Rainy New Year's Day.

~♥~

Rainy days make me lazy.

They really do! And they also make me eat too much.

So can you already imagine how I spent the first weekend of 2011?

Binge eat. Sleep. Binge eat again. 

Oh wow! I hope it doesn't go on like that for the rest of the year! 

Anyhoo, Tim (The Boyfriend and I've decided from this day onwards to use his name and not just The Boyfriend anymore cuz he isn't just The Boyfriend) was so ecstatic about watching Tron because of the positive feedback we both have been hearing all over the globe and by that, I mean, by word of mouth, web, news and wherever else. We decided to watch it on Sunday, the 2nd day of January, cuz we didn't want to spend the first day in the cinemas and not that it's even open on that day. So after overloading with French Fries from McDonald's the night before we were ready to conquer Tron. After going to mass with his family we headed straight to the city despite the non-stop pouring of the rain just to get to the first show only to find out that the Tron movie is not going to be showing until 6:30 PM  :| SM Cinema totally burst our bubbles right there. Hpft! Tim was sort of upset cuz we got there too early, about twelv-ish and he suddenly lost interest with anything at all and by that I really mean anything. And he's got this really hurt look on his face... well, who wouldn't after braving the rain and all? We could've just stayed at home and watch movies with TT (the laptop). 

Tim rarely smiles, but that's his smile. Hahah!

I had to make a plan so I could get his good mood back. We later found ourselves standing outside this 4D mini theater and found ourselves laughing at the people inside who's enjoying the pseudo-rides of their lives. And of course, I convinced him to try it :) We took the Speed Coaster which was their best seller and my second time to take a shot at it but it still left me breathless somehow! It was all good @P120/scene/5mins and they're located on the 4th floor, beside the department store adjacent to toy Kingdom :)

Excited to go! ♥

Excited to go, too. Hehehe...

We had lunch after a few minutes of walking around - we had to get rid of the sickening feeling first before gobbling anything up.

All I had for lunch. The DIETING must start ASAP. 

Yes, I must start dieting ASAP because I've been doing nothing else but eat. Oh my! And that's totally unacceptable. What body will I be showing in the summer if I can't control myself from eating too much?

Anyhoo, how did the first two or three days of your 2011 went so far?

Yes, 2011 I'm definitely ready to take a bite off your head! Hehehe...

Bring it on cuz from now on I'll be your happy tiger bunny :D

And before I finally end this entry... Lookie what I found:

Make me smile. Leave me just three words when you can :)

Leave it here :)

Hope you all had great rainy days, despite of. There should always be a reason to be happy and for a smile to cross a face, right? :)

on a perfect day,

A Reminder on a Christmas Morning :)

~hoodlum smile ;p

"We always lose the people we love. (ouch! but it's true!) So, be good to your parents because you never really know as to when they will be gone for good. Tell your siblings you love them before their anger on you consumes them. Remind your friends how much you appreciate their presence while they're still around, the next person you meet might be a foe. Lastly, you've probably heard of this like a thousand times, but let me just repeat it: if you love someone don't hesistate to let them know everyday how much you love them (because people do forget!) & how much you appreciate their presence -- you never really know how long they can stay or how long they can put up with you taking them for granted." ~tSin

Crossed blog from my multiply journal. Helpful lucid thoughts of a nineteen year old. Heheh...

Btw, The Boyfriend and I already exchanged gifts on Thursday instead of the planned Friday shopping spree. We were just too excited plus we also figured we need to be home to help out with the Christmas eve prep ups. Anyhoo, we lavished our taste buds with La Tegola's sumptuous cuisine at lunch after touring the mall. Super busog afterwards that all we could do once we got home was to... sleep.

Imma take pictures of what I bought for him and what he bought for me and still about to buy for me later (yes! there definitely is a day 2! he couldn't get enough of spoiling me! hahah!). I will have to be lady Santa Claus for today :) Have a good Christmas day all!

*kisses*

thankful,

~tSin

Later...

I've bailed out on the other and starting out anew :) Find out what in a while! Busy, busy!

x♥XO,

No One Sleeps While I'm Awake!

