Da Vinci's Code Movie

Finally it is confirmed! Hanks Confirmed for Da Vinci Code, Release Date Set Tom Hanks will indeed star in "The Da Vinci Code," Columbia Pictures confirmed Tuesday. Hanks will play the role of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon who, along with the granddaughter of a murdered curator, races accross Europe to uncover a mystery hidden in artworks of Leonardo Da Vinci. The movie will be released May 19, 2006. Ron Howard has signed on to direct, with Akiva Goldsman adapting the screenplay. The movie is based on Dan Brown's novel of the same name. I am so excited! I wonder if it will be any good? I love the mystery in National Treasure so I hope this will hold its flag...

Lots and lots of Asian Movies are being edited or copied or will be made in Hollywood, and I am thrilled to see it, it will definitely (i hope) be something nicer because Asian Movies are mostly made with passion in it so it always turns out good, I hope they don't ruin it...I mean they should have had more to let people see...hum..I just recently discovered that Shall We Dance with J. Lo is an Aisna hit before! GO ASIANS!! Another Japanese thriller will be made into a hollywood one, I think it is ...Dark Water? (am not sure!) But between the Grudge Japanese version and American, I still prefer the Japanese one...

Damn it!

Damn. I was writing a long entry then it was erase! I don't want to repeat my self, so screw it!

I've seen the 41st Golden Horse Award it was in Taipei, Taiwan (which I dream on going to someday) and Andy Lau (best actor) was really the biggest star of the night, everybody just want to have a piece of him..I do too...Daniel Wu look awful in the haircut, but still love him! Good thing he won best supporting actor! Congratulations to both!

Lovers in Paris will soon be airing on CETV so that means, more fast-paced episode, longer and better...although it has no english subtitle which will once again cut through my brain...

Hope to shop tomorrow...

Tell me about your Bedtime Story + Millionaire's Escape

Have you ever had one?

Topic Title: BEDTIME STORY The Outsider's Soundtrack
Download (right click, save as) : here

My bedtime story when I was a child? I guess I couldn't remember, then again, I couldn't remember much about my childhood, except that I rode the horse once, did ballet, own an owner jeep before, I went and run in the rain while in the Manila mail post, was in full bliss upon hearing my first trip to the mall, won awards, pretty much those things only. I think I had a short term memory lost for I forgot lots of things about me when I was still a child. Isn't it nice to have a bedtime story? Something that you would look forward every night and would fall in sleep into...someone who would tell you the story and make you feel special just by being there and telling you the wonderful story.

I love this song that is entitled "BEDTIME STORY", yes it is in Chinese so most of you either won't appreciate it, or won't even bother to listen to it. But the song is really something...so touching, warm, relaxing, and full of love. It was a song that made me repeat it so much (more than 10 - in one sitting), a song that made me cry...because the message is simple but deep... " Your life and things are my bedtime story, baby, i would like to tell you that you are the most beautiful story I heard... you are my bedtime story, but now, you are his bedtime story..." good night baby, have a good night sleep... hum...the start of the song is very catchy and sharp, something that would awaken a soul..bring depths to the heart and soul...I'll try to find a whole complete translation of the song, so that I would be able to share the wonderful message.

Topic Title: Millionaire's Escape Discovery Travel and Adventure

My sentiments toward the documentary I saw? " I wish I had one..." It was nice to see alot of ways that people -- SPECIAL, RICH, ROYAL people -- who travels, dometically and internationally...first stop was the airplanes...and what I site it was.. Madonna and Guy Richie had one, worth $16 million? John Travolta loves driving one, whose? Of course, the one he owns...and last, Queen Elizabeth how do you think this queen travels? Of course, with style and sophistication. The whole first class area is transformed into a simple but sophisticated work place for the Queen, after that back to the first class area design -whew! What a huge work for one person. Elvis Presley jet planes however are not working on air anymore, but it is a fave spot for tourist because they can walk inside and appreciate the wonderful private jet that the King once slept, work, drink and dine in. Now let's go to the most expensive luxury car...made together by various prestige car companies as a gift for the majesty..the Queen, it is so expensive that I think it can feed a thirld world country, or supply the whole South Africa with help. It is made with all the security you can imagine, but it is of course, discreet. Bullet-proof, bomb-proof are just some of the safety measures...Next, luxury boats that cost $10 million, 59 kilometers per hour, have 59cc (i can't understand this..but for reference sake), faster than any car on land..the interior was just wow!! Next, the trains, yes, luxury do exist and for a night it cost $1800, such a nice cruise, a very luxurios one, that after riding it, you could definitely feel ROYAL!

