HARLEY DAVIDSON

After what seemed like FOREVER, the cute poodle with the tacky puppydog-eyes in the window is finally ours to keep. The long months of forcing and begging our parents to get us a new pet have finally paid off and boy, was it tiring! I get to pick the name because a new pet is still part of my birthday gift (along with the bag and hopefully, another bag. HA!). I don't know what's gotten into me BUT when my mom asked me which I prioritize the most, I said A PUPPY over a new phone. We all couldn't wait to leave Greenbelt awhile to go to Tiendesitas. After visiting the store of bags of all bags, I must say, I am goal-oriented now. I've turned over a new leaf. I will save to get my hands on a Damier and a Sprouse in pink. My brother Franco thinks of the bags as BURN, his term of RIP-OFF. Although the Apricot-colored poodle, Harley is adorable, the expenses that go along with the puppy with the tacky puppy-dog eyes isn't what I expected. Nutripet costs P450, for example.

Here are some of the photos we took earlier. The rest are in my Multiply.


Welcome home, Harley!


A photo of me forcing Harley to smile for the camera.


Super Harley according to Tepang.


Thanks, Ma and Pop!


Harley's forelegs go this way whenever he's carried.


Zia and I are very happy.


Since Pop is in Quezon, we just showed Harley to him via webcam. He thinks Harley is cute. This is the conversation we had earlier tonight. Of course, Harley the wonder dog, is the topic.

Isn't Harley the cutest poodle?

Cheerios, Papitos!

P.S.
In need of a Doggie101.

NEVER FORGET

My Kuya is supposed to be 24 years and living.

It's been a long while since I've written entries that are, um, blog-worthy--you know, not those that start "I woke up at noon and ate lunch", "I am mad at...", and the like. And, yes, you've guessed it... it ends with "Bye!". :| I think I'm just being too mean, we all have different writing styles. I can tell if you got it elsewhere. I am watching you.

But since it is Mother's Day and my brother's birthday, I will excuse myself from blogging and for just posting photos. Forgive me. Again.


I love you. Thanks for THE BAG. I will save up to buy my own, I will buy YOU soon.




This is a photo of Pop and Ahya D.A. I miss my brother terribly.

I'll be home tomorrow!

Cheerios, Chicas!

WOOHOO

It's been a week since I've last updated and couldn't think of a better alibi than "my dog ate my laptop". Anyway, to compensate for the missed happenings, I will post photos--unwatermarked, because I am really lazy. Also, thanks for your comments and surprisingly, e-mails, for saying good things about my blog. I got cool comments both from your e-mails and private messages in Multiply and Facebook (and no, I am not active in Friendster--I just open it to check my best friend's account). Thank you for thinking of my writing as "funny" and "interesting" (is it, really?). Anyhow, I just had to say the things above to let you know that I've read your mails and messages but opt not to respond just because... BUT I really and truly appreciate it. :)


This was taken at Bugsy's last Friday--Labor Day. Earlier that day, I met up with Jae and Toni (who I spent 12 hours with and that includes walking the streets of Ortigas Center, which is really fun btw)


Later that same night, me, my sister Zia, and my cousin Nikole made the most hilarious 25-second video in the entire world.



These photos were taken the day after in my Photobooth. Mama and I went to a wedding and had a date at Eastwood later. I love my ultra red lipstick! Although wearing it on a regular basis would be kind of weird, I think I will do that because it is beyond amazing, it makes my teeth whiter, much less like a smoker.


The other day, Mama, Zia, and I went to Starbucks and this is what I ordered--Chicken and Turkey Tuscan Sandwich. Heaven, I am craving for one since the moment I left Starbucks. I went to Starbucks, Pearl to have coffee with Diane yesterday only to find out that there are none left!



After the encounter with the best sandwich that set foot on planet Earth, I had my mom and sister drop me off at Home Depot to meet up with Toni and Jay. Buffalo Wings and Things was the best... as well as...


