burpday treat
Posted at 10:01 AM

I finally got my sneakers for my birthday. My dad gave 'em to me. I can't find a pic so I'll just post something that somewhat resembles it.

Anyhoo, I went shopping with my family on my birthday which was just this Sunday. I bought 9 tops - 2 plain light pink and light white 3/4 tops' 3 bright orange, yellow, green tops, 1 yellow summer-ish top with lotsa sequins, 1 white and pink top that says "Authentic Blonde Bomber" (I'm not blond though...); 1 plain black basic tee; 1 black off-shoulder tee with a girl print and diamond studs. I also bought 3 freakin pants. I also bought my brother Puma sneakers since he also likes Puma. *haha*
So there. I'm regretting not buying a shirt that I really like. I should've bought it. *sigh* It's a plunging neckline black tee with a metal on the bust area and has a glittery design that says "gorgeous". Bahhhh!
So there. That was my burpday treat for myself.

Just got home from school. Its soooo farkin traffic. The travel from school to home and vice versa on average takes an hour. But now an hour and a half is something I should be thankful for. I'm so tired by the time I get home, but obviously not half as tired as my dad is. I wish he would just let me drive so I can drive for him whenever he feels the need to rest.

Okay, I'm browsing my friendster account now. *haha* Ciao!

I'm currently reading Girl Anatomy by Rebecca Bloom. I'm still on the first few pages and I find it kinda boring. She blabs about how all her friends are psyched about getting married and she's not and she thinks its bad. She's pretty desperate about her singledom. Don gave the book to me for my birthday, along with a Sophie Kinsella book Can You Keep A Secret.


Another book I'm reading is my DAQT (Decision Analysis and Quantitative Theory) book for my long test on Saturday.
Anyhoo, I found another nice make-up kit online. *sigh* I stopped buying make-up for sometime and it really makes me sad, oh there's a more appropriate term -miserable.
This kit is H-O-T.


Moving on, I was browsing through some pix in my files and I stumbled upon some cool pix.
love this tropical swimsuit.

nice ad.

paris hilton for guess.


I just realized that writing here is my escapism for studying. *hahaha* I don't wanna study. FCUK!

A Few Years from Now
Posted at 03:26 AM

WARNING: The following is purely fiction. It is not a real Q&A thus, it should not spread like a virus to college students.

What do you plan on doing when you graduate?
I have a terrible answer for this. I want to be either an employee or an employer. Employee, in a sense that I'd like to work for Preview magazine (which I adore). Or maybe for another magazine. But I don't have experience so they'll probably pay me like what, 4 grand per month? On the other hand, I'd like to be an employer and use some of the money I've saved,as well as some dough donated by my sponsors a.k.a. my parents, to establish my own business or continue on with my parent's business. My parents will prolly stick their tongue out when they read this, so I'll say that I'll work for them. Hopefully, in the future they'll think I'm worthy of their company.
I can also be both at the freakin same time!

Since you're in the management course, what business or businesses are you interested in establishing in the near future?
I have more silly and dreamy answers for this. Firstly, I want to be an entrepreneur and not a businessperson. I want to explain myself by saying that entrepreneurs are pretty much less greedy since they put up businesses to create more jobs. Businesspersons create businesses for they are business-minded. *haha* Gawd, I have a weird way of explaining things (no wonder I got a blah grade in my first Philosophy long test).
Moving on to my businesses, I'd like to put up my own local Mango shop. I want it to be a big hit. Selling like pancakes on a hot, sunny day. Also, I'd want to support local inventors by putting up a company for local inventors. Again, I have a stupid way of saying things so bear with me. A nice bar and resto is also a good idea, but not a good business at these times. The Philippine economy is currently suffering from fiscal crisis therefore decreasing the chances for a popular business venture to grow. The first word that comes to mind when I think of putting up a bar and resto at these times is "flop". Another dream of mine is establishing my own big company, I'm talking BIG here like a mall, a huge factory of some sort, or a hotel chain (ala Paris and Nicky). It'd be real nice to have a business venture with a husband or a loved one, but that's another story.

What income do you expect?
At least 6 freakin' figures a month. And I'm saying this and meaning it.

What are your other plans after graduating?
I'd have to be an expat in either Singapore or Australia. Both countries interest me. Singapore for the diverse people and economic growth. Australia for its economic development and beautiful people. Okay, development and growth in terms of economy is just the same. Sue me if you want to. Fcuk.

Who do you look up to?
Oh! Many. I look up to so many people that I can't explain each person. Here's my list - Donald Trump, Paris Hilton (not for her sluttiness!), Kate Moss, John Gokongwei, Eugenio Lopez Sr., Brittney Spears (what??? she's still cool yah know), Lucio Tan, Olsen Twins for their wealth cos they're worth billions (even though the other half has resorted to anorexia nervosa and cocaine).
Of course I look up to business icons for their perseverance and responsibility. As for the others, they're pretty. As in literally.

That's it folks. My future in a nutshell. I hope its not as broad as this q&a portion. I'd try to list more sometime.
Tata.

