shameless marketing and other stuff a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 10:23 PM

when a tv station allows people to plug their shows in another tv show like a talk show or something, that's marketing... when a tv station advertises its new shows during commercial breaks, it's marketing... but when a tv station uses an outgoing show, like a telenovela for example, to advertise an incoming show, that's what you call shameless marketing... haha.. f na f ko naman.. pero nagulat lang ako.. super advertise ang abs-cbn nang pbb celebrity edition season 2 ah.. nagdedicate pa sila ng ilang minutes of air time sa kokey para lang magadvertise subtly... owell.. anyway... isipin na lang muna natin na hindi pa matagal since last ako nag-update, ok? so.. nagkakaroon ako ng mental block.. kaya hanggang dito na lang muna... pero gusto kong sabihin that i'm very glad that the sem is almost over! woohoO!

where the less popular brand in the philippines wins a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 09:16 PM

being the havaianatico that i am (despite the relatively few pairs that i have), i've signed-up for their newsletter a few months ago... and recently, they sent me a newsletter regarding the new available styles... somehow i was disappointed... there were two new collections, the one with the metallic logo and the new "breed" of their embellished collection. it was still like the same old rubber slipper they sold ever since.. and somehow, after sometime, it gets boring... so... i've gone on to the other side and indulged myself in ipanema... they have more designs to choose from. in addition, with ipanema, form meets function. unlike havaianas, ipanema has both casual and more formal footwear. there are styles which at first sight would look like they're made of leather. but once you touch them, you'd realized they were actually made of rubber. and that's not the end of it... ipanema sandals are more comfortable than the other brand's. and besides, the brand has collaborated with the supermodel and current "it" girl gisele bündchen (for a worthy cause, too...).. need i say more??? i haven't taken a picture of the pair i bought (for my birthday and for the sem that was) but i'll be posting it soon...

movie marathon-ish a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 04:56 PM

no matter how many times i watch legally blonde, it never fails to make me cry, make me laugh and just generally make me feel good. i just love it.. and besides, it proves that not all kikay people have empty brains.. and i just love reese witherspoon... was finally able to watch the whole of the movie my girl (starring anna chlumsky and macaulay culkin)... it was such a tearjerker.. and i love it beyond words... i still can't get over it by now... there's just something about movies where children are the main characters... here are some of the quotable quotes in the movie... "When you play sports, there's no teams, so nobody gets picked last." -Vada (when asked about what she thinks heaven is like) "Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm you fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart." -Vada (her poem after someone's death... i wonder who it is??? ) Thomas J. Sennett: Vada? Vada Sultenfuss: Yeah? Thomas J. Sennett: Would you think of me? Vada Sultenfuss: For what? Thomas J. Sennett: Well, if you don't get to marry Mr. Bixler. Vada Sultenfuss: I guess. and i love macaulay culkin... these to movies would probably in my top two movies of all time, for a long time..

seven deadly sins: sloth a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 12:12 AM

okei.. not really... because sloth is like not doing anything (or something... ummm... clar! help!) anyway... because that's quite beside the point.. the point is, i'm such a procrastinator... the week that was was supposedly a relatively free week... i only had three tests, only two of which were finals and a paper that i need to do that's due on monday... easy peasy right? well, if you weren't me that is.. i'm such a crammer and i have this thing about not being able to do things without pressure.. i can't study for something that is not at least 3 days from now... i just can't... and i can't write a paper unless it's crunch time... so the tests were already finished and i think i did quite well.. but i am still nowhere from done with my socio paper... of all subjects to require a term paper pa kasi, why'd it have to be socio... where i don't exactly have something talk about... i mean the teacher was fine... and she really teaches.. but socio is such a blur.... i know that my brain is in such cognitive dissonance so we should blend well, right... but having to write something for socio just makes me feel woozy... the last time i had to write something for socio was like ages ago (because we were the 2nd group to report).. we had to write like a reaction paper for the topics and articles we were supposed to discuss... it was such a brain drain for me.. i was at a loss for things to write... much more when i'm supposed to write a 5-10 page term paper, integrating everything that happened in our classes... 1.5 spacing pa yan ha.. so good luck naman sakin... i'm gonna fail socio... no!!! buh-bye us (uhmm.. not united states..)!

bullets a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 01:02 AM

i want to have a peaceful sleep... i think, it's been ages since i had one... there are just so many things to think about before sleeping: tests to study for, tests to take, readings to read, papers to write, issues to dwell on and what-nots... i want to have a full body scrub and massage.. seriously... i need full body pampering.. and besides, my feet look harrassed already... just like last time, the roster of housemates for the celebrity edition disappointed me... di ko na naman na-feel na celebrities silang lahat... and i was seriously hoping that the taekwondo dude would be japoy... promise... i am in such a japoy drought... candy kasi, nagsawa na ata or japoy's just that INTO taekwondo.. anyway.. the housemates have yet to amaze me.. after all, of all pbb seasons, the last celebrity edition was what i watched least.. and what is it with the whole bitin thing.. i mean why have they made it a trend to not complete the whole set of housemates come opening time.. i know that it's plus-plus for advertising.. pero i think, it's quite unfair for everyone.. tapos... just maybe... there'd be this possibility that instead of people watching out for the remaining housemates to enter, they'd just drop watching altogether... owell.. that's only me talking... at sorry kung mahaba-habang comment sa pbb... di naman halata na i'm a fan.. socio paper: 0% done... well.. not really since i've already worked on it... pero i haven't written anything yet.. so puro preliminary stuff palang nagagawa ko... at least i have an outline na.. that's something... i'm gonna stop na.. because it's so kapal of me to be blogging when i haven't even written a single letter (gasp!) for my socio paper... and it's due later at 5pm! good luck to me... i'm gonna need all the luck i could get... one last... i hope crs lets me log-in na... haller! i want to study for the 2nd sem kaya!

