The BASH!

I keep this little burn book of mine where I keep track of everything. From me @ work, on love, on future plans, people I plan to hate, people I want to criticize, people I just plainly hate, people who irritates me, deepest darkest secrets...from office to home even my sex life (Sshhh...), secrets of people, my own secrets, crushes, people I plan to have a crush on, people I've argued with, people I've had war with, how much I hate what I do, and what I feel like doing.

The thing is, it's actually relaxing to jot everything every freaking day and burn all your evilness na nakikimkim lang inside. It's like having a super loyal comrade anywhere you go, and however you are as a human being.

So if one day you'd see me crippling on a corner writing, yup, tell people I'm busy burning. And then if one day you'd see me dead, it's because I lost my burnt emotions. That os why I keep it well hidden.

Moving on, I am tired with work. For two weeks I have stayed sa Norvic doing graphic work for soon-to-be-enhancement ng Children's Department @ R/Makati. Darn grabe ang hirap lumuluwa na mata ko! Well, in the first place I've already admitted this to everybody even before pang bago ko, takot akong malagay sa C&T kasi they don't get much socialization action with the tons and tons of work they have to accomplish on a day, even Saturday and Sundays. then comes Children's Department. I don't know, I love kids and all pero hey, dressing up mannequins for kids....I'd rather do vignettes @ Home.

My main motivation right now is how much money I'm gonna garner after all of this...Hmm...spend it a lot I owe it to myself. This could help me execute my plans on entering the fashion biz.

Yesterday me and Boss Ferds went to work considering it's a Saturday and it's raining like hell. Grabe pareho kaming nagkakasakit na. Everyday ba naman you'd go home at 10, 12, 2 or 3 then balik at 9 in the morning, yeah right go to hell. whoever invented 9 in the morning should die. A million deaths. Off with his head.

AGA & MetroHIM. I like this issue kasi it has a gazillion and one fashion spreads of sporty yet casual outfits, rainy day fashion, and you get the picture right? It's so not like Manual which is becoming more of a pervert's mag rather than the cosmopolitan kinda guy. Anyways I also hate this issue kasi like half of the issue is about kabaduyan fashion...alam mo yun, something you'd expect a regular guy to do. Something must be wrong with their stylist. This is the main reason they became a cosmopolitan magazine, they should be jetsetters not the typical human being or else, they'd be just a regular mag.

EXTRA MONEY PLEASE?

I am planning on becoming a fashion designer, consultant/stylist, and a personal shopper all-in-one. I do not know how, pero I just need to.

I've started sketching some designs na on my workbook. Pero I want to buy a sooper nice sketch pad for my designs so it would double as my folio na rin daba?

I really wanna do a line na very much girly-inspired...alam mo yun...incorporating lady stuffs into men's clothing. So far all I've chosen from my works are ribbons and laces. So far, pero ang deepest frustration ko talaga is to make pearls more manly. Kaso ang hirap believe me. It's strictly tagged 'for-girls only.' Believe me sooner or later I'll come up with one.

Here's the problem, after sketching, what do I do with it? The only thing I could think of is have each piece done to my size then add it as a support for my folio. The problem is I have no formal studies in fashion design. I do not understand patterns, I do not very well understand fabrics, all I really know right now is doing what I do best. Creating change, stepping out of the box, going gaga and not your typical kinda human being, standing out, being an individual. I hope I find a good tailor to tutor me on the very much thick lines that goes in between me, and feasible fashion.

Anyways, if you could think of a way na I could get extra cash (minus being a slut), will you please please please let me know? I am kinda desperate to save a lot of money for secret reazons. Thanks!

Hear ye, hear ye!


Oscar dela Renta was on LifeStyle TV last night and I am sobrang impressed by his works. And take note, for his soon-to-be-out collection, they are mostly in ROYAL BLUE. God it is indeed the color of the season! Forgot the name of the other designers that showed their collection on NY Fashion Week (kasi they are like the not-so-sikat-ones) pero the unifying factor is, they are all doing dresses in royal blue. I really have to buy the color next sweldo. My goodness.

Anyways, I'm bored with work so I'm compensating with my fashion na lang to, at least in a way, boost my mojo to work hard. All I really need now is a lot of money to go buy more clothes to flaunt. We do not want to bore our audience now do we?