~Ryan and Tinay

~Ejang and me

No fear at all to wear these head-dresses and hats all around the city because fact of the matter is... everyone's wearing one, too! Taking the opportunity to roam around shamelessly with these! :D

Naghasik ng lagim, that is :)

And yes, welcome to the world... Mayeehhnn! :)

~left to right: Ejang, Mayen, Sani, Myna, Tinay, and Ryan :)

~A mini reunion with Mayen and her tita Myna :)

It was very fun spending the whole Saturday afternoon with these wonderful girls from my short-lived years in undergraduate Psychology! I don't usually get to spend time with these girls, but every time spent with them is really fun and de-stressing! Never mind the fact that my whole legs get sore from all the walking! It was all worth it!

We also tried that virtual roller coaster ride which absolutely took our breath away! I forgot the name but it is located on the 4th floor of SM City Cebu adjacent to Toy Kingdom. Price is @ 120/person/ride which lasts for about 5minutes! But believe me, it's really, really fun! It's amazing how people's minds work! You could think for a while that you're in a real roller coaster ride! Hahaha!

Anyhoo... Moving on to something Christmassy...

Here is my number one wishlist for this Christmas is this:

I am in size S or M :) You can visit Soak here. They've got all the lovely swimwears in the whole world! The best of its kind yet in Philippine swimwear revolution! I really, really love it like super! So please do care to get me one for Christmas! Hahaha! I'm hoarding for the summer! ;)

my head is garbled,

~tSin

So please do accept my garbled writing. It's hallow's eve and I'm either... excited or afraid! Idk, really.

I'm just starting to get dizzy, too!

When The Boyfriend is Asleep

at their place...

The Girlfriend will take pictures of herself :p

This is why I couldn't sleep at all when I am home alone. I am too vain to postpone pictorials of myself! Tsktsk.

Boyfriend: (checking on me via SMS) What are you doing?

Me: Closing my eyes and counting the holes on the ceiling. Trying to get some sleep!

Oh liar! When in fact, I am all too giddy to send my reply so I could... take pictures of myself again! Hahah! Crazy!

And I was actually reorganizing my closet (thus the picture up, up, up above :D) in between striking poses for an invisible audience. Here is the result:

The top 3 colors in my closet?

3. Black
2. Pink
1. Blue

I was really surprised, too! I thought I've had too many blacks I could ban myself from buying another black dress yet again but... I really don't have enough black at all. I might be filling in the closet with some more flowery prints and the basics: nude, white, and cream? I've got to work on the shoes, too! I am terrible when it comes to such feet comforts! :o

It's Thursday finally! I am sooo looking forward to the weekend because I will be meeting with three of my most gorgeous college girlfriends on Saturday! I am definitely excited! ♥ It sure is going to be a mini reunion!

centralized,

~tSin

P.S.

I didn't have the guts to take a picture of my before-the-reorganizing-look closet because... it's way too crowded and messy! I can't bare it to all of you. Heheh...

P.S.S.

Totally sad about Indonesia :( Please, let's spend a minute to pray for them.
They had earthquake, then tsunami, and finally a volcanic eruption all in 24 hours!
Super sad!

Poladroidnia!

I just found a really cool software to convert ordinary photos to awemazingsome Polaroids :) I just thought I'd share the happy find with you all so we all could enjoy its beauty and convenience, of course!

Here are a few samples:

OF MYSELF.

OF THE BOYF.

making a super duper cute and funny look!

OF MY FAVE PHOTO OF US TOGETHERRRR <3

from a summer in Badian

OF MY BFF GETTING MARRIED (A sneak peek, yeah!)

download here :)

TRULY AMAZING!

Supposedly, I should be posting that letter to my parents. But I left my handy-dandy notebook in the office. And I haven't scanned it yet... So, here's something useful in exchange for the delay. I hope you have fun making those Polaroids! And oh! Yes, there is a limit to that. Just like a real Polaroid stack... You can only make up to 10 Polaroids in every session -- with every session I think that would mean every 24 hours? I'm not really sure. I have yet to check. But for now, you can definitely go ahead and download it. Experience the POLADROID magic! :)

thinking hard,

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!

IT'S DECEMBER -- FINALLY! The month we've been waiting all year round! Let me be the first to say...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! =)

I really believe this is most people's favorite season of the year because it's my favoritest, too! :) Can you smell the scent of pines and nuts and winter? I know... we don't have winter here... YET! But please since it is Christmas please allow me to dream on some!

And by the way, the number one on my Christmas Wish List is...

