HOLEY CRAP IT'S TOMORROOOOOOOOOOW!
REBEKAH'S DEBUSPEDIDA!

Not too obvious I'm excited, eh? :)))) But I'm also a bit sad since it is still a despedida after all. :( Bekah's leaving for the States and I miss her already!

And since I feel like I'm in a storytelling mood, let me tell you a story..

..about how I got my dress. :))
_____________________________________________

Monday night last week (17th Aug), I went online on Yahoo Messenger, nervous on how and where I would buy a dress for Bekah's debut. I didn't exactly know what to pick since it's a vintage-themed party.. And I have no idea how to do vintage. O_O

Luckily my friend Allie was online (as usual :D), so I decided to ask her.

Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:29:34 PM): what time are you free tomorrow? :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:29:42 PM): Morning?
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:29:48 PM): afternoon :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:29:49 PM): Or 4:30
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:30:19 PM): what time will you be dismissed?
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:30:31 PM): 4:30
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:31:57 PM): do you think you can go to town?
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:32:04 PM): I suppose so
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:32:59 PM): oh, what's your definition of "vintage"? :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:35:10 PM): Hmmm
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:35:42 PM): Vintage could mean classic
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:35:58 PM): oooh
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:08 PM): that's the theme of my friend's debut, i need to find a dress..
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:14 PM): and i'd love it if you help me! :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:33 PM): I think you're a little bit of a Marilyn Monroe
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:44 PM): So you could use her as an inspiration
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:51 PM): ooh!
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:51 PM): And I'd love to help you
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:37:11 PM): Yeah
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:37:30 PM): thank you! >:D<>I think you're a little bit of a Marilyn Monroe.

MEEEEEE? A classic screen siren, a bombshell? Really now. (-_-)

The next day, we did go to Alabang Town Center. We decided to go check out Get Laud because they have some pretty nice dresses for under Php1000. Good, since I only had like Php700 on hand. GAH. D:

But suddenly Allie saw this awesome red dress in the store's display.. A ravishing multi-way dress in a shade of deep red.. I was dumbstruck. It. Was. Beautiful.

But then.. Would it suit me?

I tried it on (with a little help from the saleslady since the fabric was so long.. After all, it's a multi-way dress so the long strips of fabric are there to twist and tie around as you please :D) Allie was also in the changing room with me (quite a tight squeeze, but heck, she's my best friend :p) and when the lady was done fixing the dress..

Oh.
My.
Goodness.

It was absolutely GORGEOUS. Allie even said so! (I trust her every word, really.)
And so I bought the lovely red dress. Php650 isn't too bad, actually!

I tried it on again as soon as I got home, and I showed it to my older sister. She liked it :)
I also showed it to my parents a few days after, they like it too :)

Last Sunday my dad and I bought these awesome black and red shoes from VNC.
Monday I bought some makeup and worked it along with my existing makeup at home to attempt to recreate Marilny Monroe's nude eyes and fire engine red lip.

NO I AM NOT EXCITED :))))))))))

Oh, and I tried this quiz on Facebook, and look what it says..


'Til next time.
♥

EXCITED :D

Forgive me for not updating often. Somehow my mind is in such a muddle that I don't know what to talk or blog about! Although things are going better than before, thank you very much.. :)

There are 2 things that I am excited for:

1. Rebekah's debuspedida [29th August] - You read that right! It's a debut + despedida since she's leaving for the States. :( It's vintage themed.. and I had no idea how to do that. :| I asked Bekah what her definition of vintage is, and she says to "think Broadway, mafia, or Public Enemies." But I quite like what one of my best friends Toni said:
   
   I think you're a little bit of a Marilyn Monroe.
   
   
   
2. BigBang Philippines' (BBPH) 4th Gathering! [20th September] - I have to have to HAVE TO go to this! I really want to meet my fellow BigBang fanatics! Excited excited EXCITEDDDDDDD :D Thing is, it's all the way in PASIG CITY. Noooooooooooo D: And I have to save up for the ticket, so good luck on that.
   

