–welcome to existence!

Last saturday, November 25, 2006, was my first-ever photo shoot! wooaahh! and boy! was i excited! let me give you the details… The Saturday morning started with my usual routine-wake-up, shower-dress up-go to school. Heheh! don’t have breakfast…well, i made sure i don’t have breakfast this day. anyways, when i got to school, i prepare my tired mind for a seminar on DTI, business permits, and more ZzzzzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

there we are sitting at the new AVR (Theodore "butterscotch" as what my classmates call it). it feels like being in a very small AYALA cinema. seats were to close to each other that i can no longer fit. but in fairness, it was a great improvement of our old AVR (back then when it has no name =) ). all of us were falling asleep and thinking of food. as for me, i had an excuse to sleep, i was sick! hahahah! yup, i was sick on my photoshoot day. bummer

after the seminar which i thought would never end, i packed up my belongings and went to Jollibee to meet up with the photographers- Peter Go, and Lito (dunno lastname). anyway, i had my very small lunch as Jian and I waited for the make-up artist who charges 10,000 pesos per stroke. hahah! kidding! it is none other than Miss Pauline Alemanya. when we finished our lunch we all squeezed inside Peter’s car all the way to Pardo. i, as a matter of fact, was very nervous. i kept on thinking that i can’t project well, and that the photographers would be very annoyed by me. huhuhuhu! owell! trust me, those are one of those model-paranoia! hehe!

i had fun! and it turned out all right though we missed out on one outfit. we started around 3pm and by the time the second outfit was done, it was close to 6pm. and we couldn’t get any good shots anymore because it was dark.

to me, this was a fantastic yet tiring day. it could kill! ahah! i learned a lot from the photo shoot. it is my first time, and u can’t expect me to be that good already ei?! i assure that there are going to be more photo shoots with Jian Lasala. For the meantime, you guys have to settle for pics like these. (u can find all the photos @ jianlasala.multiply.com- under the "AND I Miss You" photo album)

I MISS HIM is the theme. so, thats why i don’t smile in any of the pics. i dont look so appealing when i dont smile but my trainor (JIAN) said he loves the "drama" that i was able to project all throughout the shoot! YEY! Im so proud of myself! on my blue outfit, i was already close to suicidal. hahah! i dont really like the pics on the blue outfit. i felt they were too CLOSE to my face. i like the red outfit. its "sane" and pretty! ehhehe!

Thank you to Peter Go and Lito Inso for the pictures. to take a look at the photos of Peter, go to www.petergo.tk. this guy could take some attitude photos. Thanks to them!

To my trainor, classmate and friend, the great designer, Jian Lasala himself for making me what i am today. a girl with confidence. He certainly made me feel i was beautiful and special! Thanks!!! Mwahda!

Anyway, that wraps up my experience. i was pleased and i loved it! Oh ya! Mr. Loki Velasco AKA Mouse Potato made a music video of these pictures. visit it at www.youtube.com and just search for Jian, Jian Lasala, or The Jian Lasala Fashion Group. heheh!

Thanks for reading! i’ll update u guys more!!

wendy! Pendy!

WARNING: in the next few minutes you’ll realize what kind of a person i am. "heavy ang drama"

There are so many beautiful things in life, and i happen to have one of them… Music…Friends…

Probably, i would say, I’m kind of good at it. In my previous blog entry, I’ve mentioned that I am a passionate musician. The picture you see there is me, with one of my best friends-the piano. It’s the only friend who never complained when i complain about my life, relay how tired i am by banging on the keys, tell crazy stories about my love life that i repeat it over and over again. the piano never got annoyed of me…and it never will.

if i have problems, how would the piano advice me? It doesn’t (obviously), it just tells me how i lucky i am because "something" can relate to me, and is "listening" to me through the music that i play, and how the piano can adapt to what i really feel.

Thanks to the following people who became one of the finest grand pianos in my life. Krystel Gayle Guzman-for being my wazoogurl. heheh! for sharing her thoughts with me and listens when i need someone to. although your ideas are so radical, i always consider them. hehe! Divina Ramirez-for being my first kindergarten friend. This girl carries my bag around back when we were in pre-school…and is pretty helpful in "finishing" and "polishing" my lunch box. =) Jian Lasala-for being a great teacher and at the same time, a great friend whom i learn a lot from. This guy/girl has so many struggles that i can actually learn from him in return when he tells me these. David Tangal-a man of few words but a man of many great actions. he can make me feel better just for him to look at me and listen to me without saying anything. he makes it a point that i end up happy by cheering me up and getting my mind off things. my DMME family-the greatest batch in the world!

now this is no drama. it’s just today, i realized how lucky i am to have friends around me and the passion to keep me burning and living.

ill be forever greatful! thanks guys!

ok..ok..this is not a horror article…chill~~

For two weeks, i had no internet connection since i went back home to Tacloban. That meant, no updating og blogs, profiles, pics, no viewing of friends’ pages, no YM! wow! what-a-two-week vacation! but then, a lot of things have happened.

when i got home, i was greeted by terrible news from one of my PANA team mate, Jian, that…. "We did not make it to PANA." ok. that made froze my body, and my vision starts to blur. i started to internalize as many reasons why we weren’t accepted. no reasons could come up so all i did was just to stare at my mom, and…my lunch. i really felt so bad about not being accepted. i could still remember the efforts we placed on this just to be able to a worthy-top-seven. i guess it’s really not for us so anyway!

well, school is back and that is something for a student to be "sorrowful" about…well, to some students that is. hee! i went to school this morning to see my friends and wait around for our classes (which we didn’t have). it was a "wasted" day in school. bummer… oh wait…i said we didn’t have class right??? im supposed to be HAPPY!!!!!!!!! YYYYEEEEYYYY…… ya right!

at least i was able to see my lovable DMMEs again. it kind of gave me hope for a spectacular, no-sleep, no-eat, no-rest semester ahead of us. woooohoooo!!! hahahahahah!

i hope it would be….or not…. =) anything works!! just keep me alive and kicking!