The cover of Superhuman by Toni and LJ Fajardo!


While my friends were downing Vodka and Wine. I was enjoying my Flamingo Drink! :)

That is it for now. Yet another shallow post by me but that is all I've got. I tried, to say the least.

Cheerios!

P.S.
Thanks, Mama for the best birthday gift ever. I love the smell of leather. What do you think of the latest Gossip Girl episode?

THE GOOD FINDS

Who would ever imagine that aside from the cold weather, the beautiful flowers, and pink-maned horses, Baguio still has more in store for me? As requested by the then-birthday girl, my mom had to cater to my interests (not that she doesn't), especially on MY day, where I was treated like a queen. My parents would never approve of shopping in an Ukay-ukay. Never. But again, it was MY day and I was THE QUEEN. I am an avid fan of leather and vintage clothing. I think it is the one thing that will never go out fashion. Now, I am fond of briefcases and could not find a decent one here in Manila as I like them a little bit on the worn-out side. Solution: Ukay, we go! It was sweet of Pop and Ma to accompany me. I guess it was a win-win situation--shop til I drop with everything ON SALE. According to Pop, "mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko".


I got my eyes on this the moment I saw this hanging. OMG, talk about having the vintage-feel. Do you see the Mickey Mouse Detail?


Lucky me, I found this green, leather purse. I was expecting to get black and brown ones but this is just heaven! It was like hitting the jackpot! It even offers a bonus, a checkbook divider, which completes my corporate look. I don't think this purse was even used, the shoulder strap was wrapped in plastic.


Like the green purse above, this was 100% untouched. Every piece of leather was still intact and also, the strap was wrapped in plastic. I love love love the gold button detail. It is beyond beautiful when you see it up close.

I found these necklaces at home. I was watching many of my favorite tv series and reading fashion blogs a lot lately and could not tell whether long or short necklaces would be in this summer. But personally, I would go for the shorter ones that fall just right above my non-existent bazoomas. Let's make this easier and less hurtful, "falls just below my collar bone".


I am most excited to wear the one at the right side. It was given to me by my grandma, Ama Perly. Thank God, I will have a good use for it with less revolt.

I am more than sorry for posting this, I just wanted to share my trip to Garbage Heaven! I would still appreciate your comments. Even the most nasty ones are more than welcome. HA! Thanks!

Cheerios, Chicas!

BIRTHDAY UPDATE

My 21st birthday was celebrated in Baguio. The birthday salubong in the car, to be more specific. Pop and Ma were waiting for 12 midnight and sang the birthday song the moment the clock struck 12. They've been doing that for 21 years. Our house looks so different as compared to the house I set foot on with Kong-kong and my cousins almost 13 years back. I will post photos of the house soon!

Allow me to deconstruct the trip through these photos.


This was taken at the Grotto. It is a tradition that we visit the Grotto first, no matter what happens--meaning RAIN or shine.I wished for nothing but the happiness of Ahya D.A.


My birthday cake. It's only Pop, Franco, and my cousins who call me "Ish" in the family. Mama is trying to get the hang of it.


My brother Franco and I outside the house. It was so cold! Matching cardigans, of course!


Mama and I.


Pop and I. I love this photo! He was super funny. He made my simple birthday dinner similar to that of a 7-year old's. No, it did not include musical chairs.




This one is just a random photo taken the next day at Minesview. I love the pusit!


Taken at, what I call, the Starbucks corner at home. There's a big ass, green umbrella outside. Again, it was too cold--I had to wear a jacket over my sweatshirt!

Just an update. I will be uploading more photos and talk more about Baguio--the misadventures included.

Cheerios!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, ANNA PATRIZIA LOZADA LIM!

HA HA HA! I'm 21! I will update later! Thank you for the birthday greetings!

