Vintage Barbie

Hi guys! Around this season of last year that I started calling, organizing and preparing for my mini me, Winter's 1st birthday. And now, I am starting to prepare for her 2nd birthday next month!

After much deliberation, I decided that the theme for her birthday would be (of course, it's in the title)....

I am admittedly very fond of doodling my thoughts, my schedule etc in a journal. I guess it started when back in high school, we were required to submit a weekly journal of our everyday activities in our English class. After that, I lied-low on the journal thing but went back to jotting down everything when I entered college in DLSU. I don't know if it's the same with other schools but because we live in the tri-sem world, everything is just so fast-paced. We can eat lunch while walking, while waiting in line at the elevator at Andrew Bldg, while in class (discreetly), and any other situation. We are always in a hurry, constantly chasing time, running from one building to another to make it in time for the next class within the 10 minute break via the heavily-populated elevators. God! And the worst of it all is papers, reports and projects are due "next meeting" which actually means... you have 1 day to do it -along with all the papers, reports, projects the other 4 subjects you had that day.

WHITE CHRISTMAS.

Oh no! You didn't!

Oh yes, I did.

My emotional what not has been very obvious based on my last few blogs. I even forgot to blog about my own birthday just because I was way too low on energy & enthusiasm about life. Choz. But last Friday, I was informed that the project I was removed from was well, let's just say I'm back on that team again! Yey! The past week has been such a blessing! Of course more than the big project, there were other small miracles that happened. 

The next day, after work, we celebrated Seph's birthday at Tides. There was me, Rob & Eda. He only has three friends. Haha! I'm kidding. Anyway, I don't know why we finished at 3am but we're not THAT intoxicated. When we got to our home, they slept right up. Not sure if it's alcohol or slipping pills they put in our drinks. Eda of course wasn't at all sleepy cause she just woke up before heading to Tides (that's also why she's late). I did sleep too and woke up to find both of my friends gone. kthanksbye.
