Holiday cheer

It's been a long time! Sorry, I've gotten lazy at blogging. ^^

Saturday, December 22: My parents and I went to Kolorete (the best-est surplus shop in the world) to buy me a pair of jeans for Christmas. But before that, we went to Greenhills to buy Aby, Miguel, and Ace (my cousins) their Christmas gifts; to dad's office for him to fix some of his things; and to Mamonluk to eat our lunch.

I had a blast with my parents. They're so fun to be with and I feel comfortable around them. Well, honestly, I prefer to be with them than to be with most of my friends (yup, I'm that family oriented).

Anyway, we went to Kolorete after eating at Mamonluk, and after thirty minutes or so of trying out the jeans, I finally found two pairs which I like. The problem was I only had to have one. I was deliberating long and hard that dad got impatent and decided to - teehee - buy the two pairs! Lucky!

All the jeans at Kolorete costs 1,500 pesos, regardless of the brand. And do you know which brands I bought?

Levi's and Victoria Beckham, dude. :D
(Victoria Beckham jeans? Originally 15,000 freaking pesos!)

Shiiiiny!

If you want some totally awesome jeans for only 1,500 pesos, go to Kolorete. They sell international brands such as Seven Jeans, True Religion, Citizens Of Humanity, Victoria Beckham, and so much more! The store also has a separate section for tees and bags (Gucci, LeSportSac...). And let me remind you that the reason why everything's cheap is because it's a surplus shop, but the quality is still A+. Ü
Kolorete is located at Timog Avenue, near the GMA building. It's in the row of stores found behind Ponciana's Restaurant, across Off The Grill. Hope you shop there.Ü

Rewind: Friday, December 21, I was hanging out with mom in her car when "Dead" was played on Magic 89.9. I enjoyed the song, of course - My Chemical Romance is my favorite band, and the vocalist is the father of my future baby my favorite, er, vocalist. So imagine my shock when, after the song, the DJ's said "This band's going to have a concert here in the Philippines. Yes, My Chemical Romance, live in the Fort, Taguig, on January 25..."

OMFG. How could the DJ say that ever so calmly when MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!! Everyone should be running amok the streets now! And me? I should be reserving a VIP ticket now!!!

So here's the plan: I'm going to call Viva Concerts/ Ticket World and reserve a VIP ticket (6,000 pesos) for myself. I'd most prefer to have a seat here:


Second, the cash. I already have 3000 pesos here, and I'll get the other half from "Santa" (since he didn't give me anything this Christmas... pfft), who already approved. Yippeeee!!! I've been such a good girl this year that Santa's being so unbelievably kind. Ü And besides, the concert's going to be just a week before my birthday, so he might as well think of this as a Christmas and birthday gift for me.

So, the only problem I've got now is:

1) That I can't find a VIP ticket
2) Transportation - my ninong Joji should be driving me to and from The Fort, but he can be very unreliable.

But wait, I shouldn't think of those things. Use The Secret, Kring, and you shall get whatever you want!

Gerard♥, My Chemical Romance, here I come!!!

We'll carry on!!!

(I should make the most outof using The Secret: aside from getting a VIP ticket, I'll also be able to meet and greet My Chemical Romance!)

P.S. If you're willing to donate cash, please do :-'( Consider that your Christmas and birthday gift for me, please?

December 25, fun day! Words cannot describe how fun Christmas was. Anyway, I'll be posting pictures as soon as mum puts them on the PC. ;D

Today, my friends and I went to visit Dian at her house. She's recovering from dengue, and if I hadn't read her blog post about her getting discharged, then we would have went to Makati Medical City and made a fool out of ourselves there. Haha ;D

Anyway, we had a great time at Dian's. Though the Lucky Me! Noodles were a bit too salty (it was Shan's fault), we ate lots and laughed lots. Sigh, I really missed my barkada. Ü

Let me introduce you to the members of Kada Siete!

Kada Siete! From left: Shan, Dian, Che, Joan, Hams, Me, and Jenny (April's not here!)

Wacky pose!
Joan! The funniest in the group, and probably the one with the sharpest wit.
Hamille! The most hard-working in the group, and also the most paranoid. ^___^
Jenny (the one on my left), the horsiest (kidding XD); and Dian (on my right), the smartest (next to me, of course! Haha!)
Che! The richest in the group! And the one who loves Koreanovelas the most ^_^
Shan! The LOUDEST in the group!

And April! She wasn't with us a while ago, but anyway, she's one of those who laugh without any reason (to put simply, abnoy ^__^)

After going to Dian's house, our clique went to Robinsons Metroeast to, originally, watch a movie, but we decided to do so some other time. We just talked about the plans for our next trip. But I left a little early, since I have to have a good impression on dad (concert tickets... haha ;D).

It was sweet of Joan and Jenny to accompany me to the exit of Robinsons (actually, I forced them to accompany me). The funny thing was the three of us had jackets, so we wore them ala-F4.

Hah! Nice jackets, though we didn't capture Jenny's.

A better shot, but I got a fugly face >.<

I miss Blogger

I miss writing. And I obviously am not as good a writer now as I was before because of my laziness. I have a harder time detailing my ideas,...
