You are The Wheel of Fortune



Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success



The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

thanks

dream on



m asked me again "when are you taking pictures again?"
very good question, love.
he knew about my love for the old school photography and him, being a child of one great artist, i think he would want me not to lose my passion for it.
i remember spending hours and hours inside the darkroom, never mind it being haunted and stinking like vinegar... i just love it there.
i was talking to one of my old friends asking her about the old school cameras and i told her that i miss taking pictures and i want to start doing it again.
she told me to pursue my passion and she would support me with it.
yes, i'll start working on my album. maybe make a coffeetable book. hee.
special thanks to
gwyneth and kitty for talking me into dreaming again. now all i have to do is get my hand on this:


there goes my plans to save money this year. O_o

random conversations

hmm, its 840am on a gloomy saturday, manila is threatened by Queenie, i'm all alone in the creative dept and i'm still trying to jumpstart my brains so i could start working on the job orders i've been trying so hard to ignore.
i REALLY should start working on it -- beat the deathline or its my head.
gah.
will just write for a while about some cute/funny/err "conversations" i had over the weird week.

• one: a very nice guy asked me if i prefer to date girls -- he saw my coffee dates with kitty and tabs all over my multiply site. it was a surprise for me that he thought i "like" girls better than the boys. well s, i love these girls like my sister. i still prefer the male gender. im sure they would also agree. :)

• two: another nice guy asked me if i have boyfriend. i told him "yes, didnt i tell you about it before?" he answered "just checking." hee. no changes, dear. :) you flatter me.

• three: backgorund story -- i asked m to help me with a monicker for a basketball team. we had this internal office contest, for us to come up with a monicker for them and there's a 5k prize. i thought i could use the money for christmas shopping so i had to use my arsenal to crank up my chances to bag the cash.
and since i am the designer for the newsletter feat. the said contest, i get the inside info before the rest. and i read the winning monicker. its not mine -- its the entry of 3rd highest paid person here in the office -- thats office politics for you.-- i was really pissed i had to sms m about it.

me: hi kulit. you remember the monicker i asked you to help me with? you know what won? MONEYMEN! grr!!
m: kadiri. hehehe. love you.

moneymen -- my mental picture -- money bills with feet walking around like chickens with its head cut off. or mga mukhang pera. very weird.

moving on, its a saturday and im catching the cinemanila later, its bound to improve.
and i really have to start working. heheheh! ^_^

and now what

i really dont want to rant on mondays -- beacuse i know it will wreck my week, but heck, i cant contain it much longer.
it's starting to be a gahd-awful week, i wish i could rewind it to last sat where i went on a fieldtrip with m and to yesterday where everything is just fine -- wherein i watched EXILED with 2 great men -- lucky me! hehehe -- and i ended it with ice cream.
i cant take it when some AE i know is trying real hard to be creative -- no, im not saying im the most creative person in the world and ae's are the devil's joke to us, one of my greatest friend is one -- this is just her.
im trying hard to ignore her but ignoring her is like trying to ignore a third eye that suddenly popped on your forehead, you just cant.
i hope that the week would improve.
GOD HELP ME.

what it is!!!

the Lord knows how much i was looking forward to last saturday. first, i got m this cool shirt -- a supposed to be christmas gift, but i think he deserves it, working real hard lately so i'll give it to him as a surprise gift (i sms'd him that i have a surprise for him) and secondly, i'm curious about The Prestige and of course, im looking forward to spending time with him.

after watching the movie and pizza dinner he went out for a smoke, then
he said casually "so, asan na yung surprise ko?"
i laughed. i thought he forgot about it already.
"wala na."
"wala na? bakit?"
"wala na kase ayaw mo ako bili ng ice cream"
he laughed hard.
"wala na... i have an idea what it is."
"huu! sige nga. tell me what it is..."
oppp.
blooper talaga.
i should've said "what is it"
nyek.
major blooper.
but its okay, it made m laughed so hard saying "hahahaha! mali ata yun ah!"
sira talaga yun.
but its okay. i love him and he got me a tall glass of starwberry shortcake ice cream. ^_^

moving on.

