Reminiscing

I don't have much to do online and was browsing over the pics that I have a couple of years back in Multiply. Though there was a lot a lot conspiracies, issues and a lot of bickering at that time, the photos that I have back then shows me smiling , laughing and even with my head thrown back with my throat exposed because of my big grin. 


It's funny how I tried erasing those memories but when I look at those pictures, I found myself wishing that I can still be that smiling girl laughing her head off over something that's incredibly simple. Maybe it's the way that I always have faith that regardless of the bad things that are happening around me, I still have something to look forward to. I guess I kinda lost that part of me and instead of concentrating on what good I have in my life, I start zooming in on what I don't have or those that I am the verge of losing. The negativity started seeping inside me and whatever cheerfulness I have is slowly draining out of me, replaced by an overwhelming combination of self pity, anger and jealousy. 


Maybe it's just the pictures showing something that is untrue or it is possible that maybe I was indeed happier at that time. Or maybe I am just feeling under the weather today...Will try to sleep it off if not i'll just rely on my dresses to make me feel good and beautiful. :)

Wishlist for Xmas

It's that time again for a wishlist and right now I find myself looking for a decent android phone and a budget priced digital camera. Been drooling over Experia Ray but when I read the reviews, my awes turned to awwwww. Seems like the memory is a bit lacking and performance is not that special. So now I'm back to square one on which android phone to buy. 


Also wanted a digital camera but still unsure if I would want Sony,Canon or Nikon.Hmmmm will research more and will let you know how it goes. :)

Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky

Animax and Hero are my favorite go to channels when it comes to anime. I was watching Hero earlier and came across this cute anime,come to think of it every anime has it's cuteness factor.


When the commercials came, the title they flashed is Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky. According to Wikipedia, Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky is the title of a Japanese manga created by Kaishaku which was first serialized in the Japanese shōnen manga magazine Monthly Dragon Age in May 2006.

It  revolves around the life of Kū Shiratori, a seemingly normal high school girl, who enjoys school life in the giant city Academia. Academia is thought of as a symbol of recovery for humanity since already ten years have passed since the greatest disaster mankind had ever seen occurred. Kū has recently been having a recurring dream where a prince meets her and takes her away. One day, while all the students at her school are preparing for the upcoming school festival, the prince whom she has met several times in her dreams appears. The prince, whose name is Kyoshiro Ayanokōji, requests of her just as he had done in Kū's dreams, "Let's go, together...."       

It has 12 episodes and I'm pretty sure that what I have seen earlier is the first one. Will try and search if I can download the whole series as I am pretty excited on  how this will turn out.

I've won ! I've won yipeee

I rarely win anything online so it was a surprise that I got a "Congratulations! you've won" email from none other than * drum roll please* Nikki from Askmewhats.com . I thought it was one of those spam letters that got away from Gmail's spam filters but then again I remembered that I have joined the Crumplers give away contest.


I guess due to the movie The lion, the witch and the wardrobe, it wouldn't be so weird to have a carrot, a noose and a limpet in one sentence.   Although carrot is a pretty normal word, the others are ummm well they made me scratch my head and think of several hilarious things especially the word limpet


So thanks again Nikki for proving that I can still be lucky at some point and for the Fruit machine. Can't wait to use those  :)

DIY Trim and Haircut

I am not a fan of haircut and if split ends does not exist then my hair would have been floor length just like Rapunzel by now only it does not have healing powers nor does it glow in the dark. The reason being is that I always ended up looking like some hair cutters guinea pig right at the time that my picture needs to be taken for graduation. 


Since I have made it known that I am online shopper and a fan of DIY, I was so happy that there is someone who is genius enough to invent something that can be used to cut layers on hair without going to a salon. They called it crea clip and  so far I only saw one store selling this. I immediately ordered one and watch the instructional videos posted on the website so I can test if I it easy as they made it look. 


It wasn't but I was able to cut my hair the way I wanted, with layers framing the face and the back was cut v shaped. Now I don't  have to go salons and explain the haircut that I wanted.I can just do it at home yipeeee!

Much ado about tickers and dermas

I just logged in on my facebook after mindlessly reading about facials, derma rollers etc when I saw those horrible tickers, you know those live updates that is posting real time updates of your friends so if you have 1000 plus go figure. I thought I had those disabled when I switched my main language into Filipino but then again maybe I am their first guinea pig for the return of those pesky things. 


