Happy 10-effing-THOUSAND hits to me! I reseted that hitboard sometime early this year. I don't care if that's a lot or less but it's 10K, lol. I'd just like to thank you dudes and dudettes who take the time out to read my senseless and most-of-the-time boring posts w/ absolutely no freaking talent in them. I'm just a blogging bum and a frustrated writer at the same time.
I may not be the best writer but I can sing a little, and play the guitar a little. Listen for yourself. This is a song I composed almost 4 years ago when I was 14, for my first love LOL (refer to June 20 and 21 posts). I don't have the best quality voice because I recorded this on first attempt. Didn't do all those *CUT!* and record again shit. Plain and simple.
This is my geeeeft to you, my fellow blogger visitors. Drop me a line okay and wish me some 10k luck. Kisses to all!
*Thanks to Charles for referring me Castpost, which is a great hosting, by the way :D Thanks Charles!
**Who's the 10,000th visitor? Please drop me a line too! If you don't show yourself, oh well, I'm just gonna honor Jhed for being the 10,001st visitor! Haha!
Not-so-Monday Blues
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
Oh hello there people of the blogosphere. I'm postless mindless. WTF?
Anyhoo, yesterday was MONDAY and as I know and prolly you don't, Mondays here in INDONESIA, movie tickets are 40-or-so% off regular price so that's when everyone watches movies. Cool huh? They sould implement that in the Philippines. In the mall we usually watch in, the movie costs RP35,000 (yes people Indonesian Rupiah is thousands LOL) which is about US$4 or about PHP200 but on Mondays it's reduced to RP22,500 which makes it only US$2.50 and about PHP130.. Did I do the math right? Well the hell with it, I suck at math LOL. Oh, and we watched OVER THE HEDGE.
I'd just like to give a shout-out and thanks to my new BF* Karl for treating the one and only me. I didn't know you weren't gonna let me pay you. :D Thanks! We were looking for an anniversery gift for Karl's girlfriend as well, so I was his gift consultant. LOL.
(NOTE: BF = Best Friend [LOL])
The obligatory widescreen-shot.
Friends (me w/ Karl) - Noemz ME Karl Gian
I met one of my good friends or you can say sorority-sister-type friend during High School, Vindy, who was also Josh's ex (refer to JUNE 20 and 21 posts) and gawd I missed her soo much already. We had so much fun during HS and I just found out that she's already leaving for Singapore today for University. Gonna miss you Vinds, now I know who to contact when I'm in Singapore. :)

An excerpt from Victoria Routledge's ...And for Starters.
'So?' Jim leaned forward, aware that me he might be getting the first line on some gossip. 'When are you going to do it? Get married?'
Angus brushed his hair back nervously, dwelling, Jim noticed, on his thinning temples. 'If the business works out OK. If I can get the house sorted out. If my parents can stop rowing enough to actually meet her. If I can get her weaned off Led Zepellin before she has to pick music for the wedding. If she'll have me,' he added, almost as an afterthought.
'That is a lot of ifs.'
'Marriage, my friend, is a very iffy thing.'
'Ah but I don't want marriage. I just want some hot sex.'
Some men are JUST boys. It's always the guys who think of sex more than the girls. It seems that when SEX is an open subject between our species of girls, gals and women, it becomes quite taboo. Well FYI girls, TALK ABOUT SEX ALL YOU WANT. It's time for us to get some real education here. That's the only way we'll learn. We are the ones who get impregnated, not the men. It just weirds me out when me and a couple of friends start the subject of sex and some eyebrows just start raising as high as the Eiffel Tower. Gosh. Get over it already.
This post really has nothing to do with the blockquote above doesn't it? LOL. Because when I read that in the book, it made me think that guys are soo open to talk about sexcapades, fooling around here, there and everywhere but when it actually comes to serious heartfelt feelings and relationships, they get all tongue-tied with each other. I don't know, maybe it's the male ego. "We guys don't talk about that, what are girl-friends for?" they say. While we girls tend to have girly sessions talking about guys and our feelings for them, digging that ever deep hole of trying to analyze how a man's brain works, crying our hearts out with constant imprinted questions in our mind like, "WHY IS HE LIKE THAT?" "HOW COULD HE DO THAT TO ME?" "AM I NOT ENOUGH FOR HIM?".
