me want earrings

I love earrings. Now you know what to get me for my birthday and/or Christmas! Or on any random day, really. :D (You can also get me some nice earring compartments or a cheap jewelry chest. Right now I store them all in an ice cream tin can from Yellow Cab. They all look rather sad in there.)

I bought these yesterday:

I love this pair!

I also bought a necklace for good measure.

In they all go to the tin can! Ha!

Right now I want some bracelets. And wide headbands with feathers (yeahhhh). And some rings. Big, chunky, clunky rings. I’ll look for those next. Any recos? Shops or personal stash or whatnot? :) They better be cheap. None of those 300-peso-a-bracelet nonsense.

And more earrings of course, for one can’t have too many earrings.

And there you go: another worthless blog post. :) I’ll stay offline for the rest of the week, writing and reading and making myself fat.(I’m about to finish one story, and I think I have one that needs editing. Hopefully a poem idea slaps me in the face soon so I can write one again. But fiction’s treating me fine, somehow, so it’s all right.)

Till then!

a bee in the newsroom

And everybody got free sundaes! :D

Also saw Claire again (she’s there in the third photo), former intern, current Jollibee PR team member, who looked impossibly thin. I mean Claire WHY. (LOL.)

ch-ch-ch-changes

Sorta.

  1. I mean, for the past few days I’ve got nothing here but comic book reviews. For a change, let’s talk about meeeeeeeee. :D (LOL.)
  2. I’ve changed my blog theme/layout. I don’t know CSS, WordPress has limited themes, but I like this one. I think Imma stick with it. I mean, look! The links turn pink!
  3. I’ve converted the Tags to Categories, then the Categories to Tags, then the Tags to Categories again – until I was able to erase that pesky “Uncategorized” label that’s been driving me OC-insane for the past year or so.
  4. I’ve added a subscription button (on ze right). Because I think I’m important.
  5. I’ve added a search bar too because it looks nifty.
  6. The boyfriend (see, I really love it that the links turn pink) has quit his nasty, nasty job, and I’m excited to see where he’s going to go from there. He’s thinking grad school. Excellent choice. I wish him luck. :)
  7. I’ve started writing fiction again, after slogging through several drafts of poems (heh). Getting into the groove of writing every night again, after work. Working on two right now: one solicited, the other – meh, I’ll see where it goes. Haha. I’m glad I’m getting story solicitation emails now. I’m tickled whee. (Hopefully the editor likes it enough to actually take it.)
  8. Right now I am not thinking of grad school, or a teaching job, or learning a foreign language. All of a sudden I’m just coasting along, coasting along, happy enough with a steady job and steady ideas and a steady mind with which to string words together.
  9. Nowadays everything feels right with the Universe. I haven’t felt that way in a long long long while. Oh yes.
  10. Except that I’m gaining weight again. Yeah, I probably should do something about that. *eats pizza*

tatler

So I won in this contest, right, and my picture found its way into the January issue of the Philippine Tatler. (Thanks to Andrea and Kate for the tip!)

I belong to a crazy department, so of course this has got to be done:

Gibo and the Na’Vi adore me, Ayuh.

desk job

Since I just came back from a vacation of sorts, I arrived at the condo faced with a mountain of chores. Egadz. First up was “clean the desk”, but later on I realized that I actually liked the way my desk looked. You know, dirty and cluttered? ;)

Yes, that’s my photo in that giraffe frame from Kate. (Thank you!) Ah, narcissism. (E wala nang ibang magkasya na peechur, soreh naman. :) ) Also, spot my UP ID, hee.

No, I did not paint my walls purple, the former occupant did. And oh yes, those are my collages up on the wall. How sweet of you to ask. (Chenelyn.)

new hair!

Here’s the thing: I have neither the patience nor the time to blow-dry my hair, so yeah, it doesn’t look like that anymore. The wavy locks came back with a vengeance. Meh. I’ll stick with the 50’s pin-up girl look. Maybe I should buy some red lipstick.

Okay, stupid hand.

Yep, that should do it.
