Fab 5

Just watched their holiday episode wherein they visited and invited some of those who they made-over and see how they kept it together since the make over.

Among the finalists, Adam and his wife was chosen the best kept and I couldn’t agree more.

Their house – their living room, kitchen and living room seems to be the same way the 5 left it. It’s touching to see how much they learned
And maintained the make over. It’s nice to see men listening and keeping advices from gays.


Keeping it together

Speaking of which, we managed (my thesis group) to submit our Chapters 1-3 today. There are just minor revisions. The clock is ticking… February na later! OMG! –haha cant believe im using that word.

Jobs

This morning my lolo texted me about a job fair for INFONXX (not sure) at the RCBC this week. I know it’s a call center. I’m just not sure if I’m going to go there since I still have 2 internships, thesis, and 1 minor subject which I never thought would be this much of a problem to me.

So, even if I want to work and apply for work this early, it would be a much wiser choice to keep my priorities on graduating on March, and give the job hunting a little less pressure on me.

things i'm looking forward to this week

• thesis -well it has been all thesis for these past few weeks, like right now, Jeline my thesis mate had just emailed me our thesis and i have to edit and save it for tommorows the deadline of chapters 1-3.
• OJT - well, just writing about it pressures me...i have to accomplish that since its already February and we have so little time left to finish all these requirements! i have 120 hours of OJT left.
• other graduating requirements - i have to at least get some of it crossed out on my to do list!!
• make time for the bf - i know this will be a hell of a week, maybe the only time i'll be having to have with him is on saturday...that is if i'll be free
• baking- finally, my father arranged the oven. mag-sawa lahat ng kilala ko because i'll be baking all week! hahaha!
• catch up on my reading - i've bought catcher in the rye at the start of this month/year and i have'nt progressed...it was kinda too rebelious for me...
• keep writing - i've deprived myself of writing, for a long time. something held back my love for writing blahs, (that story should be in a different entry) but i think i've got it back...

firsts

well, last thursday, i had to meet up with my gurl Jen and buy gifts for our friend Vanessa who's going to get married the next day. yah, i know. But really for me, it was a brave decision for Vanessa and Niño to get married at their early 20's. i mean today, the older the better. Everyone does not like to gamble and take on the responsiblities this early. (that includes me)
and so, knowing Vanessa who's headstrong and stands up for what she wants, i know they could get through this...

Imagine the two of us, buying gifts for a wedding! we had no idea. grabe! we we're gigling all the throughout the gift buying. I had to not really abandon, but leave early our thesis session. Most of our working friends had to take a leave, and some had to be absent to attend her wedding. Jen and I we're saying that she had to go through this for us din when our time comes!!!! and i was telling Jen, no more baby shower for her!!! expensive na! i'm still not working!!! haha

and so the day has come, January 28, 2004

Transpo was not really a problem since my ever dependable boyfriend was willing to come and drive for us-- Jen and Niña to the wedding. when we we're about to leave, the car wouldnt start...i was a little bit calm, and buti na lang our kapitbahay is an auto shop. they helped us, so yun we took Nagtahan and Espana, although Vanessa textd us instead of Nagtahan, we should take Sta. Mesa, but it was too late since we're reaching Espana na. Buti na lang di masyado traffic, by the way, we have to be out of the streets by 3pm kasi color coding.hehe The only problem left was, we didnt know where West Ave was... we took Timog Ave instead and we we're lost we ended up in Commonwealth..hay naku..we we're all patient naman since nobody knew the directions, we we're just worried, we wanted to on time for the rites.

We arrived there, the place was packed with a lot of older (yes, the lola and lolo kind) of people. we and niño's friends lang we're the young ones. ang naabutan na lang namin was, "Blue plates po sa atin". hahaha

It was a civil wedding, and so i thought there wouldnt be those wedding rituals like the cutting of the cake, the doves and the garter and bouquet catching.

