Sunday Diaries
I haven’t blogged for a week and I have a perfectly good reason for that. I’m busy. Ok, everyone is busy. Midterm week is here and it’s about time to get down to business and start facing the books instead of Facebook. I guess that’s a good enough reason for my absence. Hey, I’m a senior in college and I have thesis for crying out loud! It’s my ticket to march...

What’s the perfect item to pump up the perfect outfit? Lucky underwears? Well, yeah, if you wear them outside. Besides that, it’s the piece that boosts your confidence and gives your wardrobe a lot of oomph. Spell it with me, S-H-O-E-S! Who doesn’t love shoes? It’s the item that should always be worn. How you wear them tells a story and what better way to continue writing...

Neutrals
With our uniforms back in style, I have no choice but to wear them (of course). I wouldn’t want my ID hanging at the school guard’s station with a masking tape on it and signed: Not wearing uniform. School has officially resumed with no time to alter my extremely messed up body clock plus loads of school work already lined up.
Today was jam-packed! An early class for thesis and by...

It's More Fun In The Philippines
I love the new slogan of DOT. It’s More Fun In The Philippines that is why I opted to wear something that goes with our flag. Blue, Yellow and Red. Honestly, I wanted to wear something laid back for a stressful day. I was prepared for all the work and meetings to be done so I wanted something simple. I stumbled upon my sister’s gift which was the shirt and thought about extending the...

Loathing of Pants
Most of us know (and maybe some of you don’t) that my school is very conservative when it comes to dressing up. There are certain dress codes that ought to be followed. For example: sleeveless, slippers, shorts and skimpy skirts (talk about a lot of SSSSS??) are not allowed when entering upon the school premises hence the wearing of the ever-so-used apparel that is PANTS.
Pants will never...

School Journal
School has embarked for 2012 and I am not yet ready to face my beast-friend that is stress!!! With no choice, I have to. So how was your day? As for me, I had a meeting already and it’s because of the upcoming MISS this February in Davao City. It was a really informal meeting and hopefully we’ll have another meeting this or next week.
With only three more months left of my college...

Trip Down to CU Medical Center
Last year (2011), I discovered that there was a lump on the right side of my breast. I didn’t bother doing anything about it since during one of my conversations with my bestfriend, Patrice, she also had one and it just disappeared. So I assumed that mine would do the same. Or so I thought.
When I witnessed the Glitterati fashion show last December, I saw one of the models who was a friend...

It’s the third day of three hundred sixty-six days and what makes it special is that it’s Mom’s 4*th birthday. I wont spill the beans on her true age since she stopped counting when she was 40. So, there’s a clue, her age is above 40.
My vest is from a thrift store and it’s worth P10 only. Anyway, I had a hard time looking for...

Two Zero One Two
I welcomed the New Year in a really dolled up manner to remind myself for the whole 2012 that dressing up has no limits and that it takes a whole lot more than just T-shirts and jeans to work it. At least, that’s what I think. It’s a confidence booster and a form of self-expression so this year, I’ll be dressing up more.
Vote for my look at CHICTOPIA.

The Year That Was: 2011
As 2011 is coming to close end, we say hello to the most awaited year that is 2-0-1-2 (a la Jay sean). With that comes togas and diplomas. I’m beginning to smell them and that’s the one thing I’m looking forward to on 2012 and hoping for a stable job too! Yes, please? As I say Au Revoir to 2011, here’s a recap of my favorite events.

Christmas Gifts
Because everybody starts talking about the New Year, I would like to share the material things that I received for Christmas. For those who have seen my wishlist, sad to say I never achieved any of them. I’m guessing for graduation, I will. Nevertheless, I am happy!
These are the things that people gave and I bought for myself as Christmas presents.
This jewelry stand that I have...

3 in 1 Christmas Post
Because I am too lazy to segregate things to share about, I will place them all in one entry. Starting from our traditional Noche Buena, followed by our family Christmas party and lastly, the Bloodline Feeding Program.
Despite the calamity that has hit our neighbor city, traditions will still be followed and with that comes Noche Buena. After Simbang Gabi, which is the Christmas Eve mass, we head...

Sendong
What’s said to be the counterpart of Typhoon Ondoy, that hit the Northern part of the Philippines, may not exactly be called as the counterpart. For me, this is worst. Who ever knew that a span of 4hours hard rain would cause this to our beloved city:

Everything is so heartbreaking but let’s not lose our hopes dear Filipinos and...

Pau's 17th Birthday Dinner
If I can accurately recall, the last time I ate at Max’s Restaurant was way back in grade school. At that time, I didn’t really appreciate their chicken or their rice or whatever was on the menu. Call me picky but I didn’t have an appetite for food back then. Max’s was then transferred to the Robinsons building where Cafe Laguna used to operate and I haven’t been...

What's Up?
Before anything else, I hope nobody has decided to unfollow me due to my unreasonable absence in blogging. We all have that time of year when we just couldn’t afford to slack off and blab about the things going on. So far, I have been pre-occupied being a full time student hence the most frightening event that is THESIS. Apart from that, I have also been a part time officer and a girlfriend...

