Rushing and racing and running in circles
Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding chaotic
Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Pass me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
I need you to slow me down
Slow me down
Slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe
Somebody please
Slow me down

Being the superstitious person, I am sooo excited to start the Year of the Ox because of the promising horoscope this year. My sign, The Dragon has always been lucky. A lot of people are envious of Dragons because if you know about Chinese history, Dragons have always been revered and it's also the sign of the Emperor. Basta I just can't believe the lucky 8 star (for luck and prosperity) is in my sign this year! Anyhow, Chinese New Year was special this year. It's great Gem and the family were there and we had this yummy feast of my favorite Spring Deer Peking Duck, Pancit, Lechon Kawali, Steamed Lapu Lapu and Fish Soup. Chinese New Year is always festive in our house, and has been one of my favorite holidays because of the sumptuous food and the AMPAOS!! I wish they would make our New Year an official holiday :(

Gem and I celebrated our 2^nd Anniversary last Tuesday. I can’t believe we’ve known each other for 3 years already and have been official for two. I was only 17 when we meet each other and he always tells me he still sees me as a 17 year old girl! Anyway, this day was really really special to us. We had dessert at Cold Rock, early dinner at Myron’s Place (Best place for Wagyu Steak with Foie Gras….mmmmm) and drinks and dessert at Terrace at 5^th. (Order the Casa Lapostolle Merlot, I finally found a place that serves this award winning wine!) Thanks Gem for making me feel uber special that night :) And I can't wait for our next frill free date! aysee sisig + corn....

Gem, Tita Denise and Arthur :)


I want all that Peking Duck for myself!!!


Complete :)


Arthur's Birthday Morning! Gem and Denise's gifts :)


Happy 2nd Birthday! at the Nestle Creamery

Choco Banana Split with Praline.... mmmmm

Cute! :D You have good taste!


Heavenly! Sachi Nama Chocolates...

Travel plans this year was originally Beijing on September. However, due to the economic crisis surrounding all of us, Gem and I have decided to forgo Beijing and just go to Boracay this April.(April 2-5)  It's not such a "big sacrifice" you might think, since going to Boracay is still expensive, but I believe taking a time out and having a vacation is very much important in our lives. So there! I think being a recessionista is fantastic, considering how ridiculous it is to have "expensive blowouts" (as Celine Lopez said in her article) and outfit repeating has been a a big no-no for fashionistas even if it was a gorgeous Betsey Johnson dress, thanks to Facebook's ability to enable 500 of your friends to see your outfit. It is a nice break from all the endless shopping and quests for frocks to wear. Yehey! Finally, outfit repeating isn't so de clase! By the way, I love love love Stylista.. I love it so much it has inspired me to take Styling lessons at SoFa (School of Fashion and Arts) next year. It's always been something I wanted to do but I never really had the time to. And I even thought of it as a career path. (Being Preview Fashion Editor has always been my dream) Seeing Dona Cuna-Pita in Tiendesitas leaves me starstruck! I always felt that I had to choose between Med and Fashion. I chose the former since it had more promise of stability and a comfortable life. But somehow watching Stylista and watching Johanna (a military analyst and Chinese Linguist) being so good at all the tasks makes me realize I CAN DO BOTH. I can be both. Life is too short to lead just one life. If you're strong enough, you can straddle on both roads.
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” -Michaelangelo

I had dinner with Gem at NYPD last Friday... Sumptious pizza!(Blue Cheese! and also Buffalo Wings!) Hay, I just love frill free dinners and being a recessionista!