Well I guess we're all just different. Women, men and the in-betweens.
I guess that's what makes the world go round.
*This post is very extemporary. It popped out of nowhere and I just had to let my brain via my fingers make its way around the keyboard. So yeah, don't be weirded out or anything.*
Juice the Hermit & World Cup Status
Saturday, June 24, 2006
I don't know what's up with me nowadays, but ever since I got back from Camp with my friends last weekend, I haven't gone out with them eversince. I've totally covered myself in the walls of my realm. Sitting in front of the computer, re-watching movies, and making myself sleep with a novel I'm reading now (...And for starters by Victoria Routledge). It's also kinda strange that I'm not really getting updates with what's happening. Okay I'm guilty. Actually I have but there's always the word "maybe" or "daw" that makes me kinda discouraged plus I haven't really been in touch with my cellphone either. I hardly answer calls and texts. What's wrong with me? Am I really enjoying the company of my self? Yes I know, no man's an island. But I'm actually enjoying being in my own island, though I know this is not for long. I'm gonna itch wanting to go out and have fun again. After all, what do they call me the party girl for?
Below are the number of texts I shared with my bestfriend a while ago.
bezfwen: Wat hav u bin d0in?So yeah, they've been going out without me. =( But it's okay coz it's my choice being at home anyway. I always have this "always-at-home" phase where I don't wanna go anywhere and just laze around all day even until the whole week. I'm like that. Then I go back again to being my outgoing nature. It's all a cycle.
me: N0thng.. Stay at home go 2 skul no news frm d outside world lol
bezfwen: Oh haha i kn0, havent heard from u in a wyl. U g0in to church t0mz ryt?
me: Yeah i havent heard frm any0ne else as well. Nobody's bin telin me wats hapening nd stuf. D nxt thng i knw gian's askng me did u go? Nd im lyk wat wer wen?
bezfwen: Oyah? I thot u knew.. Hehe. I tried to call u, sumtin wrong wid ur hp. It always sez nt active..weird. Anyway, nutin much happend.
Anyway right now there's a small sort of get together / small party at my house. Friends of parents drinking, karaoke and stuff. You know, the usual Filipino nature. It just came into my mind, why do "MOST" get-togethers involve liquor? What if there was no liquor around? I mean what would happen? Would it still be the same or will there be anything lacking? In our nature, we always need liquor for parties. I wonder where, how it started and why. I don't know, the question just suddenly popped into my mind.
WORLD CUP STATUS!
Oooohh, Portugal got in WOOT! :D
That's all for now. Cheers everyone!
Maidless
Friday, June 23, 2006
My Indonesian maid aka helper is on her mid-year vacation so she went home to her beloved hometown. We still have one more, but she's my little sister's nanny so she can't cook as nice and can't clean as good as the other. I'm beginning to freak out here. I mean look at this..
(click images for larger version)
Yeah I know. You must be thinking, "So she needs a maid to clean her room? What a lazy ass!" But no people, I clean my room. I just need my MAID's nagging. She's the one who constantly tells me to clean my room, and that's when I get my move on. Without her voice ringing in my ears, I just don't have the energy to do so. Wanna see the best part?
Where have all the OTHER CLOTHES gone? In the wash, because the nanny can't wash clothes and take care of my lil sis at the same time. This cupboard is in SHAMBLES, HODGEPODGE, MISHMASH! Totally chaotic. How embarrassing for me top put up the pics here. LOL.
ANYWAY, my posts have been UNBELIEVABLY long. And I wanna keep em short this time. I'm getting weirder and weirder as time passes. EEEEKK!
P.S I'd like to plug my latest craze, Paramore, I've been listening to them nonstop for the past days. Check them out!
