got my personal year by adding my birthday April 2  to 2011 which is (4+2+2+0+1+1). it changes every year.

Personal Year 1 in 2011

the 1 year is the beginning of a new 9 year cycle. What you start in a 1 year will have an effect for the next nine years. Those with a 1 year are starting new ventures, becoming more independent, showing leadership and learning new skills. This is an excellent year to clarify your goals and lay the foundation for years to come.


i think i better enroll in Slim's next year.

otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu!

Regine-Ogie wedding

i'm not a fan of both. i just watched the wedding because i wanted to see Regine's wedding gown by Monique Lhullier.

but then...

natuwa ako sa kanilang dalawa. they seem to be nice people. and most important of all, they look like they really love each other. it's so touching when the groom cries upon seeing the bride walking the aisle towards him. i'm happy for the two of them. whether or not it's true that it was regine who caused the break up of ogie and michelle is not important anymore. whatever they have looks real so let's give it to them na lang. baka yung kay michelle ang mistake? hehehe.

na-touch ako nung kumanta si regine ng Apo song:

hindi ko malimutan kung kailangan nagsimulang matutong ikaw lang ang mahalin...
at di ko malimutan kung kailangan ko natikman, ang tamis ng iyong halik, 
yakap na napakahigpit, pag-ibig mong tunay hanggang langit...

i like her wedding vow din. mas may feelings kesa sa vow ni ogie. naiyak ako para sa kanya. she deserves to be happy after taking care of her family. plus 40 na siya no! she waited all her life for this.

regine looking so radiant and happy

hindi pa ko nakaka-attend ng wedding na ganito ka-heartfelt yung palitan ng vows.  yung maiiyak ka talaga. usually kasi, the bride and groom just recite the vows. siguro ang pinaka-heartfelt na yung sa ate ko kung saan naiyak din si kuya abe!

gusto ko talaga umiiyak yung grooms sa wedding :-D

anyway back to the gown, hindi ko siya gusto. OA ang ruffles sa baba e. plus hindi bagay yung hair accessory ni regine na white flowers (orchids ata). sana mas simpleng hair accessory lang kasi yung gown ang highlight e.  it costs half a million pesos daw but i don't see it in the gown. i like the color though.

busy Christmas

no time to blog since HK. nagdaan lang na parang Shinkansen sa bilis ang lahat.

Dec. 20
- got back from HK Monday noon
- Dwarfina meeting at 4pm
- Origin8 Christmas party until early morning

Dec. 21
- hilahan blues, surprise party of Erik at Mogwai until 4AM
hindi naging surprise kasi ayaw pa sumama so sinabi ko na rin na may surprise kaya kailangan niya pumunta dun! hay.

Dec. 22
- attended Publicis' Xmas party and judged their Japan-themed production numbers. don't really approved of the winners but what can i do? i was just one out of 5 judges.
- attended color grading of Shokot until 4AM again.

Dec. 23
- Meeting for new soap
- Fed the two dogs. I ordered takeout from Max's: chicken and chopsuey for Setsuko but she only ate a little chicken

Dec. 24
- did the laundry. the last time i did my laundry was during my Marilag days when i washed some Ukay clothes i bought. 3-4 years ago na siguro yun!
- Setsuko wouldn't eat so after i made lunch, we brought her to the vet, bought Cerelac and a syringe and force-fed her. i have to do that every 4 hours!

hindi pa ko nakakaligo! and have i mentioned that i'm still not finished with my Christmas shopping?

big sigh.

---
hopefully i get to do all the chores before 11pm because we plan to watch the 48 Hour Mystery Special on CI channel to celebrate Christmas! then tomorrow, i'll be writing the last 2 days of Week 9 script.

i hate Christmases.

setsuko is sick :(

and this is the culprit, canned Pedigree dog food which is bad for the liver according to the doctor. 

canned Pedigree dog food

she growled at master and that's so unlike her. maybe she was already having stomach pains then.

good thing i sent her to the doctor immediately. vomiting is always a bad sign. 

i'm so sorry setsuko. it's my fault that you're sick now. from now on, you'll be a vegetarian with occasional chicken and pork diet. 

wishlist for things i can buy

ewan ko nga ba. sometimes it just makes me feel guilty buying so much stuff for myself so i don't.
there are also things that are just always available so you tend to take them for granted - just like people who are always around.

1. Muji long pillow. I had one before but i had to leave it in Japan. P1250 in Muji, Bonifacio High Street

2. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. Gave away my copy because i just loved it so much that i wanted to share it.

3. The Body Shop cheek and lip tint. Sometimes i look too pale but can't do anything about it. 

  

4. A nice soft hairbrush like this one from Earth Therapeutics. So i could brush my hair for a change hahaha

5. I need tights of dark colors, and socks just below the knees (of any color except white) when i travel but unfortunately, they are not the first thing on my list when i'm in a store

   

these are all i could think of right now. 

distractions

leslie cheung's death on BIO and john lennon on CI channel. how can i write?!

this is mark chapman, lennon's murderer. he's been eligible for parole since 2000 but denied parole 6 times because of yoko ono. i don't blame her. let him stay there for the rest of his life. (but as usual, it all started in his crappy childhood)

killer looks

this image is creepy. it was shot hours before chapman killed lennon. here he was asking for his autograph. he was amazed at how nice lennon was, even asking him if he needs anything else before leaving with yoko ono. then he patiently waited to kill him.
