    Dream About Paris

    October 07, 2013 3
    Dream About Paris
    10/05/2013 - I dreamt I went to Paris with my cousin and sister. It looks fake in the dream though but will tell you guys anyway. So I was with my cousin and I don't really know where we're heading but then after some time, with people who were coming down from the stairs, I realized we're in Paris and will go up the Eiffel Tower. Weird because I can see my neighbors going down the stairs and it's like normal stairs and not the stairs the Tower actually has.


    And then we realized we have passes but then in my dream, you still have to have an electronic card for some reason and then you can use the card for like ever and then when I saw my childhood friend's brother go down, he very kindly gave me two electronic cards. So that would mean we could go up now. But then what did we decide to do? Eat! I remember taking pictures from the ground and you know how I know it's fake? Because the Tower that I saw is between two tall buildings! Like, what?

    I remember taking photos of this one and I made sure to take a lot because it's Paris and I don't know when I can come back and stuff and yeah. I was even thinking that I were in Vegas that time but then I was like, NO! Paris, PARIS, PARIS! LOL.

    source
    So we entered a mall and decided to eat and my cousin even have the guts to shop for candies! So I remember having Shaved Ice and then I saw my sister enter the mall and eat. And then I asked if she have the electronic card but I can't remember her answer. And then when we were about to go out, I woke up. I'm subconsciously blaming my cousin's candy shopping that we were not able to go up the tower.

    So Going Back Here

    July 24, 2013 0
    So Going Back Here
    Just a little bit of kwento. I went to SM Manila right after I accompanied my friend to buy a compiled reviewer for the board exam and then I didn't want to go home right away also because I was a little bit panicky yesterday. One thing I should remember is to never ask people how far they have gone with their review. It makes me want to cry so I'm better off alone. Anyway. 


    Well actually, I went to SM Manila thinking I would try French Bakery's Macaroons but unfortunately, they don't sell it there or they probably run out of it or something but that macaroon tasting didn't happen so I was like roaming around and then searching for a tea/coffee/yogurt place instead and voila! Saw this little tea place beside the cinema. I was like, so going there!! I'm a lucky soul. 

    So luckily, I brought my notes with me and I decided to study a little bit whilst I was there. And what I like about this place is that when I take a brake or whenever I would look up just to rest my neck, I would see this art piece and then I would feel the determination rushing through my veins. Like, no joke. Maybe  all I need is an art like this and post it on my wall as well. Mmm... 


    I got a Blueberry Yogurt which was awesome! But like any other yogurt drink, it doesn't taste right anymore after many sips so yeah. You know like when it's too bitter already like, on the tongue? No?

    Paris and Prada

    May 31, 2013 0
    Paris and Prada
    Well actually, this is just a Paris appreciation post. Haha and a little bit of The Devil Wears Prada review. I downloaded it this week and was able to watch it the other day so let's keep moving, shall we? We shall. Okay my thought after watching the movie. It actually really inspired me to pursue my dreams. Whatever that is. Okay this is kind of vague but I got it. I got it. Or at least I think.


    The Devil Wears Prada approves that Paris is the biggest deal of the year so whatever and for some reason, I can really identify with Andrea pretty much. The main story is that she got hired to be Miranda's assistant in New York and even though it isn't an easy job (AT ALL), and she's not really into fashion (when she applied) she stayed and worked hard because she had a vision. A vision of meeting other people through the job. Other people that might get her somewhere else. Good thinking. I really think that her dream to be a journalist is the same as my dream to travel. So it's almost the same. I don't really mind what work I should do and stuff. As long as it would take me to the places I want to be, then be it. 


    Paris isn't sported as much in the film as much as I wanted to but I was able to pick up some life lessons and that's just awesome. Paris at night is a win-win though. Me likey. There should be more films showing the beautiful city at night. Midnight in Paris is one but that's like so midnight that I didn't really appreciate the lights and stuff anymore. Although I did love the vintage feel of it.


    My favorite character got to be Emily, I think. Because she's so dedicated and she even helped Andrea to survive that job at the beginning. And she likes Paris. I don't know if this is a bad thing or good thing but I don't see myself as Miranda Priestly as much. Sure I used to want to own a fashion company but now I actually can see myself more being Andrea. Mmm...I just think that being Miranda is like being in control of everything. It can be good or bad though.  If you're in control, then you can do everything you want without having to consider other's opinion. It's also a bad thing for me because it might get a little one sided and if all else fails, you know that it's you to blame. And knowing that you can control the situation, you would probably just blame someone else. Which once again, you can. So yeah. Although Miranda's  character is somehow likeable, I can't understand her completely. I love that she wants the best for her twins though. Let alone that unpublished Harry Potter manuscript. OMG! So yeah. At the end, Andrea found a job that's more of her style and she said she learned a lot from her previous job and that's what I want as well. Learn. Good vibes!