Dear Dear First Love... (Part II)
Wednesday, June 21, 2006
Remember Josh? I know how it feels. I'm not saying I'm still in love with you or have the least bit feelings for you, but what I'm saying is that, we COULD have had something you know? Something really great. Even before the song Til They Take My Heart Away became mainstream I sang it for you with my guitar, recorded it on a tape together with Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman's Someday We'll Know and you said you kept on listening to it because I had the nicest voice. You told me you could just listen to it again and again while staring at the ceiling and thinking about us. Yes, I actually recall the things that you tell me, because I know they're real, you just never really work hard for it. All you want is the thrill of trying to get me, after that, it's all stale.
My line: So many questions, I need an answer. Two years later you're still on my mind..
Our line: Someday we'll know, why I wasn't meant for you..
Your line: If I could ask God just one question, WHY AREN'T YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?It sounds corny now, but that's the way we used to be. When 9th Grade began, we grew even more further apart, just the occasional hi's and hello's, the rare calls and the 3 minute awkward chats. I guess we were getting mature. Mature in a sense that we knew it was never gonna work out anymore. The third strike came, after all. But you know what? I still saw that look in your eyes, I always noticed it, even for just a second. Now I'm not gonna talk about your girls, because I have nothing to do with them, and you had nothing to do with my share of guys as well. 10th Grade was my last year, not much happened. Except you told me to make you a CD with the condition that the first song would be Incubus' I Miss You. Right then and there I felt, shit Josh, it's still there, it's unavoidable. But we couldn't do anything about it anymore right?
We didn't have a proper goodbye when I left, nothing (probably coz I had a serious relationship with someone else that time). Maybe that's why I'm still so hung up with our story, because we never had closure. We never talked about it. The what-coud-have-beens are still there. But I just wanna tell you that even though I have no more of those feelings, like they say, first love never dies (hahaha Plue). There are still soooo many more memories I wanna recall, but it's gonna be as big as the buffalo that's between us right now. The gap is just too far that I don't think I can still reach you anymore. We totally lead different lives. And I guess that's all there is to it...
Justine
Well that's the end of it. Sorry for making it soo long I really couldnt help it. Hahaha..
Oh oh oh, I wanna credit and give a shoutout to Jigs for naming me a smiley in his blog. Thanks Jigs! Visit his site and comment okay? And don't forget to include this in his tagboard :juiceee:.
Dear First Love...
Tuesday, June 20, 2006
How do I begin? It's been a year or so since we last had a conversation. We saw each other a month ago, but that was it. I even greeted you a day before your birthday, but that was it. I don't know why the hell I call you my first love. Everything we had was plain WEIRD. 3rd Grade, you still gave me cooties (lol), I remember we had to write "I will not play with grasshoppers anymore" 100 times on a sheet of paper because you brought me grasshoppers and we would take out their wings and tease other students so that they'd be scared. You were just a playmate then, just a plain seatmate I had in class. 2 years later, at 5th Grade, when trying to be cool was all that mattered, I remembered you were the one who introduced me to Korn and Limp Bizkit. I then listened to the same type of music as you did. Again, we were seatmates, and would always talk about music, the likes and arguing whether who was cooler. Britney Spears or Fred Durst.
I didn't like you then, you were just a friend. Until one day when we were all talking about crushes and I asked you who yours was. You froze, but tried to act cool and said, "Give me a piece of paper, I'll write it down" so I gave you a random paper with my name on it. 5 minutes later, when I opened the paper, it was still empty, except with my written name but then, I saw this teeny-weeny sized ARROW directing to it. Remember that? The memory is still fresh in my mind as if it was still yesterday. I'm not sure what happened after that but you became my boyfriend, my very first boyfriend at 5th Grade. Truth or Dares were so popular at that time. You took me to the girls toilet back in the gym to give me that 5-second kiss on the lips (my first kiss) and believe it or not, that was only how far we went. Months later, when you just came from a 2 week vacation you came up to me and ask me, "So, are you still my girlfriend?" "Umm, no" I said. I don't know what came into my mind that time, but what I know, that answer changed my life.
