The City: Guilty Pleasure

I have found another guilty pleasure in the form of MTV's "The City."

I wanted to watch something totally different from the CSI franchise, as this was what kept me awake at night for days now. And since I just finished watching the latest season of CSI, I decided to watch something else before moving on to the latest season of CSI: Miami.

Now, The City.

This show is crazy, I tell you. Catty, catty, catty. Not to mention the bitch-factor of Olivia Palermo is Empire State-high. I love her face, I know I blogged about her last year. But man... her character is totally bwitchy.

Sometimes I couldn't take it, but then, well, it is a guilty pleasure so I continue to watch. Hehehe. Must transfer some of the movies I already watched into my flash drive to make way for newer tv shows. Hehehe.

Have you watched this tv show yet?

Taped Mouth

I should tape my mouth and shut up.

You see, I lost my voice a few days ago, and even though I was advised to shut my trap, I still talked like any normal day. Now, almost a week after, I'm still croaking like crazy. The cough is almost gone, but my throat doesn't feel normal.

I think I should try to shut up for a day or two to regain my voice. It's gonna be difficult though, with the little lady around. But I'll try.

In the meantime, I should just blog and do some more online tasks.

BHS Tweetup, Chuva, and Carnipure

I was tagged by one of my tweep friends to inform me about the Bonifacio High Street Tweetup. At first I thought that much as I wanted to go (I only attended the one in National Sports Grill in Greenbelt), I didn't really feel well. I had very itchy throat and barely had a a voice.

Then my dear BFF told me about Chuvaness attending and that she'd be giving away a large bottle of Carnipure. I've heard it's one of the best fat burners. Now that got me thinking... "Hey, I think I'm feeling better!" Hahahaha so off I went.

There were familiar and new faces, and as with the NSG tweetup, everyone was chatting lively. I guess the others have known each other for quite some time - maybe because of the numerous tweetups in the past.

Then, Cecile van Straten, aka Chuvaness, came. Everybody got excited. A few had photo-ops too hehehe, it was crazy. She sat with us and I introduced myself as the one who she exchanged Pierre Herme miniature collection with. Then we talked about her blog entry about Kris A.'s arms (they were jiggling while clapping). I told her I was supposed to wear sleeveless that time but when I read it, became conscious. Hahahaha.

Anyway, the Carnipure contest was up, and unfortunately I didn't win it. Bummer. BFF and I were vying for it but we didn't get it. Sad.

Oh well, I didn't come home empty-handed. I got to win the bench loot courtesy of Cecile again - with Chuva loot and a booklet filled with Jake Cuenca / briefs pics. Salivate. Hahaha. I also won PhP 1k worth or Ayala Malls e-GC. Not bad, right?

Till the next tweetup!

New Condo Design Idea

I fell in love with the design and color palette of this bedroom.

So much so that I decided to let go of my turquoise fascination, for the meantime at least. Hahaha.

I made this mood board for our future condo's design.

Well, what do you know, I got to incoporate some turquoise elements along the way hahaha. Deeper shade though.

Major revamps are:

• Floors will be from cream tiles to dark wood (Pergo Spanish or Aged Oak))
• Kitchen cabinetry - from medium oak to white; the same black granite.

Crucial elements:

• Find that perfect wallpaper and glass tiles! I can't afford the Bisazza tiles (Caterina, $1k++ per square foot I think!) in my mood board. But I do want a gold and deep turquoise combination (just to satisfy my turquoise fixation hahaha). The wallpaper... *Sigh* I just have to look for something similar and less expensive. That's by Katie Ridder.
• Mirrored console and coffee table. Geesh, I forgot the name of that shop in Tiendesitas but I surely hope they're still in business! Gotta go there one time. Hope they custom-make since our "foyer" has very limited space.
• Lighting elements - gotta find that table lamp that's just the right size - tall and slim. Now as to the ceiling lamps, I will still look for similar once that are less expensive. But if all else fails, I guess I gotta buy them from Venzon. Ack. Expensivo!

Hopefully our condo will be on its way to looking like that at least by 2011. I hope I stick to this design. So for now, bye bye modern Scandi. Hello again modern glamour.

(I seem to be tossing between those two, hahaha).
