Happy Wednesday to all! It's a holiday have a great time.

I admit that I am one of those people that go to omegle to ask strangers stupid questions. Usually, they just leave the conversation but there are some out there who make my day.

 CAUTION: It's not censored.

~Photo of the Day: Spectator just got pwnd~ 

~Confusing~

~i <3 u~

LOL. Yes, I am the worst spectator on omegle because I do ask stupid questions. I rarely go on video or chat, I just like seeing what people's reaction will be.

I hate working on papers... ESPECIALLY if it's some case analysis.

Awesomeness on the works,
AnaRay

i'm busy. very busy. damn damn damn. i'm busy. damn busy.

November 29, 2011

I want to show you all a little something.

~Photo of the Day: Bobble~

TA-DAH! It's to make it more personalized and no one else can have it. She looks like a "Bobble" to me.

I feel so free today. Like, I could just lie down on my bed and just chill. This is coming from a girl who has only two weeks left 'til the end of the term. Basically, all the stuff that I have to do it's more or less done or something and I just wanna feel that it's almost over and Christmas will just be around the corner.

Tomorrow, I'll be tackling all my requirements but that isn't what's important right now.

Because, I just have to tell you guys that Asian movies really make me feel what the characters feel. I watched this movie earlier titled, My 11th Mother. God, I think I cried a handful of times. And, I never cry when I watch movies, it was so sad, frustrating, sweet and all the drama just wrapped into one movie. Don't read the next part if you plan to watch the movie: it does not have a happily ever after. But, they also make me laugh. I remember watching Sophie's Revenge, a chick-flick, everyday for the week it was shown on TV.

I rarely watch movies on HBO and StarMovies but I keep on wasting my time on Red Channel, and telenovelas on KBS World.

Asian much? A bit...

i know my art is very toon-ish

November 28, 2011

Today was the first and last day of the shoot.

~Photo of the Day: Scene 1 - Professor~

Yes, as our finals for Art class we had to produce a music video using a classical piece that was assigned to us. And, from a bunch of papers, our leader ended up pulling out the classical violin piece of A. Bazzini's Round of the Goblins/Dance of the Goblins. I am not the star of this music video but I come out on a lot of different and random scenes. So, up there is one of my characters, an art professor teaching a bunch of students.

Then again, I am a random student along with others trying to encourage a fellow student to vote at the upcoming elections. Or, something like that. If you're from La Salle, then you know that the four colors represent two teams.

Lastly, that's me the little girl in black exiting the 18th floor. All of this took place in the span of I think two or more hours and needing a hell of a lot of change in scenes because the storyline demanded it. We did a lot of running, I had to do three costume changes because I'm the only girl to be seen in the video. In order to show that I'm not just one person I had to portray three persons with three costumes.

~My thinking shocked face aka the WTH?~

After, all that shooting. I still had my speech class and I was lucky enough to be one of the people to debate already so my topic is listed as number 1. And, I belonged to the opposition side, who won? Results aren't out 'til next week.

The most tiring Monday of this term,
AnaRay

i think i just heard my back snap

November 27, 2011

My mother just called me ugly... well, not really.

You see, whenever we talk at the dinner table, it gets as random as it gets. And, naturally we go to talking about how I have a nonexistent love life and my brother does, how my brother looks good and I don't, and lastly, the back in my day from my parents. You think it would be all smiles, well it usually is but sometimes it gets personal. I don't tell them because well... I dunno. I happen to have the tendency to be pushed over, and I don't care? Well, I do yet I don't do anything about it.

SO! How the hell does your mother call you unpretty in a helpful way. My mom just said it like this, keep in mind that she is totally honest...

Me: Bakit si Luis laging nasasabihan ng gwapo? Ako hindi.
(Why do people always think Luis is handsome? And, me never.)
Mom: Eh, mag-ayos ka kasi. Anong gusto mo natural ka lang?
(Learn to fix yourself. Do you want to just go natural?)
Luis: Hindi nga ako nag-aayos eh.
(I don't fix myself.)
Me: Oo.
(Yea.)
Mom: laughs Kung hindi makuha sa natural kunin mo sa scientific.
(If you can't get it naturally, get it scientifically.)
Me: Scientific o Cosmetic?
Mom: Pareho.
(Both.)

Ouch.