Anyways, things like these are just one of my dreams...maybe in the future when my life is whole and complete? After all, I love travelling...

BENCH = LOVE KO TO!

Today I had an interview at Bench and we (rose and I) were lost because we don't know who we are going to talk to. They kept on saying this Grace girl, turns out there are two of them, we were sent to the wrong person. So ended up waiting for an hour, then did the interview for 10 minutes...But it was alright, I felt for the place and I really would love to work there. I met a nice lady too and she also applied, but she already got some work experience..she informed me that the person who interviewed us was one of the owners of the company. She is a pamangkin of Ben Chan (Bench's main man) She looks simple but sophisticated and looks well-educated, she even got a picture with Jasmine Trias, I was just wondering, "how about jerry yan?" but maybe it was hidden somewhere nobody can see? So that She will have her eyes solely on it? haha....but it was fun...I saw lots of Bench's clothing and products all piled up and displayed in various racks, I think they have photoshoots or whatever...anyways...I hope to get in, so wish me luck...

Maid in heaven or hell?

Two kind of abuses Either the employer abuses the maid, or the maid abuses the employer.

I know that in the Philippines, we are so lucky, for we have maids to help us in the daily chores in our houses, sometimes we take them for granted and some people treat them like slaves. I guess we are lucky for we have them to help us. Unlike in other countries where either maids are so expensive, or they are just nowhere to be found. I hate it when I hear news about people being abused but what I hate the most is when you respect and treat them well but in return? They treat you unfairly and without respect. Yes, it may sound bad but ... you pay them, and you except they do their job right? But what if they don't? Our maid took a day-off, in our house, we treat our maid with such respect and convinience, they have their own television, radio, comfortable bed, and cabinets. We let them have whatever we are having, we even sometimes buy food for them. So back to the day-off thing, when my mom said day-off she means a day or two. But that is it...we know some people don't even allow their maids to go out in a month, or sometimes only once in a month...but we (since we have two maids) allow them to have day-off on weekends in the condition that one stays...so until now it has 4 days and she hasn't even bother to call my mom where she is and if she bothers to comes back...it is Christmas after all, the house is so busy...and this is the time she choose to do it-- ONCE AGAIN! Yes, this isn't the first time...ugh...my mom is so mad at her already...not only she abuses the freedom we give her, but she doesn't even bother to inform us if she is coming back or her whereabouts. Oh! She called and talked to one of our maid, and do you know what she said? "I am sick, and I am staying at my boyfriends house" -- Nice excuse, missy! The nerve of that person is just --ugh-- enough!!! My mom wanted to change her already, but it is really hard to find a replacement since not alot of people would desire to be a maid anymore...nowadays, maids are really hard to find, especially those you can trust and count on.

Snow Angel is nearing the end at GMA 7 it is a good series, since I've seen it already, although I disapprove of the ending..it is just too sad and it is like everything they did is for nothing...but that is the wonder of Asian series (excluding the Philippines) except the unexcepted! Jia You!

From a Beauty Queen...

Melanie Marquez Former beauty queen and I think Ms. Universe or something...but she is a world class beauty with a litte um...less on the head. Why? Well, here are just some few amazing words to live by brought to you by yours truly -- Melanie.

Since it is so famous, they even made a vocabulary word for it to mean something, and it is called -- M E L A N I S M S Just For Fun!

