I got my BPI My ePrepaid card today! :D

This prepaid card can be used like a credit card but you can only spend the current amount loaded on your card. For more info, you can always check out BPI’s website.

One of the many reasons I applied for this card is to have my own iTunes account. My dad didn’t want me to use his credit card number to sign-up so the only apps I have are the stuff on my best friend’s iTunes library. Unfortunately, I have to have at least Php 200 load on my card before I can sign-up. I need to load this thing asap!

I became a Directioner just a few weeks ago. I’ve heard of One Direction months ago and I am very familiar with their faces but I never bothered to listen to their songs. I was really not interested. Charina became a huge 1D fan last November (or was it September?). She kept on telling me about the boys and how awesome they are. I Googled them but I still didn’t check them out on Youtube.

A few weeks ago, their song What Makes You Beautiful played while I was in school. I got hooked. It was a great song! I really regret that I didn’t listen to them earlier. A couple of weeks before that incident, I spotted their book at Fully Booked The Block. I could’ve bought it if I wanted to, but during that time, I didn’t want to. I really hate myself for not listening to their music earlier!

When I dropped by TriNoma 2 weeks ago, I was looking for their album. I thought Up All Night is already released here because it was released last November but to my surprise, it isn’t.

According to Ivory Music and Video (Philippines), Up All Night’s release date is on February 3 and their album launch is on February 11. Here’s a quote from Ivory Music and Video’s Facebook page:

Save the date, Filipino Directioners! The ONE DIRECTION “UP ALL NIGHT” ALBUM LAUNCH will be on Saturday, February 11, 2012! Venue, freebies and other details will be posted soon. 

Album Launch Date: February 11, 2012
What does this mean: It means that the LIMITED EDITION of the album will only be available on this date and only at the venue of the launch. Freebies will only be available on this day. Limited copies and will never be reproduced again after the first production. 18-page inlay/booklet, O-card box casing. Price: PHP550

I really wanna go! But it all depends on the venue and Yannah’s schedule. I hope it’s gonna be held at The Block. The Block is just 30 minutes away from where I live.

I went to 168 Mall today with my mom, my aunts and my best friend for the first time to buy some abacca bags for my sister’s 18th birthday giveaways. I was really excited to go to 168 because of the travel notebooks/journals! I buy mine online and they’re a bit pricey already because of the interest. Here are some of the travel themed notebooks I got for myself and for my sister:

I was in awe when I saw so many travel themed notebooks. It was like heaven! Seriously! I just love these travel themed notebooks. I really can’t believe that I got these notebooks and this scheduler for only Php 70 each!  I saw those notebooks online for Php 120 and the scheduler for Php 200. I’m so glad I didn’t buy them online. I was really giddy and hyper while I was picking out these notebooks. I really wanted to buy more but I had to control myself. I’m planning on going back there on the first week April. I’d like these notebooks to be my college notebooks. The size is perfect. 

I got these for only Php 60 each! I was really surprised. I’ve never been to 168 and I really couldn’t believe that they sell these notebooks for such a low price. I believe these can cost up to Php 150 online. The one on the left is for my sister.

The one on the left is a scrapbook while the one on the right is a hardbound journal. They’re only Php 180! *u* I think I should consider buying a roll or two of Hey Kessy washi tapes anytime soon for this pretty scrapbook.

I saw similar rabbit with fur tail cases online for Php 350 each. These two cases are only Php 150 each! Again, I was really surprised when the saleslady said they’re only Php 150. I. cannot. believe. it. I kinda hate the blue fur tail. It’s not as furry as the black one :|.

This vanity set is only Php 400. Same with the lip shaped couches. Some of those couches are actually worth Php 480 in Landmark TriNoma. I was really happy when I saw this. It’s not only a vanity set for my dollies; it’s also a jewelry box for me! :D

I’m really, really glad we went to 168. I should go there more often and buy more travel journals and doll couches!

I wasn’t able to go to school yesterday so I decided to spend my spare time unboxing and photographing my Monster High dolls. MH photos from Flickr motivated me to do this. Other Flickr users’ MH photos are so beautiful. I wish I could take brilliant doll pictures like them! But unfortunately, I don’t know how to use the SLR properly.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took yesterday. These are my favorites.

This would’ve looked better if Ghoulia’s belt was in place.

I didn’t include everything because some of them are a bit too blurry than they’re supposed to be at the bottom. I really need to figure out how to use the focus properly.

If you’d like to see the others, you can check them out on my Flickr.

While I was eating my breakfast, I suddenly remembered the USTET results. It was exactly 6:23 in the morning when I found out that I passed! :D Okay, I’m on the waiting list but that’s good enough for me! I know someone who got wait listed and still ended up going there so I’m pretty optimistic about this :)

I got wait listed on my first choice, Advertising Arts. I didn’t qualify for my second choice though. My second choice is Communication Arts. 

I really can’t believe that I actually got on the waiting list! I really had a feeling that I may fail because of my poor math skills and the not so stellar drawing I did (it’s part of the course’s entrance test).

My choice of college is now between Miriam College and UST. Location wise, I prefer Miriam. I really like Katipunan. But I guess UST would be a better choice.

Made name tags for our cats (Lord Tubbington, Mr. Chuck and Jesse) with their photo, our address plus my mom’s phone number in case they get lost. Jesse went out and I got hysterical. I cried buckets of tears after realizing he’s not at the back of our house (he stays there coz he pees literally everywhere in the house). I’m so happy he got back. I really don’t know what to do if I lose them. They’re my babies.

Every year, I always celebrate my birthday. It can be as simple as having my friends over for dinner or going ice skating or going to the amusement park. The point is, I just have to celebrate it. I wouldn’t feel like it’s my birthday at all if I don’t celebrate. Usually, I would already have something planned by January. This year, however, is an exception. I have no idea what to do for my birthday. I’m thinking of going swimming with my friends since I haven’t done that before but one of my best friends might not be allowed to go. Her mom’s pretty strict. Well, I still have a month and a couple of weeks to think about what I’ll do on my 16th birthday. In the meantime, I’ll share with you some of my past birthday pictures.

12th Birthday.

Went to Club Princess to get the hair & make-up makeover with my friends. We look so different here! Photo taken using the Timezone photo booth (which explains the poor quality).

13th Birthday.

Went to Megamall to ice skate with my friends. I just grabbed this from my now non-existent Friendster account because the original files, unfortunately, got deleted.

14th Birthday.

Went to MoA to ice skate, once again. Again, sorry for the crappy quality. I just grabbed this one from my Facebook account because the original file got deleted.

15th Birthday.

My latest birthday. It was the best birthday for so many reasons. I celebrated it for two days. I went to MoA and Star City with my friends on the 27th and invited my friends and former classmates over to dinner on the 28th (my actual birthday).
