Grabbed from the site My friend KY was supposed to gift me one for Christmas last year. Unfortunately, her mom mistakenly got 'my' gift and gave it to another person. Huhu.. My BFF KI was showing me how useful the bag organizer was. I know it's kinda overdue - I mean 7 months after? Well, it was just the other day that I decided to get one. I sort of got tired of rummaging through my bag for my house keys! And I hate it when I have to organize my bag - every single night! Argh.. It was really overdue. And today, I got myself 2 ALEXA bag organizers !! I immediately opened the box and in minutes - transferred all my bag's contents in the bag organizer (size: Large). It fit my bag perfectly! I know it's kinda of stupid - but I can't help but admire the neatness of my bag! Makes me smile when I think about it. Another odd thing - I keep on looking at it (my bag!) from time to time! Hahaha... I don't know why!! Thanks Lorce of Alexa Bag Organizers !! :...

I am so very very excited to watch the first episode of Project Runway Philippines tonight on ETC at 10:00pm!! I am curious on what the show has to offer. And I want to see drama with a capital D!! Pinoy style.. Hahahaha!! Hehehe...

I am so happy that she is in love! Yes, she finally admitted that they're 'together' ( I wanna ask when! ) She even changed her status online! Yiheeeeee!! ( YES! This is you!! ) It's so nice to see her smile. I told her she should smile often. She looks happier too! I'm glad she's happy - she deserves it! It's so nice to see people in love. I wish that everyone feels that euphoric! Hahaha.. On a sad note, while one couple is happy in love the other is contemplating splitting up. She has told me it was for the best. What do I know, right? I just offered them prayers. I hope they patch things up soon. I really look up to them, but now - I don't know, maybe there lies something deeper. On times like these, I am honestly discouraged to jump the M ship. Kinda hard to be happy when some friends are not. But as BFF said - try not to generalize.

I can't believe it, has it been a year already? Coolness! I have this love affair with Promod ! You can ask my Panget, he is witness to my Promod shopping sprees! He even gifted me with a bunch of dresses from Promod ! I love love love Promod dresses!!! The sizes are amazingly perfect on me! I don't even need to try them on, but I still do, sometimes - especially when there's a dress that I like that is one size smaller. And so far, so good - because they fit me well! Hahaha.. Stroke of luck? I hope so! Another thing that I like about Promod ? When you look at their website - you'll see the same dresses being sold here. Isn't that cool the best? We're updated with the styles! I'm sooooo happy with Promod here in Manila!! I have been always a believer of those 'meant to be' thingies. This is so true when I go shopping! When before I always buy on impulse, but when I came back from my Beijing stint, well - I became a more discipline...

I am such a big fan of fried chicken! Why? Well, since I don't eat pork and beef - this is only one of the 2 things on the menu for me! :) Hahaha... My ultimate favorite chickens are as follows: 1. Chicken Joy - Jollibee I so love the crispyliciousness and juicy-liciousness! Langhap saraaaaaaaap! 2. Original Recipe Chicken - KFC My favorite would be the skin! It's really finger-lickin good! 3. Country chicken's I love the sauce! It's what makes the chicken yummy! The sauce! What can be the formulation? 4. S&R's Roasted Chicken Anyone who's tried this will agree with me! 5. Savory's Chicken I just got introduced to this recently. My parents are huge fans of Savory - they retell us their Savroy stories (everytime!) 6. Andok's, Mang Bok's and Sr. Pedro's ( they're NOT exactly my favorites, they're one of those options. Hihi.. ) They're filling and flavorful. Just as long as you get the newly cooked ones! Hahahaha......

On weekdays - since I work behind a desk - I don't get to walk much. But still, I play around with my FitFlop at night! Hahaha.. and they're still comfy as ever! :) Now, I wish I had all colors!! I envy my BFF - who gets to wear her pair with any dress (she got the silver, same with my Panget's SIL) I think I've felt some difference. I mean, while walking - my calves feel exercised. Funny and odd - but I swear, it's true!!

I know I WANT something when I can't stop thinking about it for days. Last Friday, I saw this while browsing through the Sony Ericcson site. It was love at first sight. I knew I wanted one. But it's not out yet - might be out by the 3rd quarter of this year.... Isn't she a thing of beauty? It's the SE W980 Sigh.... I love the sleek-ness. I love the color!

Used it the whole day yesterday! My feet didn't hurt AT ALL!! They're so comfy!! ( Walked the Greenhills Shopping Center, Unimart and even Rustan's Fresh Supermarket in Magallanes! ) One problem though... How do I clean this one? Is the leather real? If so, that means - I can't wash the FitFlop. Yikes!! Did I feel something different? Well, sort of I think - (it may just be psychological) my calves feel different!!

I didn't get to use my FitFlop that much today - I was just home the whole day, lazing around and watching DVDs. But there was something different. While getting ready for a night out, I felt a little dizzy. Seemed like the room was spinning a little. While I was showering, I also felt the same! Is that the wobble-effect of the FitFlop?? Hmmm.... I wish I can wear it with my dresses! (Argh! They're so comfy!!)

