my laptop is a poser.

Oh dear. Sorry for not updating again, I’m a lazy ass. Haha. But I bet a few have noticed I changed the layout, the other one really was too pink in my opinion. And I didn’t like how my face looked on it, so I opted for something simple.

So yeah, last Saturday (Dec. 2) I was out with my family. We ate at a place called Seafood Wharf then we walked around & then relaxed at Starbucks. Mmm, mocha frap. Took tons of pictures, half of which are still with my sister. Besides, I’m too lazy to upload them, remember?

What else. Oh yeah, the laptop. We had an LQ (lovers’ quarrel) last Wednesday, since morning, hehe. I then realized it was trying to be a Mac when it was clearly on Windows XP. Ah well, whatever. But we eventually became ok. We had compromises, so now…

December 7 was my friend Dylan’s birthday. Vanessa & I ambushed him after basketball practice. Hehe. We had a blast strolling down memory lane, dragging Vanessa along with us, lol.

About 2 weeks before Christmas and already I’m in vacation mode. Why? Because we barely had classes in the past two weeks. With the exception of classes last Thursday and yesterday, the last time I went to school was Monday last week. Oh dear, no wonder I’m so messed up at the moment. Been going out loads, wreaking havoc wherever my two feet step on. Though as I’ve mentioned in the previous entry, no presents yet!!! I just don’t feel that holiday vibe yet. But whatever, I’ll find time to buy pressies for everyone. (=

Pressies? Am I really turning British? Haha, kidding.

My aunt’s coming home from Michigan tonight, so I better get myself ready. I’m so lazy, it’s about 2pm and I still look like I just got out of bed. Rawr.

Mind is blank. Title-less.

Hi. Remember me? Yes, I still exist. Sorry I’ve been such a slacker again. College is keeping me busy but I’m really trying my best to maintain this thing, and obviously I’m failing. Psssh.

Anyway, this weekend has been interesting. Last Sunday I went shopping with my mom & got myself a laptop. Woohoo!! It’s an ACER Aspire 3640 and so far it’s been serving me pretty well. (= My dad also gave me money to buy new socks, so I bought six new pairs. He has this belief that I wear the same pair of socks everyday (not true) so I might as well take advantage. LOL.

So the past two weeks since I updated have been pretty hard on me. It’s probably part of the reason why I don’t get online that often—I’ve been in and out of depression. I’m not even myself anymore! I don’t enjoy things like I used to because I was far too distracted to care about what now seem to be of less priority. If you’re really curious as to why I’ve been problematic, then fine. It’s about Charlie. I know I said we’re still good friends (and it’s still true), but this whole situation is driving me crazy. I can’t really explain at the moment, but when I’m ready, I will. I’m getting better by the day, but it’s just not right all the same. I’m just hoping this whole dilemma will end soon.

Anyway, last Saturday my school won a basketball game! They finally recovered after quite a slump, and I’m so proud of them. I’m gonna watch them again this Thursday with some friends, and hopefully they win it and all three succeeding games. If half the team weren’t my friends… Haha.

PS: I shall update the rest of this website when I finally get the motivation. Cross your fingers! Haha

the start of something new.

// July 31st, 2006 // Comments Off // Family, Site Updates

I managed to delete everything on my domain, just so I can start fresh on this whole “online journal” thing. It’s been about two months since I last posted an entry, can you believe it? It’s not that I’m lazy—I just don’t have the time!

Well I’ll put a more interesting post soon, about my (mis)adventures over the past two months & such. At least with this post, y’all know I’m still alive. Haha. I’ll try to work on this thing as quick as possible. I’ve been writing new songs & all that… so I hope you’ll like them.

If you ever need to contact me (which I highly doubt), you can always find me at the following sites:

• deviantART
• Friendster
• LiveJournal
• Multiply
• MySpace

Till then, see ya!

PS: It’s my parents’ 35th wedding anniversary today. Ahihi. Ü

oh lordy.

Wow, I managed to not update for more than 3 weeks again… I’m such a bum. Like I said, I just looooove neglecting my site. Que in sarcasm… now. Looks like I’ve been going out way too many times this summer. I’m here at my mom’s office again, but damn I can’t wait till I get my laptop. Mom said I’ll get it by the end of the month. I’ll make proper updates then, alrighty?

Anyway, school’s starting soon here in the Philippines. In my school we start on June 14th, and oh my God my schedule is strange. Mondays/Wednesdays from 3-9 pm, Fridays from 8-11 am & 3-9 pm, and Saturdays from 4-7 pm. It may take a while to get used to.

