Midnight Snack

Bracing ourselves for excruciating tummy pain tomorrow...but it's worth it.

Esem is THE Place to Be

Today was spent mostly walking around SM (esem) North Edsa for my dreaded Christmas shopping. Gawd. Yup, am a believer of the art of cramming, but I think am almost halfway done with my list. Oh, in less than 5 minutes of walking around, we were greeted by Michael Antonio suede camel wedges (will post look shots tomorrow) which we brought back to the car immediately for ease of further shopping. Haha!

Paulo missed Mann Hann sooo much that we had dinner there just 4 hours after stuffing our faces with Manang's chicken wings (which, in our opinion is waaay better than Bonchon). Here are some photos we managed to take today.

Ano sa palagay mo?

YOU don't get to say sorry.

She's staring at me, I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking
Nobody's talking, cause' talking just turns into screaming
And now as I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me,
all that that means is neither of us are listening,
and what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for)
nothing, (crying for)
nothing, (oohh)

When we won't let it go for nothing, (come back for)
nothing,
it should be nothing
to a love like what we got oh baby

I know sometimes it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
cause' I can't sleep through the pain (can't sleep through the pain)
girl I don't want to go to bed, mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me
no I don't want to go to bed mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me (oh noo)

And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing
(asking questions like you already know)
we're fighting this war, but baby both of us are losing
(this ain't the way that love is supposed to go, what happened to working it out?)
We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down,
so what the hell do we do now?

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for)
nothing, (crying for)
nothing... (oohh)

When we won't let it go for nothing,
nothing,
it should be nothing
to a love like what we got oh baby

I know sometimes it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
cause' I can't sleep through the pain (can't sleep through the pain)
girl I don't want to go to bed mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me
no I don't want to go to bed mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me (oh noo)

Oh baby this love ain't gone be perfect, (perfect perfect oh no)
And just how good it's gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight long as everything is alright between us before we go to sleep...

Baby we're gonna be...

Happy.... Baby....

ohhhh....ohhhh

I know sometimes it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
cause' I can't sleep through the pain (can't sleep through the pain)
girl I don't want to go to bed mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me
no I don't want to go to bed mad at you
and I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me (oh noo, nooo, noo)

Part 1

I first met you at school. That was almost four years ago...


...We met everyday but never talked in class, until chance in a form of a physics lab assignment made me call you up and ask you for help...


...I remember that moment I walked beside you, acting coyly...


...Small talk. It was on that call when I realized how much of a kid you were. So much like me...


... I took care of you. Made sure you were okay and that you had the support you needed to pull through...


...I didn't know that I was welcoming you into my life as well...


And for one unguarded moment, I allowed you to take hold of my emotions.

Memories of India

I spent a month of my life in India last year.  At the hotel, the trailer of Break Ke Baad (I never watched this kasi di ko naman mauunawaan, walang English subtitles) played over and over and over again.  The theme song was my LSS for weeks -- I don't speak their language, pero I get kilig everytime I hear this.   Here's the music video, trailer is here.

Pre-Midnight Snack.

Kung may "pre-midnight", ibigsabihin may midnight snack pa.  Syempre, I can't make tiis not eating my favorite ice cream.  Bawal mag-diet. Wheee.

FIC Pistachio (Php 380)

Syempre pinasok ko ang ref namin to take this photo. Pwede ko naman ilabas na lang yun ice cream tub diba? Wanku ba.

I had konti lang naman =P

Ang traffic.  Sale sa Trinoma.  Sale sa Eastwood.  Grabe lang. 

New scent.

and of course, a smart cover...

Shoe Phobia

After *the* San Pablo City incident, I now find myself cringing at the sight of stilletos, platforms and women risking their precious ligaments for the sake of fashion.

Here's a photo with Emong with my then fearless self.  Now, imagine wearing those shoes and walking through gravel *shivers*.  I think I need hours of therapy to overcome my newly-acquired fear of sky-high heels (never thought I'd put "fear" and "shoes" together in a sentence).

Oh, I have those shoes in another color also.  I think am suicidal.

Killer Heels

11.12.11. Witth lack of sleep, I roadtripped (new verb, quote me please) with my friends to attend Nicel's wedding.  I'd have to say that Metro Manila traffic is the reason why we missed the wedding services (and not our non-negotiable stopovers at (1) SLEX for food and (2) random streets in Laguna to ask for directions).  We arrived at church post-recession so we went to the reception instead.  Had great food with a happy bunch of people, so it was all good.  Stressful, yes but very informative -- thanks to Joan.  Congratulations, Nicel and Ray!

Now, let's move on to the more important event of that day.  I wanted to get out of my clothes and change into something more comfortable (after eating at the reception) so me and a couple of my friends went back to the car.  It was getting dark and I didn't want to strut around blindly in my heels because I thought I might fall over.  True enough, while walking, I fell...hard...plakda talaga sa gravel...nakahuli ng mga 10-15 baby shokoys (surprise, surprise).  Kirk thought it was his fault but for those who know me and my love affair with accidents, this is very much normal.  So apart from the ABAP soap (souvenir from the wedding) and ABAP candle (which we stole from our dining table), I took home an ABAP sprain. 

11.13.11.  Now, boys and girls, my right foot is swollen (horrific and funny at the same time).  I've been in bed, feet propped up a huge pillow AND I was not able to shop (I usually time my shopping frenzy during Manny Pacquiao's fight to avoid mall pandemonium). Too much for suffering for the sake of fashion.

"Ang dami mo pa naman biniling ganyang shoes. Tsk." -- Mom (at home while making kwento embarassing facts about my life to my mabait na driver)

So this is how rock-bottom feels like.  I think I like it here.

In Desperate Need of Some "Me" Time

I have been planning to go to Baguio since last month AND surprise, surprise...I haven't really come close to actually buying a bus ticket from Victory Liner.  I really hope I can get some alone time there before Paulo arrives.  Maybe the cool and easy vibes at Ayuyang will do some magic.

Here are the only 2 photos I could grab from my Facebook account which were taken from Baguio.  I think I took these with my first ever Canon digicam which I have laid to rest a few years back.  Walang pakelaman, gusto ko may photos yun post ko eh.  Walang sense, sorry. 

Haaay.

Tanger Outlet at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Catching up on super delayed posts from our East Coast roadtrip.  We had the Tanger bus to ourselves! Sweet!  We had brunch at iHop then shopped, shopped and shopped some more (no tax in Delaware!).  We're dead tired by the end of the day but my fat face had the biggest smile in the world (me likey my Kate Spade).

This bus is pimped oooout!  Leather seats + carpet and oh and there's free bottled water for tired shoppers.
