I have finally gone out with my team again. It's been awhile and I didn't realize I miss everyone. Yeah we do have fun in training and the people I directly interact with are fun people but I miss people in Ops. I miss my TL and my teammates. I wanted to say no to the team potluck last Friday, in fact I think I did back out at the last minute but Wena convinced me to go haha so I did and I'm glad. I just hated leaving them so early because I still had a class. I have posted a snippet of the affair.

Wik2x's solo pictures
with his bestfriends


with the grumpy bear Mumble
with the pink pig Gloria

I got this cute little baby elephant yesterday as a birthday present from Wena and Mik thus the name Wik2x. I decided to formally introduce Wik2x to the rest of the world today. Sort of a coming-to-age celebration but it's just going to be with me and dada. It's about time Mumble and Gloria play with another friend, how cute!

NAME: Wik2x
AGE: (baby forever)
GENDER: male
BIRTH PLACE: Kawasan
PARENTS: Rowena Yee and Kim Carlo Tan
FAVE FOOD: Meatballs and Pizza
FAVE DRINK: Milk
EXPRESSION: duh!
BESTFRIENDS: Mumble and Gloria
SAYINGS: "real men wear violet"

Some of my friends and I went to Kawasan Falls to celebrate my 25th Birthday yesterday. To those who have been to that place, you would know that there is a major hiking spree involve. It's my 2nd time there, the 1st time was with Wena when we went there right after shift and I ended up with no undies on my way home hahaha

There were 7 of us yesterday, Dada, Wena, Eds, Michy, Mik, Kim and yourstruly. Everyone got wet and wild except for Mik and his sister Kim, I think they just went there to take unadulterated pictures of themselves hihihi

Eds was the official photographer of the group and I'll just grab pictures from his site the moment he posts it. Wena and Mik gave me a purple elephant as a present, so cute! It has a really long name so changed it to Wik2x hihihi in honor of the parents (Wena & Mike). You might be wondering what dada gave me; he gave me a lovely Timex watch because I don't have a watch for the reason that I use my phone to check the time.

We packed up our things and started hiking back to the road at 4pm yesterday. Got back to Cebu at 8pm and we were all so tired because the ride home was a killer! The moment I got home I went to bed right away to just relax and then shower later but when I woke up it was already 6am hahaha

I promised Tadz I will really do everything I can to contribute later and tomorrow. I will write about the Post-Summer Outing on Sunday guys, with picz of course!

No need for too much talk guys, just want to give you a snippet of Wena in the ensemble I chose for her. I have a penchant for purple these days so I just needed to throw in some purple in the dress hehe I wanted to do a retro pin-up for her hair but she has a whacky, rebellious bunch I had to come up with something that only takes 10 minutes because she’s already late haha thank God for bobbie pins. Would you believe it's the first time she ever had her eyebrows shaped? Oh I love the big bracelet it is so glam. She looked awkward walking in those shoes hehe she's not used to wearing high heels but it's all good.

Oh I love taggies & I have another one from Lourie, tnx girl!

Despite the bad weather, Wena and I were still able to shop from head-to-toe for the perfect dress, shoes, and accessories she’ll wear to the wedding she’s attending this Sunday. We were at SM the whole afternoon, oblivious to what’s happening outside. I did hear that Cebu was at signal number something and it was Bagyong Frank. I’m not sure if I heard right though, I mean I refuse to listen, watch and read the news because I find the content to frustrating for my comfort sometimes.

Back to the more carefree stuff, Dada had to come along and since he can never understand girls and shopping haha he had the goofy and perplexed expression as we raid every shop. With how we sprinted all over SM, I would say shopping is a good cardio workout. I think we have pretty much covered a respectable distance altogether before going for the dress at July. Wena couldn’t really decide so I made the decision for her; a turquoise ensemble with a dash of purple accent, really lovely! I will also do her make up on Sunday and I can’t wait to get my hands on her eyebrows. I have been itching to shape it since we first met! I wonder how she will look with make up and everything nice on? ^_^

I love cute, shiny, shimmery trinkets so I was just really happy I got this tag from Dez ^_^
Now it's my turn to spread the appreciation and friendship weeehhh!
Passing this tag on to Wena, Mier, Tchel and Caffeinated Muse, hope you will like it as much as I do!

After watching Juno this morning, I couldn’t help but think how I would have done it if I were Juno. Well first stop I’m sure my parents will not be as understanding and merciful as hers have been. If you have not seen this movie, please do and I swear it’s going to crack you up. Those who have seen the movie know that Juno Macguff is a 16 year old girl who unfortunately got pregnant after she decided to have sex (ouch!) with her best guy buddy Paulie Bleeker played by Michael Cera. What started with a chair, ended with a chair. But what makes the movie outstanding is the wistful comedy in between. The growing up process or as Juno puts it, “dealing with stuff beyond my maturity level”.

The movie is full of funny lines and I have so many favorites to even make mention. I started laughing in the opening line when Ellen Page (Juno MacGuff) yelled at her dog, “GEEZ Banana! Shut your freakin' gob ok!”haha shame on you Banana!

