Spirit Day '09

We had our Spirit Day yesterday which only involved the cheering competition and announcing of winners which was completely boring. But At least we got to take photos!




These are my "Fruits". We named our group as such because of a very random reason. (L-R) Chesca (Banana), Chelsea (Mango), Christell (Orange) and Me (Strawberry). Lately, we started calling each other by our vegetable names this time, LOL. Chesca's a pumpkin, Chelsea's an okra, mine's radish and I forgot Christell's! D:



These are my fabulous classmates. Almost all of the girls curled their hair for no specific reason. We just felt like it. Haha! <3



Now this a solo portrait of me with my uber curly hair that was done by an awesome friend named Jessica. LOL. Make-up is by yours truly. <3

Hello! Back in Blogspot for the nth time.

Hey everyone! So I'm back in Blogspot - once again. I sorely miss blogging here. D: I enjoyed Tumblr and Twitter so much. Haha!

Anyway, I've been thinking about a lot of things lately. Especially about school and college plans. So yeah I'll just update as much as possible. As promised, I will post new stuff in here like make-ups, clothes, accessories and anything that is made of awesome.

Love,
Nico

Oh my my.

So sad here in the Philippines. :( as we all know, we are currently dealing with the aftermath of the very unpredictable typhoon, Ondoy (or Ketsana). Houses of countless people, devastated. Even the lives of some of their loved ones, gone. Even though my family and I weren't actually affected by the flood (since our house is on a high land that is very impossible for the floods to fill up), as an individual (and as a Filipino thereof) I am really trying my best to cooperate in helping the people that were victimized by the typhoon.

As of today, I helped out in cleaning the clinics and offices in the UERM Hospital that were submerged in the flood during the day when Typhoon Ondoy was at it's worst. My aunt's secretary told me about a video that a student uploaded in YouTube. Watch it here:


UERM flood incident - September 26, 2009.

The woman who went on top of her car is a friend of my aunt (they’re both physicians at UERM). Good thing the guards were able to rescue her. :(

I really, really thank God that we weren’t there during the flood incident - to think my aunt usually goes to UERM at 7:30 in the morning everyday. :O


--------


My past posts from my Tumblr:

September 27, 2009:
It’s so sad here in the Philippines due to the sudden Typhoon Ondoy. Many houses got destroyed as well as the lives of many helpless people. I had my own Ondoy experience yesterday. It was only 8AM when we got out of the house since my aunt needed to check on her patients so she can discharge them already. By arriving at Philcoa, Commonwelath, We wondered why the cars weren’t moving only to find out that the flood was so deep already that no car can actually pass through it. My aunt received calls from numerous people telling her about the situation of the flood inside the hospital which was already filling up the first floor (all the important documents are stored on that floor). The thing that shocked us was that the wall dividing the (Sta. Mesa) river and the hospital’s compound suddenly broke down (for the first time in 50 years!). Hence, the water from the river added to the flood inside the hospital which definitely made it worse since the water nearly got up to the second floor. Geez. Thankfully most of the patients are safe. But when we visited the hospital earlier, it was really terrible - All the clinics on the frist floor got destroyed, as well as all the parked cars from yesterday (we were also told yesterday that all those cars were floating in the parking lot! Really scary). I did get to take a photo of the place using my phone’s camera but I still can’t manage to fix our PC’s USB D: will upload it once I get to fix this minor problem of mine. :/

Please, PLEASE pray for all those who got affected by the Typhoon Ondoy. And if you can, please do donate old clothes, foods, money, etc. to those who are in dire need of our help due to the destruction. :(

Added the photos last September 28. Yes, I was able to fix the USB!
*This re-post is also for my mom who was complaining the other day about the incomplete loading of the photos. Haha!


UERM Hospital yesterday (September 27) - these cars are the ones that were floating in the parking lot the day when the Typhoon was at its worst.



The wall collapsed! D: First time in 50 years according to many emloyees. Such a waste. :(




Still looking for stuff to donate; Please do donate as well. A lot of Filipinos are in dire need of help :(



--------


Also from my Sept. 27 Tumblr entry:

After visiting the hospital, my aunt and I decided to go shopping for a while at Trinoma. I bought a new liquid eyeliner and shimmer lip gloss from Prestige. My aunt also got herself a new red lipstick from the same brand.


Best eyeliner for me. <3



I love it’s shimmering effect on my lips. Also, I definitely love the menthol feeling I get when I apply it. <3


Anyway, I’m really thinking of creating a fashion blog soon. Fashion blogs have become one of my obsessions lately. I’ll probably create one once I graduate high school (which is next year already). Haha!

