Vanity Survey
ivee
Cellphone:
Brand - Nokia
Model - 3230
Network - Sun Cellular
Current call alert tone - Santeria by Sublime
Current message alert tone - Beep by Pussycat Dolls
Have you assigned tones for anyone in your phonebook? -Yup
Which tone for whom? - Grow old with you by Adam Sandler for Paul
Favorite ringtone/s -No rain by Blind Melon, Everafter by Bonnie Bailey, Gold digger by Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx, Kill Bill whistle, Bagsakan by Parokya ni Edgar (Intro)
Who's on your speed dial? - Paul, mom, Michee
Wallpaper/theme design - customized as of the moment but I have Hed Kandi, Hello Kitty and other girly themes.
Installed/downloaded games - Tomb Raider, Spongebob Bowling, 1, 000 words, Prince of Persia
Do you have a trinket? -yep
In what design? -a pink and white dolphin named Dolly
Crystal or rubber casing? -Neither. I just put it in a nice Burberry-inspired cellphone holder
The phone brand and model that you are currently lusting over - SE K610i.
Bag:
Shoulder, hand, clutch, sling or body bag? - all of the above! Well, except for the body bag. I'm not comfortable using one of those.
Big and roomy or small and cute bag? - definitely BIG and ROOMY! I have lotsa stuff to put in it
Bag you are currently using - the one I bought from Naga (big and very roomy, hehe)
Leather, fabric, or native materials? - Whatever as long as I like the style and all my things fit in it
Does your bag have to match your outfit? - it is part of the outfit so yes, as much as possible it should match what I'm wearing and the occasion.
Any particular brand of bag? - Brands don't matter to me. It's the style and the intensity of my admiration for the bag (or any other article, for that matter) that counts. Kahit ukay pa yan as long as I really, REALLY like it na tipong hindi ako makakatulog pag hindi ko nabili, go ako! Hehe.
Birkin or Kelly bag? - Neither. Too expensive! I'd rather buy a car or a home theater system.
Your bag is not complete without…cellphone, wallet, hand sanitizer or alcohol, comb, Blistex lip balm and a pretty lipstick.
Bling:
The most important piece/s of jewelry for you - earrings and adjustable rings. I'm not very comfortable wearing a necklace (but I do wear one sometimes) and my wrists are too thin (and I mean too thin) for bracelets, much more bangles, so I'm a sucker for earrings and cameo or chunky rings.
Have you ever had a part of your body pierced? - believe it or not, yes.
Which part? - my right ear when I was in first year high school. I wanted to be hip then. My mom got furious nung nakita nya so tinanggal ko agad. It lasted for a day lang, hehe.
Tatoo? - no way.
Silver or gold? - silver
Hoops, danglings or studs? - Hoops and danglings

Movies Galore...
ivee
...as in! Last Friday I met up with Katts, Minda and Sandz to watch Just My Luck at Greenbelt 3. We were choosing between that and The Break Up (or Sukob, hehe) and Lindsay won over Jen because of the movie's earlier showing time. After the movie we met up with some of Sandz's high school friends and Paul picked me up much later. He had work 'til 10.
It's been a while since we last saw each other and I was glad that we were all available that night. It was actually my idea to watch a movie. Biglaan lang. I texted them that morning and they all agreed! Kaya naniniwala ako talaga na mas natutuloy kapag hindi planado, hehe...
Katts, Minda, me and Sandra @ Seattle's Best in Greenbelt 3
Then today, make that yesterday (dahil Sunday na pala), I watched The Devil Wears Prada. Not really disappointing even if only about 40% of the film was really based on the book because the movie made more sense than the book (that's only my opinion, of course). Basta, for me parang mas okay yung nangyari sa movie pero sobrang layo sa nangyari sa book.
Anyway, my boss is a big fan of Meryl Streep pala. We were proofreading an article about her and TDWP and my boss mentioned that she wanted to see the movie. So I volunteered to lend her my DVD. But first, I gave her a copy of the ebook, so buking na rin na nagbabasa ako pag walang magawa, hehe. 'di naman nagalit, buti na lang!
I also got to watch Click (on dvd). What a tear-jerker! I've always loved Adam Sandler films and this one was, well one of the most heart-warming. It teaches the importance of spending time with your family and making them your top priority. Yeah, FAMILY ALWAYS COMES FIRST.
Then after almost crying (thank God I did not), I popped in the Ice Age 2: The Melt Down dvd. A few laughs naman para masaya. 'di ba? hehe. Paul and I had a great time watching dvds. We really needed some quality time after that super busy week...
Finally! a time to bond with my baby 
I really wanna watch The Break Up. I'll see if I can plan something tomorrow, I mean later..gotta get some zzzz... now, i look so haggard already!