I am also reading about dermas since my face is one big oil mine for the past few days. I am intrigued to consult either the infamous Dr.SixF or the budget friendly derma from  Tiende named Dr. Leah. The feedbacks were really enticing because they talk on how their faces improved with the meds and the treatments plus their oiliness have dropped dramatically. My only worry is the pricking part, I scar easily so I don't want those almost invisible marks to be visible and to double up which will lead to another problem. 


I'm thinking of going back to Clarity since the staff there are really friendly. I was suppose to have a diamond peel there last week end but was postponed due to several active pimples and when I gave in to the free consultation, they prescribed some meds like benzoyle peroxide facial wash plus toners, sunblock and something to put on my pimples. The derma didn't even ask about my skin type just what i used on my face. The part that I didn't like. There might be a purging stage when I use those meds.I don't want to go through that again so for now I'll just keep my usual regime plus order my usual gluta from my suking beauty seller :P

Hoping against Hope

Earlier , I was able to chat with the owner of the multiply site where I ordered my contact lens. I was really furious that she kept on deleting my comments on her page and then posting a Pre Christmas promo that she is organizing .She sent in a friend request and then told me what happened to our orders.She apologized and said that  the package is already here in Manila and it was detained in customs. 

She informed me that she sent in text messages to those who ordered from her about her current situation.When I told her that I did not receive any text from her, she asked me to send her a text message which I did. She also said that she replied to all of our messages on Multiply but again when I checked, there was none. I gave her my multiply id and the date when I last messaged her so she can check for herself but after waiting for a few minutes of waiting. She logged off on FB.

I am not sure if I should still hope that I would be getting my order but I appreciate that she explained what is happening to our order.What I don't understand and what pissed me off even more is her habit of deleting comments from customers asking for updates.There are some inconsistencies on her story but I can only wait if what she is claiming is true or not. Will probably wait until this month and if she fails to update us again then there is no other choice left but to report her to the bank and to the groups that she belongs to just so everyone will exercise caution when buying online. 

Lesson learned, regardless if their account is premium or not. We should always be extra careful when it comes to buying things online because there is always a chance that they will turn fraud. :(

Succubus revealed

Oh my god I was finally able to get my hands on the last installment of the Georgina Kincaid series. Just when I thought that I had to order it from amazon.com, there it was on the shelf of Powerbooks. I wasted no time on dragging bf inside  the store and hauling the book over to the cashier counter. Never mind it was not included on my budget for the day, for me a bestselling book like that is worth the financial trouble. 

I was so happy on the ending that I was teary eyed before I was on the last page. It answered a lot of questions though and confirmed a lot of suspicions but then again I can't imagine any other ending for this book. I don't want to give out any spoilers to anyone who has yet to read it so  I would just like to give a big hug to the author who has made this series a very memorable one. 

Karma?

I just wanted to warn everyone from this multiply seller. I have ordered a pair of contact lens from her and paid for my order on Oct 3rd. I have constantly asked her about the status of my order and she said that she is still processing it. The last time that I have asked and received the same reply was on Nov 4. It is now Nov 20 and still no contact lens. 


This is so frustrating and to think that she has a premium account.I have ordered from her before so I didn't think that this could happen to me. Sign :( I am still hoping though.Is this karma since I have placed an order from another site and I will just pay for it tomorrow after I promised that I will pay on Nov 4th? Sigh :(

Another bad day

I am so not in a good today. I just got a warning for my flat shoes during our dress down and then I found out that a certain co worker of mine is trying to spread some rumors about me, good thing my friends don't believe it. Then when I got home, I found out that my brother is using the kindle that I can't use because I cant charge it. When I asked my dad about it, he said that he doesn't need to ask my permission since I am not using the thing anyway. Seriously, he gets mad when his things are taken without asking for his approval then I will get that stupid excuse. 


I'll just sleep it off then before I blow I am seriously tempted to get his things and then throw that stupid excuse on his face. Arrrrghhh.

