due to some unanticipated Facebook happenings, at least three more people are aware that this blog exists in cyberspace (i guess i should be happy but now i'm just feeling a bit queasy). shout out to Jewel, Judy, and Marian!!!
anyway, i suddenly felt the urge to look at my posts and make sure i didn't write anything too stupid that can be used against me later on. ok, so i actually need to indicate the photo credits because jewel caught me on that one. fiiiine!!! i might even have to take my own photos. actually that's ok, i just find uploading the pics a real hassle.
also, i decided to write a bit about the things that i said i would. these are just off the top of my tiny head and i'm pretty sure i'm still gonna miss some of them. here goes:
1) perfume: last May 2010, i bought a bottle of perfume for the first time. mind you, it's less than P2k, which i know is still cheap compared to other brands. anyway, that was my first time ever (i don't even buy baby cologne although now i'm thinking i should've taken baby steps first), and what mostly convinced me to do such a thing was the Little Miss Desperate inside of me. see, i have been told by several guys that perfume on a girl counts for extra points. Kuya Amid was first drawn to Ate Deisen (who is now his wife) when he caught her scent as she passed by him while they were on the same boat. my dad said that if i don't wear perfume, no guy would ever fall in love with me. and Dudz said that even though it's not his priority, an alluring scent on a girl would be a real bonus. so, bumigay ako. haaay. kala ko pa naman feminista ako, pero napabili din ako ng pabango. darn! at wala pa rin nagkakagusto sa kin! in fairness, i still keep forgetting to put on perfume most days anyway. hahahaahha.
2) foundation: ended up getting Ever Bilena's liquid foundation with SPF 15 in Oriental. it's quite good, i think, although i don't really have much to compare it with. i didn't need to mix it with other shades--it was quite a close match, thankfully. i use a foundation brush to apply it, which i find really fun. however, since we did filming on location and it was quite warm, i did get a bit sweaty and when i'd wipe my face, i could see that the foundation was coming off as well. maybe i need to use primer? i don't know. anyway, i'll try to find out one of these days, when i have an urgent need of doing so.
3) My Icon, My Hero: i didn't win. phooeeey! but of course you know that already. i would've immediately told you and everyone within a 5km radius had the situation been the opposite. hahaha. i just try to comfort myself with the thought that all those who did win were already accomplished writers anyway. oh well, maybe next year, eh? darn though, i was really counting on that flat screen TV.
4) Pixie: actually, it's nearing the length of a bob right now. and the ends are flying away in all directions! i can't wait to grow back my hair though. seriously. there are a million styles i want to try. and i wanna get my portrait/ headshot taken too.
5) my OC financial plan: it's late already. somebody remind me to discuss it in my next post instead, ok?
6) the Root of Obesity: you know how i tend to judge people who overeat and call them selfish gluttons? i'm really sorry about that. i know that though it is true for a lot of cases, there is something much deeper underneath it all. it could be a health thing (one of my closest friends has a thyroid problem which causes her to, among other things, gain weight). it could also be psychiatric--there is a reason behind people overeating or overspending. sometimes it's about wanting to take control of something in your life and, when everything else is out of our hands, we go to the things that we do have a say over. i'll try not to stereotype and label people, promise! i'll really try. i still think that these issues can be overcome by a realization that there are more important things than our own problems, but i also know that this is easier said than done.
that's it for now. adios, amigos!
