Wow..seriously?! I'm such a pig =__=

Okay so Saturday..I had like, 3 birthday parties to attend =_=  Then today, I went to eat at Thai Garden with my fam after watching the NBA playoffs ._. Sad LA lost but they'll come back in home court! =D So here's a debriefing of Saturday:

Lunch: All-You-Can-Eat @ Kingsway Sushi [12-2PM]
WOW. All you can eat Japanese overload much?! Crazyyyyyy! It was a birthday party for these two little cute kiddies. Two sisters, one turned 6 and the other turned 4. SOOO cute! x) Their birthday cake was to die for. The parents got it from this cupcake place so yeah. Cream cheese frosting in between and a perfect buttercream frosting. Normally, I hate buttercream icing/frosting cause it's too heavy and think and just gross =/ But this time, it was perrrrrrfect!

Dinner: Home party @ Surrey [7-8:30PM]
Okay so this one was pretty boring =( I didn't eat that much since I was still so full from the day before AND lunch @_@ Also, I wasn't too fond of their family because they kinda seem nosy to me =/ I just really wanted to get out. Luckily, my youth fam bam saved me just in time! Thanks to my dad for being so nice about it =)

Late night: Home party @ Langley [9:30-11:30PM]
One of my youth fam had her birthday last week and we went to her house and celebrated along with her family. We were pretty late but we still managed to be there and not be TOO late. We bought 20 ice cream sandwiches and 20 candles and then we stacked them in a pyramid of 6,5,4,3,2 and yeah. Douche cake apparently o_O But yeah, it was fun =)

Late LAATE night: Boston Pizza's @ Surrey [11:30PM-1:15PM]
We left her house with everyone that came and met up with this other guy at BP's. Apparently, he was really hungry so yeah. Not many people ate. L beside me bought some Pizza Bread. C to L's right bought some NY style cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Yum yum. Had a bite of it =P Then N (the hungry guy) had some Chicken Thai Bites and some pasta dish. RdC had something...totally didn't pay attention and then R had some Apple Crisp dessert. Anyway, while they were eating, W and I were playing Jenga. It got pretty heated. Like, we had 4 or 5 single blocks in a row n_n It was funny too cause I used my long nails to hammer at some blocks wahahhahaha. Then it fell on him. We played again with 3 people this time and the tower collapsed on W. H and I won =D

And yeah. C drove me home. Poor dude was so tired that he wasn't tired at all @_@; I owe him big time. In any case, I'll give profiles of my friends in a post sooner or later =) They're all very cool people!

Okay so another update. FINALLY. hahaha. This will be about my debut which was my 18th birthday party. So here's some background information:

It's a Filipino tradition that when a girl turns 18, she celebrates it with a HUUUGE party. So big that it's comparable to a wedding, but still not quite as big but you get the gist right? There is the debutante, which was me, and I had an escort to follow me around for most of the night. It can be a boyfriend or a close friend or a cousin. It just has to be a guy hahaha. Anyway, there are two mandatory components to this party and it is the 18 Candles and the 18 Roses. The 18 Candles are the Debutante's closest relatives, friends, Godmothers and aunts and just really close ladies in general who will give her some words of advice or say something about her. The 18 Roses are the 18 special guys in her life whether it be friends, cousins, family, schoolmates, etc. who dance with her and they symbolize how they're going to protect her and whatnot. Yaget? Also, the father has to be the first dance in the 18 roses and the escort is the last. That is a MUST. Anyway, another component, that isn't as mandatory but still pretty important, is the Cotillion. The traditional cotillion is composed of 9 pairs. The debutante and her escort and 8 pairs of her closest guy and girl friends. These people are also included in her 18 Roses and 18 Candles. They are also the participants closer to the debutante's age, obviously =P Aaand I think that's it for the background info =) Now, here's my experiences for that day!

