Welcome! This site holds an online journal, a photo gallery, information about me which I'd love to share with everyone who is interested.

I fell in love with writing in High School. I love the process of story-telling, sharing bits of my life, and creating an experience with words and pictures. I absolutely love the fact that this site is MINE and I can control everything about it - from what it looks like, to what I say (bursts into a sinister laugh).

I write about my daily adventures - as a mother of a teenager, as a partner to my actor/director boy-friend, as a young woman enjoying the fullness of life, as a girly-girl who loves to shop, and a dancer who still dreams to perform with Madonna.

I like to write about my life, a few brazen thoughts here and there, and finding inspiration and happiness in the small simple pleasures of life. Ok...with the, extravagant and luxurious ones too!

My Different Facets



Um, yes, that would be me on the right, wearing a white school girl uniform. No, my friends and I did not just commit the greatest fashion faux pas in history. As much as we look like green burnt victims, that is what you call a frog suit which is used during chroma shoots. We did another commercial in which the peg was: we were dirty clothes dancing and jumping into a washing machine. Meaning, we were shot in front of a green chroma screen so our body parts are not seen. Just the clothes prancing around. We had to wait from 1pm to 7pm before we started shooting. It was boring as hell but it was in a way a better option coz it was hella hot inside the suit. And shooting in the afternoon wasn't such a bright idea. We started at about 7pm and ended by 10. What is it with us and catsuits these days? First, the yellow, then now green. hahaha!



Last night, we were at Government in Makati Ave., promoting our up and coming kick-ass concert, Funkadelic. We were outside selling our DVD's and tickets. AT 1:30pm we rendered a special dance number for everyone there. There wasn't any space on the dancefloor and did everything on the ledge. Thank God for my Orange ledge days because even in my 4-inch stilletos, dancing on a 4 x 2 cemented ledge easy as pie. My matte silver and fully sequined long back bolero got so much praises. Props to my friend Twinkle Zamora for her wonderful execution of my design, making me look like a stunning glitterati.

It's gonna be my birthday in a few hours. Gosh, I'm turning 24!....bwahahahahaha! sure! God I'm old. 30-freakin'-2 years old, baby! How do you make time stop? Where can I find the fountain of youth? Anyone? Anyone? Please?



This pic was taken during our company's photo shoot. Can still pass for a 24 year old, di ba? hahaha! Cge na, lie a bit. It's my birthday naman eh. Or you like me better in the green frog suit? Hahahaha!

Analyze This...

Just came home from work a few hours ago. We had our annual Avon show in Araneta Coliseum.

*click pic for larger view or just visit my kodak moments at the sidebar*


We ended around 7pm (though our call time was 8:30 AM!) so we decided to go have dinner at JT's Manukhan. It was my first real meal for the day! Hurray! After, about 5 spoonfuls of my chicken ass and garlic rice, my stomach started to hurt like hell. It hardened and it felt like everlasting hammering blows to my belly. Last time I felt that much pain was during childbirth! I think I ate too fast (and downing my food with beer wasn't such a good idea either).

I managed to finish my dinner, bid goodbye to everyone and immediately headed for home. The pain was so unbearable! When I got home I went straight to the throne. Apparently, it was just gas. (rolls eyes)

I turned on the TV and caught the start of "Bruce Almighty". For some bizarre reason, I started crying during that scene when Bruce gets to see his girlfriend's (Jennifer Aniston) prayers. It just sort of reminded me of myself, being that my prayers are mostly for my hana, my babygirl, my family and friends. Rarely do I pray for myself.

After that, I jumped to Hallmark channel and also caught the start of another tear-jerker that I haven't seen (but read the book already) yet..."5 People You Meet In Heaven". God, I knew I was setting myself up for at least 2 more hours of crying!

It also didn't help that my hana (in Bataan for work) and babygirl (spending the night at my grandma's) aren't home. Even the freakin' maid (day-off) isn't home. I'm so alone here in the house!

So I was asking myself, why did my stomach hurt so much? So I could come home early, catch these two movies, and completely turn my night into a big crying-fest? Is it a sign? Does it mean something? Am I suppose to learn something from it? Or is God just trippin' on me? :) Or am I just being so overly dramatic and analytical just coz I lack sleep and has just concluded a hellish week today?

Ok, I pick the latter.

WTF?!

Today my daughter logged on to her blog and there was a sick prick that left a message on her chat board calling her a "bitch", "asshole", and a "mother fucker" and said that her site is "bullshit". My daughter has no enemies and is probably the nicest kid I know. And she's only 11 years old! She left an answer on her chat board saying, "Y? I don't even know you?". She was so shocked! She's so naive, I swear.

What's the world coming to? As much as I want to protect her from all these bad things, I can't. I feel so helpless.

Dog (?) For Sale!

Got this in the mail today. Just wanted to share...


I need a favor !!
Our neighbor has a puppy he's giving away (FREE!).
It's a Dachshund, it's house broken,
and it's great with kids.

He's giving it away because his wife
says the dog 'stares' at her when she is undressing, and
that creeps her out. I think she's just weird !

If you're interested, or know someone who is, let me know.
Here's a picture of the dog (see below).




Bwahahahahaha! Gotcha! :)

Tweet Tweet!

Introducing... the latest addition to our family! We got them 2 days ago at a pet store in Megamall.

Bebe and Baba


...They are Normal Parakeets (baket? are there abnormal ones?). Bebe (pronounced as Beebee) is mine. Bebe because the color of her feathers are bebe(baby) blue. Kainizzz!!! The one on the right is Baba, which is my hana's. Baba because my hana can't possibly think of a name for his bird so he settled for the male version of my bird's name saying that it goes well with Bebe. Ok fine :)

Haru and Chiru


...these are Mikah's. They're called Pied Parakeets. But in the pet store sign it said, "DIED PARAKEETS". My though bubble was, "kaya pala mura kasi dead." Later on, we were infromed that this was just a case of bad handwriting. :) Anyway, Mikah named them Haru and Chiru. Reason being...I could only think of her obsession with Anime or anything Japanese for that matter!

Here's the thing though...we're not really sure which ones are female and which are male. We sort of forgot to ask the peeps at the pet store. We got them purely for their aesthetic qualities. Hahaha!

But I must say, their tweet-tweeting is such a refreshing sound. Kindda makes you feel like you're in the province or something.

P.S. You see the yellow birds up there? Scroll down to my entry before this one last and look at the second pic...Oh di ba? Bagay kami sa cage?! "I tot I thaw a puti cat!" :)
