birthday double up

Whuut? It's almost September! Time flies so fast. You've probably heard that line bajillion of times already. It's like few weeks back I was celebrating my birthday with friends and now I'm almost two months late with my blog update. Yes, my birth month happens to be July. Shussh.

Moving on, I had to celebrate my birthday a little early because Mhog and I share the same birth month. He's born July 9 while I, July 17. We checked the calendar for the perfect day to go out and poof July 13 is exactly in the middle of our birthdays. Perfect, indeed.

Originally, our plan is just to chill at Nok's place then buy food somewhere near when we get hungry.  But when everyone's in their place already, Nok had the brightest idea ever.. go to TriNoma! Parang sinundo lang namin syang lahat then off we go to the mall. Ang swerte ng baklaaa! :)

We chose to dine at Max's. Of course, we were catching up while eating. The last time I saw Jun and Job was when we trekked Pinatubo. Mhoi and Nok? I can't even remember the last time I saw them. Close friends pala ah? Hahaha!

the magic of Mhog's phone

thinner days, gaawdd

One of the topics we had that I can clearly remember is health. Grabe! We were a bunch of 26 to 27 years old people but some of us are taking meds like that of a 40 to 50 something aged people. Palibhasa, as the generation continues, palala na ng palala ang lifestyle - bad habits, vices etc. A reality check once in a while won't hurt.

ayaan, antatakaw pa :P

Nok.Apple.Mhoi

So anyway, after our dinner we went strolling. We stayed the longest at the beauty section of the department store. Hala sigeee, subok ng make up ang dalawa. Hahaha! I, on the other hand, just watched. Mhog and Jun walked around, obviously bored. Ang ending? Ako pa ang napabili ng eye liner recommended by Jhov. Hahaha!

girls will always be girls :P

Jun and Job had other commitments so they had to leave early. Mhog, Nok and I spent the rest of the night at Starbucks. Endless kwentuhaaann with a touch of seriousness. I'm really close to these two because back in college, the three of us used to belong to a group we refer to as Barag and with the tag line "Hindi nabibili ng pera ang kaligayahan". Hahaha! Ang kakornihan ng college days. Bow.

Nok gave Samantha as her name. ugh.

We ended the night when Nok had to leave already for another commitment aka gimik. :P

someone's getting fat, yadaah yadaah

No one really believes me when I say I'm getting fat, well, until recently when my tummy made its all time biggest bulge. Suddenly, everyone in the house agrees with me. Mom would even answer me with "ang takaw mo, eh." Hehehe. I plea guilty.

Here's what happened. Early last month, I had to fake my appetite since I noticed I'm getting thin. I literally forced myself to eat a lot, then I got used to it - not much to my surprise. Have I ever said I have a love-hate relationship with my weight? I'd realize I'm getting thin, I'd eat a lot and then I'd gain weight; I'd realize I'm getting bigger, I'd eat less and then I'd lose weight. The cycle used to be that easy. Not this time.

Matter of factly, I'm resting from another zumba session right now. By the way, if you happen to be leaving in a cave and you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a sample zumba video I posted before. And oh, leave your freaking cave once in a while. :* Moving on, I already have other videos but I have yet to learn them. Thanks again to our fellow blogger, Bee, for sending them over.

Just to show off, oops, I mean to share hehehe, here are some photos from two of my recent zumba sessions. And yes, I love dressing up appropriately despite the fact that no one will see me. Heeey, I work out while locked up in my room.


excuse the side fats, aka love handles

Jumping to the fashion aspect of this post, both set of workout clothes are from Forever 21. I sure am loyal to this brand, it gets annoying. Well, hello there, mom. :)

That's it! I just had to share what's keeping me busy lately. Though aside from this, July & August were made for going out with friends so expect more life stories. As I always say, I have penchant for documenting life, so please bear with me.

the andy grammer obsession part 4

the andy grammer obsession part 3

Did you actually think that I'm done with this whole Andy Grammer thing? Nah-uuhhh!! I'm not stopping until I have documented every single song he has, or at least the ones I can find. Here's goes my OCD again. Hahaha!

For today, I'll be sharing the songs from his newest extended play - Crazy Beautiful. Just two songs, actually. This is going to be quick, I promise.

Third (?) EP: Crazy Beautiful (2013)

Track 01
Crazy Beautiful


Lyrics
She's got big brown eyes and tangled hair
Voguing in her underwear
And nothing is better
Than doing nothing together

Now she got a toothbrush as a microphone
Belting out the Rolling Stones
And I'm the last one to stop her
Can't believe that I got her

[Pre-Chorus]
We get so close
Kissing like eskimos
It's a little bit much, I know
I do

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Verse 2]
She got a classic style that's all her own
A smile you can hear through the telephone
And she says she's a rebel
But she's way too sentimental

And she's precious even when she's mad
Gets angry and I start to laugh
And I know that it's nothing
She's just pushing my buttons

[Pre-Chorus]
We get so close
Kissing like eskimos
It's a little bit much, I know
I do

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Bridge]
She's a little bit wild, a little bit mad, a little bit uh-oh beautiful
Wild, a little bit bad, a little bit uh-oh
And I never can know her too well
Oh still I never want anyone else

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Ending]
She's a little bit wild, a little bit mad, a little bit uh-oh beautiful
Wild, a little bit bad, a little bit uh-oh
And I think I love her more than I even understand



Track 02
I Choose You

Lyrics
When we're born into this world
We don't really get to say
Little boys and little girls handed the brand new families
There comes a time in life
When we finally get to choose
And I choose you, I choose you

We can't give our two cents
Of how tall we want to be
We don't get an opinion
On our ethnicity
But the one we spend our life with
That we get to choose
And I choose, I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you

Everybody has one,
A choice they get to make
Half human half heaven
That decides the family tree
Now we all pick the branches
That then becomes the roots
I choose you, I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you

I was worried I would not know what to do
If I was in these shoes
Standing here it's clearer than the sky is blue
That I choose you, I choose you
With so little we control, thank God it's in the rules
We get to choose, and I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you


And heeey, have I told you I'm sick? Gaaah! Sick for the nth time this year. #fml
