Few Of Mom's Jokes

Mom joked earlier when she said, 'Vic Kirk Long' it's like Vic Zhou meets Kirk Long. Or maybe in the hair, Vic's famous bedhead before he cut it short, making Maui Villanueva cry for mercy with Kirk's waves during the pre-season & the first round of the UAAP Games before his older sister creates magic to change Kirk's hairdo & hair color, from celebrity look to army look, from brunette to black to blonde. The hottest Taiwanese pop star from 1 of Taiwan's hottest pop groups meets the American-born Blue Eagle who would surprise the Ateneo gallery with his cool shots & changing hairdos for 5 straight years. Somehow, maybe i would don Vic's bedhead with Kirk's waves. Fine for me, i guess it would be better for me to don that hairdo, maybe it's just after of my mom's cheeky jokes after all. But i guess the next time my mom & i will go to the neighborhood salon for a haircut & a manicure/pedicure treatment, my hair will be cut & styled under the hands of the new hairstylist, turning it from a cursed hairdo to a Taiwanese Pop Star meets American Atenean-inspired hairdo that might smell an Ateneo-La Salle physical brawl for next year's UAAP games. Hua Ze Lei-Adam Park means Ateneo-La Salle after all. A battle of 2 different men representing 2 colors, even if 1 is portrayed by a Taiwanese pop star & 1 is portrayed by an Asian-American Power Rangers Senior Male Mainstay who makes girls go wild before Chris Tiu enters the scene.

Mom could rather pull out a funny but sometimes corny joke at home or when we had a family hangout. Few of the topics that ending up as mom's jokes are related to the Ateneo-La Salle rivalry. She could rather make a joke out of either Maui Villanueva or Nico Salva but sometimes, i don't approve some of her Blue vs. Green jokes because it might hurt either Kirk's crew or Simon's crew. But i don't mind if her jokes if it turns out to be funny like the usual brawls of Blue & Green. But the best is, mom could brag to her relatives that i know more of the UAAP Basketball scene more than my 2 younger siblings. Well, i guess on the day i will have a haircut, i will step out of the neighborhood salon donning a new hairdo, looking like when Vic Zhou decided to get Kirk Long's hairdo, so he won't make Maui Villanueva cry for mercy that he have a lost brother. But hey, i wish i could buy that watermelon or bubble gum-scented hair putty that is been sold at the neighborhood salon. Need that in case of bedhead emergencies like a slick Vic Zhou bedhead but resembling the short bob that makes Jai Reyes shine for Ateneo during the Blue Eagles' road to redemption in 2007. 

Thanks for the joke mom, i'm excited for the haircut soon. 

Anatomy Of A Quite Shopaholic

It was not until 2 days ago, once the date set the darkest day of my dear life, but now, the tables have turned. After i bought the October 2011 issue of Candy magazine & the 2nd issue of the UAAP Magazine, i forgot to find out for myself that i need to buy the 2nd issue of Rebound magazine. (Oh great, i need to buy that one for myself anyway.) The weird part, i was thinking about buying some stuff at NBS, like how i found it 2 days ago. Maybe it's more than just a magazine, it's also a notebook, confused on what notebook to buy & use as a journal, i guess i stick to the usual Orions-PR Operation Overdrive Spiral Notebook which is on a reasonable price & some metallic-colored ballpens which i really need. Like what i told to my little sister 2 days ago, i told her that i save up my moolah when i want to go shopping, but sometimes, i make some ultimate money-earning little jobs at home to help my family & at the same time, i can earn some moolah. But hey, i have so many things to buy, the truth is, i have so little time, but i will wait for the right day so i can get started on shopping for stuff.

