 I miss having short hair! In my school years, I always kept my hair short, to keep up with my "low maintenance" image. I realized, though, that short hair needs constant trimming to keep the shape. Not very low maintenance. Haha! Now I keep my hair at skimming-the-shoulder length, which I realize is not okay because it's prone to flyaways and if I don't have my hair straightened (which I haven't done), my head's silhouette is an upside down mushroom. Sigh.Caught the video of Natalie Imbruglia's Torn a while ago and I realized how much I missed short hair! That's the shortest my hair got (first year college) and I remember how fun it was to tuck short strands behind my ears and let it fall oh-so-stylishly. In retrospect, I do look a bit mannish if the cut isn't done like Natalie's, but I still like it. Now I want to have short hair again, but people have been dissuading me from doing so. Plus, I have some formal events to attend this year and somehow, longish hair leaves a lot of ground to work around with. Of course, it's another story for Anyway... I had a haircut today (you know what they say about not having a haircut before a big event? So true - hair needs a few days to grown into the style and cut. I am sooo learning this lesson the hard way since I'm attending a wedding tomorrow!) and I was explaining to the stylist how I wanted short hair, but I was putting it off. He cut off more than the usual since my hair's in a pretty sad state... and so now, my hair's short(er than usual)! It's in a style that's supposed to give body to my hair. It should still look okay tomorrow, since I had it treated - I love the minty scent of the treatment - as well. Not the look I was expecting for tomorrow, but it should still be fine. :) Labels: vanity

 I like this picture, it's just a bit dark. I like the red wall with all the details on it. There were other interesting places around the restaurant to randomly photograph, but I was shy to go around. Labels: random

So I told myself that this week, I'd try not to eat so much and remain as thin as possible to fit the gorgeous dress I got (thanks to my dad! I super ♥ the dress) last weekend for Mims' wedding. I am in love with the dress and I had it altered to fit me perfectly, but I requested for it to have enough breathing space so I could eat a lot and move freely to the buffet table. Hehe. But seriously, I love the dress! I cannot rave enough about it. The design is perfect - it's actually a frustrated design on my part because I wanted a similar one two years ago for G's wedding, but the sales people and my mom I am also relieved to have found a dress. The thing with me is, even if I've known about this wedding for ages and have more than ample time to look for a dress, when it comes down to it, I'm very lazy in seriously looking and buying one. I like to look around and say, "I'll think about it", but not really. That happened to a wedding I attended last year - I knew about it five months before, but only shopped for a dress the day before and ended up with nothing. These are the times I really wish I could afford a personal shopper to just pick out something for me. It's not that I don't like to shop or dress up, but sometimes I don't really want to look over- or under-dressed, or completely out of the look/dress code. Anyway, back to trying not to eat. I just want to justify the dress, but I can't help but eat a lot! Wah. I've been eating and eating ice cream because the flavor's interesting - Mango Peach Melba. Plus eating lots of rice because I like corned beef with lots of rice, which was my lunch today. And now I'm munching on One One, those rice crackers by Monde Nissin. Will cut down for dinner - I wonder how, considering it's almost that time of the month when I crave and eat too much. Okay, will try to survive until the weekend. Labels: random, rant-rave, vanity

We held Mims' bridal shower last last weekend. Super fun! It was another Todo Na 'To, one year after. Overnight at a hotel with girl bonding! All girls present (me, P, Mims, Kathy, Sofie, Candy) except for Mel, no boys allowed. That crazy weekend in bullets: >Hotel was okay... they messed up our reservation though which was such a hassle since we needed a room asap since Sofs came from graveyard. Poor girl. We were there by 1p but got to the room by 4p+ yet! Annoying because we called in to reserve Wednesday yet. First choice hotel gave us a reference number for any concern with our reservations. > Surprised by the room: you would've thought a two bedroom suite would have two bathrooms. It only had one with two towels. I mean, I don't think that's enough but whatever. And they only offered two complimentary breakfasts. Again, first choice hotel offered four complimentary breakfasts. > Ahhh delivery is convenient talaga. We were all just lazy to go out of the room since it was pretty comfy in there with the air conditioner. > I'm not ever going to hear songs such as "Vulnerable", "Superman", "Lips of an Angel", "Reason for Breathing" or whatever in the same way again! Never never never. > I can live without blue pala and P is proud of me! Hahaha! > First time in a looong time I was up for 24 hours. Not bad but I was woozy already by the 23rd hour. Thank you MTV, but in the four hours you were on that early morning, never did I see or hear "Tulak ng Bibig" or "Turning My Safety Off". > Gained a new appreciation for the music video of "Love Team" by Itchyworms though. Since it was played twice! That, and "Over it" by Kat McPhee. > I like watching local TV with my friends! They're more updated than I am on what's happening on TV and celebrities. Fun, I learned a lot - but I'm not credible when I give local celebrity gossip. Hmph. :) > I learned a lot. I miss my friends. > So many moments from that weekend, uncaptured. :( Labels: friends

why it's hopeful I was suddenly seized by this fear - of "what ifs", "what could have beens", stuff I don't like so late into this leap of faith. It never struck me until now, which really scared and bothered me because, why now? I seriously don't need it at this point. But I don't want it to get the better of me, so I'm remaining hopeful.