Morning 8-12ish
--> church
--> Pathfinder investiture
--> boring
--> getting nervous because we should've been at the make-up by then @_@
--> shower! hahaha

Afternoon 1-3ish
--> hair + make-up @ Gii Bii Studio
--> going back home to fetch the clothes
--> freaking out because the event was starting soon
--> calling people to check if they're ready or not

Pre-part 4-6
--> more calling people to see if they're making their way to the location
--> freaking out over decorations, last minute arrangements
--> trying to practice but everyone never really came on time

PARTYYY 7-1030
--> fun
--> stressful
--> unforgettable
--> LOVED the decorations. so simple..well kind-of. LOTS of balloons for sure x)
--> escort = doki doki
--> no crying though =_= I thought that the parent speech was going to make me sad but noOoOoOOOOOoo
--> 18 Candles = funny. one really LOOONG speech by this older lady. my Godmother repeated "Don't do what other teenagers are doing" like..3 times LOL
--> 18 Roses = @___@;; my dress kept on going down T_T; it got so bad that you could see the tops of my fake boobies xD;;
--> escort dance/waltz = worse but not AS bad. he was so sweet as to pull it up for me and I felt so safe in his arms ><
--> didn't get to eat much though I heard the food was great
--> youth singing = closest I got to crying
--> opening vid = so cute xD I'll never forget it
--> so many people came @_@
--> cotillion was totes hilair xD despite messing up quite abit, it was really fun =)
--> over-all just really fun ^__^

After party 11-1245
--> dancing was fun!
--> music wasn't the best though
--> downed a shot or two but didn't affect me that much
--> LOTS of dancing
--> my escorts fam stayed the latest in terms of guests (till 1245AM ish)
--> all we did was dance xD
--> lots of misleading pictures out there n_n;
--> yeah, just lots of dancing
--> dancing circle thingy going on =P

After all was said and done... 1-4
--> my escort phoned me and we just talked. and talked and talked till around 4AM haha
--> opened presents (going to post a picture up later when I find the camera =__=)
--> yeeep. =)

So yeah. Over-all, the party went REALLY well. Even though not everything that we wanted to happen happen, everything was just great. Most people wouldn't have noticed otherwise anyway since they don't know about it. It was definitely a night to remember for me and I'm still feeling the rush =P It's been 2 weeks already but I'm still all giddy and happy about it xD! Weeeeee. The stress and frustrations was definitely worth it =)

I don't actually have any photos myself. They're all from other people =( I stole a few both will only post two. Uhm, yes. My entrance dress is the yellow one and my dance/18 Roses dress is the black one (ewww. arm fat). Just some pics w/ my escort hehe.


Yepperz! =) And that's my summary.



In other news...

I'm following the NBA Playoffs 2010. I knew the Celtics would win the Eastern Conference Finals against Magic =P Now, to wait for the Lakers to close up their series tomorrow against the Suns and we're off for the Finals!!! I'm so stoked. It'll be so epic hehehehe.

So it's been around three weeks since my last post and I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately. It's just that it's report card week and we're alll trying to make up for what we're missing in our classes and whatnot. PLUS planning for my birthday party has just been such a drag.

I said I would post about my trip to Mexico and here goes! I will start by posting links to alllll the photos that I took:

Mish Mex 2010 [i]
Mish Mex 2010 [ii]
Mish Mex 2010 [iii]
Mish Mex 2010 [iv]

I set my albums so that they would be viewable by the public. =) Anyway, here's the run-down, day by day.

