Facing Faces
I got a relaxation facial today. I loved it! Who knew that having someone play with your face as if it were a bowl of cookie dough was so nice! LoL. It de-stressed me a bit also, which I badly needed. I vow to do this once every three months. This is one kikay thing that I can definitely handle...I don't know about my wallet's threshold though. HeHe.

Sayaw Kikay
I really think God made a mistake when he made me a girl. Hindi talaga kaya ng powers ko to be kikay. LoL.
The area in between my two eyebrows has been breaking out lately. Mind you, I barely got pimples when I was a teenager, so I'm blaming threading for my latest facial blemishes. I decided to find an alternative just for that area in between my brows: Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Bleach. Upon reading the instructions, I found out that one shouldn't put the solution near your eyes (duh, it's bleach!). So much for my being clever about a vanity issue.
Anyway, because I'm now a "professional," complete with business cards to hand out to people, I decided that maybe it's time to learn how to look "grown up" during those important business functions. So, today, I went to Gene Juarez to learn how to put make-up on. First of all, I couldn't believe that there are mothers out there who take their little 12-year-olds in these upscale salons for a haircut. It's the same disbelief I have when I see 16-year-olds buying underwear at Victoria's Secret. I just don't get it, folks. Anyway, first question of make-up artist: "So, are you in high school? College?" My reply: "Umm, I'm done with college and working full-time." Make-up artist: "You look so young!" Does society ever say, "You look so old!" to someone? Then why do I have to deal with such comments?! ::brushing a chip off my shoulder::
So for the next hour, she applied make-up on me. She introduced me to the different brushes, eyeshadows, lipsticks, lipliners, mascaras, blushes, stuff that are really foreign to me. I'm sure I had a confused expression on my face the entire time. HeHe. When she was all done, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought: women spend this much time in the morning to put this much crap on their face?! Although, I must say, having foundation is quite inviting for obvious reasons. Regardless, I have decided that make-up is really not for me. I'm too plain jane for all that. Instead, I vow to lose weight instead and drink lots of water in order to be beautiful naturally...starting September 1st. LoL. I need to fall in love with proteins first so give me a week to do the unthinkable. ;P
Afterwards, I mistakenly ventured into Wal-Mart. I should've known better than to go in there alone. What was I thinking?! Is it just me or do all of the ghetto people in the world congregate there? Such a scary place, I swear. Anyway, I have been very conscious of my feet lately due to capoeira so I wanted to give them a pedicure. How much money did I spend buying everything that I need? $35! That's just for pedicure stuff! What more if I had decided to buy make-up?!
So kids, the big lesson of the day is...I'm an amazona, hear me roar? LoL.

Bumming Around
From Aug. 23-31, I don't have work because union rules state that I get a "one week" break from being a temporary to a permanent employee. How did I spend my first day of freedom? Ate, slept, laid on the couch. How I missed it so!

Beso
Thank God, it's Friday. It has been a long week and I'm glad it's finished!
The week started out well, though. I don't think I ever had the chance to tell you about my capoeira instructor. He's hot. He looks pretty much like Dancing King, but manlier. HeHe. So for the past six weeks, I've been secretly drooling in class. Anyway, as if to give me something to remember him by, on Monday-the last class in my "trial series"-he greeted me in an authentic Brazilian fashion: a kiss on the cheek plus a hug. *SIGH. The stubble. The warmth. The rock solid body. The scent of fresh meat. HaHa. Ang saya-saya! LoL. And as if that greeting made all the difference, I was able to finally understand him when he talked in class. Amazing what lust can do to your senses. HeHe.

Sisterhood
She lives in FL. I live in WA.
She has sisters. I have brothers.
She is morena. I am Casper. (At least friendly!)
She prefers Hero. I prefer Joseph. (Bantay Bata, please!)
She drives a black car. I drive a white car.
She loves Vic. I love Ken. (Papa!)
She went public. I went private.
She is Korina. I am Kris. (Laos na tandem natin!)
She is pusong bato. I am pusong mamon.
Twin, Happy Twenty-Something Birthday! May you still have a rooftop over your head after Charley's recent visit. Grabe kang mag-birthday, bagyo ang handa! Anyway, the first time I saw your Kermit-themed layout back in the day, I knew you were special. Not because you were green, but because you had written about TFC (I was impressed with your public declaration of your jologs status! HaHa!). Since then, you've heard it all: Pinas 2002, college, past and present kalaguyos (from Apolo to Haciendero to Ken), my bodily functions (HaHa!), college grad depression, battle of the bulge, and of course, our favorite topic of them all, family drama. I just want to take the time to say thanks for listening (kahit ba palagi kang Dory about the details) and most especially, for being on the same wavelength as me. It's not an easy feat afterall. HaHa! So Sis, don't ever change, good luck sa career, God bless, and I will be here for you like Gary V.
Note: Happy Birthday also to my other twin, Mayie, na hindi na ako pinapansin dahil may lovelife na. Happy Birthday also to Papa JP (See you in 20 years! LoL. Hi Ate Mel!), Ben Affleck, and Cogie Domingo. LoL.
