Out of work again...

Nanaman? how depressing!

Then go out and get a job!

Promise na, bukas, i'll go job hunting!

Good luck!  jeje

eew jejemon!

** Here are some doodles that fill my time when I am so bored. Pag wala ka na talaga magawa, kung ano ano na lang ang nagiging produkto ng imahinasyon mo. Anyway, since my paid-to-wait-and-stay-at-home dream job has finally ended, I am back in the open seas of job hunting. Pero 'think positive' ako ngayon kahit di ko pa rin alam ang susunod kong gagawin. Alam ko kasi na marami nang opportunities ngayon na naghihintay lang basta masigasig ka sa paghahanap nito. Well I hope you guys could pray for me!

I'll keep you posted.

Sketch Diaries

My drawing class is in a hiatus so here are some doodles i did over the summer. 

Artist's Level: Beginner pa lang ako. babaan nyo lang ang expectations nyo :)

I'm trying to develop a style of my own. As you can see, i find it so difficult to draw eyes. Just check out the unbalanced eyes and brows of the guy. Drawing hair is also a problem. Mala-Erap tuloy ang buhok nung lalaki.

Anyway, I think the woman in the drawing looks better than the guy though i usually draw males better. Sad to say, chamba lang to, at hindi ko pa kayang ulit ulitin ang pagdrowing sa mukha nya. 

* Each week, i will post random sketches I've drawn. I'm doing this so i will ALWAYS remember to draw (at hindi puro computer, tv at wowowee ang inaatupag ko).  Please comment!

New Banner

Notice anything new? Well then, please look on the upper side because you'll see my blog's new title-bearer  :)

This is the first time ive made one for this blog so please tell me what you think about it.

Thanks,

No More Braces!

                                                               BEFORE ......................................... AFTER

Papa: "Wow talagang naayos na sya!"
Mama: "Anak, parang false teeth..
            Nako, tataba ka lalo kasi lahat pwede mo na kainin.
            Bawal ka na mag-Milo from now on."

Sa isip isip ko, "mama inggit lang kayo"

Anyway, halos 3 years na'ko naka-braces. Pag nakabraces ka, it's either ikakaganda mo or otherwise. Ako..otherwise. . Kaya nung inalis na yung mga brackets, iba yung naramdaman ko. Pakiramdam ko talaga may magbabago sa buhay ko.

Naalala ko tuloy nung natanggal na yung mga braces ni Ugly Betty. Isang buong episode ang nilaan para lang dun! In the end, gumanda sya, tumuwid ang buhok, napromote sa trabaho, at ..nainlove sa kanya yung boss nya. Gusto ko rin gumanda, gusto ko rin mapromote, pero hindi ko naman yata gustong mainlove yung ... sakin...? ....

ANYWAY.

Naalala ko noon, sobrang saya kong nagkwkwento sa isang kaibigan, tapos bigla syang tumigil at sinabing "Wag kang gagalaw, pipicturan ko lang yang orange na nakasabit [sa ipin mo]" -True Friend $@%&!

Dahil hindi na ko nagaalala na pag nagsmile ako, may nakasabit na kung ano sa bakal,mas nagiging confident na ko magsmile at makipagusap sa tao. Yun, isang pagbabago na yun. Confidence..

I welcome the change. I can really feel na katumbas ng pagbabago ng shape ng mukha ko, magbabago rin ang mga konting mga bagay bagay sa buhay ko. Diba nga, "True life is lived when tiny changes occur". It might be just a tiny change, but it is change, nonetheless.

haha OA.

"Walang Day Off !" -- Mama

It's Mother's day again and unlike last year, ginawa kong memorable para kay mama kahit papano ang mother's day.

1. Binigyan ko sya ng Day Spa gift certificates. Maraming nagsasabi na ang gift certificates ay binibigay lang ng walang maisip na iregalo. Unimaginative daw kasi walang preparation na involved.. Pwes, ang mahal kaya no! It's the thought that counts naman. Natuwa sya sa mga massage, facial, etc na nakalagay sa mga certificate. At nakahinga ako ng malalim dahil natuwa rin sya dun sa "Diamond peel" service dun. Akala ko mao-offend sya.