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
BOO! I really hated it! As in!

I was actually forewarned by my pals @ Gateway na the movie sucks big time, and it was so not worth their P180 hard-earned dinero for watching the flick. Pero as usual, my matigas na ulo took over. I'd say na it was more of a drama movie not a fictional one, I did not feel their magic, their wands, their costumes, Harry's invisible cloak, the giant spiders, god I just hate it super. I've heard it was directed by a different person??? Or is it not? Either ways, whoever did this sequel must be sent to the planet Jupiter A.S.A.P.

Hmm..I am contemplating lang on what excited me on this one...Ho yeah, siguro the only good thing about the movie was seeing their teachers fight with Draco's dad and comrades. Yun lang, kasi imagine adults using wands and stuffs, it's kinda odd and funny in some ways, pero they pulled it off. Hats off to that.

R/Makati Children's Department Lay-out
We are currently working on that floor for enhancement. (More of like total renovation.)

Anyways, this is so reminiscent of the time we did the lay-out for Tower's soon-to-be Luggage Floor. It's almost a week na and we didn't have good rests pa until today working on the project. Tomorrow's gonna be worse kasi we have to finish everything na before Wednesday hence the arrival of our Biggest Boss ever to Norvic to kick our butts off and collate all of our dues, which reminds me, our topiary project for Gateway is not yet well executed and we are so dead and ho my Lord I got a chill while remembering all information that I could not stop typing and doodling kasi now I have to go home ASAP to start making another batch of drawings for our flower arrangement darn it!

OK BYE!

Howdy?

It has been a soooper bow-ring week for moa. As in. I suppose the concept of me being transferred to Gateway hasn't completely sunk in pa. Which is kinda bad. I am sobrang not inspired. Well at least not until last Thursday when I was already creating vignettes and dressing mannequins up, whereas I got good comments especially with my Oleg Cassinni dressee. Wait 'til we completely change our window. The yanig is gonna be sobrang grabe pare abot hanggang Planet X.

Anyways, here's the latest movie I've seen.

TRANSFORMERS. Ho yeah it was oozing with greatness, except for the fact na sumakit talaga butt ko kakanood. Yes, the movie is sobrang good pero that doesn't necessarily mean they have to stretch the story to Milky Way para greatly appreciated ang
flick. All I can say is, they can always do a sequel. And I have a theory na it would gain more dinero than the first. My goodness.


I am currently looking for a new career. Can't keep up with my current one for reasons only I know. (For real. I don't wanna seem like the bi-hatch of Eastwick so I'd rather shut it tight.) Anyways, I've been submitting my resume everywhere. Tyler, Zara, SM, and c/o my mom, ABS-CBN (which is kinda not making such rings to my blings.) Hope I could get one sooner than expected. Ayoko masama sa mga unemployed beings of the world. We'll see we'll see.

Again, please do not judge me. I am reiterating yet again that I have plans of leaving the company for good (and konting bad) reasons. No tsismis please stop it with the paparazzing!

God I need help.

I've been playing my ass off my kuya's PS2 last night. I bought 2 CD's of X-Men Varieties, and both of which are sira. Damn it talaga have to replace it tomorrow pa tuloy. So instead of contemplating on my sirang discs, I've played 'GOD OF WAR' na lang instead.

You know the game? MY GOD IT'S THE SHI-AT! Sobrang ganda ng graphics, the fighting scenes are the bomb, and the puzzles and walkthroughs are feasible, hindi kasing O.A. ng kung anong game diyan na kailangan mo pang iresearch sa net to know what to do next. Shiat I am loving the game. You just gotta try it. I was playing last night from pagkauwi ko from work 'til 5 in the morning. Then Iwoke up around 8 and started playing na ulit kasi my kuya's gonna sleep na on his room (and darn it I can't bring the stoopid machine to my room kasi it's not mine.)

Anyways I am planning of exchanging my sirang discs to Resident Evil and...hmm...I'm choosing between Mortal Kombat or that Fantastic 4 adventure game....Ikaw, what do you think? Got any suggestions? Hollaback if you do.

Whew


Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire is premiering tonight on H.B.O. And it'll pain me a lot kasi I saw this movie last year with that shi-hatsu Bedan who has zero interest to reconciling with me. And it sucks. Times ten.