We didn't talk anymore, our relationships would just be on and off, I suddenly missed our jokes and laughs and the way you would always tease me in class. 6th Grade finally the teases came back, we danced in front of the whole school and I would still chase you all over the corridor for teasing me and that would last for hours. This is getting long, because EACH DAMN year we had a story. These memories never faded away. 7th Grade I remembered we went to Tania's farewell party in her house and while everyone was playing Spin the Bottle, we just spent the time talking and lying down in her bed. 7th Grade was also the time we had that 5 hour talk on the phone and you confessed that deep inside you still had feelings for me. You became my boyfriend again for the 2nd time but then, 16 hours later (yes I remembered how many hours, JOSH) you sent me a text saying you met this girl at the mall (WTF JOSH?!?!). I was devastated of course, I spent 30 minutes crying in the shower for a 16-houred stupid relationship.
We didn't talk anymore after that, 8 months of silence and walking around corridors as if we didn't know each other. You had a new girlfriend then months later, I had mine. We lived our own lives until we became close again one day in 8th Grade when you would play guitar and I would sing along. I had a boyfriend that time, and you called me again to tell me you still had that same feelings for me the same way you did back in 5th Grade. I believed you, because I did to. I remember breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 months at that time and a week later, we were together again. I remember that was soo sweet coz our of nowhere you dropped by my best friend's house where I was at and you asked me out of the blue. I was even so surprised when your my name on your phone was already "HUNNYBUNNY" without me even knowing it. Our 3rd relationship. SIX DAYS LATER, I broke it off with you because I thought it wasn't working out. Why does our relationship always go haywire once we have a status? I always thought about that. We didn't talk for a month after that then one day when Tubz and Ir were planning to stop by the beach after school you went with us (surprisingly) and that's when I had my first REAL memory with you. Walking around the beach looking stupid in our uniforms, eating McDonald's and not having a care in the world..
This is us Josh, remember? Taken in your classroom where we would always hang out, listen to music, play cards during recess and hours after classes finished?

Sick
Wednesday, June 14, 2006
Ugghh I'm sick! It just sucks down to the core. I'm having the flu, my frequent visitor the tonsilitis and my ears are blocked. The other night I was chatting with Jhed and suddenly my eardrums just lost its control and vibrated. Fuck, I was soo freaked out I thought I was gonna die. I hate being sick. Why am I sick anyway? It's not like I've been active with life. I mean I stay at home pretty much all the time in front of the computer. Besides that I just go to class every Tuesday and Thursday and the occasional hang outs with my friends. Ugghh seriously. I haven't smoked a BUTT of cigarette since Saturday and the weather in Jakarta is perfectly fine. Probably some virus my sister has or something. This started 2 nights ago.
Anyway the hell with getting sick, I wanna talk about my passion. Something I've been neglecting for a while in the blogging world coz of the LOVE (yearight), FOOTBALL and what-not rants.
I just got 2 new albums. One I bought the other night which was Ministry of Sound Annual 2006 and Matisyahu's Youth which my best friend bought for me when she was in Manila (thanks bez!).
I can say that Ministry of Sound was pretty much a smart buy for me. I needed to get out of my comfort zone and buy a new flavor of albums. I was never really into compilation albums but I considered this one. And I never had a DANCE album before, it's usually all the albums of Eminem, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessional some emo stuff and RHCP. It's a good listen and it's a little bit nonstop with really high-class dance tunes. It's not necessarily danceable, it also gives the CHILL vibe. I love this album. :)
Matisyahu is a different style of reggae, I thank my best friend for buying it for me. King Without a Crown is definitely my survival song anywhere. The album sticks to reggae but he mixes different flavors into it, like acoustic and very listen-worthy beats. :) The term Zeemaamaayoyo is very distinct in most of his songs. Some might find it irritating, but I find it fun.
Wanna know the worst example of REGGAE?? Paris Hilton's new song Stars Are Blind. WTF is that? I can't stand it. Perfect example of BAD MUSIC.
