poser.

On the way to dinner on our 4th night in HongKong, Atz spotted this shirt on a mannequin. Jimi Hendrix is one of his favorite guitarists so he wanted to buy it for himself. Unfortunately, the rock themed shirts were only for girls so he told me that i SHOULD get it. and i did. And wore it the next day.

Here i am being a poser, pretending i know everything i know about Jimi Hendrix when honestly, i dont. i've heard his name before, but i didnt really know who he is, what he did, what dongs he made, etc. Dont worry, I know some tidbits about him already just so i'm just half a poser now. made for a cute outfit though! hehehe ;)

shopping. Jimi Hendrix top: cotton on; jeans: moto by topshop; shoes: hellz bellz x vans; bag: Givenchy; lifeproof case for iphone5

Madame Tussauds

May 14, 2013. It was our 5th and last day in HongKong and our flight wasnt until 9:55 that night, so Atz and i decided to do touristy stuff and took the Tram over to The Peak. When we got there, we didnt really know what to do— we had just eaten and have done all our shopping already. We went to the top floor to see the view, beautiful as it was, after 15 minutes of taking it all in, there was nothing else for us— except for this famed Wax Museum, Madame Tussauds. 

We were greeted by Jackie Chan upon entering — wax version, ofcourse— his was the only one that had to be photographed only by the establishment, and then personal cameras can be used with all the others.

it was fun checking out all those wax figures and checking if they really resembled the famed people that they were supposed to be.

here are some photo’s from my phone.

p.s. i ran out of memory and had to use Atz’s phone for some photos, and unfortunately, i havent loaded them in my laptop yet— i shall post those photos soon. but i guess these will do.

tears of joy

so that was how it felt like. to be soo happy you just end up crying. i've honestly never felt that before, not until almost a month ago, July 18, when my friends gave me a surprise party.

It was a week before my birthday, so ofcourse i didnt expect anything. Truth was, i came from a family day out and just went to Gel's house w my workout clothes coz we were planning to workout that night. Little did i know that as i was in Gel's room waiting for us to start (she had some relatives in the house visiting), everyone else was busy setting up my surprise.

Gel finally came up, and invited me to just eat somewhere first since there were alot of people in the house, it'd be a hassle for all of them to witness our workout session. So eat we went and boy, did i EAT!

Cafe Breton's Le Magnifique Crepe for dessert

After dinner, Gel asked me if i could accompany her to Fuel Up to just check on something. Ofcourse i did not suspect anything, i mean, why would i? her excuse seemed legit (it was.. she cant lie to me haha). so off to Fuel Up we went and on the way up i even tripped coz i was checking Twitter while climbing the stairs (oops)

When i walked into the door, since my eyes were on my phone, i just heard "SURPRISEEEE!!!" i honestly got confused at first. (dumb blonde moment!)in my mind i was like "wait. is it Gel's bday? am i a bad friend for not......ohmygawd" and BOWM. when i looked up i saw Mond, Elmo, Kuya Pao, Ehra, Nyko, Cannu, Saab, Chito. in that order. only then did it hit me that it was MY birthday. the surprise was for ME.

i dont know why but my initial reaction was to walk out. haha.

After showing me the whole set up and how they planned everything via bbm, i hugged everyone thank you and as i hugged my brother, Moe quipped "Bubbs, di ka ba naiiyak?" and i answered "NO!" making it seem as if i wasnt. but then my bro said "naiiyak na yan,,, ang higpit ng yakap sakin eh.."


then it happened. tears just fell from my eyes out of sheer joy.

Thank you VAMPS for everything. i'm so happy to have found you guys :)

it's important to have a list when you're grocery shopping. otherwise you end up buying almost everything you just feel like buying even if you dont really need it.

but what makes grocery shopping fun is when you do it with friends,,,, one who has the same wavelength as you and you both hoard everything from ice candies to food organizers, and one who is a more practical shopper (and the photographer in this case)-- the one who would stop you and friend number 1 from buying all those stuff that u obviously only wana buy coz u feel like it.... all these for a 3 day vacation :) (and the groceries apparently didnt stop here)

yes, we also bought this bread container. it's where we kept the muffins that we also bought. haha

didnt buy these snacks.. dried fruits arent really my thing. but yes, i do wear heels even when grocery shopping :)
tanktop, topshop. fringe vest, streetbeatboutique. denim shorts, mango. booties, zara. ring, aldo accessories. bag, louis vuitton.

here i am in my western/cowboy inspired outfit and Gel looking very feminine.
although we posed by all these oils, we didnt purchase any. no to oil! hehe

from food to containers to cleaning agents to toiletries -- we bought them all!!!
hence our realization of the need to have a list...and to never shop hungry.

cliche

time heals all wounds.. its better to have loved and lost that never to have loved at all.. so cliche. but then again,

"Almost every cliché contains a truth so profound that people have been compelled to repeat it until it makes you roll your eyes. But the wisdom is still in there."

--anonymous

what else are some lines, more often than not are so cliche but are so true?
