I haven't gone to a bar in the longest time, so last night with the Blockies was a great treat.





In line with Joel's realizations, I realized that Hoegaarden beer is amazing! Php200 for one pint is well worth it.

I also want to go back to Barcino and go all sosi with white wine and a cheese platter. Ano, game?!

Every time I get a notification that Tessa has tagged me on a photo, I momentarily panic because even if she's all the way in Fiji, she seems to have access to all our old photos. The sort of photos that make you cringe. But obviously, I'm beyond shame because I'm posting these photos from Ipil (now Sibugay) here:p

I think this was at Kuya Marvin's parents' rubber farm. Check out how tiny Krissy was back then. Ang kyoot! Anong nangyari sa yo?



What the hell am I wearing?! I should fire my stylist!



The Ipil regulars.



Looking back now, I can't imagine why we had fun in Ipil. It wasn't near the beach, electricity was rationed, water had to be fetched from the well, the kapilya was the primary source of entertainment and there was no mall or playground. Clearly, it was the company that made it memorable :)

I had the best childhood ever!

Aside from malls and bazaars, it's also best if I also steer clear of night markets like Soderno. While malls and bazaars only affect my wallet, Soderno affects my wallet AND waistline!

Why hello there regret!

That's it, I will start jogging tomorrow.

Serious na ito. Promise.

This is what I was all set to send out:

Hi _______,

I really don't know how else I can explain this to make it clear to you but the LOTD, FOTD, NOTD and kikay kit are supposed to chronicle personal styles. Not of any celebrity's personal style, certainly not JLo's style.

Gets mo?

I think I have already given you enough leeway and I honestly don't get it why you still cannot grasp the concept of the whole OTD feature. Everyone else does, so why can't you?

This has gone on long enough and frustrates me to no end. I'm deleting ______ from our directory.

Good luck with your professional life.

Jill


But I was talked out of it. G will deal with her because God knows, if I have to deal with another idiotic, fresh out of college PR person again I'm gonna lobotomize somebody.

We went to Sta. Rosa today with Krissy and her friend Mic to check out possible locations for their planned pre-school. That plan kinda went pffft because apparently Avida Land doesn't allow pre-schools inside any of the villages anymore and their only option is to rent space in a commercial area, and commercial = hella expensive, so that plan seems to be shelved, at least for now.

Anyway, spending the day in Sta. Rosa made me realize just how much I want to go back there. BUT if we do live there again, I refuse to commute everyday to and from Manila/ Makati, my threshold is only up to Alabang thankyouverymuch. Which means that if we do get a house in Sta. Rosa it's either I find work in Alabang or do freelance work / focus on the blogs. Kareerin ang blogging?! My dad would have a fit:p



This house was very near the park and could have worked well as a pre-school (first floor) and residence (second floor). I actually wouldn't mind living here too (sans pre-school of course) or anywhere in San Jose Village for that matter. Argh. Nesting instinct is sooooo on!

Just a few hours ago, I was whining on Twitter about how insanely expensive a certain hairclip brand's hairclip was, and a brand rep responded and explained about how they have to factor in taxes and all that, thus the more expensive pricing.

Talk about instant response!

Now that hairclip brand will sponsor a giftpack for my readers:p Isn't it amazing how Twitter works?

Next up, I will whine about how expensive plane tickets to Paris are...
