Shopping and to the beach (4 Comments)


The highlight of our second day here in Florida — I DROPPED MY V9 ON CEMENTED GROUND. @_@;;; That kinda broke my heart. *lol* Second highlight — getting pulled over by a hot cop. *roflmao*


With lola and Maruya~



TJ Maxx


Anyway, spent the morning plurking, downloading vids, and listening to the news since grandpa fell asleep. Then we went out in the afternoon. We went to TJ Maxx where I almost bought a Nine West bag. I had to stop myself by going to Dollar Tree. *lol* Then we headed to SAKS and MACY’s. Gawd, SAKS will drill a hole in my wallet and probably my cc even with their Christmas sale. ~_~ Macy’s, on the other hand, dropped down their prices. My Dad was able to buy a $30 suit that was originally $180. O_O I did my shopping in Victoria’s Secret though. I dragged my brother to help me choose colors and designs. *roflmao* I bet it was really weird for him. XDDD;

Brother: Why are you so concerned about the design? Is someone going to see ‘em?
Me: Uhh… XDDD Maybe?

WTF *roflmao*

Obviously, people don’t read anymore (2 Comments)


I removed some people off my reading list. I always read their blogs and leave comments, but I never hear from them in mine. I’m being selfish again I know. ~_~ But sometimes I also want some ♥in’.

Just recently I finished Californication Season 1. I suffered 2 nights of major headaches. That’s why I hate series in DVD format. You know, those only playable in standalone DVD players, because I can’t stay too long in front of the TV. UGH~ DAMMIT. If it weren’t for David Duchovny, I wouldn’t watch the whole season 1 Californication. I finished it in 2 nights since it’s only 12 episodes. :P It’s possible to finish this in one sitting, but I feel weird watching the episodes with sex scenes when my parents are around. My brother also doesn’t want me to finish it ahead of him. I would watch with my PC, but I’d suffer back pains on my wooden chair. Lying on my bed while watching is not good either being near-sighted. :P I wrote a short background here.

I splurged on 35mm films before the Surigao trip. I got myself some fresh Lucky Color 200 (lower than the SRP XD) and fresh Solid Gold 200. Then my parents brought home some cheap Fuji films from, I think, Walgreens. :P To add more, Lola Lily gave 2 boxes of expired Kodak Gold 200 (must test to see how the pictures will come out) and Tita Pricilla bought me 2 boxes of fresh Fuji 400. Now they’re all zip-locked and stored in the crisper. XD Since Green-ade would be needing 120 films, I ordered from Adorama. I wanted to buy more, but I had to control myself. My parents would kill me if they see my cc bill go skyhigh just because of those. Next on my to-buy list is the LC-A. I wish a green version would come out. XDDD (Btw, magnetic_rose, will email you about your Polaroid films. They already arrived sa officemate ng Dad koSiya na lang mismo hinihintay ko dumating dito. *lol*)

Before the film buying, I was already on a spending spree. I gave in to temptation and bought these on eBay.ph:

Tamagotchi toys


I made a compilation of local shops that sell manga in the T-A Forum. Some were suggested by others so credit goes to them. ^_^

Booksale MCS
CATS Collectibles Greenhills
Comic Quest SM North EDSA
Comic Odyssey Robinson’s Place Malate
Comic Odyssey TriNoma
Fully Booked Rockwell
Fully Booked High Street
National Bookstore
Powerbooks ATC
Powerbooks Greenbelt 3
Powerbooks Mall of Asia
Powerbooks SM Megamall
Powerbooks TriNoma
Skybucks SM Fairview
Yamazaki Japanese Grocery Store (Near MCS? Can anyone confirm?)

So far, I find the collection at Powerbooks TriNoma and Fully Booked High Street worth looking at. If only some manga are open for free-reading at Fully Booked, I would have to start LIVING there. XDDD

Man, I’ve been so busy lately. My to-do list gets longer as more stuff are needed to be done. I spent two days organizing my room. It’s about 80% finished. I got a new bookshelf where I can finally put my manga, novels, and DVDs. A bit unfortunate that I can’t access my terrace anymore because we placed the bookshelf just beside the door. *lol* I hardly use the terrace anyway. Had a bit of a phobia going there after seeing (with Pebbles) a guy masturbating. Eww~ It would be alright if it’s a HOT guy, but he isn’t… So… XP Aside from room cleaning, it has also been busy with most of my relatives from the US here. Shopping, dinners, lunches, a wedding, etc… The talking and walking is very tiring. :| But it was overall fun. I had Mac join us in one of our dinners. I’m glad my relatives didn’t “interrogate” him or something. *lol* He was a big help to one of my Lola when we went shopping. She had him fit the 2 barong she bought from Tutuban. XDDD

