Update on Superstyle contest

I WON!!!

A consolation prize from Therapy Bags because I included one of her bags... and it happens to be one of my favorites in her collection.

Thanks Angel... I'm so glad I joined. Next time I will leave the editing to the experts.

This is supposed to be my prize... A checkbook and card holder set. Not bad. I want one in pink but my mom want it in red. I'm giving it to her as an early Christmas present. We didn't get to pick the color, though. Here's a sample:



Well, maybe I can keep the card holder. Hehe.

YAY!

Update: I already received the SURPRIZE... it came in white and it's so much different from what is posted in the Therapy Bags site... and so much nicer. Again much thanks to Angel and a shoutout to Roechelle of Therapy Bags.

Pushing Daisies

Pushing Daisies (USA) is a new comedy on ABC which features a pie maker who brings back dead people back to life by the touch of his finger.

From Wikipedia:
"Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with the mysterious ability to make the dead live again. The gift is not without its complications—if he touches a revived being a second time, they die permanently; and if a person is revived for more than 60 seconds, somebody else nearby dies (Ned clarifies this in the pilot episode, stating "It's a random proximity thing.") Ned, along with his private investigator friend, Emerson Cod, and his childhood sweetheart, the once-dead Charlotte Charles, whom he likes to call "Chuck", capitalize on the gift by reviving the dead murder victims to ask them about their last moments so they can collect outstanding rewards, if any, and solve the mystery of how the deceased met their end."

My favorite scene so far is that of Kristin Chenoweth (as Olive) singing "Hopelessly Devoted To You" on the show's 2nd episode.


Since I'm from the Philippines, I only watch this show online.

Sabado

1. Went to Lovien's old place in Pasig. Saw inaanak Gerard. Look how big he is...



7 months lang yan... It was Lovien's hubby's birthday but didn't join the festivities in Antipolo. Just gave Gerard's chair.

Oh, I love the keychain and t-shirt from Malaysia. Thanks Lovien!

2. Went to Cubao bazaar and checked out the Bath and Body Desserts booth. Finally I met Cathy. Went with my old orders (Choco Body Scrub and Vanilla Souffle). Hehe.

Check out B&B Desserts yummy treats at this site: http://bathandbodydesserts.multiply.com/

3. From Cubao, took a jeep to Kalayaan and met up with Abi and officemates at the Greenhouse Grill. Had 3 Lights. Was almost knocked out, would you believe.

4. Hanged out with Abi at Starbucks Katipunan and did some catching up.

Not bad.

One more pic of Gerard with ninang:

Knocked Up... and Down

I watched the movie "Knocked Up" today, which stars Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen. The storyline was pretty simple: a career-oriented girl got pregnant after having a one-night stand with a guy she just met. Then sparks fly... you know what I mean. How, what, when or even why... you just have to watch the movie :)

Great comedic timing from the actors. Even I find the delivery of expletives funny. I was most impressed with the acting of Katherine Heigl who happens to be my fave Grey's intern.

The movie was the saving grace on an otherwise crappy day.

It's more of a guy's movie really, but the ladies can watch it too. Just don't bring your kids co'z this is so R-18. :)

Bow to the Queen!!!

Reunion with Papa

So I saw my dad yesterday. After almost 20 years.

I may be a sentimental kind of person, but I tried my very best not to be too emotional. The result? A little bit of success. With my bro, the three of us dined... and talked... and talked a little bit more. A lot of catching up, really.

My dad's absence affected us deeply; I think my parents' separation hit me the most. But little by little, the family recovered. My mom was able to raise me and my bro on her own. We got our own place (we used to live in the family apartment, which I really, really DID NOT like, sorry Papa), my bro and I have our own degrees, and we're now financially stable. Well, not me... yet.

I don't know what to make up with all of this, but it couldn't come at a better time. Had this happened about 10 years ago, I would have been up on the roof.

More on this as soon as I sorted everything out.

So I went to the Joey and Louie show...

... Joey Albert and Louie Ocampo, that is. The musical tandem behind those 80's heartbreak love songs like "Tell Me" and "Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin." The reunion concert was a treat for me really, since it would be my first time to see them perform live together. I've always loved Joey's music, especially those songs composed by Louie, but I was too young to see them in concerts way back.

Joey and Louie didn't disappoint. They took us back in memory lane and serenaded us with hit after hit. The Sergio Mendes, Bacharach, and Mancini medleys were also good. Tried to record much of the songs in my cellphone, although I know it wouldn't sound as good. My favorite moment: when Louie joined Joey in singing her biggest hit "Tell Me." Ah, forever the hopeless romantic!

And to think that I almost didn't make it. It took quite a while to decide whether I should see this concert. Used to treat my BFF when Joey comes in Manila to perform but this time, I was kinda short of funds. So I went alone (haha)...

Anyway, seeing the SRO crowd, Joey and Louie still have fans. And I hope they gained a new following after the show. I wish I could tell more about the concert, but I was too starstruck just to see them together again. I have seen Joey and Louie perform separately live and on TV but nothing compared to this magical night.

Thank you Joey and Louie, for giving me a chance to hear and experience your music again. I'm a forever fan.

Feeling Senti

I am leaving home soon. To find myself. To focus on my dream. To fulfill a personal project. To finally reach for the stars. Whatever you call it.

I'll miss my room though. So I took some pics so I won't be so lonely.