Dead Tired with very good news

Just got back from my yoga class and I am so freaking tired. Our instructor got us to do advanced stuff with me pretty much looking like a human frog with my face kissing the floor.Didn't really know that i was that flexible till I was able to assume the position with our instructor holding me in place. 

I also got some very good news from my boss. With Thanksgiving drawing near, I don't have to go work on the 24th and the 25th wooohoo.Long week end for me. And then there is a possibility that I will also be at home on the 26th of Dec and Jan 2nd of next year. I am so loving my account right now hehehe. 

Anyways i'll be catching some zzzzs so see yah tomorrow again and I apologize if I wasn't able to blog yesterday. Internet was down for some reason but I'm glad that it's kinda ok now. Better than nothing right :P

Craving for Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings

I am a chickenarian (someone who never gets tired of eating chicken dishes) so if you have been known me for quite some time, it is but normal for me to crave it everyday. I have been browsing earlier looking for something worth while to read when I came across this 

 To think that I just promised myself that I'll go on a diet. Tsk tsk bad internet! 

Anyways since we are talking about this particular dish. I researched this yummy treat and found out that this originated from Buffalo New York. This is usually the wing part of the chicken that is fried with out any breading and then coated with  a vinegar-based cayenne hot pepper sauce  plus butter.Traditionally it is served with celery sticks plus blue cheese or ranch dressing. 

                 Haven't seen any celery sticks on Shakey's when we tried out their version of this sumptuous treat but they do have the blue cheese dressing where we can dip these in.Though I wasn't that impressed when i first tried it , I'll cross my fingers and hope that the next restaurant serving buffalo wings will change my mind and make this next in line to my all time favorite KFC . 

Happy Monthsarry/Bday Baby!

I just wanted to take the time to greet my baby Happy birthday and Happy Monthsarry. 

You have been with me through my ups and downs and I appreciate everything that you have done for me.

I love you and that will never change! 

Take Care always :)

The Gates

I just watched this series a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with  it. Who would find a show that has a succubus, vampires, werewolves, witches all rolled into one. Involving a human oblivious to the secrets of this community made this show much more complex and set it apart from other supernatural themed series. 


Too bad though that ABC decided to cancelled the show just as Charlie's character has been a giving a makeover.There are a lot of interesting plots playing in my mind if there had been another season, they would have delved deeper on the other characters and how they found the Gates or they can just continue on what had happened to Charlie and how Devan's plot will come into play, that sure will be a shocker and will add a whole new twist on the already complicated lives of the residents.

Missing Maple

I have been so busy lately that I was not able to play Maple Story. I am excited to see what they have in store for players like us. Will try to update my installer during the week ends so I can level up yipeee. Anyways will try to sleep now.See yah!  

New Yoga book

During one of our skype sessions with my mom. She showed us a yoga book that she ordered and I was ecstatic because the book is currently on my "wishlist". It was Tara Stiles's book Slim Calm Sexy Yoga, since I want to be slim, sexy(rawr!) and calm then I figured that this would really help me without resorting to diet pills and starving myself to death. 

I have found some pictures showing some of the chapters included on this book and I am satisfied to see that she has included basic poses and some variations to those to maximize the benefits that the reader can get. 

In this picture she shows a variation to the usual downward dog position that makes use of the core. I would imagine that the variation done will help tone the arms and legs since not only will you use your core to maintain the position, you will also need to straighten your legs.  

The standing leg extension will require utmost concentration and also helps strengthen your leg muscles but with the added twist on the variation,this may also help burn fats around the waist. 

When I searched this book on Amazon, it has a whooping 52 reviews and has been rated 5 stars by those who bought the book together with her dvds. If this chapter is as good as the other sections of the book then I could very much understand why it was such a hit. This will help me out a great deal on my yoga classes and I can now try to practice on my own with this as my reference. Now if only my mom would remember to order this one for me as a Christmas present :P

stressed=cracked nail polish

Now I know why they call it Manic Monday.Whew. Had to do reports while answering email asking for password resets and clients asking me to double check the data for last weeks reports. To top it all off, the most important report that I would need to complete was not done because the data I need is not yet available. 

So I was able to leave the office an hour after my log out time. While I was near my place, I chanced upon our local store selling nail polish. Cracked Nail polishes to be exact. I have been wanting one for a long time now and since I am not in the mood to stay up late so that I can pay my purchases at the bank, I bought two colors, orange ( more like pale orange) and baby pink. 