...it might be a softcore porn video with really bad music playing in the background, I can't really tell. but if it is her music video, then let me just say that until now, I didn't know that Paris Hilton singing reggae would be synonymous with Paris Hilton sound like a dying cat. - JordanIsYourHomeboyLOL. Haha..
Anyway, another segment of music. Don't worry it's not a tag. Gosh I hope tags become ancient. Haha but if you wanna copy paste this, no problemo. Enjoy :)

Double Tag
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
What's with tagging nowadays? It has become a big part in the blogging world, we wouldn't wanna let anyone down do we if we don't follow the respective tag? It's all a cycle..
First tag from Mariz.
Instructions:1. Eating with bare hands - I can't explain but it feels good. You don't have to prove to anyone what kind of person you are and it's Filipino nature.
Name ten(10) of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten(10) people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.
2. Dancing around in my room - I do this alot. When I'm bored, or simply just wanna release my stress or anger, dancing is the way to go. :D
3. Feeling kilig - Doesn't this just feel nice? Whether watching romantic comedies, cheesy movies, or lovers around you, it gives out the notion that love is still the strongest feeling in this world.
4. Walking barefoot in the sand - When I do this, I just feel so light, like nothing is gonna harm me.
5. Singing along loudly to cheesy songs by boybands and pop artists - No elaboration. It speaks for itself.
6. Karaoke - Ditto.
7. Having a good conversation over dinner at the dining table with your parents - this is LOVE.
8. Tempura, fishballs and buko juice by the street - Oh how I miss this.
9. Laughing for no reason - My bestfriend Noemz and I do this alot. She just starts laughing, or I do then it goes on and on for about 15 minutes nonstop. At the end we have no idea what we were laughing about, it sure feels good.
10. Falling in love - What more can I say?
TAGGED:
Beans, Irvin, Janis, Memesh, Heneroso, Diane, Gillian, Mikmik, Mark (shawboy), and of course the best for last, JHED. :D
------
And this, from Kevin (payback time huh? haha).
The first player of this game starts with the "6 weird things/habits about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things, as well as state this rule clearly.. in the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.1. I read a magazine the other way around, meaning, I start with the last page first - I know it's weird, but I do that most of the time.
2. I'm an onion - Hahaha, I use that term for myself because I CRY REALLY easily. If I'm too happy, I cry. When I'm mad, I cry. Oh especially when I watch movies, whatever kind of movie I just cry. Yeah I'm weird.
3. I've used the same set of spoon and fork since I was 9 years old - Ahh, haha. This pair was bought back when I was in 3rd Grade by my mom. It's Ruby Red and the metallic foil around the handles are peeling off but I've used this set for NINE whole years already and it's still in good condition. When I eat at home, I always have to use this pair of spoon and fork or else I won't eat. Only when I'm at home okay, I don't go around restaurants bringing this embarrassing ensemble. Haha..
4. I have a JIGGLY foot - My left foot jiggles alot. I know this is a male-trait, but I always do this. My friends and barkadas get really pissed when I start doing it, they always say, "There goes Juz and her jiggly foot again" while slapping my leg. It's something I can never avoid doing.
5. I collect prepaid reload cards/top-ups from around the world - After you reload your cellphones and you're using a card, don't throw them. Give them to me. :p
6. I like to eat food directly from the serving plate together with rice - I didn't know this until my bestfriend told me a while ago. It's not very good manners I know, but apparently I do it (thanks for telling me Noemz, haha).
TAGGED:
Derf, Lexy, Francis, Janpol, Princess, Karla
You guys are sooo tagged. :D EKS DEE.
Shoutout to my chikah-little-sistah Bianca for that wonderful dinner tonight. Belated Happy 15th Birthday gurlaloo, lots of hugs and kisses from me, ur Ate or not and ex Momy. Haha. Mwaahh!
FIFA WORLD CUP
Sunday, June 11, 2006
It's that time of the year again after 4 years of the loong wait. Tears, fears, bets, jets, screams, victory dances, heart attacks, cuss words. Oh yes, it's the WORLD CUP baby.
