Welcoming 2012

Published by Justine

…and just like that, it’s another new year. I’m going to be redundant and say that FUCK, HOW DOES TIME FLY SO FAST? I’m (still) in the Philippines right now, and still loving it despite endless eating and drinking. There are so many things I want to say but I don’t know where to start. I want to be candid with this blog starting from this year but I wanna be just as candid to myself. I feel like I’m so open and transparent about so many things but there are other things I hate to admit to myself, and have so much fear about things and life that I need to start taking charge and practice on how to get rid of those things. I will get there, just you wait. New Year’s Eve was spent with my family and cousins at the Waterfront Hotel Cebu, first NYE spent with so many strangers in one room. Our NYE’s usually consisted of big family events or family friends, then after dinner and fireworks I’d go …

MOVIES Unfortunately, I didn’t watch enough movies this year.. which I think I should definitely change. With the strike that happened in Jakarta it just put me off from watching movies in the cinema but I loved …

I’m Coming Home (x-post)

Published by Justine

I was supposed to be spending Christmas (and New Year) in Jakarta but due to urgent circumstances I had to be asked to go home to Cebu. My sister, mom and I are leaving tonight but my sister and I have different flights and different routes (Singapore for a layover because we couldn’t get the same flights at the last minute). I’m filled with so many mixed emotions right now because even though I initially wanted to go home I already planned out my Christmas vacation with my best friends so now it’s like, a total turnaround again oh well that’s life, just go with the flow. It’s been a while since I “blogged” on tumblr like this I remember used to doing it all the time before, sharing little tidbits about my life which were too short for my blog or too long for my twitter. Picture above was taken last weekend when a few uni friends and their friends had a little (which turned out to be big, lol) Christmas dinner. At least …

Christmas Wishlist, It’s Time

Published by Justine

It’s that time of the year again where I whip out my Christmas wishlist, I just realized I did it around the same time last year. I decided to be a bit more reasonable with my Christmas wishlist this year as opposed to the previous ones. I figured a Chanel flap bag should start making its way out of my list (but I will keep wishing for it lord help me) because if I can’t even afford it, why the hell would I expect people to get it for me? LULZ. This year has been pretty good to me in terms of gadgets, I opened the year with a new phone, bought a Kindle, got a new MacBook Pro and recently bought a camera. Not to mention abundance of bags (thanks, ASOS), shoes and makeup. Such a (broke) girl. So here are what’s left of my list of wants 🙂 1. iTunes Store Cards, because there are too many things to buy in that damn store! Also counts for the Mac App Store. 2. Repuplic …

11 Months Later

Published by Justine

I was looking through my journal when I came across this entry exactly 11 months ago. The year had just started and like every start of the year we’re full of cliched optimism. This is what my entry was, incase you can’t read my horrible handwriting: TGIF!! This week went by so fast. if there’s any indication about how this year will pass from how this week ended then WE. ARE. DOOMED. I definitely don’t want it to be that way. In order for 2011 to be awesome for me I need it to go slow so I can enjoy each and every minute that passes amirite? It’s crazy. When I read that a while ago it felt like I just wrote it last week and now 2012 is just around the corner. 2011 has been a pretty awesome year for me. I was also thinking about that today, weighing the bad and the good that happened this year and the good definitely weighed more and I’m eternally thankful for that. Granted there is so …