Labels:

Goodbye guys.

Yes, the word is out. Goodbye Tower hello Gateway. I don't want any drama na because I have a lot na of it lately. So tonight, I am hoping for the best, I'll give them a million and one of what I've got, and then we'll see we'll see.

But then again, saying goodbye to Tower isn't the only thing left for me to do. Sometimes people needs more than ample space to regress on what their purpose really is. As for me, I have plans of searching for mine sooner than expected. Pero as I've said, these are all plans, no definite and specific details, no high percentages of me pursuing it...yet.

Whatever happens, I'll be eternally grateful.

Thank you Tower for treating me like the supervisor that I am duly tasked to be.

Goodbye guys.

4-1-1


1.
Seksi Seksi
Kamikazee

And when I thought Orange & Lemons 'Katulad Mong Walang Katulad' has finally broke through the stereotypical Pinoy MTV (defined as 'such an infectious song with a really cool video to match'), watch out 'cause here comes Kamikazee's Seksi Seksi song which really makes me bop and tap and do all sorts of crazy things inside my room while chilling. The beat is totally iba, kinda reminiscent to Lenny Kravitz 'American Woman.'

Anyways it's super cool. The bass, the guitar solos, the chicks on the video doing that carwash thing, the first time I've enjoyed hearing someone scream in a song, it's all too good to be Pinoy. But it's here na. I know what I'll be downloading on my MP on my next visit kay Friend of Cubao.

2. PlayStation 2

Call my kuya inggitero, pero I think he bought our PS2 kasi nainggit siya sa couz namin who got it a week before we did. And I wonder why is it still so freakingly mahal after all these years. Am I enjoying it? Let's put it this way. I have outgrown computers (except the internet!), and quite frankly, I was telling mom nga before they bought the system na it'll be a waste of money. Hay naku hindi na dapat binenta ni big bro PDA niya just to buy this stoopeed machine.

On the irony, next sweldo I'll be spending a lot buying CD's like X-Men, Fantastic 4, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy, Legend of the Dragoons, etc. etc. etc. Siyempre ayoko naman masayang ginastos ng kapatid ko so I'm contributing my choice of games. Hay, they're kinda mahal pa, hoping for a big discount.

But then again I'm always open for your donations, kahit CD na mismo ibigay ninyo. I don't mind hand-me-downs.

3. Upcoming Color of the Season: RICH ROYAL BLUE

I have a theory, Royal Blue is the next gold. It's everywhere, the artistas on tv, fashion tv, fashionistas, and on our stores sa fashion floor. The only place hindi pa masyadong relevant ang color are on the people on the streets. And that's my advantage. I could again start a fad and make them appreciate the color.

I saw Tito Sotto kanina and he was wearing a royal blue Lacoste shirt and it so melted me and made me die of envy. My god mag-antay sila! I'll first deal with my PS2 Cds.

One @ a time peeps. One @ a time.

PS. Make sure and pagkablue is RICH not FLAT.

4. The Vinci's Code

It's the ultimate secret cheat code. Wala lang I saw the picture and it reminded me of my childhood. I am quite sure na this is the cheat code for Rambo and it'll give you unlimited supply of bala for his gun, makes you an omnipotent being (hindi nababawasan ang life), and so much more.

Or I could be wrong.

Whatever the answer is, this code will always be a HUGE HUGE HUGE part of our past.

CERTIFIED DRAMA QUEEN

I seem to be such a sourpuss lately. And I don't know why. I suppose mid-life crisis' kicking me hard early this lifetime.

If not that, then I blame Hello Panda Chocolates for being so darn mahal pero so darn konti.

Changes are going to happen in my career...na naman. Can I be blunt this time and tell you how I really feel? Well, I am going to be transferred na naman sa Gateway, which is okay lang naman with me kasi they are really my true family, and besides, si Amang na mismo ang humiling na kunin ako since Kuya Nilo (his supervisor) has resigned na. All good naman, pero the drama begins when I've finally realized na I am sobrang tired na kakalipat kung saan-saang branch, and believe me, I really should be flattered kasi Amang specifically requested for me to supervise the store, meaning he totally trusts me, pero people, I've moved like a gazillion time na....and this is not how I want everything to be.