Other stuff I’ve been up to while I was gone…
• May 19 – I went partying with Charlie, GP & Joyce at The Basement; I had 2 Margaritas & a beer; photos from the morning after
• May 20 – I went out with all my siblings to a place called Tiendesitas to eat & shop; later that night we went to Nineteen20 to celebrate Chester’s birthday—I had another Margarita plus a blueberry Vodka Cruiser.
• May 21 – woke up with a massive headache, but I still had to go to the mall to get my cellphone charger which I accidentally left at Charlie’s.
• May 23-24 – had a mild case of sore eyes for 2 days so I got prescription eye drops
• May 25 – Charlie accompanied me to get pictures of me taken for an audition
• May 26 – Jerome’s birthday. I saw “X-Men: The Last Stand” with Charlie, Joyce, Kay & Jade—I loved the movie so much
• May 27 – I went to another mall with my sister Larraine; she got a haircut while I waited in a computer shop. After that, we ate at Bread Talk, roamed around for a bit, then went to the dermatologist & got ourselves some facials. Ahhh.
• May 31 – Went swimming with Charlie, Joyce , Cyrian, Verity, Jackie & Kay
• June 1 – I saw my crush in school & talked to him for a bit. Hehe. I auditioned for Philippine Idol; Charlie was there to support me. It went ok but I wasn’t accepted.
• June 2 – I went to enrol for my junior year. Saw my crush outside school & joked around for a bit with him. (= Went out that night with my brother Jonas & sister Doreen… had 2 blueberry Vodka Cruisers and a Tequilla Sunrise.
• June 3 – Slept over at my sister Doreen’s house & we went shopping in the afternoon.
• June 4 – Dad’s birthday. We celebrated it here at home, giving him gifts & then eating lunch together.
• June 5 – I went with Charlie to help him pick out a gift for a friend of ours who’s celebrating her birthday today, June 8th (hi Joyce) hehe.
• June 6 – GP’s birthday; I watched a rerun of Prison Break, nothing too significant

More updates: both dVINTAGEshop & vintagePORTAL are back; and more new photos are added here, here, here & here. And my fanlisting is now up thanks to Shari!

oops… i did it again (how retro)

// May 15th, 2006 // 40 Comments » // Family, Life, Love, Sports

So I’ve been gone again for about three weeks. I can’t help it, I love neglecting my site! Ahem, sarcasm. Been going out a lot… I keep going to basketball games, hanging out with friends, and basically just having fun.

I got a haircut… A pretty one. LOL. My hair’s quite short now, shoulder-length & very “piecey.” After the cut, my sister Larraine kept joking to me that I’m now human & I’m now a girl. HAHA. Right. Photos: here & here.

Anyway, yesterday was mother’s day. Our celebration this year was simple. We just had snacks and stuff, my dad & my brother bought mom flowers, and we had a blast spending time together. I hope everyone else had a good time.

I applied for a couple of jobs in the past few weeks. I got a callback but not for the job I really wanted. Damn. Oh well, school’s coming up in a month over here anyway, so I guess I’ll just make the most out of my summer vacation instead.

As for my “lovelife,” me & Charlie (my ex) are just good friends now. We’re still close, no one is depressed, and in fact, I’m the one egging him on about going for this new girl he likes. Muhaha. And this guy I like, well we see each other every now & then, sending texts messages every so often, but nothing more than that. At least not for now. ;p

I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow though. I might go watch a basketball game with some friends tomorrow… Clearly I am easily amused. Anyone wanna go partying with me?

i’ve heard of green tea, but GREEN COFFEE JELLY?!

// January 22nd, 2006 // Comments Off // Family, Friends

green coffee jelly

So this weekend wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. I wasn’t allowed to go swimming with my friends yesterday. Because of that, I had lots of arguements with my parents (especially my dad). I even almost broke up with Charlie! I also missed the Jason Mraz gigs ‘cause I had no tickets. I’m a big loser, eh?

I made coffee jelly with my mom though. It’s green, but only because Alex gave me dark green gelatin powder (for my birthday). But really, if you ignore the color & focus on the taste, it’s actually pretty good. And to think it started out looking like icky green goo.

I went to the mall with my mom today. I bought a black top with a pink design, a set of guitar strings & a funky pick. I’m still frustrated about not getting a new mobile phone though… But hey, the money I was supposed to use is going to the laptop I’ve got my eye on anyway! Need. Laptop. Now.

I’ve still got to finish my paper for Journalism (I started it over & changed my topic). Funny how my weekend was spent on sobbing (read first paragraph), making strange desserts, and watching a little too much TV instead of finishing the fricken paper. Haha.

Don’t forget to vote for me!

g’morning

// January 16th, 2006 // Comments Off // Family, Life

I don’t have classes today, but I have exams from tomorrow until Thursday. Then I have a paper due next Monday, plus a documentary project due for the end of the month. So I probably won’t update much in the next few days. We’ll see.

My weekend was alright. Nothing too special happened though… just the usual where I do nothing productive, hehe. But we ordered from Pizza Hut yesterday to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday. We had pizzas, fetuccine & choco puffs. And last Saturday my sister gave me a Taco Bell Supreme. So yeah, my weekend was all about food. Hehe.

