GOOD READS

(FRIGGIN LATE POST LAH SORRY AJUJU NIGHTSHIFT MAKES ME GROGGY FOR THE BETTER HALF OF THE DAY)

Moving on, most or rather all of my friends know how big of a book nerd that I am. I hoard books much like how shopaholics go crazy during mall sales. I mean, I have been thinking of asking my dad if our room (I share it with my sister) can accommodate some book shelves so that I can put some of my preciousss books there. But then since we're all lazeh house people (and no no to dust bunnies eating my books) that idea never surfaced and brought to life lmao

lazy people for the win lmao no jk kthxbai

So what's the actual point of my book blabbering post? Most of the books that I've been collecting are series and it is a bit hard to keep tabs on the ones that I've managed to complete. I've already managed to buy some books twice (fail, I know) and I felt so bad because I could've used the money to buy a different one or to grab my peborito starbucks drink. So Camille told me about this website where you can check all the books (known to the world obviously) and assort them to the ones you've read, the one/s you are currently reading, and the ones you want to read in the future. What's even more cool about it is that the website can even give you recommendations based on the books you've rated and read. That way, you don't have to go the hassle of finding out good reads since the website patterns it to the categories you're already comfortable with.

Go check out the cool website here and it might just fuel the book bug within you! 

My preference in books ranges from kiddie books to drop dead sexy  Northman novels <3

ONE WORD

A twitter friend of mine stumbled upon this website which I'm hoping could help me improve the structure of my sentences. I think they only give out one word per day and you have to construct a paragraph, a haiku, a poem or whatever it is that will first stumble in your mind. You are only given one minute as a time frame to type out all those rainbows and unicorns. After that sixty second time frame, you are also given a last chance to to edit whatever it is you wrote before you press submit. Now girls and boys, NO CHEATING at this part because I think you should've given all that you can think and type off in the first sixty seconds because that's how the website works. You could just prolly polish some grammar errors here and there but srsly no adding of additional thoughts )8

Now it's back to reality for everyone, happy tuesday! 

SERIES - Once Upon A Time

Everything you've ever read about Fairytales is true. The residents of Storybrooke are living proof...

This is my latest tv series addiction which is currently on going in the ABC Channel. As I am writing this post, they are just about to show episode 10 in the US of A so I have to wait for some time (more like a week) before it airs in our country! I am a huge fan of the fairy tales and this is an excellent depiction of some of the well known tales that we loved since our childhood days.

Okay, here are the important characters that you should watch out from the series! I promise not to go overboard with picture posting lest I spoil some scenes so you just have to watch it!

Here are the main characters from Storybrooke. The plot of this story (to put in simpler terms) is that the Evil Queen put a temporary memory spell all over the Fairytale realm and sent them to the AU setting in the modern time (Storybrooke). Side note, the series has this amazing transition from one realm to another. Smooth and not at all confusing. I also love the fact that they name places or things in the most unexpected way that makes you think 'wtf pun intended much?' The daughter of Snow White apparently is the one destined to break them free from the curse and revert things back to normal. Of course, it's not as easy as I make it sound lmao.

Emma Swan

Emma here is the main character (also the protagonist) of the series. Real spunky, that gal. She's the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming and yes, she's the one who's suppose to be the curse breaker. It was kind of weird seeing her and then her parents all at the same age bracket (sounds like the movie "In Time"). Also, if you get the gist of her family history later on you can see how semi-dafuq it is. One of the twisted bananas here is that her biological son is adopted by the Mayor who I shall introduce next~

Evil Queen/Mayor/Regina

SHE IS MY FAVORITE OUTTA ALL OF THEM HANDS DOWN! 

I loved her right from the first episode. All my friends who are also watching this series only like her because she does her job as the main antagonist excellently. I think so too but she is obviously more than that! She can kick ass (in the Fairytale realm) and does her Mayor duties to a T. Not only that but fml she is downright sexy in both worlds (couture goth gowns and corporate outfits) and there is seriously something dark and commanding in her aura that she gives off whenever you are in her presence. She is the bad person here but you have to give her credit for being so persistent and determined to accomplish what she really wanted. I don't care if she seems plastic whenever she does something good. SHE IS THE VILLAIN DUH.

Snow White/Mary Margaret

I love her in the Fairytale realm! She is real spunky and very far from the demure princess that we are accustomed to watching (Sorry Disney!). She is also an adventurer and can fight her own battles that gives you the idea that she can stand up for herself. But, in the Storybrooke setting, she is both quiet and sensitive to others and can give good advices too. It is a bit sad that she and Prince Charming are separated in the modern time but hopefully they can also get back together just like in the other realm. Watch out how they incorporated the birds into the Storybrooke realm (kinda ticked us who she was actually).

