Countessa of the East

Today I shall not sleep because Ayala will be close by 5pm – 10am and I’m anticipating chaos in my commuter's life~~ honestly speaking I don’t know much about Makati’s side street. So my plan is to leave early, as early as 10pm, if worst comes to worst I’ll have time finding my way to reach my 2am shift. If I’ll have extra time… ummm… then I might roam around Ayala with my Camera and see what I can get there…You see, I’m very vigilant of what’s happening around, so attentive that I’m completely oblivious of tonight’s events in Makati, lols! Is it October fest or Marathon or Rally? I wouldn’t give a dam really! We’ll see!

Anyhow, last night I started training new bloods and hopefully I’ll be done with product training tomorrow so we can start sucking blood, bwaaahahahaha!

I still need one more new blood to join my army…would you like to be my newbie? Bwaaaahahaha!

My lappy’s keyboard is acting strange, I think he had grown a brain of his own and decided to rebel against me. YO! Keyboard wakey wakey don’t be stubborn baby!

Can I be part of the Cullens instead?

A good friend of mine made a comment in one of my project 365 photos. Well, this is what he said: “VODKAHOLIC VAMPY: THE RED COLORED BOTTLE compliments and blend to your mane”. And I replied saying “thank you and I like that title: Vodkaholic Vampy!” But it didn’t stop there he made another comment this time stating the reasons why I deserve that title.

This is what he said:

You are most suitable candidate for the title VODKAHOLIC VAMPY, hahahha! Here are the reasons WHY:

* You are a night walker

* You are a Vodka Lover

* You are Victoria's exact replica (Twilight)

* Your mane and fashion statement is awe-inspiring.

* You are forever young LOL =P

I rofl with that statement and how great it was pointed out!

You are a night walker~ and I never sleep at night, we all know that I’m insomniac, that's why I rather work at night.

You are a Vodka Lover~ GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! YES, my name is Levz and I’m a VODKAHOLIC! Lolz!

You are Victoria's exact replica (Twilight)~ That---I’m not so sure of! Victoria is brunette and her skin is pale white vs Me --well, my mane is quite reddish, I colored it red but being a natural Filipina we all know it would fail, hehehe, my skin is pale yes! But not white pale hahaha!

Your mane and fashion statement is awe-inspiring.~ Now, that is one compliment that I appreciate! I work hard to look great because if you look great everything else will follow. And I appreciate those who like my fashion sense, not too eccentric but a little edgy! And my hair is not as gorgeously straight or curly but I like it like that!

You are forever young LOL =P~ WOW Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! I’m on a my double curly age *nods up and down* and I still get a shot and glare whenever someone asks for my age and I answer it with full honesty, hehehe…I feel good to be branded as ageless!

I know this is narcissism at its finest, but when someone compliments you, you should be thankful and appreciative! Don’t be coy or shy! Just like what I always said “don’t be bashful!” Say Thanks! And gulp it all. After all we don’t get that every day, just don’t forget to pay it forward!

Now can I just be part of the Cullens!? HEHEHE!

Freaky Thursday: Stairs Combat Exhibition!^^

My daily routine when I wake up~ first is to check on whom texted me while I was sleeping. I won’t read the messages yet but fix my coffee and lit my cig then open the radio and then take a bath. The only time I’ll be reading and replying to those messages is after taking a bath.

This morning after getting out of the bathroom I grab my phone and started reading messages while walking up the stairs! BIG MISTAKE! Both of my hands are on my phone as I was reading and replying to text messages and I slip face first! Everything was fast; I can see that it’s either my nose or my lips that will be landing on the edge of the steps, so I have to think quickly! I tilt my head and I landed on my chin.

I was shock and shaking, everyone was still sleeping, thoughts are running through my head... what if I hit it bad and die in that instance no one would be there to help me. I scream and cry, teehee! I cried! Hahahaha! My mom heard my scream and panicked, running, shouting my name and asking what happened. When I stood up I grab my face, *BS* my chin was swelling and damn how it hurts!

Stupidity is inevitable, this can happen to anyone we just have to experience first to be careful next time! Lols!

