Notable Events of 2006

Contemplating upon all the notable events that has happened in the life of Tim-Tam this 2006.

Here's the list...for reference when I turn 30.

1. January - Emotional turmoil between me and Beda.

It was crazy! One day ayos, the next hindi, then galit, then bati...We're baliws in the making. But then again, if I never met B I would never have understood how crazy I could get when I fall in love. And so now, nahihiya ako sa pinaggagawa ko then. Pero I do miss you you know...

2. February - My big birthday bash?

Guess again! Well, as if I ever celebrated my b.day, kasi I never did. Except that mom would still cook her macaroni and tinapay kahit na sabihan ko siyang wag na kasi I really don't wanna celebrate...Ho gosh ganyan ako ka-loner.

Anyways, February was the day of my defense. Birthday week ko pa nga yun if I am not mistaken. My god it was crazy, Sir Cunanan, Ma'am Sunico and Ms. Wachi-Lei were my jurors then and god! Kala ko babagsak na ko! Okay so I do admit revision ako pero hey, pasado pa rin! :)

3. March - Officially my first JOB na matino.

Snooks, Cece-Gaga, Lewellyn, Ryan Bawe, and me - 'pioneers of CITEM for Batch '02-'06'

I was really proud of ourselves kasi after passing our thesis defense nakapasok kami kagad sa CITEM on contract for F.A.M.E. '06. It was sobrang fun and nakakapagod sobra pero know what, I couldn't be more happy than working with Reine Shih and the rest of the Murder, Incs.

Thanks guys!

4. April - F.A.M.E. '06 @ the World Trade Center, Roxas Boulevard.

Very tiring ang set-up pero sobrang fun. I will forever remember the people who've been like family to me na. I may have forgotten some of your names pero I'll never forget the memories and you bet, when I see you sa Rustan's I'll offer you my discounts. :) Haha!

5. May - Goodbye CITEM, hello Rustan's!

My contract with CITEM ended nung last Friday of April. Then fortunately enough, the VMD family of Rustan's has accepted me making me a part of the nakakalokang team. And how can I forget May? HERITAGE EVENT @ Rustan's Home Department where we've drastically turned the entire Our Very Own Department into an event area. Whew! You will never know O.V.O. not unless you became a part of the Home Team. Touch-move doon eh. Move or merch one area and sooner than expected, you'll have to do the entire location. It's contagious.

Oh and how can I forget the Heritage event. I was fixing the dressing room for the models with Kuya Dennis, and there was this stylist who told Kuya Jo na if Kuya Jo will give my number to him he'll help us with the setting-up of the room. And so there. We were textmates...then. Haha! Nakakaloko pala ko...not unless he's blind or something. :)

6. June - When the term crush became L-O-V-E.

Yes, I was sobrang nabaliw kay....well, everybody knows. Basta think Home Department...isang area dun. Haha! :) Hope you'd notice me naman kahit...everyday? Haha! :)

7. July - 'Weddings & Beyond Nightmare!': The Series.

My god this was such a nightmare. Marinig ko nga lang ang term na Weddings sumisigaw na ko. And don't get me started on laces and the color white. Damn! And masakit is that it did not end on the launch of the said registry, we still take charge of its events like Bridal showers, etc. PLUS! Wala pa diyan yung launch ng W&B sa ibang branch. DAMN!

8. August - I thought I had DENGUE!

I got sick, wala naman akong ginawa nung days before, pero there I was lying on my bed. Nanghihina and vomitting became a habit. Uso pa naman nito yung Dengue so I was really freaked out! Damn! How did it go? Eto...buhay pa naman. False alarm.

9. September - My very first Credit Card

It was fun 'til it lasts...It's fun signing up papers pagkagamit mo ng card mo. Makes me feel like a pro.

10. October - The BIG SWITCH

It was about time na people finally realized my true passion...Fashion. I was asked kung ok lang sa king makipagswitch kay Ninang Janice from Makati to Gateway where I'll be in charge of the Fashion Floor. And voila! Here I am. Styling and more styling. Pero don't get me wrong. Hawak namin buong Rustan's Gateway pero yun nga lang, pansin naman ng lahat, mas tutok ako sa fashion. What can I do? Yun ang pinagkatiwala sa kin ni Boss eh? Hihi.. :)

11. November - Christmas Set-up @ Rustan's Gateway

God everyday was a nightmare. This is like the Weddings & Beyond set-up pero slightly worse. Everyday overnight, then sometimes kinukulong kami sa store kasi wala ng magbabantay sa min. Damn it was crazy!