March 14th, 2010

At around 12:00AM, I'm just chilling at home, waiting for 1:00AM to come so we can leave xD Flight is at 6:30AM or something like that and we had to be at the airport by 3-3:30AM. So yeah, get there. First person there was Carvy. I was next then people started trickling in. We were all either really sleepy or really hyped. Fun stuff. Checked in, looong line-up since there was 21 of us. Then the next thing you know, you're on the plane O_O Time passes by really quickly in airports. So we get on and we fly to Tacoma, Seattle airport. Didn't sleep in that one at all since it was only a 1hour flight. Just to let you know... NEVER FLY ALASKA AIRLINES. SUCH BAD LANDING SKILLS >:( Okay anyway, we were at the Seattle airport for about 2hours or so. My best friend, Maria, and I decide to eat breakfast and where else better than at Chili's! It wasn't the real deal though. It was called "Chili's too". Like, wtf <_<; In any case, we had big breakfasts. I should have a picture somewhere in there =p And theeeeeen, another airplane ride going to Phoenix. Slept in that one. Couldn't take it anymore @_@ I was sleeping soo soundly but then the landing was SO crappy that it woke me up and made me jump in my seat. Literally =_= And theeen, after getting our luggage and stuff sorted out, we went on the bus for a 12hr bus ride to Tesopaco, Mexico! It wasn't super hot in Phoenix. It was bearable heat. But then again, I was only outside for a maybe 30minutes or so. Stop over at some fast food places for lunch/dinner. Obviously, I was still on the hunt for churros at this time so I was searching but found none. However, Maria and I found out that you can get 1 large meal and a sandwich at Burger King for $12. And by large, I mean LARGE. The drinks were HUUUGE and the sandwiches were even huger. @_@ Anyway, so we were on the bus for 11-13 hours. The Mexican border was so ghetto. Nothing special at all. It's like...I don't know how to describe it. I should have a picture in there. Anyway, going into Mexico itself was like going back to the Philippines' ghetto area. It wasn't that surprising for me psh. And yeah. 11-13 hours. When it was dark, the bus driver turned off the lights, left little blue night lights on and he seemed to have turned up the AC =_= It was SOO cold D: but my feet were sweating all at the same time. Strange eh. People were starting to say that the bus driver turned in on for fun LOL. At times when people couldn't sleep, we pulled out the gee-tar and jammed. Sang and had some fun =) Got to Tesopaco at around 2:30AM. Set up our sleeping quarters and slept =)


March 15th, 2010

Due to the cold of the bus, I got a wee bit sick. Woke up at 8AM for breakfast and I was doing worship that day so I just re-used my sermon about food and serving God. Breakfast was pancakes, fruit and some kinda porridge. I don't like porridge so def didn't touch that. Pancakes was okay. After breakfast, we separated into construction and Vacation Bible School groups. I was in VBS so we went into a room to prep for that. I couldn't handle it though cause I was too sick. My eyes were glossy and I was still really sleepy so the teachers told me to sleep. So I slept and slept, then woke up, helped out with VBS, then it was lunch! I forgot what it was but it was really good :D After that, more VBS prep and then off to a little town called "La Estrella" for VBS for the kids there. I was in charge of crafts. Totes def not fun. It was hard communicating with the kids due to the language barrier but most of them understood. We didn't really get to finish it the way it's supposed to look but it's okay. I tried out some basic Spanish words that I knew on the bus ride there on one of the teachers of the school that we were staying at. I was asking her age and said "Tos numeros?" Which means "Your number?" LOL. Then I had to ask my classmate Yaya how to ask for someone's age and she told me "Tos anos?" And yeah. Good stuff. I kept asking Sergio, the son of the principal who owned the school we were staying at, how to say lots of things in Spanish. Fun times. Then we went back, had dinner which was awesome as well :D Worship, then we switched people for VBS. Showered, Maria and I showered together ;D, got clean and talked to my mom and big brother on Skype. While the principal was in the room, my brother asked if I could bring back a bottle of tequila. Talk about awk. Anyway, bed time!


Holy crap, there's so much to write. MORE TO COME TMRW. I'm hoping to do two days per post per day x) Yeah. =)


In other news...

PLAYOFFS ARE STARTING!!!

In NBA 2010, I'm obviously rooting for LA Lakers but Denver Nuggets will be in my hearts. Yay Carmelo Anthony (leading scorer I believe) and Chauncey "Mr. Big Shot" Billups. I read a bio on Billups and that began my interest in him. He's called Mr. Big Shot cause he takes those impossible-seeming shots that not many would dare to take and he gets it in. Something like that. =P

LA Lakers are against Oklahoma Thunder and they're currently at a 2-1 series with Lakers leading. Anyway, go Lakers! Haha x)

In NHL 2010, go Canucks! I'm not a big hockey enthusiast but as a Vancouverite, I must share the same faith and enthusiasm that other Vancouver Canucks fans share haha. Screw LA Kings for using "I believe" or "believe" in their cheering for their team. Vancouverites should have copyrighted that or something since I remember hearing that being used even way before the winter olympics. Yeah?

Series right now is...well, I don't know but I think they're tied. o: Good luck Canucks!

PANDIZMSTR 5

So...I'm like, 2 weeks early <_<;>_>;; Strange. Very strange. But I should have seen it coming. Cravings and pimples =( Lame.

I made some homemade chocolate to give to my guy friends tomorrow. Only one set could be considered as honmei-choco but it's not like I can give it close to the actual day of Valentine's.

