• Went to school to practice for the cotillion and the culminating activity.
• Had a hard time keeping up during the cotillion practice because Zaldy, my partner, was absent.
• I was feeling really, really sleepy until Erick stretched my arm way too high during the cotillion practice. My mind has finally awaken.
• Took a nap on the bench.
• Practiced for the culminating activity.
• Our dance was lifeless.
• Slept on the couch at the guidance office.
• Went home and had lunch.
• Went to Tabang to buy flowers and stuff for our dish gardening project with Ellaine and Krizia.
• I was able to cross the street without being accused of committing suicide (yay me!)
• Felt a bit nauseous during the jeepney ride. I’m not used to it but I should start because I’ll be in college in a few months.
• Had a snack at Zagu.
• Finally went home.

On another note, please pray for the fast recovery of my cat, Mr. Chuck, who has been ill since yesterday. 

I’ve been quite fond of Snow White recently and I’m glad this doll will be available soon! I’d love to buy her. I wish I’ll have enough money by the time she becomes available. This doll’s really pretty!

This line also comes with an Evil Queen. I also like this doll.

This is the most productive day of my life since the start of 2012. First, I went to the seamstress to have 3 dresses made; 1 for prom, 1 for my sister’s debut and 1 for graduation. 

Behind me is a pile of client folders and fabrics.

This royal blue dress is my sister’s dress for her debut. It’s not yet finished, as you can see.

The swatch with pinned fabrics would be my prom dress’s fabric.

The green swatch overlapped with black would be my dress’s color for my sister’s debut. I wasn’t able to take a photo of the fabric swatches for my graduation dress but it’s going to be pale pink.

A photo of the table with all of the fabric swatches. I loved being at the seamstress’s office or whatever you want to call it and looking at all the fabrics. I want to be a fashion designer someday that’s why seeing all these fabric swatches excites me. 

While my mom was talking to the shop’s owner, I browsed the April 2011 issue of Ok magazine. I was so happy when I found this page with my TVD boys. I just had to take a picture!

Our second stop was at my great grandaunt’s house somewhere near the shop. She’s sick and my mom tries to visit her every time she’s near the place.

Our third stop was at the nearest mall which is SM Cubao to buy a late birthday for Charina, buy materials for my science project and to find a pair of silver shoes for prom and graduation. I was lucky I found one. The heels are a bit high but it’s really pretty and it was already comfier than the other pairs I’ve tried so I settled with it. It’s from Barbie by Shubizz, one of my favorite shoe brands. Their shoes are really pretty and best of all, they’re all Barbie inspired!

I also bought a copy of One Direction’s Up All Night regular edition album! Of course I picked the one with the Zayn postcard. He’s my favorite. It’s the only Zayn left on the shelf and I’m so glad I managed to buy it before someone else did! :D

We had our afternoon snack at French Baker. This is the macchiato I ordered. I love how they serve their coffees. I also ate an 18-inch slice of pizza. It made me really full. I  cannot believe I managed to eat it by myself.

The last thing I did this day was drop by at Charina’s place for her late birthday celebration. My best friends were there and we finally had time to talk! It’s so hard to talk about everything through text and chat. 

Right now, I’m so excited to check out my dress and watch The Vow with my best friends next Sunday!

I’ve been bringing my camera with me to school everyday to take pictures of my classmates and make memories.

Our regular uniform. Probably the only thing I love about my school.

I only have a few decent pictures on my camera. Most of them are stolen shots and the other decent ones are on Ellaine’s camera.

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.
