Moving Blogs

hi everyone, i want to finally move to another blog, coz this one is pretty slow. Just opening the page takes a lot of time and to think i already have fast internet. 

well, incase you’re interested, i’m moving to this new site: 

http://styleshanghai.blogatize.net

blogatize has a free blog too, so check it out if you want. i know a lot of people are still in search of blog hosts as until now blogger is still blocked. 

to all the adgitize and entrecard droppers, you may drop at my other blog:

thanks!

Everyone’s Talking About The Solar Eclipse

yesterday, i was a bit worried i couldn’t get those solar eclipse solar glasses. well, it’s really such a pity but i dont want to risk my eyesight anyway and so i didn’t look at all. i thought i was just gonna wait indoors but then i realized it’s not gonna happen again for more than a hundred years and so i thought i’d just go out and be just as curious. 

it was truly amazing. the change from daylight to night to daylight again within 5 minutes was amazing. 

 as of the moment i’m still uploading the video that i took during this said event. i’ll give you the link soon enough.ciao. 

Bad Dream

after my blog, i thought of sleeping first, so i’d have more energy when i do some work later. but it turned out i had a bad dream. it was about someone entering my house thru the window. i was so scared that i screamed to my neighbors (still in my dream)  and they all came in and they fixed my window, like lock them up or something. 

thank goodness that i sleep with my cellphone nearby and it sounded off coz someone texted me. luckily i knew people who sleep late. 

i hate bad dreams! 

Decluttering

actually, i need to use my brain tonight, don’t we always? lol. i’m working on something really cool that i need my full concentration, which is why i need to blog. well, normally i have all these thoughts going inside my head. i think i must’ve overdid it, last week, i shrieked out when i saw my first white hait EVER! argh! i’m seriously gonna dye my hair when i get some money lol. 

so anyway, i think it’s because i haven’t blogged that much about my thoughts, it’s keeping me stressed out. 

so today, i went to work, i managed to cook some breakfast for myself…very mature of me, coz i’m usually lazy. lol. and i still manage to get to work on time. it’s extremely hot now in shanghai, i’m beginning to use umbrellas too. i think i’m becoming more chinese now haha. actually i saw my face on the mirror and i just realized how dark i am already. 

it was a good thing last night that i cleaned up my room, my living room, almost everything…coz when i need to concentrate and i see some mess, i get distracted and i want to stop whatever it is and start cleaning up. i think i’m really OC in my past life. 

i haven’t been buying groceries much either coz they get rancid easily esp…the rice. you have to refrigerate everything if you intend to reheat them again later. 

i’m currently inspired to do a major makeover with my blogs, problogger is a huge inspiration when it comes to blogging and i’ve got all these thoughts in my head, i don’t know how to manage them or even where to start. but maybe i’ll start inawhile.  also, because i’ve been using illustrator again, i’ve read books and tutorials and stuff like that and it kinda reminded me who i was or rather who dreamt of being a long time ago. it kinda stopped because all i thought about is to survive this crisis and do whatever it is that i could manage. i forgot my voice. i’m just glad i was able to realize all these things. my friend told me i have all this energy within me that i couldn’t standstill. actually, i’m feeling that although i agree with this energy sort of thing, i feel like i haven’t really put it to use that much which makes me uneasy. oh well, i’m pretty sure you couldn’t keep up with my ramblings for today. which is why i’m gonna cut it short already as i really need to get back to work. 

so if you’re in shanghai, how are you coping with most of the websites blocked? 

 bye for now. ciao.

Watching Ugly Betty 3 on Youku

this is hilarious. i can’t find any dvd i like, and youtube is blocked as well so might as well watch at youku. yeah that’s the life you have inside a box. but hey, i’m not complaining…just saying, wish there’s some room to breathe in. 

