productive boredom. ;)
So yeah, I was bored the whole day. When I had really nothing to do and got hold of the computer, I searched for some Photoshop tutorials and edited some of my photos. I found this site of Photoshop tutorials really helpful, and easy to follow. So cool! ;))
Here are the photos I've edited today.
purple mashew.
iella and cej. a lomo-ish effect with old picture something technique.
mashew in lomo effect.
me, in something i forgot effect. nyaha.
used lomo effect too, in the reflection of couds in water.
a something effect in clouds. added a lighting thing.
a tcoa photo. had a vignette thing plus some other effects added. i mixed up the techniques i found, but not much difference from the original photo. nyaha.
Clap clap clap to me, I was somehow productive today.
Or rather, tonight.
Started working on them sometime before 7, and ended around this time.
I shall do this again next time I'm bored. nyahaha. :D

confessions of a fan.
..a shopaholic fan. ;)
I started reading the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella when I was in second year high school. I was able to read 3 of her books then: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic takes Manhattan, and Shopaholic & Sister. It was only last year when I started to read again the remaining books, Shopaholic Ties the Knot and Shopaholic & Baby. I was able to finish them already! Though I regret not reading them in order. :| I read Shopaholic & Sister first before Ties the Knot and Baby; then I read Baby first before Ties the Knot.
But anyway, I really got addicted to Becky Bloomwood's story. I liked how Sophie Kinsella created twists in Becky's life. From shopping and credit card problems to living between New York and London, then with her bestfriend and boyfriend, to her parents and Luke's mom, her around the world honeymoon and a long lost sister, then to her pregnancy and giving birth struggles. I liked how she writes, she's into giving a lot of detailed descriptions, but doesn't spoil what's gonna happen next or what will she deicde on doing. She makes sure to hook the readers in finding out about the next thing. It's fun to ride along Becky's adventure. :D
When I found out there would be a movie of it, of course I got so excited! I did not let this one pass. I wanna see how Becky Bloomwood come alive. Of course, I wanna compare too how different it would be from the books.
I saw the movie yesterday, and it wasn't so bad at all. I loved it, actually. The movie covered the first two books, Confessions and Manhattan, but I guess they had some parts from Ties the Knot (like Suze's wedding; I think that it's really from the Ties the Knot book, ahahaha). The movie was funny, really funny. In the book, I see Becky as such, and when I saw her in the movie, I enjoyed more her humor. The dance with Luke was the funniest one for me. :)) I also liked how they made the mannequins move and act like her convincing conscience. What I was disappointed a bit was with Luke Brandon. I imagine him in the book as a really hot one, but in the movie he didn't appeal to me as much. They should've gotten a hotter one, nyahahaha. But oh well, they kinda match and look good together. I also adore her clothes, most especially the shoes! Oh I love them, they're all pretty. ;) I guess it won't be a shopaholic movie if she wouldn't have really nice stuff, nyaha.
I was actually bitin with it. I really hope they would have a sequel to it, featuring the rest of the series. They just have to shorten the movie time, I found it kinda long. But, the whole story was there, so no boring parts. I'm gonna wait til the next one! ;))

LP45: puso?
Ang puso ay hindi lamang nagrerepresentang pagmamahal sa tao.
Tila sa larawan na ito ay nagpapahiwatig ang mga dahon
na sila ay pwede rin mahalin.
Sila rin ay may buhay, sila rin ay likha ng ating Diyos.
Alagaan natin sila, bago pa malanta ang mga pusong ito. ;)

a valentine's full of love.
February 14 2009.
A date not with one person, but with the whole batch.
Lovely, isn't it?
Iella celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday. Since her real birthday falls on a Monday, she decided to have it on a weekend. And ok naman, kahit 14 yung date. At least for those who are dateless, the party could fill up the missing other. nyahahaha.
During her party, she had the usual roses and candles. What she didn't plan was the treasures. Since Cej and I wanted to give a surprise, we decided to give the treasures as a surprise. It completed the usual debut stuff, so great.
From what I saw, she was happy.
What she dreamt of having happened.
Her wishes came true.
She felt loved by the people she loves.
It was her day.
And it was perfect. ;)
I'm really happy for Iella, and I'm proud that she was able to stay strong for that occasion to happen. I'm really blessed to have her as my friend, my Labs. ♥
You're not a kid anymore, Labs.
Though you still look like one. nyaha.
I'll always be here for you.
Love yoooooooou! :D

twenty five.
THIS WAS TAGGED BY HARU IN FACEBOOK, BUT I'LL ANSWER THIS FIRST HERE, THEN COPY IT TO FACEBOOK AFTER. ;)
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. You are obviously exempt if you have already posted.

