A beautiful mess

 30/500



I AM A GIRL

I just got to have them all!

I remembered way back then, from my elementary days to highschool, it's seldom that you would see me in a girls shoes. I mean, I wear rubbershoes everytime I go out. You can't make me wear slippers, step-ins or doll shoes. And you can't make me bring a bag. I want everything I need inside my pocket. I don't like carrying anything with my hands. hahaha! I was boyish. I hang around guys, and you can't make me stay or chill at a place full of girls.. NEVER without a guy friend. I just can't stand it. I dunno why. It's not that I'd be all giggly with boys that time. I was closer to guys coz I wanted to have a brother.

Anyway, growing up for me was not that hard. I was not pushed by my dad to wear the things that he wants me to wear---normal girls clothes. You'd often see me walking around with a baggy pants / six pocket pants, a t-shirt larger than my size and a rubbershoes. I would sometimes wear a baseball cap with it. I was so comfortable with what I had on.

Then came college days.. I couldn't forget what I looked like on my first day of school. My uniform was big. I had a sling bag. My school shoes was so outdated and I'd wear my hear up, in a ponytail. That's it. You wouldn't even see me wearing any makeup at all. hahaha! Then I had a friend who was my exact opposite. She's like a barbie doll everyday at school. She was the first friend I had coz we've known each other when I was in gradeschool, I think? She was the one who told me that I should put some color on my face. hahaha! The memory of that incident never left my mind. We were at a girls comfort room. Then when I was done peeing, I went out then stood there looking like an idiot, just watching them put their makeup's on. hahahaha! Since then, I started learning how to put my own makeup. Wear my hair down and even curl it. Used the hand bags that my dad gave me before. Had tons of them! And had my uniform altered so that my body shape would be seen ;) A total makeover happened to me. I became a GIRL! hahahaha!

And of course, up to this day, I'm still trying my best to maintain the girly side of me :) That's why I bought all those shoes (see picture above). That's for my 5 working days ;) Including the black shoes I bought last time :)

There's always a first time :p

How a picture can tell a story..

Yes. I love how pictures can tell you the story..

Pardon my boredom. ENJOY! ;)









Noob me, Camera frustration and My SUNDS

I've been wondering how to increase traffic on my blogs.. Sorry I'm just new here and I'm already trying to finish 500 worth of pictures..haha! Ambitious me! :) That's 500DAYS! Wish me luck..

Anyway, I would be more than happy to get some advise on how to increase traffic for my blogs. I'm not sure if I have to view, post, comment, like or follow someone just so someone else can see my blogs :p I'm checking my stats and I think it's improving.. If the stats states that I have, for example, 50 viewers in the United States, is that accurate? haha! I'm really confused :p

But whatever it is, I would still post blogs everyday.. I'm already enjoying it. It's like my online diary.. It's much easier to let things out by blogging it rather than bottling everything inside. That's not good for the heart ya know.

Speaking of thoughts, when I was about to sleep, I kept on thinking about buying a Camera.. We actually have a DSLR at home, but that's a family camera. Here I go again with my frustrated thoughts on buying a camera for myself. That's how I love taking pictures. Capturing memories. I'm also planning to buy a new bed, but I still have a bed. I'm planning to buy a new phone, but I still have a phone. See? That's my dillema. I'm so freakin retard to think about these things before I sleep. It took me more than an hour of twisting and turning before I fell asleep.

Then when I was finally asleep, the THING happened again! I'm not sure what's the English term of it, but here in the Philippines we call it "Bangungot". Let me Google this------

"Sudden unexpected death syndrome, or Sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS), or Sudden Unknown Death Syndrome is sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, often during sleep.[1] Sudden unexplained death syndrome was first noted in 1977 among Hmong refugees in the US.[2][3] The disease was again noted in Singapore, when a retrospective survey of records showed that 230 otherwise healthy Thai men died suddenly of unexplained causes between 1982 and 1990:[4] In the Philippines, where it is referred to in the vernacular as bangungot, SUNDS affects 43 per 100,000 per year among young Filipinos. Most of the victims are young males.[5]"

Scary right? I've been going through this since I was in 4th year highschool, I think. I got used to it, fought with it till I wake up and prayed for it. The only thing I haven't tried doing yet is to change my bed. Well I'll change my bed anytime soon. That's fo sho!

Gone Aztec

I love my new shoes! :) They're too comfy.. I hope this cheap stuff would last forever.. I mean FOREVER..which I doubt! haha! I'm one major "lakwatsera".. I should buy shoes from City Girl :) Saw that brand at SM department store as well.. It would totally fit my lifestyle.. :)

I didn't know that Aztec is the latest trend.. I'm really out of style.. Not aware of the changes happening around me...haha! Btw, Ynigo liked it :) And this guy's hard to please when it comes to shoes ;)

Stressed? Just smile :)


Whenever I hear John Mayer sing, I feel relaxed.. His music reminds me to lay back and rest my body and soul.. I really don't know the lyrics of his songs and even the meaning of it, but it really really love his songs :) Such a creative mind he has....and a beautiful face as well. haha! One chillaxing Sunday for me :)

What happened to my Saturday shift?


27/500

Well, I fixed my own hair :D

I was so bored and I don't know what to do with my lunch break.. haha! It's not that easy to braid my own hair like this. If you failed the first try, you wouldn't attempt on doing it again. So tiring and frustrating! haha! Speaking of frustration, I got sooooo stressed with the calls I had before I went on lunch! 3 consecutive costumers were a pain in the butt! Really! I gave up on the 3rd call and pressed aux 6. My energy was drained and my stomach was rumbling! It means I had let out a huge amount of energy to those customers! It's a good thing I have some remaining patience and I didn't explode! haha! So much for trying to be a good customer service rep! :p



And Aiu's Lumpiang Shanghai made me feel better.. (swapped one chips with Ate Tina! hehe!)


