Bianca’s second recital with Maylene the dalaga

/ iamsupercarla / 1 Comment

The title is supposed to be something far wittier than that, but I couldn’t think of anything else!  I see these little girls almost every other weekend but it wasn’t until I saw these photos did I realize how much they’ve grown.

Bianca is enrolled at Lyric Music Studio and she studies the piano.  If I’m not mistaken, this is her second recital.  It was held at the Filipinas Heritage Library along Makati Avenue.  So right after the long workweek, I walked my ass over there to at least catch the tail end of it.

When I got there, Bianca and  Maylene were already doing the art that Marga and I hav perfected:  camwhoring.  Hahahahaha.

I caught her in the middle of a serious instruction: "Ate May take my photo with the guitar! Dali!" Hahahaha. I love my cousins and their jologs moments. :)

 

The venue was quite cramped to be honest, especially with all the instruments in it (read: grand piano in baby library).

Bianca with her most loyal fans. I believe Lola Mommy is about to spearhead a nationwide fan club for her.

Can you believe how fast time flies?!

Of course, the pro had to show how bathroom photos are taken. Just forgot to wipe the mirror though, so I had an accidental mole on the cheek. Hahahaha.

 

Filipinas Heritage Library is hidden behind this fantastic landscape. So yes, another photo there too.

 

Good job, Bianca on your recital!  I am looking forward to hearing your version of Canon in D. :)

 

It’s purple pants day for me!

Actually, it’s not just for me.  I bought these pants about three weeks ago and I was yet to find a day to wear them, until I remembered a special day for a purple lady.

Jaja, I hope these photos make you happy.  To be frank, I did not tell anyone in the  family to wear purple, coz in my head, it’s such an odd request for a birthday.  But when we all got up and got dressed, this is what we ended up with.  I hope you have a happy birthday because you deserve it.  You work your butt off, you strive to make other people happy, you’re a fantastic friend/daughter/sister/lover (not that I’d know, but hey! Hehe), so I hope these purple marks make your day much better.

Happy birthday, Jaja!




Happy birthday, Jaja!  May all your wishes come true.  :)

The plan if in case Kate runs

So I read some interesting news the other day.  What if dear Catherine decides to run away from dear Wills?

According to The Register, the Royal Family did not leave out any possible show stopper, including a runaway bride.  The top secret emergency plan included the following:

  • A good chase down the altar
  • Top secret cab pulling out of nowhere
  • Helicopter
  • A fair amount of pleading
  • Some good press

I know right!  They just think of everything.  To read everything about Operation Pumpkin (notice the Cinderella reference there?  As in running away when midnight struck.  How lyrical!), click here.

And for the rest of us that thoroughly enjoyed what could be the wedding of the century (and the strong hint of a modernized monarchy), let us all oggle in these photos.

It’s so fairytale, it makes me siiiiick.  Hahahahaha.  But really, I don’t think you see a gushing prince and commoner everyday yeah?

BARO for Stylista at the BIG BANG BAZAAR

/ iamsupercarla / 1 Comment

Because it’s Easter, please do join me in celebrating something new.  It is the newest brand of clothing to hit your neighborhood bazaar (and will be up soon online!) designed and stylized by Jackie Dionisio.

After having finished her course at the School of Fashion and the Arts (SoFA), her itching need to create pieces and stylings overtook her.  Soon enough, after hauling what seemed to be yards and yards of fabric and thread all over the metro, BARO for Stylista is born.

Do catch them this coming weekend at the Big Bang Bazaar, coordinated by Ateneo Management Association at the NBC Tent.  Let me know if you’re going so I can snap a photo of you.  Here’s good preview of what you’ll catch at the bazaar.

Don’t forget to ‘Like’ BARO for Stylista on Facebook!

Seeing those dotted pants, I am soooo ready for summer bazaars.   See you there!

The Grad Party and then some

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

So on Sunday night, my youngest brother Daniel and my dad celebrated their graduation and birthday respectively.  It has been a while since we hosted quite a shebang and my mother didn’t seem to have shown any intention of holding back.

A few weeks ago, my dad had a heart scare so the party was almost devoid of pork.  My dad cooked laing for the first time and it was a hit.  My lola couldn’t stop eating it.  There was morcon, stir fried vegetables, buttered shrimp and mushroom, kilawin tanigue, green mango salad with shrimp paste and spaghetti.  I know the last dish is out of the loop but it’s Daniel’s favorite.  It’s impossible for that to not be included in the menu.

The spaghetti came much later. :)

So everything was swanky and nice and coordinated… until the booze came out.

Now to be honest, I really didn’t know that we’re not supposed to fund our youngest brother’s drinking binge, so I gave him a couple of hundred to kick things off.  Well it sure did kick things off alright.

This is Justin before:

 

And the after…. is just way too gross for a photo.  Let’s just say it resembled something like this:

Imagine this to be a half naked guy. No kidding.

Then he thought my room was the bathroom and sat down on my floor pillow… and took a dump.  Again, I say, I am not kidding.

Then he was on the floor, his eyes just looking sooo stricken.  When they carried him to the room, they had to put an old shirt by this side because he was throwing up SIDEWAYS.  Do not underestimate the fact that it is not a joke!

Anyway, in the end, we still had to go to work the next morning, with Brother 3 completely hungover.  Justin is yet to hear what he did, but I’m pretty sure as of posting this, he won’t be drinking for a while.