I've been a fan of football even before David and Victoria Beckham knew each other haha. 1998, France and their very bloody victory. 2002 Korea/Japan which did me proud since Asia hosted this one, Brazil wins their 5th record beating Germany, which now hosts the 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP. I don't know why, but football just gives that certain excitement. The rush when watching these players kicking soccer balls and wondering whoever's gonna score a goal is just amazing. Sometimes, it can be boring, but mostly the rush is just there.
There are 32 teams from across the world participating in this years cup and 8 groups which have 4 countries under each. My best bets are the ones in bold. My favorite teams are the ones starred.
GROUP A
- Germany
- Ecuador
- Costa Rica
- Poland
- England*
- Sweden
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Paraguay
- Argentina
- Netherlands
- Serbia and Montenegro
- Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire)
- Mexico
- Iran
- Angora
- Portugal*
- Italy
- Ghana
- USA
- Czech Republic
- Brazil
- Croatia
- Australia
- Japan
- France
- Switzerland

Okay now it's time for my favorite player. Cristiano Ronaldo, winger number 17 of Portugal and number 7 in Manchester United (he took Beckham's number after he left for Real Madrid). I started liking him after watching his performance in 2004's Euro in Portugal. He's just amazing, the way he plays, his tactics, this guy certainly has skills. And not to mention, he's hot. :)
At yesterday's standing he was currently the 2nd placer for Gilette's Best Young Player Award for this year's World Cup. First placer was Lionel Messi of Argentina (team: Barcelona) who's just nineteen-fucking-years old and apparently a really good player. Third placer was Wayne Rooney of England (team: Manchester United). This was yesterday's stats, who knows, the stats could have changed today.

Music: The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
After being away for two days, it kinda feels weird to be in my blog again. It's not that I blog everyday, but the fact that I'm always updated on my visitors, taggers and commenters that when I finally come around to blog or visit my blog, the overwhelming set of visitors just well, overwhelms me. Thanks to all of you who keep notice and track of my simple blog that just kind of tells the story of my life here in Indonesia. I didn't know that blogging would become such a big part of my life. I've been blogging since 7th grade and was part of the Blogger family almost 2 years ago. It's been all good, but I feel that this year is the peak of my blogger life :D
Anyway the past 2 days have been real tiring for me. Wednesday night my best friend Noemi slept over and Thursday night I slept over. Friday went out with the boys and hanged out at my friend's apartment. I watched Xmen and walked out after Professor dies coz I was so pissed talaga and I heard they didn't show that scene after the credits so what's the point right? So much happened the past two days and I don't think I can blog it all so I'll just say it with pictures. I'm not one to care so much about my looks when I'm just hanging out with friends so pardon these pictures because I'm not perfectly groomed and having just the "come what may" look. Hehe. For all of them, just click here.
bff!

Busted. Happy Birthday Mom!
Tuesday, June 06, 2006
I need to quit smoking. AT HOME. Yes friends, I'm a backstreet smoker. Means I smoke without my parents knowledge. And worst of all, their consent (why am I even gonna talk about consent here? You think they would allow me to smoke in their right minds?!?!). Back to the story, a while ago I was sleeping in my room with eye covers and suddenly my mom comes in the room with all her birthday glory and straight out from the bathroom after a bath, pulls out my eye covers and says, "Have you been smoking?!?" she asks in a suspicious tone. SHIT, I thought. She goes around the room and sniffs it. "You've been smoking right?! You're room smells like cigarettes! Come here, go outside and go inside your room again, it smells." "No, I haven't" I say, wide awake by this time. Then I get an idea. "It's those inscents!" while pointing to the toppest of my book rack where I keep my unfinished and uncleaned inscent ash leftovers (Lame-o, says CHINO [him] LOL). My mom goes near them and smells them, then goes out of the room. By that time I'm quickly taking the Marlboro Lights Menthol and lighters from my bag (see June 4 post), moving my queen-sized bed and stuffing the pack between the headboard and the bed. My heart was beating oh so hard that it was almost coming out from my body. I knew she was gonna tell my dad. Oh boy..
