, sometimes i could want to go with dad. (Like if we go to Saizen, if we buy what we need, i could buy 2 different types of lip glosses in pink or caramel shades & some crystal gadget stickers in assorted colors & designs.) It's no joke to be donning in a simple outfit, holding a cute bag on 1 hand & donning a long hair which is not pony-tailed while shopping at the mall with dad. But never mind, i found out for myself some girl lessons.


But what's the point? I was just trying to be a girl who needs to know more about being a girl, after i discovered dad's face powder, i was trying to find the right time to get it or he will give it to me. The question is, when will that happen? Only time will tell, don't worry dad, i will wait.