Singapuraaa
After our inspiring yet educational experience in Truly Asia (Malaysia), we set foot to another journey filled with modernization and a perfect example of globalization. Hello Singapore!
Our first day was spent with courtesy call at the Philippine Embassy and trip down to the Lee Kwan Yeu School of Public Policy. We all felt very inspired yet challenged. *fingers cossed* everybody!

Malaysia, Truly Asia
As my sembreak embarks on its second week, I bid farewell to my mother country, hopped on a plane to LAX (a la Miley Cyrus’ Party in the USA), well, plane to Kuala Lumpur. A visit to Malaysia would be my second out-of-the-country tour. And yes, blame my awesome course, that is International Studies, for holding this adventure. Oh, God bless my restless soul.
I flew to Malaysia with 25 other...

DIY Tattered Shorts
I have a couple of things listed in my things-to-do-on-sembreak list but turning my old jeans to tattered shorts was not on it. Maybe boredom has really gotten into me or its just me, being my frugal self that I don’t want to look for shorts around the mall and spend a dime on it.
I’ve has these jeans for 6 years and I haven’t worn them since I was in 1st year college....

Warning: THIS IS A CHEESY POST!
It’s the fact why I love being with you. It’s the feeling I get when I feel your presence around mine. It puts the biggest smile on my face when I see you happy being with me. When you smile, it seems as if the world has come at ease. Knowing that you’re happy, makes me happy.
Finals and requirements sure made our schedules clash so what...

Closing Time
My last year of being captain, my last year of joining the Intramurals and my last ever swimming competition was *insert all superlatives* memorable. Blame the fun that is SWIMMING! Who could ever forget the hardcore training; going home at 9 in the evening because we wouldn’t shower unless the pool is closing; unlimited rice-dinners and the endless rants and gossips that build a foundation...

August (UD): Greatness in Achieving Perfection
Aout, as we say in French, has to be the most dramatic month of my year. In a span of thirty-one days, experiences and realizations made a big impact and eye-opener to my everyday existence. Yet, despite all the commotions and the struggles and the arguments that occurred, life has, once again, never failed to teach me well.

We Are The Change
When the new set of ADC officers had taken over the organization, the biggest objective in our minds was CHANGE. I don’t mean to point out that the past administrations didn’t satisfy us. What I’m trying to express is how International Studies would not just be called as the tambakan ng mga bagsak but rather be given the respect that we deserve to have. It’s about time that...

Life May Not Be Fair But It's Still Good
The statement that I live up everyday next to God is good. Instead of trying to come up with a valid excuse to my blogging absence and going on and on again about my usual rants and musings about school and the stuffs that I am obsessing with, I’m thinking of dishing out a bunch of events that are headed towards my way that I think are signs of the unfair life that I still manage to love.

A Different Kind of Unwind
The weekend after exams is normally the days that you prefer to snuggle with your favorite cushion and be thankful that you finally had a good night sleep after 120hours of not having one. Despite dwelling on my last two sets of mind throbbing tests, I choose to move on instead of mopping.
Our normal way of celebrating the end of an eerie week is a trip down to the dance floor but today was a...

Rainy Day on Friday
Tonight, I am writing (ok, blogging) out of depression and a little bit of desperation to type. Like any student, I’ve been juggling everything and by that, I really mean everything. Midterm exams are next week and I have yet found the perfect procrastinator (no, I don’t do this often) for it. Training is getting intense with only less than two months til the annual school intramural....

Random Bliss for Random Rants
I’ve been down in the dumps these days and I bet it’s the exams that got me. I easily get discourage and lose my focus at times that I feel that I’m failure. Although I’ve been indescribably happy last week because of the love that I got, I still feel disappointed with how I did with the exams. :( I really really did my best and even slept late for it but then again, the...

The Lucky One
It’s the time of the year where my Facebook wall shall be piled up with greetings and where in my phone beeps non-stop from all the birthday SMS I get. This year, it has been extra special *still in cloud nine*. Let me do a photo-up and let it be self-explanatory. Kidding! HAHA!

I actually forced the rents that we shall dine at Siam since I’m craving for Thai food. Because of that incident, they got addicted to it and said that we shall have dinner again at Siam for my birthday. Haha! If...

I was never that active when it comes to student organizations although I did try but the only thing that I participated was the Intramurals. This year, I’m finally *HAHA! Been dying to be one since before* an officer of our organization and for the record, I’m having fun being busy. There are some benefits to being one, of course! Who wouldn’t want to be included? HA!

DADeDYdodu Day
Before I shoot… why do I get the feeling that my blogging shall be a lot less updated nowadays? Besides my seasonal mind working, there’s school and well, mainly school. I’m drowning with paper works and goodness, my professors were not joking about that part. There’s the new analysis which we have to compose two prior to Prelims and Midterms; followed by the ever famous...

Let Me Teach You FRENCH But It's Not A Word
I woke up today and thought: “Yes! Rain!” I got excited since I can finally wear my Php200 boots that I got from the thrift store. Also,it was my first day of French class and it wasn’t that bad. In fact, I’m excited to learn more and I’m ready to use Katrina’s audio book which she happens to lend to me. Second day of school was comme ci comme ca! If you know,...

