Day 3: Don't Agonize, Organize!

Don't agonize. Organize.--Florence Kennedy

And so I spent the whole day buying groceries and stuffs for my room makeover. Food for my goal to gain weight and stuffs to finally organize my room at least one step at a time.

One thing that gets me excited when going to Malls is the Japan Home store. I love the stuffs especially for the home decorations and organizations. Also, because I just love buying and shopping.

It took me an hour to decide the stuffs I wanted to buy. I got hold of three different types of organizers and ended with the candy colorful sets of mini storage containers. Of course I always go for design, quality and affordability.


Most of the products there are all 66, 88, 99. Then, the first two types of organizers I got hold of cost 88 each and I needed two for that. So, the price was not too affordable. But when I was already in line to purchase it, I saw cute colorful sets of mini storage containers packed in 3. I asked the cashier how much and it only costs 66. I bought two sets of different shapes and variations.

Once I arrived home, I did not waste any time to organize my stuffs. Below is my before and after photos. I am so happy with the results.

It's Harder To Be A Woman

Saturday, Jan 28, 2011

It's hard being a girl, harder of course being a woman.

Things for me not just nowadays but ever since has been intense and I am doubtingly not sure if I am still be considered to be called a Girl or a Woman.

My room? Uh! So disgusting, disorganized, I am like living with spiders due to the cobwebs all over.
My things? Uh! So messy! I can't even find anything at its proper place. The next thing I see my ballpen would be close to the trash can.
My bed? I think this is a junkbed because I am actually sleeping with my laptop, camera and all other things scattering.

I am already 22 years old, a professional and still I act like a kid with my things just messing around. When will I ever grow up? Well, I do am growing up literally but with my childish laziness and come-what-may attitude, I am just not so right.

So, I looked at my blogs. I almost forgot about this one. I love this because this is my first ever blog made last year but stupid as I am I discarded this because I just can't think of topics to be written here. What I did is made again another few blogs for specific topics. Some are successful especially my recent one and again the other one is starting to fade away its visibility.

Then, I realized I can't do things both or multi- at the same time. How can that be when girls or woman are supposed to be multi-tasking?

The solution for all of this is only a matter of organization and time management. The same goes with my room, I need to be organized and for that to be accomplished I need to manage my time first and spend a particular time for cleaning.

So I start here in my blogs by updating every now and then my three blogs:

1. Germz of Generality
2. Travel Premiere
3. Nurse Germz

Hopefully, through getting a hang of constantly updating all my blogs, I also get a hang of everything in regards with cleaning, work and everything else. As they say, we all start from ourselves.

What do you think?

Meet my GIRLfriends!

My all time fave TV series of gossip girl since I was in college and now that I am at my currently 2nd year after college, Gossip girl is back with new and fresh rumors to be circulated in episodes.

Then my ever loving kapamilya My Binondo Girl who has been my daily dose of fun, kilig and entertainment every night or during weekends for my due episodes.

Finally, my newly found friend from the title itself, new girl who is going to keep me guessing as I get the whole idea of the story.

Stay tuned also for my other blogs about Travel. http://travelpremiere.blogspot.com.

The New Girl Pilot Episode

Okay! Here is one secret that had kept my mouth from saying blah blah blahs and telling you lah lah lah... whatsoever. It is something I go crazy all over that I could get myself hurt and jump in a couch just to have a one-on-one session with this secret of mine. Nah, honestly it's just something every girls love or do but different for me. Something is just a normal daily activity, the thing you do everyday but might happen to be against your will. Do these even ring a bell? So this secret goes like something to every other girls out there but everything to me. Now you get me?

It's actually my here-comes-a-new-tv-show-and-I-gotta-watch-this and then I start to be addicted something like addicted-in-the-first-few-episodes-and-just-fades then, I don't even know when, why or how. I guess my inconsistency in most stuffs have made me retained in such a way that I lose my desire immediately in a particular thing. Like how I got addicted to a Philippine TV series, My Binondo girl and how my highly addictive dose has totally worn off that I had not kept track of the latest episodes. And now I am looking forward to that coming or start to estimate the days, weeks or months if even possible of my TV series therapy--consists of 1 session with 18 episodes, the standard span of TV shows. Or should I consult a doctor and ask for a change of prescription of my therapy? What do you think so?

