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.

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.

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!

I started liking Moony’s music way back in college , and I first heard her song from the music player of my boss ( from my OJT days). My favorite song that she sang would probably be Dove, but just lately, she released a new track called “For Your Love,” which I absolutely love, and is LSS ( last song syndrome ) material.

Last night ( Saturday ), during the CLEAR Black Parade Black Valentine’s Concert, she was able to sing For Your Love, Point of View, Dove ( twice ), Acrobats ( twice, ) and other songs, and even sang acapella (someone correct my spelling )! I was absolutely thrilled to listen to her song For Your Love ( considering I’ve been playing it nonstop for two weeks ). I have observed that half of the crowd were just standing and appreciating Moony’s strong, amazing voice, but half of the crowd were dancing, and fully enjoying themselves, including me ( well, I swayed, okay ! ) Read the rest of this entry »

A key signifies the our power of making decisions. Keys are used to open doors, trying to unlock something and revealing surprises and new stuff, and even locking some doors. One can always choose the doors he/she could open, because one is to be held responsible for whatever happens - be it good and bad. The key, the decision-making power of everyone, is a powerful tool that must be well thought of before doing it.

This year, I’ve used my “key” more than I have ever did in my entire life. This year was a big year of change for me as I used my key to open doors, experience new adventures, meet new people, expand my horizons, and tap into foreign territory. I’ve also admittedly used my key without thinking a few times that led my emotions to fluctuate and lead to regret. But hey, regrets are nightmares of the heart that are better let go of than clutched in the chest. So , better yet, experience, may it be good or bad, must be well-remembered. Good experience should be used to treasure and be a driving force to look forward and enjoy life, and bad experience should be lessons learned, as life is a teacher that teaches not from lectures beforehand, but after events occur.

The year 2007 was definitely a year of change, or maybe coming of age for me as I was able to experience alot of new stuff that I’ve never dreamed of.

Hi, my name is Sophie. I am a Marimar addict.

I used to ignore Channel 7 and rest my loyalty to the best local channel in the country, Channel 2, until Marimar. Marian Rivera is my ultimate girlcrush and idol, and if ever I would want to undergo plastic surgery, I would want to look exactly like her - the angelic face, the curvy figure, don’t forget the waistline!

Yes, I cry buckets whenever Sergio breaks Marimar’s heart, and I screech with kilig when they have their “moments.”

I also happen to hate Innocencia, the ultimate traitor bestfriend of Marimar, who has her self interests in the front seat as she competes for Sergio’s attention and love. Well, it’s no competition after all, because Sergio’s chasing Marimar, and Innocencia’s chasing Sergio. Who’s chasing Innocencia? Nobody ( sounds familiar? I used My Best Friend’s Wedding’s script hehe )

My loathe for Rodolfo San Gines ( or Inis, as they say ) is sky high that I want him thrown in the nearest Lion’s den. Boy, the lions must be hungry, that I hope he’d do. Baka ibalik, e. Hahaha

Whatelse? Hmm..I’ve got too much to tell! I think I might be brewing something up from this addiction. Haha!

I think I broke the record on my shortest sleep ever, which occurred last Friday - a whopping two hours! I’ve never appreciated my adrenaline rush until Saturday that helped me function just fine!

After two days worth of sleepless nights, nonstop makeovers and selling mineral makeup, and eating NY Fries for lunch, I’m finally smiling! I’ll probably drift to sleep in a bit, but I’ll be smiling in my sleep! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a crazy, crazy weekend, and I’ll save that for tomorrow’s post. Thank God I’m at home again!

This is some immediate cuteness overload that just brightened my day.

Meet my favorite cousin C. He’s 3 years old and speaks in English!

He looks at the steamed lapu-lapu on the table, and says,

“it’s not moving, it’s not moving, because it is luto.”

Awww I love him! We ended up chasing each other, and me acting like a little kid again!

Another one? The cutiepie sister of C, M! Read the rest of this entry »

Well, let me first say that this must be crazy weather. My psychic has told me that I would be very fulfilled this season, but I had no idea that I would be going through alot and I mean ALOT to deserve the fulfillment as it hits December 25th. Haha.

First, the good stuff. I am so addicted to Marimar! I promised myself that I wouldn’t watch or even dare switch the channel to Channel 7 ( I literally ban people who come in my room from watching local TV on Sundays because variety shows make me so irritable, vibes just don’t mix ), but lately, when the clock turns 9, even when I’m still in the office, I open the TV and watch Marimar ! God, Marian Rivera is just SO BEAUTIFUL. Whenever I’d watch her, I just couldn’t believe how beautiful she is, and I am so envious of her figure. Well, we can call her my girlcrush! The storyline’s very exciting too, and I find myself screeching with “kilig” , just because Dingdong Dantes ( whom, I think , really improved immensely and became even more gorgeous this time ) and Marian Rivera just have sizzling hot chemistry. And I mean beyond sizzling plates!