'Til whenever.

A rude awakening. Or not. :P

OHMYGAWD I'M GOING TO THAILAND ON FRIDAY!!!!
And I'm not excited. Not excited at all.

I'M VERY EXCITED!!!! :D

'Til whenever.

Thailand at 18! ♥

The title refers to ME! :D

I'll be going to Thailand to celebrate my 18th birthday, and I can't wait! July seems so far away but it's only less than 2 months before the big trip! :) It was only supposed to be my dad, best friend Cid, and myself, but now my mom and little sister are coming too. I don't actually want my little sister to come, she's a bother and a nuisance, seriously! It's my birthday so I should pick who should come, but it's my dad who's paying so there. Sh!t. Oh well. I'm planning to explore with Cid on our own around the city, haha. Or at least shopping ;)

I've been looking at some travel sites and based on that, I'd love to visit Wat Phra Keo, the complex within the Grand Palace (pictured above) is located! I'm interested to see the Emerald Buddha! Speaking of Buddha, I'd love to go to Wat Traimit and see the 3-meter tall Golden Buddha, made of 5 -and a half tons of gold! If I'm lucky I could even put some gold leaf on the statue! :D

I'd like to visit Chulalongkorn University (Pailin goes here :p) and perhaps look around and see what it's like.

I'd also want to visit Assumption University, because that's where CHANON studies! :D So much for motivation, eh? ;)

And of course why would I miss out on Siam Square! Parts of my favorite Thai movie, Love of Siam was filmed there, and I'd love to have pictures there and pretend that delusional Pitch and delusional Non were waiting for me there! :D

To shop for clothes (wheeeeeeeee~) I'd probably go to the Platinum Fashion Mall. I heard it's Divisoria prices in an airconditioned shopping mall, OHMYGAWD! :D And you get things for cheaper when you buy them in quantity, like 3 pieces of more! OHMYGAAAAAAAWD are you drooling yet? =P~~

I don't really know what else to expect, but I'm excited for the unexpecteed (hopefully good things :D)! :)

Someday the three of us will go there together! :)

ROCKO. ♥

Left the house at 7am for Tagaytay to get our new Rottweiler puppy, ROCKO! :]

I picked him myself AND named him! ♥

Thanks again, Tito Dave!
Steak for breakfast, FTW! :D

Also got another pup to send to my relatives in Dumaguete.

Rocko and Adit (the other puppy :D) are now sleeping in their cage/pen that my dad ordered made. Adit doesn't really like staying in the cage, good thing he's asleep now.. I could hear him crying awhile ago. :"(

My little nephew even says that the puppies are like my babies. :D
PSHAAAAAAAAAAAAW. :D

Rocko is actually quite gentle, and even quiet! But when some people passed the gate awhile ago, he barked! Awwwww. Momma's proud! :P

So here are some pictures of the pups. :)






























Aren't they cute? :> They're my lil' babiiiiiiiiiiiiiies.
Okay. NOT SO LITTLE. :P

They're around 5 kilos each, if I'm not mistaken. O_O
I wanna see my Rocko grow. :)

'Til tomorrow.
♥

Excited much? :]

I looked up online on how to make a paper crane.
It's my thank-you token for my "date" tomorrow to the Southridge event.. :)

I made one big white one, just to see if I could do it.
And it was successful. :)
I made a little white one, and then, a little red one.

The little red one is my token for him.. :)

I'm super stoked for tomorrow! I don't really know what to expect.. But I do hope that all goes well.
I let him go once, when he said that he only wanted to be friends..
But somehow he found his way back into my life.
And I don't exactly plan on letting him go.ü

He's the Chuck Bass to my Blair Waldorf. :]
*He actually kind of looks like him, to be honest. :D


'Til tomorrow.
