Bargain Hunter

 

"I call that a shopping spree, i broke my rule of buying up to 10 items on 1 shopping day, more than 10 could be better anyway."

Yesterday, the long wait was over for me, i just bought the Spring 2012 issue of Sparkling & Popped Too, now, all i need to buy next is the May 2012 issue of Candy for the 3rd of 4 charms for it's 13th Anniversary Limited Edition Charm Bracelet & a Watson's Retractable Blush Brush. Come to think of it, while i was buying a new pair of flats from Celine to be used on special events or on days where being a shopaholic runs into my blood, but maybe i just found my perfect pair of stylish boots where i could use when i go out. The crazy part, it's about myself prepping up just in time for the rainy season after the overnight beach outing & dad's birthday. The last 2 weeks of May will end up in rainy days like it's been 2010 all over again. The only thing i could wait as of this moment is for my favorite auntie & her BFF to buy & complete all 8 SS DVD's from the 2004-2011 SS Teams. (Hey, where's the Magnum Ice Cream?) While i could think that the scenarios of Summer 2009 & Summer 2010 could roll out again on Summer 2012, then the moments of June 2010 would roll out again on June 2012, please. But get this, all of us in the family decided to celebrate my dad's birthday on a Friday, at the Metro, at the start of the weekend, again on Pho Hoa for a Vietnamese feast, while waiting for my usual order of a Rice Bowl Dish of a bowl of hot rice & sauteed chicken, vegetables & mushrooms plus a glass of Pepsi, i got started to tick down what i just bought in my shopping list. It was ok for me since i could be quiet. Anyway, i just thought of how will i end up not being drunk on that time, would end up drinking Pepsi better than any alcoholic drinks. Would end up wearing sunnies on a sunny-rainy day like i end up being a Go-Buster, what to do for next month? Check-up, vaccination, overnight beach outing, dad's birthday, mid-year clearance sale at the mall, new episodes of Akibaranger & Go-Busters, hopefully, new portable gadgets like a new cellphone & a new MP3/MP4 Player. But hey, let's get back to the so-called the business of a shopaholic when it comes on sales.

  

"Check this out auntie, i'm getting started to buy this uber-cute Gokaiger Candy Toy! Next stop, Go-Busters! Anyway, i'm watching it on the net now."

Nande? What was i thinking after buying what's listed down in my shopping lists? A black-colored plastic storage container from last January 14? Not bad, that could be an important must-have since my mom reminded me a bunch of times of cleaning up my mess at the bedroom. It's not really a pain in the head, but it's more of an important reminder for me. Like i could think of buying those Gokaiger Capsule & Candy Toys first at Toy Kingdom inside SM Megamall when my favorite auntie & i went there aside from attending an Anime con to be held at the Megatrade Halls. (If the Go-Busters Candy & Capsule Toys are available, then i could buy that too!) Ok, so why did i thought about that a black-colored plastic storage container from January 14 will be the ultimate bargain thrill of mine, not a bag, not a pair of shoes, not even gadgets? Don't ask me if i'm still haunted by my mom's reminders of cleaning up my mess at the bedroom which is been there for 4 straight years. But the year 2010 is where the mess just got in the worst case scenario stage. Anyway, the mess will never be avoided i suppose, like i could always think to myself that i wish i could bring a bunch of eco-friendly shopping bags if that could be fitted all in my bag. I know i could be quite of a shopaholic, buying different items. As of this moment, i was thinking about buying a Bench/ One Earth shirt since Super Junior's Donghae & Siwon are their newest endorsers now. Not bad, it will surely be a good addition to my shirt collection anyway. I know i might end up bring a bunch of shopping bags containing the stuff i just bought according to my shopping list as i end up buying my ultimate bargain must-buy. The destination, home decors & plastic ware. Ok, this means 1 thing, i'm going to buy the ultimate bargain thrill: a black-colored plastic storage container like it's been the 2nd to the last clearance sale at SM back last mid-January. Like i would end up cleaning up my own mess & saving some of my moolah up to buy everything that i need aside from the missing links in my makeup kit. (Face Powder, Concealer, Eye Liner Pencil, Brow Liner Pencil & Mascara, might end up buying more than a lot of makeup!) But somehow, i know that my mom knows i want to look cute. 

Mid-Year Clearance Sale

"Mid-year clearance sale now the rainy days are here? I smell that i need to buy what's according to my shopping list!"

