I really dislike Cyber clutter so I am thinking about deleting this account.
I have...
3 Multiply accounts (1 for myself, 1 for Poisonberry, 1 for Soda Pop)
2 Twitter accounts (1 for myself, 1 Poisonberry)
1 Tumblr account
1 Blogger account
1 Facebook account
1 LJ account
1 Looklet account
1 Chictopia account

Now, which one to delete? I'd delete LJ if not for the hundreds of entries I've posted in the past.

Back to LJ.. for now.

I finally got to hit the gym again after what, 2 weeks of absence. Things have just really been hectic for me and today was the only time I got to have some time to myself. I get to breathe a sigh of relief now since last week I made it a point to finish all my requirements for this week. I wanted to free up my birthday week as much as possible so I have time to dilly dally and do whatever I want!

I haven't been posting much on LJ because I realized most of my LJ friends haven't been posting either! For the past months I've been hooked on Twitter. It's great because people update regularly on Twitter and it's easier to connect! With Twitter I can post anything I feel and be totally random by posting one-liners and whatnot.

Aside from Twitter, I've been enjoying my Tumblr account as well. It disturbs me having too much accounts online. I feel like I'm taking up too much cyberspace (LOL)! But I can't ever bring myself to delete this account. LJ's too precious for me as it holds too much of my memories. I've already bid adios to Xanga & Friendster a long time ago though.

5 days 'til my 2nd most favorite day in a year!
1 & 1/2 months 'til sembreak & Singapore with Den!
3 & 1/2 months 'til Christmas break & Nepal/India with my family and family friends!
6 months 'til the end of my academic life in Ateneo!
7 months 'til graduation!

I CANNOT WAITTTT!

BLACK & WHITE: COMING SOON.

Bitchology
[info]rl_829
I got this in my email and I thought I'd share it. Sounds exactly like me!

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,

they call me a bitch.


When I stand up for those I love,

they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind,
think my own thoughts or do things my own way,

they call me a bitch.


Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it,
I am
defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for
myself instead of being everyone's maid,
or when I act a little selfish.


It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I 'should' be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.

I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me,
try to douse my inner flame,
try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.

You won't succeed.


And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.

I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

Yearbook Write-up for Ronna
[info]rl_829
My friend Ronna asked a bunch of her friends to drop her a line or two for her write-up. Here's what I wrote:
***
In one word, Ronna is a fighter.

A fighter that faces her battles head-on and fights to the very end, a fighter who always stands up for what she believes is right and a fighter who never thinks of herself but is willing to take on even the fight of her friends.

But behind the facade of her tough-girl image lies a simple girl. Never pretentious and always rooted to the ground, Ronna is as real as anyone can get.

Yearbook Write-up for Den
[info]rl_829
Here's what I wrote for Den's write-up. I hope she likes it!
***
Immediately, Den is known for her impressive grades and her outstanding performance in school. Responsible and diligent, every task assigned to her is done in good quality. But for the people who really know her know that she’s really more than her consistent dean’s list record.

In fact if given the chance, Den would rather spend time with her closest friends engaging in a fun and spontaneous activity. Otherwise, nights out are spent people-watching, recapping the latest episode of SNN and The Buzz, talking about the latest looks and trends, and sharing the latest shopping haunts – all while sipping on a Green Tea Latte and/or recently over a serving of fro-yo.

But what goes even deeper than her addiction to showbiz and shoes is her accommodating and warm personality that is extended to everyone, her loyalty to her friends both new and longtime alike and her undeniable love for her sisters.

All Buttoned Up!
[info]rl_829
Some friends of mine recently launched an accessory line called All Buttoned Up. While not a lot of their products has still been put up on the site, several have been posted already. My favorite would have to be the Alien Crochet Necklaces!

For only Php150 you get to fully customize your alien depending on the colors that you want. To see what colors are available click HERE. And if these aliens aren't your cup of tea, you can also get yourself a Popsicle Necklace instead!
 

Photoshoot!
[info]rl_829



We had a shoot for MEG Magazine today. It's coming out this September!
My face is horrifyingly white I know. HAHAHAHA
 

Jitters!
[info]rl_829
I'm feeling nervous and jittery lately, probably because of all the things I have lined up for this week.