So the host, who was for me very impatient and demanding. Started to get everyone's attention for the cutting of the cake, we got the wishes on the cake -mine said something about the career chuva. followed by the garter catching, then, "all the single ladies please come forward for the catching of the bouquet (is that the way you call it ba?), i really did not want to participate since, i was with the boyfriend, it would be too awkward. but then the bf, said "Sige na,ok lang, nakakhiya,ikaw lang sa mga barkada mo matitira sa table. he's right, and i was thinking what are the chances?

and so, we all lined up there and as vanessa threw the bouquet, it landed on me.. no intentions, it hitted my head then my chest then it fell in front of me. i protested it wasn't for me and besides, it would be akward to participate in the garter thing since some other guy got it--i mean a friend of niño, some other guy --not jog. so there, i was kill joy.

although he was telling me it was ok, i still didnt want to do it.

afterwards, he joked about me getting the bouquet. "Hala ka!" It kinda occured to me that yes, catching the bouquet means "you're next", but hey! i didn't catched it, it landed on me. besides it's not a wedding tradition who would decide when i'll get married. what am i saying?? the last sentence made me wide eyed!

we then headed to manila, we dropped off Anne, Magaan,Jho,Niña and JC. then since Tonet and the my other friends are shooting their short film in Malate, we decided to drop by. and just when i was about to txt tonet, she already sensed it. the text read

:halur! dito kami rothman hotel,rm 314,akyat na lang kayo.ingat!

hahaha that's tonet!

and after the chikahan and some yosi break for my beau, we finally got to catch MEET THE FOCKERS at Rob.Place. It was so hilarious! i know, everyone already watched it na. whatever. hehehe. it was so funny, i was irritated to with the guy behind us, who was laughing so hard it was disturbing na and was telling the whole movie na! kainis! i just hate it when people do that! i mean, if you've watched it before na, keep it to yourself! don't steal our chance to have a good laugh. if by chance we didn't get the punch lines and you did, good for you, don't mind us. it's not your money we spent on this one! he kept when jog said "tsong, pakihinaan" but it was too late. we almost didnt enjoy the movie!!! i hope he reads this! hehehe ok lang sana the laugh, but he was laughing so loud i cud not hear the next lines the actors was saying. grrrrr

kaya nga sometimes, although this thought might be discriminating, pero, di ba, its better to watch in Makati or Alabang and pay 100+ --you'll get your money's worth with the audience you'll be sharing the movie with. Instead of paying a little less than that and be with those kind of people who talk during the movie, laugh so loud, and talk about the movie all together! hay!

assh-hole! hahaha! ben stiller's the best! hehehe

so anyway, those we're the firsts for me this week. and boy was it hell. from thesis, to graduation requirements, to weddings.

**this entry could have been much more better with pics, but my dad's cradle for his phone is not here.damot! hehehe

my sister my enemy



I wrote that when i was in third grade. An essay, actually it was more of an attempt to make an essay. It was that early, i was 9, that i wanted to write. Or actually thought i could write.

You see, Buding as we all call her,(Alexis to her friends) is 5 years younger than I am. When she was born, i wasnt really crazy about her. though i wasn't jealous, let me make that clear, i was just used to being myself and being the only kid around the house. Although i remember joining her in her crib drinking milk, still form the bottle and kinda play with her. I remember rescuing her after her yaya left her in the room sleeping and got locked. I had to climb on top of the door and jump from above the little hole my Tito made for me to get inside.

I was used to playing alone, having imaginary friends, being the first grandchild on both sides and being the only pamangkin my aunts and uncles are fond of. So when we we're growing up, and she can play with me na, I wasn't crazy-happy at all. I should say, we didn't click.

But now, that I'm on my 20's (and would still want to remain that age even after 10 years) and she's turning 17, we've actually grown closer together. Thankfully. Our parents couldnt be any happier.

We're actually not only roomates, we're currently bedmates due to the very cold weather. Actually, it started during the rainy season, there's a leak from the roof on our room, and sakto sa bed niya. There was this time, it rained so hard her bed was soaked and we needed mga pails para masalo yung tulo ng water. Of course she couldn't sleep there, and we ended up to sleep together until now.

