This was suppose to be a scheduled blog entry but I decided not to publish it at the very last minute. The photos are still insufficient but thanks nevertheless to James and Kirby. I can be a very demanding photo grabber sometimes. Well, it actually took light-years for James to publish or share the blog camp photos for some unknown reason. I don't really take it against him but beggars can be choosy sometimes. I'm always contradicting myself which means I have many wars in my mind. Enough about me. Let's talk about something else, shall we? There are times when you're stuck with photographic memories and you can't even capture it in squares. The irony of things! Being in a blogging event and your camera battery dies down cause you thought you had it fully-charged from last night. Not bad for my first Blog Camp and something's gotta give. I did meet a lot of interesting people. Plus our table hoarded all the prizes big or small. The world is just awesome according to Discovery Channel.
By saying that this is not a paid ad sounds like it is. But seriously, this isn't and GLOBE if you are reading this. Please give me at least two percent of the total earnings from the text votes. The company is really getting the attention they deserve, yes? I don't intend to commercialize my blog but there's absolutely nothing I won't do for the people I care for and love. If I had to spam and abuse all forms of social media for my sister to earn votes then I'd gladly do so. I don't mind losing friends or followers as long as I flood and rape your news feed with her name on it. If that's all it takes for you to vote for her. That's what you call hard-selling in the customer service arena. Enforcing too much and repetitive information. If this was a song, this is your frequent radio play, like how the boom box plays Gaga's song then everyone goes GAGA over it. Then, let me go gaga about this then...

They say the third time's the charm. I've missed two opportunities of meeting other Cebuano Fashion Bloggers cause the meet-ups fall on a weekend. I don't have the luxury of going out on those Hedonistic days like most people. Now, this is where I recall someone telling me that working on weekdays make you wish you were at home and not tied in the desk with Stress Drilon. In all seriousness, the weekends are no longer the trending topics in my overpriced Starbucks planner. You see, Starbucks is charitable in the guise of capitalism especially during the Holiday season. BUT, we're not going to talk about capitalism or materialism and all other isms of Philosophy. Yeah, I went to school too. Please don't hesitate to raise your well-plucked brows if you think Fashion Bloggers are shallow. These were just one of the many things that the girls and I discussed. It's good to know that I am not alone. That there are others like me who not just loves but enjoys dressing up in the Dirty South. We did not hang out to change the world, we just decided to meet up so that we can blog about it. Duh! I'm actually just kidding.
On a more serious note. It's really amazing that I get to meet the blogs brainchild and you seriously get surprised on how real the girls are in pointblank range. When I say REAL, I meant they're not just some blogger whose stylish photos I see on my monitor or interact via Twitter and the rest of the social networking sites. I get to know them better and not just through their blog. You have no idea how small the world is. Meeting them girls was really the best part and that's not where the story ends. I may have been two meet-ups late with the attendance checking but it looks like someone's catching up. Something's brewing too. The City better be ready. <3
I watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one of the best ones And we all look like we feel You have stolen my, you have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

I can no longer deny it. I am smitten. I am in love with the same person over and over again. Even my shirt speaks volumes.
The same person who keeps teasing me about my weight issues and nearly consistently tells me the lipids on my body would never shed off. (it is the his excuse to convince me for an evening run but really he just really wanted see me)
The same person who unabashedly stalked me on twitter and posts a comment right after I say something in a common friends Facebook status. (even if we weren't friends yet in the social network)
The same person who likes my hair whatever hairstyle I have. Bangs or no bangs.
The same person who never gets bored listening to all my whining, rants and ruminations.
The same person who keeps me grounded and reminds me that I am worth it and I'm never the things I am when I'm in my all time low.
The same person whom I go to the movies with no matter how silly it is.
The same person who celebrates life's little pleasures and laughs with me over the silly things.
The same person I watch football games with with side comments and post match remarks.
The same person who lets me be myself cause I also have a life before I met him. XD
My comrade in sorrow.
My <3
I could really go on for light years and there are even times that the love I feel for him rob me of the words that he deserves, and trust me that's the weirdest part. We all have celebrity delusions but I cannot help and feel like Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity. I can attest and it proves true to me or even to you. If you really want something, the whole universe will really conspire to help you achieve it. We fall into place, and like well edited cinema we're cutting right into the heart of the story. It feels like the movies. And no, we're not just two fools rushing in. We studied in the same university, we were in the same sporting events during our high school years, attended the same movie premiere, attended the same writing workshop two years apart, had the same circle of literary friends. We were always at the same place and at the same time but never meeting. But what better time than now? This is something REAL. You and Me. Here and Now.

Most of my blog photos are NOT taken by an SLR but my trusty point and shoot. I think it's obvious but I just have to say it out loud. What I love most with point and shoots or the handy-dandy camera is it's lightness and it can just fit in your bag and still have room for something else. You also don't have to worry about bringing it anywhere. I don't really edit my photos but for this entry I did due to poor and uneven lighting or whatever the pro's call it. Yeah, I'm no pro but I know a good photo when I see one.
It's been raining a whole lot in the city and for the rest of the world. I do like it when it rains but not when I'm at work or out and about. It kind of ruins the plans for the day and the skyscraper shoes. It makes me sound so vain and narcissistic but is there any other way? Now unto the dangerously short shorts, it's something I wore last Friday. We had an exclusive IMAX movie treat for Transformers courtesy of the company. I had to dress up the part since I'm watching Rosie Huntington-Whitely on the BIG screen. I am so gay for her and what's a movie about robots without a kiss. The best way to enjoy Transformers 3 and any other movies of those genre is by watching it in IMAX.You're paying for the 'cinematic experience' that Hollywood is giving you. In my case, I didn't really pay for it so that makes me bias then.
There's still so many things I'd like to say but most of them are on twitter and I'm really good with micro blogging. Aside from that I'm too lazy to hit the keyboard. Photo bombs away!

The only person with me on this photo other than the ubiquitous black bag is my gay lover,Jed. He's the almost brother/sister from another mother but never my lover. I will never get tired of saying that he's one of my hottest gay best friend. We were both born on September and share the same fate when it comes to almost anything from love to getting wasted and climbing up the corporate ladder. The first photo on this entry is almost perfect for my taste if it wasn't for THE strand of hair that's strategically placed in front of my looking away face for this shot. I really have a love-hate relationship with my hair and my bangs makes me look like a shaggy dog lately. There are really times that I would think of chopping all my hair away out of angst and frustration on what hairstyle I should have. Don't call me vain cause I know you have those kinds of days too. The more than just bad hair day kind of thing. I wanted to chop chop the bangs cause underneath it are zits but I might as well keep it. I meant to keep the bangs and not the small zits. After all, she's got the bangs.
As for the outfit, I'm wearing my primary colors. I'm in the mood for love.
