The Lohan Hair

When it comes to haircolors, Lindsay Lohan is definitely the goddess. She has probably tried every hair color there is. I think all of these colors suit her. But my absolute favorite is her jet black hair. Dark colors make her look more sophisticated.

On Sexual Harassment...

Dear _____:

I am filing a formal sexual harassment complaint against _____.

For a very considerable period of time now, I have fallen prey to his unceasing indecent and sexually violating remarks that I have been miserably tolerating in the vague hopes that he will stop doing not only a very unprofessional characteristic but also a very demeaning and sexually harassing behavior. He has been incessantly trying to acquire my mobile phone number that I constantly refuse him and made very clear of my having no intention of giving him now, or even in the future. In addition to this, he keeps on asking me out on a date in a very irritating and unpleasant manner. But what really enrages me is the way he blurts out his lewd, shrewd, and ill-bred oral remarks, which are very sexually harassing in nature. I have already reached the limits of my patience and decided to escalate this very serious matter to a formal complaint. It is very hard to be efficient, and or lest even maintain a good and professional working relationship with this kind of person.

I hope you take action in this very urgent matter.

Thank you, and I’ll be expecting to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Moi

This was my letter indeed. 

NOBODY has the right to treat any woman unrightfully.

To all the women, if you feel that you are violated in anyway, SPEAK UP!

Fight for your rights!

Sweetest

I'm blogging about my valentine's date though it's been two weeks since I met up with my very dear friend, Alvin. It wasn't really a date and let me just make this clear: our relationship is very platonic and there's no way in the world we'll ever be romantically linked to each other. But here's the sweet part, it's the best valentine's day I have ever had so far in the history of mankind.

Alvin is working in china with Bert. So before Alvin went home that week, Bert emailed me saying that Alvin will be arriving just in time for the valentine's day and so just in case I don't have a date, he'll be my back up. They're both very good friends of mine and it's always a joy seeing them because Alvin really cracks me up. And Bert, well, he always surprises me with his weird antics. That week, Bert will be in Malaysia so he can't come home.

So Alvin and I met up. He gave me his pasalubongs. Yes, pasalubongs! He gave me Gucci rush perfume and a big big box of Cadbury's. Yun palang, ok na.

We were suppose to eat at Bellini's but since it was Valentine's day and we have no reservations, the place was crowded; and so we ended up at Italianni's. Italian pa rin! My favorite food. Then we had coffee at Figaro, my choice pa rin. But I guess, the most important thing that night was our conversation. Our best conversation ever!

I was really feeling so special that night.

I realized that with or without a boyfriend, I'm fine. I feel blessed having such wonderful friend who loves me genuinely, who gives so much without asking for anything in return, and who will always stay in my life forever no matter what. And that's the sweetest! 

"Lips Of An Angel"

Bakit kaya I can relate to this song? Sobra! Hmmm...

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

Sabi nga sa Grey's Anatomy (I just rephrased it):
"I want to forget you, I want to escape you but, you know, I can't."

Target: 50 Books

I was looking at the list of books I read in 2005 and 2006 and, boy, I was surprised I could count them in just one hand. Well, actually, I have already started reading some books but I was just able to finish 5 in 2005 and 5 in 2006.

2005
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- Waiting by Ha Jin
- Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon
- Identity by Milan Kundera

My note: Most of these books in 2005 are the best (ever!)

2006
- Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
- Sands of Time by Sidney Sheldon
- Master of the Game by Sidney Sheldon
- The Other side of Midnight by Sidney Sheldon
- Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella

(yes! I'm a huge fan of Sheldon)

I am currently (or at least have started) reading the following:
- Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes (Hilarious!)
- Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Quite dragging, but I'm sure the reading experience is all worth it. Just like Lolita)
- The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (Really thick book. At least 700 pages. And very tiny font. But will finish this. Seriously!)
- Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynn Truss (For sticklers like me. Nice Brit humor)

I really need to read more books! And I really really need to finish reading those 4 listed above. I promised myself to read at least 1 book a week. I was so inspired by the blogger known as "Doppelganger" and Ms. Jessica Zafra's habit of reading 50 books a year. So I need to add 46 more books to the list above. And finish reading them all. Seriously! I mean it, seriously!

My Third Tattoo

I got a new tat last January 3. I was ecstatic. I've always wanted to get a tattoo on my nape and finally when I found the right design, I quickly contacted my tattoo artist friend, Juan Lou, and asked him to ink the design on my skin...permanently!

This is the least painful tattoo experience of the three. It took 1 hour for us to finish the design and only 15 minutes for him to tattoo it on my skin. I was impressed, I must say. He did a similar design as Nicole's (Richie), where I got the inspiration.

There's a certain liberating feeling it gives me everytime I get a tattoo. No wonder Angelina Jolie is addicted to it.

5 Great lessons I learned this year.

5. Your beauty is going to go. Concentrate on your brains - Maria Shriver's mom. Although I'm never going to neglect taking care of myself and striving hard to make myself to look very pleasing everyday, that quote has somehow changed how I would want to become when I grow old. I think in my old age, I wouldn't want my face to be stretched and everything in my body lifted. I would want to have gained wisdom and knowledge that even old age could never take away from me.

4. Accept loss forever - Jack Kerouac. There are lots of things I lost this year. But after losing a dear coworker last November, I have learned to accept that there are things (and people) that you just have to let go. And just accept the bitter fact that they're never coming back. It will defintely help you move on.

3. It's always better to give than to receive (rephrased by me). And I really need to put "always" in that sentence. It gives me great joy to just give. If only everyone could be selfless and just give, I think they would really find great joy too.

2. Always trust your instincts. It will save you from a lot of heartaches.

1. Just love. Without asking for anything in return. I once read from a Sheldon novel (The Other Side of Midnight, I think) that more crimes are committed in the name of love than in the name of hate. I say, it's not love. When you love, you let go, you just give, you don't ask for anything in return. You just love.