Poisonberry
  • MEG Photoshoot (Wed)
  • 3-day bazaar at Trinoma (Thurs-Sat)
  • UST Fashion Show @ Intramuros (Sat)
School
  • ACTM Course Talk hosting (Wed)
  • LS172 Individual Paper (Wed)
  • Guidance Testing (Fri)
  • MKT171 Group Report (Sat)
Then there's my dentist appointment, Kada get together, etc. But one thing I'm really worried about is Poisonberry! There's around a hundred plus orders and it's taking too long to produce them all. I don't even know if we have enough for the bazaar and the fashion show this weekend! On top of that, a lot of the customers aren't replying to my texts/PMs.

Sana weekend na ulit.

Shoe Addiction
[info]rl_829
Today I acquired 3 more pairs of shoes. I'll post them next time, I'm still lazy to take them out of their respective boxes but oh, they are love! :) I am not materialistic ha, just shoe-holic. :)) Because of my shoe addiction, I'm running out of space to store them all! So right after I finished dinner, I decided to fix them and re-organize my shoes.

Rack #1: Rubbershoes, Sneakers, Trekking Sandals,
Crocs & Flip-flops + Naliligaw na yellow mary janes


Rack#2: Everything else that lost their boxes!
Check out my rain boots at the bottom most row. :))


Rack#3: Shoes in still in boxes a.k.a my current favorites!
The ones without boxes are those I don't know where to place and
there's another naliligaw pink pair on the floor that I might just throw or give away


I think I need one of these shoe wheel things from IKEA. Cool, yeah?


Susan, Susan!
[info]rl_829


Apparently she had to be hospitalized after she lost Britain's Got Talent.
What a tragic story!
I guess there really was too much pressure for her to win, huh?
 

RARR.
[info]rl_829
I am currently HATING our seamstress.
Talk about being UNprofessional!
RARRRRRR.
Really, really, really bitchin' now!
I don't want the next collection to get delayed. :(

Bishi Baby!
[info]rl_829
My good friends know that I play favorites when it comes to my shih-tzus. Among the three, Bishi gets the most love and affection. So it's not at all surprising that he's the spoiled one, the moody one and the easiest to get annoyed when made fun of.

Because I always gush over and call him for nothing he ends up not minding me whenever I really need him to come over (unless of course, there's food). :|  My parents say he's so much like me, masungit and grumpy at times. Gee, salamat ha. :)) But still, isn't he a darling!





Favorite!
[info]rl_829
Even before they were together, both of them were my favorite actor and actress. So imagine the joy I experienced when they got together. Here at Cannes 2009. They've been together for years now but they're still so in love eh?

Dampa Fever
[info]rl_829
So my parents and I absolutely love going to Dampa. Before the current Dampa, we used to go to the original Seaside Market along Roxas for Crab w/ Oyster Sauce. We stopped going for around 10 years and went back again when we heard a new Dampa was open. We usually go there when we've got visitors from abroad or if not, we go with the Go-Cedenio's who love Dampa as much as we do. And each time we go, we never fail to order a KILO of prawns for tempura!

 

A kilo of prawns is roughly around P450 then the paluto is P250. P700 for around 25 pieces of Tempura! Not bad I should say. You should be really careful when choosing seafood, a lot of vendors tend to trick you and give you rotten seafood.


Of Friends & Friendships
[info]rl_829
I used to be close with two people. It was great hanging out with them and I felt we were on the same wavelength. I distanced myself from them when I slowly started to feel that they've changed. Suddenly they've changed into badmouthing, backbiting, snobbish & elitist people -- completely different from how I knew them back then.  It's good that I've separated myself from them because really, negativity is something I really don't want to have anymore in my life.

Last I heard, they've started saying things about me as well. I can't say I'm surprised, I knew it would come down to this up eventually but so what, at least I'm not pushing all my friends (or basically the whole world) away with elitist remarks. The sad thing is though, I know ONE of them has a better heart than the other, it's just getting lost as part of that (not so dynamic) duo.

It's things like these that make me thing about the friendships I've established in the past years. Back then, I'd have tons of people whom I can label as true friends. Times have made me re-think things though, especially with the new experiences and the various changes we've all gone through. Today, there are only a handful of people I'm ready to entrust my life with. I'm not at all saddened by this in fact, I feel good knowing that FINALLY I know who my genuine friends are.