This weekend was the perfect way to start 2009. I live for the weekends. I rarely go out during the weekdays, because it's a personal choice to save all that time for studying and go all out during the weekends. Despite the crappy service in New Orleans, BHS, Double dating with Char and Gian has been one of the best! Gian and Gem comes up with the ULTIMATE HIRITS ranging from our planned Subic Safari where Gem said we should take pictures with the lion imitatingly feeding the lion or Gian with his bloody injuries during wakeboarding. Makes me cringe tuloy about our upcoming CamSur trip for the Holy Week! Double Dating is sooppeer fun, sometimes we find a hard time going out with single people either because they can't relate or single activities don't really apply to us anymore i.e flirting in bars, meeting up with guys..anything of that nature. But I still make it a point to catch up with my other friends despite the activity difference.
I love Bonifacio High Street! It's clean, the guards are really helpful, they have good shops, it's not too crowded... well it's getting kind of already with really big families strolling around the place. Ribs and Calamari at New Orleans was great! Although they had the suckiest service. I expected them to be attentive, impeccable... because they're kind of overpriced. They served the food after 40 minutes of waiting, they got the bill wrong, and they took a long time giving it to us! We even threatened to leave after 2 minutes if they didn't give it to us.. and they were still late! Grabe! Hay nako. Buti nalang I liked my Apple Martini, New Orleans has the best Apple Martini I've ever tasted.
Saturdays are normally stayins and early lunches for us. Gem and I were in the mood for Brother's Burgers and we had this humongous meal of The Bistro Burger (yummmyyyy!!! Brie, Dijon Dressing, Champignon mushrooms, a juicy quater pounder ohhh and the bread!!!), Brother's Burger w/ Cheese and Onion Rings ( i love their onion rings!!!).

Sigh... I wish everyday was like this. School is really a bore. As much as I would love to spend more time with my friends I cannot. Ang daming kailangan gawin. Chem 16 palang isang sem na ata.

                 Downs:

         1)      Only 6 people in our class passed the notorious first Chemistry Exam. Nope that did not include me. Mam Ramos, did not give us partial points with the reasoning that if the answer was wrong, then the procedure was wrong. Go figure.

        2)      I am doing the thing I hate most in studying. CRAMMING. A lot of people think that it’s so exciting and the pressure makes them perform better. I don’t. I feel irresponsible for not doing my work during the holidays, which is finish The Iliad and start with The Temptest. Okay, it wasn’t formally given as an assignment, but given that I study in UP, I should’ve done this out of my own will. (Which I didn’t)

       3)      I have 3 exams lined up for next Friday. Yes all my professors on that day connived that they torture me with three exams. First is about Visual & Hearing Impairments, Eng 12 on The Iliad and The Temptest and Soc Sci 2 on the works of Plato, Machiavelli, Aristotle, St. Thomas of Aquinas and St Augustine. Oh and may I note? I have to name the author and the work for a specific quote from the texts.

 Ups:

1)      Only one more day of school! Life begins at 2:30 pm on Fridays.

2)      Dinner with my favorites Char and Gian at New Orleans, Serendra. Ribs Ribs Ribs!

3)      Wearing my Aldo pumps and Mango skirt! (haha! Okay babaw)

4)      Mum bought me my Bright Yellow nail polish from TFS.

I guess there is still hope, mas madami pading ups than the downs.

Starting 2009 right with a near death experience is NOT the right way to do it! Gem and I were standing outside in the streets watching all the gorgeous fireworks. It was almost 12:00 and suddenly a FLAMING MICHA went right above our heads!!! MY GOD! I am soooo glad it was rainy and we were under an umbrella, if not the burning micha went straight to our heads and burned our hair! Anu beh. We almost died there. But I'm just happy that we got off safe and had the opportunity to spend New Year's Eve together. Dinner was awesome with my Mom's "legendary" lasagna, Omakase American Dream, Callos, Stuffed Chicken, Majestic Ham, Gouda and great Merlot :) Then hung outside in the grotto having wine, cheese and funny conversations about Ellen Degeneres & Britney, my sister's new boytoy and our neighbors addiction to New Year!

2008 was indeed a very good year. I was completely blown away with all the important life make/break decisions, the spectacular events, the many great nights and all the amazing firsts I've had. I just hope 2009 will be the same, if not better.

Maintain CS status

Go to Ilocos for Christmas 2009

Complete my yearly makeup investment

Start getting into running

Enroll in a Yoga class

Formulate my own personal brand as a person

Be more outgoing and exert more effort in getting along with people

 

 

This year, instead of making a New Year’s Resolutions List, I decided to make a 2008 To-Do List simply because it seemed much more feasible, straight to the point and objective. I can’t believe I crossed out everything especially since most require financial powers and big leaps of faith. But no doubt I actually did all! I’m so proud of myself!

