Friday - 1st of March ♥

Got out of the office with such good vibes. Sun's up. Weather's not too Hot. I'm wearing pink (Like it matters haha..)  ...Its just a Crazy Beautiful Friday morn =) My body feels so tired from all the catching up I had to do at work but other than that , I am quite in a sunny mood and I guess that's a good thing cos its the 1st of March and Summer's just about to start!! Yahooooo!!!!

I know I promised to do some outfit posts soon but I don't feel like my face is camera ready today   so thats gonna have to wait till this weekend :(  Howevah.. I couldn't wait to show you what I got from the thrift shop so Ima post it right now and hopefully tmw or on Sunday I can show you how id wear 'em! Cool!? :D

Here's the first one I bought :

I love the "Manhattan-ness/K pop'y" thing about this coat and the soft feel of the fabric. You know how its so hard to bring out your fashionista self on rainy days cos there's just too many things u have to worry about!? Like for me,  There is absolutely nothing worse than soaking wet jeans up to your knees and waiting for 3 hours to dry them, Ugh... ,plus there's this cold weather,  slippery streets , Too much hassle that sometimes you had to sacrifice ur glam for the day to be comfortable especially commuting people like me! What's good about this coat is how its fabric is enough to keep you warm so i wont have to frustrate myself in granny sweaters :p , I can pair with a dress , dark colored leggies or  I can wear a tank top, Skinny jeans  and some knee high booties..Can you picture it? :D I can't wait to wear it haha Aminin nyo , Ang lakas nya maka Burberry!? :P

Now the second one's a plain black blazer...Its something I can wear during dress up week at work or during corporate affairs , or better yet , If i wanna look chic n casual, I can just pair it with short shorts ,  tank top ,white shirtt, stilts and that shall do the fab trick!

That's it for me today sweethearts! Tmw ill work on my backlogs and hopefully complete it within the day.
Wishing you guys a Happy Friday! I;m sure most of you are tired from all that work you had to do all week so grab urself a bottle of cold cold beer and have tons of well deserved fun tonite! My weekend doesn't officially start till tmw so my "fun" will have to wait till morn haha  Later sweethearts! ♥

Quickie

Just got home from work and I'm uber tired :(  Its almost the weekend so I'm starting to feel like a drained battery :P

I did have my share of fun today though ! Dropped by my favorite thrift shop in the world and did my usual 5 minute payday shoppin spree and I got me a Burberry inspired/ K Pop themed coat and a chic blazer for P199.00 only! Aint that a supah steal!? :D

Ima blog about it soon dearies... I think Its just about time I do some updated outfit posts :/ The last one I made way way back August and that's just unacceptable to be gone for so long! Agree!? :p
No worries...Do allow yours truly to take my well deserved beauty rest  and I promise Ima flood you with some really cool stuff this weekend! How's that sweethearts!?  :D

Okiedokie I wish you all a Happy Thursday wherever you are, whoever you may be.
Leave you guys with my LSS song for some gv this morn :D Hey Ho by The Lumineers! ♥

Hi Stranger :)

I saw a guy and a girl hugging each other on my way home but for some strange reason , I couldn't tell if they were "together together" or if they're just really sweet friends . I remember you all of a sudden.. How we were totally not a couple but we didn't care about a thing when were together..Or How you hated the man who called me fat so much you wanted to punch him in the face lol or how we used to watch our favorite bands together and How you weren't half as embarrassed as I am when you cuddle me in public especially while were lined up for the meet and greet with my "nemesis" watching.. Or maybe that one precious time when I cried so much and you held me in your arms the way you did so I'd stop crying...

I seriously feel that if every crying girl in the world would be held the way you did then the world would be saved from so much sadness...

I miss you stranger.

Once upon a fangirl's life.

The start of the "Forever 16" curse.

.

One afternoon in 1998 I found my neighbor watching the TIVO with stuff I have never seen in my entire
 life...It was MTV!!!!!!!!

