A weekend update

A quick update on my sober weekend (only this time i was really sober)

Locks of love…
With almost two years of golden, auburn and copper highlights which gave me dry, damaged locks Ive decided to go punk rock with my hair ala ashlee simpson, so i colored it black yay! Im still getting used to it, though i had dark hair before, it was never this black. So from time to time i still startle myself when i look in the mirror, "whoa! who's that? oh silly its me.."

Before 

Tell me which is better?

Finding Neverland

        I remember back in the day when it used to be so easy to sleep. I can do it almost anywhere, in the jeepney and other modes of transportation or on a small couch even though i cant fit. And i think the best illustration of this awesome power of mine is during my Organizational Behavior class where i sit in the aisle of the middle row two seats behind the professor's table. I was sitting opposite my crush, yes, so all i do is look at him in a dreamy way while my chin rests on my hand, and before i even know it im off to Neverland. I do not know how and why my prof never notices and when the school bell pulls me back to reality she is already collecting her books or lesson plans and getting ready to step out.  But now I seem to have lost this ability, if not, well i guess its not working properly.

OMG this made me ROFL!!

    Our office held its annual global picnic, and when i say global picnic, i mean office wide rave booze party at a beach with Juliana Palermo and DJ Mo as hosts. (yeah) I however was not included in the list and therefore was left in the office to work *sobs* But its ok because they held it at Subic which is actually where im from and the beach venue is just walking distance from my place, its actually the beach where i jog in the morning (so boo hoo) But come to think about it, partying along the shore and intoxicating yourself with alcohol and dancing the night away with your friends even though its at your hometown where you've lived for 22 years is still better than staying in Manila to work the night shift (parang sikyo lng) Am i still making sense? Anyway, my point is you dont get to realize how much fun they had and how envious you really are until they get back. I came across totally random photos which would prove it

And now i bring you Exhibit A : Inside the hotel room of my guy officemates'

I never expected this to turn into something like this (more…)

My feet is my only carriage

"And I'll push on through" is what we used to say back in the day

when we had nothing but endless dreams and aims

…nothing but a spark of hope propelled our ships

and nothing but winds of ambition blew our sails.

You were always the most self-seeking one,

always eager and determined to take a leap

and never did you ensconce in mediocrity.

And now the goals are within reach,

submerged in excitement, you work harder

for you know this is just the beginning.

The embers of your passion burn even brighter

taking pride with every step you take

and remaining ever so cautious for life's storms hover around.

Keep pushing on through where ever this dream might take you…

Keep moving forward knowing people behind are proud…

Do not let the fire burn out when hope's lost in obscurity…

Do not let the glow perish in disappointment for what you deserve and have not achieved…

Ride the tide as it rolls

For it is real… It exists… It is yours.

***I'm glad to see that finally you're doing what you've always wanted. You have grown more than anyone I have ever seen and I am truly proud of what you've become over time. And Im happy to see you doing your best and trying hard to create the world you were meant to be in.

Bringing back the spirit

The 70th UAAP season opened last Saturday, July 7 at the Araneta Coliseum (where else?) The participating universities (eight teams all in all) stormed back with an air of new rivalry. They carried their colors with pride, all trained and prepared to battle each other with no plans of defeat specially now that La Salle is back from their year long ban. Im hearing talks already about an ADMU and DLSU face off at the finals, it gave faithful followers of the two's legendary enmity the sudden ardors of curiosity, thus stealing the center stage from my beloved, defending champion, alma mater. These season indeed is marked by a breathe of interest for everyone.

BLACK, GOLD, BLACK, WHITE!!

I wasnt able to watch because i had work, I didnt even see the first game last sunday. But we lost so i guess not being able to watch it was a good thing. hehe

Blog Addict?

81%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

This is me not having anything to talk about yet, I've been busy at work, ok busy is not the word, I've been swallowed by my work station, there that describes it better. NO kidding, i don't know what happened but all of a sudden it seemed like hell here at the office. That's why I might fall on unexpected blog hiatus, at least you know why. I also tried reading other blogs during free time to no avail - i had no free time!

 I answered yes to half of the questions here…and  despite being busy at work I'm still a blog addict!

I wont post all of it here but you can view it in my flickr along with the other drunken photos I took from before. eheh so i guess its not browser killing time anymore…

Taste Asia! I was there too!

   
So much for being discreet huh… Marlon and I arrived at Taste Asia (MOA) for the Bloggers Food Fest in a timely manner…NOT…we were 30mins late and almost didn't get in. We told the registration that we did leave comments on them blog sites so we could get listed but our names were nowhere to be found. If the girls in the registration area didn't feel sorry for us we would have wasted one night of free booze and food. ahehe Anyways, they allowed us inside, you should have seen our faces light up like a kid enumerating his xmas list while on santa's lap, ok maybe not that exaggerated but you know what i mean, hey it is free booze so yeah. We were looking around for familiar faces, it was hard to tell since they kinda look different in person or maybe nobody was really familiar? Ok i saw Ms. Janette and im like woot! I would've come up to her and said hello if Marlon wasn't dragging me around all excited for the beer, food, Cliquebooth and waiters distributing fruitshakes and oh the photographers too, he must have hailed 3 of them to take our picture. Yeah he couldn't quite point his finger at what he wanted to do first. I just hope the pics are not all over the internets–I'm s'pose to be sick…ok i won't elaborate.