 

Buy a Sony T20 (I actually bought a T70)

Go to Boracay during the summer

Be College Scholar

Be Pubevent Team Head (and I took an even bigger leap as Adhoc Chair)

Be a Junior Jock for the summer (I passed the screening! But the actual stint will be this summer. It’s for the Boys’ Night Out which they call Summer Bunnies. I’m still thinking if I’m pushing with it since it’s late at night)

Buy a new IPOD

Visit Lolo Gon 

 

Holidays this year seem much happier, despite bittersweet moments..that ended well anyway :D Mom and Dad are quite happy with how the family business is going well… the life of an entrepreneur can be so stressful! Minsan meron, minsan wala, that’s why I don’t think I’ll get into business.. masyadong maraming emotional attachments. Another reason for a happier Christmas is that finally my parents are allowing my sisters to drink! Hahaha. Baduy! But other than that the family is so much closer now. Noche Buena was superb with mum’s beef rolls (strips of tenderloin wrapped with cheese then baked) and my favorite ham!!! Holidays like these are best enjoyed with family and your loved ones, so it’s great that this Christmas we’re finally complete! I can’t wait for the New Year!


Bries Sisters. 12.25.08

Girls Day Out! Lunch at family favorite Abe

SNOW WORLD!!!!

We treated our siblings to lunch at Mexicali and coffee & dessert att Trinoma :)

Treated Gem to breakfast at Portico! Yummy!

Christmas Dinner at El Cirkulo! Yummy paella and slow roasted beef belly! :D Thanks hun ;p

Our 3rd Christmas together!

Visited Lolo Gon this year! Finally!

 

You know its Christmas when you have this ridiculous number of parties to go to, supermarkets and malls are jam packed with lots of people and it takes you hours to get to anywhere! I can’t believe that Christmas is just 5 days away, this holiday seems much more busy and stressful! It’s great though that I already finished buying/wrapping gifts, ingredients for potluck contributions and planning my holiday agenda. People are scrambling all over, buying this buying that.. it just puzzles me that they never seem to learn throughout the years to shop ahead and avoid the maddening crowds. Sana if ganoon ginawa nating lahat di na ko aabutin ng 2 and a half hours to go to Mandarin Oriental.

 

Segue to that, it’s soooo nice to hole up yourself and just rediscover the reasons while you’re still together. The best thing about this trip is that we got to know each other all over again, and realized how important and urgent US is. So thanks ;-) Je Suis Gourmand is the best even if you didn’t like the others! I had no idea walking around Jupiter at 3 am (in shorts while the weather was freezing cold!) would be so much fun!

 

These two bitches, Pam and Julie are the best people on earth! Bonded over some Japanese food at Teriyaki Boy and Starbucks at Eastwood, which was definitely an awesome bonding fiesta! It’s great that even if Pam and Jules are single, they are wise beyond any girl that has been in a relationship. After all these years, despite the drama, after Pam’s boys (joookkkkeee!), Julie’s guru tips and my super corny jokes na walang climax.. they still show up to lunch after a crazy Fiamma night the day before :-)

 

Hay ang dami ko pang kailangan matapos sa Christmas List ko:

Buy Gem’s present

Dec 26 Plans

Finish Twinkies (a book about the manufacturing of processed food.. makes you want to puke that hotdog)

Watch Fireworks (Trinoma is so close to our house... every dinner, we can actually watch the fireworks from our house!)

Go to EK to watch fireworks

Go to Snow World! (so I get to wear Winter Chic!!! Blair during the Thanksgiving episode)

Watch Season 1 of How I Met Your Mother

-Azuki Waffle Ice Cream is one of the best ice cream treats ever! I get it from the Yamazaki Japanese Grocery at Little Tokyo in Makati. Perfect for dessert after a hearty gozen in Seryna :))

-Hay. Indeed, everything is great the second time around. Fresh start, clean slate... it's true when they say that falling in love is better the second time around. If you are just patient, persistent and stubborn about the fact that you two are meant for each other.. then it'll come. High risk, high return.

-I'm so not in writing mode. I'm just blabbing random proses, but who cares.. this is how soupy I get after a semester of Chemistry.

-Accompanied Gem in his trade visits :)) I didn't know the food business was this fascinating! Went to Wheatberry, Kozui (veggie spring rolls!!!), Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee,Pastry Passion and then had dinner at Big Better Burgers! I love the fact that I had a sneak peak of what he does at work..just another chance to be closer :) And yeah..the food was a big factor also.