It's the middle of the year & this means one thing, another clearance sale? Yup, talk about the mid-year clearance sale. I started to create my May shopping checklist on an index card i found last Thursday night & this means i need to buy some of the stuff listed down during the month of May or even some for the rest of the whole year. If i bought any what's in it, time to check that up, that means i just bought it already. The must-buys of the moment: Candy May 2012 issue (for the 3rd of 4 Candy 13th Anniversary Limited Edition Charm Bracelet Charms), Sparkling Spring 2012 issue, Popped Too, Watson's Retractable Blush Brush, Axe Anarchy For Her & many more. If you're going to ask me what will be my ultimate must-buy that could make my wallet to unload like i want to buy some Gokaiger toys which that will be a new addition to my Toku toys collection, then it might be about my 1st pair of classy boots &/or the unthinkable.....The black-colored plastic storage container from January 14. Oh well, it might be an important must-buy if there could be that in different sizes, like i could fit that under the bed so the bedroom can be organized. Like i could remember my mom's organizing lessons as she always told me to clean up the room since i was the one who created all of the mess due to my stuff inside the bedroom. Anyway, i might break the 10 bought items limit because more than 10 could be great, like buying everything we need from the grocery. But for me, i should buy what's according to my shopping list, i decided to list down what i want to buy in a steno notebook so i can reduce my habit of being an impulsive shopper, that was 1 of a few lessons i learned from the world of simple accounting aside from opening a savings account which the starting cash-in price is P50, interesting. (Like it's better to cash-out sometimes, but don't forget to cash-in always!) Come to think of it, reducing my frenzy shopaholic habits could save me a lot of moolah after all. Like i could try to save up a lot of moolah to buy everything i need. Time to reduce my habits of buying too much nonsense items & get started to list down what i want to buy! 

"After all of that shopping, what should i eat? What the, Chunky Tuna Plato Wraps? Ok, mom, can you tell little brother to buy me an ice-cold 500ml bottle of Pepsi for me?"

After that shopping for stuff, i could hear my stomach started to grumble, that means i'm hungry. I remember i could think of that dreamy yet yummy double Salmon lunch or dinner treat of Salmon Sashimi & Salmon Teriyaki with bottomless iced tea from Chic-Boy. Or even that super-yummy lunch or dinner treat of Mr. Kimbap's Bibimpap in Chicken which it could give me the treat with a red-colored Yard Cup full of Coke Zero or Sprite or Iced Tea. Dad & i would love to eat Bibimbap, even if it's spicy & i might end up crying due to that it was hot. For snacks, there are some food stalls scattered around the mall, might end up eating on Chunky Tuna Plato Wraps & a 500ml bottle of Pepsi for a light snack thrill like it's January 8. I could think that some snacks from Mister Donut could also be a must-snack thrill. Just because i remember last January 14, i munched in a King-Sized Strawberry Rainbow Sprinkles Donut with a large cup of Royal & i finished it in an instant even i got my monthly red-letter 4-day treatment for the girls. Somehow, i would just have an interesting snack so i can be full after i ate a lot so i can get started again on shopping. Didn't care if my lipstick or lip gloss-slicked lips will be ruined due to that i ate a lot of snacks, i could try to wipe it off & go to the ladies room to apply that again. Somehow, i could think that i'm more now on protecting my lips since i hate chapped lips. Summer is the time where lips becoming too chappy, come the rainy days, it will be wet, good thing i have the lip balm ready! The weird part, when it comes on eating, i could end up finding my ice cream cravings. Ice cream sales this summer can be on a high due to the hot summer season. While i could wait for the plans i just planned this month to roll out for next month, then everything will be fine. Come the rainy days, i could wear my white knit beanie & orange-khaki knitted scarf as i enjoy the rainy days like it's been the snowy season of the ber-months. But the crazy part, there's no snow here, it's always sunny & rainy of course. But i know mom could want me to be A-Ok on the rainy days.

Stupid Lie, Painful Truth

"If you found out for yourself that the stupidest lie you did that your mom have kids in her past relationship before she even met your dad will become for real, prepare for the unexpected. If everything goes good, then be the good elder sibling. But if not, try to think i'm just Shinken Red dressed up as a girl, pretending to be your mother! So chin up & smile, i cannot be your mom but i can be just like your favorite auntie who could always buy you cheer-uppers."

3-4 years ago, i created the stupidest lie i ever made against my own mother, like what if she had kids in her past relationships before she met my dad? Uh-oh, i could prepare myself for a drama overload kinda like The Hospital meets City Hunter meets KR Kabuto as i wish i had Hiro Mizushima's Henshin device, the Kabuto Zecter. I always think that the reason why my mom & i got into arguments, misunderstandings & bitch-fights is just because mom loves her 'love child' more than me, being the first born. If you want to know who is the love child i was talking about, i won't give the name, but i'll give you clues for your curiosity, even though this is just a stupid lie. Clue: he's a local male celeb who is a product of a local-based reality talent search on TV. He once had a K-Pop girlfriend but i guess he admits he hates K-Pop & it was a regret for him to love her. He got involved on a car accident last August that could turn me into Kadoya Tsukasa/KR Decade/Masahiro Inoue, saying these 3 words: Not My Fault. Was it my fault that local male celeb got into a car accident because of me? Uh, please, i know i hated him, but definitely it's not my fault, i wish he was dead instead so i can take a deep breath & watch those Ateneo-La Salle games live. Sometimes, i found out for myself that this stupid lie could end up be a shocker. But where did it all started? Maybe on those arguments, misunderstandings & the never-ending bitch-fights between me & my mom, even she's now sick. I even think that i wish that the stupid lie i did won't be true, but if this becomes true, i could sent a bunch of text messages to my favorite auntie that she must buy me a big bottle of sleeping pills instead of the 8 Super Sentai DVD's from the 2004-2011 teams & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream, if you think i'm trying to commit suicide then maybe not, i'm just troubled. (Maybe taking too much sleeping pills can be suicidal) Sorry, maybe this is not a rant post, but this is a post of what's been on my mind when i end up being pissed out, being a douche-bag girl. Right now, my head is been aching because of all of that crying. Maybe the big disadvantage of being a crybaby, talk about headaches! Ouch! But never mind, only i could end up drinking a large bottle of Pepsi while i could pop in an anti-depressant pill after i ate a yummy meal. Never mind, talk about if only my favorite auntie & i would go shopping, i could try to escape the problems i entered as of August 2008.