- I won't stoop down to my level.
- Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?
- 'Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.
- Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo... Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.
- We are lovers, not fighters.
- My brother is not a girl; he's a gentleman.
- That's why I'm a success, it's because I don't middle in other people's lives.
- Don't judge my brother; he's not a book.
- Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.
- I don't eat meat. I'm not a carnival.
- Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong taon sa inyong lahat. (During her acceptance speech at a Metro Filmfest awards night where her bioflick, directed by her late father Temyong Marquez, won an award.
- Sumasakit ang migraine ko.
- Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!
- Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point. (When asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right.).
- At a talk show after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked if she had some words for Derek's mother (whom she partly blamed for the separation). "Oo nga," said Melanie, "pero i-English-in ko para maintindihan niya." She looked into the camera and, with the peremptoriness of royalty, said, "And to you, Mrs. Dee, I have two words for you. Ang labo mo!"
- When asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused by their houseboy: "Don't worry little angel, big angel is here."
- On what they should do to the houseboy who molested her kid: "He should be put behind bar."
- "You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool me thrice. But you can never fool me four"
- While waiting backstage during a noontime show, after watching Nikki Valdez do her dance number. "Nikki, you're so galing. You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes"


Comments anyone????? You see, not all beauty really has brains...tsk tsk...

She Will Be Loved + Beautiful Soul

Two lyrics and song that has been playing in my windows and in my mind..I can't get over them, they are just songs that touch you so much. Inside and out!





"She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye.


"Beautiful Soul"

[Chorus]
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon lets try

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Gadgets galore...

I've helped my twin brothers in their project, or rather...I made everything for them..I don't why guys are usually lazy about projects or just do whatever they please doing but not putting any effort to it. Well, thank God they have me! (haha...) Because I love doing research and love making them so neat and nice looking...

So the projects title is all about the latest gadgets there is in the market or that will soon come out in the market..and by golly I've seen lots of amazing stuff that are really out of this world and into the new level...some of them includes:

1. Airboard- ever wonder what it feels to fly high in the sky? Okay, not that high, but this airboard will surely take you to places plus or rather minus the traffic that you might encounter along the way. This gadget is way cool I want to have it!

2. A-1 artificial intelligence? - This is the newest humanoid robot made by Honda and once again taking it to the next level, they have improved, further enhance this robot to serve the future of the world! I just hope they won't replace us and take revenge, like the one that happened in I,ROBOT

3. Bowlingual - this is a gadget that would let you know how your dog feels and let you communicate with them. Making life simpler than before? I guess dogs will always be man's bestfriend. Go get one now! It cost around $120

4. La Casa Jacuzzi - yes, now you can watch while bathing and not with the ordinary tv, but this flat screen built in tv in your jacuzzi will surely make you want to stay in the pool...

5. Waterball - childhood memories remind me of waterguns, wherein you kept on refilling to be able to fully wet your opponent, but don't fret because for only $15 you'll be able to fire your opponent at a maximum of 80 times!! Can you believe it? Childhood had never been this fun before!

The Days that went by...

It was Sunday and I woke up early (yeah, a miracle!) but because I got a serious job to do...no, not man hunt...not job hunt either! I was really in an important mission, a mission that might either save or end my life...a shopping mission Bet you didn't know that? (haha..) the bazaar at morning is really a blessing because they usually lower the price if you are the first one to buy...it means you're their buena mano so they give you really affordable price...oh my...thank God I'm going to get money or else I'll go bersek because I lost more than P 3000 in that bazaar! Their are just too many things to buy...with so many time to spare, who needs to rush? Plus, I was really in the mood to shop so I went for it...haha...I love it, this is me...and if anyone wants to say something bad or that I've wasted my money...damn right I did! It is Christmas, time to waste it on yourself rather than some foolish arrogant bitch or ex's!