It's actually fun, although sometimes we still get into each other's nerves. But it will always end up her making kwento about her school and the things she did that day, her teasing me on the things i do, on me being gullible and me being a nag to our little brother and my boyfriend. Or me trying to please her (all of us in the family are takot to her), me making kwento, me asking her to teach me on my NatSci subject.

I never told her this, but i hope this makes up for it.

I appreciate her and the things she does specially for me, and I'm proud of her dancing and being a cheerleader (although there was a time i teased her for that). I'm proud that she's matured and sometimes she acts like the "ate". I know there's a whole world out there for her to explore and conquer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDING!

trauma

my sister got into a real tragic incident yesterday. she went home shaking, and crying while telling me the details.

on her way home,[ from her school(also my former school) to our house, it will just be two rides away] on the jeepney she rode in Taft, i cannot even continue to write, i'm more traumatized by the whole incident than her...i cant write anymore..she got hold-up.tinutukan sya ng balisong, and the worst part, not only tinutok, tinurok pa yun on her sides para maramdaman niya talaga yung balisong. before itutok sa kanya, pinakita pa talaga sa kanya. they we're 3. and accor to my sister, mga adik. the f's and the p's are not even enough cursing for them!!

i felt bad being the eldest, and my school right now is so near lang, i mean we should have been going home together, and maybe this could not have happend. and i'm so terrified for my sister and the trauma she has now, if only i could take the trauma for me na lang. although i'm thankful nothing else had happend to her but every chance that i have to pray at night i always ask for the safety of my family. no im not blaming God, its how unsafe Manila is.

there we're no policemen. could you imagine, there are 2 other schools near my sister's school, and there's a big sign pa na WAG MAG CELLPHONE MAG INGAT SA MAGNANAKAW, my sister was not using her phone. im sure kaya may sign na ganun kasi there have been incidents na, and yet there we're no policemen, 2 station ng police meron in that area, both in U.N.

i dont want to dwell on that na. i want it erased from my memory.

i hope nothing like this happens to you, or anyone form your family.

god bless us all.

and hey! how could i forget to write, LOUISE gave me the nickname "kikaye"


that's me the fatso with my bitch

Catching up

My Saturday started with my dentist texting me about porcelain jackets, that ive texted her about last night, because someone I know needs it and is kinda canvassing around how much it would really cost. Then, my bestfriend Gian followed, asking if I had class or anything I had to do. I immediately replied, no im at home sleeping, no classes for me today. I knew she would come over,since its been ages since we’ve last saw each other, plus she works just 20 mins away..Makati..so, I was waiting for the doorbell, when my mom calls, and tells me to get ready and she’ll buy me an OVEN. Yes, we don’t have that. I’ve been cooking for my family since high school with a gas stove. I don’t even know what do they really call that. All I know is that, since I learned baking when I was on 4th year high school, I wanted to bake and bake. And I know I’m good at it.

So, we had brunch at ToHo in Binondo. Then, we went to this appliance store in Binondo, where as my mom always finds the best bargains, even on appliances, they had exactly what I wanted, well not actually, but close enough. A 4-burner gas range, with an oven roaster that could not only bake but as the lady who sold it to us said, it could roast a LECHON! Wow! But the only set back was, we couldn’t take it home yet, cause they don’t have stocks, and it would be delivered Monday. Oh well, I wanted to have the best, so all right, what’s so bad about having it on Monday instead. I’ve wanted that for years.

Gian and I did the catching up, she seems to enjoy her job right now, as to it was all she talked about. I’m happy for her, and I just hope it would bore her eventually and may it bring her back to school.

Later, Louise texted me that they we’re hanging out in glorietta, and so I wanted to see them. The last time we saw each other was when we watched x-men 2, I think…basta I miss them and wanted to see how they all are, now that all of them are working na. kainggit. I’m glad to know that nothing has changed, Alex was still the cheek-pinching-8-year-old. Nahawa na si Louise sa toy craziness ni Alexxx, but still the animated Louise I met. And Al-king who gained so much weight, I don’t believe its holiday weight, still looked good and just says the right punch lines on me. And Chilley, who also gained weight but it looks good on him and should keep it, made me realize he might be just right for my high school kumare Jenny.