Come 6AM, the sun has risen and was shining on my face..and I realized that on less than an hour I'll be heading home! Yey! But the sun was too orange this time. It's like the color of sunset..

OH NO! I DIDN'T!

I'm not the type of girl who loves to shop.. No really! :p It just so happened that I was at the mall then I thought of buying Ynigo my super late Christmas gift.. When I couldn't find anything for him, I ended up shopping for myself instead! hahaha! Talk about buying my boyfriend a gift! hahaha!

26/500
But hey, it's not that I don't "need" the stuff I bought. Yeah I don't actually need 3pairs of shoes but what the hell! I seldom buy shoes that I feel sorry for the shoes/step-ins I have bought a long time ago.. If they could only talk.. They'd tell me to let 'em rest. haha! I bought 3pairs for the cheapest price :) I wouldn't buy something expensive for an everyday shoes! The Solemate was 2pairs for P399.. cheap right? Then I dropped by Tomato, lo and behold, the blue shoes I bought ages ago was on sale! 50% off!!! It was only for P275 from P500!!! Cheap much! I grabbed a black version of my blue shoes :) I'm happy with the shoes I bought. Aleast I would get to use them everyday. I can let my old ones rest.. :D


I also bought a juice for my vape.. Vapetime "Ecto Cooler".. I like it :) Smells nice too :) It's a good thing I'm finding my way back to Vaping.. And I'm loving it more this time ;)

Freaky Friday

25/500

Scary? Yeah! I was scared of my own picture as well. When I took this shot my heart was pumpin' wild. LOL! I couldn't choose an effect I wanted. Then when I settled for this, saw my own picture, it scared the crap out of me.

Anyway, I've gotten my energy back. When I went to Ynigo's house yesterday, I was not able to take a quick nap. I was watching American Idol! haha! Sowwreeey :p So I went to work like a zombie. I couldn't wait to get home after shift...

It's a Friday night and I gotta get going.. I don't wanna be stuck in traffic tonight. Ta-ta! Later guys!

Droolin'

I've been wanting to buy a camera for the longest time now. I was eyeing for a Canon D10.

  • 12.1 Megapixels
  • 3.0x optical zoom with optical Image Stabilizer

  • Optional accessory system includes Shoulder & Neck Strap Set and Carabiner Strap*** plus Front Cover Set
  • Range of shooting modes and Special Scene modes
  • 30fps VGA movies

But I received an email from Ensogo about these cameras.. Then I began to drool...


Must love this one..

TOUGH ENOUGH TO KEEP UP

Drop it, dunk it, splash it, freeze it… The TG-320 is built to keep up with your every move. Whether you’re vacationing with family on the beach, hiking in the mountains, enjoying a bike ride or just hanging around the back yard, the durability of the TG-320 ensures that you’ll never miss a moment. Capture HD videos with ease using the One-Touch HD Video button, and let your imagination run wild with in-camera Magic Art Filters like Pop Art, Watercolor and Fisheye.
then Babe showed me this...

WATERPROOF TO 33FT.

The TG-810 crushes the notion that cameras are easily damaged by water and humidity. The Olympus-original complete sealing system and double lock construction borrowed from Olympus' long history of manufacturing underwater housings ensures that the TG-810 is completely waterproof down to a new depth of 33ft. Even on land, the TG-810 ensures that you'll never miss an awesome shot just because of heavy rain or snow.

SHOCKPROOF TO 5FT.

The shockproof structure of the TG-810 ensures that your investment is protected. Carefully sandwiched between two protective frames, the lens and camera unit remain unfazed by bumps, drops, falls and other impacts. Even after repeated drops, critical camera components and functions like the lens, shutter, aperture and auto-focus remain safe. Drop, pick up, and keep on shooting.

DUSTPROOF

Life gets dirty. Between dusty fields and muddy trails, sometimes your camera doesn't stay as pristine as you'd like it to. But even in less-than-spotless environments, the fine protective sealing of the TG-810 helps keep out dirt and debris allowing you to capture shot after shot even in the harshest environments.

HD VIDEO

A simple one-touch button allows you to record videos with amazing clarity in high-definition, right from your camera. HDMI output and control makes playing back videos on your HDTV a breeze.



I couldn't get enough of 'em :( I want one. Stupid me dropped the first camera I bought for myself. Bought it for P10,000 back then.. I miss having my own camera :( That was 3yrs ago :( Can't wait to buy a new one for myself.. I'm sure that my laptop's drive would be full of pictures :) Ynigo shared me this:
"Before making any purchase, ask yourself a few simple questions, and be honest with your answers. Only move on to the next question if you can answer yes to the current one. If you cannot get all the way through the questions, it is probably an impulse buy and you should pass it up.

   Do I need it?
   Will I use it?
   Is this the best price I can get on it?
   Does it add value to my life or my estate?"
After I read it, I told him that my answer to all those questions is a big fat YES. That's how I love taking pictures.. I may not have taken a lot these past few months since my phone cam's resolution is not that OK, but my passion for taking pictures did not falter. Check my facebook albums if you don't wanna believe me ;)

My Wednesday


This movie touched my heart...

It's hard to find someone whom you can really be yourself with. Someone you can talk to everyday and let them know what happened to your day, without judging you. Just listening to you. Laughing at your jokes, while making you laugh at the same time. Someone not scared to do anything with you. Someone who would understand everything about you. Someone who would not force you to change, but will inspire you to change for the better...

If you've found someone whom you can build Love and Friendship with, never let it go... And never be afraid of taking chances.




Finally! My last dose of Cervical Vaccine!
