float on

Walking at the seaside with one ear listening to the most beautiful sound that goes well with
the cold breeze and the soft crashing of waves...

Question No. 6 in set : What are your current favorite mobile apps?

I'm not really a techie-fetish person but there are some apps that make my life easier.

1. To keep the connection alive (whenever i'm not M.I.A. hahah):
~ Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Gtalk, IMO (the YM app sucks in my LG, IMO works better)

2. For e-reading (forever love the real books smell-touch-feel but ebooks are worthwhile escape in traffic jams and adventitious travels):
~ Moonreader & Kindle

Question No. 4: I will write non-stop and see how it goes okay?

*Pardon if this post will ramble until the end. Let me just idle and wrestle my thoughts away from too much work. (Warning: contains little GOT spoilers)  :)

Question No. 4: How "fangirl" are you? What/Who is/are on your current desktop screensaver?

Juan doesn't have an active screensaver. Well sometimes but not really often. Juan = is my personal notebook, hahah. I know it's so weird to name a gadget but i got used calling it that already. I have friends who named theirs - Rudy (tough looking notebook), Vanilla Sky (cute pink one), PokPok (you can just easily guess the contents of this laptop by the name), Yanyan (short of Marian, yes, Rivera-crushing ), O'Connor Junior (he named his Nikon DSLR O'Connor first so that's already a descendant), Chivas (for too much drinking), and Nebula (geek stuff alert). I chose Juan because it sounded so artistic and cool. Like Juan Luna, Juan Dela Cruz Band, Juan Carlos Onetti, Juan Manuel of Villena, Juan Sebastian Elcano, and Juan of Pokemon hahah. 

Anyway, back to Juan's screen. I recently loaded him with the same display stuff of my office pc (pampantanggal-stress photo collection hahah). Except for the wallpaper. I like my office pc clean so i just dawned it with a Music Regression design poster while Juan is kept active with stuff that interests me every now and then. For this month, i am a fangirl so i got these two lurking around my personal premises. 

1. Of course, Iker. :)

2. Tadaaah. The King in the North. All of a sudden, i fell out of crush with Ben Barnes - after seeing Richard Madden in his Robb Stark's anguished weeping when Eddard was beheaded at the Sept of Baelor (yes, Boromir died again #LOTR). 

I guess I own this soft spot for tough-looking boys who could blubber like there's no tomorrow. And Ben Barnes looked a little too soft for my taste (except for the Caspian), hahah. 

Speaking of Starks, I've seen the first season. I just finished A Storm of Swords (the third book made me throw myself to bed and roll like crazy when I read the Rain of Castamere; PLEASE if you have a heart disease stay away from the third installment hahah - the story is soooo intense). I decided to take a Westerosi break before I proceed to A Feast of Crows. The chapters are too much for me to take, hahah. Sometimes I think George R.R. Martin is brilliant with all his storytelling twist, sometimes I just gush at how I hate him for tormenting my emotions. That's it for a round of guilty pleasure then. 

As for Juan's sliding visuals, Iker is still ruling the caps followed by Richard Madden. Why not? After playing Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, he is also in UK's Sirens portraying an ambulance man attracted to the same gender. 

Tell me, how can someone play homosexual and still be as desirable as any straight hottie. 
And the accent --- *FAINTS triple time* King in the North, here's my fealty. You have my banners.  

*Getting up from the deliquium* -- so as I was saying, if i can fangirl let it be for Madden. I don't know how much should I rate myself and don't give a fuss either hahah. I haven't seen any episode of Sirens yet but I think it is enough that I blushed like a schoolgirl when I saw his torso in one of the trailers. Just like a normal girl, hahah. Seriously, THANK YOU SCOTLAND for giving us the utter perfection that is James McAvoy and now this. 

Congratulations on your face. I can't even . . . HNNNNGGGG. 

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I was browsing my stash of films this morning when i found my copy of this Thai movie recommended by Joms and Dyenaheix. I watched it while having breakfast and my sulky mood turned light. You should see it, too. Because as the trailer puts it, 89% of the people who have watched this, have been through this experience.  :)

* Now i understand why even my friends who don't normally watch teeny/romantic films got to see this.

* P'Shone and Nam are so cute, they will revive the youth in you.

* I suddenly envy how the Thais make their own mainstream films. The plot and cinematography are so simple, and yet, only from that simpleness the story flow sprung the sincereness you rarely see in films of the same genre. It just goes to show that you don't need to be exaggerated and too mushy to be catchy and entertaining. It seems like Thai movie industry is catching up to Japan and Korea. Don't get me wrong, i'm not dissing Pinoy romantic films (even if i don't really watch except for John Lloyd's hahah), but maybe it's about time they get to learn from this, isn't? I'm not saying they should copy this (oh no please don't make a Pinoy version of this like the shows on tv please), but may this kind inspire them to take on originality and more clever story lines. Enough of those pa-cute, predictable, boy-meets-girl films.

* P'Shone, as Ria tweeted, looks like a cross between Chris Cayzer and Francis Magalona. :)

* It's not all the time that pretty girls get the hot guys. Even the most average-looking girl can win the heart of the most popular in school - with a twist, hahah! FTW

* If you're sad and not feeling well, you should really see this.

Happy weekend!

Question No.1: My answer is English

I've been challenged to do "100 Random Questions." The rule is to answer stuff about you that people don't know and it has an order of things to meet. Since i'm not thoroughly obedient when it comes to this kind of Q&A, hahah, i will 'randomly' answer a question via a post at my leisure. Some people may finish answering a hundred in just a day, a week, or a month, but i have this weird feeling that i can finish my hundred questions in about a year so im going to make it a portion of this blog in my advantage (or disadvantage) hahah. Due to this self-inflicted notion, i will not post the list of questions in this entry. I will just pick one to answer and reveal it per post. I honestly don't know if many (or if there are any hahah) people are interested to read this new portion of my blog. Nevertheless, i'd like to try this out because it sounds fun and it will help my memory drill. :)


I'm picking this to be my first question to address because it's a lighter topic hahah and it's somehow timely considering the amount of films i perused to pass my time during travels or during breaks every art session last week.


Question 1. Name a film celebrity you'd shamelessly confess an "I love you" with and why you chose him/her. Current eye candy please. 

cubao x bazaar

In conjunction to this post, here are just few pics of Cubao X Bazaar last Saturday night.


Some shops were closed because we arrived almost midnight from exhibit openings, but cute items are still on display (in the dark, heheh).








Wait a sec! Dex was wearing this really cool "Where is Wally?" shirt!





Tadaah! And there's Wally hanging out with the mermaids (near the collar)!





Of course, Cubao X will never be complete without the vintage shops. So many lovely rings, necklaces, accessories, and many more. Too bad i didn't bought any because i have to buy books first. But i'll be declaring my CX day on the first part of holiday vacay. There's no way i'm not going back to get those lovely things! Take this display for an instance, what a pretty dress.. *_*





Ending this post with a set of happy looking Matryoshka dolls.











The word matryoshka (матрёшка) is derived from мать (mother); literally it means "dear (or little) mother."

lighter stuff

Of six in the morning under a beautiful feathery lightness. Breath-taking clouds.

Of surprises. Finding a little package in my apartment's window. Happy pill goodies!