 The video then was from the very cute and tiny Aaron Carter's  "Crazy Little Party Girl" ! Eversince I was a kid , My day won't be a day if I don't get to sing SO seeing something existing like  'MTV".. It was Love at First Sight !  I was like Ariel that very first time she walked on the shore with her new feet. lol  I don't even remember how it all happened but I did recall getting so hooked on MTV and being obsessed with the Spice Girls, Hanson,Solid Harmonie (ring a bell, anyone!?) , I wasn't really much of a BSB fan (unlike my bestfriend since 8, Corrine who was obsessed with Nick Carter peace C! ) but me and my sister , we'd have atleast one imaginary boyfriend in every boy group/band with a music video playing on MTV! lol 

In the 90's Boybands were the biggest thing on Earth!!! With that said,  There were crazy rivalries formed by the  fans themselves that I seriously doubt the bands even know about  ha! There's Boyzone vs Backstreetboys vs N'Sync and ofcourse The Moffatts vs Hanson. Who would miss that one out!?
Having discovered the "Tulsa" boys first , I thought It was "required" of me to hate The Moffatts! I would diss them in any given opportunity that presents itself to me and though I'm starting to have this curious eye on the long haired blonde streaked guy that is Scott. I would tell everyone, I hate them to death secretly memorizing "I'll be there for you" when I'm alone in my room, that includes my sister ( who's btw first love was Zac Hanson!)  Until One day ,  They realize they should release an ultra-cheesy song called "Miss you Like crazy" with a  video starring Dave's big dreamy eyes and Scott's cute pouty lips and Being that I am a vulnerable 12 y/o girl , I was left without an option...The next thing I know I would save my baon
( school allowance for the TFC subscribers reading this :P ) to buy posters, pictures, songhits , their albums
or pretty much just everything with their faces on it. My room looked like a Boyband museum! 

I started forgetting about my infatuation with Taylor Hanson and started believing that my whole existence was tailored to a fate with Scott haha... Creepy right? If I'm Scott, I'd be creeped out too! But I was 12 and When u're 12, It was LOVE ♥ 

The very first time I saw The Moffatts live was June 27, 1998. I would never forget that cos that was the first time I've heard of a promo tour and saw a foreign band perform live! Yup. LIVE. They were at the ground floor and I was at the 4th floor. How pathetic right!? There were atleast 20,000 people at the mall (SM Megamall was the venue) and when Scott looked up to check out the crowd , I could swear that He looked at me. After 10 years, I am sure he didn't. lol . I don't even where I got that idea from. I'm like a Martian who grew up in Fairytopia raised by Flora, Fauna , Merryweather and Sebastian.

Well Anyway, Never in my dreams have I imagined I would ever see Scott upclose. Like NEVER but I never stopped hoping. The second time they came back for a concert tour, My mom won't give me money. I was devastated. One of my schoolmate's sister was the biggest Moffatt fan. She told me I could see them live if we go to this local TV station where they were set to appear live. I thought my dream was coming true but We got there and there were atleast 10,000 other girls wishing the same thing. As expected I went home not seeing a strand of Scott's hair. And the whole time, My mom thought I was in school. She never found out ( until I guess she sees this entry? ) that I skipped school that day.


The rest of the year and the months after were spent obsessing over these guys!  October of 1999, They did their third tour. I decided at that time that I will do whatever it takes to see them live but the most money I could come up with was P200.00  :( Its not even enough to get one person to the concert really!  I ended up going there anyway dragging my friend "Neneng" and By the time we got to Folk Arts Theatre , The show already started and We didn't have tickets yet! A man selling tickets came up to us and offered to sell them but we couldn't afford his price, He asked how much money I have with me, I said p200 and he gave us 2 tickets without a question! I was the happiest person in the entire world! We ran inside to what was the very first concert I have ever been into.