NDS Lite accesorries hunt, oath-taking, and plugs (0 Comments)


What the hell!? That was painful to watch. XP

I got myself busy after parents got back by updating my “online shop” as well as playing Cooking Mama 2 on the DS Lite. ^^ Speaking of DS Lite, my boyfriend & I went out last Monday afternoon to look for its accessories. But before we got to, I had to pick up my Mom’s phone from Nokia’s service center (Glorietta 2 branch). Man, they really make you wait there. It was fine if they got the phone fixed, but they didn’t. We were told to have it fixed at the service center in Greenbelt. XP Anyway, so we went on to our DS Lite accessories hunt. What I needed first was a case. I couldn’t find anything nice, cool, pretty, durable, etc. Maybe I was just having a hard time choosing because having my period makes me go biatch & choosy at everything. *lol* I wasn’t looking for anything else yet, but I saw a shop in Park Square 1 selling a DSTT. Its price is lower than the R4 which you guys told me before was around Php2.5K+. I almost bought it, but changed my mind because I thought that the case is more important than that. I still have the Cooking Mama 2 to amuse me anyway. XD;

When I went to Goldcrest, a lot of stalls were selling DSTTs too. I asked about R4, but none of them has it. There’s one stall there that sells the DSTT real cheap and still cheap even when a micro SD card will be added. Hmm… Very tempting. I should meet someone who uses the DSTT to give me an opinion on it. I’ve Googled the DSTT, instead, found out that R4 can hardly be found on shops these days. O_o I’ve come to the conclusion that the R4 is very common because it was common and very available before while the DSTT is still brand new. The R4 will probably be phased out. :/

After much walking, window-shopping, and debating on what to get first, I got those plastic case with silicone inside. My cerveza negra DS Lite is all covered up. :/ It took me hours to decide on what to buy. But when I was going through my Blinklist links, I found a site that sells pretty NDS Lite pouches. *_* I hate it when that happens — finding something better than what I just bought. Since I’m on the topic about DS Lites, please suggest games! :DDD

I had the oath-taking last Sunday. It was kinda sad being there without my family. Everybody else were (or was?) with their parents, friends, or bf/gf. But it was still cool. The food Manila Hotel served us and the whole ceremony cost less than the ticket fee. After “robbing” me of the ticket fee, the folks there even wiped out my money with the photographer fee. Then I owe the PSSE (Phil. Society of Sanitary Engineers) treasurer Php500. If they accepted credit cards, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. I hate bringing a LOT of cash.

The ceremony went out fine. Too formal actually and there were a lot of picture taking. It was like a press conference of actresses or actors promoting a movie. :P

Hmm, that’s pretty much what I’ve done lately. Oh, I went out yesterday afternoon to hang out at Mac’s place. We played Cooking Mama 2, drank Sparkle, and smoked. :P Patambay-tambay lang. Tomorrow I have to pick up my graduation pictures. I forgot to get them before. Haha~ I also have to send the ordered Skittles lip balms. Then probably have my certificate framed.

Cleaning up Google Reader again… Here are some blog links some of you might be interested in reading:
Fiona Apple LJ Community — I know there’s no reason to share a dead community. But I’m no member, so there could be members only updates. :/
Hot Gimmick –> neighbors in love <333 — I kinda hate to admit that I used to be into HG. XD;
Thebaghag Diaries: A Day in the Life of the Bag Hag — I have too many bags already. Reading this will only make me want more. ~_~
TechCrunch — techie news & updates. I’ll probably regret my removing my subscription.
TipidTips — Know where to spend less. ^_^ This blog is not updated anymore, but the old posts might still be useful.

I have so much subscriptions in my Google Reader. It’s only fortunate for me that most of them are barely updated. XD

Results of my previous ‘poll’ (2 Comments)


Thank you to the ladies who answered question about the 2 pendants. Here are the number of votes! I even counted the votes of those who couldn’t make up their mind. ^_^V So if you said you find them both pretty, then that would count as voting for both.

Pendants + charms = 3 votes
WK116 = 2 votes

I only know of the price of WK116. Must ask about the pendant with charms. ^_^ I still need more votes to help me make up my mind. *lol*

Rain is gay!?

Of course I kid. XDDD

Which is prettier between the two? (4 Comments)


Hmm… Which is prettier between the two?




Product WK116 only!


As much as I’d like to buy clothes online, I’d rather do my clothes shopping in the mall. ^_^ I’d like to treat myself to something this Christmas! Donations are very much welcome! (Even less than a $/Php40 is fine. XDDD ) These items, I know, don’t go as much as Php400. ^_^ Also, if you chip in I’d definitely _always_ remember you. ♥ Anyway, I’d try my best to give something back, so… Show your ♥. *lol* *lol*
