Moved to tumblr :)

Hello!

My adventure moved to another stopover. Catch my blog at http://adventurestodreamland.tumblr.com :)

see you all there!

And I am back :)

Hello everyone!
It has been a while since my last blog entry. I have been 60% busy and 40% lazy to write. I just realized I didn’t have anything posted for April. So here are some April highlights:

1. My sister, Nicolai’s 18th Birthday!

Time really flies so fast that I didn’t even realize that my naughty little sister is of legal age already! I got so excited about her party and I was the event coordinator. It was my first event and even if it wasn’t the most perfect party at least I had fun and I learned quite a lot from it :) Btw, the theme was Sailor and I love her second outfit .

PS. for those who want to hire me to be your events coordinator, text me up at 09053605305. I know the most affordable things to offer in your events and my services are not costly. SAVE TIME, STRESS and ENERGY! :)

2. My 2...1st birthday!

Yes I am that young! :D I had a pre-birthday celebration with BezzLess and we surely had an awesome sleepover. Thanks to Soberclub for the drinks we were all sooooo drunk. haha! We played tons of games too. Thanks to B for the surprise! I received a pretty bouquet of pink roses and sansrival (that I have been craving for months then!). I cant help but smile when I received everything and while B asked me to dance to Justin Bieber’s One Less Lonely Girl :"> Soooo sweet :”> Thank you B and Bezzless :)
My birthday itself was celebrated with the whole family including some extensions in a private resort in Laguna.

3. Start of my internship for two companies. BIR and GLOBAL City Innovative College. So far it has been good. Here are some of the things I did last week:

For BIR it has been the same work since we started. We just finish one whole rack of cases that we are encoding and I guess we will work on those cases until we finish our 150 hours because there 3 more racks to finish. What I love about BIR is there’s free merienda everyday! Yehey!:)

For GLOBAL, last Tuesday we were busy encoding in the admissions department but our other supervisor called us to move to the GIS building for a photoshoot with Celebrity Living Magazine under the Mega Publishing House. Chef Rosebud from QTV’s Quickfire was the one who is going to be featured in the magazine this coming June. I met the different people from the magazine and found their work interesting but probably I would want to work with a fashion magazine :) That day too, I was asked by my boss, Sir Bolanos, to write press releases, articles and marketing project proposals for the company. I had to finish the grad article first and thank God I was really in the mood to make my mind work that I finished it just before the day ended.

Last Thursday, we worked for the admissions department again and later that day we were tasked to do a report of the inquiries for the school. We had to do it in 3 hours for the report the next day. We had to tally and check all the forms then we had to put it in a graph and make it presentable for the board of trustees to see. I was so happy to see them very pleased with what we did and they even asked us to set a day where we can teach them how to make those kind of reports.

Saturday too was hectic, we needed to finish some graphs again for the school as asked by the Marketing department then later that day we had to pack things up for the Mother’s day event in Glorietta 5. We are going to have a cupcake decorating and shake making workshop. We packed brochures, flyers and certificates for 200 participants. Later that day, we went to GE Monogram Experience in Serendra where we will have the GLOBAL Celebrity Culinary classes. We met IC Mendoza, Pui a fashion designer, Samantha Oh, host and a model. They were assisted by Chef Nancy and we indulge in a scrumptious dinner as they prepared Chinese Cuisine. We had to assist them because the classes are a project of the marketing department.

I hope I would be able to blog more soon. I will try to post the articles that I am writing for Global :D

BezzLess :)

Hi!

I am currently skype-ing with BezzLess :) It's how we call our barkada. It is a compound word composed of Bezzes and Heartless that brought about BezzLess. Haha! Anyway, we had some bonding time today. We went to school for our last guidance test then Kaye and I went out for a meeting. We again met with our other friends in Gravy Fix for lunch :) We went straight to SM marikina to watch a movie. We were actually supposed to watch Never say Never or Catch me I'm Falling but we ended up buying tickets for Horror in Facebook. HAHA. I love them so much :) thanks friends :)

PHOTODUMP!

Eating cupcakes with lotsa love ♥

Hi :) Just got home from my sister, Abi's Thanksgiving mass. Oh time flies so fast. She's graduating from grade school already. Whew. Oh btw, my brother Kyle treated me to lunch! Sometimes there are perks for being an ate and for having siblings who receives a lot of money from our parents :>

Photo dump :) I soooo love colorful things right now. HELLO SUMMER :)

Ahoy!♥

Hi!