With only 20 pesos left for fare. We left the venue on cloud 9 not even worrying that we have got no idea AT ALL where to take our ride home. I was 13 and Neneng was 11. lol . So we kept walking and walking until we reached Pedro Gil. We were taken aback by the loud screams across the road from where we were walking , so we let curiousity lead the way and to our surprise, We were standing in front of this bar called "Ratsky" where the guys were set to appear in a few minutes!  Savvy eh!? We know we couldn't get in but we stayed outside and made some friends and in an awesome turn of events , met the nicest 3 people who offered to treat us two so me and N could get inside. It was a dream come true! Half an hour later I was in the middle of the dance floor , surrounded by dancing people , motionlessly staring at Scott , couldn't believe that it was actually happening. That he's few steps away from me.  It was the most surreal thing ever.

After half an hour of another  sweet dream come true , Me and Neneng were on our continous search for the jeepney to take us  home WHEN in yet another AMAAAZING turn of events we happen to walk into  "Pan Pacific Manila"...it was The Moffatts official residence at that time!  Hundreds of girls were camping outside the hotel and I happen to meet really sweet fans who have successfully convinced me to stay within 10 seconds. This was the very first time that I stayed up late totally without my mom's permission.
I remember how scared I was to go home but I love the guys so much, I couldn't risk NOT taking the chance! I met one girl who was willing enough to keep me company to drop Neneng home and go back there with me so I can camp with them overnight. At that time, It was the boldest and most fun thing I have ever done! We spent the rest of the night camping outside with a bunch of girls, singing Moffatt songs, Exchanging funny stories about this unexpected "event",  It was nothing I've ever experienced!

In the morning, The numbers of  fans coming into the hotel increased by 50%. Fangirl after fangirl were trying to outwit each other on how they can get inside after seeing Dad Frank walkin' around the hotel's cafe! I was one of those girls :P I managed (Again I dont recall how haha ) to be one of the few ones who got inside. While we were inside , One of our friend decided she'd wanna eat at the cafe and as we kept her company to eat, One of the hotel people passed by us and asked us " Anong ginagawa nyo dito? Eh Andun sila sa taas eh!" I mustve dropped whatever I had with me going up cos the only thing I could remember was running on my way up the staircase not caring about a thing in the world with just 5 letters in my head, Go figure..lol. Next thing I know Scott was right in front of me with a knapsack on  waiting for the elevator and there was absolutely nothing , I mean NOTHING between us. You would expect that after what I went through, that I'd do something.Atleast "Hi" right?  I would expect that too!  WELL, Guess what?  I didn't get to do anything!  I couldn't even get a friggin' word to come out of my mouth haha I was too starstruck to do ANYTHING.

The elevator closed down and even after theyre gone, I was still standing right in front of it couldn't believe what I just saw. There were about 200 girls 'round the hotel. There were just me and about 5 girls who got that close enough with the guys. It was too much for me to drink in..One of the girls I was with had to DRAG me literally cos I wouldn't move from where I was. We ended up right outside the carpark and I remember how the guys were inside a white van and as the van slowly makes it way out, In front of me was Scott , a window apart looking at me waving goodbye. Yet again, I was starstrucked. My head was like, "Hey moron!  that's Scott, Do something!"  My hand seemed to have a mind of its own cos It was unknowingly waving goodbye back.  ever so slowly without me.

So there ya go , That's how this tale of crazy fangirling had started. I still recall everything like it happened last week . lol

I knew at that moment that I would never ever be satisfied just seeing 'em on MTV or at a concert stage far apart from me and Boy, did I live with that.

It was the first day of my life that I believed that If you want something so bad, You can make it happen , ......That no matter how impossible it may seem ... DREAMS do come true ♥

If you're wondrin what triggered this "reminiscin" lol It was right after I saw the video below :

Home for Christmas (The Moffatts 2012)


Here's some snapshots from the video!

After 14 years, They're still as adorbs as ever! =)

My a1 in Cebu adventures ( Last day)

We woke up super early cos me and Arni wanted to check out the pool before she heads out to the airport.
And btw ..Im just feeling the need to mention that at this time...My voice was starting to come back lil by lil. (yup!..On my last friggin day!) How extremely helpful!