That's weird, i will also buy the books that my former ISEP-G classmates at COLF read but i haven't read for a long time? Oh boy, i told my little sister about that 2 days ago, when we were window-shopping for books at NBS. Then, there was the shopping for toiletries & make-up at Watson's when i need to buy more nail colors, like the ones my little sister told me to try, she told me about that during the attack of the 2nd worst typhoon that attacked the Philippines since the past decade. (During the typhoon, nice one.) I was even trying to read my Cosmopolitan September 2011 issue while there was light back then. It's like this, i got started to re-fresh myself after what happened to me 5 years ago during the darkest day of my life. The weird part, i realized for myself that i was only raving for a long, vintage camera necklace, but about the colorful plastic storage containers? My mom told me to find the best one for myself, i prefer the iBox containers, after i bought 1 last June 20. Hmm, after all of that shopping, i need something to eat, but the question is where? Let me decide after all.

Let the shopping fun begins soon.

Look Four-ward On The Bright Side, Never Look Back On The Dark Side

It all began yesterday, even on the darkest day of my life 5 years ago, but it was a far cry. When all of us in the family had a gimik at Greenhills, my mom noticed all of the changes at Greenhills since the first time we walked in that place back in 2003, when i was transferred to COLF during the SY 2003-2004. The fire station changed, most of the stalls jumbled up, changing from 1 area to another, new goodies are sold but still, shopping, dining & having fun is the main key of Greenhills. Mom even told me the times that when we were little kids, we used to have a grocery day at Unimart, i was even planning to remember those times so i decided to make up a plan for that, i missed going to the grocery which is my habit, i remember the times my dad & i go to SM Hypermarket to buy the groceries. Not bad if we had a family grocery spree at Unimart for some hints of nostalgia, laughter, memories & fun moments, reliving the memories like what could mom usually do now, all of us 3 siblings are in our early 20's. Not bad to relieve the memories of our childhood years, sometimes, we need to remember the times where we are in the carefree years.

While on a late dinner at Sbarro, my mom was planning to buy an electric fan for herself. Well, it's been a plan of hers for a long time, so it looks like that will be the go signal for me to buy what i also need after i bought the October 2011 issue of Candy magazine & the 2011 edition of the UAAP Magazine, like buying the long vintage camera necklace that i found at Vida Doria, back issues of my favorite magazines, a blue-colored shawl, a large hair clamp, black-colored foot socks (so i can use my Mary Jane sneakers!) & some Ateneo goodies from Olympic Village, like the 'Bulag' (Blind) & 'Sisiw' (Chick) shirts that my little brother found while he was window-shopping for some Nike 2011 Team Gears for FEU, DLSU & ADMU. But somehow, i also need a makeover to change my look. Haircut to achieve a Vic Zhou-inspired short, thin & layered but girl-friendly bedhead bob, underarm hair removal via waxing but i don't need to scream ouch at the waxing salon. (Ok, this means i need to pray.) & a dental check up to make sure i have the healthiest pearly whites. This is it, this is what the Lei Girl needs. 

But sometimes, i could admit i was fine with short hair, but not any ordinary short hair, it was the short hair that made Vic Zhou a Taiwanese star. 

The Girl Who Cried La Salle

The phrase 'the girl who cried wolf' is so mainstream, right? But somehow, racing to the 4 days where my life will never be the same again from 5 years ago. I could remember the story from the back of my mind. A dark night, a lunar eclipse occurred, a forest where the leaves have fallen, it's fall, heading to winter. There were 2 types of guardians showed up, the archer & the eagle, but the eagle can become a human. Broken arrows & fallen feathers scattered all over the place, there were even blue-colored blood & green-colored blood dripping from the wounds of the 2 guardians. A sign that in the year 2007, La Salle will come back, to get Ateneo. I was the girl who cried La Salle in that forest, during the lunar eclipse, while i could cover my wounds as the blue-colored blood started to drip out of my wounds, flowing out thru my skin, pain started to occur. I started to run away, i won't let the archer aim an arrow on me again as the moon's red color during the eclipse started to return to it's white color. I didn't knew that will be the other story of the October 16, 2006 aftermath. A far cry from what happened on that same day, this time, tapped in to a world where TY Tang is back to get Chris Tiu & where Simon Atkins would want to get Kirk Long.

