In just one hour, we say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012! For now, I just want to greet all of you a Happy New Year! I'll be posting tomorrow (Jan. 1, 2011) my sort of New Year's Resolutions to keep track of my plans for 2012. As a teaser, I tag 2012 as my year of improvements on things that needed...
Wow! It's been 3 months since I wrote here and I am so frustrated and disappointed at myself that I was not able to update this blog. Well I have an explanation for that (sort of) and it's mostly psychological. Well, for one thing, the past 3 months have been a bit irritating to me because I was supposed to buy a...
Ever since it was announced in the Hunger Games fansites a week ago that the teaser trailer of "The Hunger Games" will be shown in the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday, I can't help but get giddy in the days after that. And now, after many days of waiting, the teaser trailer is now out! Here is the official "The Hunger Games" teaser trailer:

Some Girly Moments: Preparing for K&H Wedding - Review of the Purple Dress From Forever 21
11:40 AM I'm not much of a girly person and I have known that since I was little despite playing with Barbie dolls (though together with that, I also played with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Snoopy and X-Men figurines). But when it comes to weddings, all the girlyness in me suddenly comes out as I think of ways on how I should look in this...
Pictures Speak Louder Than WordsThis is one section in my blog where I feel that pictures says a lot that I don't need to write something about it. ---------- Kharlo and Honey's Wedding - 8.20.2011 Pictures courtesy of my fellow Kalayaan College friends since I don't have my own camera yet. The pictures say it all: Kharlo and Honey, my Kalayaan College friends,...
One of the most prominent events last year was the Manila Hostage crisis, which happened on August 23, 2010 at the Rizal Park, Manila. For those who have been living under the rock for a year, here's a summary of it:
The Manila hostage crisis occurred when a dismissed Philippine National Police officer took over a tour bus in Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines on August 23, 2010. Disgruntled former senior inspector Rolando Mendoza, from the Manila Police District (MPD) hijacked a tour bus carrying 25 people (20 tourists and also a tour guide, all from Hong Kong, and four Filipinos) in an attempt to get his job back. He said that he was summarily dismissed without the opportunity to properly defend himself, and that all he wanted was a fair hearing.
The first shots were heard about ten hours into the standoff, after which the Filipino bus driver escaped from the bus and was shown on television saying "everyone is dead" before being whisked away by police. The ensuing rescue assault mounted by the MPD and resulting shoot-out, which was widely criticized by pundits as "bungled" and "incompetent", was watched by millions on live television news and took around 90 minutes. Eight of the hostages and Mendoza were killed; many other hostages and bystanders were injured. (Source: Wikipedia)
It All Ends.7.14 After watching "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" two days in a row, I have finally come to accept that, indeed, it has ended. And, growing up with the book and the movies, I'd say it was a great way to end it all. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is the continuation of where Part...
Preparing for a cosplay is never easy, especially for first-timers like us. Marc (my boyfriend) and I "debuted" our first-ever cosplay last June 18 at the 10th Philippine Toycon in Megamall---and it was a blast! We cosplayed as Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi of Squad 11 from "Bleach". For those who are not familiar: Kenpachi is the Captain of the squad who has...
After many years of looking at this book in bookstores and not being able to buy it, I finally read “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins---and it was worth the wait! The first time I saw it in 2009, it was in hardbound and very expensive. Recently though, I found the UK cover online and loved it. It had Katniss on the cover...
Wow! Finally! I'm back in the blogging world! It's been so long since I wrote in this blog and I was getting worried that it might be taken down. Good thing that didn't happen because I love this blog too much and I'd be depressed if it suddenly disappeared. I missed blogging because had a hiatus from it for four months and it...
