After two weeks, my hair still looks great. :) I still receive favorable comments about it and I don't look that messy (my signature look) anymore. I keep on thinking, now why didn't I have this done before... oh yeah, because I was afraid my hair wouldn't stand it. *frown* Phooey. Anyway, it's okay--I just use Mane and Tail a lot.
I spent the whole day in front of the TV today. It began with TAR5 via satellite this morning. The teams aren't that charming and they tend to fight over everything. Oh well, TAR still looks really fun. Can I just say the palace/pitstop in Russia looked beautiful? And I still would love to go to Portugal. I'd love to join that one day. :) And then I watched ETC and some movies. My teammate Crissy and I keep on talking about TV shows, especially what we catch on ETC (we're ETC addicts!). Heehee. You can spot us in the pantry giggling over F4 and what we'll be watching later on in the day or what's on TV in the pantry (actually the TV has only one clear channel if you put a fork at the back). Crissy keeps on complaining how she misses "What I like about You" even if I text her that it's on or how we haven't watched "One Tree Hill" just to see what the fuss is all about (although Chad Michael Murray is reason enough). *sigh* I've never been that into TV (thanks to a TV ban when I was a kid), but TV is my vacation from reality when I just can't get away. Sayang though, my dad was texting me if I went to the mall today so that he could join me for retail therapy. Haha!

Yesterday:
Met up (actually Tessa, Angel and I) with Ms J, one of our former tutors in college. She took up her doctorate in Spain. She left when we were in third year and then just got back last April. How time flies--the last time Ms J saw us was when we were still students fitting in our major classes and now we're through with college and making our way into the world. But it was still the same hanging out with her, laughing and chatting about our lives (work, boys, school, love, etc), like we never really changed. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing her pictures of Spain--the pictures all looked like postcards with all the pretty sights--and hearing stories about Spain. I was quite interested about Ms J being able to pick up Spanish. You see, that's what I've always wanted: to be able to think in another language. And what Ms J said is correct, that a language can be learned once you are immersed in it. Even if I had eight levels of French and three semesters in German, I really can't speak/think/read well in those languages because I'm not able to practice them. I only learned those languages from books and audio tapes (German was a requirement in school, I never had the heart for it at first, but later on... yeah well. I got used to it), but I never really learned to use it all. Sayang. Anyway, I do hope in the future I'll be able to take up those languages again and use them. :) P.S. Can Blogger get any better? Hee. I was just able to tinker around with it lately and I can't stop raving about it. I also downloaded Hello, although haven't tried it yet. :)

I am so craving for Gonuts' Peanut Butter doughnut. I love peanut butter and that doughnut was amazing. :) I would ask someone to buy me Gonuts, but there's not much doughnut fans in my family. My dad says I should just buy plain doughnuts from a local bakery and melt Lily's peanut butter on it. That's a thought.
I love watching ETC.

So I said my blog was the easiest to deal with right now. But being the lazy me (I don't want to tinker around HTMLs right now)--I opted for the easy way out: my hair! Haha! I am so pathetic. I had it straightened out, meaning no more "Mahangin ba sa labas" days. Trust me, when someone asks you that, out of jest or seriousness, heh. It gets to you. Someone actually does ask me that! And that's quite annoying because (1) I run into the office photo finish [especially the days when I'm logged at noon, I make it on the dot] and (2) I take the jeep and when I get off it's windy and (3) my hair is not naturally neat or straight. It has a wave and it tends to frizz. Even with shampoos that claim it can make your hair look and feel "salon relaxed"--that doesn't work on me. So I actually look "orderly" (my dad's words) now! Hee. I look neater--for once! I don't look sabog for once, which is my signature look already. Downer lang. Is it so bad to have your hair treated? Kase naman of that Rejoice ad, everyone makes a big deal about it. While walking around today, I could hear comments about my hair (mala-Rejoice commercial)--which annoyed me because I was having a hard time keeping it neat and I was sort of conscious about my hair (this is the first time I ever had my hair treated). So grrr. It's not as if I'm flaunting it or anything. I just want to look neat.

I just saw my barkada's blog and it's so cute with the new Blogger templates. I'm bored with my colorful bubbles, but I'm not in the mood to tinker with everything again. I'm not very tech savvy and fixing this up was not that fun to begin with (let's just say it helped pass the time, but that was a lot of Internet time). I'll probably try a new look, but not now I guess. Yet I'm so bored with this already. Anyway. Maybe it's because I'd like to change some things in life and my blog is the easiest to deal with at the moment.

So did I bomb or what? I'm not really sure. Di naman siguro. I'm having this internal pep talk about an interview I just finished. Ehe. I really don't know. I think I have to do some retail therapy (excuses, excuses! Hehehe). I have a feeling lang I bombed. Oh whatever. Bahala na. I was so unprepared. I think I looked blank and duh in some questions. Oh well.
* * * Oh my gosh. I feel so lonely all of a sudden. I feel like I'm taking a big leap into nowhere and leaving everything familiar. Don't you hate that feeling? When you know you're just so sure, but not yet? I'm scared--but not very excited still (is that a bad sign?). I feel like I'm about to give up a lot without any real certainty. There are days that I am about to snap and need a change... Goodness. I really don't know anymore. :(
