Blow the cake

I will be 28 in exactly 39 days. Marking it special due to the 8-8-8 hype and due to the call to celebrate, conflict on my day arises. Who wants that on your special day? ofcourse, no one.

As mentioned, there is time conflict due to another special occassion, which leads me to pop more thought bubbles. One. Two and three bubbles, still I don't know what to do and how to celebrate my day. All my life, I'm used to hearing mass as early as possible then do my thing and when dinner time comes, my family and dear ones enjoy a feast. It is always like that and I love it spending with the people I love.

This year though, I want to celebrate it in a different way or more special way but I still don't know how and when and whatever. Worst thing probably is to lock myself in my room. ahaha pathetic bitch. All I have now is a wish list of the things I need /want / have to achieve within "That" timeframe. I have listed 28 items:

1. done with my Nth session for laser hair removal
2. hair treatment
3. body scrub
4. a good massage
5. a much needed vacation
6. savings!!! savings!!! and more savings
7. graduate from my anger management class
8. techno strap
9. new comfy shoes
10. hot jeans
11. flattering tops
12. eternity ring or "that" necklace
13. laptop????
14. stop myself from reading and reading and reading w@w page everyday. Pde 3x a week lang. ahaha
15. get serious on things that matters most
16. to be more firm with all decisions I make
17. be more care free
18. Shu uemura eyelash curler ( not sure my the spelling)
19. estee's green tea
20. facial steamer ahaha
21. excercise
22. attend mass as often a I can
23. little charity work
24. house
25. business
26. revive my brain cells
27. spend more QT with Ninja
28. good health

Because I am petite...

When designer Monique Lhuillier was looking for a dress to wear for her wedding, she had trouble finding one to fit her tiny frame.

"When you're small like I am," she explains, "a big, elaborate gown can sometimes look as if it's wearing you, rather than the other way around."

Now, of course, Lhuillier designs her own line of bridal gowns with the petite bride in mind - lots of shoulder-baring A-line styles, pleated skirts, and bodices designed with inserts. "The less fabric there is, the more you'll see of the bride," she explains. "If there's too much material and beading, the bride will look overwhelmed."

Placing an insert (or "crumb catcher") at the bustline will also help give the illusion of a lengthier frame. "The insert draws the eye up," Lhuillier explains, "making the bride look up to three inches taller."

Another trick, says Lhuillier, is exposing your shoulders and arms. "Strapless gowns and high, off-the-shoulder styles will make your torso look longer," she says. "And if you're wearing a full skirt, your bare skin will balance out all the material."

Though Lhuillier says every bride should choose the gown that best reflects her personality, she recommends the following three silhouettes for diminutive brides:

The Close-Fitting Sheath Hard for many women to pull off, the sheath is perfect for the petite bride. The slim shape follows the natural lines of the body, giving the illusion of length.

The A-line Gown: The A-line is fitted through the torso, with a skirt that falls in a slightly flared triangular shape. The silhouette elongates short waists, adding the illusion of length. If you like the fullness of a ball gown, opt for an A-line gown with a bustle to fill out the back.

The Princess Line: Princess is similar to A-line, but the fit is achieved with vertical seams that run from the middle of the shoulders down to the hem in one straight line, elongating everything.

TAKING THE TRAIN: If you've always dreamt of wearing a train on your wedding day, try pairing a six-inch sweep version with one of the above shapes. Long, chapel-length trains can look overpowering on a petite bride.

GOING UP:Now is not the time to break out the four-inch heels to add height, either. By the end of the ceremony, your feet will be killing you. Consider wearing your hair up, instead, which elongates the neck, adding length. For an even more statuesque style, top off your upswept tresses with a sparkling tiara. You'll look -- and feel -- like a princess.

DESIGNING WOMEN: In addition to Monique Lhuillier, designers like Carolina Herrera, Manale, Erisa Katsura, Yumi Katsura, and Wearkstatt all create small-size gowns (staring at size zero or two), while companies like Eden Bridals, Priscilla of Boston, and Venus all offer complete petite collections. Check out gowns from each of these companies at The Knot Wedding Gown Search. -- Hollee Actman Becker

Installing 101


Installing a husband

Dear Tech support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow-down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed, Desperate


DEAR DESPERATE,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

Also do not attempt to reinstall Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,

Tech support






Installing Love


Tech Support: Yes, ... how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not
run on external components ." What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.

Cheating happens when you start looking for what you don't have....

Somewhere along the way, you will meet someone who will be more charming or sensitive than the one you're already with. more sexy. more thoughtful. wealthier. better in bed. and you will meet someone who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your boyfriend/girlfriend ever did. because no boyfriend/girlfriend is perfect. because your boyfriend/girlfriend will only have 90 percent of what you're looking for. So, cheating happens when you look for the missing 10 percent.

Lets say your girlfriend is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty girl next-door who has a cheerleader laugh no matter what she says: I broke my arm yesterday, ha ha ha... Or because your girlfriend is a couch potato who is always in pajamas and smelling of garlic and cooking oil, you may fall for the CK-One-smelling colleague who comes to work in a sharp pinstripe blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your boyfriend is the type who never shuts up even when you've tried using duct tape, your heart may skip a beat when you sit next to a brooding, mysterious Latino on the bus.

but wait! Thats only 10 percent of what you don't have. Don't throw away the 90 percent that you already do! add to the 90 percent the 100 percent that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The many adjustments you have made to better understand each others little quirks and idiosyncrasies. The wealth of memories that you have accumulated as lovers. The old sparks that can always be rekindled by the walk on the beach, barefoot and underneath the stars...

Cheating happens when you start looking for what you don't have. but faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

I got this from a friend’s blog. I am just re-posting it. I cannot relate to this actually because I trust my Ninja completely. Although, I must admit that I have been a victim of cheaters several times already. Not only once, not twice. I learned from them but most left me more fragile and less trustful. And mind you, if I trust you even a bit… be thankful coz you are one lucky individual.

One more thing, I strongly believe in Karma.

Kiss and make up

Nothing beats the power of a make up kiss. Damn, I so love it.

I shut down my old site due to my uncontrolled blog entries, which led to making it quite controversial to some folks. Still, here I am writing but as promised I will be in control. At times, I could still be fuming mad but most of the time I will be in love. In love with my views, what ever it is that I wanna share... most of all, in love with my Fiancé.

Now, what are you looking at? Come here and kiss me.