We watched Kung- Fu hustle which was “gad-dam-funny” (I want to quote Al-King) and everybody who watched it before me and said it was soooo funny was right. It was hilarious, and although I’m a Matrix fan, the Kung Fu scenes was for me their way of saying we are the originals!

All night, Alexxx and Al-King we’re teasing me about my arms, my belly, and my cheek-fats! Hehehe But its fine for me, I enjoy their company. I know they’ll be reading this, so, thanks guys for the fun Saturday night. Sa uulitin!

**super late entry

hi!

inaasar kasi ako ni louise..update daw yung last post ko...palpak nga eh..

yesterday, we we're supposed to watch oceans 12, kaya lng mejo late na kami, so we moved the plan on friday. everyone in school, are having their midterms exams, me? My only exam would be Nat.Sci and its scheduled on Saturday, 830 am. so goodluck to me.

finally, finished Da Vinci Code. the first few chapters really bored me, it surprised me with the revelations on the first few chapters of the book. after those revelations, it got me hooked. made it my before sleeping ritual and finished the book. haaaaay! it made me look at our last supper, and it gives me goosebumps everytime i remember those said in the book. although it didnt shook my beliefs, i repeatedly told myself it is fiction. so there, thanks to Dan Brown.

i bought, J.D. Salinger's The Cather in the Rye. i was supposed to buy 11 minutes but National Bookstore, Robinson's Manila doesnt have them (which reminds me to visit their site for my Laking National card). Paulo Coleho's books are gone by the second.i've just read the first 2 pages of the book, and planning to read more tonight. i should have bought eleven minutes the same time i bought Da Vinci last December!

my christmas money is slowly blown by the wind...

btw, yesterday, when i bought the book, jog asked me about my National Bookstore points, i actually dont really pay much attention to that, knowing these kind of rewards promo take up too much time and money before you can really earn and get something out of it..(but hey! i believed in Starbucks planner promo, and i did get my planner) but to my surprise, i have P110.00!!! and if that's true, i could maybe just add 100+ if they would have 11 minutes na! yey!!

so there..

i havent posted in a long while na pala...

i will post again later, and share with you the best buys i love!

take care!

read this!!!!

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?
brought to you by

I found out from Alex that Louise has a blog. And he found out about mine too. He forced me though…I asked him kasi what he got for Louise and what did she got for him this Christmas
Alexx: “Secret”

leche talaga si alexxx, talent niya yun eh, asarin ako. But he said basahin ko na lang sa blog ni Louise, I was shocked but really excited because finally I can read from someone I know personally. So immediately, I checked out her blog. Browsed through it lang kasi I was waiting for the bf to call. So later, after I post this, I’ll read all her posts.

Last night was Dang’s 21st birthday celebration. Her birthday really is on the 24th but since it’s Christmas Eve, not everyone could attend. And that happens every year. I was telling my mom, that for the longest time we’ve been friends, this would be the first time I’ll attend her birthday party. So this year, she celebrated it on the 26th. Before we picked up Jen & Nina, I needed a quick trip at Glorietta and get the birthday girl a gift and my other friends who will attend (aside nina and jen, coz I got them gifts already) their Christmas gift naman. My plan was earrings for Dang and something from Papelmerotti for Florida and Anne. Both shops I planned to buy on closed just as I was on their door. And so, my last resort…herBench. I got Dang cutesy panties, Florida two socks, and Anne hair spray. I left jog pa nga, kasi nag CR sya, and I told him sa Sak-O-Beads lang ako, but then it closed nga, and I feared everything will close and herBench was the last na, so I went there without informing him, tpos na sa akin pa cell niya. I finished shopping agad naman, but syempre he must be looking for me all over, buti na lang he’s patient. (bawi) On our way there, Anne who got there at 7p texted me and the girls that she will leave early cause there’s another party she and Robert needs to attend to. (it was Robert’s friend naman) When we got there, Anne was already outside waiting. But glad she stayed longer even if Robert arrived na. We exchanged gifts and Nina got me the best one, not because it was pretty pricey, but because she knew I wanted it. Anne gave us boy leg panties, Jen – Nivea Lip Balm, and Nina got me BS Lip & Cheek tint! I loved all their gifts naman, jen was nicely wrapped. Who doesn’t like gifts?