I tested it out and this is what it kinda looks like although I didn't use a base so it kinda just looks like your regular baby pink polish that I didn't do correctly LOL. I was so excited to see it cracked so I lack the usual patience I have.

I browsed online and saw a lot of variations so maybe i'll try it out next time with silver, black or white. Will take a picture of it when I have all those colors. 

For now , I have to go to sleep. See yah! :)

Practicing Yoga

I have been dying (not literally though) to try Yoga  for quite some time  so when I saw a coupon for 150 pesos session a couple of months ago, I bought 4 coupons to try it out and was hooked! I have just finished a class card meaning 12 sessions and will begin a new class card next week.

These are some of the positions that we are doing in class. It doesn't include the back bending and the more challenging ones but then again the posters I found online does not match what we are doing.

When I first started, I haven't been able to do most of properly. I did shortcuts and couldn't concentrate on holding a position for long. Now I can say that I can hold a position as long as I clear my mind of everything and just be aware of what I am doing. What I can't do though is a head stand

The last session I have, our instructor had us try the head stand once again. It was hard and I have this annoying tendency to lean too much and put my chest out too much. I'll try to do it better next time and hopefully I can hold it long enough.

Off to read

Just got my November issues for Women's Health and Cosmo and I am loving the articles that they have.

. 

I have been collecting Cosmo since 2000 so you could imagine how many of these babies I have in my closet. To answer your question, too many to count so I gave the oldest issues away to my  neighbors.

Loving their article about jeans and since my black one just gave out, now I know what to shop for and what to pair them with :)

Haven't read all of the articles yet since I was distracted by the jeans section that they have showcased.

This is the other magazine that I got hooked on.I have started to collect them last 2009 because I wanted to modify my lifestyle into something healthier.Friends always tease me about being diet conscious or something to that effect. But then again it doesn't hurt to be cautious on what to eat and to make sure that we try to exercise as much as we can. After all we are not getting any younger so might as well change for the better before it's too late.

I was intrigued on their article on how I can lose 5, 10,5 or 20 pounds and now I am thinking when I can do the exercises that are illustrated. Some looks easy enough while some looks ummm challenging.

I'll be reading them now after this post since I have just  skimmed sections of it while I was in the office. So see yah tomorrow!

Groupons, Online deals etc

You probably have noticed the rise of online sites featuring vouchers for various gadgets,tickets and services. Cashcashpinoy, dealdozen, Megadeals to name a few are some of the sites that are really popular today. I am not sure who was the genius behind this or when it started but then again I just woke up ( not literally though)that they are all over the place.


To clarify, I am not endorsing any of them. The last time that I have tried availing one of the vouchers offered there was a couple of months ago and I didn't regret it. Up until now, I still go to the place that I have discovered because of that site.


Some of the advantages of looking into the sites are the following 

• Discounts--Most of them have discounts up until 80% for services,gadgets and vacation  packages.Now who could resist those things right?
• Discover new places to explore,shop or eat at ---- if you're a KFC fan (ehem!) and is on the verge of growing your own set of chicken wings at your back, then you can have the capability to now try new restos, or if you always shop at the Jag store then you can now try going to Levis :)
• Save and Splurge at the same time-- I know it's ironic to find those two words together but then again if your usual facial ranges from 400 to 500 and you can get it for half the price then you are successful  on this one :)

If there are good things then to be fair, I will also need to explain the disadvantages just so you know what you're getting into LOL

• Budget for the week/month/year will be ruined----if it's not planned and it's just something you wanted to try out of the blue then you may end up spending the cash that you have allotted for next week thereby making you financially crippled for some time.
• It might not be worth it after  all-- If you have been lured there by the pics and testimonials only to find out it's far from what it says on the site. You have just been duped girl and no money back service as well if you are not satisfied. You bought it and paid for it so it's a done deal.

So now that I have explained the good and the bad side of those sites. What I can say is that take advantage of the discounts that you can fit on your budget.Be very wise on choosing which deal you think is worth it. If it's something that is renowned to have good feedback from regular cust then go ahead and avail it.If you have your doubts and the deal seems too good to be true then research research and research.
