Hello, how are you? 

Updates

Wow this is crazy. I haven't blogged for so long and yet I think I have so much time in the world to do so. I haven't been really loyal to you all and I apologize for that. It's just that there were so much interesting things that happened, and blogging about them isn't just part of my list. Now that I feel inspired again to share my stories and all hoping that this will go on in the long run like before.

School started and meh, I've been busy just living my life. I am having too much fun and my motto for the past few months is "You only live once." YOLO for short.

There was Eurocup which was the highlight for the month of June and it's been crazy. Really crazy. I would go to school with no sleep and sometimes I wouldn't have the energy to do my part-time job at night. Though I didn't earn so much for last month, it was worth it. I had fun. I love football. I love my friends. I love the fans. I love everything about it.

I supported the countries Netherlands (of course), Germany, France and Spain. I've met new friends also - two French-Canadians who are in the Philippines for their thesis. They're such interesting and smart people. I also met their Indian friends who are also here for their thesis (I think). They're from New Delhi and wow, this is the first time I've met super cool Indians. I haven't seen this side ever since I had an idea who Indians are and it's crazy. I love their company.

There will be more things that'll happen in the near future. For sure, I am going to update you all about it.

Oh my God. I cannot wait to have a proper vacation! It's been a tiring month mixing work & school encountering tons of problems related to school and tossed with enthusiastic students who are eager to learn a new language. I enjoy what I am doing but right now I just want to have a long holiday and to be away from this city. My boyfriend and I have been doing early bookings for our holiday trip this December since it's a peak season, and for God knows what it is going to be a hassle to book on the latter part of the year. We wouldn't want to be left with such expensive places to stay in!

Right now the only thing on my mind is to be in a balcony with a beautiful sea blue ocean right in front of me drinking banana shake and having the time of my life. Oh such 8 dreadful months to go! Now, the only thing that I should really focus on is my summer for the next 5 weeks. What in the world am I going to do if I am so busy with my part-time job? The only thing thing that motivates me is how much people I am continuously inspiring & helping and of course, the money.  

Lalalala. I have to get ready for school now. Ugh, physics class. Damn you.

We All Go Through That Phase

There are some several changes that I've been experiencing for months now and one of them is how I dress up. I think I've officially ditched platform shoes, stilettos and such to sneakers, flats and etc. I don't know why the sudden change from high-fashion-ish to comfort lifestyle. I guess I was bored already and I need the change.

Here are some of the items that I recently bought: a Hurley backpack and DC Bristol Le shoes both from Bratpack, Greenbelt 5. I seriously adore that shop ever since the sudden change in my life. I just want to buy all those Roxy bikinis and dresses and everything! 

Right now I am high on traveling and my adrenaline towards it is so indescribable. Hence, my home page is Cebu Pacific Air. 

Ever since I got my new job (the first one too), I've been learning the art of valuing money. I've been kuripot and I seriously don't mind repeating clothes over and over again. I am already in that maturity stage that money doesn't grow on trees and never ever spend money that you don't have. With this conclusion, should I still be called "The Little Big Spender"? In my opinion, no. However, I still have to carry that name til' I grow older but doesn't mean I have to live it up to it. Haha. How confusing. Well, the main reason why I cannot leave the title behind is because I AM "The Little Big Spender". I am known for that and it hurts! Lol.

On the lighter note, I am looking forward to my future trips this year: Davao (again), Boracay and maybe more... I would really love to go to Sagada and Batanes as well but the busy schedule from school & work and the budget are such big obstacles! 

The Office Spouse

There are so much things I want to do: Read a book, fix my room & closet, practice sketching and so much more. However, I cannot seem to do all of these and end up watching series and going on social networking sites endlessly.

They can be tedious but it's already a nature for me to do it without even thinking about it. Last Sunday, I had my second day of work. Yes, I went to the office on a Sunday to work. They had to take our photos taken to be displayed somewhere. Again, I cannot write down such details for it is confidential.

Then I see a certain guy who works there. Don't worry, my boyfriend knows about this "guy" who I find cute. Okay, cute. No harm in that. Don't think maliciously. However, this isn't just a "guy" because his nationality is same as our boss' nationality & pretty much he is in a high position of the company. Let's just say... he has an important role.

Anyway, so during work the desk where I and some of my new found friends where at is just a bit across his desk. I had a good view of him and from my observation, he really has nice arm muscles. I seriously hope they won't find this blog or else they'll know I am talking about.

But that's about it. The farthest that I can go to is look at him. I don't want him or anything, I just really think he is an attractive looking man. Yum.

So while my new co-worker and I were listening to a lecture Mr. "Guy" walked in and looked at him. My co-worker looked at me and smiled so I smiled too. Our trainer saw our smiles and already knew what we were both thinking... Oh no, second day of work and I'm already busted. LOL!

I shall end this topic right now before my boyfriend freaks out! Don't worry boo, no malice :-) Have you heard of office spouse? Haha! Just kidding. Soon enough, I won't be seeing him again anyway.

I'm too in love with my boyfriend. We go together like butter and hagelslag :-)

While rest of my friends are in Subic enjoying their wonderful break (een beetje jealous), I am here being a busy & lazy bee. The only reason why I'm not in Subic right now is because I have an important Physics quiz & experiment on Wednesday. I can leave right after school but then I'd have to go back early Saturday because I have work again. Yes, there is no such holiday this Saturday at my work.

I caught the sight of my book and had the urge to read. So I'll keep you guys posted. Sayonara.

The Fangirl in Me II

Yesterday was pretty mind-blowing because I received such an important package from a football player who I truly adore, Gregory van der Wiel. He plays for the Dutch National Team and AFC Ajax. So if you're new to my blog and has no clue what this all Gregory thing is all about well....

