super hair and make up

Grabe! galing ng make up artist ni Janine, super natuwa talaga ako. Di ako mukhang multo sa kapal ng make up! I love it!

This was taken before the wedding. Nasa CR ako nito, at mukha akong kinuryenteng pusa...

Eto, nasa bahay na ako, pero di pa din nabura ang make - up. Nagpalit na ako ng pambahay, at nagpicture picture muna bago maghilamos, ganun pa man, ang hirap pa din tanggalin ng make up!

Boses Ko, Where Did You Go?

It has been more than a week now, and my voice is still missing in action. I have not heard my natural voice for more than a week now. I blamed all the stress and the sleepless nights for losing my voice. But now, it has become worse, maybe because of the cough. I was so stupid to leave my umbrella at home, I was brave enough to walk in light drizzle, at the end of the day, I was sneezing all over, I thought it was the allergies, but it was not.

I miss you my voice. When are you coming back? I need you badly. Please come back. I promise to drink more than 8 glasses of water in a day. I promise not to drink cold water when I finish my consecutive lectures. I promise to rest at once I feel tired. I promise not to overuse you during the times when I don't really need to talk. WaaaH! Please come back.

Drama ba?

New Hair Color

It's been a long time since I colored my hair, in fact, the ends of my hair were of the shade of blonde due to the hair dye. If not for Janine's wedding on Sunday, I'd still postpone coloring my hair until Christmas. I didn't change the color much, its still in the shade of brown and red, sort of chestnut brown. I immediately took a picture to see if it was a little different...

Hmmmm.. may pinag - iba ba?

Yehey! walang pinag - iba!

A Not - So Traditional Bridal Shower

Months of preparation has finally paid off. Janine's friends from her work made it to the party, Janine's high school friends were also there, and of course, Mina and Eliza were also there. Too bad, some people whom I expected to be there did not make it because of unavoidable circumstances. But just the same, we all had a blast!

Three Destinations, One Night

Destination One: a hotel in Makati..

We had the traditional shower party in the hotel, had a few traditional games, we taught Janine a few traditional things (wink! wink!). I hosted the games (since the games were my not-so-brilliant idea). My voice was really raspy (still is!) from all the stress and sleepless nights (I actually think I sounded very manly but very sexy!). It was nice of Janine to be so "game" (read: not so conservative) with what we asked her to do. The cake was absolutely delicious and so was the food!

Destination Two: The Unspeakable Destination

I can not talk about this destination but we had a great laugh! I was able to experience a few things that I thought I would never have the opportunity to do. It was weird but it was very exciting, really, really exciting!

Destination Three: Off the Grill, Timog, Quezon City

We hurried off to OTG to catch Janine's favorite band (aside from Side A of course!), 7th Soul. We caught the last set but too bad, they were only able to sing 3 songs, the set was full of request for jammers. I think the band liked it a little because they all sounded under the weather.

Back to the Hotel...

After watching 7th Soul, we took Eliza home to his wonderful husband (thank you Jeff for understanding!), and Benjie Girl to her home in Manila, we headed back to the hotel. We ate left over cake, left over food and watched the DVD that was a gift for Janine. We (or I) slept at around 5am. Janine woke up early, around 6:30am because she has to go to this interview. I left the hotel at around 10 am. Mina was left all alone because she's waiting for her loving boyfriend.

I was tired but very happy. My heartfelt thanks to Janine's friends from work, her high school friends, Mina and Mommy Eliza. This would have not been successful if not for you.. (tear!) Thanks a lot and God bless you! (",)

Not Going to Hong Kong

I really feel bad about not going to Hong Kong this November. I have prepared for this trip financially and emotionally. It's really too bad that I suddenly had to use the money I saved up for this trip. Too bad that I have to postpone this trip, a trip that I have been excited about these past few months. Anyway, I just hope my "back up" plan would work and I'd still be able to go by the end of the year. I will be praying for that.

Patience

THIS IS MY PRAYER WHEN MY PATIENCE IS BEING TESTED:
God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's ME.

Super tinetest talaga ang patience ko, nalulungkot nga ako kasi I know that it is not me. Super patient talaga ako, LALO NA SA MGA FRIENDS KO, many can attest to that. Yung normal na tao ay maghuhurumintado na sa asar at galit, ako, I'll take it as a joke pa. Ganun ako kapatient sa mga KAIBIGAN ko. Pero ngayon, feeling ko, umaabot na ako sa limit ko. I just don't think a friend should try to test another friend's patience, that's so "un-friend-like". Nakakafrustrate lang kasi sinusubukan niya talaga ang patience ko. Eh kung ako kaya ang gumanun sa kanya, subukan ko kaya ang patience nya? Ano kaya ang mafi-feel niya? May attitude problem nga lang siguro siya, ginagawa ko talaga ang lahat para intindihin siya. Pero sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa at iniisip ko ngayon, masama ba na hilingin na huwag naman niya subukin ang pasensya ko? Na huwag muna siya umarte gaya ng inaarte niya ngayon? Hindi ko hinihingi na magbago siya. Pero huwag muna niya ako subukan ngayon. Dahil naiinis na talaga ako, at mapupuno na talaga ako.

Confessions of an Addict - KDrama Addict!

Hi! I'm Maruth, and I am an addict. Super addict to Korean Dramas. My addiction is so bad. I really hate it. I am currently watching Coffee Prince, and I am on the 14th episode, where all the episodes need to be downloaded to my laptop. I was (still am) patient with all the downloads! I slept 15 hours in the last 72 hours because of this addiction. I need to rest from watching these dramas, because I have so much to accomplish this month. I needed to get it out of my chest. I AM AN ADDICT. (",)
