Cake Make-Up and a Rockhard Hairdo
Apr 1, 2008 Buzz, Daily Blurbs, School
Today, I went to school to have my graduation picture taken. I arrived at 3pm, and was able to snag a spot by 4:30pm. I was supposed to be one of the last persons to have their pictures taken, but, my friend let me inside the room where the photo shoot is taking place so I could have my photo done earlier. I don’t really feel sorry for the other girls who gave me a dirty look when I got ahead of them. I have an excuse to be a b*tch today. I was sick and I was kind of nauseas a while ago because I’ve had the flu the past few days.
Anyway, the make-up artist gave me a cake make-up. You know? The kind where you feel that your face is so thick of wet foundation. I was a bit annoyed because the hand of the person doing my make-up smells of nicotine and who-knows-what. My hair was sprayed with hairspray and I think I looked kind of girly. My mom said that the hairdo looks really nice and my make-up was done well. I hate getting my make-up done by other people because they use their own make-up. My face felt itchy after the shoot, so I went to the restroom and washed my face. I wasn’t able to remove all the make-up since I only used water, so I headed home after that. I was supposed to pass by the grocery store to get some stuff, and check on this medicine, Orovo, that my friend mentioned.

Ready to Fly
Mar 2, 2008 Buzz, Daily Blurbs, School
Last Friady, I went to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) with Ryan and my parents to apply for a passport. We left home at 12:30pm and our scheduled time is between 3-4pm. We anticipated a heavy flow of traffic going to Roxas Blvd. because of the Interfaith prayer rally at Makati City, which was a success.
We arrived at the Mall of Asia after an hour and grabbed a bite at Teriyaki Boy. We waited for Ryan to get off work so we can all go to DFA together. His office is right next to the mall. At 3:30pm we were already at DFA where a long line has filed up outside the building. It is a great thing that our neighbor works there. We didn’t have to stand in line outside, he lead us directly to the processing room where we only waited for 10 minutes, and another 10 minutes to pay for the passport fee. We spent an hour and 15 minutes at the auditorium for the verification process because that’s where the line was the longest, but the encoders were efficient and fast.
There were about 500 people inside the auditorium at a time. It sucks that I had to retake my passport picture, well, actually it was a blessing, because I didn’t like the first picture. I think that it is important to have a good passport picture because, well… who wants a bad picture on an ID, let alone, your passport? The passport will be given to us by our neighbor after two weeks. Ryan and I are planning on traveling in Asia first. Hong Kong may be our first destination. We also plan to travel all over the Philippines. I am graduating soon, and that means I can start working and earn extra cash.

New Camera
Jan 5, 2008 Buzz, Daily Blurbs, School, Stuff
I need a new camera, not because mine is broken, but because it’s outdated. I currently have Casio Exilim Z-30. It has the coolest features, so I’d probably stick to Casio Exilim, but I want to choose from the latest models. Z-30 only has 3.2MP and 4x optical zoom. I am actually eying the EX-Z1200 with its cool specifications of 12.1MP, 2.8 LCD, face detection/recognition options and high-speed continuous flash shutter. I can do away with rechargeable batteries, since it uses Lithium-Ion batteries.
I actually posted my Z-30 at ebay for bidding, but I was upset that someone sent me a message and is asking for a lower bidding price! I took it down and decided to keep the camera for my whole family to use, then I’d invest on another camera for my own.
Starting this month, I am going to save up enough money to upgrade my camera. I am also going to save for a new PC monitor, my current monitor is too small for what I do1. I’ll be done with school this year, and I can’t wait to start working and earn more money! Good luck to me!
