peace, love and watches

yes, I DO LOVE WATCHES. i can still remember i cried over a watch when i was, i think, 7 or 8 years old (i'm not really sure.) it was the time when i saw a watch that has a shape like a tamagotchi. i really like to have it because i find it very cute but my mom said i already have enough watches and that's the time i started crying. my parents have no choice but to give in and buy me the tamagotchi-shaped watch! how silly i was back then. hahaha!

now, i don't really own a lot of watches compared to other people. i also stopped asking. (lol!) i don't own very expensive watches. three of my watches (the big, round watches above; brown-strapped, black-strapped and gold) are from my dad. when he wore the black-strapped watch for the first time, i eyed it for a while and asked it from him a few moments after. same goes to the brown-strapped watch. the golden one, i didn't specifically asked for it. he just gave it to me when i asked for a golden watch. its an automatic Ricoh watch which he had 20 years ago! i really love it even though it needs a little repair. the other two that i already mentioned above are both Timex watches. as for my other watches, they have different brands: timex, citizen, limit, next, pulse.

right now, buying watches (or should i say, asking from my parents) is not my priority, but i don't mind being given these watches..

P.S. i just changed my blog's look and banner. what do you think? hope you like it. :)

a friend for keeps

hanabunana.

i'm thinking how am i going to start this post and right now, while i'm typing, i decided that i'll just be random and let my hands do the talking/typing.

First, let me introduce you to the girl in the pictures above.. she's HANNAH, a dear friend of mine whom i met 7 years ago when we were just in high school. the night we took these photos was also the night we watched Bruno Mars' Concert here in Cebu. i told her that i'm going to make a post about her when i'll have the time. i don't know if she really believed me, but anyway, whether she believed me or not and whether she likes it or not, she can do nothing about it. hahaha!

back to what i was saying.. yea, i met her 7 years ago. we became friends on our first year of high school until now (we're already on our 3rd year of college, btw.) but between those years, a lot of things happened. we did have A LOT of misunderstandings and i'm glad we were able to solve those misunderstandings. she'd seen me at my best and at my worst. she's always there whenever i need someone to talk to especially when i'm pissed off with someone or something. she listens and gives me opinion which makes me think on the brighter side. she pushes me forward and boosts up my confidence when i feel like i can't do a certain thing. she listens to my rants, brags and even my life's boring happenings! she always makes time for us (and our other friends) to catch up even though most of the time i couldn't come/ cancel at the last minute (she can still manage to be patient.) she likes to treat her friends because she just wants to. if she trusts a person, she will really trust wholly which makes you trust her wholly too. in other words, i can share everything even my darkest/deepest secret without the fear of being judged or criticized. she's fun to be with. she can be crazy at times (in a fun and good way) which makes you go crazy too. she taught/inspire me to take risks and enjoy life. in short, she's a kind of friend who you can really call a friend worth keeping for.

nothing can compare to pure happiness.

happiness is contagious.

it's summer, baby!

IT'S OFFICIALLY THE FIRST DAY OF MY SUMMER VACATION! (YAHOOOO!)

our duty just ended last night at exactly 8pm and now, i'm on my bed, blogging and listening to music with speakers in full volume which reminds me of my christmas vacation last year: everyday, i only listened to 16 songs (11/all songs from the script's science and faith album, satellite by B.o.B, christmas lights by coldplay, shake up christmas by train, coming home by diddy-dirty money ft. skylar gray, and.. i forgot the other one. hehe.)

okay, i lied.. because i did listen to other songs and 'everyday' is an exaggerated word to use, but those are the songs i remembered that i always play on repeat at that time.

today, i'm listening to all my songs in my iTunes library randomly because i have/want nothing specific to listen to just like what i want my summer to be like: RANDOM AND FUN!

i'll just leave you a song that's kinda perfect for a summer vacation! hahaha!

P.S. #1 -i don't own any of the photos above.

P.S. #2 -hope you'll have an amazing summer!

nobody's perfect

i just want to share Jessie J's new music video: NOBODY'S PERFECT. its one of my favorite songs from her new and first album, WHO YOU ARE. when i first saw the video, i was amazed because i didn't expect it to be bold and exaggerated; i was expecting it to look simple.. but what was i thinking? IT'S JESSIE J! hahaha! i didn't say the video's not good, in fact, i find it cool.

..and yea, i can totally relate to this song (that's why it's one of my fave!) i think most of us do, maybe not every line of it, but the song in general.

doo-wops & hooligans

040711.

last thursday was my dad's birthday (HAPPY BIRHTDAY!!!) it was also bruno mars' first concert here in Cebu, Philippines at the Waterfront Hotel, Lahug.

morning of that day, i had my duty in ICU. i hurriedly went home after my shift so that i can start and finish my requirements (which i thought was due the next day!) at around 6pm, we headed to the hotel. all we ate along the way was snickers chocolate which my friend, Hannah, bought for us (thaaaaaanks han!) at exactly 8pm, Michael Copon (Felix Taggaro from OTH, remember him?!) opened the show and sang, more or less, 5 songs. we waited almost an hour after Copon finished performing before Bruno Mars' went on stage.. but the waiting was worth it. people became lively and ecstatic when he went on stage even the lights were still out. when the lights were turned on, he started playing the drums and people begun shouting. he sang a couple of songs like: Other Side, Billionaire, The Lazy Song, Marry You, Billy Jean, Liquor Store Blues, Count On Me, Grenade, and Just The Way You Are. after he sang his supposedly last song (just the way you are) and after he and his band went backstage, the fans kept on shouting ''ONE MORE!''.. he gave in and sang Runaway Baby! oh yea, they sang and danced! he also said he was a proud filipino and he promised that he'll be back pretty sooooon!

after the concert, we went to Hebrews to eat and drink and drink and drink a lot of water! as you can see in the picture above, i bought my requirements so that i can finish it.. HARDWORKING student, eh? :)

P.S. bruno mars was way hotter and cooler on stage! hahahaha!

if you ever come back

The Script just released their new music video!

yea, i've been a fan since their ''we cry'' and ''the man who can't be moved'' days! they're awesome. their songs are hard to describe because its so effin' good! you can really feel that they put their heart and soul in every lyrics/songs they make. most of their videos are simple but it leaves a meaningful message that most people can relate to.

a few months ago, before i knew that they'll be having a concert here in the Philippines on April 16, 2011, i promised myself that i'll really watch them live if ever they'll visit our country.

too bad i can't fulfill that promise because:

-its going to be in Manila (a plane away from my hometown)

-my parents won't allow me

-i still have a duty at that time

-my aunt from UK will be coming home this summer

*sad. depressed. frustrated. i feel like crying.*

P.S. hope you like their song + new music video! :)