(A repost from an entry from Janruary 25, 2012)

Last night I made a video for a certain football player, Gregory van der Wiel. He plays for the Netherlands based club, Ajax and as well for the Dutch national team.

Why am I fan? Because he is perfect in so many ways. Not perfect in a PERFECT-PERFECT way, but he is just that ideal man that I've always wanted. Lol, ok probably the other side of me ;) I have never dated a "bad boy" in my life. Haha! Though he isn't BAD, it's just the way he looks and act is just. ugh. Hot.

And he is so talented, he is really good and passionate about football and that is what I love about him the most. He is a really nice guy and any girl will have him would be so lucky, and of course any club or team would have him would be extremely lucky as well.

Anyway, last night I joined one of his contests and the prize is a Nike Mercurial Vapors with his name on it. Yes, used. Oh shit, that's really hot. So I did guess his size. However....

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR MORE INFO!!!!!!

UGLY THUMBNAIL. EW. HAHAHAHAHAHA. And there is one DISLIKE on the video. Probably some jealous fan. Haters gonna hate. If I were you, I'd keep that hating to myself and start focusing on how to get his attention too. It ain't my fault that I thought about this idea!

ANYWAY. After a long day at school - Physics made me fall asleep. I don't know why I was so tired during that class. And NSTP was good, I'm excited doing community service for this country. After NSTP, I went on my twitter (as usual) and saw this...

And a direct message! (Note: He did not follow me, he can send me a DM because I follow him)

WTFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!! Someone pinch, I think I am dreaming. This is way better than Mario Maurer replying and following me!!! Saaaaaaaaay whuuuuuuuuut!!!

Currently in lalalaland right now. Dreaming. Oh Buddha, thank you for giving me the power to stay positive at all times. Thank you.

And no, I understand that I cannot win the shoes but come to think of it - a jersey is way better than the shoes ;)

And yesterday...

Amazing, huh? He is a real gentleman because he kept his words and he really signed the jersey, put it on a plastic bag and sent it to me. All the time & effort just for me, wow. Really wonderful. 

So there you go guys especially to the ones who wondered how I managed to receive a jersey from such a respected athlete like Gregory. It such a great honor to receive such an important item in his life. It's a champion's shirt (though they lost to Spain in the finals but still won all games) and I am happy to have it with me. 

It's also an overwhelming feeling because of all people, I, a girl from the Philippines, received this jersey because of a video I made. Must be so special that it made an impact on him. Well that's how I love & adore him! Thank you again Gregory! 

The So Called Short Love Story Part Three

Oh my God. So sorry for the delay, I am such a bad blogger. So much things been going on my life - manual driving lessons (yeah, gotta learn the hard way), got a legit job (yes, I will start paying taxes soon), school work (fun and chill work except physics) and so much more events.

But as promised, I will be posting things about this so called "love life" of mine. So are you ready for part three? Well here we go!

Cayangan Lake, so beautiful here! Must visit!

Our very lovely Filipino lunch! So good, he fell in love with liempo

I know this post seems boring but hey at least there are pictures. Haha!

So I have been terribly busy with school. Even though I have a pretty chill schedule, I'm still a little bit stressed with work but the good thing is, I am having fun. In order to survive college, you have to love what you are doing. It's the same with work and everything. However, if it gives you tons of cash or other benefits and you're not having fun, then I guess that's okay too.

What's been interesting this week was the go see that we had for our Fashion Promotion class. It was tiring yet fun, we got to meet different models and they "auditioned" to be part of our fashion show as our final exam. I will keep you guys posted about that.

Anyway, what they did was pose for the camera, got their height and body measurements and we made them walk. So happy that around 39 models came to the go see. Kudos classmates, kudos!

I also started going to the gym with Bengt and it's a great feeling that I actually had the chance to move my body more. Yeah, stay healthy... blah~

I've been addicted to a Facebook game called Magic Land. It's awesome.

And of course, I terribly miss my boyfriend. I seriously do. Long distance is really hard but come on, we've been doing this for 2 years already so it's pretty normal I guess. Good thing school is distracting me from being all depressed and shit.

The Buddha says...

"May all beings be well and happy"

Cough Cough Ugh

What the hell. Only 3 posts on February?! That's pretty foolish of me! I seriously can't believe it, well you know what that means... I HAD A LIFE. Haha! in my perspective, okay. Since I don't really manage my time well, having too much fun and blogging about doesn't really go together. Hah. And also I guess I didn't really need to blog anything about it unlike before.

So I am currently sick, I have this sore throat that I got from eating chocolates. Wtf right. I don't get it. Anyway, I refuse to drink medicine cause I am too damn lazy but I also just want to get over it too. Anyway, I've been busy with school, catching up on my favorite shows and playing online games. I'm so hooked. And ugh, I am definitely not eating healthy these days. Blaming the so called hormonal imbalance freaking came so early and exact too. Before I was irregular and for some odd reason I am now a regular. Ugh, that is so mainstream.

Here's a video I recently finished. Meet some of my schoolmates.

2 Years in 3 Weeks

Some love story, lol.

The So Called Short Love Story Part Two

So where were we? Oh yes, the part when we went to Coron, Palawan. Oh what a beauty that place is.

We rode a bangka to get to our little humble resort, the place is great and wonderful. The people were so nice and the food is awesome. I totally recommend it.

And again, he's so beautiful. I am madly in love.

It would be so sweet of him to sit next to me not because for a picture but he would really want to sit and eat next to me. He think we're too far away if the table would be in between us. I seriously love this boy.

You're the kind of boy I want to make happy

I like your nose, I like your eyebrows, I like your beauty marks

I love your eyes, I love your lips, I love your cheeks

My Filipino breakfast

His Western breakfast, oh aliens.

Breathtaking view. Philippines is gorg. This picture does not really do that much justice.
