i missed these gurlies!

it's been a while since we saw each other (i last saw cheq during our high school graduation!)...we've been friends since our elementary years and i really missed them!
me and peepee, cheq, mae, and cai met at cai's place (as usual). we decided to meet at 5pm last december 6, and me, being the usual slow poke, was late for two hours. of course, they so love me and they knew i would arrive late (they were actually expecting it already) so, we got to leave the house before 8pm. we had to pick jack up first. ayen was supposed to come (she insisted we go to tomas morato), but she cancelled at the last minute because of an emergency. since none of us lived close to morato, we decided to go to MOA instead and have dinner and what-nots.
we ate at cafe breton and then we went to blue wave to sing our lungs out. haha..it was a really fun night! leo picked cheq up at blue wave, then peepee and i took jack, mae, and cai home. peepee and i got home at around 3 am, i think.

hope to see again real soon, but the next time we schedule a reunion, i hope everyone else gets to come!

digital picture frame

i got this as a prize (director's award - silver) last friday from the account...i thought it was a portable dvd player, but when i opened it, it was a digital picture frame...i wasn't exactly a big fan of it, but when peepee and i tested it, i thought it was great. i love it!

all i want for christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
there's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
all I want for Christmas is...
you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
there's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
with a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
all I want for Christmas is you
you baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
to the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeers click
'cause I just want you here tonight
holding on to me so tight
what more can I do
baby all I want for Christmas is you
ooh baby
all the lights are shining
so brightly everywhere
and the sound of children's
laughter fills the air
and everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
won't you please bring my baby to me...

oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
this is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
standing right outside my door
oh I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
baby all I want for Christmas is...
you

all I want for Christmas is you... baby

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...