At long last, the school year is officially over :) YAY! Congratulations to everyone who survived the hell sem. So happy! Thank you to my ff4. bezzless and my honey for being there for me :) As I have said before, I would not be able to survive college without each one of you. Lastly, let us keep our fingers crossed for the grades. :)

I am currently here in our ancestral home for my lola's wake :( On the way here we've been talking about gifts that are simple but really matters. Colai, my sister, just told me when we got here that she felt really sad because we remembered our lola, whom we call tita paz, giving us food as gifts when we were kids. She usually gave us Pringles or Picnic or chocolates and we really loved it. When we also got here we were looking for softdrinks from our lola's store then they told us that they closed it already. Back when I was a kid, I usually go here and help tita Paz sell in her store and she taught me how to give change and all. I would surely miss her and her distinct laugh :) We love you, tita Paz.

On the other hand, I am still currently finishing off some of the details for my sister's 18th. She finally decided that she wanted to have a simple party with a program. I suggested the theme and she said she really liked it. So now the party is Nautical inspired! :) Ohhh Sailors and Pirates. I got really excited when she told me that she liked the idea. I barely got two weeks to prepare for this. Hopefully, everything will be executed well!

Photo dump! :)

nautical things are soooo adorable!

oh suede :">

Christian Louboutin Nude Cutoff Booties, I want youuuu

Sunday rest :)

Hello!

At long last I am done with more than half of all my subjects for this sem:) Yay! We finished our Public Relations case analysis finals yesterday and our group got hired. We all worked so hard for it. So happy! Thanks to all my groupmates I believe we've done a great job together. hihi. After finals we went to out to eat lunch and talk a little then went straight home. Oh, the feeling of not having anything to do for the weekend. :) It was a very happy Sunday indeed. I have been on a Gossip Girl season 4 high since this morning. I watched 6 episodes. :) Then I watched TV and had my hair permed. I wish this week will go well :)

HYPE my look on lookbook and wait for my upload in Luxe Mode. :) Ciao!

What a wonderful world :)

Hello girls :) Sorry if I have been on a hiatus. Well, school was waaaaaay hectic these past few days plus I also have Teatro Kolehiyo ng Miriam (TKM) rehearsals at night. But now, this school year is almost over. Most of my subjects are done already and Till Death Do Us Part was a huge hit. Well, for you to understand what I am saying I'll share something about TKM.

A year ago, I finally decided to have an organization. I was choosing between the pep squad and TKM but because I think I wanted to explore the world of theater I joined the org. It was fun! SERIOUSLY :) This school year have been a good one for the org. We participated in different school activities and even outside activities. We had 3 productions and 1 production that was with Miriam College Institute for the Arts. The last production was Till Death Do Us Part, a back to back play production, featuring Liza Magtoto's Despedida de Soltera and Chynna Roxas' Traje de Boda. I am officially looking forward to another year with TKM.

Have to rest now. Still no outfit posts too. Btw, OJT will start real soon probably I'll use this to be my online journal where I can post what I do in the office. (WOW. sounds so old).

BYE :)

Afternoon Delight ♥

Went out for a shoot today with my dear photographer :) hihi. Thank youuu :) You were great! visit http://danceprincessvanya.multiply.com now! :) Here I Love You

Here I love you. In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters. Days, all one kind, go chasing each other. The snow unfurls in dancing figures. A silver gull slips down from the west. Sometimes a sail. High, high stars. Oh the black cross of a ship. Alone. Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet. Far away the sea sounds and resounds. This is a port. Here I love you. Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors. The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me. The moon turns its clockwork dream. The biggest stars look at me with your eyes. And as I love you, the pines in the wind want to sing your name with their leaves of wire. Pablo Neruda

La Casa de Bernarda Alba

hi :)

Hello to another busy week. Well at least not so much though. I am just stressing over my world literature prelim exam. Revisions for the final manuscript for our communication research class. Radio Production recording and PR class survey. Not so much... I think. Also, the new list of electives are out now. I can't decide which one to choose but I am definitely getting what my friends are getting. I don't want to go solo on my thesis. I need blockmates. Actually, I am thinking of getting writing for TV but... I don't have anyone to take it with. Sigh.

On the other hand, I am excited for tomorrow! Knowledge Channel will be airing La Casa de Bernarda Alba a play produced by Teatro Kolehiyo ng Miriam and Miriam College Institute for the Arts. It is directed by Riki Benedicto. Cast includes: Katrina Roxas, Lee Agustin, Alyssa Daculug, Hazel Paras, Gia Querubin, Junna Reyes, Coke Cruz, Joesie Credo and yours truly. YAY! :) Congrats everyone :)

Schedule:

January 18 and 20 (8:20pm)

January 22 (7pm)

and this is what I want my hair to look like... :) haha

BYE!

