I could've been on the second term's Dean's List, had I gotten a 4.0 in PE. I was thinking of asking, maybe even begging, my prof to up a notch my grade so that I get to be on the list. I was seriously considering it last night, when I realized that I didn't deserve to lose that chance of being on the Dean's List just because of a subject that's supposed to be a sure 4.0. But then I know that's

Going through fashion editorials online as I'm waiting for my PHILOPE grade in my MLS account. Gah, I'm so stressed over that subject! Good thing this particular editorial entertained me for awhile - I love the clothes and the styling in this one!CreditsMagazine: Harpers Bazaar US, January 2010Photographer: Greg KadelModel: Anja RubikPhotos from here

Saturday Highlights

2009-12-19T22:20:00.006+08:00

I did a four-hour volunteer work for Children's Hour today! I helped in manning their booth at the Hope Fair Bazaar in Bonifacio High Street. I didn't know what I was really signing up for when I agreed to do job, but I wanted to do something new. It was fun helping out and learning more about Children's Hour; I might do this again given the time and opportunity. Four hours ain't a big deal when

Chillin' on Glee

365

2009-12-17T14:25:00.000+08:00

I'm inspired by a colleague to take up something creative for next year: a 365 project. It's something where you work on a project the whole year, depending on what floats your boat. Maybe you could write a poem, paint a piece, sing a song... anything that you can see yourself doing for 365 days. Me? I'm gunning for 365 photos for next year. I'm not so sure though if I could take pictures all the

Noob Mistake

2009-12-16T22:12:00.003+08:00

I went to Megamall today, where I brought my camera to Columbia for cleaning. Turns out it costs 1800!!! Expensive much, I know. But I also know that I have to have it cleaned, so there's no point in getting depressed over the price. After six hours of waiting, I finally got back my camera which looked brand new; they also cleaned the exterior which made me satisfied with the service. I tested

Dirty Sensor 101

2009-12-15T17:57:00.005+08:00

I just want to ask anyone who likes photography or owns a DSLR unit if they have ever experienced dealing with the unit's dirty sensor. Mine's a bit dirty, so I keep seeing these black spots on my photos. Since there is no Nikon sevice center in the Philippines, I went to Columbia which is the official distributor of Nikon stuff in the country. The one in Makati told me that they don't do

Term Ender

2009-12-14T23:06:00.004+08:00

My term break (un)officially started today! The grades won't be up yet until next week but I don't have any more academic requirements left, so I'm on vacation mode now (sort of). To celebrate the end of the term, my friends and I went to Redbox in Greenbelt to sing our hearts out. As usual, there were a lot of photos to go with the celebration!Will be posting the group shots in another entry! :)

All Dressed Up

2009-12-13T12:51:00.004+08:00

What I wore to the wedding yesterday:I was part of the wedding entourage, which is why I'm all dressed up haha. The shoes are from Gibi and the pearl bangle is an early Christmas gift from my mom.Checking out my shoes that got messed up 'cause the grass was mushy. Yikes.But the vain camera hoarder in me won't give up haha. I have tons more of other pictures but I'd settle with this one last shot!

Wedding Bells

2009-12-13T12:42:00.002+08:00

Mi familia and I were at Quezon yesterday for a wedding! I won't be posting any photos of the wedding except the one below since I feel that it's an intimate family event that's not absolutely mine. Putting it up here makes me feel like I'm making it less special for the newlyweds and we don't want that haha. I love the photo below though, with the wind blowing my tita's beautiful wedding dress:

I loved this week's Glee episode! It probably won't tide me over until its next episode (more on that later) but it's good enough. Here are some of my favorite clips:Mercedes: Hey, she’s on to it.Tina: I know. It’s really freaking me out. Hold up, Artie’s buzzing in. I’m going party line.Artie: Dudes, this is serious. If she finds out, she’s gonna tell Finn! She’s a total trout mouth.Tina: Kurt

Ever remember your first movie watching experience? I don't remember it much, but I do remember that it was my parents who took me out to the cinema for the first time. We watched Aladdin, the Disney movie that was a hit in the early 90s. I didn't enjoy it and my first movie experience ended too soon - The combination of Jafar plus the dark cinema made me squirm bigtime. We ended up leaving the

My Favorite Things

2009-12-09T23:11:00.006+08:00

Wore some of my favorite stuff head to toe 'cause I needed a good luck charm to push away the bad vibes. black cover up from a thrift store, belt from Petit Monde, scarf, gray top, leggings and shoes from SMI apologize for the consistently bad background. Our house is going through some renovations, so my usual good spot is unavailable. :P*Photos taken by my sister, yay!

Kubo

2009-12-09T23:04:00.004+08:00

Kay and I hung out at the cute kubo at Marian Quadrangle, where the school put up some Christmas decorations and a belen. The girls and I have been planning to hang out together in the kubo but we never seem to have the same free time nowadays. :(Medyo fail yung photos, we both need better camera phones hahaha.

Effort

2009-12-08T18:47:00.007+08:00

I've been battling my bad allergies since this morning, which makes it hard to work on academic stuff. But hey, I pulled through. I worked on my WIKAKUL final paper for 6 hours - twenty pages on Cavite, its language, culture and people. I took home books from the library, researched the Internet and wrote in Filipino. I don't know why I exerted so much effort on a subject that I hate so much, but

Introducing a new favorite of mine, KitKat Chunky in Cookies & Cream:It's KitKat plus some cookies and cream goodness. What more could I ask for? It's got two of my favorite things, so I'm definitely loving it. <3It's so good on its own, but it also goes well with vanilla ice cream. Go try it!

Next Term

2009-12-05T21:15:00.002+08:00

Final sched for next term:I dropped out of FOTESAY two weeks ago(?) and moved to MENTREP, after a lot of prodding from my friends. Turns out MENTREP involves a lot of group work, which means I get to be with 'em for the most part. I'd miss out on FOTESAY and Ms. Saulo, but I still plan to shoot a couple of stuff and make good use of Pepper (plus Sally, yay!). Who says I need to be enrolled in a

Lazy, lazy Saturday. But hey, I went to the dentist. I'm trying to be really obedient with all the appointments now so I can finally get rid of my four year old braces. :))thrifted black cover up, black studded top by Betty from SM, jeans from Herbench, shoes from SM, bag by Liz Claiborne

Boom

2009-12-03T18:30:00.005+08:00

I was going through somebody's Tumblr and found this:Saktong sakto lang naman hahaha.I find it kinda weird that I'm reading a lot of Tumblr blogs and I'm not even on Tumblr! I like going through 'em because they have a lot of visual stuff that I don't find anywhere else. But no, I won't switch to Tumblr. No offense meant to Tumblr users, but I don't like how most people just keep on reposting

The Ugly Truth

2009-12-03T16:59:00.005+08:00

This photo reminded me of how I always get asked why I'm 19 and I'm single. They always reason out that I seem to be a nice, sweet and pretty girl who should have a boyfriend. I smile and laugh, but really, it annoys me whenever I have to answer that question. Hello, it's not like I can just force the guy that I like to like me back and have him as my boyfriend. o.O*Photo
