TACTOLOGY: Rediscovered

I was going through the day thinking of what I should blog about tonight. I went from anything and everything. At first I was thinking about blogging about Paris or Britney, but then I thought to myself, I haven't blogged about my personal life in a while. I've been digging for the best ideas to apply to tonight, and all I could think about are my hopes for the near future.

So its about 15 more days until I head out to the Philippines. Like I mentioned in the previous blogs, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE PHILIPPINES. I honestly do not know what to expect when I head there. I know that I'll be heading to the many cities and some provinces, I just can't predict on whom I'll meet, what I'll eat, or even what I'll be wearing. It's going to be an adventure because it's in a country I know I can relate to, yet have the chance to discover a culture I'm not exposed to.

One person that I'm definitely going to miss is my boyfriend, Jaybe. We've been attached like no other for the past couple of years and this is going to be the first time in a while, that we're going to be separated. I remember two years ago when he went to the Philippines how hard it was for me to live each day knowing that I might not talk to him. He made it extra special because he did something so creative to help me deal with not having him near me. Basically, he compilated a CD for me with different songs that carried a specific theme which represented a feeling. He directed me to listen to one track on one day, and continue the CD up until the days when he got back. At the same time of listening to the track, he told me to light this candle that he got and read this special tag onto why he chose this song for that day. IT WAS UBER ROMANTIC! For example, I remember one of the tracks being THIS KISS by FAITH HILL because that was the song that was playing during the water show at Bellagio, Las Vegas. It was sweet. There were some songs that were totally random, but added some humor this whole thing. I, for sure, want to do something creative and sweet for him too, but I'm still in the process as to what I'll be doing. Any ideas?

Another thing that's been in my mind was school and the idea of moving down to San Diego in the Fall. We already did our apartment hunting, and Jaybe and I already have our fave, it's all in the matter of actually making everything official. He's going to know if he gets admitted to his school in July, just as I am going to notified if I'll be admitted to my program in late June (while I'm in the PI's). So technically, most of the changes won't take place until I come back. I really don't know what will happen.

One priority I know I have covered is my job. Since this is a temporary position, I already know that next Friday will be my last day. It was so ironic today, because I was discussing with my fellow co-workers that next Friday would be my last day and they were all sad about it. They said that I bring the new-hires together because of my charismatic personality. I guess it made me appreciate time more than ever. I should be taking advantage of the time here, with friends and family, because its true, I am planning on moving. So after I realized that, I now know how important it is to cherish the time I have with my loved ones here, at home.

New news! My myspace page is just about done regarding it's completion. I deleted my myspace account a couple of months ago due to an unfortunate event. I was going to make this an official deletion for I felt that the website would have no value or purpose. It wasn't until I realized that having the MySpace account did come and handy when it came to communicating with my distant and not-so-distant friends. I decided that deleting it was going to be a huge deal, since most of my friendship ties were connected through the network, and that deleting it would be a risk of losing them forever. But after about 3 months, and with the help of Jaybe and his creative sense of mind, my Myspace page will have it's World Premiere sometime at the end of this week. I have started back to zero friends and will be open to meeting new people, as well as having the goal to find the old and familiar.

If there are any fellow bloggers out there with a MySpace account, email me your addy and I'll be sure to get in touch with you.

I was talking with my co-workers yesterday about eyebrows and rather or not waxing, tweezing, or threading has the greatest results. We concluded that even though waxing is a faster procedure, that threading has the best results regarding accuracy and having a slower rate when it comes to growing back again. Tweezing, on the other hand is slightly painful and time consuming. It could even be a bit stressful when you realize that you plucked a little too much.

I have been waxing my eyebrows for about 4 years now (I remember my first time was right when I graduated high school and it was the night before I headed to Hawaii with my friends). But yeah since then, I've been waxing every 2 weeks. I have threaded my brows once, but never got to do it again. I know that threading is a little bit more pricier, and also wins because it carries less maintainence.

So what do you think is the best way to get that extra bit of eyebrow out of the way?

A)Waxing
B)Tweezing
C)Threading

New News is Good News

Today was an adventure. Me, Jaybe, and The Deuce headed down to San Diego again to take care of some business. Jaybe had to take an entrance exam for his school that he's planning on attending in the Fall. Since the test was two hours long, me and my bro ended up driving around the area. We routed ourselves to the Mission Valley Mall. The mall wasn't really that great. I mean, I remember going there like a year ago and all we bought were pretzels. But yeah, we ended up in the SUNGLASS HUT and we both tried on sunglasses. I loved these two PRADA SUNGLASSES! They fit me beautifully for once! lolz. Here's what they look like:

I was heading more towards the first one, what ya think?

Afterwards, we headed to the NORDSTROM RACK where I found these two contemporary/modern black wooden chairs that would go perfect for mine and Jaybe's apartment were planning on moving into this Fall.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket We've been talking a lot of what type of interior design were heading for and can't wait until we actually start buying everything. It's exciting! Now we know how TIGGAH AND POOH feel about thier new home. We also headed to BED, BATH, and BEYOND and found so many cute little things like shower curtains, rugs, and bedsheets that could help incorporate our design and ideas.

Anyway, we headed back to Jaybe's school and heard some good news. Turns out, Jaybe placed really high in his scores. He placed at the 93rd percentile overall, having 100% score on math. He's always been a math boy and I'm so proud to be with someone so smart on that subject. He's a big helper when it comes to our bill in high-end restaurants since he knows whats a good amount to put in. But yeah, Good Job Boo!!

We ended up having a good lunch with our close friend Nadine and her boyfriend Ian at the FASHION VALLEY MALL. Now that mall was more of our familiarity since it had high end stores. Loved it! We ended up eating at CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN which is a great place for a lunch! We got to know more about Ian since this was like the actual first time getting to know more about him at a personal level. Since he's from Chicago, our conversations were interesting ranging from difference in accents between LA and Chicago, to weather, to schools, etc. After lunch, we departed our ways and me and the boys headed to more apartment viewing.

I never realized how traffic the 15 HWY could be. I even missed an exit and got ourselves lost. San Diego could be a real complicated city to drive in, which is totally ironic coming from an LA boy. Anyway, the drive back home was tiring, only because I was exhausted from going to point A to point B to C D E F! lolz I swear, we drove a circle throughout San Diego today! But it was good because we got more familiar with more areas that we never knew existed!

Other news, is good news. I got a new job today! Well, its actually a temp job since I'll be heading to the Philippines in a month. The pay is great and it is full time. So we'll see how this goes. I actually start tomorrow from 8 to 4:30 in the early evening. This could be good because I'm planning on using this money to pay off more of my credit card bills and save for more apartment "stuff." Perfect timing, I guess. But for sure, I'll be posting more about this job in the next few days. Yikes!

Prepping Up for the PI's

Its still 2 months before me and my family head out to the Philippines. I'm still quite psyched from the fact that this is my first time going there. As a result, I decided that I need to start getting ready for what life could be like there for a 3 week period. I know one thing for sure..I need to go SHOPPING!! I ended up buying these shorts at ExpressMen the other day. The fit was alright. It wasnt too baggy like all the other cargo shorts that I've been trying on.

Yeah. I ended up taking that image from Express Fashion website.

Now I have to find a shirt for it.
