fun at blue whale grill...

yesterday, we went to alumi's first birthday celebration. it was held at blue whale grill in fun ranch, tiendesitas. peepee and i went to the venue around 9 am because we had to leave the balloons so the staff could arrange our reserved area. we got home around 10:30am and we had so little time left for preparations. i had to take the shortest full bath ever. kidding!
but it took me another hour before i was able to completely say i was satisfied with how i looked.
the host/magician/puppeteer did a good job doing his thing on stage, but peepee and i got a bit bothered by how he spoke. i mean, man! it was offending as hell! not that he was bastos or acting lascivious, but i mean, learning to speak english the right way (especially since he is an entertainer) could help big time!
he kept referring to alumi's mom, dad, and giro the "Birthday Family". i mean, how silly does that sound?!
anyways, everything else was delish. the children had spaghetti, french fries, and fried chicken, while the adults had pork asado (courtesy of mamita), i think it was beef caldereta, and buttered vegetables, and fried chicken. booze was flowing (yeah! iced tea!) and everyone seemed happy.
main attraction for me was when giro, charisse, and i think the other girl's name was pauline, danced Nobody. it was so much fun seeing giro dancing that way, without inhibitions! [ag bata nga talaga. it was really a sight to watch! i was so proud of him!
i'll post the slideshow later after i've uploaded the pictures and created the slideshow.
i might even post the video here...hmmm...

*****i lied...just check my facebook account for the pics.

what i want for christmas...

like manet, i've been an avid subscriber of michelle phan's youtube channel. i like what she does with her makeup and everything. she does a lot of makeup tutorials and stuff and i like what she does. what i like most is her (prabably) large makeup kit.
i've been seeing her use this huge palette of eye shadows. luckily she shares the names of the brands she uses, so i know what i'm looking for.
for christmas, i'd like to have this...
it's the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette. they have the same palette in all colors, and i like it too, but i think my skin is too dark for it. i read that these colors are great for creating smokey eyes, which i love.
it's priced at $24.95. if converted to philippine peso, it would be around 1000-1500Php. i still think it is cheaper than other palettes because this already has 88 colors.
and also, if you want to create your own palette, Coastal Scent's website allows you to do just that. of course the price would be different (per pot).

worst feeling ever...

hey, october's supposed to be my birthday month. i wasn't expecting to be sick for almost half the entire month. first off, a few days after my birthday, i got acute bronchitis. i was coughing my lungs out (and i still am) and i've taken a hell lot of medicines that were supposed to suppress the cough. ha! i'm in the point of stopping the belief in cough medicines. my pulmonologist ordered xrays, i got the results and my lungs are clear. nothing suspicious in it.
then, just last tuesday, i got so dizzy i was only able to complete half of my shift. i was throwing up everything i was eating and i was nauseous everytime i stood up. i've had dizzy spells in the past but i would just sleep through it and feel fine after waking up. i tried sleeping through it and when i woke up i was still nauseous. i tried eating dinner but i threw up again. i had to ask peepee to take me to the hospital because i wasn't feeling very well at all and it was getting worse.
so peepee and wiz took me to the UST emergency room and i stayed there for several hours. they checked my eyes and my ears. blood samples were taken from me and i was injected with flagyl so i would stop throwing up. after the results came out everything was normal, but i was still advised to consult an ENT so they could take a better look inside my ears. they suspected it had something to do with my balance system or something.
up to now, i would still get dizzy spells during the the entire day but the nausea has stopped.
hope everything is fine come this november...

it's nearing...

another year will be added and i'm deathly scared...why? beats me. there's so much things i want to do. so many places i want to go to. so many different cultures i want to learn. so many languages i want to speak. haaay...so many things left undone, so little time.
i wish i have all the resources i could get my hands on so i could do everything. but, i don't.
this is what i get from watching half of The Bucket List.
this is what happens if too many mucus clouds my brain (and my air ways)...
getting older is frustrating. wish i was back to being a toddler. back when i didn't have to worry about what to wear to work, or when i didn't have to submit any assignments.
back when the only comfort to any wounded knee was my mom's embrace.
**boohoo! emo mode!

what can i say? i'm plain addicted to them.
i saw another korean movie called 100 days with mr. arrogant. it was funny and romantic. the guy's way of showing how much he liked the girl was super! gusto ko yung propasal saken, ganun din sa ginawa ng guy. super nakakakilig! =D

sweet 18

wow..it's been a while since i last did this. been on facebook a whole lot of time before but now i'm busy watching korean dramas and movies online. just finished a korean drama called sweet 18. it was shown in the philippines before (over at gma 7) and i got to watch it and by far, it is the sweetest, funniest, most romantic (i could go on with the magnificent adjectives to describe it but i should stop), korean comedy-drama-romance series that i've seen. i'm just hooked to it! i've seen it like, more or less ten times already, but i just couldn't stop myself from watching it over and over again.

lee dong gun is so dreamy! i love him!