Busy Week

like i said in my title, it’s gonna be a really busy week coz i’ve got tons to do at work and some stuff at home and all that. it kinda helps that most of the sites are blocked anyway and so there’s nothing else to  do to pass the time but to do what i’ve got to do right. 

 i don’t even have time to read this book that i just bought two weeks ago. luckily i didn’t buy more books. 

 during my free time, if i have any at all, i practice my piano (well, i still think my teacher’s sounded like she was singing, while i sounded i was reciting a poem, lol) and lately, i tried reading more about Chinese language, after all this time i’ve been here i should be fluent already. 

well anyway, i’m gonna give you free chinese lessons for today. 

 how to say monday to sunday in mandarin. it’s really easy: 

monday - start of the week, xing qi yi (day 1) 

 tuesday - xing qi er (day 2) 

 wednesday - xing qi san (day 3) 

continue till saturday. 

sunday - xing qi  ri/ xinqi tian

 see it’s easy right? well, i just thought i’m so silly i couldn’t say this last week to my piano teacher when she called me up to set an appointment for our piano lessons. well, now i could definitely tell her. 

ok im really sleepy. bye for now. ciao! 

Mang Tomas Sarsa

i don’t know any nice catchy SEO title at the moment. if you’re a filipino i’m sure you know what i’m referring to, in the title. 

actually when my mom came here just a month ago, she gave me a full box of all Philippine-flavored seasonings, and i was just laughing when i scanned the box the other day, she must’ve bought at least 20 sachets of mang tomas sauce that we use for lechon or fried meat. 

i told my mom, is this a year’s supply? and she laughed. i think she figured i’d be frying food most of the time since i’m not much of a cook and that at least if i add the sauce it’ll be better. lol. so i tried it out today. it was pretty good. but i still miss other food. i’m definitely gonna pig out when i go home. 

i didn’t really go out much this weekend. i’m trying to save up. it’s the first time in months that i actually don’t have to pay anything and it’s such a relief i’m actually proud to say that i’m beginning to save up now. i hope i could keep this up though, the temptation is just so strong lol. 

i’m thinking of moving to blogatize permanently, but then it’ll just confuse my followers, if i had any. but stay tuned…i’m organizing things up with my blogs. 

——-

i was quite happy yesterday, i was able to access facebook, but it was temporary coz the next day i couldn’t access it anymore, but still i was happy for the temporary relief. i just hope they’d bring back facebook soon. i really miss it! 

oh well, that’s all for  now. ciao! 

Shucks!!!

Sorry haven’t posted in awhile i’ve been really busy with work lately. Though i get to manage updating my fashion blog, lovebeautyfashion and my blog about bags. 

I was quite sad yesterday, thinking i have some time to spare, to check and update my facebook account. However, i found out it was blocked too, same as my twitter. Had i no friends outside china, it would’ve been insignificant to me. But i do have friends back home and it was my only connection to them and i felt cut-off. 

Oh well, i guess i’d just have to get back to old-fashioned email. Lol! 

Hmm…what did i do this weekend? Well, it was mostly for preparing for work, then i went out with friends. I love the foreign language bookstore here in Shanghai now. Before i thought they just have old pocket book titles but i found some really nice books i told myself i’d buy when i have the spare cash. There’s tons of drawing and graphic books that are really cool. There’s stuff about language…and i’m really keen on getting my hands on, are the japanese fashion magazines and maybe allure and lucky. Gosh i’m spending money already even just in my head. haha. 

Luckily, my cough and colds seem to be gone as of the moment, knock knock* The other brand of medicine doesn’t seem to work for me after consuming the whole stuff. I used robitussin instead, like the same one we have back home. And it worked immediately. I think my body’s just used to the familiar stuff.

I’m so busy with a lot of things, like blogging, trying to keep up with my chinese lessons, my piano lessons, calling my bf, updating my parents of what their crazy daughter is doing here. haha. And not to mention reading books, i swear i felt at  one point my tongue’s getting twisted speaking in english all the time hahah. I miss speaking in tagalog and not really thinking what i had to say. Also, i’m kinda missing pinoy foods lately, my body’s looking for it:

pancit canton, tuyo, daing with suka, itlog na pula, inihaw na bangus, sinigang sa miso, my mom’s chicken dish, my grandma’s adobo, jessie’s sisig, pinapaitan, alamang, hotdogs (blah! they don’t have nice purefoods hotdogs here!). 

argh! i could just go on, if i could only fly one day to Philippines and eat up then go home the next day, i would haha.