New Girl on Fox TV is the big secret revealed. I came across with it in twitter trends--New Girl. Speaks for myself huh. It somewhat describes my whole being because I am easily attracted to new stuffs. But this could be great because new can mean positivity in life living for a change so at least in my life I am actually looking for something. Now the question is when am I ever gonna find that something.

So, I googled this New Girl hoping to find a site which streams its episodes and luckily I have found it but only after numerous sites which made my life miserable for like 30 minutes. So what is this all about?

I'll start with the title, a new girl who intentionally arrived at a new place with of course new people after the "honey came in and she caught me red-handed" scene with his boyfriend. A bit of exaggerated. Just forget about the "caught me red-handed" part it was only a surprised bare-naked thing for his boyfriend with all the memorized song lines, staging and a little ribbon prop to cover her little flower then, came the girl his guy was hooking. How traumatic would it be. I mean the efforts were just thrown to trash and that includes his bf of being dumped. Sadly, I guess she herself is neither exempted nor deserved an immunity because she decided to transfer this new place. And the new people I was talking about are her roomates slash boys. Yes, I mean 1 girl and 3 boys in one apartment. How do you like that?

Now watch this. Click the image below and you'll be redirected to a site.

EPIC FAIL!

I blame it to the cold Sunday evening which left me nothing to do but thoughts of a-so-not-me-sort-of-things like reading books which I admit that I am a bit standoffish of such stuffs. It never came to a point in my life craving for such good reads not even in the middle of the night lighting that little lamp and paving my way down to the bookshelf and look for something to read. I more imagined myself heading to the fridge and finding that perfect midnight snack for my movie marathon moments. Or yet just wait for the time when books come into life and are shown in theaters.

And so I had these negative expectations the moment I downloaded the epub copy of the book. From the title itself, everything would surely be an epic fail. But as I turned the first page, one more page, then more pages until I came to realization that there's nothing left anymore. I succeeded! I had finished a book, to stress it more, one book in less a day. Would you believe it?

Epic Fail by Claire LaBeznik is something worth reading played by a typical teen-who-entered-a-strange-rich-world-far-different-from-hers named Elise Benton whose curiosity has been her main best friend as she struggled to adjust with the new school, new place, new weather, of the sons and daughters of celebrity parents and with Derek Eduards, an expected standoffish celebrity son. But things get more easier when her sister, Juliana Benton having Chase Baldwin his boyfriend and best friend with Derek who gave him a perfect grand entrance of "who's this new girl hanging out with the popular." Curiosity then seems to fade away because she did not only get close to such people but befriend them and even more than that. And of course a story like this would be incomplete without the unnecessary evil characters. First in the list is Chelsea Baldwin, a perfect-example-of-a-spoiled-brat who is obviously head over heels with Derek who later shows more of her being the evil sister of Juliana's Prince Chase. Then, the nerd sweet looking nice guy Webster Grant who in the end is nothing but a shallow-hearten guy who is only after the rich parents of whoever girl he come across in school. Thus, made Elise more curious after finding out which would excempt her from the fact that her parents are not rich nor celebrities but still fall trapped a victim.

I don't wanna look or sound a straight A grader summarizing stuffs like this. Well, it's better to read for yourself. Have fun reading because unexpectedly, I did have fun.

Minny's Chocolate Pie only for Hilly!

I have no regrets watching the Help. I was skeptical at first watching a documentary-or-history-type of film. But I finished it with a big smile (big laugh, I guess!) The movie was not really pure drama or slavery (at the first scenes though because it should be). It was for real a life about real people taking a stand for their lives and they did actually get what they want or should be of being not afraid to take a stand no matter what color they have.

The story revolved around the two characters of Aibileen and Skeeter. Yes, they are from different colors but this type of color seemed to be homogeneous since there's one thing which bothers them both--The help. Aibileen is a black maid taking care of a white child while Skeeter is a white who too grew up with a black maid, Constantine. They both dangerously put their lives at stake about the writing of stories from the black side since it is against the law. But in the end, they succeeded finishing the book with Skeeter's very own story with Constantine as the last part.

I do have my favorite scenes and characters as well as the hates. I'll start with my fave character Celia Foote. I thought she was like anybody else but she was the other white who is different. Though sadly, she was like a colored one since the white people does not like her that much (its because of the alleged stealing of Hilly's boyfriend before). I so like the way she treated Minny (exceptionally the opposite from Hilly's treatment). It was even funny that Minny was the one who was telling Celia about what is supposed to do.