Blasting on to the present times, where i could think of having a Vic Zhou-inspired girl-friendly short, thin & layered hairdo would be better if i need to stop living to the girl i was during October 16, 2006 to be in the now & try to fixing my dear life, i was just in the stage of getting a rebound for my life. I tried everything to become a better girl, but sometimes, the ghosts of the past could rather haunt me, all the time. I don't cry if i would have a haircut at the salon, i just want to be quiet, while thinking of thoughts like flashbacks of the best events of my dear life. I was even thinking if my short, thin layered hairdo of choice can be either Vic Zhou or Henry Lau in the mind of a hardcore Pepsi drinker, never mind, i just don't want to go back to who i was in the past anyway. I don't consider my long hair on the darkest day of my life as a curse, it was just a prop. If i cut my hair short, thin & layered according to my preferences, i will be a far cry from who i am in the past. I don't cry wolf, i cry La Salle. I don't want to commit suicide, i want to have a haircut, i don't take anti-depressant pills, i take chocolates, i don't drink beer, i drink Pepsi or Gatorade, i am not Vic Zhou, i am quite Nico Salva.

It doesn't depend on that Asian pop-star inspired hairdos that Japanese superheroes & Philippine college basketball players would don like how i want to have a Vic Zhou-inspired girl-friendly bedhead that won't make my mom freak out or on finding out that Gatorade is made by the same beverage company behind Pepsi so it looks like Vic Zhou & Henry Lau will not have a tight competition between Nico Salva, Kirk Long & the Semerad twins or buying a bunch of Angry Birds goodies or even reading a Mandarin reader workbook to be the next Vic Zhou or Justin Chua or Chris Tiu. Sometimes, i would compare who i am in the past to who i am today. If the ghosts of the doomsday of my life dated 5 years ago are ready to haunt me, this is not the time to cry & run away like a scared kid. It's time to face my fears, if only i could hold on to a Toku-weapon toy that i would beg my auntie to buy it for me at Toy Kingdom's Anime section. If i was the girl who cried wolf last October 16, 2006, i will become the girl who cried La Salle in the present. There's no time for me to go back to who i am in the past. It's time for me to move out & face the ghosts of my past to stop bugging me.

The Long & Short Stories Of Hair

Been confused since last Tuesday or Wednesday about confessing to my mom & my little sister about my decision to have a haircut, cutting my hair short, thin & layered instead of the planned long, layered & thin hairdo. I don't know why, but i was quite comfortable with short hair more than long hair, maybe because of those silly daydreams that i wish i had a hairdo like Dianna Agron or a cross between Vic Zhou & Alexandria Everett. But having a short, thin & layered hairdo is like i survived a Sgt. Greg Slaughter's Honorary Ateneans Boot Camp in Ateneo, if i want to live in the now than being trapped in a classroom full of my former classmates & teachers, telling me to accept that i have no sense of cooperation, that will be resulted in endless crying & suicidal tendencies. (During that time, my hair was long back then, crap, i never planned having a haircut during the whole Junior Year HS experience.) But now, the time has come for me to say goodbye to the hairdo my mom would rather have for me & say hello to the hairdo that i've been dreaming to have since the time i found out about Vic Zhou before Nico Salva. Hello to the days of the bedhead for girls.

I just missed on the short, thin & layered hairdo i donned the whole December 2010 after i got a haircut last November 30, right timing for the Christmas season. It was 2 Christmas days in the year 2009 & 2010 where i donned a short, thin & layered hairdo which i would do is to play it with either hair gel or hair clay to achieve the famous Vic Zhou bedhead. Sometimes, i would rather toss & turn while in bed, sleeping to achieve the bedhead. My favorite auntie thinks that i looked more of an Anime character than a loser from October 16, 2006. Let me admit, on October 16, 2006, i was the long-haired loser girl whose teacher confessed to everyone at class that i have no sense of cooperation. But now, in the present year, i will be the short, thin & layered haired girl who dons Vic Zhou's hairdo who is trying to seek revenge against my former classmates & teachers who killed my old self. But my favorite auntie told me not to seek a plan for revenge since they might forgot the day that almost the god of death took me away. If that day comes on having a haircut, i would beg mom to buy me a jar of the watermelon-scented styling putty, just as what i need to achieve a bedhead.

