IT'S BEEN 365 DAYS

Yep, my blog turned 1 already! *party dress on. DJ, drop the beat.*

My blog, actually turned 1 last month. So, yes, this is a super duper late blogoversary entry. I miss blogging. I have one more exam to write next week, so, hopefully, I'll have more time blogging after that.

My original plan was to hold up a contest to all my readers. But, the problem is, and in all honesty:

1. I don't have that extra money to buy stuff for the prices and to pay for the shipping.
2. My readers are equally of both genders. Even if I do have the money for the prices, thinking of gifts to give away to the opposite sex is enough to make my head pound.

So, I'm just gonna take the alternative, less expensive way of celebrating my blog's 1st year. Let's do it, the Em way.

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE:

I dunno why I started blogging. There was no plan, I have no goals, I just signed up for Wordpress one December night. My Wordpress, is uhhm, like what I just said, I have no plans, there was no theme for my blog, it was just a plain http://myfingersrtyping.wordpress.com blog (btw, I deleted that blog. So, don't even bother clicking the link) with random Youtube videos I like, TV shows I watch etc etc. Then, I discovered, Blogspot. And I suddenly had a goal and a plan: to gain lots of followers and to be famous (oh, please, don't be laughing now. :p) Gaining followers is easy, most of us bloggers are into the followship. You follow my blog, I'll follow yours. or, I'll follow your blog and I expect a follow back in return. Now, for the "I wanna be famous part," it wasn't easy. Heck, it's not easy. I don't know any random blogger who is famous for being random. Because most of the established bloggers I know, have a blog theme. They are either a beauty blogger, a travel blogger, a food blogger, or a current event blogger.

Then, I met people who made my dream of being famous, not my priority anymore. I don't want to be famous no more. There's more to being just a famous blogger. What I gained from blogging is obviously not a thousand followers, maybe, a few who doesn't like my blog's existence. I met people who just don't read my entries, but, these are the people who mean so much to me now -- FRIENDS.

MY SUPER FRIENDS! :D :D

Lynn - I remember Lynn from Wordpress. And when I moved to Blogger, Lynn, was my first follower and the first person who said "hi" in my chatbox. Sadly, Lynn's blog had been "abandoned" for a year now and I am hoping one day, she'll find the time to update it.

Dear Lynn,

I hope to hear from you soon. I hope you're doing great. I have never seen your face. I don't know what you look like. Trust me tho, I'll never forget you and all the lessons I learned from reading your blog.

Love,

Em

Mara - I've seen Mara's blog as she is also a part of the Team Carnival community. I am honestly, not the type of person who would say, "hi" to the other person first. I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again, I fear, rejection. Mara, did not approach me first either. When she hosted a TC blog topic, I remember her describing my entry as ballsy, or I am ballsy for saying the stuff I said. And then, the rest is history. And we just realized how awesomer we are being together.

Dear Mara,

Your friendship is the bestest that ever happened to me in the cyber world. One day, I know, I just know, we'll see each other. And when we do, it's gonna be CHEAT DAY! We'll frikkin eat ice cream, chocolates, all the forbidden, not acceptable foods for a person on a diet! We'll paint our nails, we'll do makeup, we will gossip, we'll see a musical, we will sing, and we will frikkin commute and get lost! We will forget all our troubles and other shits in life. We will have fun! Thank you, Mara. Thank you, for the wonderful friendship. Despite your busy life, thank you, for making me feel that you are just a tweet, a Facebook and a YM away. TE for life!

Love,

Em

Aris - Our friendship started when you asked me to blog about the whole Vice Ganda - Tado controversy. You left your Facebook email address in my chatbox, I added you and a new chapter, the story of us began.

Dear Aris,

I appreciate that I always have your back. It's not all the time that we both agree on everything and I appreciate you not going apeshit on me. It's not like I'd be offended or anything. I feel like my opinions are respected and I don't feel like my opinions are wrong and I should have the same outlook as you do. I do have a confession to make tho. Remember the first time we ever chatted? It lasted for hours. You kept on asking me if I'm still doing ok. I told you, I'm alright and sleeping is not really a part of my routine. The truth is, I was already sleepy. lulz. I just had to lie to keep the conversation going. haha so, just in case I wasn't making any sense at times when we chat, that means, I'm sleepy already. I'm just not ready to log off 'coz I don't know when we'll have the time for longer chats again. :D Again, I wanna tell you that what we have, is special to me. Whatever happens, you'll remain special to me. ;)

Love,

Em

Aryan - Aryan, invades my chatbox! haha Well, she's using a different blog host and for some reasons, she can't comment on my entries. Aryan, still comments tho, just by spamming my chatbox. jk! I love Aryan! haha 

 Dear Aryan,

First, thank you for the friendship. With our age difference, I never thought we'd understand each other. I still owe you a blog entry ( Forever. remember?:p) and I'm sorry that up until now, I still haven't done it. One of these days, I will blog about it. I just don't have the time right now to reread the book.  You know, I still think that if it weren't for the technical issue with the whole Candy mag + the techie department, you'll bag the Teen Blog Award. I just have so much faith in you and your skills. Again, thank you, for everything (fb inbox and all that stuff. :p).

