Client for Mr Jun
In order to snap out of my lethargic state, I had my hair trimmed, today. I swear this conversation happens all the time, no matter if I'm a regular client at their salon.
attendant: is that naturally curly or did you have it permed?
Me: nope 100% natural.
attendant: why don't you have it rebonded?
Me: Ah no thanks, I prefer it curly/wavy.
attendant: How about having it relaxed?
Me: Nah, it's ok.
attendant: It doesn't cost much, it's much cheaper than a rebond.
Me: Yes, I know but I don't like too much chemicals on my hair. Besides tomorrow when I take a shower, it's back to being curly.
Attendant: I guess you are used to it by now.
Me: Oh yes, absolutely!
So don't bother convincing me to have my hair straightened, I'm too stubborn (matigas ang ulo) and nothing can change my mind.

Ok I'm back
So what have I been up to?
Nothing much.
My muse has abandoned me.
I can't come up with a worthy post.
I'm unmotivated. I'm lazy.
I'm uninspired. I'm stressed out.
I'm breaking out, literally.
Pimples have taken over!
I can't believe I still get them.
At my ripe age of 36.
But on the bright side, I'm feeling better.
I still cough a bit, though.
Even if I've drank enough pills to ruin the lining of my stomach.
I can't seem to shake it off.
So life goes on ... cough, zits et al!
I got work to do. (deadlines galore!)
Movies (Finding Neverland, The Wedding Date) to watch.
Pamper.myself.treatments to indulge in. (haircut, derma, spas)
A loft to renovate. (tiling the floor, repainting the rooms)
And a blind date to plan. (No comment!)
So I need to be in fighting form.

I'm sick
Yes I am! grrr!
So even if I wanted to work this weekend, I failed.
Thus I won't meet the deadline. Nice going!
But stubborn babe that I am, believe me, I tried!
Even if my lungs were on fire when I coughed.
Even if my head was going to explode.
Even if I was burning with fever.
So now I'm going to hibernate and rest.
Stay in bed as long as I want. I need to recover fast.
I got things to do. Emails to answer. Bills to pay.
Housechores to do. You get my point.
Yes ok I'm off to bed and drift away to this song.
Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart
Michael McDonald's version
You're alone all time
Does it ever puzzle you, do you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend?
Why fool yourself?
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart,
hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart,
hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So jump on in, head over heels, and fall right in
It's never too late too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart,
hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart,
hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Yes I am! grrr!

Royal Wedding
So it goes that after almost 33 years of loving her Prince Charming, she finally gets to marry him. It was such an elegantly solemn ceremony. I have to admit though that I adored the late Princess Diana. But I believe that such a love story which spanned beyond 3 decades does deserve a happy ending. It seems like a fairy tale. But in the end, true love prevailed. How can you not love that?

Interview Meme
I volunteered to be interviewed by Misty.
1. I know you also have a movie blog. What is your absolute favorite movie of all time?
Well I have a long list of favorites movies but if I have to choose one it would have to be "City of Angels". Nicholas Cage & Meg Ryan starred in this movie. It's about an angel giving up his immortality to spend eternity on earth with a woman. Yet towards the end of the movie, she perishes in a fatal accident so no happy ending for them. But at least he got to spend some time with her. I appreciated the film because it is about life, about taking risks. To face the consequences for the choices/decisions we make during the course of our life.
2. You recently took a trip. Is there anywhere you'd like to take a trip to that you haven't been to yet?
I've traveled far and wide so now I feel the need to explore my own country. Visit places like Bohol, Baguio, Cebu, Davao, Pagudpud etc. Overseas, I'd want to see the Pyramids in Giza and set my foot in New York City.
3. What's your dream job?
This has changed throughout the years, I have always been fancy free with regards to my career. Never been too ambitious nor overly motivated to establish a fulfilling career. I've dreamt of being during various phases of my life an interior designer, a personal shopper and lately an interpreter/translator. The latter being someone who would translate documents from one language to another. Not the one who orally translates because I would stutter and make a fool of myself.
4. Is blogging just as important to you now as it was when you first started?
I used to blog in my sleep. Yes, really I would be in bed about to doze off then remember something. I'd get up, switch on my computer and blog right then and there in case I forget about it in the morning. But nowadays, I've hit a snag and can't seem to blog anything worth posting. So I may not post as often as before, but yes it is still important for me because I get to record my little moments and turn them into memories.
5. I'm pregnant. So of course, everything is about ME. I cannot think of a name for my child. So please, give me your top 5 baby girl names. =)

I'm supposed to interview 5 people now but if nobody volunteers, it's fine by me. You can still interview me, if you want. You are not under any obligation, it's just for fun!

"I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One."

Pope John Paul II, 1920-2005
I've visited Vatican City twice. In 1982 with the family and the second time in 2001 with my sister. We were fortunate to have been blessed by the Holy Father. An experience I will cherish for life.
May a choir of angels welcome him in their midst and may God grant his humble servant, eternal rest.
Amen.

Friday's Feast
Appetizer - Describe your week in one word.
Interesting!
Soup - Tell about a funny practical joke that you've played on someone (or that was played on you!).
I was a very mischievous kid. I once left my younger sister (who was about 6 yrs old then) in the middle of the park. But I was watching over her the whole time hiding behind the tree. When she panicked and started to cry I couldn't bear it so I came back to get her. Me, being the ate (the eldest) my parents scolded me and told me to be more responsible.
Salad - Name someone you had a crush on when you were a kid.
I was the only Asian in my class and I had this huge crush on this blond haired, blue eyed classmate of mine named John.
Main Course - If you were a member of royalty, what would your title be?
Daphne Laura, Her Royal Cuteness
Dessert - What colors are the clothes you are wearing today?
I went to first Friday Mass today to pray for the health of the Santo Papa, The Pope. Then I watched Vin Diesel make a fool of himself in "The Pacifier" but hey I love him. I wore jeans, an orange t-shirt with my orange bag.