On the other hand, Minny is very lovable. A good cook by the way and my favorite is her Chocolate Pie only for Hilly! Below is my favorite scene.


And I came across with this recipe. Don't worry it's not the Pie only for hilly!=) Anyway, it's you who'll be making this one, for sure you'll not be adding any shit. Except with poor sanitation, you surely end up with diarrhea. But seriously, here it is.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 ounces Pet milk (evaporated)
2 eggs
1 pie crust, uncooked


Directions:
1
Preheat oven to 325°F.
2
Mix everything together in one big bowl.
3
You don’t have to bake the crust first, prick the bottom of it.
4
Pour filling into crust.
5
Bake for about 50 minutes. Let the pie set for a long while once it comes out of the oven. I think this definitely tastes better room temperature.
6
If you’d like, serve with a big scoop of ice-cream, some fruit, a little whipped cream, or straight out of the pie plate!

The (vintage) Help!

This movie was shown in theaters last August 10 somewhere not in the Philippines. (I think since I have not heard of this not even whispers.) Honestly speaking, I am just drawn by the vintage outfits the stars are all wearing and not the plot. But also because I have not seen this yet. I am still currently downloading a copy. Can't you see what I am seeing too?

Wearing that yellow corset-type jumpsuit would be oh so vintage. I would love trying to pose with an old telephone too. Plus that cat-eye sunglasses and perfected with blonde curls and white skin.

Then, who would ever forget the Easy A Star Emma Stone?(from the pic above.) For a change, she's now aiming for that real A, writing stories behind the African-american servants' stories.

Nah..., I just seem to like the dresses part here.

But this part here is different. Getting serious with writing, huh!

Now, I have no reason not to watch this. I started this so I definitely end this with a popcorn, soda and movie reviews afterwards besides the trailer is somehow catchy...

Welcome "BER" months, Welcome Christmas!

This is one of the things a proud Pinoy would say when the "ber" months start, Merry Christmas. Once it's "ber" months, it's time to count the days before Christmas.

Indeed, the Philippines is the world's renowned to have the longest running Christmas celebration ever. And as early as today, September 1, Filipinos are starting to greet everyone a Merry Christmas, or post anything about it. Just take a look at this.



There are so much things to look forward to this coming Christmas. But the most important thing here is that we are able to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and not just about giving gifts and attending parties. Let's take the coming days an opportunity to pause for a while and pray for all the victims of calamities. Because aside from Christmas, rainy days comes along with the "ber" months. And even before it, calamities have already occurred.

So, Merry Christmas everyone.

Big Toys for Girls

You do wanna play some of the boys' big toys, right? Can you name some?

Yes the gadgets... cars... iPad... high-tech stuffs and so on. These indeed are just some of their famous toys. That's why they are very known as "playboys". (playboy - in the Philippines, it's particular to those who are chick magnet. boys who love playing girls = playboy. but this time i'll define it literally for temporary reasons. as in, playboy = boys who play toys.)

How about us, girls? What do you think are we famous of? Ken? Barbie Girl? Sounds fantastic? (now this sounds like a lyrics already. but indeed life is plastic.)

Then, who says we cannot have the same toys as they have? Just look at these super duper lovely thang.

I so wanna have this kind of bike. The vintage look. I can imagine myself wearing a vintage dress while driving this one. All eyes would surely be on me. However, I think I am not fit enough to ride it. I am just too paper thin for this kind of bike. It weighs bigger than me. Plus, I do not know how to drive.=)

How about this?

Sweet! Now, this is the essence of saving. I wouldn't care not eat at all so my money goes for this. (nah, just exaggerating) I still do not know how to drive but I kinda want to enroll myself in a driving school "insigida" by just seeing the picture. This too has a vintage touch with a modern twist. Anyway, this kind of car is a bit affordable than real vintage cars.




Now, that is different. It is a pic of me, myself riding on a motorbike with a two tone body color. Where else could you find that? This is actually my boyfriend's. It is a blue and white colored susuki raider model. I just change the body color for a girly touch. I did not imagine for a nice result like that.

Till next time girls... Have Fun and be beautiful always!

cutting it out!

I just got a bit creative. I'm not into writing really. I figured out why focus on my skills instead forcing my hands into writing. And from now on, I am cutting it out. It's all about cut outs.

I will not be writing my thoughts but I am cutting it through pictures. 

So, welcome to my new blog.

And ohe!

Cut yourself out!=)