THE HILLS

I had fun earlier when Toni, Jay (Toni's cousin), and Sandy (Jay's friend) went up to the hills. "I love you, Antipoloeeee", as Toni would put it by screaming at the top of her lungs while enjoying the fresh air of Antipolo. I still couldn't believe that Coors beer would amount to P299 a bucket and a pack of Marlboros, an astounding amount of P75. I will not state which restaurant because no one would ever want to get a bad review. But in total, we all had fun. Dinner at the Fajardos' was also awesome. I am craving for a torta at this very moment. After the Coors incident, we all went to Tapsilogan and Bulalohan ni Vivien. Although I am not sure of the word sequence of the food chain, the food was also great, not to mention affordable as well!


Took photos of Toni's house, which is so fly.


Her family is wonderful. We talked about Mauban, Quezon and Toni's Cheerleading mishap over dinner. :)


Toni and I overlooking the wonderful sight.


This photo is very comical. I LOVE IT. Sorry, I ruined the photo!


I just had to have a photo of the Ralph Lauren polo (which is by the way, older than I am). Awhile ago, Mama confessed that she got it on SALE. Akala ko panaman, sosyal at mayaman kami. Denims are in AGAIN! Yay!


While most of my chicas cannot leave the house without their earrings, I, on the other hand, cannot leave without bracelets and rings. See my Pol.Eco. strings?

I love Toni! I trust her with anything! I am glad that we are close more than ever. :) I am ready for our trip to Quezon. Who wants to come with?

Tomorrow, I will be 21 years old. I will spend my birthday in Baguio with the family. No internet at home, I am hoping that Pop's Smart cable would work. This would mean that I would not be able to make it to the Friday GNO with the rest later tonight.

Cheerios, Papitos!

P.S.
I am tired of this watermarking but Toni reminded me of the time when our group photo in Virgin Beach, Batangas was stolen and posted on a site. I think they stole it in some "blog". I just didn't say that it might have been me who's the source. So, watermark it is then. I may grow tired of it soon but for the meantime, ruined photos are what will be seen in my future entries.

LOWRIDER

I never really planned on getting one but ever since Franco bought his highlighter-green Skullcandy Lowrider, I got jealous and asked Mama to buy me one. All of the people working in iStudio, Shangri-La were very friendly and thanks to their enthusiasm, I finally bought the idea that the Red/Orange/Black Lowrider fits me perfectly. The ones that I had in mind were not available. Nevertheless, I AM HAPPY WITH MY RED/ORANGE/BLACK Lowrider! It even has a fur detail on it. Thanks, Mom for the pre-birthday gift! It also matches my sheets!











I shall name mine _________.

Cheerios!

8888

I caught my counter at 8888! This was taken awhile ago (or yesterday because it's early in the morning, 2:17am) right before I left for church with my family. According to my friend, Agnes, 8888 is a lucky combo--she is an 8888 herself! I miss you! I miss OC!



Cheerios! And keep the kind comments coming! :)

ODK

Long live the girls, I say. Just when we thought that we are finally going to be complete at Shai's Housewarming Party... Balloons pop and nails screeching on board, Karryl and Kandee were missing. And yes, Con made it--alive and kicking. It is quite true that things never change, ergo people missing a crazy night with Mojos, Asti, and Red Horse. Let us not forget the stack of cigarettes that have butts that could fill in a manhole and of course, friends that tend to snort due to excessive laughter. Guilty as charged.

Shai's house is beyond amazing. OMG, I mean, ODK! I'd say it can be featured in UZ and Kat's future show, "Ang Bahay ni Mama". I'm just kidding. Her room can actually pass for a set of Project Runway, but the best part is when you enter her room. Ha ha ha! We are proud of you because according to Eleu, out of all of us, it is you who has direction. I, on the other hand, do not even know what is happening to my life TOMORROW. I mean, all I care about for tomorrow is lunch. Ha ha. But SRSLY.