And yeah. The first few days of my mom and my cousin + his family being here is...different. I'm just so used to being independent that it's weird and annoying for my mom to always tell me to do stuff @_@ It'sk. I'll get used to it.

NBA All-Stars game tonight. East VS West. East won by TWO points. Lame. I hate it because I feel like the Eastern starters can be cocky. But they can't because they can't beat West with Kobe playing. So yeah. Which reminds me, three people were injured and they were the better players (imo.), Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Brandon Roy. All three of them have injuries so yeah n_n But it's okay. Considering that those three guys weren't playing, the Western Conference team did pretty well!

Love for Chauncy "Mr. Big Shot" Billups and Carmelo Anthony!

LOL @ Deron Williams' foul (he didn't know that he wasn't supposed to do that xD)
LMAO @ Dirk Nowitzki's face when Deron Williams went to foul ("NOOOOOOOOO" was on his face. LOLOLOLOL)
ROFL @ Dwight Howard's foul on Dirk (I don't remember why I was laughing but I know it was just funny xD)

LIX

We had our first basketball game yesterday and it was against the last team we played against. Pretty fun x) 71-15 for us and I fouled 3 times (I think). 2/3 fouls involved heavy physical contact. The first one, I was defending against a girl and I kinda tripped on my own feet and fell and that was a foul on me apparently @_@; The second one is more entertaining. I was guarding this girl who was gonna have a breakaway but I wouldn't let her at all and I ended up tackling her. Then, instead of rolling AWAY from her, for some reason, I rolled ON her. LOL =X But yeah. Once again, I didn't get any points (I'm too shy T.T;;) and any other positive stats but it's okay.


Attempted to play MW2 on my youth family friend's XBOX 360 tonight. It was hard cause I'm used to my PS3 controller and the shoot/aim down/grenades buttons are switched up *sigh* It's okay. Next time!


In other news, I finally reached my goal of saving up to $300! Unfortunately, as soon as I did, I went to Michael's (the arts and crafts store) to buy stuff for my silk screening attempt and spent around $50 =_=;; But it's worth it! I hope.


In relation to the previous paragraph, attempting my first "silk-screening" project over the weekend. I started last night for the stencil making but it didn't work as well as I did in terms of actually using the stencil on the shirt. I had to go over the lines anyway -__-; I guess it's okay since at least I had a guide. Looking forward to tomorrow when I finish this =) I'll post up pics when I'm done.


Also, I received my term 2 report cards today. I went up in everything except for Bible and Math. Bible, to be expected since my worship wasn't that great. Math, also to be expected just cause our teacher sucks balls. My average went up though by 1%! 92%-->93% Probs because my Drama grade went up to 100%, my English grade went up to 99%, my Chemistry grade went up to 94% and my Biology grade went up to 89%. I know it sounds like I'm bragging but I'm just really happy. Please bear with me :P

Yay! 10th post ^_^ I bought two Hard Candy lip glosses the other day. I'll post them up tomorrow and do a review with pictures.

@_@ OMGosh. So I'm just really obsessed with getting rid of my acne ): I'm so desperate right now that I'm planning to do a homemade mask almost every night. I made a chart to sum it all up. =)


Credits to: foodsubs.com, Disney, celebrations.com, tuxpaint.org, curlycutie.com, celebritiesforhealth.com and St. Ives for the pictures.

Eep! The quality sucks T_T;; but I hope it isn't that bad. Yeah, I gotta stay dedicated for this to work ><

I'll post up the recipes that I used for each mask and I'll do a mini-journal thingy with pictures. I'll just use the pictures I took for the Bio-Oil and do a massive update talking about what worked and what didn't then. Which should be in two weeks. Or maybe y'know what, I'll just take pictures now and update seperately =)


In other news, the playoff teams that I've been following for the past week and a half (numbers correspond with the placing of the team name) :

LA Lakers vs Utah Jazz: 1-0
Vancouver Canucks vs St. Louis Blues: 3-0
New Orleans Hornets vs Denver Nuggets: 0-1

I'm rooting for LA (pretty obvious. Kobe-time and Trevor Ariza!), Vancouver (I'm a Vancouverite :3) and New Orleans (CP3 baby!!).