    Hers and Mine.

    March 15, 2013 0
    Hers and Mine.
    Like I said, I was catching up with movies and this time, I'm gonna review Bourne Identity. Well not really review though. Just gonna say something about it and what my opinions on it are and stuff like that. Actually, I watched When in Rome before Bourne but it was so kinda walang kwenta kaya 'wag nalang. Haha. This one is like an old film na. Released 2002 pa. Pero anyways. 

    So it is about Jason Bourne, an assassin who lost his memory. He was found floating by some fishermen sort of. The guy who was cutting his body sort of found out that he got shot and yeah good thing there's someone in the boat who knows how to remove it from his body and all that stuff. And then the interesting part was there was a tiny laser kind of bullet found in his hip and when the doctor/that someone flashed it on the wall, it revealed his bank number. Okay so fast forward.


    The cops were everywhere looking for him and he don't know why. He still got the skills though. Fighting and all that self defense stuff. Then he had to go to Paris but riding a train's too dangerous and everything else so he followed the girl in the front of the line when he was in the US Embassy and kind of heard her problem that she's broke and all that. So he offered him 10 grand for a ride to Paris and that he'll give him another 10 when they get there. And then the girl kind of put herself in danger by actually doing that but even though Jason Bourne, the assassin I was talking about already instructed her to go to the police and say everything she knows to clear her name but she didn't. Oh well. And so she was then part of the target. Like, she went with him everywhere and then she was given a chance to go away with Jason Bourne's remaining money and even though she doesn't want to go, she did.

    Jason Bourne then fixed things and when he was able to, he was able to find the girl and yeah. Happy ending.

    Doomsday. Random Ramblings.

    December 23, 2012 0
    Doomsday. Random Ramblings.

    I really really appreciate this picture because it's like a good representation of how we should live our lives.

    Like, the apocalypse didn't happen. Well not that I actually believe it will but things like that can't be avoided. It's not like we have a contract to finish here on Earth. We will leave here if time comes. It's REALITY.

    Want to know what we did? Like, we were actually on duty that night before the 21st and we happily welcomed it and actually exchaged gifts like a boss. Hahaha

    On 2040, it was recently said that the asteroid would actually miss the Earth. It was predicted beforehand that there would be a 0.2% chance of it hitting it. But are we sure? I'm not superstitious or anything but that 0.2% happens every time. Every second, every minute, every hour. That danger is real. But that doesn't mean we have to live in fear. That doesn't mean that we actually have to be so paranoid that something might fall over our head and kill us. With that being said, we shouldn't be afraid to take risks.

    What if the most awaited moment of our life is about to happen and we're just afraid to see because of hoax warnings? What do we do? Be scared? I don't think so. And I actually don't mean that we be careless and all that. I mean, it's good to take warnings but sometimes we just have to gauge whatever we have to gauge first.


    This is what I'm talking about. It's kind of 'that thinking'. Yeah? I think it's time we work on our bucket list or whatever list we have and cross out stuff and all that. I mean, it's always a good time to get started. We could slow down, and breathe. But never stop and give up.

    Favorite Eiffel Looks.

    October 22, 2012 0
    Favorite Eiffel Looks.
    So recently, I've reached 1000 pictures of Eiffel Tower. I don't know why I did it but I did it anyways. I actually made a picture/video presentation of it and yeah, it's just nice to look at it.

    If you're interested in watching, gotta post a link to it soon.

    Just to kind of summarize it all. Here are my top 5 looks of the Eiffel Tower that I did with my daily obsession of looking at it and saving it to my phone.

    CLOUDY EIFFEL
    For some reason, I get really really excited when there are changes or stuff on how the clouds are formed. I mean, I don't know. Is it just me or what? Oh the little things in this life. 

    CANDY CORN EIFFEL
    I don't know but for some reason, I am really fascinated by colors. Like, I love how the colors are put up in this one. Someone amazing is really behind every elements of this earth. And the world. In that case. Just saying. And generally, I have a thing for sunsets. 

    MOONING EIFFEL
    I love how visible the moon and the stars are in this one. Say what to not much pollution. Oh well. This picture really says something about the rest of the world. 

    LIGHTER EIFFEL
    This is just so magical of an event that happens everyday. Oh how I wish to live in Paris.

    CHRISTMAS EIFFEL
    I love the vibes! Like, will never go amiss. This is just so fantastic. I can't even. There's so much feels! LOL. How can people in Paris sleep? I would probably do Eiffel Tower watch all day long and stuff.  Have a nice day! All of you.