Btw, mad love with her hairdo in the modern time! Pawns the other look any time of the day or mebbe because the Fairytale look is meant to give off that uhmm 80s do?

Prince Charming/John Doe

Who does not know Prince Charming? I guess you could say that he is the embodiment of all the Prince Charmings' we have read in the fairy tales we know. There's a MAD GOOD twist on how he became Prince Charming and that's something I won't spoil for you!^^ The one thing that I do love about him is that he will always find her, no matter where she is :') In the Storybrooke setting, there are still some complications in the way that prevents him from being with Mary Margarette and there is this scene in one of the later episodes where I wanted to smash his head into oblivion but then he will die and byebye happy ending so no chance of doing that to him. Pfft.

He is beginning to grow on me and I think his name in the Fairytale realm is James! (pun pun pun!!!XD)

Rumpelstiltskin/Mr.Gold

One of the most mysterious, complex and interesting characters in both realms. In the Fairytale realm, he is the only person that can match the Evil Queen in terms of magic and darkness. He is also the only one who knows their origins besides the Evil Queen. There's this malevolent aura surrounding him and I still don't understand the fascination that he has for firstborn babies (really, someone enlighten me please). His background also gave me a surprise and somewhat a theory on that firstborn babies fascination. On the other hand, in the Storybrooke realm, he's this cunning, shady rich man everyone is silently afraid of. He appears to be the owner of the town and knows each one lives in it (small town, I assume). As far as the episodes go, his character seems to stand neutral in between the good and the bad. It's still a mystery on what his true motivations are.

There you have it! I purposely didn't include all of the characters to avoid rotten spoil!

Like Emma's kid or that hot stuff Sheriff! Gotta find it out yourselves! The 10th episode awaits!

See you all in Storybrooke!!!

SLAM DUNK LIVE ACTION!

One of my twitter friends posted this video of a live action video from one of my most LOVED animes way back in grade school (not that old rly). It was funny and amusing at the same time that I remembered all the posters, stationaries and laminated cards I used to buy for keepsake. This is actually not my first time seeing a live action of an anime series but definitely the first of my LOVED ones! 

Other anime series that I love prz do a good parody or somethin close 

Anyway, have fun watching! Its good to bring back nostalgic anime memories! o/

Irrashaimase!

Hello! Yet another post from me again ajujuju!^^ Actually this is an overdue post since I was planning to blog it last year but uhm.. well it was the holidays so things (myself included) were really rushed and busy that blogging was pushed at the back of my mind. Like at the very, very back part of my mind.


I think lumabas na nga sa back door  


Anyway, My college friends were suppose to go to Makati and see the INK's exhibit (Ayala Museum, guys) because the illustrations of Mikel (artist extraordinaire friend) were up on display. Since it has been a long time since I saw anyone of them, I decided to stay longer in the area so that we could chitchat for a bit before I head home.


But fml those awesome boys and girls forced wanted me to join them for dinner as well. And they knew my rock hard refusal was easily rebutted by "Libre namin ang pagkain mo okay!"

Wtf why do I automatically agree to these kind of deals huh?!?! 

We went out to eat at Little Tokyo. A street in Pasong Tamo, Makati full of Japanese restaurants!

Pepot and Lulu! Mad cut on him!

Blurry photo T^T trying to remedy by adding filter! Makujepu, my naru-bleach comrade! Haha, Pepot here is trying to call the others because we thought that they got to the place first. Turns out that they were waiting at the other entrance for us! Ajujuju

Obligatory GPOY and college friends! There's another one down at the end 'cos the two boys were late AGAIN! :P

There's my mama sexter there (right) with Bochic eating Kakigori omnomz! Delish dessert you gotta try when you visit there okay? (Available in the Hana restaurant!^^)

Here we have the soon to be Papa Exe and Mama Claire!

Pepot doing the V-sign twice! o/

Exe's mad hot enma ramen at lvl 5! Waitress said that the spicy level of this dish is up to lvl  20! Like seriously, all I could see was RED!!!

YO MAN YOU KIDDIN ME LVL 20 WTF (UNLI-POTION) 

Here we have the okonomiyaki from Kagura! (Dunno what type tho, Mama Claire's order!)

Another good thing about Little Tokyo is that you can cross order from  the other restaurants to fulfill your Japanese  eating extravaganza! Winner!

He also ate the Enma ramen at lvl 3. It was already spicy for me! How Exe managed to eat his lvl 5,  Buddha only knows~  And yes Pepot, you doin just fine with the chopsticks!

There you go! Now this is the grupo picture of the night tyvm!

Hello Laya and Zar! Blurry pic ajujuju camera skills back to lvl 1

And here I end my lovely photo post of  my Little Tokyo venture with my friends!^^ Keep on eating !!

