Forced

I am currently having problems connecting to the world wide web.

As you all know, mahirap ang connection dito sa bukid.

I have to rely solely to mobile internet service providers a.k.a. Smart and Globe.

May wifi naman dito but it’s 30 minutes away from where I stay and security is so not safe. The best wifi hotspot dito sa bukid is an hour away sa city but I rarely go there. Oftentimes when I’m in the city I always do work-related stuff, e.g. bank transactions, client follow-ups and etc. Walang time for myself or mag-surf.

Anymisery, Smart connection here now is terrible.

You know whenever may ‘weather trouble’ dito sa amin, naaapektuhan ang signal nila.

Really.

I think the catastrophe that is happening in Cagayan de Oro now is the ‘reason’ why mahina or walang signal ang majority of the municipalities dito sa bukid. Oftentimes kung may power loss ay nalo-lost din ang signal.

Chaka Khan much?

So now, I am using Globe Visibility, pero mahina pa rin ang connection.

Next to nothing, like 30-40kbps.

Pathetic noh?

Anyway, pagtiya-tiyagaan ko na lang muna ito. And pasensiya na rin if I haven’t kept in touch with most of you now. Blame it on the mobile service providers. Not on me. Hahaha!

Fading

My fabulous tan lasted for only 10 days.

Lecheng tanning lotion yun. Pinalasap lang ang pansamantalang kagandahan ng aking mala-lechon na balat. Isa pa yung sunblock lotion. Either it doesn’t work or kulang sa required sun protective factor ang ginamit ko. Or maybe matapang na talaga ang rays ni haring araw it would probably require 1000sph ingredients to protect our skin naparusahan tuloy ako ng mahapding sunburn.

Now I’m struggling to get back that skin color. Nandito na naman kami sa beach para ma-achieve ulet yun.

Problem is, walang sun ngayon. I’m not even sure if magkaka-araw dito ngayon. The weather is not so cooperative. It’s drizzling uncontrollably. San ba si Storm kung kinakailangan mo siya. Hahaha!

Anyway, we’ll probably stay for the whole day. It’s not just me who wanted a little bit of color. Pati ang mga bakla ay gusto na rin magpa-itim. Insecure kasi sila sa aking kulay dahil nililingon ako ng mga afam. Charing! LOL

Hanggang dito na muna.

Tinatawag na ako ng beach.

All New Mean Girls

I am a fan of the movie Mean Girls. I consider it one of the best films ever made in the entire world. Almost thesame level as, maybe, Schindler’s List or No Country For Old Men. LOL

At the end of the movie, all four of them ‘changed’. I’m not saying they’re no longer mean but it was a happy ending for all of them.

What if…

In real life they really exist.

They grew up to become rich, professional and powerful.

And they star in a reality show.

Sino na kaya sila ngayon?

Well…

Sila ang mga babaeng madalas nagpapahirap sa mga contestants ng mge reality tv shows. Hindi lang yun, some even extend their meanness to their staff and crew.

Oh di ba? Ibang level na ang mga gaga. LOL

Here are my four choices of the all grown up, modern, cruel yet fabulous MEAN GIRLS.

(this is in correct order, meaning from mean to meanenest. hahaha)

The All New KAREN SMITH

KELLY WEARSTLER: former Playboy playmate (1994) turned interior designer now judge on Bravo TV’s Top Design. She’s mean because she criticizes all of the contestants’s works when she herself should be criticized for her wardrobe in the show. Siguro walang salamin at suklay sa bahay niya. bwahahaha

The All New GRETCHEN WIENERS

NINA GARCIA: Elle magazine’s former fashion director turned Editor-at-large, judge on Bravo TV’s Project Runway. On one occasion, a little girl called her “Meana Garzilla”. hihihi

The All New CADY HERON

TYRA BANKS: former supermodel turned businesswoman turned reality tv show host, turned daytime talk show host, judge and host of the 48 cycles of America’s Next Top Model. She’s mean kasi marami na siyang pinaiyak na contestants, giving them false hopes. Pati si Isis King napagtripan. tsk

The All New REGINA GEORGE

ANNE SLOWEY: fashion news editor of Elle magazine, host and head judge of CW’s Stylista. She reminds me of Miranda Priestley but not in a good way. Maybe she’s trying to ‘duplicate’ Meryl Streep’s character noh. Infairness to her, she’s not that ‘trying hard’, kasi nga natural na sa kanya ang pagiging mean. hahaha

There you have it!