 Arni's flight's at noontime and we also had to check out from Waterfront at 12 noon. We had no plans whatsoever to go after the guys no more being that its our last day and we just wanted to act like the tourist that we are! As far as I can remember we have not had the chance to play the part cos were too busy ... u know.....mingling with the guys ;)

After a quick swim..We packed our stuff and headed down for some pictures with Arni before she leaves for the airport..Arni didn't wanna have breakfast at the hotel so Me and Lui figured we'd have the breakfast buffet back at UNO's, right after our "photo op". Arni left after about half an hour and me and Lui got inside Uno's around 10 am. I was starving a little so I looked for the bacon right away and *Drumroll please*.. Seated right in front of  the juicy crisp bacon was Mark and Chris!  I swear when I saw Mark eating there with Chris, I wanted to leave bcos I was too afraid they'd think we were following them which is sooo not the case this time around! I was too hungry so I just decided not to look at them while quickly grabbing my food. Lui did the same thing and wow its almost like we weren't really starving cos after seeing the guys     We  sure couldn't eat!

We knew that Chris is leaving that day so we weren't really surprised that he left first. We weren't supposed to approach them no more but a pair of ladies working at the hotel stopped him for a pic and he willingly obliged. Lui made an awesome point by making me realize, There's not much left to lose since its my last night and we're leaving the hotel in a bit! I agreed in one condition, She'll be the first to approach Chris.
So there..I went after her...I got to hug Chris again, took pictures again and I got to talk to him , at last!
He even said "Take Care" after :D I owe this moment to Lui babe!

Few more minutes passed and this time , it was Mark leaving UNO's. We waited till the ladies approached him first , Then I waited after Lui and Mark chatted with us for a bit ..Got to hug him again and I remember I told him were checking out and heading back to Manila and he said sumthin that sounded like, "Will we be at the same blah blah'...I couldnt remember for the life of me what it was LOL..It just came back to me like after it already happened! I do not even remember how the whole convo went cos I am going through so much emotions not wanting to leave Cebu and already missing them. *sigh* After that sweet moment,  We went to get our stuff to get ready to move to another hotel..Lui is leaving at night time while I leave 4 am next morn... We planned on looking for a cheaper place to stay being that It'll just be myself that night.

Talk about ironic, I went to the counter to check out with my stuff and in my right , lined up at the counter next to me,  was Mark again! LOL. He was talking to some old lady at the same time so I didn't bother him no more, Honestly I am out of guts so I just smiled and he smiled back.  While I was at the counter, Lui had the chance to speak briefly to Mark after the old lady let her go before she came back 2 minutes after and stole Mark from Lui again lol Lui said Mark was going to move to another hotel near the beach to get some tan.I envy the people who got to see him that day on the beach :/

After checking out, we went straight outside to get a cab, waved goodbye to Mark with such heavy hearts...Couldn't help wishing it didn't have to end.

I will post me and Lui's pictures on a different entry our photos from the Taoist temple.

Its been 5 months but I can't get over all the fun I had in Cebu! I feel that this would bring a smile to my face forever and ever! I remember posting my picture with the guys captioned "I miss these guys" prolly 2 days after they left and when Mark "liked" the photo on FB, I was over the moon! It was as if he's telling me that He remembers me...and for a fan like myself..it means so much =)

Photos!

Miss you :(







*END of  A1 in Cebu 2012 *

My a1 in Cebu adventures part 3

 11/24 Magellan's Pub Part 2

Last night staying at Waterfront.

