Basics

Here's my nth attempt at creating a decent blogging site. I've had so many old blogs, and they're all rotting in cyberspace with memories that I'd rather not return to, so I'm starting from scratch. AGAIN.

I'm Fam. I've been around Planet Earth for 16 years and counting, though people often think I'm a lot older than my actual age (for who knows why). I love the color red, dark chocolate, bananas and breezy, sunny days.

I love dancing, singing out of nowhere, taking pictures, going on long, leisurely walks, enjoying food, writing to my heart's content, drawing, painting and indulging in crazy-sensible conversations with crazy-sensible people.

My moods swing like a pendulum, and yes, I am one of those people who overreact, over-think, and overeat. There's no better way to get to know me than to actually listen... and if you can, speak up. Don't worry, I won't bite... except if your grammar and intentions are atrocious. ;)

OMG. My girly side is aliiive! :O

This is my happy blog entry for May 1st. For the other one, click here.

While I was surfing the Net today, I came across my tagged photos on Facebook, and spotted a recent tag from My Vanity Shop, an online clothing store in the Philippines. Out of boredom and curiosity, I checked out their site and found some really interesting pieces :)

Due to a shortage in dresses, I opted to look at the (plus-sized) dresses in the catalogue, and these are my Tpp Four favorites, followed by some that I absolutely adored as well. :)

Obviously I have a thing for sleeves. Hahaha! I'm a liberated thinker, but that doesn't apply for clothes. It's not that I think I'm too fat for more revealing clothing (I've seen people bigger than myself who can pull off revealing clothing quite sexily); I just feel that there's more freedom of movement with more conservative clothing. At least, no one will have to put up with any potential flaws in my anatomy. Besides, my skin tone is really uneven. As in, really. Hahaha!

This dress caught my eye for three vital reasons: the color, the cut and the versatility. It's red (my favorite color), it's short enough to be sexy yet long enough to be decent, and it can be worn for several occasions without the risk of being overdressed or underdressed. Oh and, the model's cute, too. =)) I'd definitely buy this dress one of these days. Based on the size charts, they have my size :D

I am a freak for lace, and this is one of the prettiest lace cocktail dresses I've ever seen. It's an empire cut, which is advisable for a rather large midsection like mine, but it doesn't make the wearer look pregnant (therefore giving a good fit and an enhanced figure). I wouldn't really think of buying this, though, since I already have a lace dress (see below)...

...or maybe, I'll buy it anyway, just for kicks. Hahaha!

Leopard prints have a sexiness to them, and I love how this dress carries that sexiness with sophistication. I'd LOVE to have this dress at ALL costs! This is one of those dresses that'll make a girl tame yet fierce at the same time ;) :3

The pieces range from P900-P1500, which is understandable given that these are all imported. I can't find any pieces like these in the other stores I've been to, or if I do, they either don't have my size or they're too expensive. :| I told my mom about the site and she was quite dubious about online purchases due to the price, but I showed her the pictures and even she was impressed. :)

Basically, the bottom of line of which is this:

I NEED A WARDROBE UPDATE.

*****

Yes, it is a long weekend now, but I have a LOT of stuff to attend to once I get back to Manila. Here's the lineup of the "chores" I have as of late:

MAY 5: ECO102 Midsummer Exam
MAY 6: FLC1FR (French) Orals and 2nd Long Exam and Student Facilitator Interview (Teaching Demo)
MAY 7: ORSEM Host Auditions

Oh yeah, the ORSEM Host Audition Schedules have been send to us via email.

Wish me luck. It's not even Monday yet, but I already know I won't make the cut.

I know some of the people on the list here, and they're mostly UPPER-upperclassmen from either AB Comm, blueRep... or BOTH. I know that people from these sects have more confidence and rapport (and not to mention popularity), thus increasing their chances of making it. Of course, I know I should just treat this as an experience, but then I just realized, along with this sudden pessimism, how much I want this job. I want to relive OrSem all over again without necessarily being part of the freshman mob. I want to make this a happy experience for them just as it was for me. But then, it looks like all I can say is, "Dream on".

Pessimism like this is bad. Oh, I need my self-esteem to work on full throttle now. I just want to have fun and not have to feel the aura of weirded-out people. I'm not part of the elite majority of the Ateneo, and I think that'll manifest in the tryouts. Harr. God, please make me strong.


I hope I make it through next week. KAYA 'TO! :) Tl then, I'll enjoy my much-deserved break.



Good night, everyone ♥