Take a deep breath, let the hairstylist do his/her tricks on cutting my hair short.

After 5 Years, What Happened?

I started to ask myself, did i change a lot for the better? Maybe yes, maybe no, or maybe not enough. The answer is yes but not enough. I would rather wait for October 16 for that to happen, by November, all of us in the family will go to Chinatown. If the memories of 5 years ago will be a far cry from the same day 5 years ago to the same day this year, the main difference will be a quiet rainfall, from June 20, 2011. A quiet rainfall full of granted promises & birthday wishes for my little sister who turns 22. I would even think that my mom would love to grant all of the promises she kept for me, more than just the UAAP Magazine 2011 edition. More than just the latest issue of Candy Magazine, more than just colorful accessories, colorful plastic containers in different types & sizes, more than a bunch of makeup & nail colors to fill my vanity carry-all's, or even more than just a pair of either or both black-colored, closed-toe boots &/or booties which turned out to be it will be my first pair. October 16? Just a day of gimicks to celebrate my little sister's 22nd birthday. November? A day in Manila Chinatown, talk about a day in a place that we in the family would love to explore.

My little sister told me that if i want to learn Mandarin, i would rather reach for her New Practical Chinese Reader workbook & read every single page to learn more Mandarin. I could even think that October 16, 2011 will never be like October 16, 2006. No more heavy rain falls like there was just a typhoon passed by. It will be just a light rainfall even if the skies are dark, just some white skies with traces of gray skies. Oh great, this means i need to use my lavender-colored umbrella. Just because what i did last June 20 was kinda awkward because i didn't brought an umbrella along! But never mind, i would rather look forward for that weekend to come, then i will look forward for November for that Chinatown gimick as what my mom planned. There were questions that rushed into my head if i stopped living the way i am during the darkest day of my life & decided to live the way i am now. Maybe the truth is, it's a far cry. Me right now is a far cry from who i am in the darkest day of my life dated 5 years ago. If only i could compare my old self to that day to myself now with a shorter hairdo that Dianna Agron donned now. (Ok, the truth is i haven't watch I Am Number Four lately.) 

Ok, so maybe i'm still confused with the short hairdo i want to don lately. But what about donning Dianna Agron's short hairdo that she donned lately? Bright thinking. That might be the girly bedhead bob that i've been looking for as of this moment. But somehow, if could rather compare who i am in the past to who i am lately. It's a far cry after all. 

Hair-Cut!

After all of the talking about what should i do to shed out my old image from the girl i was last October 16, 2006, my mom just accepted my plan to get a haircut soon. So this means, i would rather have my hair cut short, thin & layered more than having a long hair which means i don a long hairdo during the darkest day of my life. Although this is quite unthinkable for a girl like me to do this move, i guess i have no choice after all. But it looks like i have fun more with a short, thin & layered bedhead bob than a long hair, huh? I guess i had fun being a girl who dons Vic Zhou's famous bedhead bob more than having long hair. But i quite missed the times i donned a long, thin & layered hairdo back during Freshman Year HS. The truth is, my hair grows slowly. So, i guess i have no choice but to have my hair cut under the barber's shears again, under the skilled hands of a hairstylist, cutting my hair every second to achieve the hairdo i want to have. For Vic Zhou's famous bedhead, it will take minutes to achieve the hairdo. I don't close my eyes to see how the hairstylist cut my hair, i could see how he does his work. Spray, clip, cut, every section of my hair from top to bottom, then afterwards, blow-dry & style. Ok, so this means 1 thing to keep my hairdo from getting messed up, but the styling putty. I could always have that in case of hair emergencies in case of a former classmate attack. Thanks mom for accepting my decision to have a haircut, i know you would love me to don Vic's famous bedhead more than looking at me like i was like the girl i was last 10/16/06.

