I know I said...

....I'll talk about my wedding in detail, but will just let Bridal Book do it for me (for now, at least)!

Thanks for the feature, Keisha! :)

I'M MARRIED!

Well, actually, I tied the knot two months ago. Haha! I know, I know, this blog really needs some attention. But to sum up my life in the past 7 months (can't believe my last entry was January!!!), all I can say is that it has been a crazy fun ride! I've got loads of stories to tell so hope you'll stick around!

Don't you just hate it when...

... you slather your face with soap and then suddenly there's no water coming out from the faucet? then you have to go down from the third floor with your eyes semi-closed (because the soap stings) just so you can finish washing your face?

... you end up paying for something that isn't your fault to begin with? plus you have credit cards bills to pay so you really need the money?

... someone tells you they're on their way and then arrives two hours later?

... you want to save money so you ask the maid to cook your baon and she tells you "naglalaba ako, bumili ka nalang." ?

... you bought a new printer so you can finally print colored stuff and your laptop just can't recognize it after installing everything and following what's on the manual?

... you decide to shoo the bad vibes away by just looking through Pinterest and the god damn website takes a loooonnng time to load that you end up cursing?

... you give the cab driver a 100-peso bill for your P82 fare, and he says he doesn't have change, and you don't have a 2-peso coin so he can give you P20, so you end up paying P100?

The story of my week, folks. And it's only Wednesday.

*scratches head*

I seriously need a drink.

The Proposal

Dear Friends and Family,

Heto na ang kinasasabikang kilig story of the week! Hahaha! Okay, let's start from the very beginning.

Nov 9, 2011 was our shoot day for OK! Magazine's annual Christmas team photo. Part of my job is to produce this shoot, and that meant doing all the nitty gritty details--from booking the location, prod team (photog, makeup, hair), transportation, down to pulling out outfits for the whole staff. Whenever I'm producing a shoot, my brain works 10 times faster than everyone else because if anything goes wrong, my ass is on the line. So basically, WORK MODE is plastered on my forehead.

I did the pullouts the day before and because I had no assistant (she's currently on vacay), doble yung pagod. I was so tired that I called Mitor hoping that he can visit me at home and bring me Chatime's Roasted Milk Tea but he was at a party so he can't. So I just slept and woke up at 6AM to put together the outfits, packed them in a suitcase, then hurriedly took a bath to make it to our 9AM call time.

First on the beauty chair! 

That's hairstylist Marie Tan doing her thing

Right after hair and makeup, I'm off to the clothes rack! 

Studying combos and who should wear what.

Can you guess what our theme is? :)

On my watchlist

I'm not a TV addict but when I like a particular show, I'm very loyal, as in super. But the loyalty lasts until Season 3, except for Friends. So anyway, since our Features Editor a.k.a. Download Queen is super updated with all the TV shows in the US, I was able to score a few shows to watch. In fairness to me, ang dami nito!

AWKWARD

For some teeny-bopper comedy

I was able to finish Season 1 in two nights! It's that fun! 

Can't wait for Season 2!

Dahil sayang naman ang photos

This is super old news and I'm sure you've seen these from other sites, but I just wanna share my first ever Cosmo Bachelor Bash experience. I actually didn't know I was going (they don't just give away free tickets in the office) but when Ms. M found out that I haven't been to a single bash ever, I was able to score tickets the last minute. Weee!

So here are some snaps from the show. Enjoy!

 Warning. Bawal ang bagets!

Realizations

Things change,

friends leave,

and life doesn't stop

for anybody.

- The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky

Today, I realized that it's quite hard to find true, flat-out honest friends. Change is constant, we all know that, so you're lucky if you have a friend who you know you can always count on--no judgments, no mind games. Someone who will tell you if you did something wrong, because she cares. Someone who will not talk behind your back, because you don't deserve that. Someone who will fight for the friendship, because it means a lot to her and she thinks it's worth saving.

So if you have at least one, treasure him/her. Nurture the relationship and never hold back. Because amidst the changes, one should not leave their true friends behind.