I totally forgot to mention that the craziest part of this entire trip was how I immediately lost my voice the moment the plane landed on Cebu grounds. My friend even said, You're like Ariel with ur prince charmings here but unable to talk.. So close yet so far! T'was IRONICALLY true! I could barely hold a convo! I'm telling you , On the first day, I could barely speak but t'was still somewhat understandable. On the second day, it was major effort to have the words come out of my mouth...On the third day which is what this post is all about, its just air. LOL

Lui woke up around 7 am cos she had to go meet up with some friends to go to another a1 event so Me and Arni decided we'd stay at the lobby first to wait for the guys ( 'cos she have yet to take solo pictures with them at that time ) but Oh yeah,  Before hanging out at the lobby lounge, we claimed our breakfast buffet for two at the hotel's resto "UNO" where I prolly had about 10 glasses of fresh mango juice and 2 plates of bacon LOL..You see..I dont ever have any problem with buffet meals! I'm sure u can tell from my love handles haha Gross me! LOL Im working on it, okayyyyy!?? Defensive much lang haha :P

After breakfast, we stayed at the lobby lounge and got me some alky namely Tanduay Ice. lol. I know its early morn but their bar looks so inviting..I couldn't say NO! I really am not an alky lol but I'm kinda loving the chill vibe that morn and its just a bottle anyway..Besides I could totally use some artificial confidence so Id have the guts to steal B from S! haha Kidding..As much as I wud love to hate S, she seemed really sweet! She even followed me on Twitter after I met her on a presscon last year ..I just don't have it in me to hate her....*nose starts to elongate*...:P

I had the chance to admire the understated opulence the hotel has to offer..the interiors...The ceiling def stunned me...We passed the time taking photos..I think it was after an hour when the guys went down
and Arni's much awaited solo pics finally transpired!

Snappies below :D

The ceiling :)

                                                                                                                                                             

Dahil na miss ko ang omelet ni Koya =)

            

finally Arni and a jowa pic with Ben :D

Mark saw I cudnt talk so He asked if I'm ok and that he hopes my throat gets better :)

We knew they were on their way to do some ribbon cutting for another charity event so we  opted to stay  at the hotel and rest up for a few hours. Afternoon that same day, They were scheduled to have a cd singing at some mall and since I haven't got me the new cd as of yet, we decided we'd join in!

 Mark saw me and asked about how my throat is doing again. Isn't he a sweetheart!?
I also asked Christian if he was leaving the next day, Lucky for me, He understood what I was saying even when I couldn't even hear myself lol I can tell he was starting to feel bad that I couldn't speak so he was trying to keep the conversation to a minimum ! And finally...Third kiss I got from Ben! Scoreeee!!! LOL

While at the signing, We heard from a friend that the guys are going back to Magellan's pub that night and that they might perform..Cant afford to miss that one out especially b'cos its Arni and Lui's last night in Cebu..We thought we'd so some serious "prettyfying" for the event and Conviently, Me and Arni found this salon right outside the mall so we did a quick trip. We had our hair ironed out before heading back to the hotel. Karir eto teh! LOL

So after slipping into our party clothes, we took a cab to Magellan's.  Right in front of the stage , There was a table set up for three! Ahhhh Meant to be..:D The guys did not have us wait that long and I guess they got the memo cos they looked so fab like Chris in his suit so adorably cute!

They also graced us a few songs and it was such a treat! 

They were swapping parts of their popular songs with Chris even imitating Ben's voice and Ben doing the same to M and Chris. T'was so funny, we could die laughing! And I gotta say Its the first time I saw Chris being so funny! He's usually the quiet one but He's on a roll that night! Aside from that . My favorite part was when they sang "Take on Me" and b'cos I was right in front of Ben, He would look straight at me through the chorus pointing out the mic to me like he wants me to participate in the singing...LOL..like I have a voice that nyt!?  When they got off the stage, Mark passed by right in front of our table...He was sort-ish getting mobbed but still managed to acknowledge us by giving me a soft slow pat on my shoulder..Ahhh I think I almost screamed for more haha.I bet Mark's the sweetest boyfriend ever! I'd like to find out! Haha I got the chance to take a pic with Chris and i so love how we totally looked like we just hosted our engagement party! Arni and Lui hit the jackpot too by scoring a jowa pic with Ben and Mark! Ahhhh What a wonderful night!

Chris was just thanking everyone for coming to our engagement party! Nyahahaha (wish ko lang!)

A pic of me and Lui hatin' life haha