Better days...
ivee
...when will you come? I need you badly now...I am patiently waiting.
I thought that it was all over, that I can finally relax, move on and start repairing my total-wrecked self. But I was wrong, sooo wrong. The worst is yet to come.
But I am ready because seriously, I have to be. After all, it was entirely my fault. I must face the consequences...
Not seeing Paul is not helping. I really need to spend more time with him...and I mean MORE. We hardly see each other lately and I-MISS-HIM-SO-MUCH!!!
Better days...please come soon.

I was finally able to meet up with my long lost college friends last Sunday. It was Maui's birthday so we had a little get together at her house. Grabe, ang laki na (at ang likot) ng inaanak namin! I really had fun, pero medyo bitin so guys, please lang ulitin natin ito at sana sa susunod kumpleto na tayo! Here are some pics...
Finally, nakita ko rin 'tong mga 'to!(Candice, Jaja, Anj and me)
my pasaway but still adorable inaanak Andrei!
Mommy Maui and Andrei
Sobrang decisive moment ito! hehe..dahil sobrang likot ni Andrei 
I miss blogging, but I'm still in that ang-tanga-tanga-ko mood so that's all for now.

Things that are keeping me sane
ivee
1. Paul - he never gives up on me. kahit anong cranky ko, moody at bratty, nandyan parin sya at iniintindi ako. Tinatawanan nya lang ang mga kabaliwan ko ang that really helps, thanks baby!
2. McDonald's McShaker Fries - naman! Adik talaga ako sa patatas-fries, potato chips, mashed potato, baked potato--at favorite ko talaga ang sour cream flavor! Kaya maligayang maligaya ako dahil naisip ng McDo ang McShaker Fries! Weird fact about me: Inuulam ko ang sour cream-flavored fries sa kanin, hehe..
3. Meeting up with friends (Sandz, Katts and Minda, Jaja, Anj, Candice and Maui) - kahit sandali lang, at least I was able to catch up with them. Sana nga madalas naman at ma-meet ko na rin yung ibang matagal ko nang hindi nakikita a.k.a. my high school friends!
4. My new big and very roomy bag - Ang laki. As in kasya lahat kaya love na love ko 'tong bag na 'to. Medyo mabigat nga lang, pero carry pa.
5. My music (in my shuffle) - Tonic, PCD, Kanye West, local band hits, revivals, alternatives, acoustic, even the Beatles!
6. The Gilmore Girls - naaawa ako kay Lorelai while at the same time natatawa at natutuwa parin ako sa kanilang mag-ina. Looking forward to her wedding with Luke…kung matutuloy. (well, sana matuloy. I like them together, kilig!)
7. Friendster (some stalking, hehe!) - I'd like to be updated on my friends' lives.
8. Market! Market! (and Glorietta) - Therapy ito, isang nakakapagod at magastos na therapy…
9. "Ang payat mo" comments (minus the "mas bagay sa'yo ang medyo chubby" remarks) - need I say more?
10. Tabulas - what better way to release stress than blurt it out here…I looove Tabulas!

Another night out
ivee
Met up with my high school friends last night, at last! I really missed them. We had dinner at Kamayan in Megamall and then hang out at the Elbow Room in Metrowalk afterwards. Some weren't able to come though, sayang. We planned (well, sort of) another get-together and hopefully lahat na makasama.
As usual, picture-picture, hehe...
me, Jen, nurse Leida and Mirla

I really had a great time, pero sana talaga next time mas marami ang sumama...looking forward to seeing you guys again very soon!
*Yeah, it's a new do again. I decided to have bangs para maiba naman. Still part of my "re-invent Ivee" project. I'd like to thank Katts for accompanying me to the salon. Super salamat tita Katts! hehe..hope to hang with you and Sandz and Minda again soon.
Long weekend and it's officially the start of birthday season again for me. I mean, sunod-sunod nanaman ang mga dapat kong regaluhan! Argh! I still have no idea what ti give them for their birthdays. And with my near-empty bank account, good luck na lang talaga sa'kin, baka song and dance number nalang ibigay ko sa kanila, haha!
