Happy Birthday

Yesterday was my 16th birthday. Twinkle and I celebrated our birthdays (mine on the 16th and hers on the 29th) together surrounded by our friends huhu who never fail to make us feel very very happy and content and special and loved and every good adjective there is in the world + sexy HAHA. 

Super cute and funky couple

Mum, me, my sister!

We had lunch at Chili's in Greenbelt. What made it so fun and stuff was because we merged like a ton of our groups and what we got is this lovely bunch of people who are all mutually connected and happy and very fun and quite autistic.

Twinkle, Bea, Dana, Daryl, me

We had to wait a while outside since the place was packed and so we had our photo ops first cos we we're 'growing up too fast' and 'so high school-y' hehe. It felt like we were one of those poor kids in American movies wherein they had to painstakingly endure their parents' stageperson-ness with all the picture taking and fussing hehe.

Daryl, Dana, Bea, Twinkle, Chloe, Jazz, me, Russ, Nath, Erik

We finally got seated and had tons of fun while we ate. I have this weird thing where I don't eat bread like the Gardenia ones and burgers but I eat cakes and garlic breads. I don't remember how it started but one day while I was a kid, I just started not eating bread hehe. Last January 1, I ate my first burger since it is the supposed last year on earth for everyone. I then ate another burger with my sister while my parents were in Thailand last March and yesterday, December 16, I ate my 3rd burger yay HAHA. 

da twins

da couple HAHA joke

I got this sword from Daryl and it made me look like Myrtle the cosplayer HUHUHUHEHEHEHUHUHUHUHU. This is me slicing the cake with my cosplayer skillz

Chili's people making a ruckus singing a Happy Birthday song hahaha

Chloe, Diana, Bianca!

Churro gurlz hehe yellow red blue hehe cool hehe

Bea with the painting that she made for Twinkle huhu what is AMAZING!!

Some love triangle going on

After we ate, which made us feel like grown ups what with the paying of the bill and all, we decided to skip watching a movie, visited a few stores and went to the Ayala Museum hihihihi. I was so stoked since I've always wanted to visit a museum with mah fwendz, so stoked that I forgot that I've already been there during a field trip back when I was still in St. Scho HAHAHA.

"Chloe The Tour Guide: A True Story"

The museum trip was very........................autistic. HAHAHA I really can't find any other word that suits it perfectly. Chloe got possessed by some tour guide's spirit and she started spewing nonsense all over. She also went back to her roots when she saw the Chinese people in the Philippine history section HAHA. We also had fun sidling up next to the famous people thingies on the wall which had their height thingy hehe. Turns out I'm taller than Jose Rizal, Carlos P. Garcia I think or maybe Romulo? and the Aetas, I am as tall as Emilio Aguinaldo and I am definitely not as tall as an American Soldier. 

We dawdled around the Gold and Embroidery section more on the Gold section since it had lovely couches and a huge projector screen thingy that we took advantage of since our feet hurt hehe. After the whole museum trip, we went out and became fashion blahgahs.

Jazz + Twinkle

Bianca and Russ

Erik + Diana

DA TWINS DANA AND DARYL

We went to Powerbooks and stayed there for some time just messing around and occasionally buying stuff then we'd go back to doing nothing and then doing something hehe.

Raccoon at Filbars hehe

 We met up with Chloe's family and said goodbye to her. The rest of the gang went to Razon's for snacks while Jazz, SD Nath and I went to Topshop. After a while we went back to Razon's and then I had to bid farewell to everyone since my family and I were gonna hear mass in the chapel.

After the mass, we headed to Cyma for our dinner yay. The food was just so tasty. I love food. I am embracing my love for food. The ribs were ugh. The eggplant lasagna-ish thingy called moskus(?) was ugh. Everything was ugh huhu. So yummy ugh hahahhahaha.

Ugh-ful hehe

After getting our bellies filled, we walked towards the parking lot when a wall of tube paints caught my eye. That had to be the best Fully Booked branch for me. I died and went to art heaven. There were so many pretty things that my senses went into overload huhu. 

Had to end this post with something artsy hihi

Today has got to be the best birthday I've ever had...yet. The time spent with my friends AND my family is priceless. I couldn't ask for a better set of friends AND family hahaha. I love you all hihi.

Gab's Birthday Giveaway!

