23

// January 19th, 2010 // Comments Off // Body, Mind & Soul, Life, Music

Last January 8th, I turned 23. Hahahahahahaha. I don’t feel old though. Everyone else my age or slightly younger think that 23 is old. It is NOT. I’m not being defensive or anything. I just think I’m living for the day unlike a lot of people who are either stuck in the past or too freaked out about the future. So ha.

What else what else.

O ya. I quit my job. I was in it for less than a month. lol. Now where’s my money?! Hahaha. I wanna go to the Paramore concert, see. It’s in March and I’m REALLY excited to see those guys live. They’re awesome – one of my fave bands from the 2000s [I'm a '90s kid, see... especially when it comes to music, movies and TV].

Aaaaaand! I wrote a song! First for the year. Not to happy with it, but at least I’ve been writing again. I need more drive. Like I used to, years ago. Except… I don’t want to feel like I did during those times. Not anymore. I gotta move forward. You know the feeling where you seem to be inspired only when you’re down? I don’t want that anymore. It’s not healthy. Sure, sure, music is my therapy – but I don’t want to constantly feel down just so I can make music. I don’t want to always end up sabotaging relationships with all the people around me for the sake of writing. It’s not fair – not to them and not to myself.

On a positive note… I’m online a lot. At strange hours of the day. So if you feel the need to take a hold of me, I’m either in Facebook, Farmville, Tumblr, or Twitter. Don’t IM me, I’m barely on those things. Don’t call or text me, I’ve abandoned my phone. You could probably email me, but good luck finding out which email I’m using. Muwahahahaha.

Or I’ll be in front of the TV watching sitcom and cooking show reruns. Or asleep. HAHAHAHAHA.

PS: That is NOT my Post Secret up there. So relax, k?

…and to all, a good night!

Merry Christmas, everybody

Sorry I haven’t been posting much here anymore [not that anybody still cares... LOL]. Been a little too busy with stuff. Work has been too stressful, so yeah. I don’t know where I’m supposed to start picking up the pieces now.

I suppose I can start by tidying up my room or something.

Who am I kidding. I can’t even tidy up my laptop these days!!! It’s so unlike me. I’m one of those obsessive kids who categorize things too much… i.e. clothes sorted by colors, digital pictures sorted by date [pictures folder > year > month > day > occasion]. So this has to be easy for me.

I don’t normally make new year’s resolutions, so I guess this’ll be my first. Be more organized. Than usual. And more of that physically, not just digitally.

PS: I’m turning 23 in less than 2 weeks. 2010 will be strange but great

about time I update this

// July 29th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // FEU, Family, Friends, Life, Music, Sports, UST, Work

So it’s been what, a month? What’s up y’all? Riiight, like anyone still reads this besides my crazy former coworkers (that’s right, I’m onto you guys). lmfao

Hmm. Okay, first off I’m now officially jobless. HAHAHA. I like it, doing nothing for a while. Thinking of doing some freelance writing and/or SEO. I actually liked my former job… It’s the commute to & from the office that kinda killed me.

Next, family. Celebrated birthdays (my dad’s, my mom’s, then my sister’s) and father’s day all over the place. At home, at the mall, everywhere. Family time is love

What else? Oh yeah. My social life. Been hanging out with a lot of friends & coworkers lately. Eating out & drinking with the latter, mostly. With friends, well let’s just say the DreamGirls are back in the UAAP

Speaking of which… UST and FEU are doing amazing in said league. My Final Four picks for this season, in no particular order: UST, FEU, UE and ADMU. UST will emerge as the champion (sorry FEU pals, haha).

Music-wise, my iPod is nearly full! Really! I never thought I could fill up 30gigs of space with over 10 thousand songs plus a bunch of movies & videos. But I’m not buying a new one anytime soon. I could use a new mobile phone though… iPhone or BlackBerry? But I might buy a camera first, before I start buying a phone and a Macbook. Ah whatever. Come September I’ll be rich anyway

I need inspiration… To write music, to watch UAAP basketball, to find work, to clean my room!

This is getting a little too long. Gots to go now. Byeee

PS: It’s my parents’ wedding anniversary on Friday. <333

Like what I’ve done to the place?

// June 4th, 2009 // Comments Off // Family, Site Updates, Work

What can you say about the new look of the site? It’s actually based on a free WP template (which you may or may have seen me use yesterday). Credits for that original and all the stuff used on this layout can be found in the Colophon page.

I combined a lot of elements I like into it. It’s a minimalist theme that barely uses images, so site loading is quick. It’s got a fixed width that looks okay in browsers (I’ve tried on my 1280-wide screen and at my office laptop that has 1024 pixels only). I used a cute new set of images for the Sociable plugin (those little buttons below each entry), which seem to suit the look just fine. I also went trigger-happy with the widgets (2 Flickr, 1 Twitter, etc…) on the sidebar. I also changed the colors from shades of pink to a deep shade of red, tinkered with the image CSS code, and made the header image using brushes and my own randomness. I’ve made this theme version “my own” and I might keep this look for a very long time.

