New Domain Name

Hi friends,

Good day! As of now, I have my new official domain name. From swirlsandscribbles.blogspot.com to my own www.swirlsandscribbles.com! Well, don't you worry if you type the old one because it will automatically redirect to the new domain name. I'm so thankful that I have the friendliest and accommodating people who set it up for me and guide we every step of the way. They are the onlydomain.com. It all started from one tweet and they offered me the most convenient price for only $8.90 annually. Compare it to other sites they are cheaper. I really recommend them if you want to buy your domain name or for hosting your own site. Thank you for reading my post! I hope you come back next time for more stories, photos or what’s hot in the metro. Hahaha Mwaaaahh I appreciate it to the highest level!

XOXO,
ME

Year Ender Post for 2011

Show me a good time, 2012. <3

Hello, I know it’s late for a year-ender post. I’m in total hiatus in blogging. I am so sorry, let’s catch up. Well, 2011 was not a bad year. I meet new people and re-connected to some of my long lost friends. I learned a lot of values. I fell in love and still in love as of now. I have been juggling being an employee, a daughter, a friend and a girlfriend. I am always in search for a better opportunities and adventures. I went to some places with my special people. I dared to be different and unique but not main stream.

The start of 2011 was really a good time for everything. Happiness and partying were the right words to describe it. It was total ecstasy to my family, to my friends and to my love ones. I started to date and meet new friends again. A little of bit of center of attraction won’t hurt sometimes. In the middle of the year, I started to be a little depress about everything. It was really not a good chapter of 2011. Confusion, dishonesty and different emotions took over to some of those months. I was losing my grip at that time but I fought hard. I risked almost of all my sanity. However, God is good all the time. I cast my burdens upon HIM and He helped me regain myself. Thank you so much!

As I end 2011, everything fell into the right place. I realized I became strong. I counted my blessings and appreciate the goodness of the Lord. I trust God that whatever trials I will encounter, I know He is there to guide me and let me know I am capable to survive it. So 2012, please be good to be. =)

In adventure, change

Subic Adventure

One spontaneous getaway! Yes, this is it! The plan was to go to Batangas but at the very moment, the plan was changed and all of the sudden we were on the bus, on our way to Subic, Zambales. Wooow! 180 degrees turn for a plan. I never thought that we will be on our way somewhere in north. The adventure starts!

Versus mode - Tekken 6. Let's get it on!!!

the night of booze and foods

Grilled tilapia. Yummyyy!!!

Before heading home... Beach time.

The day we have arrived was one rainy day. I want to have fun and frolic at the beach unfortunately, the weather was not good enough. I know. That's why, we bought a lot of groceries for the long night. Grilled some pork chop and fish. We swam on the depths of the swimming pool on their club house. hahahaha It was dark and cold. hahaha A little scary but we need to do what we should really do, SWIM SWIM SWIM. Even though the weather was cold and a little gloomy. I remember the night we need to get back to the house, where we stayed, we walk on the creepy road while bats were flying here and there. hahaha

Before sleeping, we watched a movie, I am too sleepy to finish the movie, I fell asleep. The next day, we went to the beach, played video games, played game cards and never ending stories to shared to each other. I really had fun. I went home almost midnight. So tired but there was a smile on my face. I am looking forward to the next outing with my friends. Whooo!

Brother's Burger

One Tuesday afternoon, I'm sick. hehehe I did not went to my work for that day. Instead, I went to Brother's Burger with Him. Lunch time! Two hungry cuties went to Brother's Burger to eat juicy charbroiled burgers. OMG! Look at my order, it's huge. hahaha Santa Fe burger for me, with potato wedges and sprite on the side. It really made my stomach full. Look at his order below, it made me a little bit embarrassed. :)) Ang laki ng order ko, PG (patay-gutom much?). haha

Santa Fe Burger - My order

In adventure, birthday

We PARTY Like 2012

My birthday celebration! The original plan was GIRL's NIGHTOUT! Plans do change. This was one of the unexpected ones. I can't imagine that I can party with both of my high school and college friends at the same night. This was really one of the rare occasions. Who would thought? All of us had a blast on that night. Booze, dance floor and friends are the perfect ingredients of a FUN-BIRTHDAY-CELEBRATION! yeahhh!

Just arrived. =)

Bacardi apple and coke

Cheers! Straight up and feel the music.

Find me. hihihi

Group pictures! :)

PARTY!!!

I reserved the couch of the night. Informed them. Reminded them to bring IDs. I realized that planning an event was very exhausting but it was a success. Arrived @encore around 10pm, waited for some of my friends until we were complete. We ordered two or three Bacardi apple and 1 liter of Jose Cuervo for the whole night. It helped us to dance all night and party like a rockstar. Seeing my friends having fun is really big deal for me. At the same time, I am happy too. Those people who I imagine they won't have fun or enjoy partying at the club, were the ones I saw really having a good time. I'm surprised. It means I can invite them again to party with us! Cool right? I have now an official party friends. It will be easy to invite them.

I'm thankful for those who help me made this happen. Thank you! To my friends and love ones, I love you big time. SUPER ENJOY! Let's plan for the next party scene! woooo! I love you all.

