~MERRY CHRISTMAS! Less than a month to go or so I think! :)
I can't believe I've been gone for almost a week after making a seemingly stiff promise on never to skip blogging ever again most especially the thirty-day challenge! I am truly sorry. I really am, from the bottom of my heart... my deepest and sincerest apologies. But since I've been gone too long... I am back with a blast and loads of photo-flooding. And I hope you wouldn't mind at all!
***
I'm totally gonna be retrospecting for the longest time on how awesome these dudes are! Wiki may classify them as part of the pop rock band (which I really don't agree 100% on!) but man, no matter how their age shows on their face it doesn't change a thing! They're still as cool as the time when I listened to them back in the 90's. To have shed those good amount of moolah and risking standing for a couple of hours or so didn't really stop me at all from going. This is the first international concert that I've ever been to and what's most wonderful is that they're not some band I pretend to like just for the heck of it! I truly adore them and love their songs like beyond the heavens super!
When we first bought the tickets... I honestly didn't feel the strongest desire nor excitement to watch them and I was like "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU TSIN?" Prolly, I was thinking too much about the money spent or I just had too much stuff going on in my head at the time or whatever. It was short-lived however! I think it kind of sink into me after a couple of days and found myself flying into a Gin Blossoms kind of high singing their songs and putting it in replay for millions of times until I could already prolly replace Robin Wilson from his place. Hahahah!
Robin Wilson, Gin Blossoms' lead vocalist (who is sort of addicted to the tambourine;)), is definitely the man of the show! He's actually the crowd favorite, aside from Scott Johnson the ultimately hyper guitarist! :) I love how Robin sounds like the person I listen to in the mp3 player! I will never get tired of listening to him sing! He's an angel who I believe could shamelessly belt out some good Taking Back Sunday hits! I swear he's got that youthful timber in his voice! If I'd close my eyes I could be fooled that he's just some twenty year old dude making his way to stardom or fame or something. Anyhoo, get more band info from here.
The guys I went with that night! Wonderful and amazing guys who've been best friends forever! Even before I was born! JK. I bet someone's gonna kill me if he finds out I said even before I was born. Hahah! I do thank these two for making the whole night more memorable and fun ;)
The rest of the night was spent checking out the night bazaar in I.T park and karaoke at G-mik. Yes! Just the three of us indeed! But the good thing? We had the microphone all to ourselves! We spent about two hours just singing to our hearts content!
And lookie what I've found at the night bazaar:
Bubble Bee Tea House stall! Uh, actually the photo shows their menu. But who cares?! It's Bubble Bee in the middle of I.T Park! OMG! Very affordable and healthy and truly one drink that would drive your gloomy day or night away! :)
***
Fast forward to Monday... The Boyfriend and I decided to sport a new look. And look at how we transformed from beautiful to beautifulest :) Hahaha!
Although I still have to go back to the salon today to have my hair re-curled. If that's still possible cuz I lost the receipt, but I hope that they would recognize my face though! :|
Anyhoo, let me leave you with this picture. The best I've ever captured yet from my phone that night (yes, all photos were taken using my phone, Walkie).
Robin Wilson says "HELLO ZE-BUU!" He does pronounce it like sebo as in that greasy eeky stuff in your plate! I don't know how to describe it completely though. But I think you do know what I mean ;)
I will heal the ruins left inside you cuz I'm stIll here breathing now... ~Low Shoulder, Through the Trees

Hello everyone... I've had too many attempts to create a post. All I can say right now is... I'm sorry I've been MIA. It's been a really busy and hectic and what not December! And though I'm sort of broke now (as if that's anything new at all!) it doesn't matter cuz I've bought presents for everyone and I'm happy and that is all that matters! I can't wait to see my loved ones' faces light up when I hand them their cute little presents! I especially enjoyed wrapping the said presents! Here's a sampler:
It's a pink-themed Holiday for me! :) I'm not gonna blab a lot today cuz seriously I feel like my brain is quite disintegrated right now. So I'm just gonna post up some photos from the "parties" in the past week.
