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!

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.

It’s been long overdue, and I’m horribly incoherent on this. Forgive me. Too much thoughts swimming in my head, I better let this out

The weekend was great. Never moved so much. Hahaha!

Thursday

Was about to attend the B5Media Dinner but for security reasons, my folks held me under house arrest. I had a bad feeling that if I defied them,I will be in trouble with my heart beating badly. So there, I didn’t push thru. Binge ate Jollibee as always ( yum, for their palabok ), and enjoyed the chilly weather.

Gorgeous lady bloggers *whistles*+ me
Friday
Attended the Blogger Mixer at Kape Isla , Serendra, and brought along my crazy buds Roanne and Phoebe with me. It was fun meeting new people, seeing old friends, and talking about - yes, makeup! The highlight of the party was of course the lovely and fashionable Shai Coggins, who is ultra successful and inspiring. Lurv her accent. Obsessed with her accent! Sasha made me feel that I must do some dieting with her effortless chic ensemble ( I wanna fit in those socks, girl! ) . I think I had a bad case of coffee overdose ( see, I’m really orally fixated, I’m damned ) that I wasn’t able to sleep until the wee hours of the morning! Was on the phone with R, and it was fun hearing her flirty and tipsy voice during such ungodly hours. The things we do after work! Haha!

I’m just a normal girl that spends my weekends if not at home, but with my best buds exercising our taste buds with food tripping, and watching movies together. On a Saturday night. But thinking that this would be my last free weekend with my monstrous schedule ahead, I decided to maximize it and well, do something different.

Come Friday night, my friends and I attended the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Phone Party as media (well, bloggers are media! ) . The newly unveiled 5310 was ultra thin, and very very oohlala-ish. I want one! In attendance were bloggers Sasha ( whose new hair color, I lurv ) and Rico, Abe, and Jayvee, as I was with my hot girl friends Roanne and Angel, with my “bodyguard” Mike. Oh, I missed this kind of clubbing music - no one was dancing, but it was great music since I saw someone playing the violin, reminds me of my favorite band, Bond. I actually enjoyed the party even if I drank a wee bit too much. End result? I get nauseated when I see bottles of wines and beers. No more drinking for now!

This month is all about pink, because it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Honestly, I wouldn’t know how it felt, or nor do I have any relative that has battled this dreaded sickness, but then I greatly empathize ( I am such an empath I always get teary eyed! ) with those who have battled it with great courage, as well as for those who have felt so much pain losing their loved ones with it. I don’t think I would be able to handle it courageously as other women out there if a loved one would have a problem like this, so I am all the way for awareness of Breast Cancer, and ways on how to prevent it.

This month is also associated with my favorite color, and I am definitely screaming pink right now as my own way of campaigning for this cause!

Aside from my pink, pink blog, I have also joined Dexie’s pink contest over at StyleitLess.

My official entry? Check it out! All my pink stuff! Read the rest of this entry »

For the past few months, I’ve been out of control blogging the nights away and trying to develop some new sites ( which I have yet to do ). I just have so much ideas in my head that I want to do everything, but having only one pair of hands and one brain, I can only do as much as I can right now.

Just today, I am officially a B5Media blogger for Beauty Gizmo, a blog about beauty tools and gadgets. I know - too much beauty blogging for me already? I don’t think so. I’ve never enjoyed blogging this much - even when I am down and depressed, sometimes, I just couldn’t write it down, but I could always utter a word about makeup or skin care whenever someone would need the advice, or I would always feel like writing something beauty-related. Blogging gives me a natural high - it unleashes the inner writer in me, as well as boosts my self esteem, that I feel good about helping people, and also, being recognized and appreciated by readers. Feels good. Read the rest of this entry »

Things might not have been happening the way I want them to be, but in the midst of all of these, it only takes one thing to make my day -

That is to be able to have a sneak peak of the new and improved Watson’s, the latest beauty and wellness wonderland in SM Mall of Asia. Watch out for my feature in Beautynomics. When I saw the place, I seriously wanted to have it all to myself!

Yeah, it only takes that to make me feel alive again!

Why the weird title of the entry? Well, before I tell you my story of the day, I’d like to share the good news that my beauty blogging earned a feature in the Manila Bulletin’s Blog-o-Rama today! Whoopee!

To view the full article, read it here (I scanned it, and Sarabeth patched them all together! Haha!)

A web copy can be found here

And another one, Teri of Beautiful Makeup Search emailed the Beauty Blog Network Yahoogroups to say that she saw my blog show up on Today’s Show on NBC Today! View the clip, and watch it here! Absolute yayness!

Well, going back to how the heck needles came in the story, today, tons of needles pierced my skin!

Sometimes I think that I want to be an expert in everything, and do things on my own. Learn CSS and PHP ( which I eventually gave up with ), photography ( which I eventually made my younger sister Straw learn instead, ) and graphics ( which I eventually let Sarabeth do. ). As much as I want to do everything, I have learned that I should specialize in some thing, instead of attempting to want to do everything. Much, much practical.

Anyway, stumbling upon a Multiply site of Niko, I got to admire his talent for vector drawing. I would never have thought that Niko would have the passion, and patience to work in Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Draw for that matter, and be that creative, since he graduated with a degree of Industrial Engineering, and all I could relate to that course are the jargons, “ergonomics”, “operations research”, and “thermodynamics”, and of course, “mathmathmath.”

Here are some of his work :

Smart, eh?

I’m all scatterbrain this weekend, but I have thoughts flying in my head. Let me just get some off my mind by blogging in bulletpoint :

On Transformers the Movie. Everyone’s been raving about it all week and I’m so so wanting to watch this movie! I was a fan of Transformers the series during my childhood days, and whenever I hear “Transformers,” there is a melody that instantly plays in my mind (” tanananan “…basta, the sound they play after the word Transformers is said! ). I was very young then, and I just kept confusing Transformers with Voltes Five because with Voltes Five, it’s like “Let’s…( some second worth of silence ) volt.. ( a slight pause again )…in! ” Haha! My mom and dad are supposed to bring me along tomorrow for accupuncture or some checkup by a Chinese doc because of the stress that I have been complaining about , but I almost blurted, “Hey Dad, can we make it next week? I’m watching Transformers.” I didn’t have the heart to say that during lunchtime since they might choke! Hahaha!