Philosophical Practices
Posted at 05:23 PM

I know it seems pretty odd that I'm writing something totally different as opposed to how you guys have known me. But the thing is, besides being a beauty and fashion junkie I also love Philosophy, politics, government issues, and writing. I've already said before that I want to be a Beauty Editor someday, but aside from that I also dream of becoming a serious writer, not of novels, but of columns in the newspaper regarding philosophy in relation to the government.

It seems obvious yet I still want to state it. Governments, for the past centuries, have been making some dents on the natural law of man. First, killing and abortion was okay, then it was forbidden. Second, homosexuality was allowed and tolerated by the Greeks, then it was disgusted, now it is accepted. Third, marriage was unnecessary, then it was important, now spouses can take it back through divorce, legal separation, and annulment. Fourth, pre-marital sex was allowed, then it was tolerated, now it seems as if it is even embraced.
The world is pretty much becoming (excuse me for the term) screwed.
These are my views, along with some research, regarding philosophy and the government and theology on marriage. Please feel free to leave me a comment on your side of the issue.


- On broken families and separated spouses -
One cannot claim that he or she is a good father or mother, but failed at becoming a good husband or wife.
Why?
Because being a good father goes hand in hand with becoming a good parent. One cannot claim the he or she is a good parent for they have already created a dysfunctional family for their children by not loving their partners in marriage. One cannot also claim that he or she is a good parent because a good parent (together with the spouse) provides the ideal environment for their child's upbringing. Moreover, the love of the parents for one another is what makes the children feel valued and think that they are irreplaceable as persons. Therefore, "when the love of parents is missing, the child feels de-valued as a person" because he feels that he is replaceable as if he were only a material thing for his parents are also able to replace each other with a new husband or wife.


- On homosexuality -
Why can't homosexuals be good leaders?
Leaders are models of the society. They set examples to the people who are subordinate to them. The society looks up to them for they need role models to be better persons themselves.
On the other hand, being gay is a disorder. It is an immoral disorder for it goes against the natural law of man that is, to act like a man or a woman and do what one's sexuality calls for them to do in the society. One common concept about homosexuals is that they live in a dysfunctional family where a gay man's father and a lesbian's mother give them inadequate or no attention at all; or the gay man's mother or the lesbian's father shower them with too much affection making the female (for gays) or male (for lesbians) role model in the family much stronger than the father-figure or mother-figure.
Because leaders are models of the society if they themselves are dysfunctional then they set a wrong example to the people who look up to them. When people look up to homosexual leaders it is a sign of a dysfunctional society. Just look at the Greeks and their history of homosexuality.

Just Another Entry
Posted at 10:56 PM

I finally got to blog! Its been a pretty long week. Read Statistics book last Sunday, did my part for our group project in CSR-IPD last Monday. Studied for Calculus last Tuesday. Finalized my part for IPD last Wednesday and tried to read again for DAQT.Studied for Ethics long test last Thursday. Then died last night for DAQT long test.

Yesterday was one of the longest days of my entire life. Firstly, I got to school at 7:00 just to study for Ethics even if I hadn't gotten a decent sleep the night before cos of the same freakin' subject. Then of course the long test part was bad enough to even just mention. Had my break from 1:30pm-6:00pm then realized that I din't have a 6:00pm class cos there was a consultation. There I was walking around thinkin whether I would continue studying for DAQT. In the end my bestfriend called me and told me she'd treat me out with her friends cos its her birthday. Since she just told me, I din't have the chance to buy her a gift. Outside Piadina (Mega Strip), we found ourselves bonding and smoking a bit. Kian, my bestfriend, dropped me off in Starbucks Pearl Drive cos I was gonna study there. I waited for my friend til 11:30. haha. I'm so patient. I dunno why. Goin back, we studied til Starbucks closed at around 3am then went to her place to study some more. I found myself on her comfy bed and fell asleep (even if I wasn't supposed to!). *haha*
Woke up at 7:00am then prepared for the long test (again) at 1pm.

Anyhoo, that was looooooooooong day or should I say two days? I just got home btw.
I'm so tired. I wanna rest! BUT before I do that, let me post some stuff to entertain us all.

love the bright green color! - i would never turn down a great fitting white tee!

i will worship PINK forever. - "Have I ever told you how much I love animal prints?"

Anger Management and Goodbyes
Posted at 04:47 PM


Good heavens! I feel to lazy to even begin re-writing my paper for a certain subject that I dislike very much cos of the professor. She's weirder than I am. Ugh. That certain professor once scolded me in our Study Hall just because she felt like it and cos she had a bad day and cos she was F-A-T. Arggghhh. I'm so mean. I'm not always like this, but some people are just so unreasonable. I was surprised when she scolded me when I approached her cos I wanted to consult with her. Long story. Now I'm mad.

Haha. What an entry! Moving on, I'm browsing through some people's bloggies and found some of my friend's blogs. I recently found out that my friend Joanne is gonna study in Singapore. No wonder she filed for a leave of absence! My stylish nonchalant friend is gone. Another blog I found was Bubbles Paraiso's. She was my classmate in Language 103 (that I eventually dropped) and Spanish 102. I think she also took a leave of absence. Nice and stylish girl. I feel sad that she had a haircut. I love her long hair.