"My mom really had a love child & she loves it more than i am! I want to die now, favorite auntie! Huhuhu!!!! Waaah!!!!!"

"I know that hurts, but don't worry, i might not be like your mom & I MIGHT NOT BE YOUR REAL MOM but i can be better than her. So cheer up & take a deep breath. You cried a lot & you might end up having a headache. Here, get drunk in Yakult & eat some snacks so you won't end up being a cry-baby."

Trying to think if my favorite auntie is my REAL mom, then it would be fine, the mystery of the picture on her dresser of my favorite auntie & i when i was a little girl still remains there. It looks like my favorite auntie still loves me, as a niece, but what if as a daughter? It's like a game of pretending when the stupid lie will become a shocking truth. But a stupid lie will be just a stupid lie. Only a day when my favorite auntie & i, going to SM Megamall for the coolest Anime cons will be my escape from the problems i encounter due to my mom. I almost lost some breathing space, my favorite auntie could tell me to cheer up & show me that she & her BFF bought all 8 Super Sentai DVD's from the 2004-2011 teams & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream. She could tell me, 'Cheer up, tell me the next Anime con to be held at SM Megamall & we will be there.' Talk about cheering up in a time of 6 years since i got pissed out in class when i was in Junior Year HS. Anyway, before anything else, i wish i can fix this, my mom need care now. Stupidity should end soon.

May's Rainy Days

Summer might draw to an end as the rainy days are near, this means it's time for me to buy a perfect pair of boots or booties so i can enjoy the rainy days in style aside from wearing that khaki-colored jacket, putting on my green-colored military hat & unfolding a lavender-colored umbrella when the rain falls down. I just thought about the perfect shopping spree that i planned since this week. Like i need to buy the May 2012 issue of Candy (for the 3rd of 4 Candy Charm Bracelet Charms), Sparkling Spring 2012 issue, Popped Too & a blush brush that i found on Watson's last night that's worth P70, worth it! Looking chic has never been this exciting on a rainy day to be exact, even if all of us in the family go to the mall & shop for what we need or my favorite auntie & i went to SM Megamall to attend the hottest Anime cons at the Megatrade Hall. Also during last night, after a hearty dinner at Pho Hoa, my favorite will always be a Sauteed Chicken, Vegetables & Mushrooms Rice Meal & a glass of Pepsi, i thought about what will be the perfect portable gadgets that i should have, i was thinking about having an uber-cool cellphone (like a SEZ750i, Alcatel OT810D in Victorian Blush or Samsung Galaxy Y in White or Pink) & an 1-2GB MP3/MP4 Player (Creative Zen Stone in Pink or Red or Samsung YP-U3 1GB MP3 Player in Blue or Pink) Talk about being chic aside from being a gadget geek. The crazy part, i could think of myself that i would end up being quiet, trying not to join in a serious conversation my parents & little siblings are up to, like i should step out of the conversation because i might end up in the middle of nowhere. But good thing i would try to be a shopaholic, in a chic way while i'm confused what's the meaning of the word 'Douchebag'. (I only know the meaning of douchebag is acting more a conyo kid) Sometimes, i consider myself a douchebag or D-Bag for short. Never mind, but i'm more of a good d-bag girl. (Don't mind me if i want my hair layered or curly when it's short, thin & layered) I could think that there's a reason why i've been like this for 5 years, but i developed a better image of myself in 2010, it's just because i'm trying to find my real identity, a far cry from the girl who cried wolf in the past. Even if i found out the dark secret about my mom, i'll always be that good d-bag girl who would rather not be on the time a fallen star decided to say goodbye & instead, i was rushed to the hospital because i was aimed by an arrow from an Ateneo-La Salle game. I feel like i end up being a pin-cushion because of the arrows aimed all over me like needles during an acupuncture treatment.

"Look, with these arrows aimed all over me, i feel like i end up being a pin-cushion! Would this happen to me if i FINALLY had my anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot?"

Pin-cushion, the thought of the moment when i end up being aimed by arrows on an Ateneo-La Salle game could be the thing i was thinking about when i end up being dead meat. Blood coming out as the doctors try to remove the arrows aimed on me while i was lying on the hospital bed, my eyes are almost closed-open & i was at the trauma department on the hospital after the Ateneo-La Salle game just ended up being a Battle Royale-like moment. But in reality, it's just like i'll get injected. The check-up & anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot is just what i need as what my mom told me so to check-up my health if i would end up getting a not-so-serious health situation, i know i never get any serious injury for 24 straight years, no broken bones, no stitched wounds, just an upset stomach & nasty cuts & bruises like i end up in a brawl gone wrong. (Just like it's been the Gokaiger finale all over again) The result, i end up looking like a bruised-up Ryota Ozawa. 

"Tell me when did you got that nasty cuts & bruises, my favorite niece?"