First, we had our very own Dispatch Christmas Party - nothing really major. Just a small gathering and exchanging of gifts at the La Tegola restaurant. The food in that restaurant is superb at its highest level of superb-ness =)This is surely a must-visit, must-dine for the Italian cuisine lovers.
Unfortunately, no labels for the food :( They're just sooo Italian I couldn't even read them! Hahahah! More photos:
Camwhoring after dinner can be a substitute for dessert! :)
The dress girls and Gee with a crazy pose in the background.
The boys standing proud outside the restaurant.
Then here's me! I've got two new books from Paolo Coelho! Thanks to my manitaLois for being so generous and for making me happy! Now I will surely have something to read for the days that I won't have classes! :) HOOORAH!
Now we move on to our Department's Christmas party at the restobar, Formo. Black and white is the theme! And everyone did really enjoy that night even me who lost the gift my manita Julie was supposed to give me. Because I was sooo excited and giddy... I left the TopShop shirt in the cab :( *sniffs* Well... I'm not really sad cuz I lost that shirt, that particular shirt that I've been wishing to have... I am sad cuz Julie is one of my special friends and the fact that the gift is from her and I lost it... breaks my heart. *sighs* I just couldn't get over it until now... whenever I look back and remember. Isn't that sad? But I think the lesson that I've learned that night is that if God takes something away from you He's bound to give you something greater --- probably not the one you really wanted but something that He knows you deserve to have. I WON THE GRAND PRIZE FOR THE RAFFLE DRAW OF THE NIGHT! =) Julie's prayers were heard! It's still a happy Saturday Party Night after all ;)
And the pictures:
Me and Gelou checking out our outfit before heading out for the party.
L-R: Julie, Gelou, and Mae Ann getting ready to party =)
There's the outfit. I look fatso-tic. Hmpft.
Assorted hot shoes =)
And the hot girls who wore them :)
And the boys being gay! Hahaha! Almost perfect! Changed our outfits. Getting ready to hit the stage for our presentation! We danced to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. ;) Ainie's hot outfit! :) I especially love the shoes! And if only the dress was shorter I would've fallen in love with it, too! :)
Lastly, the after-party photos. Some were really scandalous I couldn't bear to post them here! Hahahah! Even though it is not of me or my friends ;)
Juno dancing with the Tourist-turned-Congressman. Hahaha! I changed outfits three times in one night! :)
=) After one bottle of Beer with Green Tea -- I was like "I've got to go guys!" And off to the hotel I went and slept. Almost got in trouble with The Boyfriend because I forgot to text him that I got to the hotel safe and sound cuz I was such a Dizzy Girl!
And here is my favorite picture of that night:
The classic black and white photo in a dance floor. Find me! :)

Why do I need to feel pain or sadness to write anything at all? I guess that's just how it's got to be with me huh? I think I am very uninspired lately. Look, I messed up with this other blog, it's not right at all! :( I've got to get my act together... you've probably read that in most of my blogs for the gazzillionth time it's already boring. But really and seriously, I've got to. And I think I should buy a new pen later so I could write on my journal again! I can't believe how true my G-tech madness really is. Since I've lost it, I just haven't written in my journal in ages at all! And I think I should focus on the "food-cutting" cuz I am sooo fat and I weigh 54kgs already! Nooooooo! I should panic now, right? Hmmm... Let me not be too hard on myself... I'll do food-cutting and crunches again otherwise I will just bloat on forever! The list of I-should's could go on and on and on. I've got to realize them. I've just got to. Hmpft. Too much about that... I don't wanna rant anymore about myself or about my condemned fatness. It's October I've got to shape up! Ugh. I sound so lame today... I will have to blog again later when I'm sober and not at all groggy. Nope. I didn't spend my Saturday night drinking! But I am definitely drunk with Stars. Their music is just sooo wicked and amazing! I love them cuz they make me feel INFINITE, prolly that's why they named their band Stars. Hmmm... Listen to them, too! =) Yes you should! And I swear you won't regret! don't be afraid to sing, -tSin

09.26.09 | 05:48:12 | weathering the storm
It's been raining endless (scratching that cuz I might have been exaggerating)for days and there's a storm coming... so, hello STORMYweekend.