    Tag Answers. :)

    October 13, 2012 1
    Tag Answers. :)
    I've been tagged by the fab Pink Mommy, and here are my answers to the questions.

    1. Do you wear makeup everyday?

    - Nope. I don't actually wear make up that much. Not full make up at least. On normal days, I would wear concealer on some concealable flaws and stuff and I would just put powder to kind of set it. But when I'm running late, got no time for that. Just my tinted lip balm and I'm good to go.

    2. Most favorite makeup product (only 1)

    - I would say concealer. Thank goodness I am not a smoker so my lips are kind of okay without tinted lip balm but that would be my second. Ha! See what I did there? LOL.



    3. iPhone or BB (blackberry)?

    -  iPhone! I actually thought of buying Blackberry before I bought my very first iPhone but yeah I don't know what happened. No regrets!

    4. Favorite body products?

    - Since I'm not a morning person and I usually wake up late and got not much to prepare everyday, I got no time to put on stuff on my body but when I do, I just spray with my Victoria's Secret Body Mist. As much as I would like to apply lotion, it actually troubles me that it'll take time to dry and that I can't put on my uniform right away. On off days though, or which I would like to call the "MOISTURE DAY", I actually bother to put on lotion, lip balm, hair mask, face mask, and stuff. Okay this second paragraph is actually irrelevant. LOL.



    5. Favorite perfume/cologne?

    -  Victoria's Secret scents are really my type. As of now, I'm finishing this. As you can see, I'm running very low of this. Might last me a month or two. I think. Or three.



    6. Where do you usually hangout?
    - At home. Internship is really exhausting and really sucking the energy out of me so I would just stay home to kind of replenish and stuff.

    7. Boyfriend/Girlfriend vs. Bestfriends?


    - I have a picture to explain.



    8. What/Who are you for the next 5 years?

    - A better version of me. Hopefully was able to go to Paris at least.


    I actually don't know much about what will happen to me or who will I become by then. Ugh, life. Hopefully I'd be a practicing Medical Technologist by then too. And doing other stuff as well.


    9. MAC or Nars


    - I actually don't own any NARS and I don't like M.A.C all that much so I don't know.


    10. Moisturizer or toner?

    - Toner! :) My skin is actually oily so it kind of have its natural moisture already so I don't want to interfere so that might bring back my very bad bad skin again. I actually used moisturizer before and it kind of broke me out. I should have used a moisturizer that's specifically for oily skin though. But whatever. I know it's very important to moisturize but whatever. Will do that soon! Once my skin is full healed.



    11. Eyeliner or mascara?


    - Mascara. For some reason, well...I actually used to wear eyeliner a lot way back high school but I didn't realize how odd it looked on me. Well not odd. Probably "inappropriate" since I was in high school that time. So yeah. If not for the trouble of removing mascara, I would probably wear it everyday since my lashes are actually short and boring.

    500 days of Eiffel Tower.

    August 22, 2012 0
    500 days of Eiffel Tower.
    Just so you know, I'm obsessed with Paris! Well, France as well. But mostly Paris. Okay, Eiffel Tower in particular. So I downloaded this APP like, so many months ago which shows live stream of the world's most famous landmarks and stuff so yeah! BINGO!

    I don't know why but I feel so connected with the Eiffel Tower. Don't you worry guys! I'm not gonna marry it or something.  First of all! It's taken, isn't it?

    So yeah, my adoration starts here!


    The structure is sophisticated yet simple. If that makes sense.

    So yeah, I used to really think of going to France (Paris) everyday before and yeah I don't know. Like, I used to research where to eat, to ride, to go to and stuff like that. I even studied French on my own. Obsessed like that, yeah? LOL. But then it all kind of stopped a little bit when internship started. Boo yah! Not really stopped though. Like, it mellowed.

    Look! I even cross stitched it because of obsession and stuff.


    I'm really proud of this by the way. A friend from Sydney told me that it looks like some spider and stuff but yeah. Whatever! LOL.

    So you might be wondering why the title is like that so yeah. I tried to save all the live stream photos and just right at this very moment, I've reached 500! YAY! Actually, I based it from the movie 500 Days of Summer. But irregardless! LOL.

    Here it goes ladies and gents. 500 faces of Eiffel Tower.


    Awesome, right? Like, for real! So yeah. Hopefully to post a Paris trip blog soon! ;) Hey did you notice some people chilling over their veranda? LOL. I felt an instant connection to them when I saw them on the cam. LOL. So anyways. That'll be all for this post!

    The APP is called Earth Cam by the way. Just in case you're wondering. Have a nice day!
