V : Anything You Want To Post About

A quick recap on what has happened since the last time I posted something (4 days ago).

January 21 [Friday] - Spent the first half of my day at the hospital (where I saw a lot of yummy Dr. McDreamy's and sexy residents -- okay that's embarrassing ... I needed to be there because my godmother was confined for Laparoscopy & I had to take care of her), the next quarter doing work, and for the remaining hours, I met with Rainier, Chel & Mary Grace for a night of Chinese food & booze.

January 22 & 23 [weekend] - I worked for the most part but was pretty much just situated at home, shopping online (even though I know I'm as broke as that gay Heath Ledger movie). I also finished half of my The Simple Life 4 : 'Til Death Do Us Part DVD and I lived off my new favorite cereal, Kellogg's Smorz!

January 24 [today] - OH OH OH!!! Remember the Jillian Michaels exercise routine I've started doing last Monday? I stepped on the scale today and found out that I LOST FOUR POUNDS ZOMG!!! O___O  I wasn't expecting that at all... What's weird is that I actually haven't changed my eating ways (it's still as carbohydrate-y as ever!), but I'm still right on track on my soda ban - it's been almost a month since I said goodbye to my carbonated friends. I physically don't look any different, still, but obviously that'll happen gradually. I'm just so excited because at least it's something/a start! I just want to go back to how my body looked like before I moved here because Lord knows I've gained a looot (America, why must you be so creme-filled?).

IV : Favorite Store To Buy From

I guess it's the same feeling as being into illegal substances. While Snoop Dogg has his weed, I have my crack - Sephora is my crack. <3

I discovered this wonderfully enchanted place years ago & I have been hooked ever since. I am like a little girl when I walk in its doors ... all of the pretty colors, enchanting smells, a vanity mirror every ten steps! It mesmerizes me!!!

herp a link that you can ignore / fat burners that work here / trying to make a living derp

They have the bestest deals too! The last time I bought from their site, I was sent this (pictured) massive kit filled with awesome freebies-- they also gift their " Beauty Insiders' " birthday presents! Two years ago I got 3 great lipglosses; last year I had an eyeshadow, a liner & mascara; and this year they'll be giving away Philosophy's Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath in Vanilla Cupcake *my favorite scent : they so get me* !

III : Something You're Addicted To

HA! Thought I'd say makeup, ey?!

I love handbags! I collect them, carry them, baby them ... they are just my favorite accessory! My "addiction" actually started pretty late. I believe I was in my senior year of high school when I became obsessed. It even came to the point where I bought one every week! My 12th grade classmates even teased me about it 'cause they noticed how I would constantly switch bags so often... how cray-cray. Before I left to study here (US), I had accumulated a whole closet's worth - which I sadly had to give away because no matter how much I wanted, bringing them all to New York was impossible.

How it stared? When my Mom (aka The Instigator!) migrated here, she would send me monthly care packages that for some reason always had one, sometimes even two, purses (with a couple of acne face wash herp derp, I was a very greasy teen, herp derp); that was how my pile grew.

The one pictured? Is from The Sak & my favorite at the moment. I love how it practically goes with every outfit and I love how it could possibly be a dupe for the Balenciaga *drools* Giant City.

II : Bullet Your Whole Day

• Woke up at 9
• Checked Twitter, Tumblr & Facebook through the iTouch
• Had breakfast (1 banana & 1 hard-boiled egg) while watching the news
• Oh who am I kidding; I really watched last night's Pretty Little Liars over On Demand (half-mindfully though 'cause I was getting ready to go to the "gym" - which is really just a glorified word for "an empty space in front of our TV") 
• Met with the devil's incarnate, Jillian Michaels (30 Day Shred DVD)
• By 11ish I proceeded to SMH *Shower Hair Makeup*
• At Bank of America to deposit a check / withdraw munniez (for movies, lunch dates and hangouts later this week)
• At Singas Famous Pizza to get lunch (chicken Ceasar salad & tuna melt) & dinner for Mummeh and me (10" plain pizza)
• Going home, I almost tripped from the slushy snow because my stupid thigh muscles were so sore (I should have just went with the herbal phentermine route jkjkjk)
• Checked Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook & favorite blogs through the laptop

And here I am now, blogging at 4:45 in the afternoon. It sucks that today's 'theme' was to talk about how my day went because my today was pretty much an uneventful one. If it was bumped to tomorrow, I could've talked to you about how I saw The Green Hornet. On Thursday I could've shared my lunch & shopping date. Or if it was set during the weekends, I would've blogged about hanging out with friends & meeting high school batchmates that are in the city for vacay.

Whatever. Anyway, to make this entry a bit more interesting, here's a picture I dug from my hard drive. It doesn't have any significance (AT ALL!) with the stuff I just talked about, but like I said, I'm just inserting a random image for your viewing pleasure.

Smiles from the Cabarles, Arraiza, Opelanio & Buenaseda girls!

I : Your Photo + Five Facts

1. I am starting two challenges today - one online (this meme) and one IRL (Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred routine which promises that I could "lose up to 20 pounds in a month"). Wish me luck <3

2. It's actually a holiday where I am right now (Martin Luther King Jr Day).

3. For someone who chronically sleeps for half a day, I'm surprisingly giddy even though I only got four hours worth. There might be some truth to that Elle Woods ~~*exercise releases endorphins, endorphins make you happy*~~ phrase afterall!

4. It's only 3ish PM, but somehow I feel like I've done a lot already /laundry/ /workout/ /gave myself a mani-pedi/ /Cityville bruhaha/ /bleached my brows/ /marinated the chicken for dinner/ /bought an exam table loljk/

5. Remember that girly group from the 90's (geez, I'm so old!), Solid Harmonie? Yeah, I've been obsessively singing their songs in the shower for weeks now.