Okay, point to my mom. I rarely do fix myself up because I like feeling comfortable. I hate wearing clothes that do look fashionable but I have to pull up the neckline or wear layers just so I could feel comfortable. I don't like make up because I have a feeling that I'll be allergic or something. I like simplicity, you know... It's easy, comfortable and it's me.

P.S. I LOVE MY MOM. But, she's gonna hate me if/when she reads this.

Here's what I'll do. I promise to try to fix myself. Define fix: the whole package including make-up, fashionable clothes, moisturizers and lotions (I hate doing these 'cause they feel sticky), and my hair (my mom always told me to brush my hair a thousand times but I always stop at fifty). Yeap, I'm eighteen and, I know I should have started this when I hit like sixteen or so.

Props to bubzbeauty from YouTube because I took her no make up make up tutorial.

~Photo of the Day: Not my Style~

GAAAH, this is so not my style. From the shirt, to the hair to the make up... Really, I don't do this often.

Trying to be pretty,
AnaRay

just like her i wanna be pretty, don't lie to my face 'cause i know i'm ugly

November 26. 2011

My fingers hurt.

~Photo of the Day: Guitar Learning Stuff~

As I will now share with all of you, I am really planning on making good with these guitar lessons because there are certain songs I wanna learn how to play like 2NE1's Lonely, the way it just plays it's so sad... but it's so awesome. And, I wanna learn silly songs like from Mamma Mia and yea...

Okay, so having the idea to pursue playing a guitar didn't come out of the blue... Believe it or not, it came from Youtube, I've always watched the guys from YTF, Kina Grannis, but the one who made me really want to have lessons was Sungha Jung. Look him up, he plays it really good. Like... O.O

~Reaching for A chord~

But, before getting there I have to practice. My brother is also practicing his saxophone since he wants to play a full piece before Christmas I think.

I had a piece of wedding cake and found the "fortune" stuck in it. I've researched and it's actually called a cake pulls(?) or wedding pulls(?). Long story short, you pull it out of the cake and read your fortune. And I got this... cute right?

~Something's in my piece of cake~

I hope this fortune thingy does NOT lie to me. Oh god... I sound fu-nking desperate. But, I'm not... well, I think I'm not. Gah! Shutting up.

Just letting the guitar do whatever,
AnaRay

cupcakes. cakes. cookies. CHRISTMAS!!!

After spending spending a thousand pesos for coffee... It's HERE!

~Photo of the Day: Cherry Starbucks Planner 2012~

Yes, I spent around one thousand thirty five pesos (1,035.00) to get this planner. So now, all I have to do is wait for December so I can start writing on the dates. I like it, it's much simpler and easier to bring around than that of my older ones but it's 'cause those were really festive in design.

The reason why I invest so much on these things is because I really like making lists. You all know the kinds like to-do list, shopping lists... and all them. And, it gives me a lot of space to draw stuff around it. I'm actually planning on carving the wood part with some tic tac toe, or my name, just something to personalize it even more.

On the other hand, tomorrow will be my second day of guitar lessons and, I promise to bring my camera. I'm trying to play Jingle Bells, which honestly sound awful because I'm so slow and I keep on messing up but... at least I'm practicing, right?

My hair looks like a pineapple!

... Well, at least I think it does.

Playing with my hair,
AnaRay

November 24, 2011

And, I thought I was gonna be really bored today.

The following pictures and video came from my first class. We rarely have these kinds of exercises because it's usually a bit more on the reporting and watching a movie. So yea, lucky enough I had the camera with me and boom! The goal is to have the highest, sturdiest and most creative tower made purely of paper. The first one is from our group and it's really sturdy!

~Photo of the Day: Sturdiest Tower: Leaning Tower of Hershey's~

I'm very proud to say that I belong in this class. It takes away all the seriousness of the other college classes like accounting. Oh, all the other groups,

~People's Choice: Fallen Tower of Wasabi~

~Most Creative: Man Sculpture of Perfect Package~

~Tallest Tower: Chicboy~

Then, as usual I have my speech class. And look at the topic for the debate....

~The topic for today?~

And, the debate teams to face-off...

~Face-off!~

LOL. None of them could take the debate seriously. It sounded so Disney-esque when they were answering stuff like "Be yourself" and stuff. The girls didn't have it easy as well, they're statement was... I think... You can find true love online. They were like, daaamn. Me? Well, I'm their judge. Mwahahaha!

Rolling with the punches,
AnaRay

when I'm with you, life is bumpy like a roller coaster ride...

