Dark Clouds

Published by Justine

This week has been such a struggle for me, evident from Monday’s post below. I don’t know what it is but I’m guessing it’s probably just PMS or something. I’m feeling extra weak, been getting random stomach pains and bad migraines and headaches (sometimes it feels like a weeklong hangover but I didn’t even drink that much during the weekend) plus I just got my email from monthlyinfo that Tom‘s about to arrive soon, so it’s probably that. It feels like I’m always waking up on the wrong side of the bed and before I sleep I feel extra tired. I’ve been taking my vitamins but I’ve been feeling too lethargic to run this week, I can’t wait til I get back in maximum state of mind so I can get back to running. Last night the fambam and I went to the airport to send off my dad who’s going back home to Cebu for a while. I don’t know how long until I see him again and I’m such a daddy’s girl when …

Monday Blues

Published by Justine

It was such a chore to get up this morning, I wasn’t feeling the day and totally dreaded it. I hate it when I wake up with negative vibes but what’s good about it is it doesn’t usually last until the end of the day (unless there’s a strong reason for it to last). Plus I haven’t had a bad Monday in a really long time so waking up that way really left a bad taste in my mouth. Fortunately for me, our bosses didn’t come in today so my mood immediately got lighter and following SMTOWN New York livetweets gave me some good second-hand fangirling vibes. It’s lunchtime now and while workload has been bittersweet the first half of the day (it’s the good news bad news kind) I’m just thankful I don’t feel so negative anymore. Sometimes you really can’t help what to feel. Being a Gemini, I can attest to that. Here are some photos I took during the weekend, which was pretty eventful that I didn’t really get sleep until Sunday …

Paris Mon Ami

Published by Justine

Indonesian fashion blogger and one of my close friends, Caroline Robianto, invited me to a fashion event by Hermés called Paris Mon Ami to launch their new scarf line in Indonesia. I’m not usually a fashion person (although my bff says otherwise), I mean most of the time I prefer comfort over style but I never not care about how I look and always try too look my best even in just shorts and flip flops. So when she told me she was going to invite me, I admit I was sort of freaking out. I wasn’t in the league of fashionable people!!! WHAT TO WEAR HOW TO ACT.

Pink for October

Published by Justine

It’s officially one week into October and it makes me stop and think, “Where the fuck did time go?” 2011 has been more often a great year than not, and I’m immensely thankful for that. One of the things I am always thankful for up to now, is that my mom is still and continues to be happy and healthy. She has been a breast cancer survivor for 3 years now and there’s not a single day in which I am not thankful about her current health. When I saw this OctoPink theme while browsing the web I thought it looked really nice and appropriate for the blog. Pink happens to be the representing color for Breast Cancer Awareness so I decided to change to this theme for a whole month. I’ve always been neutral with the color pink, sometimes I love it sometimes I don’t but there’s always something about pink which catches your attention. Just a few months ago my aunt who lives in New York (and also a breast cancer survivor) gave …

Last Friday Night

Published by Justine

It’s another Monday and another start to the week. Not to mention it’s officially October.. we can finally stop rolling our eyes to statuses like “Wake me up when September ends.” I love sleeping, but I’m sure sleeping for a whole month isn’t the best idea. Last Friday I went out with old Uni friends I hadn’t seen in a while. We basically went our own ways after graduating; a friend went to China to study Mandarin for a year (he said it was like a year-long vacation, envious!), another got married not too long ago, one started his own online gaming business while still working, some maintaining family businesses and the rest being part of the working class. Just less than 2 years ago we were still sitting in class trying to figure out what to do with our lives and here we are, all employed. Quite surreal. We went out for dinner then went clubbing (which was packed, packed, packed so I didn’t take any photos). Even as we went out the Security …