Next stop (yes, the shopping craze didn't end their) we went to Rockwell mall, I saw lots of famous stars, Dolphy (who I don't think his fashion sense is with Zsa Zsa...he can dress better, or better yet, hire me as a personal dresser for him) He was in all "Air Jordan" attire, from head to toe, all white...ewww...he had three bodyguards who carried loads of things from MANGO, I think he is going to give them as Christmas Present (lucky them!) Next, I also saw Dina (with American boyfriend -- very handsome!) all of the sales people just run out of the store to catch a glimpse of her...crazy fools! I don't think she is that pretty in personal (oh, please don't hold grudge against me if you are a fun of hers. I am just being HONEST!) Also couple Gary and Bernadette in NIke they look cute together plus they look good...yes, both of them, pretty and simple...oh, I spent alot of money their to..thanks to my card or else I really go bonkers! I bought also a new good book...called "CRIPPEN" by John Boyne it is one of the greatest murder ever..I highly recommend it although I haven't read it...oh I'm learning Mandarin again, I bough this interesting book so I'm going to read and learn!

hum...shopping really is an "Expensive" hobby to keep...I don't think I could get over it...darn!

Today, I woke up early too. Why? I went to our office and guard it with my life! Just kidding...my mom and the secretary went to deliver loads of goodies and presents so I was there to handle the calls, orders, etc...it was pretty nice, since it has been while since I really took matters in that office...

Exhausted.

It was a day filled with walking and shopping bags! haha...It was today that I went to Ortigas to find a job, applied at a lot of places and walk thru the heat from miles to miles...but it was fun... why? Because I never did those things, it is a new experience to me...maybe when I get a job I could do it almost always? First stop was the Tektite Tower, I thought there would be lots of offices that I could apply, but we ended up only to have 3 companies...then we move to San Miguel but told us to apply online, then went to Megamall to eat, Teryaki Boy has lots of new delicious dishes...thanks to a friend who went to treat me! Then walk back to the car then went to Galleria walk alot and alot and of course shop!! Yey, I got to buy the shoes and haviannas flash slipper that I have been eyeing for a month but they don't have my size... and drove miles and miles (ugh..my legs are getting mad at me!) Then drove to Rockwell to pick up my sister, and ate at Figaro and bought things (again!)

So there, I max my card again...oh my...wah...this is ruthless...I am in jeopardy...

And so another interview would happen...

Tomorrow I'll go to my first (that was so fast..) interview, which I applied for just yesterday...when I went to Tektite Tower I saw this office for Oliver's Super Sandwich and when I went upstairs, there it was together with 2 other products ... Haagen Daz yum yum...and Max Brenner's the chocolate's are expensive but delicious...So today Mr. Celso called me, he is from Haagen Daz and I am so excited and thankful because I would love to be part of that company. It is international plus delicious! haha..indeed will be an experience, I just hope the benefits and the salary isn't that bad..I'll see to it tomorrow...good luck to me!

Recommended :

1. A box of 4 chocolates cost P 160 -- it is a good price considering the case, the taste, and the luxury of eating a good chocolate!

If this day could get any worst...

I feel so so low today....
I feel so so sad...
Ignorant........
Incomplete......
Inhumane.....

I want to kill someone....
I want to kill myself...
I want to burst out and tell the world "to fuck itself" ....

I don't want to live anymore...
I'm not even in the mood to breathe...
I fucking hate this day....

I hope I can hide...
I wish I wasn't born...
I wish I didn't exist...

I want to cry...
I want to shout...
I want to be mad at the world...
I just want to be free...

I don't want anyone...
I don't care for anyone...
I don't want to live for anyone..
Not even for myself..

I am stupid..
I lack...
I'm selfish,
But so are they...
fucking scumbags...
I want to die...
but they need to die first...
I want the world to end...
I just want to...

Walking can be a burden.

Today I walk almost more than 2-3 kilometers, my feet hurts! Fucking hurts! (okay, forgive me people for swearing for the past two entries--this is so not me--but what is happening to my fucking life is fucking up everything i do!)