Am I being unreasonable?

Please Mr. Reader, I am not making drama, I am only pointing things out.

This afternoon Daria told me good stuffs about how people felt while I was in Tower. And I was touched. I am eternally grateful for Boss Ferds kasi he has taught me a lot in lieu with our job description. And I have really grown as a graphic artist after all that we did. From the events, to the freaking hirap na lay-out ng soon-to-be Luggage Floor in Tower which really challenged me, down to filing and organizing all portfolios.

Damn, for the third time around, I am going to miss this store.

The King of Pain (and this time, I am not the one inflicting it.)

Three days and counting...

My mom was scolding me na kanina on my way to Makati. I was suppose to be on leave pero what have I been doing since the day I left office...yeah...Work pa rin. I guess that's one reality na we grown-ups could never outgrow. Responsibilities.

And I really hate it.

I have frantically took all possible medicines to heal my ailment and guess who won....

TING-A-LING-NGA-LING! ! !

Mr. Pain WINS! ! !

Umiikot talaga mundo ko kanina sa Makati while negotiating with Ms. Abba of Men's Department due to missing merchandises na hiniram namin for Father's Day Window. Fortunately, all was in tact. No thanks to the kapabayaan ng nagcheck whoever the hell he is. (Hope ikaw ang sunod na atakihin ng asthma.)

Damn this hurts.

I must be buntis.


I am craving for a hell lot of chocolates today. Now I so want a dozen of Yan-yan's and Hello Panda's. As in sooobbbrang dami mas malaki pa sa Eiffel Tower.


My god buntis ako I swear.

When the paining gets tough, the tough gets paining....

This day didn't get any better for me...Woke up feeling kinda good na, pero I've decided to rest na lang in preparation for our Weddings & Beyond set-up tomorrow @ Robinson's. Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep well because of my responsibilities at work, have a lot going on which I could not just ignore. Have to check up on the pull-out at Makati, RP Event Lay-out, and egress of our Private Sale...which I doubt our team was able to accomplish. Kasi naman ang daming punong-kahoy nun na sobrang heavy. I almost died carrying those bi-hatches up to the 4th floor of Rustan's Shang.

This day didn't get any better. I finally caught some zzz's around 1 in the afternoon, and when I woke up, fever and ubo got the best of me. So much for the thought na I was already healed. Now I am currently suffering the consequences of an aftershock, or in layman's term, 'binat.' I hate this day more than yesterday.

This day didn't get any better. I am having intestinal problem. I don't know if it has anything to do with me drinking Del Monte's Fit & Right, pero whatever is causing it, it's so not good news. Now I can't eat right, all I craved for the day are chocolates, sweets, ice creams, and even more chocolates. Thanks to my mom and my ATM, I was able to get all. But then again, mom got a melon flavored ice cream...and it sucks. Thank god it's 3-in-1, choco-ube-melon combo. Kaso I've specifically told her na I like ube...God buntis siguro ko kasi it really depressed me...

This day didn't get any better. Boss Ferds told me na HSBC Sale's commencing as planned. Sabay sa Weddings & Beyond Event. So there, sana my sickness won't bite me hard in the ass this week 'til next week. Or else, magseset-up ako with matching dugo sa ilong.

This day didn't get any better. And I really wanna die tomorrow 'til next week.

Today is not my day.


Went to the office around 10 a.m. na kinda hesitant pa to go there kasi woke up with such difficulty and a hell lot of pain due to my lagnat, ubo, sipon combo. Anyways, was not suppose to go to work to rest pero what can I do, I have to meet up with my team regarding our window pull-out game plan plus I have to make a rush lay-out of our Weddings & Beyond set-up @ Robinson's Place. Darn it bawal talaga magkasakit.

What I love about the people at work is that pag regular day, lahat kami makulit. And boy are we sobrang makulit. Pero on times like today, when I am extremely sick, everybody cares and knows how to make you feel better. People at VMD really amazes me at times. Kuya Erwin kanina na lagi kong kabiruan was not teasing me, Kuya Alvin and Ate Kons were telling me to drink lots of water and eat lots of veggies, Ate Emma gave me medicines to further induce my over-dosing problem (kidding! :), Kuya Ramil was ok being the OIC of our pull-out since I am on a 50-50 situation, Kuya Ryan was not making hipo sa aking birdie like he use to, Kuya Belog was very cooperative with my lay-out...And so, I'd like to take everything back...

