Glitter-Toms!
I haven’t used my Toms in a while now because they already look beat and old. But since I’ve always liked wearing them because they’re very convenient, I’ve decided to give it a make-over! I’ve seen a lot of tutorials online on how to make glitter flats, (like how my friend Jo did hers) so I decided to try the same method on my Toms.
1. I spread glue all over the...
2012, you have been cruel!
1. To start off, someone broke into my car! They broke my front seat passenger window and took my iPod touch. People say I’m partly to blame because I should have not left it there in the first place. But who would have known that I’d be luring any robbers when my car was parked inside our gated underground parking structure! Seriously!
2. I have yet to confront a friend about a...

There is a difference between Giving Up & Moving...
xteenagewasteland:
Giving up is when you have a chance to change things, but you think it’s too difficult or not worth the trouble or just stop pursuing something and just give up on the spot.
Moving on is when you realize that you can’t change things or that it’s better that you don’t try any longer giving up or failure isn’t the best option. Moving on is another thing, moving on as in that...

Of Fat and Denial...
After not getting up for an hour after my alarm went off, I scurry out of my bed to get to my 9:30 class (as per usual). As I open my suitcase of newly laundered clothes, I grabbed my a-day-fresh-out-of-the-dryer jeans. I put them on.. (wait, make that) I forced them on because jeans usually shrink a little on first use after being in the dryer (a phenomenon I really only experience in the...

LACMA
An update about my life.
I am currently a senior at UCLA taking Psychology. I am a mere 5 months away from graduation and I have never been this scared in my entire life. I am the youngest in my family so I’ve always shoved responsibility up someone else’s lot plus I REALLY REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO AFTER SCHOOL. I’ve been in school all my life what do you suppose I know other than that?!...
Let me tell you a little story.
I abandoned my first tumblr because my followers consisted mainly of my friends. I started becoming too conscious as to what I posted because too much joy or sadness triggers questions from them (or so I thought in my head). So I made this tumblr initially with the tagline ”live, laugh, dance, and write like no one is looking.” I used this as my own personal diary with a...

Sisters-Day-Out
Me and my sister decided to spend some quality time with each other two days ago. Dates with my sister always start off with food!
My sister brought me to the newly opened restaurant in Cerritos, Stacked! From what I know, it is the first in my area to use iPads for order taking and the best part -the customer controls it. Long gone are the days of wrong orders and awkward silences. Say hello...
Guess who got engaged!!!
Oct 21st 2011 (Forgot to publish this sooner! Well, better late than never! haha)
Not me! HA-HA! It’s my brother and his girlfriend since college!
I love my brother to death and I couldn’t be any happier to know that he’s marrying someone who I’ve loved all along, Ate Trina! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE WEDDING!!!
2011 in Photobooth Pictures!
Starting this year with a recap of my 2011 in photobooth pictures. As I was compiling this, I realized that the first half of my 2011 pictures have been deleted. But still, these photos remind me of how my year went. The best thing that happened to me in 2011 would probably be joining the Advanced Filipino Program! Through that, I was able to spend 10 weeks in the Philippines and meet friends that...

Next stop -world peace!
I was browsing online for something I wanted this Christmas. I’ve always aspired to own a tablet ever since I tried vector art, so I thought Christmas was a good excuse to ask (or announce publicly on my facebook) Santa (aka my parents) for it. However, I was too damn broke to buy Christmas presents for my friends that instead of a gift, all I could ask for was shopping money....

Christmas 2011
Spent Christmas eve with the family again this year. We have a new addition -the Pasia’s. Good thing since my other cousins went back to the Philippines for the Holidays. More people always means better parties! Played some games and exchanged gifts as per usual. Here goes my photo post!

WatchA Christmas greeting from the Gonzales family! ‘Tis the season to be jolly and grateful for all the blessing! I, for one, am thankful for my silly, silly, family who never fails to assure me that I am loved. Merry Christmas everyone!!! :)
things I've come to realize
caseykaui:
if you have to talk about how real you are
you probably aren’t
if you have to brag about your humility
you’re lacking it
if you have to point out your confidence
you’ve probably got a lot of insecurities
if you make fun of
other girls or guys who are ‘hoez’ or who like attention
you are mostly likely the one trying to gain some
I’ve learned most of my life lessons through...

My very first tutorial!
Some of my friends have asked me quite a few times to teach them how I edit my photos, but never have I thought about making a tutorial until Geva explicitly asked me to. She linked me to one of my old profile pictures (the one above) and I did not expect to spend four hours trying to replicate it. I think it’s because I don’t really have a consistent style. I like to experiment...

Support Original Filipino Art!
I finally got my brother’s pasalubong (Pasalubong is the Filipino tradition of a homecoming gift) from his recent trip to the Philippines in the mail today!
He got me four volumes of Trese comics, just like I asked. I am not a big comics person but I have always been fascinated by Philippine folklore. I heard about this series from vivatregina.tumblr.com. “Treses is...

Parokya Ni Edgar
Watched every single Parokya ni Edgar gig in LA since I got here. Parang nasa Pilipinas lang ulit ang pakiramdam. Kaya kahit paulit-ulit sa isang taon, maasahang pupunta at pupunta pa rin ako.

Bamboo ooh
Scratching “See Rivermaya live” off my bucket list. Although it really wasn’t the entire band, Bamboo sang some of my favorite Rivermaya classics like Hinahanap-hanap kita and Elesi. I can’t explain how much sex Bamboo’s voice screams. Hot damn. I didn’t expect him to sound that good. Looking into getting a copy of his new album! :3
A Threesome
My life has been all about school lately that last night’s random adventure with Pao and Joan was just what I needed!
It began with Paolo who had tickets for the Spring Sing Encore show at the Grammy museum last night. We were an hour late -thanks to LA traffic and confusing parking choices. Still, we were able to catch Scatternotes’ last song and Oh boy, were they good! So since we...