Here are some photos which (thankfully) I transferred. The videos are long gone. Ask me another time about this tragic story, I cannot talk about it now because I am as bummed as a hungry lion. The Hills spinoff is not for us at the moment.


This is from my Photobooth. I had to upload this just so I could remember the elevator disaster we had before going to Shai's.


Shai and Karla


Kat and I turning Korean (or Japanese).


Oh, yes. Con is alive and kicking!


Painting by Shai. Gorgeous! I wish I could draw like her. I am trying. I just have to dance my way through drawing stick figures.


Eleu and Jam


Eleu, please spare me. Don't laugh. Ha!


Laverne and I


People are MIA. :(

All's well. I love you, guys. To bits and pieces.

Cheerios, Chicas!

P.S.
Please do excuse the crappy resolution of the photos, I had to resize them so that I could watermark them properly.

THE 5AM CALL

So, I haven't been in my best "sleeping" behavior. Yaya claims that I have turned day into night and vice versa. True enough, I felt the need to post another one of my random entry at 4:57 in the morning. I wouldn't be this courageous if it weren't for the lack of work (not that I am finished with my reading and advanced research) and the sheer boredom I am dealing with at this hour. A friend suggested that I watermark my photos because the internet is such a horrid environment, that anything and I mean anything can be stolen and re-posted with, say, an airport on my face. It happened to me in highschool, in my computer class, I remember. PLUS there are haters, who have nothing better to do than loiter... Well, let's not talk about that. I had a dream this afternoon--yes, because I sleep during the day, excuse the repetition, I just want to make myself clear and claim that I am now a living vampire--that my friend sent photos of me with my head cropped off and pasted on Johnny Depp's body. It is ridiculously funny. I have yet to buy an iWatermark software if I find the time and if I don't change my mind--it ruins the photo. So, no nalang?

This is my sister with my cropped shorts and my denim Converse. Isn't she dear?


OMG. I was catching up The Hills Season 4. I am done with it and am now on track for Season 5's Episode 4. Apparently, it is the last season. I am quite sad as I have been a fan of Lauren Conrad ever since Laguna Beach.

The sun is up and I may as well hit the sack.

Adios, Papitos! (This is getting old).

SEA OF SHOES

She is genius! If there was someone whose closet I wanna raid, it's gonna be Jane Aldridge's. I am a big fan of her blog.

MY INTERNSHIP--OR THE LACK THEREOF

I am in my balcony as a write this.

I was on a roll trying to do research, as been assigned to Jewel and I by our boss, who is now in Spain having coffee. I was looking for a decent notebook where I could scribble in things—you know, to get that “correspondent”, responsible employer feel. So, I got a hold of a notebook, which I used almost two years ago. I was tearing up the leaves that had notes on them already. I came across quotes I took down by my professors. “You know it’s like you wanna say something but you can’t—like you’re constipated?” and “Imagine Scoobydoo versus the people of the RP”. I just had to go back and laugh until I saw—what hit me in the most unusual way—the mushiness that only a cheese curl could bear. The writings were… fresh. I couldn’t help but rewind the moments. HA HA HA HA HA. STOP IT.

As a result, I had downed 3 glasses of Iced tea, smoked—what it seemed to me—half a pack of silent killers, and dirtied my ever-so clean laptop. Clooney, is what I call my Mac. I was singing to VersaEmerge’s Lover’s Lie. Way to cool a song.

Another update for my Pol.Eco. blockmates: While they are busy with their work, trying to battle the urge to go back into their beds, going through the hassle of pondering on a corporate look for everyday’s trip to the office, conquering the traffic in the P.I. while simultaneously trying their best not to freak out and curse, and wasting their money on unhealthy, overpriced food at their work’s cafeteria, I AM SPENDING MY INTERNSHIP AT HOME. Not fun for me. I would rather work my ass off and go to the office every fucking day and spend every fucking hour being bullied by my superiors. Maybe next week, I will get a taste of the corporate world. So, how is yours?

Cheerios, Chicas!