10. I work best from 4pm to around 10pm. My mind is really awake that time.
11. I'm so lazy on Mondays. I prefer staying home lang.

14. I want to go to Paris.
15. I want to live in New York.

24. I want to try some water sports. Sounds fun. ;)
25. I love food, but I don't like to cook. I would never do that. It's not for me. nyaha.

LP44: tsokolate! ♥
Dahil masyado akong naaliw sa mga litrato ni Tita Tes na inilalahok niya sa Litratong Pinoy, nainspire din ako na sumali. ;)
Ito ang una kong litrato na isusubmit para makasali sa Litratong Pinoy. (Kailangan kasi sumali muna ng dalawang linggo bago ka nila maaprubahan para maging miyembro.) At sakto, tsokolate pa ang tema nila! Ayan ang sign na sumali na daw ako. nyahahahaha.

TSOKOLATE.
Ito ang nagbibigay kulay sa aking buhay.
Kung wala nito, hindi ko malalaman kung gaano kasarap at katamis ang mabuhay.
Ito ang nagpapasaya sa akin ng lubusan.
Chocnut man yan, o Ferrero Rocher, buo na ang araw ko. ♥

FAIL.
I'M FAILING.
Maybe.
Almost.
Since the start of this term, I haven't had a grade that I was really satisfied and happy with. I worked on my requirements and submitted them all. I thought what I did was good, but then I feel that it was just ok. I thought it was my best, but when I get to see my grade, I knew it wasn't. I could've done better.
I CAN DO BETTER.
It's just that, I'm really having a hard time.
Really.
I hate failing. I hate not having high grades. I hate not getting what I deserve.
But why is this happening?!
Oh God, help me.
DL.. that's my goal right?
Bring me back on track.

iWANTS.
For some unknown reason, I am wanting a lot of things recently.
Well actually, it started just last Saturday.
I suddenly thought of a lot of things and kept on saying..
"Gusto ko ng (insert want here)."
I am sure I won't get them all.
Not now, 'cause there's no reason for me to have them.
For some, maybe yes.
I want green mangoes. More of them.
I want tikoy.
I want a pair of shorts from Kashieca.
I want the hoodie thing from there too.
I want to buy Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella.
So I can finish it already.
I want purple jeans.
I want Caramel Macchiato. Tall.
I want Havaianas High. Silver.
I super want the printed hearts Jansport bag.
I want it badly.
I want to hangout.
I want to see my batchmates love. ;)
I want to watch a movie.
I want to see Confessions of a Shopaholic.
When will it be shown anyway?
I want to see John Lloyd and Sarah's Valentine movie.
WAHAHAHAHAHA.
I'm hoping it would be as fun as A Very Special Love.
I want to have my own laptop.
No, I NEED.
I want it to be a MacBook Pro.
But, I would settle for a MacBook aluminum.
I want a big hard drive memory.
I want to eat McDo fries.
And chicken nuggets too.
I want a new chucks.
Or maybe another sandals.
I want to be on the DL.
I have a feeling that I would be having such a hard time this term.
I want to graduate already.
I am getting lazy in doing school stuff at times now. :(
I want to sleep.
I didn't get to have a batugan Monday.
I want to transfer house.
But, not so far from civilization.
Civilization-- as in I can still make impromptu tambays.
I want to go somewhere far.
For what?
I just want to travel. :)
I just want to rant these things.
I want to let them out.
If I won't, I would get insane WANTING them.
nyahahahahahaha.
(edit)
I want Iella's birthday to happen already.
Promise.
I want a batch unity.
I want to see her really happy. ;)