Also, I have to post my list of yearly makeup investments. Thank you Gem for the gc in Make Up For Ever! Thank you agency! Madami din palang perks maging marketeer!

I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know

I LOVE IIIIIIIITTTTT :)

i still don't get why a lot of people flock to Megamall when it's so hard to navigate there, and there's nothing really special about it (like uncommon establishments like Markati Palazzo or Firma). After n years of avoiding of going to Megamall, I had to accompany Gem to buy his Barong for Kuya Bri's wedding. Grabe talaga. You bump into people a lot, maingay, masikip and hindi malamig sa loob. I'm not an elitist when it comes to malls, meaning I don't go there to be seen or to people watch. It's just that I like to go to places where people don't invade your personal bubble and you can easily get from destination  A to destination B in a matter of seconds. The crs are such a pain in the ass. For each floor comfort rooms are only located on the ends of tbe two sides! It was so hard to find the department store and where the hell is The Body Shop??? Anyway, it will be a very looonnng time before I go back here. The only reason that can make me do so is to eat at El Pollo Loco and the Brook and Ivy stall.

1. "Supermassive Black Hole" (Muse) – 3:29
2. "Decode" (Paramore) – 4:22
3. "Full Moon" (The Black Ghosts) – 3:50
4. "Leave Out All the Rest" (Linkin Park) – 3:20
5. "Spotlight" (Twilight Mix) (Mute Math) – 3:20
6. "Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)" (Perry Farrell) – 3:27
7. "Tremble for My Beloved" (Collective Soul) – 3:53
8. "I Caught Myself" (Paramore) – 3:55
9. "Eyes on Fire" (Blue Foundation) – 5:01
10. "Never Think" (Robert Pattinson) – 4:29
11. "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" (Iron & Wine) – 4:00
12. "Bella's Lullaby" (Carter Burwell) – 2:15

My favorites are Bella's Lullaby, Flightless Bird and Supermassive Black Hole. BEST OST EVER! :D

After watching Twilight in Eastwood last Saturday and having a huge crush on Edward Cullen (this is a big deal because I RARELY have a crush on anyone), I am finally joining the bandwagon that is sweeping everyone: I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!  Although I haven't read the book yet, the movie is enough for me to be a fan. I totally abhor bandwagons (except certain things like pag may papansin na kaming friend haha).. a good example would be I didn't watch the OC because I think that I don't have to watch it just because people are watching it. Kaya yang mga David Schappel na yan and kung ano ano pang "pop culture", I don't usually follow. Anyway, it's not like I don't like to read, I love good books..but there was something in the popularity of Twilght that annoyed me before. Pero after the kick ass OST, killer baseball game scene, gazebo dance and sigh....Edward Cullen... I am officially a Twilight Fan! Feeling ko talaga I'm to quick to judge on everything. I think I should work on that..

Anyway, Eastwood Cinema 3 (where we watched) was the NOISIEST theater I've ever been too! Throngs of teenyboppers with their barkadas and boylets (what we used to call them guys before) kept swooning, making gushy noises and kilig screams everytime Edward and Bella were about to kiss/dance. Sige na nga pagbigyan. But we felt so old there, we were being so nega about the noise now, but I remember being more tolerant when I was younger. But despite the noisy barkadas (oh yeah I forgot to mention they were watching in groups of 8-10) I still loved the movie! I want to watch it again... maybe with a friend or something. Basta I'm so glad hindi nanaman ako tinamad manuod or else I never had the chance to watch it..

After the movie, Gem and I ate at Teriyaki Boy. Crunchy Tuna Gunkan, Tamago Sushi and Tempura were divine! And yeah more groups of teenyboppers there. I ended up shopping at the bazaar. Sabi ko lang kay Gem "Gem! I'll just look around I promise!", Gem: "Hay nako, I'm sure may bibilin ka, it's a bazaar.Lalo na when you see a Twenty Php Everything, it always works on you!" Denise: :"No I promise talaga look around lang!" After 3 seconds"Wow cute bag! How much?"