I think I ended up going home at around nine in the evening even though I said that I'd be back home at around five to my dad. OTL But it was sooo worth it because nothing can ever beat good convo, good food, good ambience and awesome friends in one sitting! :)


To know more about Little Tokyo, you guys can just visit their FB Page for more information!

What's in my bag?

I just stole this post from my good friend Berni simply because I wanted to. Char.


I've always been the backpack kind of girl and even though I'm already working, I still use a backpack to stuff my loots in lieu of a handbag or shoulder bag. The things that you see at the picture down below are my staples ones and I never go out of the house without bringing them. (Unless of course, I'm just going down a few blocks away from my house so there's no actual need to bring a bag.^^;)

lo and behold, everything is in the shade of purple

As you can see, I use that bag for a good part of the week. Then I just switch to my satchel bag whenever I dress up in a preppy way or when I don't bring my homemade lunch. What I do like with using a back pack is that you can just shove everything from your tumbler to your psp to your trusty comfy jacket. Also, it balances out the weight on both shoulders rather than lugging a shoulder bag with all its weight on one side instead. As you can see, I always have that tumbler for drinking purposes. I can't leave it in the office 'cause I'm paranoid like that. I'm not that kikay enough so I only bring cologne and lotion. I need lotion due to the harsh climate that we have in the office that make my hands chilled to the bones. lol.


I have short hair, and only somebody kept me from preventing it to have it shorter, I need not a brush in my bag. However, I have that Velma (from Scooby Doo) hairstyle going on right now so I need a brush to make my hair look as if a tornado hasn't struck upon it. Other things in the bag also includes a mirror, rosary from lola, hanky panky, SJ & Big Bang ballers, umbrella, notebook, my osm sauce samsung champ, and two wallets with one comtaining coins and the other containing the rest ;)

Team G goes to Donday!

Disclaimer! All pictures posted below solely belong to Mark and Niffy!

It was actually my TL who suggested that we dine at this place for our kris kingle slash pre-birthday combo treat courtesy of my TL and I. We wanted to do buffet as a team and puff me up the majority easily agreed! Ajujuju, they gave in easily when Ma'am G said that she'd shoulder half the bill and hey I thought this could also be my pre-birthday treat to them as well!


Might as well treat them while christmas bonus is still in one piece yes. 


Aight so it was then decided that we eat at Donday* after our shift. Kuya Allan and Hazen FORTUNATELY brought their cars so the team was split in two groups. I got into Hazen's group and we were the one leading the other car since it was Hazen and Ma'am G who knew where the restaurant was. It was a friday night when we went there so our fingers were crossed in hopes of us getting a table quickly (friday night traffic is no joking matter). None of us (I didn't bring my camera for God know why not reason ajujuju) were also able to take an outside shot of the place so...


I think you could blame us for being hungry and getting straight down to eat when we saw the place 'cos well we went through a friday night traffic so yeah lmao no blaming ajujuju 

Anyway, leggo move on to the piccies!

Donday is actually buffet in a sense that it's unli samgyupsal!*

Like srsly, it had just the right amount of fatty goodness! Gastronomical Explosion!!!

The pork slices are so thin that when it's cooked, its almost similar to a fat bacon!!!

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE I TELL YOU

Here's the obligatory group shot! (Oops, Mark's missing cos he took this one!)

There you go! So that's Kuya Allan, Mark, Ate Glaira and Hazen! Lol, Idk if that glass of iced tea is suppose to be that ginormous wtf

Not exactly sure what I am doing glaring with Camille here. Hello Mama Claire!

Another wtf shot of myself and Camille~ Yes, I'm still munching from the pic above lol

Then it was actually gift exchanging time!

Now I had a bit of trouble with the gift exchanging thing because I was suppose to also pick one for Claire. The first time we drew lots, I had picked myself and Claire! Now the same thing also happened to Markus (Mark's nickie) since he also had to pick one for Ate Glaira. A second round ensued and just my luck that I had to pick myself and Claire once again OTL

FML WAS I  BORN TO MAKE REPETITIVE CHOICES?!?!? 

So I had to bully Camille into exchanging one of mine for hers kekeke~ In the end, Claire had Kuya Gelo, I had Claire and Camille got me! (A bit confusing, sorry lah) As you can see from the photo above, I got Claire two sets of baby unisex shoes! Altho yes both shoes do sway more for the boys BUT it rly does look cute irl so fck off >:D

Camille got me a new book and moustache! Will do a separate post for the book yessir!
(Love this photo btw, makes me look slimmer aighhht!)

Last shot to end the night! Mad fun as always!

*Donday can be found at Malingap St., Teacher's Village, QC Philippines desu.
*Samgyupsal is a korean pork belly meat desu.