who do you think it was that brought the bottle to her? a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 05:31 PM

guess where that line came from? haha... anyway... just read message in a bottle (by nicholas sparks) again... and as usual, i cried again... and yeah.. that's where the title was from... anyway... i know that i'm such a crybaby... i cry at almost every book i read and every movie i see.. pati ata sa iliad, naiyak ako eh.. and that has got to be something.. but in all fairness to nicholas sparks, he's one of the very few writers who i bother to read again and again... and he never fails to make me cry each time... i've only read four of his books but i loved each one... and of his three books that were turned into movies, guess what, i've watched all three! haha.. so you could say that i am a fan (although probably not as much as kamae is)... and whenever i want to reread one of my books, it's almost always that i read message in a bottle or a walk to remember.. super daming beses ko na silang nabasa. i think i read it three times in a row the first time i bought it. and when i need to be senti, i just read the different letters and i cry each time.. with a walk to remember naman, it's like i partly memorize it na.. anyway.. so, needless to say, i loved message in a bottle.. it has such great emotions that you just could relate even if in truth, you reslly don't... haha.... sometimes, i think, could this really happen in real life? but moments later, what the heck, i don't care... naiiyak naman ako so i'm just happy with that... anyway.. the book's about destiny and loving even after being hurt (so much!) before... and coincidentally, my sister's been playing this song in her player for n times and i found it very apt for the book that i've been reading.. so here it is... Fall for You Nina There's a right or wrong to know for everything And the truth is somewhere written in between But there's always something missing in the dark Until you find the true condition of the heart Well, I can visualize the pieces of a dream, But it's not as far away as it may seem But if truth be told, it's you that holds the key To the question that defines my destiny ::chorus:: I've been in love, a time or two I've seen the world, but not with you I wanna fly and spread my wings I don't wanna cry, I wanna sing I wanna live and take a chance I'm not afraid to love again I wanna fall, fall for you And I want you to fall for me too I've had plenty conversations with my heart Coz I want this thing to work, not fall apart So, I ask my heart how it can be so sure And it answers me because your heart is pure I've got every expectation that is true Coz my heart won't lie to me, much less to you But if truth be told, it is you that holds the key To the future that becomes our destiny ::chorus:: Until the mountain snow melts into the stream My heart flows like the river to sea To the heavens up above, I pray to God our destiny is love ::chorus:: so.. i guess that's all..

spangles! a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 09:28 PM

unlike some people i know, i'm still enjoying the sembreak since i'm really good at being this bum thing... haha.. anyway.. besides, i'm sick, sort of (since my fever doesn't really have a chance of developing if i keep popping bioflu into my mouth, ayt? sorry liver.) anyway... i'm still loving the break and generally just bumming around... i could sleep as much as i want to... haha... anyways.. i've been going online and browsing through numerous online stores. and it's just so fun since i don't have to be guilty of putting things (a.k.a. school stuff) on hold just to satisfy my shopaholic cravings... anyway, i want to start my accessories "business" na tuloy... although i still can't since i don't have materials yet.. anyway.. i hope to be able to buy the stuff soon... since i have some designs na... woohoo! anyway... i guess that's all for now.. mwah!

i wanna be a make-up artist a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 05:57 PM

haha.. anyway... when i was still in grade school, each section would have to perform once for that year... it was usually a song number, a dance number or both... needless to say, most of these performances allowed us that one day of freedom when we could officially and legally wear make-up (we'd even flaunt it to anyone who'd bother).. anyway.. when i was in grade 5, our teacher allowed us to wear make-up for our cheerleading-ish performance... but since i was special, while all my classmates were being prepped by our adviser in matching pink lipstick and lilac eyeshadow, i was doing my make-up, on my own! yes! that was the make-up artist in me at work... so now that i remember, ever since ever, it's been one of those things that just naturally come to me.. anyway.. with the many budding make-up schools out there i can finally get my hopes up in becoming a make-up artist... haha yun lang naman.. so kung merong mabait dyan, baka pwede nyo akong ienroll sa make-up classes! i'd be willing to attend! haha.. ciao! uber and out! (haha... kuyanatic!)

belle de jour a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 06:31 PM

i gave in to the squeals of my heart... i had a 2008 belle de jour power planner reserved for me na... it costs 548 pesos, a few pesos cheaper than last year's, but since i reserved it before oct 31, i'd have a 10% discount! yay! sa 2nd week of november pa daw siya magiging available so i'd have time to make ipon pa.. or else, i'll have to get money from my almost non-existent bank account.. owell.. it's gonna be a good investment, i hope.. to reserve, go here

gap in manila a wish was made by bittersweet_041 @ 07:20 PM

the first time my aunt gave me a bottle of gap so pink, i was instantly hooked. i loved the scent. it was youthful, sweet and citrus-y at the same time... and its "consistency" was like that of victoria's secret's. however, a bottle could only last so long... and because there was no gap store in sight (inStyle suddenly disappeared in rob manila), there was no way i could buy. heck, it wasn't even available online.. so the only way i could have it was to have my tita bring it here which is quite impossible because she's probably going back here in the phils after so many years pa or have her ship some.. but that's quite useless too since the shipping fee would probably be greater than the cost of the cologne itself and i am not that desperate... so, when i found out that gap is being brought here in manila, i was ecstatic.. besides the probability of finally having gap so pink at the tip of my hands, i could see gap's collection na in person and if fortunate, could buy some stuff from there... i just love their clothes... they could easily fit most of manila's no-fuss look.. and they're just so comfortable... yippee!!! i'm excited... yay! *the first two gap stores will open in glorietta 4 and trinoma on november 15...