"Uh, i entered an Ateneo-La Salle brawl, i was aimed by so many arrows, do i look like Ryota Ozawa from the Gokaiger finale?"

"You got it, but good thing your injuries are not serious."

Yes, i never get injured for 24 straight years of my existence, only got nasty cuts, nasty bruises, upset stomachs & bad hair days where i wish my hair is always short, thin & layered & if ever, a hair color will surely work so i end up looking like a super-hero. Bad hair days will never be avoided just because that's the result of the bitch-fights mom & i entered days before i end up myself at the salon, getting cut under the skilled hands of the hair stylist, cutting my hair on the hairstyle i deserved to don. (Oh i wish these white hair strands which is been bothering me since the past years will be removed so i can get a hair color) If that happens, that will be the end of a long-time bitch-fights my mom & i go because of hair styles. But now as the rainy days comes near now the month of May is just around the corner, my hair grows slow, as in super-slow. I wish i could don a short, thin & layered hair forever, i know i can't don a long, thin & layered hairdo like i would end up donning that in dreams, day dreams & whenever i draw something, adding up some color can be interesting. I don't care if i found out the dark secret about my mom & all i want to do is to have fun with my life. Don't care if my mom have other 'kids' that we 3 siblings didn't know, but i knew it since 2009, a lie could end up being true sometimes, that hurts, i know. I could end up being a cry-baby, reaching for the pair of scissors & cutting my hair short until i end up looking more of Vic Zhou than Ryota Ozawa & the worse, trying to get an overdose of sleeping pills until i die. Would that be shocking, i don't want that to happen since my favorite auntie to calm down, i was such a cry baby in a bedhead. I guess my mom knew it, like the rain in the month of May. 

Midnight Breakfast

"What the? A 2-pc Hotcakes & an 8oz Premium Roast Coffee from McDonald's only worth P50? Cool! Good thing we still have the sugar & the creamer!"

12 midnight of April 25, which is today, my mom's birthday, i stumble upon a fold of newspapers from last Sunday which mom & dad got it for free when they had a breakfast in McDonald's. Last Sunday? I only got a hash brown, i thought i'll have that 3-pc hotcakes-sausage patty-hash brown-12oz cappuccino breakfast meal from McDonald's like a few weeks ago. (That was an epic breakfast, first time to try the strawberry preserves, put that on the hotcakes with butter & it's so delicious!) Somehow, i miss that breakfast moment, so epic. But also during that time, i could even wish for myself that i'll have those uber-cool Avengers freebies since The Avengers will be the hottest summer movie ever. Tumblers, toys, i just want to have some Avengers-related freebies! It's like i thought of having those so-called must-buys for the month of May, a copy of Candy's May 2012 issue, that includes the 3rd of 4 Candy Charm Bracelet Charms, Popped Too, Sparkling Spring 2012 issue, Kabuki Brush & hopefully, a new MP3/MP4 Player which is worth P1500-P2000 & below! (1GB-2GB is just what i need, Micro SD Card Slot Optional) Just before the sun gives way to the rain in the month of May, where i could pull out my hooded jacket & lavender-colored folding umbrella when the rain falls, it will be interesting. Like i could try to buy my 1st pair of classy boots or booties, black or brown i color i suppose since seeing the girls of Super Sentai wearing boots or booties from the start of the new millennium. But somehow, i'm trying to pull out a better style that could say goodbye summer & hello to the rainy days in a Kawaii girl way. The interesting part, i could think that buying those must-buy essentials for the month of May could be interesting before i could prep up for that Anime con my favorite auntie & i will attend at SM Megamall. But good thing for now, i could wear that green-colored military cap that i put in to my bag in case of hot sunny days or cold rainy days when i found out for myself that the jacket i'm wearing doesn't have a hood! Oh my god! At least talk about emergency thrill, but it looks like i need to buy some plush hats that Otakus & cosplayers use, not bad if i had one since my favorite auntie could ask me to buy that for myself since i'm into Anime & Toku.

"Looks like the rainy days are near, good thing i have the gear when the rain falls down."

It looks like the khaki-colored jacket that i used last year could be the interesting must-have in my rainy day gear aside from my lavender-colored umbrella & my green-colored military hat that i put on my bag in case of hot sunny days or rainy days when my jacket doesn't have a hood. (Like my favorite khaki jacket that i got from my aunt on my mom's side) I was even thinking of how will the scenarios of buying my important May must-buys & the pick-up date for the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream from my favorite auntie after i receive the confirmation text that it could make me surprised, with wide-open eyes over my eye-shadow-colored eyelids, pink glossy lips & colored nails as i check out the confirmation text while at home, watching Akibaranger & Go-Busters or at the malls while i'm on a shopping spree. Interesting, huh? Oh i wish Plan B will work, where Uncle Kaji could drop by at home where he could get some help from my little brother who is a techie, he could pull out a paper bag or plastic bag that contains the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream that i need to put it on the refrigerator before it melts. With a flabbergasted look, i could think that i end up finding out the biggest surprise of my life. Oh well, i could keep my fingers crossed for that confirmation text that my favorite auntie just kept her promise. But the interesting part, let me just think that i have a double check-up & anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot from the hospital. Ok, mom should witness that!