Love,

Em

Well, I guess, there's gonna be a part two for this. haha I never thought it would get this long.

HAPPY 1ST BLOGOVERSARY, MYFINGERSRTYPING!!!

HOW LONG WAS I GONE FOR?

haha too long!

I was on holidays and we had so many activities that by the time I get to my laptop, I'm brain dead already. It was a happy, loud, exhausting, but very blessed holidays for me and my family. I hope, you guys, had a wonderful time on Christmas and New Year's as well.

And to summarize my holidays in a single blog post, it will be, all about FOOD! (ok, wait, lemme exaggerate that part), all about F-O-O-D!!! (damn, I'm so back! haha lemme whip my hair back and forth in celebration :D)

*picture heavy*

Sushi Hut

 Edamame is so addicting! It's like Pringles, once you pop, you can't stop.=))

crap, it's 2011 and I'm still corny. haha

My sister, myself, a friend and her boyfriend, went for Sushi Hut on Dec. 27th (I think) and it's an all you can eat Japanese restaurant. Aside from eating spaghetti and chicken, Japanese food makes me happy. A once a month trip to a Japanese restaurant will definitely, make me jump for joy.

Dec. 29, 2010 - Joey's

It was our parents' 26th year wedding anniversary, so, we went out for a cozy dinner, at Joey's.

Servings were so big, there were no room for dessert after.

And just before I leave the town again, I and some friends went to another Japanese restaurant called, Tokyo Zone. Originally, we were planning on dining in at Roll'n Pin, a Korean Restaurant. Sadly, they were closed due to some renovations.

 I should learn how to use chopsticks. Anyone here knows how?

 There goes the edamame again. =))

Now, I'm hungry! haha

I'll try to be back, blog and blog hop again on a regular basis. I still have a line-up of entries to do and hopefully, I'll be able to blog again, at least, with 2 entries a week. I'm really tied up with school works and my job, so at times, it's really impossible for me to even take a peek at blogger.

Have a great weekend blogmates!

HULING YUGTO

Ito na ang HULING YUGTO sa ating pagbabalik tanaw sa nakaraan. Sabi nga nila e save the best for last diba?o eto na yun, eto na yung stage sa ating buhay kung san grumadweyt na tayo sa pabili-bili ng ice tubig, sa pagkakaron ng libag, yung panahon na yung ibang kababaihan ay naging konsyus na, mga tinubuan na ng mumunting bundok, dito na nauso sa ibang kababaihan yung ritwal na twinkle twinkle little star (kung hinde mo alam yun sorry hinde ko sasabihin, mag reserts ka at yun e kung mahahanap mo siya sa google *evil laugh*) at ang ritwal na yun e nigagawa tuwing alas 3 ng hapon (jusme! ngayon ko lang narealize na kasabay pa talaga siya ng 3:00 prayer). Yung ibang batang lalake, binata na, wala ng kuto pero mga tinigtigyawat na. Ito ang panahon ng papaya o likas soap. Hinde pa naman kasi uso yung Belo lotion o soap nun e, kaya papaya o likas soap ang mabenta. At pwede ba naman mawala ang eskinol at dalacin-c?at yung chinchansu para sa mga mas "matured?" Sosyal na sosyal ka na kapag ang pabango mo e yung cool water, ewan ko ba lahat nung mga kaklase ko nun hibang na hibang sa amoy nun siguro iilan lang kame ang nanatiling loyal sa Johnson's baby cologne at meron din naman kakaunti na mas gusto ang bonbon cologne. Hinde pa uso ang MAC nun o ang pagpa- foundation kaya naman ang laman ng kikay kit ko nun e Johnson's baby powder, minsan pa nga yung gitna/tupi nung panyo ko e merong powder dun e, pang retouch pag recess o lunch imbes na ilagay ko sa bulsa yung buong pulbos diba?!

Naranasan ko din naman lumevel up no! Yung Johnson's baby powder ko naging Pond's na at yung Johnson's  baby cologne ko naman naging baby bench na. =)) Nagkaron din ako ng Bench Atlantis tsaka yung sa Penshoppe na parang testube lang siya?

Ang benta nung mga photo studio nun e, sinong my sabing pang bio-data at pang passport lang ang mga photo studios nun? asa boi! para sa mga magbabarkada din yun tpos wallet size picture pa, nauso din yung Tronix na pwede mo ipalaminate o kaya pwede ka pumili ng background, meron din naman yung neoprint haha pahuhuli ba naman kameng magbi-berks?

Para sa mga mag-jo-jowa hinde natatapos ang lahat sa studio picture dahil dadaan pa yan sa mga tindahan tulad ng Filigrenasia para bumili ng "engagement" ring at para maging lubos ang ka-kornihan engrave pa dun sa singsing yung pangalan nilang mag jowa.