November 23, 2011

One of the best days ever.

Ever since I graduated high school, I wanted to have three things: my own laptop, a guitar I could play and my own bookshelf. I can now proudly say that I have all three! WOOOOH! I shall introduce to you my lovelies. Bookcase is obviously the bookcase. But, my guitar's name will be... GRR. Meaning Gypsy Rose Ray, Gypsy Rose is the brand name of the guitar.

~Photo of the Day: Genie just granted my three wishes!~

Also, remember that painting I was doing yesterday? It's finished (well, it needs a bit of a touch up but it's finished)!!! All thanks to my awesome groupmates who had amazing ideas to make the painting more creative and it will really grab your attention... hopefully. We all had fun painting it except when our leader, Iyne, accidentally had a bloody red streak cross to the yellow highlights. Thank God, another groupmate of ours was able to fix so, claps for Jia.

~Leader Iyne~

After painting for three hours... I'm still wondering why it took us three hours because there were eight of us painting... we all went our separate ways because it was essentially done.

~Just needs some touching up~

But, my day wasn't over since my dad enrolled me to have guitar lessons. I know, I just had to act on it when everything else is a bit stressful but I BELIEVE that music can de-stress a person 'SPECIALLY if it's classical. So yea, I chose classical guitar lessons meaning songs like Romance de Amour and amazing shi-... stuff like that.

I was to entranced by having the lesson that I spaced out on taking a picture of me actually doing it. T_T But, next time I will take a picture and my brother will be "with" me, he has "lessons" ( I put these "" things because he already knows how to play he just needs someone to clean up and stuff) before me around 3-ish. Mine's at five so yea... I have to wait for him

I had such a great day. That, I don't mind that I've missed half of Glee. I'm no Glee fan but their songs that are like mash-ups? Yea, awesome.

Trying to reach the different frets on the guitar,
AnaRay

listening to a guitar cover by Sungha Jung.

also learning Jingle Bells.

The date today is so cute. 11/22/11

I got a surprise from my dad!

~Photo of the Day: Big McFlurry?~

Today is one of those days wherein time moves so slowly but you're having a great time, and I don't want it to end. Our group won in the game show that our fellow Bible Studies classmates made, and we are expecting our prizes on Friday! Thanks to our awesome teammate who shouts out lucky guesses. WOOOH!

Also, I got to catch up with Jeth and Louie for some cake lovin'. Yuuuum. Just one cup of Starbucks away from my 2012 planner. Yay!

See, I felt like painting. And, I felt as if it was for a really long time because I have the slight inclination to reach "perfection" so it takes a long time for me to be happy with a certain color. So yea, I worked on it for two hours and there isn't much change from the painting.

I look weird when I paint. -____-

Look! A surprise guest.

~Luis has a mustache???~

My brother is complaining about chest hair. He's looking at his chest... right now. -_____-

Whuuut?

i know life is a mystery. i'm gonna make history

November 21, 2011

I just hate impromptu speeches when it's about a company I do NOT work for.

~The company our team reported on~

~Photo of the Day: Payback on USANA~

Today was payback time. Our professor allowed us to be the one throwing out the questions because only a few of us attended the class. That's because, when you're done giving out your speech you're no longer required to attend the other times, unless it's a new kind of speech.

I should also tell you that the speech laboratory is on the 14th floor (13th really, but because of Feng Shui and the whatnot) and it's at the other side of the block. My next class, which I have ten minutes to get to or else I'm late, is at the other side on the 3rd floor.

My point is... this is my only form of exercise. I'm too lazy, and too busy to go to gyms and the pool at home is so inviting yet I never have the time to do laps.

Doing everything at once,
AnaRay

papers... suck.

November 20, 2011

Basically, this post will just be about a little restaurant in the south.

~Photo of the Day: Steakout: Sizzling House~

It's actually really good, considering the price and all. I mean, if you serve me a grilled something on a sizzling plate well, it's gonna be good 'cause I know it'll be hot for a long time. And, I can't exactly say "no" to steak, and food's good.

Plus, they have these cheese sticks that had jalapenos in them. I hate spicy food, anything that's considered "hot", I stay away from it. Because, my taste buds are really sensitive to spicy food and I never seem to achieve immunity from it. So, I worked really hard to get most, if not all, of the jalapenos out of the cheese stick.