Dared For More

Like when will i wait for that surprise text from my favorite auntie that she just kept her promise that she just bought the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream as she promised to me? Well, i don't know but maybe, i might receive that surprise text soon. As soon as the summer heat is surely killing me, waiting for the rain to fall anytime soon until next month. I dared myself to enjoy the remaining few days & weeks of summer 2012 before June rolls out where it's all about school. Anyway, i could think that yesterday is another hospital exploration while i could slip on a pair of sunnies that could turn me into a Go-Buster. My little brother could make jokes of me when i wore sunnies, but i don't care, what's for the better, i just become a Go-Buster, this is just for him:

"Deal with it, if i wore this pair of sunnies, i just become a Go-Buster."

My mom always told me to always put on a pair of sunnies on my bag to beat the summer heat or the rainy weather, slipping on a pair of it, protecting my eyes just turned me into a Go-Buster. I don't care if my younger brother joked at me when i wore a pair of sunnies, i might even take a selca pic of myself, looking like i made the cut for Go-Busters in a pair of sunnies with a dark tint. I remember back in the year 2010, it was around April 11, when i found out for myself that i'll go to Ozine Fest 2010 with my favorite auntie, i wore this pair of blue-colored aviators because it was a hot summer season. The last time i wore a pair of aviators was when i attend the H3 con in November 2006, i wore my favorite pair of violet aviators that mom bought for me before entering Sophomore Year HS, on my last 3 months of Freshman Year HS, back in the year 2005. I have a lot of pairs of sunnies to be exact, all useful but adds a hint of vintage thrill. I remember the time last January 14, when all of us in the family are heading to the Salcedo Community Market in Makati, the night before, i was fixing my pink-colored Pucca bag to fill up my important essentials, so i decided to put the violet-colored aviators in the bag. Anyway, i could think of myself wearing sunnies, looking chic. About yesterday's hospital visit for my mom where she needs a check up, mom told me that i'll have a check-up under mom's doctor. But aside from that, i'll surely have my anti-cervical cancer vaccination shot, i might end up acting numb after. Don't worry, i'll be just fine, while having a Salmon Sashimi-Salmon Teriyaki-Bottomless Iced Tea lunch or dinner at Chic Boy with my parents or little brother, shopping spree at the mall with the family or receiving the summer surprise of my life from my favorite auntie. Anyway, i'm fine, don't worry. Not unless i thought about on the next shopping spree, there might be another black-colored plastic storage container shopping spree meets receiving a text from my favorite auntie about what she promised for me. Oh well, let the memories of January 8, 14 & 29 come in again as i end up being flabbergasted after my mom told me to get a check-up.

Check Up My Sunnies, Please?

"I guess wearing black-colored sunnies can turn me into a Go-Buster, a new addition on my collection of sunnies!"

Today, my little brother & i tag along with mom, heading to the hospital for her check-up. But the crazy part, i was wearing a pair of sunnies that could turn me into a Go-Buster. Maybe next time, i could take a selca pic of myself, wearing a pair of black-colored sunnies, that could turn me into a Go-Buster. (Optional: Hairstyle based from the 3 Go-Busters themselves) I heard from my mom that my little sister & i will have a check-up next month, but aside from a check up, i could try to have an anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot since i need to be vaccinated from the breakout of cervical cancer. Thinking of that, i was thinking about what will be the perfect scenario of summer 2012 for me, i guess the best summer for me so far, so good was summer 2010. That means the summer from 2 years ago was best, good thing because of summer school, ice cream & a lot of things. The rainy days quite kicked off by May while i was reading a book from Paulo Coelho. Anyway, that was the best summer ever. Like i wish i could think of when will be the time i'll try that yummy soft-serve vanilla ice cream again during the bonding times of dad & i. Sometimes, i could even think of myself of having those so-called vintage summers like i entered a thrift shop. After the check-up mom discovered a thrift shop near to the hospital, it's just a walk away that sells antique items, even a refrigerator! I remember i used to watch a show on TV around 2009 which is about everything Shabby Chic, like i could stumble upon my grandma's old magazines which is about the vintage items from the 1920's to the 1950's. But the interesting part, i love to read that whenever i drop by on grandma's house for either vacation or visit. Like reading my favorite uncle's interesting books or the books i could find on the study room's collection of books. Anyway, i should get started to think when will i have that check-up & vaccination next month before June where school kicks off. By the time my little sister could throw me back to school & continue high school, just to finish it, Senior Year HS to be exact, then i wish i could look more of a superhero in my high school uniform.

"I got my check-up & vaccinated already, oh crap, i got a text from my favorite auntie that she just bought the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream! Oh no, got to pick up that ASAP!"