On Monday I'll start doing business and be serious about stuff and that will happen next week, no more Ms. Kindy-Kindy...I really want to start working and be productive, so I guess that would be my life's path and way...I just wish I could live up to their expectations and give my best ( i know i will)

You know there are so many things in life we took for granted, things that I know in the future will hunt us, I know I might regret some of my actions, but better regret and accept it than never at all and realize at end what a huge idiot you have been...I have to fix my life, it is FUCKING messy...

Sorry, but to everyone, my friends...i really wish i could tell, but some things are better kept to myself...after all I don't want to drag you down to my fucking life...

People Who Cares...do you have one?

Do you have someone?

In life, we always have the up's and down's...In life, things are just always negative. Right now? I am so negative...I want to be positive because I am always optimistic...but then...*ugh* is all that I can mutter..

Thanks to people to cares and people who also don't, for they both give me strength, although one i value so much, the latter *never mind* them...it is just so stressing to know that people you thought could be there, won't be there...and those you think won't care, will be there...

Enough...I am getting emotional...i cried enough for today....I guess i am just too tired...too tired to fight it over and over...that is why I am just saying it all out in here...

Today was not my day..altough yesterday was...I ate so much I almost crack up! haha...We went to view houses in the morning (finally my dad is thinking about buying a vacation house--opps..home!) then in the afternoon til night it was Celebrity Sports Club, did lots and lots of eating plus bowling (I'm truly a loser on this game) while we wait for my mom to finish watching the concert of Sarah Geronimo and Mark Bautista. Sadly, we didn't won the Chevrolet they are giving that night...but heck, we always loose...haha...I doze off pretty quickly last night, i was truly exhausted from the days that came before...

Today went to the dentist, it was so damn traffic it took us 2 hrs to get there, where it was only supposed to take us 30-45 mins...grr...then after that, more traffic, so we decided to buy some food to chow on! thankfully, we bought somewhere where I like the food because my stomach was already yelling at me! Then went home, then to the bookstore and some small shopping mall..

Tomorrow I was supposed to go to Pasig city for some medical check up for my future work, unfortunately an unexpected thing came up which makes my appointement move to another day...well, that is life...darn it!



GAME LOVERS:

Oh my...I guess lots of people are waiting for the fight of the Christmas season...yup, it is LAKERS vs. HEAT that means, KOBE vs. SHAQ...hum...old team mates turned bitter court rivals. I'm sure this game is worth watching, on December 25!!


FOR THE YEAR TO COME:

Yes, I am not yet earning, but this won't stop me from reading...

"A book of painful and ferocious eloquence." —Robert Hass, Poet Laureate of the United States


Below is a book that I would love to have next year, it will out in Jan 27, 2005 published by penguin.com or view more about it here I think it will definitely be an inspirational book especially to those who always battle against weight...And for those who are conscious of how to appear and look. But this book might as well be an inspiration even to those who don't have the same problem. I think it is an inspirational book...go grab it next year...

Pampering 101

Never leave yourself unguarded...and penniless... Because you might never know what you might desire to do.

That is a fact that happened to me today..I was not expecting to go out but then, heck..I'm so lonely in here..so better get my butt up and kickin'...so I went with my sister and mom....they went to the derma, which left me no choice, but to be alone in the "parlor" and have my pampering...I wasn't preparing to do all of these, but ended up doing...

Here is my pampering 101 that I might continue doing for the next couple years and maybe till my dying days!

1. Manicure
2. Pedicure
3. Footspa
4. Hair Spa
5. Shampoo and Condition
6. Blowdry (you see, the billing is separate for this)
7. Legs wax
8. Underarms wax
9. Eyebrow arch
10. unwanted blackheads remove

Being a girl definitely has some..okay, alot of things...that cost alot! Thankfully it was done in a sports club, where you don't pay but sign, all you got to do is give the tips...

My computer is pissing me..I can't view some sites properly, they just keep blocking me off the site and then close the window without even showing anything from it..HATE it!!