Yesterday, i asked myself, 10 days after the 5th death anniversary of my old self aka the darkest day of my life that began 5 years ago, did i do everything to shed out my old self? Was it enough? If it's enough or not, why do i always have flashbacks of what happened during that day? Sometimes, i could rather cry because of what happened, it's so emotional, so painful, that was the wounds that could take a long time to heal or it will never be healed for good. I could bring those wounds for the rest of my life, until the day i die. At the start of the new decade, i did a lot of things to shed out my old self. But i guess it's not enough, even those nights i could tell my mom about what happened on that day could rather ask me if all of the things i did to shed out my old self is enough to keep me away from the troubles of the day i considered the day my old self died by a teacher who back-stabbed me at the front of everyone inside a classroom. But maybe on the day i would step inside a salon for a haircut, i would sit on a chair & let the hairstylist do what he usually does, making everyone don a new hairdo. That will be the right time for my old self to be gone, sounds of the shears, cutting every section of my hair from top to bottom is like it was the sign for me to search for my missing pieces of my puzzled life. After minutes of all of that spraying, dividing each section of my hair with big hair clips, cutting each section with a pair of barber's shears to make it stylish & blow-drying to finish the results plus some finishing details. I just saw my new self in front of the mirror.

The person who could witness all of my desperate moves to find my missing self is my mom, she could rather reject my plan of having a haircut, but what happened last night was a turn-around, i guess she could tell me to do my thing & she will tell me that it's never too late to find myself after all. She doesn't care if i could cry a lot due to my troubled life in the day i encountered the darkest day of my life. Maybe all what my mom wants to do is to continue the soul searching to find the missing links of myself. Ok mom, if i got a haircut, please buy me a styling putty which it was used on my hair last year, huh? I could always want to achieve a Vic Zhou-like hairdo. The questions is, when will be the day i will have a haircut?

First Pair Of Boots

I was thinking about right now about buying or receiving a pair of closed-toe booties & knee-length closed-toe boots. Nah, it's not because i was watching too much Sailormoon clips on YT since December of last year or what-so-ever thoughts girls thought about buying a new pair of shoes. But it would be interesting for me to buy or receive my first pair of boots &/or booties. (Color may vary, but i prefer black & brown, for the better!) I could prefer having a stylish pair of booties which are closed toe, slightly wrinkled in the middle & round toe. (Like the one that Haruka/Amara Tenoh wore when she's Sailor Uranus) But for my taste of knee-length boots, it should be lace-up like those army boots, closed toe, round toe & the heel is not really high so i won't trip. (Probably like the one that Hotaru Tomoe wore when she's Sailor Saturn, short, thin, layered bob is optional) The question is, where can i find the reasonably-priced pair of booties & boots? That will be the start of the soul-searching to find my best pair of boots & booties. Maybe i would begin that by this month. Maybe mom found me the perfect pair that i need. Maybe i was thinking about that since i need to have more pairs of different kinds of shoes in my wardrobe right now.

Aside from my first pair of boots &/or booties, i was looking forward too to have my first pair of Chuck Taylors or stylish pair of canvas sneakers to inject an school kid-like feel. The big reason why i want to have my first pair or pairs of boots &/or booties is that sometimes, i feel lazy on wearing the perfect pair of kicks whenever we in the family goes out for a day at the mall, going out for the night whenever my parents told me to join along with them or whenever we in the family could visit our relatives for special family-related events. Maybe if mom found me the best pair of either or both boots &/or booties, it will be included in the list of her promises for me. This means 1 thing for me, i could begin to ditch my old self, the old self from wearing sneakers, now, i was beginning to find several pairs of different girly-inspired shoes. (Now i need more pairs of flats, pumps, boots & booties) Maybe like the ones i found due to watching a dozen of Sailormoon clips on YT. But i guess i really need right now is my first-ever pair of booties &/or boots. But i guess for a cheap thrill, more pairs of flip-flops! Ok, now i need to buy more pairs of girly-inspired shoes to match my outfits.