My only wish now is that, we should make this world a better place to live in. Being mean is ugly. But being mean yet beautiful and fabulous is waaaaay much better.

Sana ay maging inspiration at tularan sila ng mga susunod na henerasyon! LOL

Tommy Hilfiger

Like every start of the year, we always make resolutions na kelangan ay matupad or magawa natin at the end of the year.

Taon-taon, I always have resolutions but most of the ones in my list, unfortunately, ay hindi natutupad.

Especially ang resolution na pina-promise ko every year but always fail.

I lack discipline kasi sa field na yun.

I am of course, like millions of people all over the world, talking about

LOSING WEIGHT.

Yes.

I do it every year. It’s always on top of my list. And at the end of the year it always end up on top of the list of resolutions pa rin na never natutupad.

This year, I am still including LOSING WEIGHT in my list of resolutions. Nasa top pa rin siya gaya ng dati but this time I will make a promise. Not only will I lose weight, I also promise to reduce my waistline, bidding farewell to my beer belly and hopefully getting abs.

Whooooooh!

AMBISYOSA! LOL

50 lbs. is a lot ha.

That’s so hard but I will try my best.

Hahahahaha! Good luck to me.

Anymisery, I want to share with you my dear friends my probable ways of achieving my goals. If you happen to have the same resolution as mine, you can also follow these weight-loss tips. This is not something drastic. It’s a regular thing to be practiced. Religiously. So patience is necessary.

Here it is.

- I don’t eat breakfast but this year I’m going to everyday. A heavy one para hindi ako gutumin hanggang hapon. I will not eat a heavy lunch, dapat small bites lang. An apple perhaps and drink lots of water. If I crave for something I will just have coffee.
Tip: if you crave but you’re still not hungry, go to the bathroom and brush your teeth again. That way you’ll no longer want to eat something for that period of time kasi katatapos mo lang mag-toothbrush. Di ba? Hihihi

- Umiwas sa fast food. Huwag mag-shopping sa mall ng gutom. Kung nasa mall ka at gutom, chances are you want to grab a quick bite. Eh ano pa nga ba ang pinakamadaling puntahan kapag gutom, eh di fastfood. Magtiis ka bruha ka. LOL

- Minimize alcohol intake. Or better yet, stop alcohol intake. Pati softdrinks na rin. Go for diet sodas or fruit juices.

- Do sit-ups every morning. Kahit di ka pa bumabangon, mag-sit ups ka na agad. Hahaha

- Drink lots of water. Bahala na kung feeling mo ay para ka nang waterbed sa dami ng tubig na nainom, the more water, the better. Siguro. =P

- Dahil tamad at wala akong panahon mag-gym, the best exercise I can do is walk. In that case, maglalakad lang ako from house to bukid and vice versa. Kapag nasa ciudad naman ako, goodbye muna sa mga taxi. Maglalakad na ako papuntang kanto at doon mag-aabang ng masasakyan. Or lalakarin ko na lang ang papuntang mall, kahit abutin pa ako ng closing time. Char!

- Goodbye muna sa chocolates. Huhuhu

- I will start the above mentioned tasks tomorrow.

Waaaaaaaaaah!

I just hope at the end of the year I will achieve this nearly impossible goal.

Tommy Hilfiger would be very proud to see me no longer Tummy Ill-figure.

Triplets

Watching Kris Aquino twice a day is fun. Quite a handful but that’s her.

Yesterday, on her talk show with Boy Abunda, as she was talking about her brand new hairstyle, she said the funniest thing I’ve heard from her since Pido Dida.

“ I am Victoria Beckham.”

Bwahahahahahaha!

Whaaaaat?!

I know. It may not sound funny for you but for me sobrang nakakatawa.
Hello? What the hell was she thinking? LOL

First of all, let me get this straight.

I like Ms. Kris.

I like her personality.
I like the way she look.
I like her “hosting skills”.
I like her personal style.
I like her in Pido Dida.
I like her in Fatima Buen.
I like her in Feng Shui.
I like her in Sukob.