Can anyone tell me the ending of The Outsiders 2 , I was dutifully watching it, until the final episode, which I wasn't aware and I wasn't home to be able to watch it...ugh...I miss the best part......anyone?

Crippen by John Bunyan...very interting book about love, fugitive, doctor, murder...something interesting, I am far from the ending as I am pretty much busy...but the story is really great...story line is smooth flowing, not draggy and the characters brings each moment to life...alot of suspense too!! Murder and mystery is one of my favorite book category and right now, I am indulging in them. I'm also looking forward to reading -- Whiteout and The Last Juror another chick lit is The Hot Flash

It was EXHAUSTING, but FUN!

YESTERDAY Early morning, went out to get my papers...oh my...I never thought that working will make me want to do and process lots of papers. (deep inside, i want to start working to earn...but then...I get bored and kept thinking - next time might be better!) But I finish just in time to go and meet my former layout team in Green and White...we had a blast..took pictures (which I should be uploading by now...) and had drinks, chocolates (thanks to ryan), lunch, chit-chat, and all those things that we miss about each other...It's nice to reminisce those time when I am still studying and not looking for work haha...

After that I drove all the way home because we had a family dinner buffet...it was really exhausting because I was driving mad while in the midst of traffic, damn Philippines really is a "traffic-country" we should be the top 1 for it...i was kinda late (10 minutes late!) haha...but we had a great buffet..i was so full, so walk along the "whatever" you call it, we are joking and fooling around...we are with another family friend together with their cute 6yr old son whom we are so fond of! Then it was a night where I slept easily...

Today was supposed to be the medical day...but it was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances...

So as of now, I am still : unemployed :lol

Christmas Malling...(ur ultimate guide)

One day to go, Christmas na po...

It's the most wonderful time of the year - as the song goes , and definitely it is, with some few minor gliches...

Like:

1. I don't know why I cant view some sites, this damn computer is reckoning my holiday spirit!

2. I'll be munching and definitely going to gain weight this season...

3. I still got a whole major list of things to buy and do.

4. And yes, I am still : Unemployed!

But you got to give it to the song that really this is the season to be jolly!

I still got lots of new or haven't been there malls to go since I'll be stuck here in the Metro:

1. Gateway Mall (built by some hollywood actress according to my aunt, full of upscale stores...cinema is a must try -they have Lazy Boy as your sits, this will cost around P250-300!)
2. Robinsons Place Pioneer (hum...I still haven't heard much commotion from this mall)
3. Market! Martket! (I love to see the fountains, the great shoes and bags that are really in galore here--oh, affordable too!)
4. ATC (yes, I haven't been there)
5. 168 Shopping Mall (talk about the ultimate shopping in cheap prices, this is Divisoria Mall in a more cleaner and upscale, but expect the same great cheap prices!)

Got to re-visit the following:
1. Greenhills Shopping Plaza (Lots of new stores and tiangges that will really fire you up!)
2. World Trade Bazaar (been there twice already, but can't get enough!)
3. Tutuban/ Divisoria (they have upto midnight street sales, prices for jeans go for as low as 100 -- total bargain!)
4. Glorietta (I've been here today and tuesday, but I want to go back to buy more!)
5. Rockwell (they will have tiangge's at night!!! this is till Jan 2 by the way)
6. Robinson Place / Galleria (they got lots of great stuff that sometimes you won't find in other malls)
7. SM (a must, a bag that is as low as P150 -- a dream come true! Plus I found great shoes that are cheaper and nicer than the one on the racks of branded labels - trust me on this!)
8. Landmark (seen this poncho and fell in love, very affordable too...)
9. Eastwood Libis (I love to go back to the salon I've been...and eating there is a great experience since I love the outdoors)

Traffic is really worse in the city..hum..we've been on the road longer than we've been on the mall...darn! I bought a new sweater --grey and kinda bolero in design but long and not short! It wasn't that cheap though so I was kinda..well not disappointed but --actually, nothing -- since I love the piece of clothing...nothing to be ashamed or sorry for...
