Rihanna & Chris Brown Live in Taguig

I love Rihanna, specially when she sings my favorite song Don't Stop the Music. And I said to myself that if she ever holds a concert here in the Philippines, I'm going to watch. Well, here's an opportunity. She's going to sing at the Fort together with Chris Brown! But I can't come :'( The concert will be held on Nov 16 Sunday. I don't think I would still have the energy to watch the concert after a flight back from Cagayan de Oro.


Waaaah!

I wanna get married

Last Saturday, my cousin got married. We all know (even his already-wife, I think) that this is not what he wants right now. I can attest that he is not ready yet, but he wasn't given a choice. His family has decided for him.

This has gotten me into writing. I have actually thought about this a million times but I decided to write about it just now. I don't want to get married because of wrong reasons. I don't want to get married because I got pregnant, nor do I want to get married because I want to get out of our wretched house. I do not want to get married because I hate it when I don't get the privacy I need, or just the mere selfish reason that I don't want my sisters to dig through my closet and wear my clothes whenever they want. I don't want marrying to be my answer, or escape.

Big part of my decision would sure be the financial aspect. Of course, who wants to get married without having a house for your own? Or not enough money to start a family? No one, right? But I think it would not matter much as long as you are ready emotionally and psychologically. I want to get married at the right time, and with the right guy.

But for now, I want to enjoy my single life, and by that I mean, not yet married. I want to enjoy this for as long as I can, so that when I decide to proceed with the next step in my life, there would be no regrets. There would be no turning back.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 10

I love watching reality shows. I don't memorize all the schedules, I'm just lucky that I chance upon one while flipping channels on the tv. But this one is different. I watched the whole ANTM10 season through the internet. Thanks to Sidereel, I can watch different shows whenever I want.

And now, can i scream?? WAAAAAAH! :'( I was just really disappointed with the result.


Never mind Anya's accent. I was rooting for her.. She wasn't harsh at all to anyone. She wasn't overconfident, like Dominic or anybody else from this season, who always has something bad to say about someone else. She does not badmouth anyone, even her ultimate competition Whitney. And she's got a pretty face that not only takes pretty pictures, but pictures that sell. She's got a good portfolio! She's pretty inside and out. I thought Nigel and Paulina are biased towards her. But I guess, Tyra's the one to decide. And just what I thought. She wanted a plus-sized model to win the competition. It was obvious. I just can't get over that Anya, whom I can't recall being in the bottom 2 ever, didn't win over Whitney, who was in the bottom 2 for like 4 times? O well, I'm sure Anya's still going to be a hot pick in this business.



I'm not sure if I can afford to watch another episode again...

What type of fruit are you?

Saw some of my friends blogging their hearts out with lots of quizzes! Seems fun so I tried one of the tests too. ^_^'

You Are an Orange

You have a zest for life, especially for anything colorful, wild, or dramatic. You have a unique take on the world, and you're not afraid to be a little funky. You are a bit reserved toward people who don't know you well. You have a thick skin, which can protect you from anything that goes wrong in your life. Once someone does get to know you, they totally get and appreciate you. Your friends see you as a bright person with a refreshing take on life.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

What do you think? Am I really an Orange?

Eric's Song

I really love this song...

strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
strange how I know inside you
my hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze

and of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
you pick up the pieces
and the ghosts in the attic
they never quite leave
and of course I forgive
you've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
my voices and analogies
ambitions like ribbons
worn bright on my sleeve

strange how we know each other

strange how I fit into you
there's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
strange how you fit into me
a gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

and with each passing day
the stories we say
draw us tighter into our addiction
confirm our conviction
that some kind of miracle
passed on our heads
and how I am sure
like never before
of my reasons for defying reason
embracing the seasons
we dance through the colors
both followed and led

strange how we fit each other

strange how certain the journey
time unfolds the petals for our eyes to see
strange how this journey's hurting
in ways we accept as part of fate's decree

so we just hold on fast
acknowledge the past
as lessons exquisitely crafted
painstakingly drafted
to carve us as instruments
that play the music of life
for we don't realize
our faith in the prize
unless it's been somehow elusive
how swiftly we choose it
the sacred simplicity
of you at my side

fun time!

I had a busy but fine Saturday. My sister, and my boyfriend and I decided to take a look at the resort where my youngest sister will celebrate her bday. After reserving a place, we went back home and planned everything for the event.

Then, my boyfriend and I decided to spend the rest of our Saturday just to have some fun and probably waste some time and money ^_^' We were actually running late but we were still able to beat the 9pm closing of the mall. We went straight ahead in that small arcade spot and looked for our favorite game: House of the Dead! I had so much fun killing all the zombies and creatures, I didn't mind that my arms were already aching. I'm glad I finally get to play video games ^_^' and we were able to finish it too! 9pm came and we had our dinner at some place like a "dampa". The food wasn't really good. Oh well...

And I don't wanna go home yet. So my boyfriend decided to play games in the fair. There was this particular game I enjoyed the most. There was this big sort of table filled with squares. Then you have to throw a peso inside these squares in order to win a prize. I really had fun (fun! fun!) trying to place the coins inside the squares. That was my first time. It rained but it didn't actually stop us. We visited the other stalls with the same game, and I know we have to go home after we visit the last one. I spotted a cute mug with a pink design, and it was the jackpot prize! And I badly want it. I told him that if I get that, we can go home >:) But I know it wouldn't be easy. There are only 2 squares that has that jackpot. And in each square, was a circle large enough just to fit a 1-peso coin. And that coin has to perfectly fit there in order to win the jackpot prize. We already ran out of coins so I asked a lady for a change for 100-peso bill ^_^' (I'm getting addicted, yes). I concentrated myself in that small circle, when I saw a coin actually getting in that spot! And yes! It fit right in! And my boyfriend was the one who threw that! I was so delighted and surprised that he actually did it! The lady was also shocked that the 1-peso coin fit right in! We got home really late but it was OK. I got the mug for a peso! :D Haha (not really ^_^')

Breaking Dawn

A very lovely surprise! Tuesday after the release of the book, Rissa came up to me, showing a hardbound Breaking Dawn book. I thought she was showing off her copy =) Before I could even react, she suddenly said that the book came from my boyfriend! I had to pause for a second to grasp what happened.

The book was for me! =) Thanks to my bf for being thoughtful! I really liked it! :-*
