My baby's back with SWAG!

She's now getting more active views again with all the re-branding efforts and photo updates (never thought having a speedlight would help me this much).

WEIRD DREAMS ARE BACK! INFANTICIDE.

I dreamt about my ex's baby. I was with few relatives (definitely with my mom) in a old sorta like kubo and found a baby boy lying on the floor, no one else was there. I took the baby in my arms wondering why this baby looks very familiar. I went to the mirror to take a closer look at the boy and realized that he looks exactly like my ex-boyfriend, Vincent. Weird enough and I still can't figure out how, the baby managed to talk and tell me about what happened, why he was left lying like that all alone. He said their family was so poor his parents decided to just die together. I knew my eyes are wet with tears while he was telling me about it. He continued that Vincent and his wife decided to put him in the freezer so he could die peacefully.I'm not sure why I'm feeling guilty that I'm that kid's mother, that's just weird.

It's not the first time I dreamt about Vincent's death - I'm just not sure how he was doing now, we haven't seen or talked to each other for years.

Hear Me Roar: My 26th Nameday

I made my dream party come true!

I've started collecting ideas for my party around June and found this: 

I'm not sure how I landed here but I enjoyed the video so much, I want to have my own Game of Thrones party as crazy as this!

https://www.facebook.com/SweetConfectionsByQueenie

Gave this peg for my cake and they awesomely pulled it off... I like how they did the blood, they let me poured it myself.

I'm loving Cersei's character so I chose to play her. My mom did the dress for me and for my siblings while my dad surprised me with the Iron Throne (I felt like I won an Oscar Award when I saw him carrying it).

Another factor that made the party unforgettable were my guests who did came in wearing their favorite Game of Thrones character costume... they really deserve an award for that!

It was so nice to have them all here... I had so much fun! The McDonald's Makati Square branch crew did a really great job preparing the games and the loot for the 'not-so-kiddie' party - totally worth it.

My friends knew how excited I am for the upcoming movie The Conjuring and to finally conclude my awesome birthday celebration, nine of us went out that night to see it! I'll never forget the reaction I made when a boy appeared in the mirror,.. didn't expect it at all. (Sorry for the blurred shot, can't get my hands to stay still).

CHAOTIC

One word to describe my life right now.

I NEED TO FIX THIS SOON OR MY DREAM OF BECOMING A QUEEN SOMEDAY WILL NEVER COME TRUE.

For the people behind New Girl Season 2:

For Nick and Jess, I've been wanting them to be together but I hate the fact that you made it happen so soon - like how you're trying to take the 'douche' character out from Schmidt, not so cool!!! YOU'VE JUST ENDED THE FUN, REALLY AND I HATE YOU!

Stuck for months, listening to Anberlin - I've finally given other Artists in my playlist a chance to entertain me.

On my way back home from Puerto Galera, I found a set of tracks by Death Cab for Cutie which I've got from my sister. I need to stay awake for an hour since I'm travelling alone and their songs successfully got me paying attention. 

Sadly I've only got few songs and they're all pretty good so I've decided to group it with The Shins to complete my Morning Soundtrack. You should have one too!

Check out my recommendation:

1. Beautiful Love - The Afters

2. Sound of Settling - Death Cab for Cutie

3. Australia - The Shins

4. Shine On - The Kooks

5. Shine - Take That

6. Good Life - One Republic

7. To The Sky - Owl City

8. You Make My Dreams Come True - Melee (Hall & Oats Cover)

'Feel Good' songs enough for a 45-minute travel - these songs just makes me feel like dancing on my way to work.

I honestly didn't expect a lot but boy I enjoyed it!

A simple story yet executed creatively. Not to mention the awesome 'anime-like' fight scenes that would make you go "WHOAAAAHHH"!!! 

Then a day after seeing the movie, I saw this...

(I guess Filipinos' find it so good they've decided to do a remake so soon)

Not the first song I've heard from The Shins but this one really made me smile. Got this from my sister's playlist and now I've got myself a copy. But I must say, Phantom Limb is definitely my favorite track - flawlessly written and arranged. Still playing the two songs in loop :D

12.12.12: A Day Late Highlight of the Year

OH MY GOSH I FEEL LIKE DANCIN’ IN THE CLOUDS ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED TODAY!!!

So yesterday I already felt bored with my clay sculptures, I’ve been working for almost a week with it and finally I got tired of it - not sure why. Yesterday was kinda crazy with so many different thoughts running in my head, also realizing that I miss working in a office with some new people to talk to… WELL YESTERDAY’S PERFECT!

I got this invitation for an interview, asking me if I can come (that’s today) to tell them more about my work personally and POOF it became coco crunch!!! So I’ve landed a job… A job that I’ve been wanting to do before and oh my gosh I can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now. Everything just fell into place so perfectly. If I hadn’t felt that thing I felt yesterday, that boredom, I wouldn’t get a chance to apply for this company! 

First application after three months of being unemployed, doing only freelance projects… and now I’ll be partying with my new Singaporean Bosses this Christmas! AWESOME!!!

And I also need to record this… I’VE JUST WON THE TATER’S TWILIGHT PROMO TODAY (received the message right after knowing that I got the position)!!! Not a fan but P500 worth of Tater’s GC is definitely something to get excited about!

[gracefulsins-blog]

Finally finished the first set of my clay sculptures. I'm so happy that I finally got a chance to do this (been dreaming about this project since 2010!).

I'm also proud to announce that my image transfer experiment is a huge success so I'll be including that to my artistic services... AHUH, collect all those instagram photos now and wear those stylish memories this Christmas! 

Please give my pigs some love at http://www.facebook.com/ThePigPenStore 

Now I'm seeing pink stripes on my 2012 list of goals.

End of Halloween makes us HORROR fans sad... So here's to welcome this coming Christmas with a twisted cover of Greensleeves, from the movie Whispering Corridors 4: Voice Letter.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Yay! Finally opened my own online store, selling all cute things and some handmade stuff. I haven't uploaded all the photos yet, still need to retake some shots. Hope to get buyers before the year ends... SO HAPPY!

Thanks to my sister Pauline, she's really good in making cute logos don't you agree?

I thought the first activity was the worst film I've seen but boy this just broke the record - I've wasted an hour of my life watching this, plus another hour for going to the mall and falling in line for the popcorn. 

!!!YOU MUST READ THIS SPOILER!!!

Katy turned into a zombie at the end.

The making of my portfolio and I’m almost done!

Well the thought of having to present my portfolio in a ‘clear book’ really bothers me… if I want to work in a creative agency (which is a life-long dream of mine), I don’t want to waste an opportunity to impress anyone. For me, it’s like auditioning for MasterChef!

So I made a portfolio that speaks about myself. I don’t have enough budget to get a supplier so I did it on my own like literally - printed all the pages at home, cut it to size and fold it in half for that back-to-back print (I used adhesive spray that I found in our garage to secure the pages and make it thicker), punched it with holes where I can insert a lock that I found in some notebook lying around the house… so yah, not a single penny was taken from me!

I’m so happy to see it finally coming together, just have to think about what cover should I used and how it’ll look like.

All printed works are synced to my online portfolio at http://www.behance.net/greyzdayo