should you watch The Prestige? hell yes! 3 words for the girls: hugh. jackman. topless.
PERFECT.

next week i hope we get to go to cubao

more blood and gore

became a Frank Miller fan after seeing the gore-ish but great movie SIN CITY.
i saw this while waiting for the screening of The Prestige. i thought first that this is a movie for the PS2 game "God of War" (equally bloody!).
after seeing the trailer, i had to chalk this one for the "MUST SEE" films. wee! :)

evil grin

i was looking forward to bidding this day adieu and have my one-for-the-road with ann. 'twas a lousy day, thanks to an account executive who's an art director wannabe. gad.
im losing hope when i had an interesting conversation with tabs, (evil grin)and i saw THE perfect gift to m!
i wanted to kick myself for not thinking about it until now. wee! excited. hopefully i'd get my hands on it soon.
cross your finger all of you!

fix me

a song that grew on me. i just love it.

what's on your mind?

i should be taking a stab at the fast accumulating job orders but im in a temporary "artist block". so i guess the job orders should get used to getting stared at by me some more -- well, until i get over this block.

weekend's great - watched the banquet (will try to write a review) & spent some quality time with m -- something i really need. talked to him with a future plan, about work, particularly. kitty knows about this and she thinks i should go for it.
hmm.
yes, i think this is more like a 60-40 thing. office politics are really getting out of hand and i have no intentions of getting myself involved.
so there.
maybe i need a CHANGE of scenery.

on a lighter note, im drooling over this jeans. akk. it costs too much. i should forget about it.
heheheh.
lets hope for a better week.

I NEED A CAFFEINE FIX, badly.

breakfast?


i was in great awe when i saw her in THE PROFESSIONAL. i cant believe that was her. hee. great actress that is more than just a pretty face. i want to pull off her costume: little black dress and pearls. perfect.

sweet surprise

i was swamped with work when kitty sent me this message:

kitty: i was with ur boyfriend last night. may meeting sila ni vince.
kitty: i stole lots of shots using my phone for you.
kitty: and told him to take u out on an out of town vacation. he said pag may leaves ka na daw coz right now u cant afford it (figuratively ha) coz ur jsut new in the office.
kitty: i'll send u the shots tru mail oncem y mms is activated.
kitty: :)


hahahah! it was su-weet of her to do that. i was jealous when i heard about her trip to baguio with vince. well, she's the only one i know who can push m around. hehehe.
thanks, kitty.
congratulations to you and vince. ^_^

all hail to the new zelda!

m was Raving about this game, OKAMI, when i saw him last sat. i cant shut him up! hehehehhehe! i was skeptical until he showed it to me... and it was soo good. so good i warned him to wait till im around before he finishes the game. hehehehh! love it!

watch FLYBOYS! good movie! hee! ^_^

from me to you

maybe its because of the perfect nookie weather or maybe i cant wait to see him again. or maybe it's because of morrie (i just finished tuesdays with morrie)
so i sent him this, while waiting for the storm to calm down...

"if i had my way,
i would've asked you to marry me ages ago.
i wonder what you're answer will be...
goodnight, my love.
i miss you. i love you more."

looking forward to depart


again, m waved a dvd in my face while i was reading a chick-lit. he was frowning at the book like its something disgusting -- no, not really the book, i think its because my attention is elsewhere and not to him.
"let's just watch this, kulit." he said.
"and why would i want to watch that -- instik na naman e" suppressing a grin.
"because i want to. it's really good... and we will watch the english adaptation of this, which is THE DEPARTED"
hehehe.
such a baby.
and true enough, its so good. i just cant stop talking about it.
i can't wait for THE DEPARTED (showing october 4), a powerhouse cast and a great plot. whoo.
love it.
mark wahlberg grows on me -- i remember a friend telling me: gusto ko yung lalakeng mukhang babastusin ako sa kuarto. hehehe. -- amen. look who i ended up with. hee.
