hiatus
i am so depressed, mainly because of my weight issues once again. i've decided to go on a blog leave because people don't really care right now and i'm too stuffy to write anything insightful or positive.haaaay... this is a big cliche but of course i want to be a better person in all aspects of my being. i feel terrible right now. i look like a cow. (although, a cow would look waaaaay cuter.) i just simply want to disappear for the rest of the summer until i get my life fixed.
damn detox. sure, it purges all the "bad stuff" out of your system but it also causes you to balloon afterwards. yeah, yeah. what a lame excuse.
karen dear, it is out of pure love and sisterhood that i have wholeheartedly agreed to host your party on the 5th, even though i look like a mini goodyear blimp right now.
i look so fucking terrible. grabe. i hope this isn't turning into a psychological disorder. gaaah, who would ever want to be friends with a fat wacko.
pray for me. i don't ever want to turn into the cat lady.

the love of my life
it's perfectly okay to be single as long as you have a very, very, very huggable and adorable dog who eats all kinds of vegetables except Baguio beans just like its owner.
Ahhhh... I will be on vacation for a few days. I shall be leaving you with a picture of the world's most huggable big dog, Bender.
stay happy dears.

cheap thrills
I have never been knonwn as the most frugal person, but I do love buying on sale. Whenever I see something that's surprisingly affordable- I grab it, whether I need it or not. In most cases, I end up buying waaaaay too much of these "cheap" items that I go home nearly broke.. Aaaaahhh... So much for savings, these are the things that make me happy.
Heavenly Beauty Goatmilk Lotion
Everyone knows that I am such a big fan of lotion. Sure, I go for the expensive ones too, the ones recommended by the dermatologists, but you leave the spending to your mom. When you're low on cash and feeling a bit scaly, go for the net best buy. This one's really creamy and doesn't feel greasy at all. It feels quite refreshing to the skin just after a bath. Plus, who would say no to promises of Heavenly Beauty, right? (They should be paying me for this!) Php50.00 for 125ml
Paganini Brush
Aside from being a lotion freak, I am also a hair care freak. My hair's been straight, wavy, curly, and straight again. It has been chopped to every length and shape imaginable. I love changing hairstyles and what I love more is scourging beauty stores for haircare products. When I had curly hair, I did not bother to brush my hair for almost a year. Now that my hair's straight again, this Paganini Hairbrush helps me create that sleek, frizz-free look. Nah, I'm just messing with you. The real reason why I bought this is because it's only Php 89.75! What a steal!
Wait, my blog's beginning to sound very much like a teen magazine. Hahahaha. But, hey! This is more realistic or so I think.
When you flip through those magazines, you read titles like "Best Fashion Buys", "Designer Duds on A Budget" or "Look Glam Without Getting Broke". Yeah right. You'll probably go like, "OMG! I can't believe this adorable top is only Php8,000!!!!"
(I swear I saw that in a magazine. The original price was around Php11,000)
Oh well,I guess it all comes down to our definition of "cheap thrills". To me, these are things or activities that cost little to provide us with that priceless joie de vivre.
It's like getting lost in Baclaran with Anjo and discovering a wonderful sari-sari store staple. Nope. It's not Boy Bawang. It's these pseudo-green peas, pseudo-corn bits interestingly called Karaoke (or is it Videoke?) They only cost Php10 for a pack of twelve. That's a real bargain!
Cheap thrills run aplenty in the Diliman Republic, consisting mostly of interesting foodstuff (which Jai and I call "mini-laps", short for mini lafang).
Ate Beth's Hot Monay and Special Empanada are all-time favorites, both for only 10 pesos each. Cheese Corn is also a staple mini-laps item, only 10 pesos too. For the sweet tooth, 10 pesos will definitely go a long way for your blood sugar with ice cream (that comes in the cutest colors and flavors), sticky and sugary bananacue and turon (which they surprisingly serve on stick).
Don't think they serve all junk here! For the health food freaks, we have Taho and Lumpia (filled with veggie goodness allright) and yeah, they are 10 pesos ONLY.
They say the best things in life are free. I say the next best things are just 10 pesos. The next, next best things, might set you back for a mere Php 89.75.
Enjoy life to the fullest, darlings! (Even with a tight budget...)
Economy and Quality :)

how to save a life
i am ALMOST done with the art stud paper!!! whooohoooo!!!before that, let me just port some lyrics of a song i've been listening to recently. it's by The Fray. I'm not sure if I really like the song, but the lyrics just HIT ME SO HARD. This could have been entitled "James and Her Failed Relationships."
NYEK.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
lalalalalalala.... i will finish you, artstud project, you!!!!!!