12. December - Two of the greatest personas I've ever met.

I accidentally met these two magpinsans whom, one of which, is the one we constantly call 'remote'. And you know why you. :) Anyways I am really fond of them kasi their really something else. Yes, I do admit I am liking one of them pero I won't mention who...(as if hindi alam ng mga ka-office ko :)...pero the thing is...I really value what we have right now. I don't know if it's friendship or something else, pero I really do value it more than creating a relationship. I love you ya'll. And I don't want this to end...ever. Kaya nga I'm bringing you over to my 2007 memories eh...'til death.

Ho yeah, December '06 was the launch din nga pala ng Boudoir @ the Ladies Department of Rustan's. Pero we have na din sa Tower.

So there. I am hoping for a better year this 2007. Sana I've actually comprehended na everything that has been oh so wrong sa buhay ko.

Have a great new year guys. Thanks for spending this year with me. Hope to spend it again next year. Love you, love you, love you! :)

Herbal Teas

It's miraculous! It does make you slimmer and better! And, what's really good about it is that I've only used it like four times pa lang, pero it's already giving me results. It's really awesome!

The bad side? Yup, poopoo all the way.

Pero don't rely completely on the product. I mean, I've been killing myself din kaya I do not owe it all to that damn halamang gamot. Sometimes nga for lunch I'd buy brewed coffee and a slice of banana bread na lang sa Starbucks. Dinadaan ko na lang sa pagbasa ng magazines nila para malipasan ng gutom. That awful.

Damn, Kuya Kris has lost a lot na already. Grabe drastic ng change parang ako nung first time kong magdiet and I thought, I have to so beat him. I have to be fitter than ever. Buti na lang he was totally fat kaya lamang pa rin ako. Now I have to rely a lot to Biofit, coffee, and banana bread.

Ooff! There....just drank my tea lang kaya now, I'm currently experiencing gas. My god this is too much! Argh! Sana pwede ka na lang mamili ng body type mo noh? Like today slim, tomorrow slimmer. Hay...Life's so unfair.

Anyways, for you guys, go try Biofit Herbal Tea. It does taste like halamang gamot pero I think it's really effective. So there. Let's all lose weight this coming 2007.

Cheers! :)

See what the Beef's been cooking...

...@ Rustan's Gateway's Fashion Floor. That's the second floor FYI.

I have finally discovered the perfect recipe for mixing and matching clothes that doesn't seem to fit. Hay....finally. After the memo by our Big Boss which quotes the phrase: '...improve the featured collection...,' I now can finally make yabang na if this still doesn't make it to this biz wax, might as well fire me as early as now. I've been working my butt off reading tons of girly mags from the office up to my bahay which I personally purchse (FYI: One of which is Preview Magazine which I actually bought kasi Dawn, Angel, Ruffa, and Gretchen looks totally stunning on the front cover!). It's all good. :)

Anyways, my next project for the fashion windows: MISFITS. Which is, according my very own vocabulary, mixing and matching pieces that are, errr.., doesn't seem to fit. Like print on print, colors that doesn't seem to go well, or the likes. I do not know how I will do it, as Kuya Erwin would quote it, 'alta ciudad' type, pero I will find a way. I do not even know if Amang would like it...pero I'll do my best talaga.

We'll see, we'll see.

O my, Amang was actually requesting nga pala before to one, make an Army collection, and two, make the mannequins look like they're Harvard students (which was inspired by one of my outfits nung pumasok ako sa Gateway...hihi...Yabang :)

Anyways, I'm living la vida loka. You'll never know what I'll be cooking next...kasi even I do not know. I just don't know myself very well that's all.

We'll see.

And oh yeah, didn't go to work today kasi major trauma and drama kanina sa bahay. I need some time to reflect. That's why I'm blogging. Therapy.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! :)

Life has a lot of Hoo-Has. In short and kabadingan, KEME.

I am currently trying Biofit Slimming Tea. Recommended by a friend. And how does it taste? It pains me. The whole time I was drinking my orange cup, iniisip ko na lang, '...shocks Tim, para lang tong coffee....damo flavor...'

Damn it does taste like damo. I do remember Darron's pesto. Was my first time as well as Noel's nung kumain ang powpow girls @ Pizzeria, Makati. Noel's comment: '...herbal medicine?'
Harhar! :)

Anyways I hope the tea does miraculous things to my barely surviving body. It's the next best thing that I could find in the market since I find Xenical super, duper mahal (FYI: Watson's: P42, Mercury Drug: P43, botica sa kanto namin: P41.50). I've laid down the prices just in case you'd be interested. Para naman maging informative ang blog ko.