I am such a loser... I haven't posted anything at all for the past days. I'm sorry. But I swear I'm gonna fill you up today with news about yours truly.
I guess the main reason why I wasn't able to write or blog is that I got too busy doing OTs (working mostly from 9pm to 9am) and I swear I've been having headaches cuz we've got very high call volume during the past couple or three weeks. I must admit... it was all too exhausting, I almost got sick! But good news dearies, my tummy is now working at its best! Thanks to the very efficient Doctor who prescribed me those very helpful medicines... now I'm stomach-ache free! Yay! I should celebrate, I should. =) And of course, I should remind myself now and then to give the snobs to sodas and coffee (although I seldom, seldom, seldom drink coffee!) and anything else that is acidic so that my stomach could fully recover from its almost dead state. I sure do feel lots better than before I started taking those meds. Gosh! I cant' believe how I've become such a drug addict in a short period of time. Hahaha! Of course I am kidding on being a drug addict! I swear I'm not!
Ok. Enough about that and let's move on. So... while I was away... I spent most of my limited free time on:
-catching up with sleep (sleeping at night is still the best remedy and the best way to detoxify!);
-watching some movies with The Boyfriend (we've finally finished watching the Terminator Salvation! Christian Bale was sooo hot in that movie!);
-I found a link for that movie 500 Days of Summer (I definitely love their OSTs! And I swear Zooey Deschannel does look like a lot like Katy Perry!!!) so I started to watch it but I got too lazy and impatient waiting for the stream to load I had to stop watching it after 45 minutes;
-a bit of shopping! I finally got myself these:
actually, The Boyfriend gave me that =) Included in the shopping were two new pair of jeans and a couple of dresses which I really, really LOVE (I don't have a picture of it yet though, but I'll update you as soon as I have!) I'm still looking forward to buying a few more dresses.
-celebrating our 14 months together over a sumptuous breakfast of pancakes and ground pork and corned beef and a heart-warming mushroom soup!
-convincing The Boyfriend to go to the beach on a rainy day. I sooo wanted to go because I had a new bikini to flaunt! Haha! But of course I didn't tell The Boyfriend that and it also wasn't the primary reason why I wanted to go anyway - I just wanted to get away from the city for a while and be with him and only him on our special day really :)
so to the beach we went :) if you wanna see my skimpiness, you can click HERE but don't blame me if you wouldn't like what you see! haha!
-watching the whole new season of GGX (as in Gossip Girl. I just wanna call it GGX!).
I guess... I was just living life the way God wanted me to live it... I am enjoying every moment of it! No matter how tiresome some days got and no matter how I wanted to give up already! Be proud of me cuz I'm still standing strong and HAPPY. =)
And oh! Yesterday, I had my fill of all of my cravings! Well, except for one: POPCORN! But Julie brought some Mojos from Shakey's and I was überly delighted! And then mum brought home some pomelo, lanzones, and sweet corn! I was very, very full - I definitely felt so bloated afterwards! I guess I will never be able to tell my success story on losing a good number of weight without dieting. Ugh! Eating is just too heavenly good to be said no to, right? Who can say NO to FOOD?! Nobody. Unless you're really crazy about your weight or something like it's already psychotic.
Ho-hum... I am just glad -super glad- that it is the weekend already! I could sleep the whole day and then prolly, if it doesnt' rain, go out with Lois and Juno later tonight at The Outpost to catch some good music (I've read from the B.I.T.E Mag that the place is going to play some Ska tonight. We'll see.) and then just enjoy the rest of my days off relaxing or sleeping, per se.
