Kill-ay!

One thing I'm very keen about is my eyebrows. I've been having it threaded since 4th year high school and I still wonder kung bakit pa rin ako naluluha. (Walang halong emo! Haha!)

But I recently found joy of having it waxed. Mas madali, mas sandali yung sakit (walang halong emo again!) at mas mainit (ANO!?). So I psyched myself up to have my eyebrows waxed again but I was too lazy to drive to Katipunan today. So, I headed to the nearest Lay Bare. I heard they are great wax-ers (ANO DAW?!)

But when I reached Lay Bare, they only offer eyebrow threading. Waaah! Hindi ako ready. When I go have my eyebrows threaded, I usually take painkillers para hindi masyadong masakit. Huhu. But I need to go through that process because my eyebrows are hideous.:(

Although it wasn't as "shapely" as my trusty Azta thread-er (ano daw?!), I'm happy my eyebrows are clean. And I paid half the price from my usual eyebrow maintenance.

I just had to share. Haha!

God wants me to know...

... that doubt is the greatest gift, - it's the space between two certainties. 

Any change on its way from one place of stability to the next one, passes through a period of doubt. Your old perspective has to disintegrate, and doubt comes in for a visit - even if only for a moment, before the new perspective takes root. Doubt is your greatest gift, because from doubt you can go anywhere.

And this message is timely because as of 10:00 PM last night, I am officially unemployed. After a year of being a photographer for The Picture Company, I have finally decided that it's time to move on. I have to go back to school.:(

Oh life.

Words can't explain how I feel but I'll try.

August 24, 2009--After the habit of waking up after 10AM pa for a year, this is what I look like when I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the airport!

This is what Edith and I look like when we get to the airport.

I wish I could say that we're on our way to a vacation. 

Amidst gago pictures, may umiiyak na sa gilid. The real reason why we are here in NAIA early in the morning.

My friend, Aisa, is leaving for California that day. She's going to stay there for 2 years and study. A part of me wants her to stay but I know that won't do her any good. She's the MOST positive person I have met. And even though I am pessimistic (harhar!), we've been very good friends.

Wala na kaming paki kung pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao sa airport. Iyak kung iyak at hatid kung hatid hanggang gate ang drama namin. Meron pa ngang nagtanong kay Lara kung yung hinatid ba daw namin ay kapatid namin.

Maybe I could say na magkakapatid nga kami. Kahit hindi kami nagkikita ng madalas, tulad pa rin ng dati friendship pag nagkikita ulit.

Bon Voyage, Aisa!

We are just an email away!:)

In two years, we'll be able to take a complete picture again. And hopefully by that time, we don't have to pretend that we're smiling for the camera.:)

*photos are from Edith Encabo :)

Whenever I get scared/hopeless/hormonal/depressed...

I watch this video.  Thank you to the creator, Madyeti47. Credits to him. There are things that we do that people do not comprehend. But we still do it just to feel the one thing we really, really want. Kiwi!

It gives me hope to just do it. Do the things that I want to do, feel the things that I want to feel. And that it's okay to chase after the things that I want.:)

9 more shifts.

9 more shifts and I will be done with TPC. Edith posted this picture in tumblr. And I suddenly realize that I am kinda scared to leave. What if my plans don't work out.:(

 This picture was taken at a time when we hit the highest sales for the whole TPC history. Our team made history. I was part of that team. I'm proud to be part of that team. I will miss everyone. Si Edith na lang matitira samin sa picture na ito.

A time where I would rather be in the store than being with my family in Iloilo. It's because I know they are doing shoot after shoot after shoot and I'm in a vacation.

This is where my countdown begins.:(

Dooroorooroo

Kate and I had this conversation about breeding. (Chicken? Chicken Breeding? nye. Nakakapikon. Hindi nakakatawa. Haha!)

You really, really, really can NOT buy class.

But as my friend Gab would put it...baka naman if you have a lot of money, you can buy a class in JRP to teach you class. Hahaha!

B&W Photos are classified as classic.

It hasn't been smooth sailing for our family for the past few weeks. This is the first time that we'll all be together. And honestly, just now, I'm becoming teary-eyed. Not because I am sad. It's because I'm just happy. Mom and Dad are now bati.:) And even though my brother and I had a sigaw fest this morning, all is good.

This is actually the first time that we all hung out together. Doing nothing. We are currently here in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in High Street. Usually, this is a place where I hang out alone or with a friend. But today is different. I'm with my family. We are complete. So this is a first for us. And I'd like to relive this moment forever.

Dad and Mom

Me, Chizzie and RJ

I don't mind waking up at 6:30 to pick my dad up. This is worth it.

I won't forget this day. Classic.:)

I don't say this a lot but I really love them.:)

I cannot upload Lady Gaga Concert videos...

it's because ang lakas pala ng pagkanta ko. As in nakakahiya.

I love Lady Gaga! Though it was bitin, I don't mind. I enjoyed every minute of it! Kuddos to Pedicab as well. I enjoyed their opening act too.:)

I'm just so happy.:)

I will upload pictures and (some) videos soon!:)

I CAN'T WAIT!:)

Remember how I exchanged Lady Gaga to Ukay-ukay? Well, when the event got nearer, the more I WANTED to watch it. But, I used up my money for Ukay-ukay. So I lost all hope. 

NOT UNTIL my friend, Pat, called me up last Sunday to give me and Lei tickets to the Lady Gaga Concert! Thank you so much Pat! We really, really love you! Super! Thank you!:)

I can't wait to watch.:) I will surely be blogging about it right after.:)

I'll see you later!:)

Friday is Table and Closet Day!

It's my day-off today!:) And after sleeping for HOURS, I decided to clean my work table here at home. It's a mess! But when I saw my sister's table, I knew that I can clean my table! Woot woot!

and yes, I do have Tanduay in my work table. Just in case...(AY NAKO! I WONT MAKE EXCUSES! Hahaha!)

Yeeey!:) On to the next "problem"...my closet. I don't have lots of clothes but I would rather sleep than plan my outfit. That's why I rummage through my closet every morning. I wonder how long it would take for me to keep this closet in tact.:) Haha!

Hurrah! I said I'm sorry momma, I never meant to hurt yoouuu...I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleaning out my clowzet!:D

Haha! Now I'm off to Eastwood to watch The Proposal with Kate, Cam and hopefully Yani!:) Wheee!

Plurrrkkk...

No Plurk. Don't do this to me.:(

Now, now, what shall I do with my life?

Haha!:)

This is my claim to fame!