Next thing to cure after my obesity: My MUTATED CALLIO.

Damn I'm dying! Everyday, walking is such a bittersweet symphony in the life of Tim Canlas. Darn why, why, why? Argh! Mahilig pa naman akong mag-explore....And I won't ever elaborate what that really means. Magmumukha na naman akong pokpok as Daria says. And Uzer says. and my Ninang Janice says....and everybody else in the office....

Wah! II'm only human!

Oof! Ah....There. Felt a tiny sensation in my stomach denoting the effect of taking that darn halamang gamot that used to be a tea. Whatever happened to the sensational taste of red and green tea? Huhu...I was expecting Biofit to be as good as Teriyaki Boy's Red Iced Tea. But then again, if it's good then it's not something that will make you look better. E di sana ang dali ng buhay. Nagpa-lipo na lang sana ko kung wala siyang hirap and sakit diba?

Hay...anyways I'm happy. A little. I've met these two great personas. Not that there will be any something-something between me and one of them...I am just enjoying them kasi I've never met anybody whose super honest, straightforward, and frank as they are. They may not have a lot in life, pero they surely have my friendship and love. I semi-applaude them for their strengths. PLUS! They're U.P. grads of Economics, who, by the way, have worked their way up and out of college.

Bravo!

Anyways I'm planning on doing something nice to them for Christmas. They're not gonna spend it kasi with their family so might as well make them feel like home. Hope a big slice of pizza, soda, french fries and burger would do the trick. And dessert? Hmm...candy na lang. Marami naman sila dun eh. Haha!

See ya ulit repapeeps! Same place. Same everything.

Darn!

It took me almost an hour accessing my blogspot account! As in! I am really angry! Starck raving mad! Aargh! I have to find my password pa, update my google account, blahblahblah, blahblahblah!

Aargh! I am very much disappointed!

We all cry. Lamang lang ako.

And why?

Loneliness?

Boredom?

Feel like your all alone and nobody listens?

Yes, yes, and yes.


I feel like I'm drowning deeper, and deeper everyday. I hate it talaga when people underestimates me and does not take me seriously, or at the most, respects my persona and all that of which I am. I am longing to find people who could mold me into a better person. Yun nga lang, as the saying goes, you are who your friends are. Bottom line, I attract people who shares the same vibes as I have.

I am bothered.

I have to change really before I become a monster.

Damn.


And then comes the concept of love. Love as in having a partner in life, whom you'll forever share your secrets with, someone whom you can run to when your totally screwed or bored with whatevers, someone whom you can just f*** around with whenever everyone else f***s your back a lot. Why can't I have one? Alam mo yun, you'd go for blind dates (which I do a lot btw) pero afterwards, wala. You can't even keep the friendship. Now that's quality f***ing.

Why?

i just don't get it.

And how about families?

Damn sometimes I feel like hindi nila naiintindihan needs ko eventhough we've been together na forever. God I really wanna runaway from it all and start anew. How I wish I have the money, the competence and the confidence to do just that and I swear, I'll make everything seem better than this hell I call my life.

Love

I am currently seeing someone. At first akala mo wala siyang kwnetang tao kasi very naughty si Mole (codenames, codenames :), pero actually, M's way, way, way better than expected. Anyways I really mean it when I've told you na I like you. And I still do.

Spent an entire day together last Sunday, sabay pumuntang Gateway, and until now, we're all good. Haha...holding hands sa fx effect.

Hmm...I don't think it's wise for me to blog about M...kasi blogspot's such a jinx....Hmm....God have mercy.

Like you M! Be nice! :)

Job Hunting Days are here again...

I wanna enter the design world. The thing is I don't know where to start. This is going to be disturbing guys pero I really wanna shift na in my career. It just doesn't excite me anymore. I so wanna blame my 'mabilis-magsawa' attitude, pero I don't think that's the prob talaga eh. Don't worry guys it's not you, it's me lang talaga.


If anybody needs a designer, I'M SO OPEN! First I wanna be a fashion designer, then handicrafts, then accessories and bags, then an entrepreneur. There goes my future plans.

In the meantime, I could really use a pack of Yanyan Chocolate. Btw, Candy Corner's selling it for PhP40 or 45 pesos, pero it actually costs 25pesos lang sa groceries.

So there.

Salon Day

Between me and my barber, TOUCHINA.

Between him and my beard, SUGAT.

Between him and my hair..... PRICELESS.
