I love Sex ... and the City!

My favorite quote came from the series' finale : "I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love."

SATC gave me so much more than Samantha's sexual drive, Carrie's love for shoes/Big, Charlotte's enthusiasm when it comes to life/Burberry patterns and Miranda's cute Brady. I don't particularly recall when my obsession for this show started, all I remember is being in our living room back in the Philippines, cuddling my pillow while on my granny's rocking chair, imaginary-smoking a camacho triple maduro jkjkjk and watching it late at night over RPN 9 (local channel). Now that I'm single, living in New York and is a writer (ok, ok, technically a blogger) - to say that I could relate to Carrie Bradshaw's fictional existence (ok, ok, sans the dream apartment) is an understatement! <3

So this is what I do with my spare time.

1. Sing along Taylor Swift's Back to December over nine thousand times! Excuse the pained face, I'm suffering from the worst gum/toothache ever, crycrycry - I need to see a dentist, stat!

 Note that the screencaps include some of my favorite things in the world: a neutral eyelid color (browns mixed with golds and shimmer), an unlimited Metrocard (for the Subway), dollar$ and my paycheck hee!

 2. Shop for more lipstick (and get 5 Lancome freebies along the way).

Get 5 full sized ones for yourself too by purchasing $35+ on Lancome.com with the code : MARCHBDAY (expires 3/31/2011).

3. Dream about fudge. (Taken when we went to the Outer Banks of Philadelphia... I cannot wait to go back!)

4. Watch Timeless Tales! Oh, childhood!

I remember tuning in to Cartoon Network every Sunday afternoon for new episodes of this show! It brought so much magic into my young life... wrapped me up and made me believe that everything will be good and right and the world was at peace. I loved ALL the stories, but the ones I liked the best were Rumpelstiltskin & The Ugly Duckling (its songs were funny yet it always made me cry - "You're not one of us, it's plain to see; when it comes to ducks you're ugly... why don't you just swim away" ).

Pretty Little Liars : The Withdrawal.

You have no idea how much this show has sucked me in. Trust me when I tell you that it should replace the now aging (in dire need of hgh pills?), faltering Gossip Girl (I still loff you, Blair <3) as your teen drama guilty pleasure.

Today is the first Monday of their spring hiatus and I feel like I'm about to die - seriously, the finale just heightened my infuriation because NOTHING ABOUT "A" WAS EVER ANSWERED! Emily continued to piss me off... she has got to be, the most boring lesbian in the universe! Aria & Ezra are still blah... I cannot wait for them to just break up! Spencer is whatever... I only like her 'cause she's cute. But my oh my, how Hanna & Caleb caught my eye... and if they don't pull the hottest guy back from Arizona, I am going to effing raise hell!

UGH.

I can have nice things.

"Hauls" and "What's Inside My Bag(s)" are my favorite things to search for online. There's just something about snooping into other girls' personal stuff that makes me feel peachy!

I used to carry an obnoxious-sized kit filled with necessities ~~*sanitizer, lotion, tampon, contacts solution*~~ and makeup [to retouch with]; but a few days ago, I decided to forego and toss away the lumpy sack to divide my keekee stuff into individual compartments... now everything looks prettier (and if a fashion / travel emergency arises, everything would be within easy access)!

Leopard-print (my fave kind) pouch from Lancome - free with Mom's purchase!

MAC's Blot Powder, NARS' Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer Duo, NARS' Orgasm  lip gloss, Clean & Clear's Oil Absorbing Sheets, Tarte's MultiplEYE mascara and Sephora's Super Shimmer lipgloss in Bronzed Beauty (mini).

Missha M's Perfect Cover BB Cream, Laura Mercier's Matte eyeshadow in Truffle, Maybelline's Age Rewind Face Primer, Make Up For Ever's Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in #42, Laura Mercier's (mini) Fan Brush, a set of Ecotools' (kabuki, concealer & shadow) brushes, Sonia Kashuk's Double-ended travel brush, Lancome's Color Design Quad and two liners from Smashbox (Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx) and Sephora (in Silver Green)

I read it... so you don't have to.

The Kardashian Konfidential!!!

There's no denying that they aren't everywhere you look. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to read their "book"... duh, I love them (but my favorite Kardashian would have to be Mason, easily; such a munchkin!).

It's a part-memoir/self-help/medical job listings (lulzjoke) kind of read. Not classic, by any means, admittedly. There aren't any groundbreaking news, intriguing gossip or notable quotes. But obviously, would you really expect that from this one? A seemingly quirky venture from a group that is basically famous for being... well, famous; but certainly endearing - and a must for every true Kardashian doll out there.

I've included a badly taken shot (as like all the other pics I've taken with my webcam) of my favorite part of the book - it's their list of the top places to dine in (in my city):

There are six!

I've only been to one...

SERENDIPITY!!! <3

That's me with my face cut off, hee!
I was with Mary and Camille and we had the (from left to right) Frozen Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Sundae(?) and Frozen Mochaccino.

Their menu : check out the $1,000 sundae OMG! 

Visiteurs.

March has been, and will pretty much be, a very exciting month for me because of three reasons.

1.) Nephews (that are almost my age) from Australia came to visit for five days! It was definitely great to finally put faces on names that I only knew from stories & letters.

2.) One of my very best friends from high school will be coming on Tuesday! She has actually been here before, a little over two years ago, I think? But unlike then, when she was with her whole family & they only visited for a month, this time she'll be staying for 90 days!

3.) And finally, the trip that I have looked forward to the most... my closest, favoritest cousins will be making their way back to the Big Apple! I hope they don't forget to pack marine binoculars with them, jk... I can't wait to see them.

And just to spice this semi-vague entry up a bit (I swear, my writing "skill" deteriorates day by day huhu), I will be posting pictures I've unearthed from when another good friend of mine, Camille, was here.

Fun fact: Jay-Z & Alicia Keys' music video for Empire State of Mind was shot at the red steps behind us.

I <3 PHILADELPHIA!!!

With my favorite wrestler, who actually got back in the wrestling scene, The Rock - err well, his wax figure, atleast!
(Covering my mouth with squiggles because it looked disgusting)

In the middle of Times Square & on top of the Empire State, hearts hearts hearts!!!