As If I Don't Remember Who I Am During SY 2006-2007

It all happened last March 16, 2011, my mom & i decided to drop by at COLF to pay my little brother's unpaid school fees so he can graduate, it was a day before my birthday & i feel quite nervous heading to my former school. But as i walk on the concrete road on my former school, like it was an ordinary day like i used to do when i was still schooling at COLF. Suddenly, the cashier at the school registrar could ask me about if i still remember my former classmates, mentioning names of my former classmates. I said i don't remember all of them, i said 'Ateneo brainwashed me.' It's just because i don't want to find out for myself that the ghosts of my past life in COLF haunt me, even if i'm in my Adidas or Nike-Ateneo Team Gears. But i guess if my former COLF classmates could haunt me, i don't know what to, should i cry? Or should i face it? That was the question with still the answer haven't found. It's not like if i could beg my auntie a bunch of times about the DVD's that i want to watch, especially Boukenger. She could rather slap the Boukenger DVD on my face, telling me not to attend a class reunion & waste my time watching Boukenger. The best punchline ever? She could say, "Count how many time Mitsuomi Takahashi does a worried look all over this series & think that's you."

Mom could love to keep promises on me just to be happy, she was trying to shed out the old image i brought to who i was since October 16, 2006. Trying to get a new hairdo, wearing girly shoes like i'm recently want to have my first pair of closed-toe booties to buying several magazines of several interests. But i feel to myself that the ghosts of my past student life could haunt me, telling me to attend some class reunions to show up at COLF at the school's new location. Do you think i should do that? Yes or no. But i would only go to COLF if my parents are up to pay my unpaid school fees. It's not just about this is the right time for me to go back to my student life in a new turn, but it's also the right time to face the fears of the past. Should i press the panic button? Maybe i should. But after all of that tension, it's time to take a deep breath. Life for me right now is like the several rainy days of this year, like the rainy day of June 20, 2011. Yup, life for me as of the moment is like the rainy day of 1 day i just could not forget. But the truth is, no material thing can cover up the darkest day of my life back 5 years ago. The thing that can cover that up, is just a smile.

Revealed Promises

Surprise, surprise! The promises mom kept for me are revealed! But not all promises, some are top secret, while some are just too common, everybody in the family knows it. So maybe this weekend, mom might buy me 1 of the few too-common promises, which is the UAAP Magazine 2011 edition. But maybe what's new in the promise list, a Cover Girl Wetslicks Lipgloss? Oh, she said she will just buy it for me instead. (Still, it's Shade #415/Crush) Now, it's more than 5, it's 6, if should it heads to 10, it should be all below P1000. (It's called 10 promises below P1000) So, maybe i should watch out for my mom keeping promises for me. You guys want to know why my mom's been doing this for me? Maybe i was just trying to escape the trouble of my life back in the day of October 16, 2006. Maybe there's a reason why mom does this, it's not just because i want to be happy again after a traumatic incident back in the past which happened 5 years ago, it's just because she could love to see me smile like nothing happened 5 years ago, like the darkest day of my life didn't happen at all.

Sometimes, i could think that i bought selected flavors of Eng Bee Tin Hopia (Ube, Mongo, Ube-Cheese, Ube-Pastillias, Choco Peanut & Mocha-Ccino) & a can or bottle of Pepsi as a snack. Mom is planning to have a family tour to Chinatown in Binondo for the 5 of us in the family. I was thinking of that since i was getting started to learn Mandarin, learning how to use chopsticks & a small ladle-like spoon which the Chinese use on soups when eating like when i could urge myself on having a hot bowl of Paotsin Laksa & begging my mom to get a haircut that i deserved to have, Vic Zhou meets Alexandria Everett. Wearing my orange-colored Meteor Garden tee, first pair of jeans given to me by my mom & a pair of comfy kicks like a nice pair of sneakers. (White Knit DLSU Green Archers Jacket optional, got to beg my cousin & auntie for that!) I know it's a few days away from the 5th year anniversary of the death of my old self. If my hair is already long, thin & layered, maybe i should learn on how to use a pair of hair chopsticks. Mom had more promises to me, if she could grant all of it, i don't have to blame myself what happened to me in the past. Instead, i could just smile it off instead.

The truth is, i don't want to accept what i did on the darkest day of my life 5 years ago, i wish i could think that didn't happen. But when the ghosts of the darkest day of my life back 5 years ago are back to haunt me, should i run away & cry or just show up like i entered on a big-time makeover session of my life.  

