bury me in this dress

I received this afternoon the Rootote I won! I was informed the other day that the “Mew” is out of stock so Rootote sent me my second choice which is the “French Bulldog.” I love my new Roo-shopper! Super kawaii!!! Thanks so much to Joni of Rootote Philippines and Christine of Manila Fashion Observer for holding the contest.

Woof. My ROOshopper Folded

I'm naming this bulldog 'Petunia'

I finally gave Yasu his much-need bath. He was filthy and needs to be sanded and MSC-ed. Expenses again X_X

"I smell good"

"Now how do I put this back?"

I keep on forgetting to blog about it but I won an HP mini during an event last week. It was the top prize, baby! It the HP mini 5102 and it looks so professional. It has a nice glossy black finish and it seems durable. My only problem with it is the OS. It was pre-installed with SUSE and it drove me crazy for a while. I don’t know anything about Linux and I am so tempted to buy a Windows 7 for it but Phoebe said it would slow down the netbook. So I’m still thinking about the OS. I was advised that UBUNTU is easier to use than SUSE but I’m having difficulties installing it. Blergh. Anyway, I’m happy that I won and I want to thank Alvin Chua for extending an invite to the event. If you are curious about the event I went to, I mentioned it in my article about Small to Medium Enterprises on Mukhang Pera. Go read it and you might learn a thing or two

Ladies and gentlemuhns, I am still shocked that some people recommended me to be a part of Globe’s Digital Tribe for Luzon. Not that I’m complaining but WHY? I mean, I don’t have many followers especially compared to the other 9 who won.

I’m thinking that the award is a mistake but I’m not going to give back my award and the Tattoo internet kit I won. Ha!

I is bonafide bloggar nao

The awarding was done during the Philippine Blog Awards last Friday night, my first time to ever attend the PBA. I had no intention of going until Melo Villareal informed me about my award. Good thing I did come because the free food was grrreat. I also got to meet more bloggers. Yay!

Please to nominate me next year but not for photoblog cos I keep on forgetting to take phowtows. Seriously, thank you very much for the award. Thanks to PBA and Globe and congratulations to the winners of PBA!

P.S.
Keep on donating and volunteering. The victims of the Pepeng and Ondoy badly need our help.

I subscribe to the 4ad newsletter and every month, the record label holds a contest for its subscribers. When I checked the newsletter the other day, I received a pleasant surprise.

March issue

I won the contest I entered last February!

I have no idea what “super jewel CD boxes” means but I’m so happy that I won! I hope nobody in Philpost steals my prize!!!

the loot

Spending all that money for Vivienne Westwood stuff was a good move because my blog post about it won me the Shopaholic contest sponsored by nuffnang. I wasn’t the top winner but I’m in the top 10. I got a couple of Shopaholic goodies which I gave to my sister except for the notepad which I can use for work. I also won me 2 tickets for the premiere of the movie…except that I didn’t know about it and Nuffnang gave the prize on the same night of the premiere. *sigh* So I watched it alone. Good thing I enjoyed the movie. It’s a no-brainer but still entertaining.

My Halloween for this year was fun. I had a Medusa costume made. The dress was a big fat failure but the head dress is a winner. The costume is expensive but I don’t care anymore.

Jenny was with me and we had dinner at my uncle’s Figaro franchise in High Street. It was a good meal and even better because it was for free. A couple of my relatives were there, checking out the people and me in costume. I just let them be. Why deprive them of any fun, right?

Jenny and I finally went to Eternal Death Wake a bit past 9pm. Mag:net was packed and we weren’t able to get a table so we just sat on some speakers. The bands could only perform 3 songs each because of the long line-up. We rocked to Scarlet Tears which I am a fan of and Jenny is a convert now. When the noisier goth bands were on stage, we headed outside to smoke and chatter. We met some new people which was neat. I was complaining how the place was so packed and the heat was killing me. I told Jenny we’ll go home already (this was only around 10pm) but when we went down, I talked to Pola and Katrina and then decided to go with them to Cubao-X.

Pola and her boyfriend decided not to go to Cubao-X anymore so we dropped them off near Farmer’s Mart. There wasn’t much people in Cubao-X when we got there but we saw old UP college pals at Mogwai and they asked us to join them.

Pola surprised us by arriving sans boyfriend but it was already late when she got there and we were about to go home. I didn’t get to hang out with Katrina and company because I was busy catching up with college friends. Sorry, Katrina. Jenny and I left around 2:30am because I needed to prepare for my out-of-town trip.

I had a lot of fun at Cubao-X. It was more fun that Eternal Death Wake actually and I’m glad I went there. This year’s Halloween was a blast and I’m so glad I went out unlike last year.

The photos in this post were taken either by Katrina or Jenny. I couldn’t take photos because of my lashes.

I have a new Plurk theme now! Big thanks to big bad baddie for the Wicked Witch of Oz theme I requested! For awhile he scared me that he’ll make me a Wild Wild West theme. Ugh Wil Smith. So for this, I give him my bunny dance!

I went to the 12th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta last Sunday with Phoebe, Jef, Egg, Mark, Patrick, Anthon, Loreyn, Jet, Kate, and our driver Arman. Got sunburned and drained but twas worth it all even if I have to spend a day recuperating. I didn’t have any sleep the night before because my friends came over early and we left at 3am. I wanted to kick them out but it was already too late. Hehe. Click the photo below to get to the album.

I just found out that I was included for week 2 (“bloggers”) and that I’ll receive a gift. I wonder what the gift is. Anyway, thanks to pinoytwitter for picking me. I do tend to twit a lot when I’m awake and online.

P.S.

If you want to add me to twitter, my addy is twitter.com/dementia

I was expecting my birthday yesterday to end crappy but it was totally the opposite. My staff threw me a surprise party at the office complete with embarrassing photo montage. I was really surprised and mom was so convincing. I went down to the 15th floor office and just blurted out “Bakit madilim dito?” but it never occurred to me that they were cooking up something the whole day. The thing that made it 100 times better is the fact that Bishie (you remember him?) was there and by the end of the night he dedicated songs to me, got my cellphone and email addy, had our photos taken, held both my hands at some point, and had me singing an awful duet with him (there was videoke). Well, booze was flowing and although I was perfectly sober, I doubt any of those counted since he was tipsy. Still, I was thrilled cos he’s so darn cute. I guess I can declare yesterday as one of my best birthdays. I’ll be celebrating again on Thursday night and I hope it’s just as thrilling
