Nasaan ka?

"Nasaan ka?" - In translation: "Where are you?"

A song that my friend and officemate created. He asked me if I want to make an animation for one of his songs and this is the song that I picked. It's going to take a long while before I ever get this video done since I have so little time to spare and the fact that my computer at home isn't really build for heavy animation/video production.

Ever since I learned about cosmetics and had my worse experience on using them, I swore to myself that I will never ever put one on.

When I was a child, around fourth grade, I had a teacher who put make up on us because we had a dance number in one of the school's holiday event. I think it was the world's youth day. My teacher used the same blush ons, brush, lipsticks and what else you may call them. At the end of the day, my face was itchy. When I got home, I rushed to my parents' room and the light was dim as they were watching some TV show. My dad saw the make up and it was horrible. That was the first time I experienced it and that was the day that I decided that I will never ever wear one.

Years passed and the only things that I put on are perfumes and a lip gloss or more like those lipsticks that lessens the breaks on your lips. I am not the type who would wear a make up every day and I'm certainly not at putting them on. Since, I've been working in corporate companies, sometimes it is a necessity to wear one. Still, with my kind of job description it is very unlikely that I will be pushed to wear make ups (and I'm glad about it, too).

True enough that time changes people and I lifted my promise of not wearing make ups. I only wear them when there is an occasion. There was a time that I wanted to look pretty because I'll be seeing my boyfriend and I asked my officemate to help me out on that area. I could see my friends now saying, "Yes! Diwa is finally a girl!" (yeah, right.. not wearing make up doesn't really label one as a tom-boy.). Within these past few weeks, I've been trying to dress up right and be concern on the accessories that I wear and match my clothes to boot.

There were times that I would walk pass a small booth in a mall where there were free samples of make-ups and skin care tips. I would sometimes try them out if I am with my cousin who would also do the same. I would never have the courage to step in all by myself. One thing that concerns me with those kind of events is that I never get satisfied with how they put make up on me because most of the time it doesn't look right and sometimes they put too much make-up.

Make Over

I made a joke after the make over session that maybe I should be a model. haha, riiight. I don't see more of myself wearing make-ups like these even if I already seen the result of it. That's one thing that I know about myself. It'll just be on special occasions

The weekend - a time where I usually stay in bed sleeping. Since, I only work from Mon-Friday. Lately, I want to spend my weekends not thinking about work or not thinking at all. I've been working since 1999 and from between those years all I did was work and work. Work on the day time and an online freelancer web designer/developer at night.

I believe this is why I can't stay long in a relationship, I've thought about my career too much to live a full life. Now that I am already twenty-seven, I don't know if I will ever find that one who would truly understand my nature. Friday night, I had a meeting with some colleagues at Shangri-la plaze, Mandaluyong. After the meeting, we all went to hobby-stop (a 24/7 internet/lan cafe) somewhere along Katipunan. I would usually won't come along since I hate traveling home alone and it's too far from my place. Luckily, I was going home to my parents' place in Balintawak, QC. So the travel is less than usual.

Arriving at the place, around 11:45pm, to be exact, we played 4on4 D.O.T.A. until three in the morning. The game was in random and it was kind of hard to play the game when you're partied with players who aren't good at it and aren't a team player. Most of the time, I'd get whacked but 3. I would manage to survive 2 and escape. I can't say that I'm good at the game... heck I've only started playing DOTA two weeks ago.

I went home, taking a taxi ride that reached around P120 fare. As my brother greeted me at the door, he was frantic about the wedding of our cousin that's going to take place on that day (Saturday). I told him not to worry since, our parents will probably wake us up in the morning.

I went to sleep at 4:45am and woke up at exactly 11am, since I heard my sister-in-law passed by my room. It wasn't really my room but the room of her son when he gets older. The moment I awoke, I went straight to the kitchen to see my mother already at the table while the maids fix up the plate for lunch. I woke my brother who was sleeping at the sofa and then asked what time was the wedding going to start. It was at 3pm. So no fuss.

At the St. Peter's church somewhere in Manila, we arrived a hour early since my dad didn't know that it will started at 4pm since in the invitation it was on 3pm. Reason is that, most of the people come in late but not for me or my dad. We always come early on such an occasion. While waiting, my cousins who are already parents asked me the dreaded question of "when will I get married?"

The answer in my head was blank, simple enough to say nothing because I've been single for almost two years. I just smiled and told them that it's too hard to find someone. One of them said that I was wrong, he said that "it's easy to find someone but it's hard to choose." From that comment, I paused and then nod. I smiled and agreed. I guess, there are a lot of them out there if I did give them a chance. But I often scare them away.

Yes, it's my birthday today... at exactly 2:30pm of November 29, I'll be twenty seven. All I could say that even if I really don't like celebrating my birthday, I'm actually happy.

Last night, my friend picked me up at the office since he wanted to help me complete my "Starbucks Planner Quest" as a birthday gift. I really want to have that planner since it's better than last year's also that they do this charity thing when you complete the stickers.

Before that, we went to watch "Happy Feet". It was fun to watch, I never expected it to be as such or rather, I didn't expect anything at all. I don't usually expect much from movies from reviews since everyone has their own opinion on things. When I watch a movie, I want to enjoy every bit of it.
After the movie, we went to get coffee at starbucks and I'm so happy to have the planner. We waited until 12 midnight and I waited to see who's going to greet me first (heh, aside from my friend who's already there with me). I checked my cellphone and it was my favorite cousin. :) A few minutes later, my friend and I went back to the car so he could drop me off.

I went to my room and found a bunch of gifts on my bed and a big greeting card (with a birthday music thingie when you open it) from my brother. The gifts were bunch of shirts, a Ragnarok hardbound notebook, a cute leather wallet, a USB led light and an iPod nano Crystal case. I hadn't had the chance to buy myself a case for my nano and it was just great.

When I got online, some of my friends over YM greet of my friends greeted me. One of them asked me if I want to play DOTA with him (heh). A one on one game; and I owned! First blood! Ownage! Killing Spree! Godlike! lol! I killed him around fifteen times. To think that I'm still one week new one playing that game.

Anyway, my birthday isn't over yet. ^_^ I hope that this day will be good to me. (will update this before the day ends)... have to sleep now. heehee

I know I haven't been getting in touch of my closest friends, I'm still alive. I can't tell you guys much here in my blog, there are stuff that is too personal to even thinking in public.

I've got DSL now at home... and I'm bursting with joy. Releasing all of my frustration and surf the net and anything that I could download. Of course, I can play RF more than I should. haha

I'll be going to my parents later on since my mom wanted to celebrate my brother's birthday, mine and my dad's at the same time. Talk about saving money.
