i am, in fact, alive.

1. clothes shop

zara and topshop are some of my faves, plus a couple more local brands. and of course nothing beats them good ol’ thrift shops.

2. furniture shop

sadly i have no opinion on this, as i haven’t bought any furniture for myself. but we usually just browse whatever furniture stores are in the malls…

3. sweets

anything made of dark chocolate (which is ironic, considering this is my favorite ‘sweet’), cotton candy, and red velvet anything – especially cupcakes. yum-o.

4. city

quezon city, as it is where i have lived all my life. i also adore nyc, even though i’ve never been there. it probabaly explains why a huge chunk of my favorite movies and tv shows are new york-based.

5. drink

watermelon shake, piña colada, vanilla milkshake. slurp, slurp, slurp!

6. music

i’m actually not very picky with music choices. these are some of the bands i listen to on a regular basis, but really, i can stand most other genres.

7. TV show

if i were to list ALL my favorite TV shows… well, you’d be bored to tears. so here’s a handful of them instead. friends, house, gossip girl and how i met your mother.

8. film

again, i’m not particularly picky with movies. i can enjoy almost all kinds (except for the ridiculously gory, though) and will probably list my favorites endlessly. i do, however, have a soft spot for animated films.

9. workout

does shopping count? hah. well, my work usually involves quite a bit of cardio, what about that? really. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve run after a senator and away from an angry mob.

10. pastries

fruit tarts and blueberry cheesecake (although this may not be a kind of pastry… i’m not too sure).

11. coffee

anything from cbtl and most coffee frappuccinos from starbucks. their christmas edition toffee nut drink is my absolute fave.

since i don’t know who else to tag… anyone who’d like to list their favorites, then please, feel free to do so – and let me know!

some bits and pieces:

+ to all manileños out there — we’re hiring! that is, the TV station i work for. we’re in desperate need of new reporters. so if you’ve got mad journalistic skillz (or you know someone who does), feel free to e-mail me about the details. really, you don’t even have to be a masscom major. the basic requirement is that you write well. *wink*

+ i stumbled upon the most adorable kitty video. it totally made my day.

+ even though i haven’t been an active blogger for the last few weeks, i always seem to have time to watch these make-up tutorials by the incredibly talented lauren. she has mesmerizing eyes and a truly adorable accent. love love love!

+ i just won a f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s ARANAZ bag! i joined little miss dress up‘s their way your way contest and voila! instant gorgeousness added to my wardrobe. thank you to the little misses, hanna and rosanna!

+ i promise, my next posts will be fashion-related – and not spaced out a couple of weeks at a time!