I first thought of having a giveaway on the day our report cards were released way back in the first quarter. I wanted to base the giveaway on my rank or whatever but then there were complications and so the ranking was not given huhu. Last quarter's cards out however brought good news and extreme joy hehe. So I'm having this giveaway 1) because I'm really happy with my academics 2) it's my birthday and I love birthdays and you guys ought to be happy too 3) it's Christmas and people should get gifts hehehe!!!! 

Babydolls, here are the prizes up for Gabs!! Woops I meant grabs................these really came from the heart hihi.

Trivial Pursuit Board Game

This 25th year edition of Trivial Pursuit is such a steal. Just like Superman joke HAHA. I used to have a weird obsession with board games when I was younger. I was exposed to Monopoly and such and I knew they're a bit pricey so when I discovered the cheap, often Disney themed board games that were sale for only P70 pesos so I'd buy myself a box whenever we'd visit my haven, National Bookstore. 

Mummy Model/Puzzle

This Universal Studios model of a mummy shows my love for monsters and puzzles hehehe. I don't know when it started but I am in love with monsters and mythical creatures that's why this is so perfect hihi it stands 8 inches tall and is well a mummy!!

Canson Watercolor Pad, 200gsm 

200gsm woopie!! It means the paper is thick. I love thick papers hehe they're my best friends whenever I'd paint. Oh and yadda yadda yadda this is included here since I love art.

Lisa Frank Sticker Album + Stickers

 I was deprived of Lisa Frank stuff when I was a kid since the li'il bastards were pricey huhuhu!! That's why now that I know how to save money and all that jazz, I invest on me Lisa Frank goodies hihi. So if you too were deprived, this is for you!!!!!! 

Prang Watercolor Pan

This would go well with the Canson Watercolor Pad hihi! I used to stay away from Prang but then I tried it out and our irreconcilable differences proved to be reconcilable and that's why I like Prang now hehehe.

Gab from Russet Accessories

I AM GIVING AWAY MYSELF HEHEHEHE!! Sorry that cracks me up every time hehe. You get the Gab set from my sister's shop, Russet Accessories! This was named after me since I've expressed how much I love it. It's like a mouth with an eye inside for me.

Russet's 1st Collection: Meraki

I'm so stoked to show you guys my sister's first collection woop woop!! With all the advertising I'm doing, it feels like all the hours I spent hypnotized by the Home Shopping Network has finally paid off. Anyway, here goes my sales lady spiel: 

Do you still not have gifts for your family and friends this Christmas? Have you been too busy/stressed to go tick off the names on your Christmas shopping list? Are you broke? I have solutions for 2 of the 3 questions hehe. Check out Russet's first collection entitled Meraki and since it's online it wouldn't be THAT much of a hassle amirite hehehehe. Give my sister's handmade babies a home this Christmas...please..and..thank you! 

Here are some of my favorites from her collection heehee:

Meraki, P280

This baby is a celebrity since she was named after the collection itself. Meraki means to do something with love in some language that I have forgotten already. It's very nice and I hate myself for using that generic word but I really am dumb when it comes to describing accessories huhu but seriously I'D WEAR THIS!! 

Meraki likes long walks on the beach, watching the sunset, reading good books while having a cup of tea every Tuesday. 

Foxxy, P250

Foxxy was named after Foxxy Cleopatra from Austin Powers!! This is Orange-y. If you like the color Orange, you should buy this to prove your love for the said color. Or if you're a fan of Beyonce, you too should buy this. If your favorite color is Orange and your favorite person is Beyonce, you should buy two!

Foxxy is one foxy lady. She likes to solve crimes and hangs out in various parlors. She likes to cook and has 3 cats.

Gab. P220

Last but definitely not the least...........we have Gab!!! Hehehe we have me hehehehe!! But sadly nope I am not for sale, but this one definitely is! This is MY baby. The first time I saw it on my sister's table I fell instantly in love with it. I love it because it looks so dainty yet so deliciously gruesome. It seriously reminds me of Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter albeit a tea-party-attending Alastor. 

Gab likes to paint. Gab likes to hang and wrap herself around your wrist. Gab likes to watch movies. Gab can sit on your desk for a long time. Gab can also be won in the other Gab's upcoming Birthday Giveaway wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Gab when dissected hehe not too bloody hehe joke

 Those are just my favorites from Russet's first collection. Check out the entire album on Facebook and maybe if you want or if you're feeling lonely, you could comment which one is YOUR favorite but if you're really busy and you don't wanna do it, it's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine........................................................... :(
