We are Not the Same; He is a Martian.

Look, I am FULLY aware of the bad words, FULLY aware of the belittling comments about women, FULLY aware of the unwanted scenarios you would not want to imagine, BUT, I am also aware of the man's cleverness. You have to admit it, he is CLEVER, a clever "martian" that is. From my past blog post, I mentioned that I am a huge fan of his album Tha Carter III, but now I'm way past that.

He says he's "Ill, not sick..." Well, you know what, I agree.

 Now, make it rain...

Blow-up Coolness!

By now, many of my friends are aware of my fondness for Philippine Showbiz, Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu in particular. I've met fellow fans from the Philippines who've become good friends of mine via the internet. I also had a chance to meet up with some when I went to the Philippines for a vaca. I was asked to design a "layout" for a roving billboard for  "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo;" it's a telerserye starring Kim and Gerald. Here's my design:

Here's the RBB with Kim and Gerald themselves:

I just thought it was kind of cool... 

Kudos to those who put in their inputs on the design (Auie, Beng, Resty). Thanks for trusting my very amateur skills.

Christmas is Fast Approaching...

So comes the wish list. I post this because my family actually snoops around my blog to find out what I may want for occasions like Christmas... (as if I'm not vocal enough.)

MUG SHOTS

The other day, my mom scolded me for having too much mugs out from the cupboard. It's then that I realized that I maybe have a thing for mugs. So, then it's settled... I should label these, my collection...

Ahra purchased this M&M mug when she last went to Las Vegas.

I purchased this during my last birthday when I went to Disneyland

You probably recognized this one from my last post. Yup, from Team Manila... purchased from the PI.

In all honesty, I'm not even a Tigger fan. I bought this because I like it's size and color.

I bought this from Divisoria in PI. It has a LID and the APPLE adds a nice "personalized mug" feeling.

Yup, from Disneyland from my last birthday. I like how it's tall.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I have a few of them "give-away" mugs from cargo companies or bank companies. Well, here's my current favorite give-away mug. It's from Citibank and the gold and black makes it.

Fab PI Picks...

Upon unpacking, I realized I really didn't buy much in the Philippines, but here are a few of my favorite purchases:

Rafe and Team Manila collaborated in designing this shirt. It's for a good cause as well! This design was for men, but I like it. Leave me alone!

You just knew it! Of course I gotta have something Jose Rizal! I just recently realized that I'm a mug whore. I have proof. Watch out for that entry.

See, a mug freak indeed. The apple caught my attention and did I mention that it has a lid?!? A LID!!! Isn't that cleverawesome?

I purchased these shirts from Bench. This is its Pinoy Lab collection.

Check out the details! I like it!

Gotta have my magazines...

Pearl earrings! Cheap, but classic buys!

Pens are very crucial for my kind of job. Being a nurse, my pen has to be reliable and multi-colored. These were cheap and I would not wring my neck if one of my patients accidentally brings home one. Thank you, National Bookstore! I bought tons of these. The cashier probably thinks I'm weird.

The shirt is a design collaboration of Chuvaness and Bleach Catastrophe (Heather Miss Grey). I love it! and talk about comfort! You know I'm huge on that.

the small pocket in the front...

I wish I bought more shirts from this collection, but it was quite pricey. Though, I know I would wear it! Unfortunately, lack of time didn't allow me for a second trip to the store. *sad face

Trip Feat!

I'm quite the bum lately when it comes to blogging, I apologize. Though last month, a major feat has been accomplished by my best friends and I. We had planned to go to the Philippines together last year. It really is quite the hazy dream. After all, there's a lot of us, and it's not like it's another US city and it's definitely not a week long kind of vacation. The Philippines is far, and the trip would last for weeks; not to mention, a lot more money than the usual Vegas trip is needed. But you know what....

WE WENT LAST MONTH!

My friends are awesome! Who knew we will actually pull through?!? This was an amazing experience and I can't wait until we do it again. World, watch out!

Mellow Yellow

It's funny. I know so little about her, yet I feel so affected by her passing. One thing I know is that she played a huge role in gaining our democracy in the Philippines. I know it's corny, but that one thing I know about her is what makes me really feel the loss. The People Power Revolution happened in 1986. I was born 1984. For some reason, I can't seem to stop getting teary eyed as I watch the coverage of her wake. I guess it's because she seems to be such a nice lady; a president that didn't take advantage of her position. She loved the Filipinos and you can tell that she truly cares about our country. Her family sacrificed a lot for the Philippines. She brings Filipinos together and I always admire people who has the capability to do that. She has definitely proven that she has that character. Salamat, Cory. May you be a role model for our future leaders.
