Design Me
After doing the dresses and barongs/tuxes for the StarMagicBall2009, FrancisLibiran is doing a dress and barong for my cousin Ryan's wedding next month.
Puwede bang invited siya sa wedding? I swear, I'll fly home kung nandoon siya. HaHa! God, why oh why are all the badings in this world so gwapo? *SIGH.

Who Touches My Skin
If you ever want to see me with the most painful look on my face, stick me in the aisle where all the facial products are in Target or Wal-mart. Can the world be any more difficult for a woman?
I've always been blessed with great skin. All the zits I got in high school can be counted on two hands. But that all changed when I lived in the Philippines and roamed around S.E. Asia: sun spots and various skin blemishes that probably only Dr. VickiBelo can name have all appeared. And perhaps, my apathy for putting greasy stuff on my skin at night also contributed to the demise of my baby smooth skin (naks!).
So finally, I decided to finally lather up to the best of my abilities and ventured on down to my nearest facial care aisle...only to look like a deer caught in headlights. It would've been fine if it was just a matter of picking a brand, but no, that would've been too easy. For each brand, there were several lines of products. I was there holding four different night cremes for the same brand. To make matters worse, what if you need the benefits of each line? Like what if you need anti-aging, regenerating, VitaminE+Aloe+VitaminB, and for sensitive skin potion? What do you do? What the *bleep do you do?! Why couldn't they just make one night creme with all these benefits and call it a day...err, night?!
And now, I truly believe that the beauty industry is a multi-billion industry. Why do these lotions cost an arm and a leg?! Even Pen raised an eyebrow when I pondered about buying Shiseid0 products to appease my desire of using products meant for Asian skin. Total price tag for a day moisturizer, toner, and night creme? Roughly $150. Goodness, that's a year's worth of child sponsorship for W0rld Vision!
If someone wants to send me BeloEssentials products to try out, my mailbox is always open for such gifts. :)

Missed Opportunity
I finally got to watch Romantic Island last night. I had already known that the movie was shot in Boracay, but I was stunned to find out that the Manila scenes were partly at the PhilippinePlazaHotel! I swear, why is my timing always wrong for such things?! Why didn't they shoot the film when my days used to consist of eating breakfast there and bumming around until Ninang had to go home in the afternoon? Ugh! I could've met LeeSeonGyoon without even trying! Sadness talaga!

Yummy Yummy Veggie
Why is it that when I'm eating Korean food, eating/finishing my vegetables is an easy feat? I managed to eat all of my banchan, which consisted of mostly vegetables, today with my kalbi plate. Yum! I also had a new Korean discovery: roasted corn tea. Really good! Hmm, perhaps being a vegetarian is a possibility if ever I move to Korea. :)

Party Like It's '99
Last night was my 10-year high school reunion. The night felt like just another day in high school since everyone just sat in the same table with those who they hung out with back in the day. Afterwards, everyone moved to a local bar...where people sat again with their respective cliques. Indeed, some things never change!
While the night didn't seem like it was worth the $35 ticket, I quickly forgot the small dent in my unemployed wallet when I won a huge Starbucks gift basket that was worth a little under $100, complete with a French coffee press, Bearista Bear toy, coffee tumbler, lots of coffee bags, and my newfound love, Caramel Macchiato Biscottis. As how I would describe them in Class of '99 lingo, "Caramel Macchiato Biscottis are da bomb!"
The final verdict of the night was that most of the people who looked "off" back then, now looked better and those who always thought they were the "ish" back then now looked, umm, not all that (karma is a biatch!). And there are those who never changed. That would be me...okay, okay, plus 15 pounds. ;P
