i bought a zoo!

my zoo

my friend thea is here so i've been touring her around. yesterday we met in Lucky Plaza and walked to ION where we munched on satays. On our way out to the taxi stand, we chanced upon forever 21 and so we went. i liked one long black dress but thea in all her nonchalance glory said its "pangit" so i decided against buying. 

and then i saw this charming bracelet. 

i didnt want to buy as i thought this is not something i can wear for a long time, but then i saw the zebra, and the giraffe, and the elephant and the lion - a zoo all of my own on my wrist!  and this is my first ever charm bracelet. 

ive always wanted to have one, but i kind of think they were too girly for me, plus i never really liked those popular ones from pandora, for whatever reason i feel that the charms should be free and dangling instead of be around the chain. Plus these are charms which must signify important events in one's life - i feel they should be something you receive as gifts so as a matter of principle i am not buying, even though i am bleeding of envy everytime my colleague evon wears her swarovski charms, or that i actually am  now friends with the salesperson of agatha in takashimaya because i look at the agatha charms  every.single.time i pass by.

the constricting pandora bracelet

its been three years

lately i kind of want to have a blog, and go back to selling stuff again online. for a variety of reasons i guess but mostly because  i have fully adjusted to sg i think, and the work that i do. it took me three years and a lot of hardwork and help from tons of people, but im fine now - and actually happy. 

i guess the times when i can actually do blog entries religiously are those times when i'm fine, as in i know what i want, i know what i'll do to get what i want. so i can relax and do other things that i really love like writing and reading biographies and selling stuff again. 

let us see. 

fashion show

ayoko ng isipin kung gaano kalayo ang nilakad namin ni rosela today. parang mula binangonan yata hanggang pasig e. haha. anyway, walang saysay ang mga location shooting namin na chinatown at espalande sapagkat either walang battery or hindi matimpla ang kulay. what the heck. nagfashion show ako sa bahay ni susette. naexcite ako at nakalimutan ko ang EP issues ko. haha. :)

asian civilization museum

itong, acm, matagal ko na tong tinatarget puntahan. noong unang punta ko pa lang sa sg, gusto ko nang puntahan, except ang stressful nung directions sa gothere. so di bale na lang. and then lo and behold, i saw it last saturday noong una akong magjogging by the river. siyempre naexcite ako. so i researched, at nalaman ko na discounted ang tickets pag friday. from 10 sgd, 4 sgd na lang. o di ba winner. may pambili ako ng souvenir na kuti kuti. basta some games from sumatra. maliliit na animals, maraming fish akong nakita. go, for 2.50 sgd a bag, i bought 2. pinoy yung nagbenta sa kin, na natatamad na kasi 9 pm na ayaw pa umalis ng mga tao. haha.

so anyway, since tumila ang ulan, go ako to where the river calls me, and how can i resist naman acm with the discounted tickets? so hindi muna ako nakipagkita kay merlion my good friend today. hanggang acm lang ang path ko. haha.



dahil uso ngayon ang mga intellectual property issues, hindi sa kin ang pictures, nagoogle ko lang. kasi nga di ba, bakit ako magdadala ng camera habang nagjojogging. rolling eyes. that done, on with the kwento.

ok naman ang acm, hindi masyadong scary saka interactive. nagsulat ako ng arabic, gumawa ng puzzles, nakinig sa mga my name is china stories, naglaro ng indian computer games, saka nanood kung pano gumawa ng blue and white vases from vietnam. ang cool. naexcite ako sobra. haha.

pero naisip ko, wala akong nakitang philippines sa southeast asia. more on the earlier era yung nandun, mga sumatra, java, et al. isip ko, the whole southeast asia, parang pwedeng philippines e. kasi yung mga boats, yung mga damit, yung mga ornaments, parang meron nun dito. melting pot ang philippines no, narealize ko. saka yung mga muslim muslim dun covering west asia, duh, meron din nun sa philipines, yung mga mosque and the garments.

i think i liked the west asia and the south asia bit the best. kasi ang ganda ng mga woodworks. hello india and arabia. how can you not like. although ok din ang china. hindi ko makalimutan, when you enter that gallery, may nakalagay, my name is china. ang cool! :)

i also loved this window sa south asia gallery. parang ang ganda if your windows are like this, in contrast sa white walls. wow.

kawaii in sg

i just cant stop myself.

late post: daniella's bday

this was last sunday, 7th birthday ni daniella sa mcdonald's khatib. sama sama dun lahat ng tao. haha. nasstress yung officemates ni ate otek, bakit daw ang dami naming mgakakamag-anak. parang sa bilibiran lang. kulang na lang si tito boy, the barangay captain. haha. mommy, ayaw yata ni daniella dun sa green na dress na bigay mo, its soo itchy daw. haha. nastress si tita belle. rozela, give me copies of the pictures from your magandang camera.

late post: sona 2010

this was last monday, sa sona ni noynoy. excited ako. haha. closet noynoy kami e. nung election, may yellow ribbon kami sa loob ng kotse. nahuli ni andrea. haha. pero even though in my heart gusto ko si noynoy, si gibo pa rin ang binoto ko. haha. loyal ako. saka hindi ko makalimutan yung " kun sa inyo na huna-huna" speech niya.

but anyway, dahil walang tfc si suzette, nakipag-appointment talaga ako kay tita baby na manood ng noynoy sa kanila since meron silang kapuso channel. haha. she wants eat bulaga e, more than tfc kaya kapuso siya. so there, pumunta ako dun and watched noynoy, in all my yellow shirt glory.



at kagaya ng nasabi ko sa facebook, the whole time i was listening to his "we can dream again" speech, ang isyu ko lang, my god, he looks a lot better. i loved his haircut, and his barong. actually, cute na siya. hahha. looks younger than his age.

anyway, masarap ang food ni tita baby for me. sinigang na hipon and of course, adobo. naalala ko si diego, i ate 8 hipons yata. haha. and of course after that, rashes galore na naman ako. ang lansa ng hipon, meron pa kong patis. haha. pero ok naman. the hipons were worth it. and the kids, as usual, super fun. super gusto nila ang padala ni mommy, suot na ni meimei at don. haha. :)