I’m bored & I have nothing much to say. I’ll just post a funny pic, then? Alrighty. I got this from Marcie. It’s from the Goblet of Fire premiere last November. Hehe.

Emma: OMFGyesohyeahOMFG!!!!111!!!!!!!!1!!!
Dan: Who’s your daddy? WHO’S YOUR DADDY?!
Rupert: (off camera) Get a room. Gits.

Retarded.

if you should fall, you know i’ll be there

// January 2nd, 2006 // Comments Off // Family, Holidays

So it’s now 2006 and I’m still on what my dad calls a holiday hangover.

I spent New Year’s Eve hanging out at a neighbor’s house with my dad & my brother till midnight. There were fireworks & everything, which was nice as opposed to the last few years (my neighborhood is LAME). Then we greeted everyone a Happy New Year, went home & ate our media noche (er… midnight dinner) with the family.

Then yesterday (New Year’s Day) I went to a relative’s house with my dad & my sister Larraine. We were supposed to meet up with our brother to do something that afternoon but he fell asleep. Anyway, in the evening we had dinner then had party games. I also made cocktails/punch which everyone loved. But just because it tasted like juice doesn’t mean it doesn’t have liquor. A couple of drinks later some people started acting weird, lol.

What’ve I been up to today? Well I woke up late again. Then my sister Doreen hung out here then gave me & our sister Larraine some clothes. Now I’m bored so I decided to listen to some rock/grunge music from the 90s (which to me is the best era of music).

Oh yeah, if anyone could point me to a good tutorial about skinning a site, that’d be great. The one from Codegrrl.com confused me a bit because it didn’t show how to make a “theme chooser” page. Or if you’re feeling generous, skin my site for me.

i’m not vain. i’m just a camwhore. hahaha.

// December 26th, 2005 // Comments Off // Family, Holidays

My dad gave my mom a bouquet of peach-colored roses for Christmas. He surprises us sometimes. Sweet, eh?

On Christmas Eve, I went to mass with some of my family. I haven’t done that in years… Go me! Ha. When we got home we ate our Noche buena (Christmas dinner) which was very delicious of course. Then at the stroke of midnight we rushed over to the living room to exchange gifts. Guess who was assigned (ahem, bullied) to be Santa. Even though I didn’t get everything I wanted, I really do like the ones I received. And yes, Liz, I really wanted to be with my whole family this year. That came true so it’s a big plus.

Then on Christmas Day we all went to our grandma’s house. This is our first Christmas without her so it was a bit sad. My brother cried and my sister who’s a doctor was on duty (WTF?!), but other than that it was great. We also had games, great food, and hmm I got some cash from my relatives. Haha. More money for whatever the hell I’m saving for. Tehee.

I was supposed to go to the mall with my dad today but he got lazy about it & I overslept anyway. So the rest of today was spent eating, watching sitcoms, listening to Lindsay Lohan, talking on the phone & going online. I really gotta get a move on, though. I haven’t started on any of my homework for next year! What’s up with that anyway? Isn’t Christmas break supposed to be, well, Christmas break?!

I also wanna thank Dorthea & Paige for their Xmas fansigns! Thanks, everyone. I never expected I’d get so many this year… I love you all, really!

PS: Happy birthday, Verity!

i saw herbie! amongst other things…

// December 19th, 2005 // Comments Off // Family, Friends, Holidays, Life, Love, Sports, UST

Ok, it’s almost midnight & I haven’t posted in three days. Sorry. Just one more day of school & I’m home free! So the last few days have been a blur. Let’s see now…

Today while on our way to Charlie’s house, we saw a Herbie replica! You know, the VW bug in the movies? Yeah. Anyway at his place we watched tv/movies and ate lots. It’s been a while since I went there because the house is being repainted. His mom even said missed me, haha. (=

Yesterday I woke up at 2:30 in the afternoon! Why? Because of the previous night. But that’ll be elaborated on in the next paragraph. Anywho. So yeah I woke up late & missed the Journalympics (name very original & creative haha). And my cousin Ruby came & brought food from Laguna (not the one in California ok).

Saturday was our annual family Christmas party/reunion. Crazy night. At first I felt like crap, I mean really. But then it got better (somehow) and I ended up $22 richer. Muhahaha. I also got earrings, makeup and other cool shiznit. Some pics from that night are here.

Hmm what else. Oh, today we exchanged xmas gifts. I got a shirt from Kay (and yes I will be wearing it tomorrow). And I got Lindsay Lohan’s new CD from Charlie (he made me open it, he tricked me!) :p I haven’t opened the ones from Joyce, Babsie & Shelly yet. And I’m glad so far everyone’s been liking my presents for them. Yay. Which reminds me, gotta go finish sending out those fansigns!

PS: Thanks to Kayla and Nadja for the fansigns!