List Of Promises

So dad finally kept his promises & he granted it when he bought a new pair of earphones & a TV remote from CD-R King yesterday, now, it's my mom & *gulp* my little sister's turn to keep their promises, making it real. My mom has a lot of promises for me, even on the week racing to Ateneo's historical 4-peat in the UAAP. But among of all the promises that mom kept for me, the 2nd cheap promises aside from the nail colors which is quite below P50 that is reasonable, having a carry all that my mom bought from Landmark-Makati for my nail colors & tools filled. The 2nd cheapest promise? Oh yes, the UAAP Magazine, now on it's 2nd year, it's giving honor to the best student-athletes of the UAAP. Most of the promises that mom kept for me are in the type of the cheap thrill finds that mostly found on department stores & boutiques in malls! If i could only remember what i did from June to September of this year on most days i go to the mall with my family, i could buy mostly on my important needs before the optional ones. (I window shop for the optional ones so i can save up some moolah to buy that soon.) Come this month of October, here i go again.

3 more issues of Candy magazine to go for this year & it's finally complete. This will be the first time i completed a year of 11 issues for Candy magazine. So that's why i'm always saving up my P100 to buy 1 issue, it's now a habit after all. I could admit that the expensive promise i would know is from my little sister, a Nike-Ateneo 2010 or 2011 Team Gear (Shirt & Jacket). Oh great, what a piggy bank-breaker after all. But the cheap promises belong to my mom after all. Yup, i mentioned it here a lot, so i don't need to say it all over again. Never mind, i knew it all. I could even mind that i would love to receive a Pocky & Pretz all-occasion gift boxes & a 1.5 bottle of Gatorade Blue Bolt of Tropical Fruit, like the frenzy of Freshman Year, Sophomore Year & Junior Year in High School, trying out Asian snacks. It looks like now, i'm going to do it before i prep myself up, counting the days that my freedom draws to an end as i go to Senior Year HS. (Pepsi is a good option after all, finding out that Pepsi & Gatorade are both created by Pepsi Cola Co. So, it looks like Vic Zhou & Nico Salva are under 1 beverage company, right? Right.)

Somehow, i would love to see my little sister & my mom keep their promises & making it real, right? Yup, i would love too. 

Mom's Many Promises

On the day Ateneo won their 4th straight championship, giving them another mark in the UAAP's History Books, my mom gave me a pair of bedroom slippers, she told me that i should not use that whenever we go out in the family. But the truth is, that might be the sign for mom that she will grant all of the promises she kept for me. Like she could buy me a long, vintage camera necklace from Vida Doria, colorful iBox plastic storage container & a 2011 issue of the UAAP Magazine. (The thing is, if she bought all of it in 1 day, i would pull out a smile in my face.) Mom even promised that she will buy me a Lipice Sheer Color Lip Balm. If she could bought all of what she promised for me, i would love to create a real smile on my face. Maybe the next time we go malling with my family, maybe i should ditch the ponytail & go with the cute pigtails. (Time to try a new hairdo after all, it's just because i haven't go with the pigtails for a very long time.) But hey, i guess if mom can't do it in 1 day, she might grant all of the promises she kept for me, before this year ends. I hope mom will keep all of her promises to me, no matter what.

I would rather think that if June 20, 2011 will be repeated now it's another rainy season, but the rule is more than just the latest issue of Candy magazine & a colorful plastic storage container, many add-on's to watch out for, so little time. I could rather think that i would love to enjoy a quiet rainy day by going to the malls with my family! Now another college basketball season draws to an end, i could go back to basics like going to the malls with my family, shopping for what i need. Just because Christmas is just around the corner, my mom & i would get started on decorating, pulling out the Christmas Decors from the antique storage box. I might look forward for a customized, more-than-the-traditional Christmas Tree that mom & dad are planning to create since i haven't seen a Christmas Tree quite for a long time since in my teen years. I would get started on being organized, while i would wait for the right time to get a haircut, targeting a long, thin & layered hairdo. But for now, i hope my mom could keep all of the promises she told to me & making it for real before this year ends.