Next month, i'll have a check-up, same for my little sister, but it will be 2 for the price of 1 for me since mom agreed with my plan to have an anti-cervical cancer vaccination shot. No excuses is such a rule, since i could try not to have a break-out of cervical cancer. Like i could hear the theme song of The Hospital, my favorite Taiwanese drama series that has Jerry Yan, playing the role of a bed-headed cute-looking male doctor, watched that for 4-5 straight episodes, but i got hooked on watching Akibaranger & Go-Busters as of this moment, i miss the times i could watched those Chinese dramas dubbed in Filipino, thinking that i wish i donned a bedhead like Vic Zhou, now, i wish i donned a cute bob ala Katsuhiro Suzuki or Ryoma Baba. When the day i found out for myself that i receive a text message from my favorite auntie that she bought the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & all 3 flavors of Magnum Ice Cream, but the crazy part is that i was on the hospital during my check-up & vaccination day, then i could remain silent since after the doctor gave me the vaccination, like i could not scream when the syringe's needle sinks on my skin, i could think it's like i was aimed by an arrow from an archer. After that, the doctor will put a pink-colored band-aid on the skin of my upper arm (left or right), as an evidence that i got vaccinated, no excuses. But i would end up acting numb like nothing happened, as i could try to turn on the music on my new portable music player (like an MP3 or MP4 Player) as i put on the earphones & put on my sunnies like the Go-Busters. Wish i could be like Arisa Komiya since i need to pack-up on some snacks whenever my hunger calls me. (Drinks? Just Gatorade, don't blame Nico Salva, please!) It would be better if i could get a check up on a weekday, i know my little sister is busy with her work now, she will surely have a check up even we are days apart for our check-up. Like i remember last week when i got a yummy Chic-Boy dinner, i wish it could be a Japanese dinner with a Salmon twist: Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Teriyaki & some bottomless iced tea, hope they have some chopsticks so i can eat it in a Japanese way! Mom will surely love that when she saw that for me!

Put An Ice Cream On It

The temperature today is like i just can't take it anymore, i would rather have some ice cream as of this moment as i could wish that i could plunge myself in a pool of cold water with some ice. (Or for the better, long showers over cold water!) I sent a bunch of text messages between myself & my favorite auntie about i got pissed out because of mom who would love to piss me super-bad. She told me that she could rather buy those 6 Super Sentai DVD's & some Magnum Ice Cream, just to cheer me up before we look forward for the next Anime con that it will happen at SM Megamall & we will attend as soon as we can. But i would try to buy the K-Pop references that i would try to buy like a copy of Popped Too & Sparkling Spring 2012 issue which had just came out 2 days ago. Would be great if i bought that with a new pair of headphones & an MP3/MP4 Charger from CD-R King & a Kabuki Brush so i can use my blush-oh while my mom told me to tell dad to give me the notebook & the face powder. The crazy part, i would try to remember what happened last January 8 & 14, the 2 days where the words 'shopping spree' & 'clearance sale' is a part of my shopping vocabulary.

But i would even think if my favorite auntie could caught me & dad do the shopping like the memories of January 8 & 14 will come back to me, then it's ok with me. Not bad if i end up buying 10 items from the mall & i was caught by my favorite auntie like she would ask: "Shopping with your dad? Winning!" Oh great, i was caught while i'm in a cute get-up. Oh well, like i could try to act simple. Like i bought my important must-buys & then, i bought some accidental must-buys like i kept reading my shopping list to check out the ones that i haven't bought for a very long time & give it a check soon as i bought it. Another plastic storage container shopping spree? Maybe, like mom told me to clean up my mess for sure. Cute yet cheap-priced accessories could be fine with me since i need to look nice while i could wait for the day an Anime convention will held at SM Megamall, my favorite auntie & i will be there. But somehow, i would try to shop for everything that i need. As i kept my fingers crossed for my favorite auntie who will buy the 6 Super Sentai DVD's & some Magnum Ice Cream, mom should not be jealous that i'm eating ice cream.

The Hospital Blues

"Mom, are you kidding? I need a check-up aside from my anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot? Oh please, you did a bright idea."

I remember yesterday, my mom told me that my little sister & i need to have a check-up at the hospital, but aside from that, i told her that i need an anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot. But it's been a decade since i got my 1st injection shot for a blood test. But this time around, after a decade, this is for a vaccine so i will not have a cervical cancer breakout. Not bad if i have a pink-colored band-aid wrapped on my left upper arm & then the next day or a few days later, i'll have a quite numb left arm. I don't want to cry after i got a vaccine shot, i would rather be proud of it. Not bad that after i got a double check-up & anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot, i would pull myself up with my parents & my little brother on Chic Boy for dinner even my little sister is unavailable due to her work. My dinner would be a double salmon treat, Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Teriyaki & a bottomless iced tea while there's a basketball game featured on the large projector screen. Wish i could rather be on a Toku-inspired get-up, not bad if i could ponytail my hair now since my hair is getting longer again after i got a haircut last month, i always prefer to myself to don a Vic Zhou or Ryota Ozawa-inspired bedhead, even if i'm a girl & mom could go ballistic on that.

"Mom, please agree on my decision that i always want to don a short, thin & layered hair! Just because my hair grows slowly!"

