I may have been transported to opposite world and other stories.

There are so many stories to tell about Slovakia and to be honest I don’t know where I’m going to begin. So what I’m going to do is to make a list of the things I have observed and experienced so...

The Five Faces Tag

Finally, I have found the time to do the Five Faces Tag! So Tiff tagged me and it took me ages to do it. But now I got time so yeah. Here are the rules: 1.Post 5 “faces” – different expressions,...

Buwis Buhay Deed of the Day #3

First things first, for the benefit of my non-Tagalog speaker readers (whut, but yeah I have them yehehehessss), buwis buhay means to sacrifice one’s life. Mkay, now that we got that out of the...

Surviving Slovakia with Zero Slovak

Yeah, you pretty much will not survive. Day 1. I arrived with 130 kilos of luggage and my flat is on the sixth floor. Hooray. The taxi driver who barely spoke English, knows no German, and spoke...

All my bags are packed, I’m not ready to go.

Am Freitag werde ich nach Wien fliegen. Mein Kopf sagt ja aber mein Herz sagt nein. Ich bin wirklich verwirrt. Last weekend, I told my housemates that I’m still on the denial stage. When will...

#12 These feet will go places.

Last week, I had the awesome chance to visit one of most charming places in the Philippines, Ilocos. From north to south, we explored everything that we could possibly see in a matter of three...

Burned Out 5000

I’m not sure how many times I say the word “stressed” in one day. But I do know that I say it quite a lot lately. I love my job, but man, I think I’m overloaded with work. It’s no joke taking care...

Sorry!

Yeah, I’m sorry if it took a long while for me to post something here. I’ve been extremely busy at work lately plus I did a little bit of travelling last weekend. But I’m back. I’m not yet done...

Failed Weekend Plans

The weather is not cooperating. I was supposed to go to the beach this weekend for some R&R but it just keeps on raining since yesterday. Oh well. What’s a girl to do? Aside from another lovely...

#11 Getting a surprise business trip

Just when you’re craving to go to Jakarta to buy a gazillion winter clothes from their outlet stores, the Universe decides to give you a surprise business trip to Indonesia. I called the embassy in...

#10 Eargasmic months ahead

I guess you can say that my ears are terribly excited. Lately, one of the things that keep me sane aside from Skype dates with M, is the business of filling up my “music calendar.” What makes me...

#9 Being friends with someone for a very long time

OMG. We do look older. Cringe. I wish I had a photo from high school to show you guys how we evolved like a pair of Pokémons. Internet, meet Joane, my best friend. We’ve known each other since our...

#8 The excitement of an upcoming out of town trip

Or trips. Yup. Since I don’t have much time left to explore the Philippines, I booked all my weekends. Mkay, the last image looks weird because I made it. I mean, I’m organizing that trip. I booked...

A sanity check is needed.

After all the holiday cheer, everyone’s back to reality like me. There’s tons of work despite me working during the holidays. I didn’t report to work today because I’m not feeling well and mainly...

Happy New Year!

Hello internet! I’d like to wish you a very happy new year. I wish that your 2013 will be filled with success, adventure, good health, and prosperity. And oh, Siopao would like to greet you, too!

#7 You recap 2012 and realize that it has been an awesome year.

According to some Chinese horoscope, I wasn’t going to be terribly lucky nor unlucky during the year of the dragon. Good thing I don’t believe in horoscopes because 2012 has been nothing short of...

#6 The smell of books

#6 The smell of books. Doesn’t matter whether it’s new or old. Guess there’s something addicting about the mixed smells of paper, ink, and glue. Perhaps the smell adds up to the excitement that...

Musings of a Makeup Noob

Perhaps I was hiding under a rock that’s why I haven’t bothered playing with makeup all these years. I knew how to put on powder, liquid blush, and apply lip balm. That’s pretty much my makeup...

Review: November Glamourbox

Subscription boxes are so popular nowadays. If you’ve been following Michelle Phan on YouTube like me, you’d know that she’s owns ipsy.com, where subscribers receive a glam bag filled with deluxe...

#5 Staying in on a rainy day.

#5 Staying in on a rainy day. It’s the day after Christmas and it’s raining outside. Good thing I’m back in the apartment. There’s nothing better than being able to sink in fluffy pillows while...

#4 Being loved by someone amazing.

#4 Being loved by someone amazing. Sometimes you will meet someone who could dance crazy with you, give you piggy back rides when you’re too drunk to walk, exchange corny jokes with you, take care...

#3 Being home for Christmas.

#3 Being home for Christmas. There’s a reason why there’s a song called I’ll Be Home for Christmas. This holiday is perhaps one of the most family-oriented holidays on the calendar. Why is being...

Cat Power

Oh hallo, internet. I’m not talking about the singer. Sorry. Actually, I’d like you to meet Siopao. She’s half tabby (like Garfield) and half Siamese. My parents love this cat. Mom: Tell her it’s...

#2 No queue in your favorite restaurant.

This is a continuation of my list of awesome things. If you have read my previous entry, I’m writing about simple awesome things just like that in The Book of Awesome. #2 No queue in your favorite...

Goodbye, bushy brows!

I’ve been meaning to get my eyebrows done mainly because my brows are really horrible and bushy. Often, I’m scared to spend money and risk having ridiculously thin or lopsided eyebrows. Well this...

Makeup Haul

“Girls like to paint their faces.” That comment came from my boyfriend and I’m beginning to think that it’s true. My new addiction (next to shoes) is makeup. Perhaps this is an effect of watching...

#1 Watching the sunset.

During one of those “Adventure Times” with Superman, we came across a book called The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha. It’s about 1,000 awesome (and simple) things that make us smile. It’s...

For that someone who only knows what it’s like to have you but never experienced what it’s like to lose you. Ate Beyonce has an appropriate song. Preach it.

Less than Slash Three

This emotional rollercoaster is driving me crazy. #ForeverAlone may not be better but at least it was less complicated and I was sane. For my own sanity, I will operate as originally planned and...

Countdown

Few days ago, I told him that I got a new camera and laptop so I can get busy learning something new like making videos because it somehow helps me not think so much about the distance and time...