So anyway, I have to go. It’s wayyy past 3am, and yesterday I slept only about 3 hours, so I need to catch up on some sleep. I don’t wanna end up dozing off at work or anything like that! Haha

PS: It’s my dad’s brithday today! :love:

So call me fickle, but…

// June 3rd, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Site Updates

Oh yes, I’ve renewed the layout YET AGAIN. I was getting sick of those AdSense ads everywhere. And it was a little too professional-looking. I like this new layout better. It’s simple but not too boring minimalist, it’s widget-packed, and I’m using a WordPress plugin for the ads. I’m customizing it even more once I get the time. I’m not very fond of the color fuchsia/pink, see. I want my site in white/black/grays/reds! The background image isn’t so hot either, and I can’t seem to find a cool gothic-ish type of tiled background that fits. Hmm. But for now, this’ll have to do.

new site look & new stuff

// May 31st, 2009 // Comments Off // Friends, Love, Music, Rant, Site Updates, Sports, UST, Work

A few new things to notice about the site:

• There’s Google ads. Hey, I need money too.
• I changed the layout. I used a customizable WP theme.
• The music page went berserk, for reasons I can’t explain. I need to fix it, hmp. It’s fixed! You may now head to the music page to listen to my songs.

So I went out with co-workers last Friday. CRAZY PEOPLE. You decide if that’s a good or bad thing. At one part of the night I felt violated. I’m not kidding. But there’s a bunch of pics, just check my Multiply site (link is at the left sidebar).

Yesterday I hung out a bit at the UST gym. A friend of mine (who’s also a varsity player), kept making fun of me. DUDE. That issue you’re forcing on me and your room mate is SO OVER. ( But it was all in good fun, haha.

After basketball practice, I watched a basketball game with a friend/co-worker. This guy on one of the teams, drove me crazy (in a good way, mind you). He was on his team’s bench, when he saw me and waved! Then after the game, he approached me, held my hand, then let it linger. I don’t know what that means, I don’t even know if it means ANYTHING at all. All I know is when I realized what happened, I was happy :love:

epic BOOYAH!

// May 19th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Celebrities, FEU, Family, Friends, Life, Love, Music, Rant, Sports, UST, Work

Damn. Been watching to much of Kim Possible at 3 in the morning. That Ron Stoppable made me say “booyah” a couple of times already!

ANYWAY. Onto business…

1. David Cook & David Archuleta concert – It was AMAZING. I like them both but I never thought I’d SCREAM for Archie. And of course, DC rocked the house down. They did A Daily AntheM’s ending together. For concert media, check out: photos | tweets | videos
2. I’ve been having a stressful bunch of weeks lately. More than two weeks now! Today was especially horrifying. Not naming names or specifying what happened, but all I know is it was unfair. My office laptop’s charger is missing, office tasks were created then done then cancelled, a client from my 2nd job postponed something while another client won’t respond, and on top of that… MY SANDWICH WAS SOGGY! It was barely even a sandwich. I even cried. People thought I broke up with my boyfriend or something. I said, “I wish it was love I was having problems with!” I ended up buying a muffin from Starbucks to make myself feel better, and that’s low.
3. I absented myself from work last Thursday. Originally, I was going to watch basketball before work with a co-worker, but after I just went home for much needed rest. Like I said, too much stress!!! UST (my school) lost to State U that day, while FEU (my friends’ school) won over another college.
4. Spent Mother’s Day with the family. We were complete except for my sister-in-law who spent her day with her mom in the parlor. lol. I gave my mom a CD each of DC and Archie, and she loved them. My brother & his wife gave her a yummy-smelling lotion, my eldest sister & her husband brought food, and my other sister made pasta. My dad drove at 3 or 4am just to buy mom flowers, despite a throbbing, painful left foot. :love:
5. Been missing my friends. Saw a huge bunch of them lately! A lot during the concert, actually. It was pretty funny. Nothing like Idol 7 finalists to bring friends together unexpectedly!
6. And oh yeah. Love life. Hmm. Where am I heading? For me to know, and for you to find out (though that never really made sense to me, haha!)

On a side note, I’m feeling MUCH better now. A Starbucks muffin, a few good friends (including online ones), and music will always make me feel better. And when I got home, my mom heated some of the food she cooked yesterday–nothing like a home made meal. COMFORT FOOOOOOD

PS: Danny Gokey still rules. I love Kris Allen and Adam Lambert though. Who is it for you, Kris or Adam?

PPS: Should I watch the Pussycat Dolls next month?

It’s official.

I’m addicted to Twitter.  Mini-blogging my ass. It’s actually license to stalk your favorite celebrities! KIDDING.

Right now I’m really enjoying reading updates from Rob Thomas, David Archuleta, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Jamie Cullum, and of course my friends, among many others.

Have I mentioned that John Vesely (aka Secondhand Serenade) is following my tweets? SO EFFING COOL.

I’m also very, VERRRRRY excited for something…

Two VIP tickets are now in my possession. Next step: find a way to get back stage. LEGALLY. I’m going with Clare, my “twin.” She loves Archie, I love Cookie. But we both like both Davids. <3 This is gonna be HELLA FUN!
