LOTD || Time Alone

Early this morning I decided to go outside and have a time alone with myself for a change. The weather was hot as usual since I'm living at the tropics, so I decided to wear a floral sleeveless chiffon top which I bought from bangkok and black leggings from Zara. 

 LOTD

I went to UNIQLO at mall of asia branch to change an item because the one I got a week ago was a bit big for me. Then went to another mall to continue window shopping. 

I manage to spot a Maruko Chan item while doing 

some window shopping. I really loved watching chibi maruko chan 

back in the days because somehow it relieved me from stress.  

I also managed to buy this cute penny bank for about PHP 99 (2.41 USD)

**I just cant resist things that's related to strawberry and milk!**

At the end of the day I managed to buy only 2 items excluding food of course!

High waist shorts from UNIQLO and 

Strawberry Milk Penny Bank from Landmark 

After a tiring day went back home and found myself home alone and out of boredom I did some cam-whoring to kill time

*aaahh please forgive my vainess (-^.^-)*

So that it! Join me again next on my next post!

Study Time (勉強の時間)

Hi everyone! Finally made up my mind to continue learning Nihongo. Almost 2 years ago I decided to temporarily stop studying Nihongo so that I can concentrate on my chosen career. 

So today I went back to basic since I already forgotten most of what I have learned back then. My grammar, vocabs and kanjis gotten pretty rusty (XoX) !! Lucky for me I kept my books and worksheets intact. 

For starters I practiced writing the basic alphabets Katakana and Hiragana even though I still remember them. My  handwriting has gone from ok to bad! After practicing my writing skills I read a few paragraphs to see if I can still read at the same speed as before. Well I must say my reading skills was better that I expected it to be. I stopped there for today since I had an appointment schedule in the afternoon.

Hopefully If things go well I hope that I can finish reviewing Elem 1-2 before year 2013 starts! wish me luck! Really need it especially I'd be re-memorizing a lot of KANJIS *(T__T) huhuhu just thinking about it makes my head hurt* oh well for the love of Japanese Culture I must overcome this obstacle.

WTH!!

Yesterday I posted a fan pic of Takizawa Hideaki on my instragram, I did not really expect that someone would comment on the pic that i have uploaded so I was really surprised when some random person did. I thought at first it it was just some spam comment but when i viewed it. I was somehow enraged!

Here's the Picture of Takki that I posted

(got this from facebook)

Instragram Screen Cap

For a second there I thought she was also a fan of his, since she did liked the photo but her comment angered me, I mean WTF!! If you hate the guy then shut up! No need to comment! It was though she was looking for a fight, cause she commented on my post which if see my caption it clearly shows I'm a fan of Takki. 

I did not reply to her but instead blocked her and deleted her comment. I do not wish to spend my time replying and arguing with such person. I did check her account just to make sure she's not a spam user. Unfortunately she's a real deal bitch!  >_> ... oh well there's always a person like her who has nothing to do but to talk bad about others. So here I am posting this just to release my anger, and somehow it did ^_^ ...

Rurouni Kenshin

Yesterday I finally went to see Rurouni Kenshin live-action. I've been dying to see this movie in cinema since it has been announced that it would be shown on screen here at the Philippines.

Electronic Ticket

Years ago I was really hoping that they would make this into a live-action movie since it's one of my favorite childhood anime, and back then I even hoped that Takizawa Hideaki would portray the role of Kenshin since he reminds me of Kenshin while watching Yoshitsune and Satomi Hakkenden. I mean obviously there's a resemblance, they're both short and have the same body figure.So I thought he would fit the role perfectly.

(*o*) what a handsome kenshin he would have been

but of course time flies and now his a bit to old to play this role *haha* and it's time to give it to a younger generation. I was really happy that Takeru Sato also one of my favorite Japanese actor portrayed the role. He really did surprised me! He acted the role as if though he was really kenshin! He was perfectly fitted to play the role! *bravo* for that!

Takeru Sato as Himura Kenshin

So there I was watching the movie and was really surprised to see Aoi Yu as Megumi, I was not aware that she was also part of the cast so I was really surprised and happy *lol* I really adore her so much! My fangirl mode was totally ON last night. Though I did keep calm and watch the movie quietly.

I must say this is the BEST live action movie I've watched!! It did not ruin the manga nor the anime version at all! It exceeded my expectations! I did not expect to have a good laugh while watching this but indeed I did! It was really fun and worth watching and if given a chance I would pay to watch it again!

