Monthly Update

It's been awhile since I last updated. What was once a fun part of my daily routine has become harder fro me to bring myself to do regularly because I've been so busy, and by the end of the day I'm just too tired to do anything other than read in bed, listlessly watch tv, or just crash.

Updates from the last time I posted:
I have a new boyfriend! Who also happens to be my ex-boyfriend. After much thought and contemplation, we decided to be together. So far, so good. It's been a moth and a half.
Went to Camarines Sur with the Metro team for a shoot and parties for us! In this photo are Kelly, our Associate Editor Bianca, Me, Hair stylist Jerry and Make-up artist Barbi.
Copying the Joel (or Jesse) Mendez ad at the Manila airport hehe. L-R Bianca, Photographer Noelle, Me, one of my closest friends Jon who was visiting from NY, Barbi and our Senior Associate Editor Audrey.
Watched my first Kjwan gig in a REALLY long time. Since possibly before Christmas 2007.
Celebrated his birthday quietly this year. Kjwan gig Tagaytay
Celebrated one of my favorite girls' Vicky's 18th (!!!) birthday. haha. L-R Vicky, Bea, Me and Pam
The same people with the addition of Jon, Tollo and Gina. It was a quiet, early night but we managed to get tipsy ;p
Some of my favorite people to hang out with-whether it's going out to dance, drinking at my house or just being silly on a street corner-it's always fun times.
Celebrated my favorite little girl's birthday with a Dora swimming party. Thanks to global warming, her usually rainy June 7 birthday was sunny and extremely HOT.
Mom and Ninong Jon stealing candy from the children. Ha ha ha.
Fashion editorial by the dirty ice cream cart. For some reason, whenever I'm with these two, the day always ends in camwhoring.
Random nights out with party animal Jon. Here with Gina at Tabu for Soul Food.
Embassy for their Independence Day Party on *DUH* June 12. haha.
I was kinda of masungit for a few weeks in June because I quite smoking.

YES, I QUIT SMOKING!
I QUIT SMOKING!
UNBELIEVABLY CRAZY BUT TRUE.

It's been 3 weeks and 6 days. One month tomorrow! I seriously deserve a prize.

Sold my This Kid Loves Vintage clothes at the Hippie Flea Market at A.venue Makati
My daughter was running around screaming "Buy from our store. We have the bestest clothes." haha.
A few more Kjwan gigs. Only when it's near my house and/or there are chairs to sit on hehe.
Marveling at how pretty my daughter is becoming! Here at the salon after a trim.
Metrowear at Rockwell Tent. First ever with our new EIC and 50% new staff. Well done everyone! Later on, met up with Patring and Martin at Grams Diner.
Pigged out (SERIOUSLY, We were soooooo matakaw!) at The Fireplace at Hyatt Hotel and Casino. The food is sooooo good.
My absolute favorite food in the whole world-Foie Gras. It's bad for you, it makes you dizzy, Peta folks will hate me, but I don't care.
Wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil. Why oh why does truffle oil have to be so expensive? If I had my way I'd add it to everything.
Rosemary Garlic lamb chops with lamb jus. I love lamb also. I don't understand how people can not.
Rib Eye steak and potato au gratin. I told you we pigged out. I didn't even photograph Boogie's French Onion soup and for dessert we had Mango Dacquoise with Malibu ice cream. Yum.

Went to Kuala Lumpur for a press launch of their Mega Sale Carnival. Above at KL Tower and below with the Petronas towers in the background (on a cloudy day!) Shopped too much. Oh well, if you cant' smoke, you shop.

And that's all for now folks.

kjwan is pronounced KWAN hehe. Don;t ask me to explain, it's too nakakatamad to type :)

If Im going to an event I usually ask a hairstylist to fix my hair with a curling iron and i set it with hair spray, for everyday i tie my hair in a knot when its damp (with hair spray/mousse or curling spray) and blow dry it. when its time to go out I take out the knot n voila curls hehe :)

I'm a regular reader of your blog and the way you tell stories about food gives me an impression that you are kinda matakaw...how do you stay fit if I may ask?

Peewee-ananda's dora cake and cupcakes are from this cake place at fun ranch. I can't recall what it's called but it's the only one there :) It's 1200 for the cake and cupcakes are I think P40 each:)

Cynch- Um, Im not realy fit haha. I have yet to build muscle but Im too lazy to work out. I like food, I like to eat, and I don't diet. BUt when I start to feel bloated or gross, I eat less for like a week. My weight fluctuates + or - 2-3 lbs depending on how matakaw i am or not at any given week hehe.