Sometimes, i don't want to end up on another hairstyle debate on what hairstyle i want to don. That cause our crazy bitch-fights, just because of hairdo's? Fine, i can't do that on the hospital since it reminds me of watching Jerry Yan's Taiwanese drama where he plays the role of a doctor. Oh well, let me admit i love cute-looking male doctors that looks a cross between male Asian pop stars from Japan, Korea or Taiwan & a male Toku hero from Japan. They just reminded of Dr. Gerard Su Yi Hwa from The Hospital, 1 of my favorite Taiwanese drama shows which is all about saving lives while surviving a reality slap of being a doctor. Anyway, if that double check up & anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot did happen during this hot summer season, then it will be unforgettable like i end up on a shopping spree, shopping for what i need. Ending up myself on a salmon Japanese dinner at Chic Boy over bottomless iced tea or a Burger McDo Ala Carte-Large-Fries-Green Apple Sprite Float P80 combination for snack time while thinking of what will be my snack when i watch Akibaranger & Go-Busters every Hero Day Sunday, before or after a mall-bonding time with my family or my favorite auntie. The Hospital is know what my mom & i knew, aside from the malls.

Initial Reactions

"Look auntie, i just bought a copy of Popped Too & a Spring 2012 issue of Sparkling today."

"I just bought your 6 Super Sentai DVD's, good thing i brought your list that you gave to me last Monday."

"Auntie, i just got an anti-cervical cancer vaccine recently because my mom told me so, i almost screamed loud at the hospital."

"Really? I can see that on that pink-colored Band-Aid on your left upper arm."

"Yeah, the bad news, it happened when i looked like Mitsuomi Takahashi from his Boukenger stint at the hospital. Not bad, i enjoyed watching Akibaranger episode 3 last weekend, then i watched Go-Busters."

"Good for you, you surely survived the craziness of summer 2012, think it's summer 2010 all over again."

"Since you said that, yeah right!"

Think in that pic, i'm Hiromu & my favorite auntie is Yoko, interesting, huh? But that was my fearless forecast on what will happen to me if all of what i planned did just happen successfully. Dropping by at my grandma's house after i bought the 2 K-Pop essentials while my favorite auntie just bought the 6 Super Sentai DVD's that i'm raving to have then i just had my anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot & lots more, exchanging what just happened to the 2 of us in the craziness of summer 2012. If i would think some of the elements of summer 2010 just returned, then it's a big yes. But somehow, it's not bad if i told her about a bunch of stuff related to the crazy happenings of summer 2012 like i could do that on the dining table, talking to my favorite auntie face-to-face while i'm eating desserts & drinking a 500ml ice-cold bottle of Pepsi. Talking about a bunch of crazy things before we could set up plans of attending Anime cons to be held at SM Megamall as our bonding time since we don't see each other often, not unless we exchange text messages. Ok, talk about when a year ends in an even number, summer will be exciting than i thought, where's the ice cream?

"Look auntie, i could think that the needle of syringe when i got my anti-cervical cancer vaccine at the hospital is like a missed shot of the arrow's tip aimed by an archer on me."

First time after a decade, i might end up having an injection, covering it could not be a piece of cake, but remembering the time when i got injected could give me those crazy flashbacks watching The Hospital & Grey's Anatomy. (I nearly forgot that i need to watch The Hospital aside from my Super Sentai Fix) Anyway, while mom is just getting started to get well on some of her hospital visits, i just end up trying to be ok, but getting sick is not in my life experience. Never been in a serious injury after i heard Vic Zhou's car accident 7 years ago, never been stuck on a wheelchair, never been confined in the hospital! Anyway, it would be fine if i end up having a broken arm or wearing this eye-patch that i've seen in Air Gear that looks more of a bandage plaster patch-thingy with elastic straps & wearing it, covering my black eye (right or left) after i got in a fight that reminds me of the disco rumble scene from Meteor Garden 1 & i looked like Hiro Mizushima's cross-dressing moment from Hana Kimi-Japan (Version 1) where it reflects my inner vintage party girl. (Maybe all i need is a Kabuto Zecter since Hiro Mizushima broke out in the world of Toku in KR Kabuto)

"If you fools, except for that bedhead cutie would pick a fight with me, oh watch out, Kabuto Zecter is roaming around this disco! You don't want to pick a fight with THE Hiro Mizushima!"

Oh well, the bedhead cutie i'm talking about is Vic Zhou. I was trying to be a Hiro Mizushima girl combining his roles as Nanba in Hana Kimi Japan (First Version) & Tendou/Kabuto in KR Kabuto. Oh well, talk about let my heroic dreams come true since this is the right time for me to end up being a hero as of this moment.

Set This For Summer

Last week, i told my mom about having an anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot, she agreed with me since i need to have that. I remember those thoughts of kids who are afraid of injections. I know i surpass that once 10 years ago, but this could make me try not to scream the word, 'OUCH' so loud on a hospital & think that my favorite auntie is on her way to buy the Super Sentai DVD's. (I'm going to be the one who will buy the Spring 2012 issue of Sparkling & Popped Too instead while i'm going to buy the last 2 of 4 Candy issues that has the charms for the Candy 13th Anniversary Limited Edition Charm Bracelet) Anyway, it all happened last night when my parents, my little brother & i dropped by at my grandma's house, at least my favorite auntie & i are on our way to do the summer surprise plan. But when it comes on shopping, maybe it's like it's a rewind of January 8 & 14. Just because now with a cute, short, thin & layered hairdo (Hope my hair is colored!) is surely 1 thing i would don to enjoy a crazy shopping spree as i decided to return the days dad & i do the shopping. Not bad, i guess dad & would just end up being a shopaholic because dad could do the shopping, i should tag along with me.

