I’m admittedly a pig-eater because when I was a kid, I’ve been training like hell in the swimming pool for 4-5 hours a day, that triggered a hefty appetite after. Yes, twice or thrice the usual amount of food kids eat. And I’m afraid I’ve taken it with me as I grew up. I binge eat whenever I’m stressed.

And makeup school is no exception. Don’t get me wrong, I have loads of fun, and my energies are at its all time high whenever I go to class - it’s my passion and I’m happiest whenever it’s Saturday, but it’s also draining since I don’t get me a good breakfast as I rush to school very early in the morning.

So I pigout during lunchtime. Great suggestion of my classmate L, to eat at Ebun, which was right beside Kitchen in Greenbelt 3. Just because we’ve maxed out our CC’s and our cash outflow are just in its all time high because of our expenses for school, we were opting for something more affordable but still equally yummy.

Labels, or love?

Sex and The City has got to be the movie of the year. I’ve never seen this much groups of friends watching movies together. We were a group of seven girls ( straight from makeup class ), and my friend tells me his boss’ was a group of 14 who watched it! I think , more than a movie for lovers, Sex and the City is ultimately the girl-friend flick of the year.

Fabulous, breath-stopping clothes, laugh-out loud jokes, and tore-my-heart heartbreaks, Sex and the City drives me to a quiet reflection on how happy I am to have really good friends to be with me thick and thin.

Life isn’t perfect in any way, one might want to give up at one point in one’s life, but the existence of wonderful support systems are just the driving forces to look on the brighter side and fight. Fight for one’s space in the world, fight for one’s happiness in this only life we’re given to live. Friends are blessings that God gave us to help us see the beauty of breathing and looking at the world with Prada shades, through good times, and bad times.

Hahaha no, it’s not another emo post that would make you roll your eyes as I wallow in self pity or depression again. It’s an event I attended at Mag:Net Cafe last Tuesday, David and Goliath’s Little Losers Press Launch.

Named after his father and his dog, David & Goliath combines Goldman’s sense of humor with simple graphic imagery to define a fashion line that is clearly, above and beyond the overtly obnoxious slogan tees that plague the market today. In essence, quips from David & Goliath that run from sassy declarations like “I can tell your bag is fake” to attitudinal proclamations of “Anything you can do, I can do better,” gives the wearer a hip and trendy pulpit from which they can make their fashionable statements. And today, in the spirit of constant innovation and creativity, Goldman’s Stupid Factory has churned a new batch of graphic misfits called the Little Losers that represent a humorous path to self-expression tinged with irony and wit.

They launched “The Little Losers” which showcases 57 characters, and what can I say? Last night, I embraced the loser in me and had alot of fun watching Gabe Mercado’s SPIT, laughing my heart outs until my eyes are nonexistent anymore. Yes, I had fun being a loser for the night and I’ve never laughed that much in ages!

I woke up late yesterday ( Saturday ) because I had no office that day. I was supposed to postpone my trip to Tagaytay with friends already when I woke up to a text message plea from J to come along because we don’t go out of town much. Since the circumstances seemed cheerful and more optimistic in the household, I was able to take a quick shower, dress up in time, and head for our meeting place. Sometime along 1 oclock in the afternoon, us girls + 1 boy were complete to have our awaited late lunch at Tagaytay. Guess where? Of course, our less adventurous streak for the weekend led us to Buon Giorno, our favorite Italian resto in Tagaytay, and as C has never tried it before there, we sought to bring him there to make him understand why we love the place so much!

On the third leg of our journey, twas bestbud A’s idea to visit a friend’s place and spend the night there as it was just 45 minutes away from the beach. So our third destination, Lipa City, Batangas.

On the way there, I was bored, and on a fast moving vehicle, the impulsive me just opened the window of M’s car and started shooting random sunset pics - just because I’ve never taken a sunset shot, ever. Next time, I’d make sure I camp out during sunrise, and sunset at the beach to chase good light and capture beautiful shots, as every budding photography enthusiast would go for. ( See Swept Away )

We spent the night at Events Centre, which is owned and managed by bestbud A’s friend ( and our new friend, too ) H. The facade, as we arrived there, striked to me as a typical hotel, but when I went inside, it turned out to be a great place to hold well, events ! Aside from being an events facility, it also has rooms that can accommodate overnighters and such ( like us! ). There was a wedding reception held in the main hall when we arrived there, and we were escorted to the room by their courteous staff.

Such a feeling’s comin` over me. There is wonder in most everything I see! ( Erm, forgive me, I’m giddy )

Our second stop for our weekend was to the Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm. We were given a chance to mingle with the greens, the bees, and the fantastic organic products that I will never get enough of. ( getting ready her shopping cart ta check out from their online store ).

The feature of Ilog Maria is posted at my beauty blog, ymight want to check it out. I took alot of pictures to “virtually tour” my readers to Ilog Maria! Teehee

Trying to finish up my weekend wrap-up before it turns to the weekend again!

Last weekend was more than anything that I could ask for as I was given a chance to get away from Manila, and spend more time with my bestbuds from college, A and M. With the limited time given to us ( just an overnight stay , these law students are just so darn busy ), I was tasked to plan for our trip.

One thing came into my mind - lunch at Buon Giorno, Cliffhouse, Tagaytay, for starters.

I’ve been enjoying the food at Buon Giorno for some time now as my other friends just love dining there. We always make sure to reserve the Opium Bed beforehand, the most romantic, and best seats in the resto, with a gorgeous view of the Taal Lake. Now, I’ve brought my two friends here with a mission to impress them with the delicious Italian food, and the very enjoyable ambience. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, it’s summer after all, my favorite time of the year. It’s time to take a break, enjoy the warm weather ( hey, you get to lose weight from perspiring, and get to achieve that gorgeous tan that you’ve wanted! Just wear SPF! *wink* ), and jump in the pool or run to the beach and enjoy the cool splash of water.

This weekend was one of a kind as it was our first trip ever, my best buds from college ( A, and M ), and I. We managed to squeeze four destinations in two days, because of their impossible schedules ( ahh, lawyers ).

I must admit that summer has officially swept me away. In more ways than one.

Posting in progress.

First, I was dropped off at Rockwell , with a big overnight bag that hindered me from walking around, all free, to shop to my heart’s fancy. But then, I proved that it wasn’t much of a hindrance of all because I was able to snag this really, really gorgeous pair of shoes that I’ve been lemming for so long ( I think twas since last year! ). Unboxing it, it’s just a total beauty and I’m in love. My wallet, on the other hand, I feel, hates me now. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, I rode an airplane just to meet this cute little baby! Soo cute and gentle, I tell ya!

It’s taking forever for me to finish my vacation post- maybe it’s just that I blabber too much!

Stay tuned my lovelies!
