Best of 2011!

I was seriously contemplating on whether to do this or not because I didn’t know where to start, but I have decided to do it and just dump everything in here.

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)

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

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

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 …

Ten Facts About Me

Saw this on Helga’s blog sometime ago and I thought to do one myself. ONE: I can’t whistle at all. I don’t know why! TWO: I’m talkative and loud. If people are embarrassed to be seen with me then that is their problem. THREE: I can’t NOT finish food. If I get a small serving then it’s good because I don’t get a second serving unless I’m super famished. When it’s a large portion or a big serving, even though I’m about to burst I feel really evil and bad if I don’t finish what’s on my plate. Like really bad. I hate the thought of throwing food or food that’s being wasted. Gives me so much guilt in life. FOUR: I’m scared of cats, thus I don’t like them. I had a bad experience and I always feel like they hate me so much. Dogs on the other hand, I am very much a dog person. Lovelovelove dogs. FIVE: I’m a chronic foot jiggler. It’s pretty bad. SIX: The reason why I don’t like …
