Turning a year old is not a joke. I’ve dreaded crossing over, growing older, or just progressing. I want to be a kid forever. But as if I had a choice! I’m glad that people who love me have been comforting me in the fact that it does not really suck to turn a year older, as they celebrated it with me!

…well, I’m not going to talk about the new Anson’s actually. I’m going to talk about its NEW and super high-tech carpark!

We were on the way to Glorietta when my dad suddenly asked, “Where are we parking?”, I mumbled, “the usual.”, and he said, “well, you’re the usual is already nonexistent. There’s no Parksquare 2 anymore.” Okay, I cannot be blamed for not knowing because (1) I don’t drive, and (2) if ever I frequent Makati, I commute because it’s so expensive to use a car to go to Makati ( gosh, the prices for gasoline are way ridiculous already and I could go to Glorietta for a mere 25 bucks by LRT and MRT ! ).

Anyway, going back, we decided to park at Anson’s building, the latest project of Ayala Malls. My dad parked there yesterday while he was waiting for me to finish shopping for makeup school supplies. We were in such shock when after the guard checking the car, my dad had to stop on the card slot, virtually “stamp” his thumb for a fingerprint record, as the card slot took a picture of our car, as it released the parking card! All I could say - high tech, hi tech, and reason enough to charge fifty bucks flat rate? I really hope they’d lower it a bit though! Fifty’s a bit too step for mall parking - I’d take it if they would build a bridge connecting Anson’s and Landmark at least, so that we wouldn’t have to cross the street to go to Landmark. Pfft.

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.

This hilarious video that I’ve watched from The Bubble Gang weeks ago, has been my LSS.

It’s darn hilarious. Looks like there are guys who have hidden grudges with materialistic gals. Hahahaha!

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 »

Dear Marimar,

My day was at its worst today as I woke up at the wrong side of the bed. To top it off, a friend of mine just won’t listen to me as I try to talk some sense into her. Muy frustrating. I was swamped with work, and I was in low spirits today as well, I might be PMS-ing. Could anything go worse today?

NOT! Because I’m pretty, pretty sure, that you made my day ( night, that is, ) because of this!

When I received an invite for the Sunsilk Press Launch, I immediately said yes for I was impressed with the Life Can’t Wait Campaign. It inspired me to be a go getter, not wait any moment further, and well, spoil my hair even more! When C told me that you were gonna be there, being a HUGE Marian Rivera slash Marimar fan , who stays home every night just to watch every single episode, I knew I needed to be there to see you in the flesh!

Gifts I Want to Receive On V-Day

Got this from Sasha.
Ayay, February, oh February. You are making me so darn mushy! ( It rhymes! ) The answers below might make you think that I’m a dreamer, well, it’s just me trying to preserve my dreaminess while I still can!

1. Dinner.
I love food, and nothing can sweep me away more than a hearty dinner. It doesn’t have to be necessarily fancy, all I need is good food, with big servings, and the thought that someone would know my favorite food ( by being observant ) is already enough. Or maybe, I’d love to try something new, too. Cook for me? I’ll swoon. But really, the company is most important, too. Don’t let me eat alone, please

2. A Day at the Beach
I know, I know, it’s quite demanding to ask someone to spend a day with me at the beach during Valentines’ Day since traffic is at its worst! But then, it doesn’t hurt to dream a quiet day at the beach, just lazing around, leaving all worries behind just for a day. And please let me photograph you - you better pose!