Later I find out that it was all Dang’s money spent on her birthday. She’s working na kasi. But we we’re all amazed and happy for Dang coz we know that, that’s the way she would want her birthday to be. We realize, at least someone from us is growing up!

This entry could get better if I could share with you our pictures. Tamad to get my phone eh. I finally bought my own copy of Da Vinci code, hoping I could finish it na. I wanted to buy 11 minutes but then I thought if I’ll buy it na, I would just be excited to start it then leave the Da Vinci code na naman.

Jog and I still haven’t gotten each other gifts. I know what I would get him na kaya lang, I just don’t have the time.( my fav excuse) I asked him out for dinner, my Christmas treat for him but he doesn’t know where I’ll be taking him. We passed there last night, I told him “Ay, dun oh, wag na lang”. Then he said “ha? Dun mu ko I-date?, we laughed and he said “Hindi talaga uso sa ating dalawa surprise noh!” Because on Christmas eve he asked me if I liked the color green na jacket from BAYO, coz that’s what he got me daw. Sabi ko “ssssssshhhhhh! Surprise mu nman ako” then he laugh, sabi niya, actually I haven’t bought it, pero I looked at BAYO and wala na dun yung gusto mu jacket, so sa Kamiseta, meron sila, yun nga lang green, I just wanted to know if you like the color. Crazy.

I was telling my friends that he’s vain. And bakla siya. Totoo naman eh. His friend bobot and I call him “45mins” kasi that’s how long it takes him to prepare when they go out. Sobra! And there was this time, he came from his OJT and he was wearing their uniform, tapos he changed his shirt, gray shirt. Eh blue yung pants niya, from our house to the mall he kept on checking out his attire and kept on saying “hindi bagay, uwi na tayo”.
Iba.
He was wearing the pants I wanted him to wear. He still wears baggy pants pa kasi, I told him mas bagay yung mejo fit. And last night, he wore not so tight fit worn out pants. Porma noh!

But I love that that’s how he is. He has good taste and rubs a little of it on me. Hehe I like bringing him along when I shop or most of the time window shop, the great thing about it is :

1.he doesn’t mind and does not complain
2.he gives his opinion and chooses which one’s better without sarcasm.

He sometimes tells me pa nga what to buy or what should I wear. Most of all, he appreciates when I look good on this or that. He sometimes even joke when I forget to put on some blush on which he calls “daya/ pam peke”, he would say “ay! Hindi mo na ako pinaghahandaan.”

I’ll be having my Print Media OJT at People’s Journal. We were supposed to report at the office kanina, but I could not get off the bed, 9am na me natulog. We had tequila at Nina’s place after Dang’s party. Tonet passed by here, to tell me it was ok I didn’t go, kasi wala naman daw yung head naming. She also got her West Ice cigs from my boyfriend. They like each other. Good for me.

Everyone who knows me very well would say, why not have your OJT on a magazine? I know! But due to pakikisama and lack of chance, I think I’m stucked there. But I’ll make sure that on January I’ll get that recommendation from the school and together pass my resume at Summit Media.

My bf was asking me kanina what time I’ll be going to report at work tomorrow. Sabi ko tamad na ako. But he said I should go kung gusto ko graduate sa March. “this is your last sem” Mas tatamarin ka pag wala ka kasabay. Buti na lang, good adviser si boyfriend.

LSS: Crazy for you: Spongecola
TO DO: give off old clothes
get jog a gift

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm very thankful that i'm able to spend Christmas with my family and friends...

hope everyone will have a good one!

my demand of a beautiful love story

Last night while having the usual phone conversation-before-we-go-to-sleep with my boyfriend, we looked back, a little flashback on the things that happened before it became “us”. So we went from asaran to me being pikon. I was, ok, insisting that he liked me that night I stayed at their house, while he said no, he was just being nice. And so I thought if that’s what he says he did, then maybe I just pushed this whole relationship with him. I mean, if I hadn’t admitted to Jen, her sister that I liked him, and if I had not talked to him consistently on the phone for days at that time, and had I been honest that I had a bf, (yes that time I had, but believe me that’s another story) it could have not been together.