*drum roll*

THIS =)

Nothing beats a good music for the holidays really. I love Christmas songs!

11.30.09 | 07:15:23 | i don't write nights anymore

Too much of the good thing... they say that even the greatest things of all never last. Everything has an end. And that is true... but I think... only if you choose to. There will always be days you could use to relive the good times and some days you can spend for mourning.

As for now... it's a holiday here in the P.I. Not a very big holiday as the Thanksgiving but a holiday to commemorate the greatness of one of our heroes who helped fight to give us back our freedom - Andres Bonifacio. I wonder what everybody else is doing right now although I am pretty sure I am one with them in enjoying the perks of what our heroes fought for: FREEDOM AND NO CLASSES! Too bad I cannot say... "NO WORK!" cuz I will surely be at my desk again tonight giving free psychoanalysis to customers and making sure that their issues get resolved at the end of the day otherwise they'll be back on the phone the next day for another fifteen minutes to an hour - what a way to waste time! On the brighter side, I get some additional pay for working on a holiday. Another perk for having and working holidays. My deepest gratitude to our dear heroes! You've surely made this life of ours more fun and liberating!I love it!

For the past five days I lived like a normal student sans work cuz I took some days off [we were supposed to go to the mystic island of Siquijor, however plans changed and so we decided to stay here -- more of that in a while!] but plus late night outs and almost sleepless nights and then there's a small session with booze. Forgive me, but it has been a very looong time since I last had a date with it [booze]. And with friends by my side... who could resist? I sure will be sent home safely and soundly. During the days I am a regular student - waking up early and prepping up and getting to school just in time! I kinda forgot I was actually employed somewhere. *sighs*

Here are some photos: =)

~there's Teddy at the center and we're all laughing
cuz our legs hit the bars as we try to pedal. hahah!

~this is just sooo Christmassy! don't you love it? :)
i can definitely smell Christmas already!

~swing, swing, swing!
reminds me of the good old grade school days.

~and then we went Go-Carting =)
it was really fun! i wanna DRIVE!

~our tickets and my girlfriends =)
LOVE!

WE SURELY HAD FUN IN FUNLAND! :)

And I guess this should be it for now... I will have to enjoy the rest of my vacation until tonight!

A Pleasant Ashley-Surprise!

Her voice was like angels singing from the heavens when I heard her call my name from across the street. And the moment I saw her gleefully waving with eyes sparkling and perfect whites beaming... I realized it's been AGES since the last time I ever saw her! I couldn't help giving her a very tight embrace the moment I laid my hands on her Hahah! I just miss this baby so much and couldn't stop myself from being gigil...

And look! She really hasn't forgotten her signature pose just yet! =)

This kid is definitely a cutee!

And I also took a picture of myself with her... Of course! I won't let this moment pass! No-no-nope! =)

She's really funny and smart and everything! I would adopt her if I could! She's really one of the persons in the world that can make my gloomy day bright!

love surprises,

11.05.09 | 05:24:44 | welcome to the new de ja vu

Last Sunday, I started to write something like this...

Today is All Saints day. Everyone else is busy and probably on their way to the cemetery to visit their loved ones who have gone ahead.

Today is my ex-boyfriend's birthday. Penn Badgley happy birthday! I love you!

...but then dearest Firefox died on me or not really died but well it was acting up pretty crazily and with the amount of patience that I have I decided I should just blog some other time. I was also vehemently sick at the time with runny nose and... enough said. So here I am trying to make up to you guys once again for the lost times. Ugh. How many times do I have to apologize for my laziness huh? I don't have reasons... just excuses, it's pathetic. Although I did manage to rant a little yesterday or a couple of days ago or I'm not really sure. Haha! And if you want to know what I whined about... you can read it HERE. Don't blame me if you read it... I know! It's sooo drama-ish. Yes, you can puke. I wouldn't mind.