Will go to bed now. Songs by ROUND TABLE feat. Nino inspired me and made me feel tomorrow will be a new day without any worries of being stranded again for 5 hours on the road. Sigh. Typhoons begone! D:

I just can't think of a good title!

LONG WEEKEND! No classes on Monday. HURRAH! This is the life. HAHAHA

Anyway, been busy for the past few weeks mainly with school works. SIGH. Gladly, my grades are doing well. Hopefully I won't get a low mark on my report card this year.

So, September is near. September = ACET (Ateneo College Entrance Test) month. Hopefully I won't get too nervous on the day of the exam. I need to be calm and optimistic so, help me God. XD But if I don't pass Ateneo, I still have UST (which, I think, will be pretty much harder keeping up with their lessons). But I do really wish for the best next year - passing Ateneo that is. HAHA! Christmas is near as well! My list ain't really full this year, though. SIGH. I just hate it when poverty strikes. And oh, which one should I pick? A new digital camera or a Nokia E71? I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF OPINIONS. D: Also, after graduating this March, I might get a new MacBook. Life is so sweet. :>

Anyway, been exfoliating my skin lately. I just love good face care products! I'm planning to buy a good BB cream and foundation soon. Recommend a good one? :)

Oh, I really recommend the new Neutrogena Wave to everyone! It's really effective! Even with not enough sleep, you'll face will still look awesome the next day! I love it to bits! Go buy now. :3


Lazy outfit to church - didn't have much time to choose my clothes (again!).
This is actually my aunt's skirt!! HAHA! And an Anne Klein hooded cardigan. Platform wedges are from T and the necklace is from my aunt as well. <3
As you can see I'm trying to sport a new hairdo, which totally looks major fail. XD Will be fixing my hair sooner or later. Also, I'll dye my hair this Monday! Oh joy. <3

I want to go shopping. Sigh. Hopefully I can buy a new top or dress tomorrow. Or maybe even shoes 'cause I'm also in desperate need of new awesome shoes.

Graduation photo shoot is coming up! OH NOES. D: I really need to go on a diet this week.

Speaking of photo shoots, I've been planning to have a photo shoot sometime this December. I'M SO WISHING FOR AN AWESOME BLACK AND WHITE THEMED SHOOT! Will be scouting for new models to add to my collection of pretty faces! *u* <3

Death toll?

What's up with the year 2009? Too many deaths happening lately. And what's with the popular people dying!? It's just so creepy. :( Always pray for your safety, folks.

Adam Goldstein, popularly known as DJ AM, may you rest in peace. :(

Jessica's 16th Birthday Party

*Originally from m Tumblr: http://genkiniji.tumblr.com/


My classmate/bitch for 2 years; awesome girl. :)She turned 16 last August 18! *insert wild applause here* HAHA! We love you, Jess. May you have more gaga-ful birthdays to come. Hee <3


We watched Disney Pixar's Up earlier. It was awesome! Very touching as well. Haha! After that, we had dinner at Peri-Peri Grill House in Promenade, Greenhills. Best grilled chicken ever!

Actually, this is my first time to hang out with my classmates. I usually hang out with my 3 best friends since forever. HAHA! But I'm really glad I had a good time with them earlier. Too bad I wasn't able to stay much longer! Darn curfew. :|


Kass, Jean, Me, Andre (4B misses you!), Marilag and Tonette. This was taken after our studio picture taking. XD I look so wasted the whole day because I wasn't able to choose my outfit and as usual, I had a VERY bad hair day.

Oh, today was actually our last day of exams. My gosh, Math was surprisingly EASY! I can't assure myself with a passing grade in the exam but honestly speaking, comparing the Math lessons we had for the past 2 years, this year is the easiest. I swear it is. French exam was a killer. Imagine, we had to answer 3 types of tests earlier!? We had to answer two long quizzes and quarter exam all at once! My brain nearly exploded - literally. :/


Karaoke. No, we're not drunk. We just look like it. HAHA

Thanks to the paparazzi: 4B boys' Kayne, Julian and Joshua. Whee <3 HAHA! You guys make an awesome set of obsessed paparazzi. Really. XD They couldn't stop taking loads of shots while birthday girl was singing a while ago! The flashes nearly blinded me - literally. These are some of the paparazzi shots:


The night ended too early - well, for me. HAHA!

I really enjoyed the gimmick. I never thought hanging out with my own classmates can be this so much fun (I know I'm too stupid to not know that before). I will absolutely go with them on their next hang out. It will depend on my other friends though but hopefully I can manage it.

Anyway, enough parying, haha! Back to reality.

