i'm a girl

this debutant thing made the whole family grrazy..! my mom just bought a "brown" skirt with some shining-shimmering splendid inside. my sister (this was a sunday incident) spent 2000 pesos for clothes (she bought me a sailor uniform), shoes, skirts and caps for us. my other sister wore a "romantic sweater" (you know the one like a turtle neck with alot of ruffles) and heels on a hot lazy sunday. my dad's been so busy with the songs thing. i took my mom's make-up kit and started polishing my face. make-up-over-make-up-over-make-up and i was scary. i was looking for the right mix of make-up so after one mixture, i wash my face with a cleanser and mix another mixture. but, believe it or not, i look good on make-up. but i'm a bad make-up artist. firstly, my face looked brutally red. secondly, my face looked brutally white. and then lastly, i don't have a face anymore.

here are my faces:

as show-off as it may get, i got the good set of teeth. i snagged a lip gloss and a lip shimmer from my mom (and it tasted orange) and i used it today. here's my lip:

the make-up kit came from my mom's friend who's leaving the country soon. she's a great friend to my mom and it's very great of her to give us the kit. haha. here are the make-up spoils:

this is an artistic snapshot of our collection of nailpolishes. we have more if you think that shouldn't be called a collection. i just made a nice shot to recreate my skill. (what?)

A video of my "make0ver interview" is coming up. just waiting for the upload to process.

the weekenders

Last Friday was my other sister's Prom night and my sister came home from Quezon ave. It was fun because she's home and we always wanted to bond during weekends. She had a surprise. It was Tess' (from Roswell) armadillo dance and we laughed. We had hot chocolate the one Carolyne gave from Australia. We sprinkled it with chocolate too. Then we watched other videos from her iBook such as The Weekenders, Veronica Mars, Roswell, other interviews and music videos. I slept early. bummer.

The next day, i watched Roswell early in the morning. Then we do the laundry and other chores. After than we sing songs and recorded it with my phone and uploaded it on the iBook. Then we watched the "our concert" at around 8.00 and then watched The Weekenders and laughed. Then, we recorded ourselves fooling around. At around 1.00, we decided to call for pizza and my parents were asleep already. But, unfortunately, the pizza huts are already closed. Around 3.00, our tummies began to grumble that we decided to call for Chinese food. We ordered miki, siomai, siopao, shangai and hot chocolate. I even took a video of it.





After that, we watched more The Weekenders and sadly i was the first one to crawl to bed. It was Sunday after Saturday and we went to church. We wore something conventional. I wore suspenders, top, pants and flats, my sister wore an army skirt, top and shoes and my other sister wore a Korean-inspired shirt, pants and flats and it was grool. Then we ate at Pancake House after conversation-over-conversation with our relatives. Here's a video of the Pancake House brunch.





After that we went flea market shopping. It was fun dressing up in weird clothes, shoes, hats and skirts. My sister payed for all which made her broke. It cost 1,950 pesos all in all and she's officially broke. Then we went meat marketing and bought ice cream and we had a little "dress-up" with the parents and they were in awe. It was something to use for our friend's debutant party. We were asked to sing too so we practiced with our cousins songs like Birthday Song by Don McLean and One Friend by Dan Seals.

Here's a pair of Japanese shoes from my shopping spoils yesterday:



it's like for tap dancing. (Sorry for the picture. Sad to say, i did not edit the options of my camera..)


Everything's back to normal when our cousin left. The day ended too.

Australia to Philippines - Complete!

oh my God! oh my God! oh my God! (i sounded like Mila Kunis for a second and a half). I just received Carolyne Bird's parcel from South Australia. I enjoyed it much that i started snapping with my camera phone - unartistically.

Unartistically how? Well, i'm a bit shy when it comes to taking snapshots of things because it would make me look like an ignorant-savvy-doofus. So i took pictures directly from the bag she sent me.

Here are my spoils:






So, if everybody's interested in giving me a gift, refer to my address here.







a closer look.





A handmade bag from C. Bird is very touching! It's made of wool and it's one of the first batch of bags she'd made (and i'm lucky to have 'em).






Original Timtams.







Caramello Koala.






Here's a picture of Adelaide, the place where Carolyne grew up. It's a postcard.





This is the writing on the back of the card. It was a very touching message. Me likey! she's got a good handwriting too.

Australian Pen Carolyne included in her parcel.

Mandura Tea. I don't really drink but i'll try the first time!

Nestle Double Blend Hot Chocolate. There's also an unqoutable quote saying, "Forget Love, i will fall for chocolate."

Le Chocolat Sprinkles. An Australian add-on to coffee.

Twinings Strawberry and Mango Fusion Tea. I'm ready and excited to try these out.

Fruchocs. Small fruits covered in milk chocolate. Yum!

and this is the "directly-snapped-from-the-bag-Carolyne-gave" picture of some other things she sent such as an Australian pen, a postcard, FruChocs, Hot Chocolate, Chocolate sprinkles, Twinings tea, et al.

This is a picture of the complete stuff Carolyne sent. I enjoyed it so much (especially the Timtam) and me and my mother and other sister are fighting over the handmade felt bag.





I enjoyed it so much Carolyne. It's very nice of you and i'm very pleased. If you are keen on swapping with Carolyne, click here. And if you're keen in swapping with me... nah. just e-mail me.

P.S. I'm gonna take a good snapshot of what i received from Carolyne maybe tomorrow. By then, i could take a video of how happy i am!! haha.

spread the music

you know how much i like music right? and that it runs in the family? and that it's great that the whole family have the exact interests when it comes to music? if not refer to this, watch and listen carefully.

I videoed our singing. it was too appropriate to post in my blog since recording agents are very eloquent with the Internet now. here's a little background for recording agents and other people who are interested, we don't do rock neither pop. unless my other sister considered the offer then i'm in. oh, and don't try to turn me into a Jojo-malibu barbie because she's a balloon.



this occured yesterday. the song was entitled "Insomnia" by Cynthia Alexander, my sister was doing the guitar stuff, i was taking the shot and i made sure our faces would not be exposed in this "video" not because we're trying to make our identities a mystery from the recording agents but because we don't wanna be humiliated when we we're too much pitchy or not pitchy at all. it's the same difference.



i made this film video today while watching Punky Valentine a.k.a Tino Tonitini do his funniest. I don't know how to upload music that's why i made a collage-picture video thingy out of it. the song's the background music (well, duh).

Happy Valentines everyone!
