what's been up

So the past week we cruised through Manila. No actually we just shopped and met up with friends and partied a bit. Monday we were at Greenplace La Salle (spelling?) area with Kate's friends then Glorietta. Then I honestly don't know we went everywhere the next few days, from Makati to the Fort to vintage shops scattered around the metro. Oh welcome back Cheska! Apparently her dreadlocks were a hit in Kansas haha. So Infamita is still officially complete.

I want to read more books. Lately I've been fascinated with Mario Puzo, sorry I'm late with this whole Godfather thing but I still think reading the book's much better. And Frederick Forsythe definitely. Then I borrowed this huge Chronicles of the 20th Century book from Kuya Grif which I might be able to finish in a year or so haha. And Kate's borrowing Perks of being a Wallflower from Cheska dear, who has a great collection of books by the way. But don't ask me about literary bigwigs because I have no idea, like I can't cite wonderful new authors and stuff because I'm not big on those.

Then there's music. We've been alarmingly leaning towards electronic beats or something hahaha. Not entirely though, but I like Peaches and Ladytron and Mickey Avalon and MIA and stuff. Our playlist is really weird, from SRV then it's gonna be Galang by MIA, then it's gonna be Ella Fitzgerald and Clapton, then Aqualung, then Silverchair, then I don't know who else. Yamagata, Orson, and of course the Salindiwa cd. Which reminds me, Rock Awards this year? Last time we went was two years ago I think, back when Kate was in dreads too and we had tunnel earrings haha. The invites then weren't sold yet, we got free ones when December comes around since Dad's clients are also djs at NU107. Anyway we haven't been going the past few times because I found no reason to head over there, but I don't know maybe it'll be fun this year. The Fete this year was sort of a disappointment to me since the vibe was different from that of El Pueblo, the Jazz Festival was even better plus Kristoffer was with us there (I miss you kiddo! I heard you got to talk with Kate the other night, let us know when you get to Chicago and when you get our itty-bitty surprise haha).

Imman (otherwise known as TomTom) is such a good kid and is learning really fast. He bought Kate a really nice fur vest and got the bag I like and other stuff so we got lots of things when they arrived Friday night. Oh and thank you Caly for the chocolates! She just got back from Hawaii and had a nice tan and was so Topshop today which was cute. Patents are real nice in anything, not too much though.

Oh and my dearest Levina called me up yesterday and she's still in Hongkong but will be back soon. Haha I love you LV! Imagine she's in there and we still talk about makeup, like the amazing mascara she was able to buy haha. Can't wait for you to come back, we shopped for beauty products at Beauty Bar when Mom was gone not knowing she bought lots too so we have new ones here. Which spells out --- makeup fair number two hahaha.

Just head over to my multply, tons of new photos --- sportsfest, friends, etc.


Oh and belated Happy Birthday Ate Lorraine! She brought donuts and we ate before Cantata practice.

Ciao. Proper post sometime in the next few days.