Be safe everyone! ^^

Your 500 commento goes here!

My project 365 is running just fine and I’m pleased that I’m getting nice feedback from friends, not to mention all the push whenever I feel like giving up. I was flabbergasted when I saw more than 500 comments with just 70 pictures posted. Amazing right? I didn’t know that it will be a success, but that’s too early to say when I still have more than 200 days to go.

Keeping it interesting is a little bit hard. Of course I have to continually seek for something that will gain their attention, so in that case I have posted photos with family, friends and this was one particular picture who capture almost everyone attention and boom the project survive its first two months.

Anyways, here are the things that I might need for my 365 and the things that I want for this season.

• Rubber boots
• Beanie/ski cap the colorful ones
• Trench coat (the real thing)
• See thru umbrella
• White boyfriend’s long sleeves
• Cycler’s jeans
• Ankle pants color mustard
• Majorette/Marching band’s coats I don’t know how you call those jackets hahaha Beatles Jacket LOL
• Classic motor bike helmet with eye mask

I wish to take picture in the following place:

• Beach
• Plane, Ship or Big Bike
• Club (as in while clubbing)
• New resto in manila
• Some spots in valley view LOL
• Some areas in the office
• I hope to get a picture out of the country *wish*

I’m planning to do a little cosplay in the upcoming months but I’m still on the planning stage. Have all the days to do that with 295 left. But come what may, sometimes the most laziest shoot are the ones that are more interesting…I wonder why!?

Today is my Birthday Yahooo! (Boooo YOU)!

Last night I get to celebrate my Bday with some of my closest friends. Made some California Maki to go with the red wine and vodka (which made me think now hmmm… what’s with me drinking Red wine and eating Maki? lol). We stayed up until 5am or until my head was spinning…hmmm Red wine and Vodka is a bad combo, I was advice never to mix or to take two different alcohols at the same time. How Stupid!

Before I went to bed I remember writing something for my blog, but just as I was about to post it I change my mind. That was really out of this world, I was writing something about what I wish to have and I’m drunk so my mouth or shall I say my mind was blabbering with stupidity. Anyways below are some parts of that deleted post:

“I only have one wish right now. I want 12 books that I can read for the next 12 months or until my next birthday! I’m totally drunk my head is spinning and I wish to watch the music video of “Pure Shore” (All Saints). I always make fun of myself while watching that video, when I’m all smashed up it helps my head to spin some more…Arrgh! This is annoying I can’t even think straight…anyways I want 12 books!!! And maybe I want you too!”

Ok I’m going to cut it right there, the content after that are totally BS and I congratulate myself for thinking twice before posting…can’t reveal any more of my intoxicated brain.

So I went to bed and I can see from my window that it’s already sunny outside hmmm…I held on to my eye mask (or eye cover or whatever you call that thingy that you use to cover your eyes with when sleeping) and turn on the AC so I can sleep in peace.

At 2 pm I woke up with Wacky jumping and showering me birthday kisses. I realized that I have to do something but my head is pounding so I decided to take a quick shower to refresh myself. After that quick bath I gather all the things that I need for that something and HELL YEAH! I was starting my 365 project and so my room is in total mess… I was desperately seeking for white walls where I can pose and get a good clean background, but unfortunately our walls are painted in mustard yellow (poop paint) and blue. I can’t afford to change the wall paint just because I’m starting with this project so I resigned myself to blue background. So, there goes my little dorky-camwhore-self posing and taking pictures.

Finally here are my wish lists for my BDAY:

1. Camera Remote: I need that badly if I want to survive and succeed in this 365 project. It’s hard to take self photos using timer. I feel stupid smiling and projecting for like 10 seconds or until I hear the click sound.
2. 12 new books: I’m still wishing for that!
3. Head Phones: Skullcandy, Urban Ears, Mix-Style or Sennheiser or Monster beats (Monster Beat my face! in my dreams).
4. Hongkong/Macau: I don’t wish to own Hongkong or Macau my wish is to travel back there this year.
5. To Travel ALONE: I want to experience that big time! I wish I can do that!
6. Lots of Money: who would not wish for that LOL!
7. Quit Smoking: Yes I’m wishing to have that will power to stop this bad habit.
8. Good Health: Not only for myself but for my Family and Friends as well.
9. More Friends: I wish to gain more friends and reconcile with those I have issue with.
10. More Skills: It’s never too late to learn more things I wish I can be good in guitars, photography and I wish to learn at least two new languages I’m planning Korean, Japanese or French.