That night, because of that crazy realization, I said a lot of things I didn’t mean, to the extent of saying, I wasn’t sure if this is what I wanted. I know, its really mababaw and good thing, jog is really patient and hindi na niya ako pinatulan.

I’m sorry, and its really mababaw, and childish. But the reason why I was upset about it, is because all along I thought we had a cute, romantic, funny love story I could share to those who would mind to know how we got together, and of course, if this was for keeps, something I could tell my kids and grandchildren. (I know very fast forward) and maybe even if things wouldn’t work for us, I know ours is a great love story and I would still tell my kids about it.

In my past relationships, I didn’t have that. And from the start of this relationship, I thought we had that love story I wanted, kaya nga I thought this was really different. And just like that, I felt I lost it.

He tried to appease me, but you know naman, whatever he says I wouldn’t believe him kasi at the back of my mind I’ll think that its not sincere and he’s just trying to make me happy and forget about the thoughts I had.

I know its hard to understand, and I know what’s important is now. That I’m happy, we’re happy, and he’s still the same guy I met 11 months ago. Maybe I just couldn’t accept the fact that at the beginning the feeling was not mutual.

P.S.
we're not talking. he's really mad na.

and zuv is back!

another day

I got another stamp for my Starbucks planner. I had to, I knew I had to spend my last P100 to a cup of coffee, for me to have my planner.soon.

On the way home, sa Bangketa ng Pedro Gil, where every vendor seem to take advantage of the holiday season “shopping” a white watch caught my attention. You see, ive went to all tiangges I know for me to find that big white watch, with no “tatak”. Yung hindi ako ma-chismis, kasi most of the watches I’ve seen are imitations of Guess, Dior, Gucci and the like. I didn’t want to have that kind of watch naman, and so when I saw the watch, I asked Manong if meron siyang tatak, I couldn’t see, I wasn’t wearing my glasses, and he said wala po, P100 na lang tapat na po. KACHING! Me, a fan of bargains couldn’t help but haggle pa rin, “Manong, baka pwede nmang 80 na lang” when in fact at the back of my mind it’s a steal coz I’ve seen a lot of these watches and the cheapest I’ve seen so far is P200. And so when Manong said, tapat na po with a smile, I said OK, and asked if the batteries are new. it is, so GO!

I went home with a new watch inside my yellow green -P100 bag, I’m naming it OPRAH, because for those who know, it’s her favorite color.

I don’t have classes tomorrow; I’ve already fixed a box from my cabinet, and found make up unused because they were stocked at the end of my cabinet. And so, I told myself before I shower, why not have a little play with the make up.

While writing this, I’m reminded of the strange girl’s blog…zuv.. I miss reading her.

And by the way, although I know a lot who hates Paris Hilton, I must admit she’s not getting into my nerves. Actually I kinda like her.

DA VINCI CODE: no progress

before i go to school

updating....

i got my Starbucks card na, i have to have 21 stamps and as of this writing, i only have 4 pa lang. Read Bianca and Iya's blog, Bianca's 8 stamps to go and Iya's 13 pa, according to Bianca, we'll be spending 2,100 to get that Planner. Jog said that when he knew how many stamps i would be needing, sabi niya it's impractical and i could get a cheaper Planner and it doesnt have to have Starbucks in front of it.

but i want and needed it.
after school, i have to drop by starbucks and get my 5th sticker!!!

Friendster..

i've been listing all of my classmates form elementary, esp those who didn't finished highschool in Sta.Isabel, somehow i felt i wanted to be connected with them, syang nman friendster account ko kung puro present friends ko lang nandun, besides that's the purpose of Friendster naman di ba. i wanted to do the searching and adding now, but i have a 1pm class.

which reminds me, ibabalik na yung first quiz namin and gosh, baka lagpak ako dun. Physics eh syet.