As promised, after the exams I'll be continuing my workout routine once again (yay me). Hopefully the second quarter won't be so hectic anymore. I'm so preoccupied with college entrance exams nowadays and to add to that, we will be having our NCAE (National College Assessment Examination) this Wednesday (Aug. 26, 2009) and mock test will be on Monday already. WHY. D:

I really hope for the utter best this 2010. I really want to pass either BFA Information Design in Ateneo or BS Architecture in UST. But honestly, I really want to pass Ateneo - dream school since forever, I must say. Haha!

Life is boring without fandoms. I know you guys can relate to me as well. I can't stand a boring weekend without something to fangirl on. Hence, I downloaded Nodame Cantabile last week. I know it's an old J-drama but I really want to watch it because I liked the anime version. It's so adorable. <3 Also, I've been addicted to 2NE1, Big Bang and Wonder Girls (on-off fandom) nowadays. I can't stop repeating their songs over and over again! XD

Just rememembered now, I can now play Crisis Core and Tekken on my PSP again! And no classes tomorrow! AWESOME! XD

Will be updating again later on.

Bonsoir tout le monde! :)

A day out with Maggie

Spent half of the day with Maggie earlier. :D I miss her so much! I really thought I was dreaming since seeing her again after such a long time is really, really shocking. XD She looked so different! Prettier I must say :> Her hair's better than ever. Haha!



As usual we talked about personal stuff and whatnots. LOL. Window shopped as well. But as usual, I'm broke. Maggie bought a new Zara top (under P1000) which I love so much (I'm thinking of buying it as well within this week! XD). Also, saw this super pretty skirt for only P1350. I must go back next Sunday. Saw this pretty denim dress at Topshop *u* but yeah I still have to go on a diet because I look silly in it :( SIGH. I must cut the rice ASAP~! :|


Aw, last photo together. :( The first two photos are at around 1:30-ish and the last is our last photo together which was around 4:15PM. XD


She'll go back to Denmark on the 30th. :( I'll really miss her. Hopefully she can come back next year. HOPEFULLY. D:


I'm sick and at the same time I don't know how to organize my schedule for school and reviews. I want to take the UPCAT already! My exam will be on August 2. I'm really looking forward to it since I really want to experience the difficulty of the exam. XD

My insomnia's gone for a while now. Maybe it's because I don't drink coffee too much nowadays XD I can sleep at a maximum of 7 hours already! I love it!

Tomorrow's another busy day--- project making for Physics. I'll be at Promenade, Greenhills with my group mates. 8D
See you when I see you, lol. XD

Latest post. Welcome me for I am back in the cyber world!

O HAI EBERIWAN. I IS BACK!
Lmao. Lolcats pwns bigtime! XDDD

Anyway, been busy for the past few weeks. Teh cyber world is sorely missed. I've been studying for our current lessons lately and at the same time, I'm also studying for our upcoming college entrance exams. SIGH. Busy days are so busy. As I always say, I don't have the time to sit anymore! D: Also, my schedule is so full. :| Though, I really like it when I'm busy :3 But tomorrow, I'm out malling again. Wait no, not necessarily malling. Will be at Starbucks for the whole day tomorrow. Or yeah window shopping with Maggie (she's finally back from Denmark! Only for a vacation though T_T).


So it was our Acquaintance Party last July 3. Not good. The theme was "Singing in the Rain" so we had to dress up in raincoats and rain boots. :/ But as usual, a lot of students deviated from the rules again. It was prohibited to wear black but they still did. Sigh. As for me, I just wore a simple bright yellow raincoat and brought my P85 transparent mini umbrella. :D I shall share some photos:


Me with our beloved adviser, Mr. Sangco! ♥



with Tonette and Jessica.



with my dearest sister Chesca (who looks so different in this photo). ♥



with my dearest Poop XD Her ugly name is Chelsea. LMAO XDDD I love her to bits.



with my ugliest best pal, Christell. Very ugly. Ugh. Her face literally burns my eyes! @__@ HAHAHAHA! We call each other ugly 'cause we both really are. :>



with "big-eyed beauty" Jessica. XD


Sigh. That was our LAST Acquaintance Party already. D: AND WE DIDN'T ENJOY IT! :|


Chesca celebrated her birthday blowout earlier at SM Megamall. REALLY FUN! XD
We watched HP6 and it was simply awesome. Story's meaning is deep, though. XD I want to read the book! (I don't usually read HP books. I know. Boo me. XD)

I will not type about my thoughts for the movie since I have a LOT to say about it. And I'm sleepy so I'll just share some photos again~ XD


SNACK! This is Cerealiscious' "Pirates of the Cadbury-Ean". It's mucho delicioso! XP

restroom, after watching HP6. LOOKIE! I'M TALLER THAN THEM!!! *tip toe-ing fail*



Awww. Love my FRUiTS very much. ♥



Byee ♥



This is actually a VERY incomplete entry. :( I still have to type something about the sudden death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. :( He will be truly missed. Can't get over the sad news 'til now. T__T

I must sleep. Brain won't function tomorrow if I don't. LOL. G'night all!

school + tumblr + back on twitter + karma freeze in plurk

School.
Hectic schedule is very hectic. :|
I love being busy, though! HAHA!