Maybe I should also wish to have a fairy odd parent Haha! So I can rush those little fancy! And lastly I wish for World Peace! (My humor is getting repulsive everyday) LOL.

Anyways, that’s all that I have for today…I got a lot of greetings from friends and that made my day. I’m so happy and I feel so blessed for having a very supportive family and friends that keeps me sane. I wouldn’t trade them for anything. On second thought maybe I can trade them for a million dollar! HAHAHA!

The Death of Humdrumness

They say that you control your own life. If you complain that you’re not happy, it’s because you decide to feel that way. If you’re miserable with the uniformity in your life, it’s because you select the same path all the time. If you keep on saying that you’re tired with all work and no play, it’s because you refuse to welcome fun and excitement in the things that you do. In one way or another we are all bored because we refuse to whip the soul inside us.

I myself is in that humdrum cycle, I’ve always felt that I am lacking because I don’t see the thrill in what I do anymore. I was born as a thrill seeker (ARIES ARE), I never settle for the easy path I rather choose the rough road. I’m a person who would deviate to what everyone agrees upon. I’m a person who only believes in those who have the same thinking as mine. I hate to be ordinary, I hate to blend in. But when you age, your goals, ideas and the way you perceive things also age along with you. My dilemma is how to break the monotony in my life without causing damage.

Deciphering the puzzles on how I can bring back the adventure in my life is not easy. I have limited network of friends now, (friends come and go, yes, they do most of the time, and only few remain over the years) so gimmicks are not an option and my focus is on another level. I said: I have to earn all the darn money there is., so involving money is another no-no. Changing Career is also not an option but I have to put life back into my life…

Tadah!!! Ideas flashing…Lamest Ideas that would somehow bring me back in my world. Without too much effort or change in what I do.

I’m starting this project 52 weeks and 365 days: A SOS to Humdrumness~ A Break from Monotony.

52 weeks will be a compilation of my videos playing the guitar with whatever songs I have in mind (Dang! that’s 52 songs). I’ll be doing this every Monday or whenever I have a spare time in a week. My videos will be called “DORKETTECOVERTVERSION” the reason for doing this is because I don’t want my guitar skills to wither, with the hope that this will inspire and motivate me to practice my guitar skills. It will only be available in my facebook account because youtube is too effin’ overrated (sorry), I just don’t want to join the crowd and I would rather have the most honest opinion coming from real people I know.

356 days will be my compilation of expressive photos or concept photos. I will post it (again) in my facebook account. It will not be like my usual photos that you see. I may play a little bit, dragging myself to conceptualize a presentation for the viewers to perceive how I feel and challenging myself with what I can do in a more artistic level. Nope, I may not put it in flicker, for the same reasons that I have with youtube, it can’t be easily accessible to anyone. I have enough photos running around the net and that’s more than enough to satisfy the worlds lacking (HAHAHA) for pungent taste! (Project starts on April 12. Em’ on the process of gathering all resources).

Anyways, I hope everyone will support me in this folly. For some who would give a “duh” reaction, OH EFFIN’ PLEASE! To hell with how you feel, it’s my way of bringing back life into my life, I don’t expect anyone to join the ride and…oh! Just so you know I won’t have it your way. But just incase you feel you’re lacking in some…come on! I have extra seats for you! Let’s go chuga-chuga choo-choo! Whoopsy!

(Crossing fingers in those two projects…Oh please give me the patience and courage to face all the effin’ challenges there are. May I not know the word PROCRASTINATION; let it be far from me=))

Suggestions are welcome, I’m all ears 0(^o,^)0== Hit it!