Raise Your Glasses, Senior Year
Usually, I’m excited when it comes to first days of class but today, I just had this gutty feeling. It’s not my first day sickness syndrome that’s coming, I can be sure of that. When I stepped on the grounds of junior year, I kept on thinking: “Wow! A few years more and I’m off to go!” but now, I’m holding it back. I’m beginning to think of What Ifs...

Back Blogging
Perhaps the title says it all. I’m very busy and sometimes I’m so tired that I don’t get enough time to share what I have been up to. Nothing has really been that interesting lately and well, I think school has officially started; but that’s just for my part and I think the other officers would agree to that. We’ve been serving at the department for five straight...

Walk Me Down the Aisle
Nevermind about the title. It’s just something I thought it was catchy. What’s my weakness? Weddings. Being a freelance event planner which I started from my debut to parties and team buildings, it has been my dream to plan weddings! The dress, the food, the reception, the entourage and everything about it just makes me want to plan it all. Anyway, my cousin, Rafael whom we popularly...

Flash Back
For three weeks, I got to experience the independent life. Urban dictionary quotes an independent woman as: A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things and DOES NOT allow a man to affect her stability or self-confidence. She supports her self on her own entirely and is proud to be able to do so. Quite true but I have my own analogue of independence. Being independent isn’t all that...

I have MOVED!
Hey there friends! I have finally grown up from my preppy and childish cyberself and turned into the informal and mature cyberself. Let’s put it this way, I was exposed to internet when I was still 12 and the things, I was also preppy and very kikay and when I opened an account in Yahoo Mail, my email address was: denskie_cutie17. I know. You can laugh all you want but I’m not the only...

Junkyard of Rants and Portraits
I’ve been somewhat MIA for a couple of days and I mainly blame work for it. Honestly, I’m in my state of giving up. Mom told me that I’m feeling tired since I don’t get paid of what I’m doing. Ha! Tuche! Mother knows best.
So, I’ve been walking the streets of Manila for almost three weeks; living my independent life (Yes! I know how to hand wash my clothes!)...

The Overdressed Intern
I can’t believe I survived my first week in Quezon City. I never expected the Manila would be blazing hot; I nearly had a fever but thank God I didn’t.

The first two days were spent in the busy streets of Quezon and Makati. I concluded to myself that with the heat, I wouldn’t survived.

I wouldn’t exactly call this as the most “awaited” part of my summer or my “experience of a lifetime” since I totally had a bad first day. My luggage got ambushed and all my jewelries were stolen. And I really mean ALL. But let’s not dwell on that anymore. I’m trying to recover from that experience. So let’s go too the deets. By the way, I’m...

Some Fun without Sun
It’s been said that summer is all about the beach, the sun, and all that sayings but believe me when I say this: I haven’t experienced that yet. It’s just the first month of summer and I already had my fair share of backbreaker waves. But then, there’s also this saying that God is good and Aal izz well and also, good things come to those who wait. I really thought that one...

Been Up To
Sorry for the lack of entries, I’ve been busy and I’m still recovering from my flu. Probably being this busy is the cause for my high fever.
My OJT has been moved to first week of May which means I’ll still be here on the last week of April. Yay! I wouldn’t have miss Denise and Ricky’s birthday bash.

Family Tree
Today, I woke up feeling pissed because (a) I hate the thought of being absent and (b) Mom woke me up super early. But eventually, I had no choice. I prepared and drank my cup of Swissmiss and feeling optimistic about the day. It’s not like anything would change if you keep on frowning about it; might as well go with it.
We left at around 7-is in the morning and I still had droopy and...

Quick Cold Dip
A stressful enrollment combined with strong students combined with follow-up meetings combined with unannounced meet-ups combined with sleepless nights equals a very tired Zee. This week has been pack and it’s too late to complain. What’s done is done.
Another thing to complain about is my increase of food intake. Mom said it would be alright but I have a feeling this shall prepare me...

Forget About The Price Tag
Forget about the price tag since my top costs only P10. The wonders of UKAY-UKAY!
Summer classes are around the corner but I wont enroll since I shall have my on-the-job training. Deets about it shall be spilled soon.
Also, I will share what’s been going on with my life especially on the love part.

Poor Soles
After how many rounds of walking around the campus and having the different departments signed our classroom reservation form, me and Shiori finally accomplished it. I was exhausted. I felt sorry for my feet and regret wearing heels.
By the afternoon, I had my evaluation form printed. Then, it was work for me and Sgiori again. Collecting money and jotting down names of people in standing...

Summer Sunday Breeze
I’ve been dying to hit the beach and get sun kissed and today, my prayers have been answered. I had a little road trip to Jasaan with the Gamones family including Milrae and baby Miyelle.

As we go on
It was my sister’s graduation yesterday and I thought her drama of being so stressed out has ended, little did I know that she saved the best drama for last. She fainted in the midst of their Baccalaureate mass and what made it funny was that Mom and Dad had no idea that she was already in their school clinic. Tita had to go to their seats and informed them. I told her the T of DIET...