So Chesca finally attended school earlier. *u* Snack and lunch time was so fun! XD

Anyway, earlier, we had our regular lectures already. Physics was just reviewing the basics and also in the other subjects. We had our Dale Carnegie again in English! We had to associate our name with a (famous) person and discuss the traits we both have in common. So mine was American country singer, Nicolette Larson. From what I read from her biography, she loved writing her thoughts into songs. She expresses her feelings through songs while I do the same with my photography. And we both love country music as well! Haha! Thankfully I had a good score. :P


Tumblr.
Jessica made me join. LOL XD

Hello, my tumblr.

Up and running in Twitter.
I'm more active in Twitter these days: http://twitter.com/genkiniji
Care to follow me? :3

Plurk.
I freezed my karma due to busy school days. :)
I'll be VERY active again in Plurk during the sembreak. :D

Sigh. Tomorrow will be a very busy day for me. I might also call a review center and schedule for my exam review already. I'M SO LATE :(

Okay, I have to rest now. Goodnight, World.

photoshoot + school

So we had a photoshoot last Saturday (June 20). It was really fun since after a long time of not having a decent photoshoot, and after a long time of not seeing each other, we gladly came up with great photos *u*

I posted everything at my deviant art: http://genki-niji.deviantart.com/



This is Justine (left) and Christell (right). Justine aka Kyoko to many of you, as you all know, she's my very first model (she cosplayed Enma Ai in our dec '07 shoot) and this is my newest model, Christell. She's a close friend of mine. :) See more photos of her in the future! *u*



This be me applying Christell's make-up. I love my messy hair but I think I look silly here. Lol :P Taken by hair stylist, Chesca. Hee *o*



This is Jessica, also one of my newest models :) She's also my classmate! Haha! ♥
She's a great model as well! :)



And lastly, this be Chesca 8D my "sister". We've been close friends for YEARS now. HAHA! ♥

And... DUN DUN DUN...!



Lunch at Teriyaki Boy! This is their oh-so-yummy Katsudon Curry Rice. YUMMM
Also, we watched Drag Me To Hell that day. Gah. So freakin creepy. HAHA!

So that's it for the photoshoot. You can see loads of pictures at my dA gallery! :)

***

SCHOOL.

SWINE FLU.

COLLEGE.

Do I need to say more!? D: IT'S STRESS I TELL YOU.
I'm so stressed out with college applications and college entrance exams! I don't what to prioritize first! Ugh. I still have to enroll in a review center since college entrance exams will be this August-September already. And the applications must be submitted early as well! D:

So right now, I have to stop blogging and get to studying. SIGH. Statistics must be understood. LOL

'Til next time!

Friday, June 19, 2009

I want to make another post! ♥

Plugging Chesca's & Jes' Blogspots again 8D

Also, Jess showed me a lot of blogs today XD From fashion to fun blogs. HAHA!
This the "My Milk Toof" blog. It's really funny and oh-so-cute! XD

On an unrelated note, I feel like doing a vlog someday. Thing is, I don't know what to vlog about. Haha! I will think of a unique vlogging reason. LOL. Maybe make-up tutorials? Hmm.

Anyway, my insomnia's getting better. I can now sleep for at least 4-5 hours. Sigh. But still, I can't wait to buy a good concealer 'cause my eyebags are quite terrifying to look at. -__-

So tomorrow, we'll finally have the photoshoot. I will definitely post a lot of photos! XD and to add to that, I have 3 lovely models tomorrow so please wait for the photos! There will be a lot of outtakes too I think *u* Hopefully there won't be any complications. +__+



****
Edit:



I love my aunt for buying me Taylor Swift's Fearless album today.♥
Also, she finally exchanged her Blackberry Storm for a new iPhone 3G! 8D Now I don't have any problems if I want to watch something on YouTube at night. Haha!

Stuck at home.