We ate here with the whole household and I was telling our maid to copy the food. Because, she can really copy anything she had tasted, even better when my mom's the one preparing. And so, I'm expecting maybe steaks for Christmas?

That's it. I posted this one late because I was giving Laptoppy a break. I've been using him the whole day and so he deserved a break.

Writing the next post,
AnaRay

i am closer to my dreams... well, hopefully.

November 19, 2011

I just came back from watching Breaking Dawn.

~Breaking Dawn movie poster~

I'll say that it is a little bit better than the others, in my opinion. But, way too much on the romantic scenes. I can't exactly love those kinds of scenes 'cause I feel like they should be kept private. I do get why they showed those scenes, I just don't like watching too much of it. Yet, I have to say that I liked the outfits that Kristen Stewart wore, those were cute.

~Photo of the Day: Soderno~

The movie ended at ten-ish and we were heading to Cafe Breton where they made the best crepes. We didn't end there actually instead we got to Soderno at Molito. I love food very much but some of the things there are a bit overpriced. I can't complain much since it was a bazaar.

Today was a good day considering I got home at one in the morning.

Calming down the tummy,
AnaRay

November 18, 2011

Every time I post here it seems like I'm advertising for Starbucks.

~Photo of the Day: Snowman Cookie~

The truth is, I don't drink coffee... much.

Whenever I drink a tall cup of coffee-based drinks or espresso, I don't fall asleep for a whole day. And that leads me to... a dead end. I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop today.

What's a good topic?

Christmas! Oh my god, I can't believe I've never talked about Christmas...

Christmas is my favorite time of the year because... it's like... the Superman of all Holidays. It's not about the presents part. I think it's because people are happy, and they can't help it. I don't know what holiday you're having, may it be Christmas, Hanukkah or another, I just hope that all of you are preparing for it.

Here at home, we celebrate Christmas at midnight because of the midnight food. Yum. My only wish is that we have the round ball of cheese, Queso de Bola(?). Leche flan too...

I hope that this Christmas, I will get the one present that would mean so much to me. So, Santa Baby, could you please pass my quali for me? Because last Christmas, my professor failed me on my class. Hopefully, history will not repeat this year.

Can't I have that one thing?

Life of a bum,

AnaRay

one more week and i'm getting that planner!

November 17, 2011

How awesome is a double rainbow?

-something's wrong with my Internet, I can't post pictures (T_T)-

~Photo of the Day: Double Rainbow~

-finally uploaded the picture-

What's amazingly weird is that it didn't rain here at the south, not even a drizzle according to our maid. So, she didn't believe me that there was a double rainbow just outside. And mind you, this was like a few minutes just before the sun sets so thank the heavens I had my camera with me.

I don't know why, but whenever I see rainbows I instantly feel happy. As pointless as the information may be, it just made my day.

Earlier this day, I was so pissed off because of all the stress that's coming from home and school, and I haven't seen much of my friends. The lack of being with people just for the sake of having fun is affecting my mood... or it could be like PMS.


Plus, my Internet being too slow to upload pictures is making me antsy. Raaawr! Not good.

But the double rainbow really did make me smile again. I felt like it was a sign that good things are about to come... or things will get better.

I want my Christmas season, now!

How long does it take for you to finish a 550 piece puzzle by yourself?

~One Hour in Solving the Mess~

~Three Hours into Solving the Mess~

~Photo of the Day: Dog Breathe by Tom Everhart~

The last picture was taken after six hours in solving the puzzle. Six hours! I'm amazed that I didn't ask for help when my brother was offering.

Fun. Fun, Fun. But, it just means I have to get back to my academics. Which, I'm not loving right now because there are so many papers and projects, and stressful deadlines.

The first one that I started was our artwork for the upcoming Marian display. I changed the whole concept because the last one was way too simple, and I think this shows the Immaculate Conception much better. It's still a work in progress so it looks so dirty for now.

~Immaculate Conception Painting in Progress~

Drowning myself in academics before the deadlines. Then, I'll be free from all of them and I can get out of this house, again and again. I'll finish them all tonight, or I'll start them up so that my group could finish early.

~Acads, can't you finish yourself?~

This house is charged with so much negativity. The only thing that made me smile today was Victor King's new video on Youtube and KBS World's Let's Go! Dream Team 2. Korean variety show are so... fun. I actually wanna join them.

Projects and papers are proving to be my shackles,

AnaRay

get me out of here!!!