Cusp

Hi :)

It's Friday and I am home studying for my Economics class. I am not really good at it, so I have to step it up a notch. I was actually analyzing the wrong slope that is why I get wrong answers. I felt really stupid when I found out about it. :( Anyway, this week was busy. School is stressing me and when I think about the grades I feel like throwing up. I get anxiety attacks that are very unnecessary. Seriously, I have to stop worrying. Whew.

On the other hand, I am excited for what I am going to wear tomorrow! Yey! I love Saturdays (Mondays too) because we get to wear clothes other than our school uniform. :D I am also excited for Luxe Mode's 52nd Collection that will come out this Sunday! You better watch out for it. :) Oh and by the way, you can now follow us on twitter (luxemodebyvanya) and like us on facebook (luxe mode by vanya).

Lastly, I have read something about the new zodiac signs for 2011. Thank God we are not included in that thing. I somehow believe that the characteristics of the zodiac signs are true (well at least for me) and I love being a Cusp. A Cusp is being the borderline of two different zodiacs. My birthday falls on April 20 and that day separates Taurus from Aries. This explains why I have Aries traits. Although, someone told me that it is better if you embrace only one of the two zodiac signs. I think I am more of a Taurus. Hmm. So what do you think about this?

Poetry

In Blackwater Woods

Mary Oliver

Look, the trees

are turning
their own bodies
into pillars

of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned

in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side

is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Tamala

hello:)

I had been busy over the week due to late night rehearsals for Miriam College Institute for the Arts, Tamala. A play written by Liza Magtoto and Directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio. The play was first staged in Miriam College during the last quarter of 2010. It was made by the most talented and well known people in the theatre industry and I am very honored to be a part of it as a dancer. We had a busy weekend as we were asked to stage it in SM Marikina (Saturday) and SM Fairview (Sunday). Thank you for all those who watched it and we really enjoyed sharing our time with you.

Here are some photos during rehearsals and the show.

Poetry is Fascinating

Keeping Things Whole In a field I am the absence of field. This is always the case. Wherever I am I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole. - Mark Strand

There is only we ♥

Sonnet XVII I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. Pablo Neruda

happy 4th to my happy heart♥

Hello happy January 3rd! :)

Went out for a meeting today and wore my new acid washed ripped jeans and my punk rock cropped top to school and I got a violation for it. So much for trying to wear something new today. Sigh. I also went on a date with my love today. We watched a movie and ate out and talked a lot! :) :) :) Also, I fixed some items for delivery, org files and currently I am finishing off my take home readings for my Phil. Constitution class tomorrow for a possible graded recitation. I am excited for school because I told my self to push it a little harder and aim higher to maintain my grades for graduation.

So, that's it. I wasn't able to take a photo of what I wore today but I will soon :) haha! Let us cross our fingers for a good 2nd half of 2nd sem! Tamala rehearsals for our SM shows this weekend starts tomorrow too. Soooo excited.

Goodnight!

Happy 1-1-11♥

Happy New Year Lovelies! I hope you had a blast last night. As part of our family tradition, we basically stayed home and watched a movie while waiting for midnight. My mom was too scared to go out during New Year so we didn't hear mass too. Also as part of our tradition, alcohol is not served on New Year's eve. Haha! (been craving for super cold Tanduay Ice for days now). Before 12 we took pictures first but pop was too giddy about the fireworks he was restless and we ended up getting shots wherein dad was looking somewhere. We had awesome food too! We had carbonara, spaghetti, christmas ham, cheese, caldereta, bulalo and hot chocolate. :) We ended the night watching 2012 on HBO with the whole family. :D

My resolution for 2011 is to be able to save up more and upload at least twice a week for Luxe Mode and reach my 100th collection before December. What is your New Year's resolution? :)

The day is not yet over! I'll be heading to my best friend's house in a few. Gotta party a little before I face my books tomorrow and get busy with school. Can't wait for Monday too! It's our 4th. hihi. Sooo happy :) Have to go! Bye Lovers! Happy 2011!

50th Collection tomorrow! :)

What I wore to mass earlier today

yellow polka dot tube top, lace tiered skirt, black military cut blazer, black belt, yellow shoes

Media Noche with Sibs mom & dad were still outside when this was taken :)

Baby you're a firework :)

Hello 2011!

Make a wish!:)