2. Bumili rin kami ng cake [at ice cream] para sa tatlong espesyal na nanay sa family namin. Yan ay sa kadahilanang alam naman namin na hindi nila ito masyadong kakainin dahil sa hindi na pwede (diabetic, cholesterol, high blood). Ergo, sa amin mapupunta ang malaking bahagi ng cake at ice cream. (evil laugh)

Nababasa mo ba ang nakasulat sa cake? (base ito sa aktuwal na reaksyon ng mga kumain ng cake)

a. I O U (i owe you)
b. mukhang stick man
c. hindi kayang mabasa

3. Alam ko na iisipin nyo na ako ang pinakamasamang anak.. pero .. Sya pa rin ang nagligpit ng pinggan! wah sorry. Nagrereklamo pa naman sya na mabuti pa ang katulong, may day off.

Anyway, share ko din yung gift ng kaibigan ko sa mom nya.

Talong talo ang gift certs ko dito, bigtime!

Hippie for a Day

Wt: 131 lbs, rice eaten: 1 cup (so proud), snacks: 5 ( ice cream, potato salad, brownies, puto bumbong, potato chips), jump ropes: 0 , diet regimen: After Six

Today,
I learned that the word Hors d'œuvres is pronounced as "Orderves". And notwithstanding the fact that i am now at an all time high of 131 pounds, i am once again talking about food. Hors d'œuvres are the small one bite appetizers you eat at a party. So at least you learned something from this blog today.

Anyway,
Talking about parties, I attended my aunt's recent birthday bash and i partied like there's no tomorrow. My aunt had installed a disco ball in her entertainment room and the ball wasn't rented,.. it's there to stay permanently! And so I started dancing crazily and that probably cancelled any chance of having a lovelife. I think i ticked off any possible suitors. I know, I assume too much (hahaha). They also asked me if i took drugs. "Yes.. Orange Flower" I said just to shut them up. Orange flower is the most popular among the ecstasy pills. And yes if you are a nurse like me, you get to retain useless information like that.

The biggest reason i say i ticked off any possible beaus is this~ The theme of the party is The Psychedelic Sixties. And apparently, i was the only one who actually wore a costume :/

Guess who took things too seriously?

I wanted to look like this.. 

..but i guess i failed miserably.haha. Forgive me for my pessimism though. I love costume parties and i couldn't care less that everyone else is under-dressed. Being a hippie for a day was exhilarating. I suggest you try it. Do wear a forehead band, look high, do some kooky dance moves, and stop eating all those hors d' oeuvres or you'll end up packed with 131 lbs too.

Yun lang.

Lubos na gumagalang,

Flor

April Fools' Prank Memories

When my sister and i were in high school, we used to love april fools. hanggang sa tumanda na kami, nakakalimutan na namin parang sayang lumampas na yung april fools.

we used to play pranks on others via phone, which proved to be really effective! una, hindi nakikita ng tao yung facial expression mo at kung natatawa ka na. you just have to do great voice impressions.

we chose a very likely victim from school, someone who wouldnt tell on us. siguro sa popularity pyramid, isa sya sa mga geek guys. but who am i to say? i wasnt that popular either. anywaysss,

The Prank

Phone ringing..
victim: hello?
Me& Sis (in our best american accent): hi, we're the DJs from 93.7FM radio, Britney Spears in having a concert in Manila next week and we're giving away free tickets!!

victim: really (uninterested)
me&  sis: yes! all you have to do is sing a line from the song Hit me Baby one more time..

victim (proceeds to sing): Oh baby baby how was is supposed to know...That something wasnt right here, oh baby baby i shouldnt have let you go.. i must confess, that my loneliness..

sis: okay na! you just won yourself free tickets to her concert. congratulations!!!

***
Since i couldnt contain my laughter any longer, i told him, "Goodness! hindi mo pa ba kami nakikkilala!!!" Sobrang nakakatawa kasi may effort talagang kumanta. And what's really funny is that he never guessed from the start that we were fakes bec we werent so good in our DJ accents and of course im sure we sounded too young. But the best best part is that i made him sing. to this day i regret the fact that i was unable to record the conversation.. haaay

anyway, senior year came, and this geek guy victim of ours turned out to become one of our CAT officers. yikes!

share your own pranks.