Preparations? Oh great, it's like summer is where the hot summer sun can turn everything to be exciting, the ice cream sales are on high due to the hot days of summer. (I got some cravings of either Cornetto or Magnum) If given the chance mom gave me the go signal that i should have an anti-cervical cancer vaccine shot, then i should not scream out loud while i'm in a Toku Hero-inspired get up. (That would be embarrassing!) Oh well, it would be a good bragging right that i have this cute pink-colored band-aid on my arm, talk about i survived the injection! Maybe this weekend, i should get started to buy the 2 important K-Pop must-haves, got to buy that when the Spring 2012 issue of Sparkling comes out tomorrow. But still, i need to buy a new pair of earbuds & a Kabuki Brush (for my blush-on) while i could start up a plan on how to convince dad on giving me his Clean & Clear Oil Control Face Powder. The weird part, there are still missing pieces in my make-up kit so far while i could think of when will i have this haircut & hair color salon appointment so i will end up looking like more of a Toku Hero. But as i would even wish, i guess mom will surely agree on that!

A Shopaholic's Daydream

Maybe i don't wait until i end up drinking an ice-cold 500ml bottle of Pepsi after i ate some yummy Korean Pop Rice snacks after all of that shopping frenzy, i could think those times where i end up being a shopaholic since the start of this year was like a test for me. Please, i remember that late November frenzy that did happen last November 29 that i just want to buy 2 cute necklaces that i would love to wear when i go out with my family or my favorite auntie. (I think i was just getting started to have more accessories) So far, i would love to buy the next 2 issues of Candy (May & June 2012 issues) to complete the 4 charms for the Candy 13th Anniversary Limited Edition Charm Bracelet. The reason? I'm a Candy girl since the year 2000, back when i was a 6th Grader, that could be the coolest accessory ever. But somehow, i could need to buy those issues early. Buying it early is like i don't have to wait for the exact month itself, most magazines had it's latest issues out on the middle or the later days of every month. Anyway, i could try to buy the next 2 issues soon to complete the charms & wear it. But hey, buying accessories & makeup is my thrill aside from buying what's been in my shopping list so far.

The truth is it's not insane that i remember the time around January 14 during SM's Clearance Sale that i just end up buying a cheap-priced black-colored plastic storage container. Never mind, there might be more than that soon like buying the stuff my mom & i would love to have so far, so good. Not unless if my little brother would tag along with us when we do some heavy shopping spree on buying some stuff. But hey, January is a month this year where i end up being a crazy shopaholic. Anyway, maybe throughout the 1st half of this year, i might put a check mark on some stuff that i just bought according to my shopping list. Anyway, i could admit that i'm waiting for that text message from my favorite auntie about that she just bought those 6 Super Sentai DVD's, a copy of Popped Too & a copy of Sparkling's Spring 2012 issue (that will be out in 2 days time) If i receive that text, then that will be the biggest life-changing surprise of my dear life. Come pick up time, as i drop by to my grandma's house, my favorite auntie told me to cheer up, chin up, put that smile on my face & look more of a Toku Hero in my get up. Well, let me just wait for that time to come!

I Waited For 5 Years For This

"I have waited 5 years for this, it's like i watched those 5 Ateneo-La Salle games from UAAP Season 70!"

Like it's been 5 years since the year 2007, i know i didn't mind about Sandara Park's departure, instead, i watched the legendary return of the Ateneo-La Salle rivalry. Those years from 2007 until last year just changed me for the better & i ended up being a: Toku Fangirl, UAAP Geek, Shopaholic with a knack for accounting lessons, Asian Pop Fanatic, girl who loves to don a bedhead like Vic Zhou but ending up donning a bedhead like Ryota Ozawa, you named it! Not bad as i admit i have the main reason why i love to watch the closing intro of Gaoranger back in late November when i got hooked on that series when i found out it was released a decade before Gokaiger. The time back in early March when i told my favorite auntie to buy me those Super Sentai DVD's as i gone ballistic, maybe the days of waking up in the morning around summer & i caught my little brother watching my SS DVD's would be crazy, i might end up saying this:

"Why are you watching my SS DVD's????? You're watching Boukenger? Well guess what, i heard the voice of Mitsuomi Takahashi around 7am! Ugh, let me have my breakfast now!"

Hahaha, i could always caught my little brother back in summer 2010 doing that habit, but i guess i have those SS DVD's bought by my favorite auntie, that might happen again. (It didn't cost me a breakfast from McDonald's like what my mom brought for me last Tuesday!) Never mind, i can't wait to receive a text from her that she just bought the DVD's along with a copy of Popped Too & a Spring 2012 issue of Sparkling. That's what i want for now before we go to some Anime cons at SM Megamall for some shopping, meeting friends & so much more. I could think that in life for me now, i didn't care about the celebrities i hated the most, that could turn me into a Go-Buster (because of watching Go-Busters & having a crush on both Katsuhiro Suzuki & Ryoma Baba) & watching some SS shows, retro or modern on the DVD's or on the internet. Never mind, all of things i do nowadays since 2007 has a reason, survival. Maybe the celebrities i hate might be after me, but i don't care, if i only have an SLR Camera that could turn into a gun like the Go-Busters, please, i can copy Ryoma Baba's hairdo!