Sigh. I was supposed to go to Ateneo, UST, DLSU and CSB with Chelsea today :| but since the people here are majorly ignorant, I am left alone at home without a f*cking car. SIGH. And Chelsea's not replying already! XD No load again I guess. Whenever I have load, she runs out of load. Great. Mmhmm.

SO ANYWAY. Talking to Jess right now and I love her for sharing this shoe blogger's blog: http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/
I so love her blog <3 AND SHE HAS LOOKBOOK! *u* Sigh I wish I can have lookbook invites. But yeah my style isn't that good. T_T
Also, I'm looking at Sasaki Nozomi's blog: http://ameblo.jp/sasaki-nozomi/ she's the best looking Japanese model for me *o* she's also my role model~ hee.

My To-Do List is quite full again today. SIGH. I want to go out this afternoon (well, if the car arrives by then) 'cause my name stickers are still incomplete and I still have to cover my books. -__-; And OMG I still have to enroll in a tutorial center ASAP! :O I tried reviewing the Math Proficiency Test in my MSA textbook last night but ended up sleeping. FAIL. *A*

I promise to update a very decent entry sometime soon! D:
I just want to share the blogs I'm looking at right now. LOL

Edit:

I shall share some of my school stuff *u*


The Kipling bag I wanted since second year HS. LOL. I just love Kipling bags! Especially in red <3


Hello Kitty pencil case! Haha! I also have a Hello Kitty ruler inside~ *o*

Then lastly, my name sticker!


This is a set of 3 different designs, though. I still have to buy more (but in a different design again).

LOL. Sorry for the grainy photos. -__-;

PS
PHOTOSHOOT TOMORROW!! <33333

PPS
Jess rejoined Blogspot! XD ---> http://jespop.blogspot.com/
And Chesca finally joined Blogspot as well!!! ----> http://daintynails.blogspot.com/

Screw Blackberry.

Hate it. My aunt should just get the iPhone 3G or patiently wait until the new iPhone 3G S comes out. Gahh.

So anyway, went to the mall today to buy some name stickers 8D they had it in Hello Kitty designs so obviously I went crazy and it took me 15 minutes just to choose what's the best design, lol. But I think it's not that pretty because of the font and color of my name *tears*. I shall buy another set of HK stickers for my notebooks! *__*

A very "decent" outfit for the day:


Honestly, I'm satisfied with my body right now. I just need to tone my arms and legs. Sigh. I still need to watch what I eat for... approximately 5 months. :O I aim to be anorexic. LOL. Kidding. *o* But seriously, when I turn 18, my aim is to buy clothes from children's store. Sounds creepy right? XD I don't know why but I love dressing up in a little girl's clothes. But yeah my body's still huge for that so, I have to wait for my body to shrink. Lol

'Til the next update! I'm tired. Ugh. And I still have to fix my stuff for school.

Starting Anew--- Finally.

Hello, everyone. I'm back again for the 4958690402658679 time. HAHA!

But seriously, I'm in desperate need of a blog. I'm currently experiencing a great deal of sadness these days. Sadly, most of them are personal problems and I can't share it here. Sigh. It was my 16th birthday last June 4 and it was the worst. Thankfully I've put aside my oh-most-dramatic thinking that time and reflected on the incident for 3 days. I really think I deserve to be miserable, though. :/

So anyhow, school's near and I'm still incomplete with my supplies. Ugh. I still need name labels, new rubber shoes (well, not so sure about that) and specs. Geez. Also, I'm so preoccupied with my college admissions! I read testing tips the other night and checked different university sites for their undergraduate programs to look for my desired course, but it didn't help me calm down. ARGH! I want to pass Ateneo but it seems impossible. I wasn't able to take review classes last summer so I'm totally not prepared for it. T__T Hopefully, my aunt will allow to me to enroll in a tutorial center before the test comes. A friend told me it's easier that way since the lessons will still be fresh in your mind so you won't have that much problems during the testing day. Hope that works! :S

About my title, I thought of starting anew this year because I think it's time to get down to serious business since it's only a few months before our college entrance tests. Yay. Good luck to me. :|

What I'm excited for this month is our photoshoot :) I've scheduled a photoshoot this Saturday (June 20th) and asked 4 of my friends to model a specific theme for me. Hee. I can't wait! Speaking of photoshoots, I checked for new lenses and tripod at the Canon store yesterday. As usual, I can't afford the lenses. But I think I should buy the 50mm f/1.8 II and the 430EX Speedlite first. I asked my maid if she can go to Hidalgo, Quiapo to check for cheaper lens there as well. Hope they can sell the 10-22mm 20% (or more) off the price! :P

Sigh. Hopefully I can go back to my optimistic self right before classes starts.