LOTD || Interior Designers Oath

Today is like no other, went to Manila Hotel for the Interior Designers Oath Taking and I’m proud to say that today I’m officially a Licensed Interior Designer! All my hard work, sacrifices and patience finally paid off. I missed a lot of things just to get here, like not being able to go to Big Bang and Maroon 5 Concert, not seeing Zac Efron, cancelling my Bangkok Trip and not having enough sleep for months which resulted to hair lost and acnes.

PRC License given at the Event 

We were required to wear a board room chic outfit for this glorious event so I ended up wearing my Polka-dotted dress with my Polka-dotted Blazer. It may sound that I went overboard with the polka dot pattern but I think it ended up looking nice and simple and just right for the occasion. I also wore earrings that matched my bag and dress, paired my whole look with silver flat shoes.

At the event itself I felt a bit of a lone wolf at first. Luckily I got to transfer table to where some schoolmates of mine who also passed the examination are seated, although they were from different batches and to which I don’t usually talk yo but still at least I got to seat with familiar people, which made me a bit more comfortable.

Where I'm Seated ( I must say this is the most neglected table

the coffee was served late, even my food was served 20 mins 

before the event was finished!!!)

Snack ... was served COLD!! ( X__X)

Good thing they had this freebie ......

 ..... Oh wait, it's not a freebie LoL, it's a Gift from mom and dad. I wonder what's inside??

mmmmmm...

A box of yummy chocolates!! ^__^ just what I needed, was so hungry during the whole event, the snack served was cold so I ended up not eating half of it.

The event lasted for 4 hrs, although it was a bit boring  but still it was an experience I won't ever forget! 

--END-- 

Eyelash Galore

For the past 2 days I decided to avoid going to the mall so I ended up spending those days at home sleeping, watching tv, eating, exercising and playing with my 2 adorable baby doggies **I'll introduce them next time** . But this early morning i receive an SMS from my dad who’s was at that time on his way to Vegas, reminding me to go to True Values Opening sale at Glorietta and get some things that he needs, so I was somehow forced to go the mall which I really didn't want to cause I was fighting the urge to spend.

While waiting for the opening sale I stopped by Daiso (Japan Home Center) just to kill time. Somehow I ended up buying 2 Fake eyelashes **gaaaaahh I easily gave up to temptation * and to think I just bought some 3days ago (x__x) …

Here’s the one I bought last Tuesday

So anyways after that went to True Value with my mom and bought the things dad needed and also ended up buying some items that wasn't on the list *lucky for me mom was the one who paid this time lol*

 I ended up buying things related to eyelashes *lol*

(Heated Eyelash Curlers, Falsies, Dual Purpose eyelash glue **it can also be used as an double eyelid glue**)

After Shopping me and mom had a mother daughter bonding at a Nail Spa.

Had my nails painted Pink (^,^)

So that's how I spent my day. Can't wait to give those eyelashes a try! Till next time!! ^__^

Bitter Sweet

Okay I don’t know whether I’m cursed of just plainly unlucky when it comes to long planned trips!!! This would be the 3^rd time that this had happened to me! And hopefully the last.

So here’s the story, earlier this year me and my friends decided to go to Bangkok for an after exam distresser. Everything was already planned, dates, hotel, tours, to buy list and etc. The only this that was uncertain was the date for the Oath Taking for the Newly Licensed Designers, which we expected to be held on the second week of November based on the previous Oath Taking held last year. Unexpectedly things did not go as planned; the exam result was released late, as a result the date of the oath was also moved!!! And yet there I was hoping for miracle that It won’t fall on the date of our flight.

3 days ago I received a letter from the PRC regarding the said event and “Sh** Why am I not surprise!!  The date of the oath will be held on the 25^th, my date of arrival back from bangkok was supposed to be on the 26^th. There was a sudden moment of silence and heart ache. I knew that I need to cancel my trip even though I want it badly I need to choose what is more important.  A once in a lifetime boring yet fulfilling experience VS a 3 days vacation filled with relaxation and girl bonding which I can go for some other time. The answer was obvious yet hard to accept.

I've been so excited for months and already imagining shopping, food tripping, going for a Thai massages and having a blast with 2 of my closest friend and yet suddenly after months of planning, there I was texting them that I will not be going to BKK with them!!! what a bummer!