The FitFlop: Day One It's the most comfortable thing ever! I love my Crocs - I really do, but today - I forgot all about my trusted Crocs. I have been walking up and down the stairs and it's so comfy! No break-in pain, nothing! I wish I can wear it all night long! But you see, I went to a party last night and while having dinner (I wore a dress) - I wore my Red FitFlops! I know, it doesn't match! But I don't care - it's so comfy! Too bad, I had to change shoes to attend my friend Ky's party. My best bud KI was ecstatic when she saw me wearing one - she told me it's the most comfy shoe/flipflops ever! She was thinking of buying some more when she goes back to Hong Kong! Hahaha. He mom has one too and never takes it off (unless needed!) Isn't this cool?

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Kymie !! :)

Okay, Okay - it's as if I've NOT had enough of flipflops! But this one's different, or so it says. And I bit the dust. Again.. This has GOT to be the most expensive flipflop that I own!! Introducing... The FitFlop I've actually seen this last year in an email sent by Bath and Body Works. Apparently, it's the craze in UK! Not only is it a flipflop - but its a fitness shoe!! According to its website - you burn more calories and you work out while you walk! Now, isn't that FAN tastic? So, I got myself a pair - courtesy of my Panget's sister . I had a deal with her, if she buys - I buy, if she doesn't - well, we both won't have our own pairs! Kidding aside, she told me that she's already felt the difference! She's kinda excited for me to try it out though. Hahaha! I just got hold of the pair a few hours ago - courtesy of the Birthday Boy - Panget ! Yey! I'll be walking around the house tonight wearing the FitFlop ! I will be seri...

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my Panget!! :) Today - he turns a year older! :) Yehey!! :)

Nope, this we didn't get to do! I have a new found respect for Pole Dancers! The moves look really simple to do - but I just have to say... NOT EASY!! Pole dancing requires upper arm strength, flexibility and open-ness :) Lala and Judy of Movement Studio in Greenhills were nice enough to teach us a couple of moves. Man, they seemed easy at first - but when we tried them ourselves - it was HARD! It's a total body work out, I tell you. At the end of two hours - we were all drained! Hahaha.. My arms hurt like hell now. I have bruises on my arms and legs (this was normal according to Judy) I would love to try it again.. Hehehe...

URCC 12: The Supremacy was held last Saturday at the A.Venue Hall. That was my first time to visit the place. It was new and looked promising (meaning new restos to try out!) I remember reading somewhere about the burger eating challenge. We decided to camp out here for a while since all the cars (from the basement parking) were all together trying to get out! I saw a couple of people taking the challenge. The Burger looks kinda scary - I mean that's 3 freaking patties! How the hell can you chow everything down in 5 minutes or less! Hahaha... But as one friend (who was cheering another friend of his) was saying - it's all in the technique! Now, why didn't I think of that! The challenger dissected the burger - he separated the buns and the patties and began eating the patties first - he was actually alternating I think! Hahaha.. And he finished his with 1 more minute to go. What was funny was - he kept on saying how bitin he was and was thinking of getting an...

Image borrowed from www.apparelateneo.com Okay - I just have to say this - every year, tickets are harder to get! My gosh! Patty and I were panicking and stressing at the same time! But luckily - I got hold of a couple! Thank you!! We lost - and it was not because we were bad - but because the officiating was crazy!! I never comment on the officiating because I honestly don't have a clue - but yesterday - whenever we're leading - the call fouls! Just to even up the game! Revilla and Webb were wonderful! I love seeing Webb's reactions! Hahaha.. He made Lolo Freddie proud!! Dinidikit talaga nila yung score!! Which leads me to think - are they getting paid for the odds? Odds yesterday were La Salle +2.5 What do you think? Oh yeah! What was the techinical foul on the DLSU bench? For not wearing IDs? WTF was that?? And who was Normal Black angry at when we was called also for a technical foul? Anyone??!! I just have to say this - I mean, I HATE to admit it, Chris ...

I am writing this as an entry to Anton 's ' What is your latest awesome journey to the Islands of the Philippines ' the best tour group ever! Corregidor Island I never expected to fall in love with Corregidor. Its actually one of those places that's not given its fair share of press. The place is unique and nostalgic! I love the fact that it's untouched and real. Things happened on this island - and the charm for me is the rich history. I love visiting places with rich histories - and this one, well - it's just a ferry boat away from Manila! Now, that's convenient! Aside from the charm of Corregidor - the journey was made extra awesome because of the following reasons: a) I won the trip! b) It was hosted by the Carlos Celdran c) The tour group was the best! Everyone got along and had a great time! finally! Sagada The trip up north was not easy, nor was it fast! It was 12 freaking hours! But the trip was worth it! Sagada is beautiful! I love t...

Last night, I had a night cap with Fran and Sab . As we were chatting away, I learned that Fran was quitting her current job, when I asked why - well, she got a better offer from this leading magazine publishing firm. When I learned which publication - I was ecstatic! I knew how much she loved that magazine. It was a dream come true!! What made me more proud? Well, she was invited!! Oh my effing gosh!! She was invited!! I will never forget Sab's analogy - 'If before she was being offered VNC shoes, now it's a Manolo Blahnik'

Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Our favorite season is back!! Green and White - here we come!! :) I'm so excited with the DLSU vs ADMU game this Sunday!! Whether live or on TV!! Hihi.. How I wish we can still score tickets like these!! Argh...