Today may not be my day, pero my friends have made it a hell-lot-better.

Better than my Advil, BioFlu, Neozep, Strepsils, Dequadin, Biogesic, Ventolin and Solmux all taken at once.

SPICE GIRLS (Yes, you're reading it right) REUNION / WORLD TOUR

LONDON - The Spice Girls wannabe stars again.

Following a calculated publicity buildup, the original Girl Power group of the 1990s announced Thursday that they have agreed to reunite for 11 concerts around the world in December and January.

The shows will be their first concerts since breaking up in 2001, and the first with all five of the original group since Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue a solo career in 1998.

"Imagine you got divorced and you've got back together with your ex-husband," Halliwell said, explaining how she felt about the reunion.

"She just appreciates the fact we've let her back in," joked Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham.

The group said the shows would be in Los Angeles on Dec. 7; Las Vegas on Dec. 8; New York on Dec. 11; London on Dec. 15; Cologne, Germany, on Dec. 20; Madrid, Spain, on Dec. 23; Beijing on Jan. 10; Hong Kong on Jan. 12; Sydney, Australia, on Jan. 17; Cape Town, South Africa, on Jan. 20; and Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan. 24.

Halliwell and Beckham joined with Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown to pose for photos and announce tour plans.

"We wanted to say thank you to our fans. It just feels very right for us," Chisholm said.

"Obviously it's nostalgic. But equally, if new fans want to come along, that's fantastic," Halliwell said. "I like to think our songs are universal and they are timeless."

Their first single, "Wannabe," was released in 1996 and topped charts in 31 countries. They went on to sell more than 55 million records.

But their last album, "Forever," released in 2000 and without Halliwell, fared poorly.

You could now call them the Spice Mums. Beckham said the tour will be designed to accommodate the band members' seven children. Bunton is pregnant with her first child.

"Our priority is going to be our families. We want to have fun," said Beckham, who has three sons with her husband, soccer star David Beckham. "That's one of the many reasons for this, for our children to see what we used to do."

In conjunction with the tour, EMI said it plans to release the first Spice Girls greatest hits album in November. The group also plans to make their first official documentary for TV broadcast.

"It's going to be the most honest story that you've ever heard," Halliwell said. "You get to see the dark side of the Spice Girls, the gritty side, the tears."

Tim-Tam says:
Hell yeah it's about time! They aren't visiting the Philippines pero if they do, expect me to eat oslo papers and bagoong ulit for lunch just to purchase a single ticket. I only have one question on my head with their tour...will the people still support them or have we outgrown their spices? I surely will get a copy of this if Virgin Record's gonna participate in the said event.

Viva La Spices!

Over-dosed.

Ubo, sipon, and lagnat all at the same time....Impossible?

Guess again.

I don't know what happened pero last night, while I was out with my sis buying her shoes sa mall, I suddenly felt asthma symptoms, and yeah, I really let it all out on the sales associates. Bastusan talaga kung bastusan ako kahapon kasi SM have the WORST S.A.'S ever! All they do is pile up on one corner and chit-chat while us, the customers are freakingly waiting for them to come up to us and assist us. I mean come on, isn't that what they are born to do?

And now here I am...I am this close to dying. Again. Woke up with a bad throat problem which always, and always triggers my ailments. Unfortunately, this time around, it triggered everything. Was suppose to watch Transformers tonight pero I guess all that's going to change...Ho-sheesh this sucks...

Anyways the only good news I've got today was this: PINK PANTHER'S premiering tonight @ Star Movies.

Good enough to compensate for the major losses of watching a great flick, missing the good people that I would and could encounter, and my ol' time favorite past-time...flirting.

This morning I took 2tablets of Advil (which isn't suppose to be taken @ the same time), Ventolin, Solmux, BioFlu, Biogesic (very redundant ang pain relievers), and Strepsils, then before blogging, I took everything ulit. Wala lang, just want you to know na if tomorrow I look like shi-hatsu at work, try to bear with me. And for pete's sake, am I over-dosing myself? If I am, will somebody please let me know?