Even now I’m still kinda pissed about the turn of events, though I have to look on the brighter side of Life, even though I’m not able to go to Bangkok with them this year at least I've got to attend a special event that I had been praying for this past 2 years. I guess we really can’t have it all. So here I am ending my bitter sweet post.

PS!!

Joey ^__^ if ever your reading this post don't for get to check out the falsies that posted on your wall ok?  ♥  **hugs** 

Barre3 Experience

Hello there! Haven’t been able to update lately because of fatigue caused by the new workout I tried.

About 2 weeks ago went to Barre3 studio to give it a shot because I heard it strengthens the muscles and bones and even help people like me with scoliosis to have a discipline with proper posture. So I decided to I try out their special offer for beginners which you will pay 1500PHP for 3classes which you should attend within 2weeks upon registration, an hour class cost 700PHP. So the beginners package is really a great deal. At first I did not expect it to be difficult since my body is a bit flexible plus I do stretching and cardio workout almost every day!

The first day caught me by surprise it was FAR DIFFERENT on what I am used to doing, compared to my daily cardio exercise which requires the use of power and strength. Barre3 requires you to use not only power and strength but also grace and stability!

The one hour workout was pretty intense especially for a beginner like me. I made a lot of mistake especially when it comes to maintaining proper posture while doing the said exercise. After my first day I felt a bit shaky but after resting for a bit and having a nice cold bath at home I somehow felt better so I decided to do my daily workout which usually runs for an hour and half.

The next day I could not even get up! My whole body was numb, I forced myself out of the bed! What’s even worse is that it was even painful for me to walk and most of all sit! The pain and numbness lasted for 3days **tsk tsk I shouldn’t have overdone my workout** because of that I did not even want to go back to barre3 but I was oblige to, because I already did pay for 2 more sessions and it was nonrefundable.

Day 2 was much better compared to day 1. I somehow felt it was much more easier to follow though I still had a lot of thing I need to improve on, but I think I’ve done pretty good compared to my first time. The day after day 2 was also better, there was a bit of body aches but not as bad as before. Maybe because I did not overdid the workout as I did before.

So I rested for a day before coming back this morning for my 3^rd and final day of the promo. The instructor for today had taught us a much more intense workout compared to day 1 and 2. It was very tiring and extreme but was also FUN at the same time, I started to enjoy barre3 classes and getting used to all the shakes and strains it causes to my body.

After the 3days trial of barre3 I found myself being more aware of my posture and hsving an increase in stamina. I highly recommend this workout for those who aims to have a leaner and stronger body, and also those who wish to strengthen their bones. I plan to continue barre3 regularly and make it a part of my daily routine!

Rebound alert O__O

Rebound Alert!!!

Lately I've been gaining weight, somehow I just lost control and went back with my old routine which is sleep, watch, eat.

Today was one of those lazy days where I spent the whole day acting like a pig, took short naps, eat and watch old movies all afternoon then luckily I came to my senses and did an hour of workout before it got totally dark. I can't even imagine I gained  10 lbs this past 3 months which is quite alarming for a person like me who experience being overweight for quite some time.

This situation reminds me of a Japanese Drama that I had watched entitled "Rebound!" A former fatty who lost weight and became and employee of a fashion magazine but due to some circumstances she suddenly found herself rebounding and becoming fat again.

I can totally relate to this drama especially her love for pastries! Sweets are really hard to resist XoX!!! Especially with a sweet tooth like mine. But I made up my mind to start my 2 weeks diet plan. Will go back for the mean time with My oatmeal diet together with daily workout plus my own version of the "3S" diet which stands for  NO Sweets, Snacks, Soda (which is quite easy because i gave up on soda for almost 2 years now).

A week ago I was Playing with the Fat Booth and just now I realize that maybe it was already a warning for me to stop over eating *lol*

Some might think I'm over reacting or to being too obsess with how I look but that's now the case I just don't want to go back to how I was. For I not to be judge I decided to put a photo of me before and after. I'm not ashamed of this pic in fact I'm proud that I did something good for myself  ^_^...

here you go: *hides*

 

 *phew* somehow that took a lot courage to share this pic *lol*

Ok wish me luck will start my 2 weeks goal to lose 8-10 lbs max. on Sunday*hahaha* ~