Gem just laughs.. as always. :)

I finally have something to do productive while waiting for my Soc Sci 2 class. I never get to blog, much less do anything leisurely during my breaks, so it's great that CAL finally has WiFi!!! This part  in my acads has been sooooo frustrating. Chemistry has been HORRIBLE. My lecture classes discusses nuclear chemistry to oxidation reduction problems in ONE MEETING, and it doesn't help that most of my classmates are either B.S "insert major here" Engineering that most of them either a) sleep in class because this is so easy for them or b) even if they don't really listen, somehow with their innate intelligence manage to get it all the same. And I who is not really gifted in Chemistry, although that doesn't necessarily mean I'm dumb, end up SABAW after every lecture and I hurry home to find out and understand what the lecture was all about. It's just a never-ending chase to catch up!

Although I am enjoying my other subjects. Awhile ago I was reading Plato's The Republic and The Illiad by Homer (take note: in poetry form), and I think it makes me realize that, I should've just majored in English since I prefer reading over those ox-dox calculations...

I can't wait to de-stress and unwind with a shot of 151!!!!

Wish all my days were like this!

At Fiamma with two of the best people on earth!

Meron akong withdrawal syndrome, in particular, in missing people. When I miss people very much, I get mad at them. For the most stupid reasons and I know it’s silly but that’s just the way it is. Feeling ko kasi, that way, I feel I’m not getting to clingy and mas mamimiss ko less yung person. It’s easier that way. It’s kind of like quitting smoking. The more you want it, the more you have to avoid it. Ewan ko lang, pero that’s the way it is. And besides, it’s better to preoccupy yourself with other things, para di ka maloka. I avoid talking/texting with them. It makes me miss them even more.

My Soc Sci II ( Economic and Philosophical Thought) is the class I like the most so far. Hahaha. If you’re competing with Chemistry and Stat classes, that’s an easy win. But  I like my professor in this subject. Not only does he present things in such an interesting and non highfaluting manner, but cracks THE BEST JOKES. Anyway, we were discussing the fine line between the rational and the standards of what is crazy. I just think the boundaries are artificial. Prof. Fernando says that the only difference between the sane and the crazy is their grasp of the absolute idea of reality. But what is the true idea of reality? He made an example of a teacher saying that the pen is black, while his student is insisting that the pen is midnight blue.   After millions of times convincing the student, putting a straight jacket on him, beating him up..he finally agrees that the pen is black. Interesting don’t you think? I never looked at that angle, that people treated insane people that way.

I always thought I was borderline crazy because I think of the most ridiculous things EVER!!! Like when I pray, I always think that I’m hugging Jesus..kind of like a friend hug. Hahaha! It’s weird  I know. But who set the standards of weirdness anyway??

I’m going back to reading Josephine Bonaparte’s biographies. Sometimes I imagine I’m back in the medieval/renaissance times so I can sashay around with my pretty taffeta gown and hat. See I have such a vivid imagination. Oh yeah.. if you want to make it up to me, how about a slice of chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake?

Lately, things are going my way..which makes me happy and fulfilled! My Chem lab class at around 7 am which I anticipated as SOUP GALORE, wasn't so bad at all. I even got 13/10 in our first quiz! haha :) Most of my classmates are freshmen, and because I look young for my age, they all thought I was in first year as well. My lecture class though is a bit hard. Mam Ramos is making us memorize the anion-cation table already and has assigned a gazillion of problems to solve. Pero manageable, nothing that can't be handled. Feeling ko the key to success is to make your enemy, your best friend. So every morning, when I wake up and find myself dreading class, I repeat to myself  'I LOVE CHEM. IT'S MY BESTFRIEND'.. Well I hope it loves me in return! (fingers crossed)

I just loooveee dining out. I had Friuli Tuna and Mushroom Pasta, Three Cheese Pizza (heavenly!) and Iced Coffee. I super love Friuli! And nakakatawa because they have this guy who does everything! Wait on the tables, mix the latte..and cook the food I guess.hahaha! I love dinners like these in the middle of the week. It keeps the rest of the weekdays bearable. Also had lunch with my parents and brother at Cyma. Chicken Souvlaki and Ceaser Salad is DIVINE. I love Cyma! :D My parents have a knack for eating at the best places! And the most special part of that day..getting my coveted, beloved flat boots! The ones at Janylin are less expensive than the ones in Promod, but they are much prettier! They're camel, slouchy, flat and GORGEEEYYY :D

Hay. I love days like these when things are going extremely well. Must not jinx it and spoil the moments :D Back to Chem studying. Hayyy...I hate memorizing.. oh wait..  I LOVE MEMORIZING :))
