the art of living.
(got this from dd's blog)

*appreciate the smallest things
*be gracious in both victory and defeat
*you need butterflies in your heart, not your stomach
*failure is not an option, because ot doesn't exist
*when it comes to falling in love: no chase, no trying too hard, no obsession, just let it be
*a bestfriend forgives foibles, overlooks shortcomings, and accepts, even cherishes idiosyncrasies
*keep your heart sweet
*let it flow, there's nothing wrong with tears
*choose to be happy, you have the power
*clean up your act, edit your life. keep what is useful, important, and beautiful
*learn to be alone. it helps you grow
*believe in magic, you walk in it


life is beautiful if you let it be beautiful. beauty shouldn't just be an opinion, it's a state of mind. one rule i live by: always think you're beautiful. if you think of yourself as anything less than that, then how could other people see your beauty? find those things that make you beautiful, both inside and out, and enhance it. i read this line from my starbucks planner (haha bragging) awhile ago: when you find your favorite, your favorite becomes you.

SWEET HOLIDAYS EVERYONE. ;)

here we go

christmas break once again! cheers to the happy holidays we all should be experiencing!
my christmas jitters are all gone. im loving the season already.

- got the 'glow' bloom cream that ive long been wanting, thanks to chris rabonza! such a sweetie
- sab gave me a nice top. wore it already honey.
- thea and moya's party drew's. it was all fun before someone stole her nice phone. sayang.
- joseph's party was nice. everybody was there. oh, and that famous trupo of his was present too. tss.
- my ateneo barkada party was a blast. though only three of us actually followed the 'wear white top' rule, we all had a great time. loved the food. i ate so much i had to vommit. missed my bitches!
- quattro with eli, jp, sab, and moch. surprisingly, a lot of people we knew were there! gail and pio. reji and the gang. weird night. we stayed there til the waiters were actually cleaning up already.
- one bad thing though, im missing aidz. he went to hongkong with his family. bummer. missing him already (even though he was gone for at least 5 hours pa lang)
- tonette, my true blue new yorker cousin, will be spending christmas here with us. gotta prepare for that. ;)

christmas jitters

its getting colder, im getting sicker.

yup, christmas is slowly taking over my entire system, telling me its THE time for gift giving. i hate it. im totally broke. i barely have enough money for gifts. making my christmas list is now harder, and must i add, more challenging. when you have little money for others, you'll be forced to be a little bit wiser and a lot more kuripot than usual. it's either you give only pricey gifts to people really close to you, or you go shopping for somewhat non-sense gifts for everybody.

my list is definitely shorter this year. :( reality bites. i used to give gifts to everyone i love. its just saddening whenever you downgrade your anything. i hate that my christmas list is the one i have to downgrade this year. it's always fun to give gifts, and for someone who loves receiving knick knacks, i feel somewhat obliged to repay everyone the little joys they give me.

i know, i know. the world is not that materialistic and if morrie (of tuesdays with morrie) was to talk to me right now, he'd say that material things are for-the-meantime kind of happiness only. yada-yada. all i want is for everybody to receive the stuff they really want. im really bummed that i can't give everyone that. sigh.

i have one hand in my pocket, and the other one is giving a peace sign.

jologs

fine. guilty as charged. watched the big night of pinoy big brother. hated wency cordero (whatever his name is) and willie revillame. such posers. loved marielle's dresses though.

anyway, since i was in the jologs mood once again, i tried watching master showman. yah. the famous walang tulugan. saw hero and alas, i was once again amazed by his charm. this is what i get for being at home on a RAINY saturday night.

here's my list of jologs favorites:
- i have a crush on hero angeles. shut up.
- i love tagalog movies. as a matter of fact, i watch a lot of filipino stuff. i just never went ballistic over telenovelas. im not really fond of them. well, except when F4 was the talk of the town. ha! went crazy over that show. who would have thought asianovelas would actually click.
- i love showbiz talks.
- i religiously watch sop-asap every sunday.
- id rather take the risk of shopping in 168mall or tutuban just to get the cheapest, yet still as nice as the expensive clothes ever.
- i love alessandra de rossi. (did i spell her name correctly?)
- i get starstruck whenever i see showbiz people.
i know there are lots more, but im too lazy to even think.

i need a break.

3 ways to be happy

1. count your blessings
2. stay away from the people who hurt you
3. shit, i forgot. gi help!

emails

we were never really the email sending kind of couples. this message was different though. mushy, yes. its the effort from him that i'm more happy about.

14 things i'll do for my bubba