By the way, I just found a new craze (aside from my regular music-hunting)! Let me call it Tsin's Looklet Craze. =) I just love it and it's definitely soooo addictive! Haha! Here are my masterpieces (some beginner's stuff, really. nothing major!):
~they're pretty safe designs and mix-matches. I always want to stay with comfort and elegance and a bit (just a tiny bit) of craziness ;)
And right now, I am most looking forward to watching the Inglourious Basterds -- like supermassively! I've been waiting for sooo long so please let me watch already! Then there's the whole new season of Dexter by Monday! I couldn't wait as well!
Alright, time to wrap up now. I've got to go. Let me leave you with this picture of mine -- me wearing the neon pink sunglasses and crazy polka dress! I feel like a kid! Haha!
Is it me? Or is it really? Whenever those weather forecasters tell us there's going to be a storm the sun shines brightly outside... Hmmm... But yeah, I am aware that in another part of the world some are struggling to survive the very strong winds and the chilling rain and of course, praying that their homes won't get lost in the storm. I'll be praying for them, too.
I am really, really, REALLY almost out of breath right now! Because I just found out that the loveliest and most talented and artistic person alive (in my book!) KATY PERRY is going to have a concert in Manila, in SM MOA to be exact, on the 3rd of October 2009 and that's a Saturday! Yes! I've written that right - she is going to Manila to grace us with her awesome music and style! I couldn't help being sooo excited about it. The tix prices range from a good Php400 (but for sure that's gonna take you waaaayyyy to the back of the concert area!) to Php3,500 (if you've got money to splurge and you really love Katy Perry you should take that, I say!) - not very bad, right? EDIT: Here's the seat map for the concert (just so you can see how far the Bronze seats at Php400 are!):
Sooo... Did I already say that I'm very excited about her concert? Haha! I truly, really, certainly am! After reading this article about the concert details I then logged on to CebuPacificAir.com to check on the prices for the flights and guess what I've found? They are actually running this Php1000.00 off promotion for all flights EACH WAY! And I found very good prices for the flight: P3,867.20 for two people, roundtrip! Isn't that heavenly AMAZING and not to mention fabulously AWESOME?! Oh my! I haven't bought the flight tix yet cuz I still have to confirm if I can really go and will also have to consult The Boyfriend plus I don't have a credit card (nope, not anymore.) to use to purchase the flight tix :(( As for the Cebu Pacific promo there is a code that you can use so you can get the Php1000.00 off each way ;) The code? TWEET. The promotion is also good for some other destinations as well -- I've checked on Clark and Singapore, too. Just because. Hehe...
~yes, the poster.
OH I HOPEAND WISH ANDPRAY THAT I CAN WATCH KATYPERRY'S CONCERT!That would be a very nice advance Christmas gift if I could go! I really, really, really wanna go - like seriously.I really am a big fan of Katy Perry! I swear! And if anyone, as in anyone at all, could get me tickets to Katy Perry's concert FOR FREE... God bless you! =)
And btw, Katy Perry will also be playing with Boys Like Girls... so if you're not sooo into Perry then prolly the Boys Like Girls band will give you consolation. Nevertheless, it's going to be a great one cuz Katy Perry will be there! And I am soooo excited. Irrational cuz I'm not even sure yet if I could really go at all, but I am very, very hopeful that I could. Hmmm...
Anyhooser, here are some photos of Katy Perry and you can check more of this right here: iheartkatyperry
to going home and I hope and wish and pray that aside from Granny and Pop who are regular people of the house during the day - I will be alone so I could make all those mixtapes that have been running to my head and burn loads of discs so that I can free up more spaces in the computer. And just in case I forget... I've got to download songs from these people:
Colbie Caillat - Oxygen Black Kids The Doors The Smiths That song "ASLEEP"
Make album copies of Taking Back Sunday.
*sigh* I wish I will have the house alone! I wish!
Yes yes! This kid definitely deserves her own space and entry here in my blog because she just took my heart completely with her! After my friend JC posted this link on his FB, I just couldnt' stop watching it! She sooo reminds me of my niece Ashley -- I miss her! I guess I will just have to watch this video so I won't miss her very much! source. Have a good laugh and enjoy! I'm sure you are going to love her, too! Btw, she's just 4 yo!