About 3 minutes later, you know who comes in. My dad. Examining the room and sniffing it, asks me coolly, "Do you smoke?" I look into his eyes ever so convincingly and says, "No." It's killing me, lying like this. I'm not one to lie to my parents. "Are you sure?" he asks, I say yes I'm sure and point to the inscents again. He goes over where the inscents are and smells it. He comes back to me and kisses my hair (to check for the smoke) and kisses my cheeks. I know he wasn't convinced yet, but he let it go. I know for a fact that the reason why my room stunk wasn't coz I had been smoking (well yeah it is, but you get the drift). I had some leftover butts of cigarettes which I hadn't thrown the night before and together with the ones I smoked earlier, I put them together in a plastic bag and rolled them into a ball, threw them in my trash can and hoped for the best. My trash can is beside the door so when you come in, DADADADADAADAMMMM!! The smell welcomes your ever hungry nostrils. Gawd how could I be soo shhtoopid?! Anyway it has passed, let it be. But what sucks is that I had to lie to my parents and I rarely lie to them. My parents and I are very open to each other and and I'm very close to them. It just sucks having to lie that's all. But what was I supposed to do? Say, "Yeah I smoke, you cool with it?" Oh my Gosh the thought of that just gives me the heebie jeebies.
======================
On a lighter note, I'd like to greet my MOTHER DEAR a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (I know, the first words my mom said to me on her 45th birthday is, "Have you been smoking?!?" Tsk tsk). She was born 45 years ago on this freaky date in which I don't find freaky at all, because of course, it's my mother's birthday. After my dad went out, I went out of the room and kissed my mom a Happy Birthday, just like the model daughter that I am *chokes*.
Mother and I during my 18th birthday.
No seriously, I love my MOM like HEAVEN. She's the reason I breathe (literally), and the one which keeps me living. When I was studying college in Cebu alone and away from her, it was just different. I'm really close with my mom and we're just like best friends and sisters. I love you MAMIII <33, Happy Birthday!Whoopee, this post is loooong.
InsideMyBag
Sunday, June 04, 2006
It's time to get personal. Not that personal, but pretty personal. LOL. Since I'm having a blogger block and you probably wouldn't be interested in my daily life coz I have none, let's just post some pictures.
I've been a big fan of Bryanboy eversince God knows when. When he launched his InsideMyBag site last November 2005, I got all excited. But since I was too lazy to take a picture of my bag and it's contents, I didn't and just enjoyed looking through the amazing bags and what they had to offer inside. Then about 7 months later, which is NOW I got the idea of taking a picture of my bag and its substance. Haha.
There you go! That's my boring bag and its boring contents. Eks dee.-Bag is from Billabong,
-wallet from Roxy,
-the must-have Clean and Clear Oil Film,
-two cellphones: Indonesian sim card and the other one Smart Roaming from Philippines,
-my most favorite thing in the world, my fake Ray-Ban aviators which I got for an amazing price of PHP80 (can you believe that?? less than 2 fucking dollars! woot!),
-2 lighters (I don't know why 2),
-2 pens: one from my school which has a plate of their name Cambridge and the other one Pilot Hi-Tech 0.3 (yes people of the Philippines, here in Indonesia, G-Tech is HI-TECH,
-Marlboro Lights Menthol,
-comb, mirror,
-The Body Shop Rose Spritz, The Body Shop Born Lippy in Raspberry, TheFaceShop lipgloss (I don't wear make-up, but I have a thing for lipgloss), VOV eyeliner, Nivea Cream, loose powder,
-gum wrappers, a Starbucks cherry lollipop wrapper
-and a black hair-tie which I never gave back to my friend.
PS. YES, it's a GIRL's BAG.
So that's all folks, a sneak peek of my bag.
*striked phrases: I just thought about it, and I can't commit to those kinda stuff. :)
