DRASTIC CHANGE IN APPEARANCE.

| | Comments (1)
Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration. I personally don't think it's THAT huge of a change, but I keep on getting "wtf" reactions.... So uhmm...?

My hair is jet black!

For me, this is pretty significant I suppose. The last time I had dark hair was ages ago, but even so, it wasn't jet black. My natural hair color is dark brown anyway, so it was a bit hard to digest at first...

This was what I looked like last week (trying to capture different angles here):IMG00002.jpgIMG00008 - Copy.jpgIMG000100.jpg
And now........
IMG00031.jpgI was so self-conscious at first, I wouldn't take my hat off...

Anyway, I have been soooooo busy lately. Not with school work though, surprisingly... With dance! Our performance is in two weeks, and we've been practicing like crazy. About 5 hours each practice, minimum 5~6 times a week! I've been so busy and exhausted from it that I've been sorta hermit-ing lately... Boo =( But on the bright side, I've become pretty tight with my jazz girlies <3

Hmm, that's about it. In terms of shopping... I splurged on yet another set of Skinfood products! Man I'm not even gonna hide it.... Tis is shameful advertising D: But I love this brand! Everyone should use it!

Massage gel, cleansing water, anti-wrinkle cream, eyebrow shadow, masks...

Random side story that happened a couple hours ago... So after a 5-hour dance practice, I was famished and decided to grab something at McDonalds (despite the fact that it was past midnight--shame on me!)... I walked up to order and the cashier (male) started smiling and then laughing... I was like... "What?" He shook his head and said "nothing".

I ordered, waited for my food and when he came back to give me change... I asked him "Why were you laughing earlier?". He smiled again and said, "Because you're pretty". O__O... I was like "Haaaaaaaaaaaa" and then walked away. I was happy though (:

Er... Peace out? My hands look so plain without polish :(

Puta ang ina, khob-kun-ka!

| | Comments (1)
(Puta ang ina = Tagalog for 'fuck', khob-kun-ka = Thai for 'thank you'.) Combined, it's 'Fuck, thanks!' Sadly, these are the only two phrases I learned during my 10-day vacation in Thailand and the Philppines.

I'm so lazy to update. Little to no motivation to write this entry, save for maybe my own personal amusement 10 years down the road (FYI: I still read my high school blogs and laugh at my pathetic obsession with Japanese idols back in the day).

The past 1~2 weeks have been quite eventful; for brevity I'll make this more of a photoblog and talk about the main highlights of my trip!
