an ethnocentric comment

Cot damn, why does it seem like Filipinos always do it better?!-- more later on the substantial evidence I've compiled that would make me say such a bigoted comment because otherwise, on any given day, I'm a cultural person.

Sin City

Stay tuned for my escapades in Las Vegas and my sore luck at trying to "sin" in this damn city. Damn, why can't I stay up past 3:30 am??? I'm such a schmooze- I've always been the first one to fall asleep at slumber parties when I was a teenager!

Inaugural Ball designers

This is so awesome- top designers have hit their sketchbooks for Michelle Obama's dress on Inauguration Day. I love drawing (when I have time and inspiration) but I've always wanted to develop a knack for clothing design sketching.

My pick for Michelle's dress would have to be a mesh between LaCroix's and Marc Jacob's renditions...oh how I love me some Marc Jacobs paraphernalia!

bounce-back

I totally forgot to mention that I love J. Alba as well- more for aesthetic reasons, of course- and danggg, that girl done bounced back to pre-baby body like whoa! Only this girl can get away with a not-so-flattering-way-too-long-over-the-brow-FRINGE.

Reese

"I have cellulite. I have stretch marks. I feel intimidated by Victoria's Secret. Hollywood is one of those endless competitions, but it's like running a race toward nothing. There's no winning. You're never going to win the pretty race. I just want to be the best version of myself that I can be." -Reese Witherspoon

.I am officially obsessed.

I keep up with celebrities (I know, I'm pathetic), and Reese has gotta be my most favorite inside and out.

a weird idiosyncrasy of mine (amongst others)

I was telling my sister today what I do to prevent my teeth from staining when I drink coffee or lattes. First of all, I hardly ever order any coffee/latte drink HOT...I'm weird- I get all of my coffee drinks ICED-even in the dead-middle of winter. So I sip with a straw and tuck my lips onto my teeth and sip... and, VOILA- the drink has no contact with my teeth!

Also, everyone close to me knows that I hate having my bare feet touch public places, most notably hotel room floors and carpets. So to compensate for this "disorder", I curl my feet inwards so as to reduce the surface area of my foot touching the carpet/tiles (kind of like a scrunched-up foot fist). I even do this crap in a 4-star hotel shower (hey, you never know what goes down in that establishment-eek!). I have no idear why I am like this.

So if you see any of my extremities contorted in weird angles or my facial features askew, you'll know that my idiosyncracies are at play and I'm not retarded.

P

P.S. Did I mention I also have this twitch where I feel like one rib on my ribcage is longer than the others? I get this way when I wear tighter-than-normal jeans. :D

***EDIT: I also hate it when my foot pinky toe gets stuck to my other toe, so I have to take off my shoes and socks to pry them apart.

what a beaut

I dithered back and forth about returning back to my normal hair color, but after seeing these gorgeous pics of the ever-so glamorous, impeccable Pilipina actress/entertainer, K.C. Concepcion, I don't feel so bad anymore. She's sooo pretty!