groupmates from hell!!!!
i really don't like working in a group, especially when the people you're with don't share the same amount of dedication that you have for a certain project. i hate it even more when people decide to turn into megabitches when it's cruch time.take my art studies group for example. I am left with 26 hours to produce a written output and a CD of a tour plan about death and burial practices in the Philippines. We divided the work among ourselves "equally" with 5 members. I was given the task of researching on coffin makers in manila. and since i missed the actual tour yesterday, i volunteered to compile everything and burn the CD, out of the goodness of my heart just to show them that I am a team player and I don't just bum around.
WRONG MOVE!!!!!
Of course, some of them took advantage of this and declared their own summer holidays already. Only three people have sent their parts to me and almost all are incomplete.
I texted Megabitch1. "hey, thanks for sending your part early but it's in the wrong format and it's incomplete. send me the maps and list of resource persons asap."
Megabitch1 replied, "sorry, i'm our of town. just text our other groupmates. besides, i did ALL the reporting last time."
I swear she put the word "ALL" in big,fat capital letters. Since it was just ten in the morning, I decided not to call her up and yell obscenities. What the sammilbee was she talking about???!!! She might have done "ALL" of the verbal reporting, but guess who gave the contents of the said report??!!! By the way, she was the same bitchy person who told me to plan the tour ahead cos she doesn't want to waste gas again. Yeah,ooh cos she drives a nice car.
What the fuck??! A final project will and shall require a person to lose something - be it time, brain cells, money and yes, you megabitch1, GAS!!!!
Don't worry, after all this I can give you some of your gas back, Just tell me if you want me to put it in your car or pour it on your head.
Then megabitch2 texted and told me that I would have to wait until lunchtime tomorrow cos she wasn't done with her part yet. How the hell does she expect me to produce a CD in an instant without her part of the report??!
I told her, I could just send her all of our parts, compiled, edited and formatted. She'll just have to insert her part and burn the CD herself.
You know what megabitch2 just told me??!!
"No way! I'm in Laguna right now. I can't go all the way to UP tomorrow just to pass that."
I can't believe you just told me that, you megabitch2,you!!!!!
You know what, I live in Cavite and I will go to school tomorrow to pass "our" FINAL PROJECT.
How can some people be all inconsiderate in such a blunt manner??!! She could have told me she was sick or someone in the family is ill or she lost their home in a fire or suddenly a civil war broke out in Laguna, and I would lovingly tell her that it's okay. But to tell me "No way!", this is ultimate proof for being the groupmate from hell. She will not do it just because she won't.
Why do I do this to myself? Why do I always come to the rescue??!! Well, I can't afford to have low grades. And don't fucking tell me you really don't have time for this because this isn't your major.
I hope we won't be groupmates ever. And I am seriously hoping that UP professors will stop giving out groupworks, because seriously, I am not learning anything from them. You expect us to learn teamwork and cooperation and all that crap but it's not happening.
Note to self, if possible: go solo!
Or, clearly inform partners/groupmates that you are positively capable of leaving permanent scars on their happy faces.
Grrrr!!! I will hunt you down!!!!

better to go solo
sometimes (if not most of the time), it's really better to go solo. nw, this is applicable to both matters of life and love. specifically, this is applicable when dealing with roommates and finding new apartments and yes, when dealing with groupmates from hell.ewan.
maybe i'm just extra grouchy today because of the hangover. (will be blogging about the mega-woship event later. note to ptosh: will be talking about "sane" moments only.) nakakaasar talaga!
i've been asking people around for the past month about coffin makers, but nobody's responding. i hate that. i'm the kind of person who always at least says something when someone asks me a favor.
you can at least tell me you don't have any idea. i just hate it when people don't respond at all.
aaaaaaaggghhhh!!!!
today is sunday. 10:37 AM.
by tomorrow, monday 4:00 PM i should be passing my (our) final requirement for art studies. now, it's just because i don't want to waste my 1.10 pre-final grade that i'm doing this right now. this is martyrdom,people.