I had a funny time at the office when I showed up wearing the exact same blouse as my friend MJ. It was a stripped brown and beige blouse. The only difference was the stripe direction. My stripes were slanted for the reason that I made one sleeve dangle off my left shoulder and hers were horizontal. People were like, "are you girls gonna dance together?"

Some girls would have freaked out but I just found the incident hilarious. Reminds me of a time when my friends and I would purposely buy identical clothes and wear’em together. I remember doing that stunt with Leah, Jackie and Wena. We would shop together and choose same items in different colors to make the contrast.

Today is our wave's 2nd anniversary but I didn't make it to the celebration just like last year. Ask me why people. Well dada won't give me my phone and he knows very well I can't leave the house without my phone. I'm so angry I can kill someone right now. So instead of committing murder, I thought why not blog about it and this time around I won't let him stop me from doing so. I have wanted to blog about the several times we fought but he just stops me everytime. I don't know if it embarrasses him of what not. So anyway, he is packing his things as I type.

(after what seemed like an eternity of yelling, bitching and cussing)

Well we ended up bingeing at Larsian. Two angry people eating like there’s no tomorrow.

How many of you ladies know a man who is far more vain than you? They use concealers and carry face powders, lipgloss, comb, and perfumes in their clutch bags. I’m not talking about gay men who really go to the nines making sure they look their most beautiful. I mean the metrosexual men who are straight men; think David Beckham the Metrosexual God. Yet like gay men, metrosexuals’ aesthetic sense is more intensified than the regular guy.

So what is your say on metrosexuals? I’ll blurt out my thoughts later but for now let’s hear it from other women. Because I’m naturally inquisitive (ehem) I asked a few friends at work during my lunch and this is what I’ve come up.
AISAH: Reports Analyst “I don’t like men who are metrosexuals because I am not use to seeing men more conscious of their physical appearance and hygiene than women. I can associate them to being gays sometimes. I also feel that they are prone to be attracted to men as well because they act like women. Funny, but they actually intimidate me. hehehe..”
MJ: TR “I think its ok as long as the guy sets limitations. Like never retouch in front of me or in public and never force me to become as vain as him”
CINDY: TR Metrosexual men for me would be considered 80% gay and 20% man. Guys being so conscious of looking good and clean all the time is normal. But, bringing a mirror? Using a lip gloss? I don’t think that’s usual. I do know some guys who use lip glosses but only when the weather is too hot or too cold. They don’t necessarily have to bring one with them; they only borrow from one of their girlfriends. Having a metro sexual guy friend is nice. At least they can relate to the girls’ beauty regimen topics, etc. Just like having gay friends, it’s easier to talk to them since they’re more sensitive to women’s thoughts and emotions.

I want my guy like a rough-cut diamond. Someone not full of himself and who can get his hands dirty when the occasion calls for it. I don’t want a guy who looks like he is going to a photo shoot all the time (leave that one to me). There can’t be 2 vain people in a relationship, I can’t stand it. It’s either you’re vain or I am but definitely not both of us.

I suddenly had the urge to tinker with my blog. While looking for a new template, I saw this template I'm using now and fell head over heels right away. I messed up big time when I tried to edit my blog though and I couldn't revert to my old one for whatever reason. All I got was a blank white page. Did that ever happen to any of you? I panicked. I was so frustrated and angry at myself that I cried.

Thank you Windows Live though coz I was chatting with my friend Wena and she helped! She was at least able to get me up one notch with one of those ready-to-use blogger templates. I was still worried though especially when she IM'd she had to leave for work huhuhu I felt lost and helpless. I just sat in front of my PC for awhile, scared of touching anything. I promised I will never ever experiment with my blog but I don't what came over me though coz despite the butterflies in my stomach I still TRIED to continue fixing what I did and I think things are looking up. I just need to recover the deleted widgets and stuff. It's all downhill from here, I hope.

Lesson learned: If it's not broken don't fix it.

So it's payday again much to the excitement of me and my friends. Meca, Noella and I are thinking of getting a hair treatment but we can not agree on which treatment to get tsk! tsk! It's moments like this when I just love being a girl. I mean I can spend days trying to decide and everybody thinks it's alright coz I’m a girl (hah). If I decide to change my mind on something at the spur of the moment, I’m excused coz again I’m a girl lolz! So everybody expects us to be fickle-minded but I love the look on people's faces when occasionally I do something very unexpected like come up with a decision right away and stick to it ^_^hmmm, now what to wear?

This tag is from wena and I'm sharing it to everyone who wants in, feel free to grab this ^_^

Wena's back from her trip to Singapore and I promised to fetch her so I tagged Momi Cherry along coz I didn't want to go ride a taxi alone at 3:30am to go to the airport. Something about it gives me the chills. So anyway we go there at exactly 4am coz wena said that was when she will be arrive. To no surprise, we waited for over an hour because the 5J 548 arrived at quarter past 5am. While we waited for wena, cherry and I had the time of our lives talking about everything lolz and I mean we did cover everything except politics.

I got a chinese inspired gold bag from wena which goes really well with some of my clothes, dada got a cool souvenir expression shirt and cherry got a pig stuffed animal ironically name "pig" what are the odds lolz.