Market!MArket!

we went again last saturday, shopped a little crazy. i went home with 4 bags, 2 in each hands.
and it's slightly annoying to see everyone wearing flower brooches, but then i reminded myself everyone is allowed to wear it.

try to write something with sense later..

**Da Vinci Code --i'm not progressing!!!!!

the late Nov22 entry

LAST SALE OF THE YEAR

Last night, "we" (my mom,sister and i) went to Glorietta and survived it's last day of SALE.i bought two decent white pants and a lip gloss i would share with my little sister. my mom enjoys bringing us to the mall,of course Buding and I does enjoy too,kasi we would end up bringing home "something". On weekends, when we have nothing to do, my mom would always invite(sometimes, bribe us --with the promise that she will buy us what we want) us to go to the mall, divisoria, greenhills, or a newly opened mall.

SM - We've got it all for you

it was the first time i went to SM, actually i've been there a nuber of times already when they opened after their renovation, but it was my first time to see it finally organized (like what i really liked about SM Dept. Stores) with the left wing opened. when i went there kasi, sa center pa yung mga stalls, the right wing pa lang yung open, yung shoe section. i enjoyed going through their shoe and bag section, reasonably priced kasi.
Magazine

I've finally bought my November issue of seventeen Philippines! the only magazine i've promised to buy, since i want to save up for books instead. i've been in love with magazines since forever, and i've only realized i've got a collection, 4 years ago. BINGO
i miss having a BINGO store nearby, in Taft Ave. Cor. Pedro Gil, there was a Bingo Store, but now they have 7 eleven instead, actually in Pedro Gil, it has 3 7-eleven outlets on 3 consecutive sts. 1-near the Petron station, 2-across Taft Ave, 3- cor. Leon Guinto.BINGO kasi sells back issues of Vogue, Allure,People, and other foreign Mags, at a cheaper price. i've bought a Vogue, Gwyneth Paltrow cover, one of the thickest issue i have for P100. and by back issues i don't mean years ago, like for example now its Novemeber, there would be September issues that would cost you 100-150 depending on the magazine and usually the thickness of it. Ive bought quite a number of Allure mags, and it costed me P80 - P100 tops.

so there, if you also love magazines, as much i do, and you know a BINGO store nearby, i suggest you check it out.

another tip** if you think P150 Vogue is still pricey, you could wait, kasi they usually lower the price, lalo na pag marami pang copies, in a few weeks lower na yung price.just make sure they still have enough copies

**sa SM din nga pala, they have back issues,sa stationary section.

Poinsettia

In G4, there are Poinsettias.December is just a week away. I'm a little bit excited, of course, this would be the first Christmas of Princess (our dog) with us, my last Christmas as a student (i hope/yipee!) and it's also our (jog and i) first Christmas together. and i'm planning to buy my first MAC lipstick, due to too much reading of Erica Paredes' blog.hehe i have to ask her yet what she recommends me to buy.i'm also excited coz, i will have christmas money to spend on. the savings i have with tonet. yehey!

on my christmas list are:
pumps
blue haviannas
denim jacket
cheap flip flops
skirts

** i need to have the Starbucks 2005 Planner or the Powerbooks Planner!

BOOKs i finished reading-- Bridget Jones: the edge of reasoning, setting aside Da VInci Code, which i must continue reading, must pressure myself to read coz it's my tita's.Helen Fielding didn't have much surprise, it was quite a light read, Bridget didn't celebrate her/our birthday, and i wonder who will play Colin Firth when in the first movie Colin Firth was Mark Darcy.i pressured myself to finish the book last saturday in the fear that i would not make it till the release of the movie, only to find out it will be shown last week of november!
thank to kimi gurl who lend me the book, she also introduced me to four blondes.

i recommend:

if you would like your pictures from your cellphones printed, i suggest, you go to the kodak outlet in Glorietta hmmm i'm not sure if its 2 or 3, the one across Tower Records, near Nescafe Cafe. they offer the cheapest among those i've tried.

LSS (last song syndrome): My Boo
BOOK: Da Vinci Code (not even half way, the book has been with me foe 3 weeks now!)
FOOD CRAVING: none
TO DO: haven't done my to do list