I'm Twenty-One

the chocolate - too bad i have sore throat :|

blowing the candle

Happy Birthday to me! I have been living on this world for twenty-one years now. It seems to be easy, fun and enchanting but every life has its own problems, difficulties and struggles. I am thankful I survived. Now, I am a year older and wiser. I learned a lot from the experiences I have encountered thru out the years. I am still young; I still do need to improve on myself and on my outlook in life. I will never stop thanking God for such a wonderful life. He made me to be a stronger and independent person. He let me realize how magnificent to live with His grace and glory. Without Him I am nothing. He is a true provider. I am blessed.

My mom bought a birthday cake for me. The next day will be my day! CELEBRATION! Stay tuned on my next entry.... TO BE CONTINUED...

Wavy or Straight?

I am not scared of changing my hairstyle. I have done short to long or wavy to straight hair but one major dilemma is, "What suits me the best?". For these pass few months I am coping the hairstyle of Saab Magalona. hahaha Yes, I am a fan of her hair. Messy but in a good way. On the other hand, I am not Saab, who can carry a messy hair with confidence. That's why I am giving Saab a two thumbs up! Rock on!

This is with rocking the wavy hair. Sooner it became EPIL FAIL.

A few days ago, I have decided to straighten my hair. I went to the salon and I told them I want a Volume Rebond NOW!!! haha They have the promo, "Any length for only *insert price here*", so I save a little money on the side. As of now, I'm loving my hair. Want to see my new and improved hair?

Warning: seducing daw! :))

My DP (display picture) on facebook.

Landi pose! :)))))

So what do you think? Wavy or straight hair? hmmmm.. Feel free to give your comments! :)

Bonding Time # 01: Spending A Day with Therese

The last day of February was spend with Therese (a friend from college and my forever seatmate), the night before we were at her sister's debut. I was included in the 18th treasures. I enjoyed the party. I'm like superwoman that night, living a double life because at the same time there was an event here and there. Gaad. I'm good. I juggled them like a boss. hahaha Tere decided to stay at our house for the night. We kept on talking and catching up with our lives. We ended up talking until 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock in the morning. Talkative? Yes, we are! Never ending stories. Our energy was low and we decided to sleep. Then, continued talking from the moment we woke up. Ate breakfast, watched "EASY A", ate lunch, watched funny videos from YouTube "Rich Kid" and took photos from my web cam.

Wala pa yan ligo ligo. :)) Guess who??

It's Never Too Late for An Exchange Gift

Due to our busy schedule, we had our BFF exchange gift super late. It's two months ago since Christmas but we still have our holiday hangover that's why we still continued to give our gifts for each other.

Locker and Hand Sanitizer for Kathy.

BFF John with his "BEEP BEEP" shirt from from us (Kathy and Me).

I got a bicycle necklace and hand sanitizer.

TRIVIA: You know why I receive a bicycle necklace? Because I don't know how to ride a bike. BOO! I'm such a loser. hahaha I can only ride a bike with training wheels on it. hoho

After our dinner at Tapa King, we went to starbucks to catch up and just chill. GOOD TIMES. :)

Free Taste of Life

I woke up around 5am because I am going to jog with my two friends at The Fort. I am not used to exercise for a long period of time. Seriously, I had a hard time breathing. Geezz. I think, I'm really overweight. I felt I'm obese person running around High Street. Weak! I'm such a weakling. I need to trim those cellulite in my effin fatso body, that's why I decided to come with them to jog. I'm thankful I have someone like them, very supportive. Note to myself: Start to have healthy life and exercise more.

After the jogging event, my favorite part of this day, when we went to Mercato. It's like I've signed for the wrong program, because we ate. Is it weight gain program? haha Anyways, I have enjoyed eating. It's a passion. Especially, the free taste. Who would not resist to take a little taste of everything?

Salad? -- Yemmy! =)

Simple Pia. It taste good.

Elmo's food -- Salad and Pie

My food -- Tapa (Angus Beef) with fried egg and rice.

Yummy food! I love to eat. Besides, it's morning and breakfast time. I have a free pass to eat like a king. hohoho I enjoyed jogging, eating and catching up with my friends (Kathleen and Elmo). We should do this more often. Healthy lifestyle! =)

In ballet, family

Pasinaya '11

Pasinaya 2011 is a CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines) open house festival, where it was open for public last February 6,2011. Many talented Filipinos showcase their brilliant performance here. One of them is my sister. Damn! I'm proud of it. haha Every year or every other year the ballet school of my sister were always invited to dance ballet. Yes! she's into classical music and I am not.

the entrance to bulwagan something (sorry forgot the name of the room). hehehe

shoot me now.

It started around 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It is just a short performance from them. Compare to the other shows I have been. gad.. It was long. hahaha Thank God! We were not late. I thought we won't be able to watched their performance because of slight misunderstanding and difficulties. Then again, thanks to one of the mommies, who talked with the people handling the venue. They let us entered without any tickets. Cool right!?! =)

During the show:

the nutcracker

my sister

On our way to the parking lot:

with the ticket

look! my hand it's there. :))

After the show, we went to the mall of asia to eat dinner and to bought some stuff. Then, we went home. Well, on June my sister will have another recital on CCP. I think they haven't decided yet if its "hanzel or gretel" or "sugar plum princess". I'll upate you soon. =)