But calling herself “Victoria Beckham” is funny. As in ‘hahahaha’ funny!

Hey, calling yourself Victoria Beckham is extremely different from ‘claiming’ to be a Beckham, e.g. ME. Bwahahahaha!
But this is not about me anyway, it’s about someone else so ‘wag tayong ma-divert sa main topic.

Charing!

In all fairness to Ms. Kris, medyo hawig naman talaga ang hairstyle niya ngayon kay Tita Vicky.

Isa pa, medyo nasa the same wavelength din ang kani-kanilang buhay.
Let’s state the facts:

Number one, they are both married to sports superstars. Ate Kris to James Yap, and Tita Vicky to David.

Number two, both of them ‘design’ clothes. Ate Kris for Kashieca and Tita Vicky for ‘dvb’ and Rock & Republic.

Number three, they have ‘outrageous’ (sometimes) taste in fashion. They are particular in their custom-made pieces. Ate Kris goes to Puey, JC, or Martin Bautista. Meanwhile, Tita Vicky goes to Cavalli, etc.

Number four, they both have adorable children and always brag about them.

And last but not least, they both have musical albums. Bwahahahaha!

Teka.

Parang ako din yun ah.

In high school, a soccer player and I were ‘a thing’.
In college, a star basketball player and I use to go out. It lasted a month.

I also design clothes for my sisters and close girl friends. I even made a dress I wore during the evening gown competition at a Miss Gay contest.

I had couture pieces made for me by our neighborhood mananahi Manang Quila.

I also adore boys, as long as they’re at least 18 years old.

Albums? Meron din ako nun. Apat pa.

Photo albums.

Bwahahahaha!

I guess hindi pala kami nagkakalayo ni Victoria Beckham.

On that note, I’m very proud to say now……

“I am Victoria Beckham”.

Feel free to barf. LOL

Life’s A Beach

I hate the beach.

No.

I loathe the beach.

Like my favourite author Jessica Zafra, the things on the beach, e.g. sand, sun, hot temperature and the noise is something that activates my gag reflex.

Charing!

Actually, hindi ko naman totally hate ang beach, ayoko lang talaga ng sobrang init ns temperature. And you can’t wear gorgeous footwear sa beach. Mwahaha!

Last year, I spent almost all of my vacation leave somewhere na may beach. Wala din naman akong magagawa eh kasi yung mga friends ko yun ang hilig, ang magtampisaw sa dagat or sa pool. Gustuhin ko man na hindi sumama ay napipilitan na lang ako. I just bring a good book ay solve na ako kahit magkulong lang sa kuwarto for the whole time na nasa tubig sila. Killjoy much? LOL

Anyway, yesterday sumama kami ni Edz sa annual family outing nina KC.

We went to Pindasan town in Mabini Davao del Norte, barely 2 hours from the city proper. Aside from Samal Island, Davao del Norte is your nearest option for beautiful white sand beaches without blowing your budget.

When we arrived at the Beach View, the place was already filled with people. I never thought people would flock the beaches on a New Year’s Day. Maraming pamilya ang nagre-reunion. In short, maingay. Our cottage was near the volleyball court kaya anytime ay puedeng lumanding ang bola sa aming lamesa. Imagine the ball landing in the big bowl of bulalo. Catastrophic. Bwahahaha!

Fortunately hindi naman nagyari yun.

We went home by 4pm because babiyahe pa kami pauwi. Although the place is beautiful, they don’t have close cottages kaya those who want to stay overnight should bring tents. In terms of meeting ‘prospects’, the possibilities are endless. Yun na!

I’m so glad I made this trip.

I am now sporting a new golden (and a little pinkish) tan.

Reincarnation

Hello world!

It’s 2009.

This is my way of welcoming the new year with something new.

I am starting this blog not because I’m fond of my other blog but because of a very lame reason. I was scheduled to wake up at 6am today, but unfortunately I woke up earlier. I opened my pc and my blog and got bored.  LOL

That’s the whole story behind this blog. Hahaha!

Anyway, I am maintaining this one and hopefully make it as good as the other. Good daw oh?!

I love you all. hihi

P.S.

I will be updating my links later. Nagmamadali kasi ako eh. Haha!