So... as you may have already noticed most of my previous blogs were just really quick updates and I didn't realize it much as now, but I'm thankful to whoever invented Twitter. With Twitter no idea is ever lost as long as I've got it up and running... it's really wonderful to just be blabbering about anything and not caring much who reads it or not. I don't even get much RTs or replies, but I really don't mind at all cuz I just want to tweet. It's an amazing mind and heart detoxifier. Today I am officially in love with Twitter... it has become part of my happiness. So screw to those people who tries to take my happiness away. :( Why would they want to do that? That's sooooo cruel, isn't it? Going back... I'm sorry I'm losing track... Well, yeah, it's been a really busy couple of weeks. Work stuff. And then there's school (gawd! I can't believe I'm back to school!). Although school isn't really going to start prolly until next week, as of date they're still wasting our time making us go to school with nothing to do, as in NOTHING. I've also had some issues I needed to deal with and I've been sick during the weekend (as I've already mentioned ;)). *sighs* I'm still on the path of recovery now - not totally healed just yet. Every now and then I get really dizzy and the world seems to turn and I remain on the ground... isn't that weird?

Ho-hum. Sometimes, I feel like I'm Kristin Cavallari from that MTV series Laguna Bay Beach. It's like everywhere I go follows drama. Yes, I'd like to puke please. Well, it's like I never get well from being sick. Ok. I get better for a week and then after a couple of days I'm sick with something else again. Then my faulty-wired brain races and races and races... I get lost and then found. It's an endless vicious cycle. =( I wonder when that will ever stop huh? Or will that ever stop? Who knows? Sometimes, I feel like I hold back too much inside... anger (mostly), love, my ability to do something extraordinarily (cuz f*ck I must admit I can get too lazy sometimes!) and there are words which I could never bring myself to verbalize. I say that I have moved on from past experiences worth forgetting, but I often find myself digging into them and making them part of the present when I'm not supposed to anymore. Sometimes, I like to pretend I'm someone else and that I am somewhere else in another time. It's just easier that way. Right? But then yes... I've got a reality and a present, a now to face. I wish I am braver. *sighs*

You're probably bored already with all of my blabber of gobbledygook-iness. Sorry. A little distraction might help... pictures anyone? Yes? Ok. These are quite past-tense already, but I wouldn't mind sharing. Here are some photos from our team outing a couple of weekends ago at the southern tip of the province, Boljo-on.

~the group picture, inevitable.
one just can't leave an outing without this! =)

~our very cute guest, Juno's daughter Xierra
well, looking at the photos it seemed like it was Xierra's day-out
and we were merely chaperon

~our first time guest Michelle (left)
she looks really pretty here, doesn't she?

~another first time guests, Jacel and Mike

~and of course William (a.k.a TLJ or True Love ni Julie hihi)

And here are my favorite shots:


~this can surely pass for an advertisement photo! =)

~spells F.U.N :D

~a captured smile

~spooky house I must say.
in coordination with the spooky place. brh!
i like how it looks surreal.

~and yes, my favorite picture of myself. ;p

Well, that made me forget a bit. ;) Ahhh... thanks for the happy times worth reminiscing. And I guess I've got to bid goodbye for now. I'm really not feeling any better in all honesty. Plus my nose is currently suffering the aftermath of tortured runny nose... it's so gross. Hmpft. Ok. Enough. I could go on and on with the complaining.


still and transfixed,

10.09.09 | 00:20:39 | get a can opener

Hello there dearies... Good news! I'm alive. Yezzz! This is an update regarding the previous blog about my leg hurting and all. Guess what? I'm now a certified drug addict. Haha! Kidding really. Well... it's just that I've been taking in a lot of medications lately due to different illnesses: stomach ache, colds and cough, and then the left leg pain craze. Hmmm... I guess I shouldn't be complaining cuz all is well with me now. Thanks to the very helpful doctors and the medications. I'm now a happy little kitten :) I feel like doing this cuz I'm sooo happy the left leg pain is nothing really serious just some muscle spasm or something...

YAY!!! =)

Tomorrow or later today rather I'd be watching Gossip Girl epi 4 and I couldn't wait and if I won't be too sleepy I'd probably start watching Dexter season 4 as well! :) Weee! At least I've got something to look forward to! And look at this:

Serena is undeniably cute right there and Nate looks so gay, no offense.

And that should be all for now. I've got to go and make a living before anything else ;)

i'm not a teaser,

P.S
Thanks to all of those who prayed for me. *kisses*

P.S2
I've added a pingbox to my site so you can now leave me a message anytime ;) DO LEAVE ME A MESSAGE, ok? =)

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 STORMY weekend.

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!);

-reading this and this book =);

-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!

what else kept me busy... *thinking tight*

OH OF COURSE!

-watching The Vampire Diaries series. Elena is really pretty!

-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 don't wannna wait,

-tSin