Just got home from school and I'm eating some Japanese shitty noodles. Smells like shit tastes like crap. I know I still haven't gotten my zzzzzs but man, the food really was crap. If I wasn't that hungry and if I'd at least eatin breakfast then I wouldn't eat that sh*t. I'm soooooo farkin tired, but I'm not in the mood to sleep just yet. I wanna lounge around, watch some cartoons or ftv channel, and eat lotsa junkfood!
I miss blogging. I'm thinking of actually setting up a new account just for my emotional shit instead of writing here. This bloggy is supposed to be fun. Its supposed to show my "junkie" side cos I'm addicted to pretty things. I'm even addicted to pretty friends...kidding! I'm such a farkin psycho today. *hahaha*

Adios!

Rants and Raves for the Day
Posted at 09:38 PM

weight: 100 something (yes, I'm concealing it like an "old woman's age")
height: dang! i still have no clue. 5'3, 5'4, 5'5, 5'6... go figure!
cigarettes smoked: 5 sticks in 20 minutes (and I haven't even eaten breakfast at that time yet)

I still have a hang over from the movie Feng Shui. Twas pretty cool considering that its a Filipino movie. Okay, I'm biased when it comes to Filipino movies. Plus, I thought Kris Aquino would make the movie funny. Not in a mean way. I mean, I see her as a loud-celebrity-kind-of-way that watching her act seriously just doesn't seem to make sense. ANYHOOOW, the movie was cool. Nuff of that!!

Hmm...I weigh like sh*t nowadays. I'm so heavy I call myself "piglet". arghhh. [Please bear with my dramas in life.] I wanna be skinny again. Boohoo. Make that super skinny.

Moving on. My friend Charlene and I saw the cutest outfits today in Rob Galleria. She was lusting over this white denim mini (the cheerleader type skirt or whatever you call it) and I was crazy about the new beach-print tops in People are People. I want beach prints. Let me rephrase that: "I LOVE beach-prints on tops!" They're so cool, comfy, laid back, and so not me. Baah! I'm so girly girl... that it doesn't suit me. Chucks don't fit me. I always wear heels to school. Everyone's actually pretty weirded out when they saw me wearing the Puma sneakers cos it wasn't me. But the pinkness was me. So case closed.

*sigh* I hope Tami aka rasta chic gets to finish the cd she promised me by Monday. I can't wait. It's got the coolest music in the world. I love rnb and hiphop. I want club music now.

PS: I wanna wear a baseball cap for no particular reason. *haha*

Posted at 10:28 AM


That's my header for my xanga baby. Its pretty hard to keep two accounts and I have to say Tabulas is still my fave. Maybe cos I've done so much to it already and I worked real hard to make it glam. Also, this isn't personal and the entries are mostly my lust list and raves so I'm lovin it.
I miss bloggin. I got so much to do, man. I'm so screwed.
I hope I still have a brain left for my defense...
Wanna get drunk and forget all my worries. But then I don't drink...

Anorexia Nervosa
Posted at 08:34 PM

Why, the freakin hell, is photobucket screwed?! waahh. Got lots of pix in photobucket and I don't wanna be a drama queen, but most of the pix I post here are uploaded in photobucket. *sigh*

I'll be pretty busy tonight. I have a defense presentation tomorrow for Applied and Integrated Studies and I'm not too prepared. I don't even have notes for my defense yet. Also, gotta start studying for my Physics long test on Wednesday. I've been cutting a whole lot this month that's why I'm not sure what exactly will come out in the friggin test. I missed out on a lot of quizzes and notes. Waah. My academic life is screwed or better yet, my life is screwed.
Nah! Charlene's birthday bash is on Saturday! hmm and so is my Decision Analysis and Quantitative Theory (DAQT) long test. I'll prolly just sleep on her long test! *haha* I wish!
Can anybody just please talk about school?! Everybody's driving me nuts (yeah? since when did other people's lives concern me?) *hehe* I wanna be inspired. *sigh*

On to my Xanga account. I'm starting to hate my xanga account. I can't relate to the bloggers there. Everyone's from abroad and there are pretty scary anorexic girls there. They've got pix of themselves and their loose skins on the arms and legs from trying to lose weight. I'm sorry to say, but its pretty gross. Some of their bones are just too evident its scary. Anyhoo, its there choice if they want to lose weight, but its really bothering to just ignore them and let them lose weight in a bad manner. Some of their names include "food gross food gross", "we love ashley olsen", "dreamto115", "supermodel thin", and "model perfect". They've got food journals as to just how much calories they should take in a day which is 400 cal per day. They're all obsessed about the skinny model body. I gotta tell you that I, myself, am trying to lose weight, but to not eat for 3 consecutive days is just absurd. They've got stories about black outs from not eating and you read the comments that actually support her from avoiding food. Gawd.
Nuff of that.

I'm gonna wear a skirt on Saturday! Gotta be girly for no one!
