Unlike former Prez GMA whose State of the Nation Addresses focused on the economy and eradicating poverty, PNoy started his with a list of corruption cases and extra judicial killings that are on their way to seeing the court's verdict. That's his thing. Okay I like that.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this in film class.
It was described as a shining example of a poorly made movie.
The director intended to make it extra crappy by failing to maintain continuity in certain scenes, making some of the events illogical, unacceptable and simply too gross for anyone's viewing.
But he made trannies and fatties fashionable and irresistibly funny.
I wish I had a copy of this! Would be fun to see again.

OD-ing on Vitamin A....

...is NOT funny.
it is supposed to get rid of my acne.
It worked for me in the past and I am trying it again.
Okay.
I understand that it will get worse before it clears up.
I was warned of the side effects like chapped lips and dehydration.
Lip balm? Check. Water? Check.
Overall, everything's going swimmingly, except that I think I am going blind.
I sometimes think I'm blinking too long - longer than the usual split-second eyelash batting I do - only to realize that my eyes are open and I cannot see a thing for a second or two.
And then my vision comes back in a snap.
Weird.
I also read somewhere that the harsher side effects include hallucination, depression and in some cases, suicidal tendencies.
Oh retinoids.
Love you and hate you like a schizo on acne meds.

Paul Scheer still cracks me up

I've been awake since 3 AM and nothing could make me go back to sleep.

But in the three hours that I have been up, I've accomplished a lot of things, thanks to the world wide web.

I learned a few things, like light beer has fewer calories than a gin and tonic. Shame.

Applied ice on a big zit on my forehead for thirty minutes. Yay.

Talked to Mama on the phone to say hello.

Phoned my cousin Daniella to sort out some paperwork in Manila. Check.

And now I'm about to help myself to a hot cup of cocoa before jumping in the pool.

And then my day starts. :)

I quit smoking completely.

Cold turkey.

Woke up one day, didn't want to light another cigarette again.

I thought it would take one brave, life-changing gesture on my part.

But the way I decided to give up this bad habit was understated and sincere.

I have not even announced it.

Not that it's of importance to a lot of people.

But it is definitely a big deal to me and my friends.

I love myself and I plan to live a long, happy, healthy and meaningful life.

Amen.

I am so proud of my sister Zoe for passing the tryouts for Company of 1, a prestigious dance group in her school!
It's only her first month in college and she is already making waves - making lots of friends, studying hard, and pursuing her passion for dancing.
Now I know that Mama and I did a great job raising her.
Bonus: she is also as pretty as her big sister and mom.
Are we perfect or what???
She's my Kendall Jenner. You know it!
