MYOH - Make Your Own Havaianas 2011


Another post due, MYOH Cebu ended last July 31. I was able to go there for the exclusive media event last July 27 before it was opened to the public the day after. I could say this is one of my most anticipated event yearly, take note ONE meaning there are still plenty to count. ;D

MYOH started years ago in the Philippines. I believe it was 2003 that havaianas hits our country's shore, but it was not until later that I became addicted to them. So here's a shot of what I got myself made, it's the 4th for this year. 
The menu for that evening's event, media, famous local personalities were everywhere. And we just arrived there from work and almost drenched in rain, good thing our umbrellas came in handy.




I wore my Marimekko for that special event, motto: wear havaianas on a havaianas event!



 The cute lil pins that would go into my new pairs. <3


Me showing off my ticket for the 2 free pins. :D


Lastly, Me and my guest, Cath. and together with us is our assembler Pao and another staff you help took a picture before. Thank you! 


The experience has always been amazing year by year, the number of my MYOH pairs has been growing as well. It all adds up to my wonderful collection of havaianas, it would be great showcasing them all but I need to gather those lovely pairs first.. Locating them isn't that easy anymore with plenty of boxes all piled up.. lol 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to another year of fun loving customization of my favorite flip flops brand - havaianas! Thank you for the invite and for the happy memories of making my own pair. <3 <3 <3

xoxo,

The Love Story

A love story to share...

One day a boy and a girl met through common friends, both have different personalities and different background. They studied in the same college under the same course but it took long before they have finally met, actually they became friends during their last year in college. 

It wasn't until summer that the news break out that the boy likes the girl, they were camping in the mountain when the topic was opened by one of their friends. Both kept silent, it was an unexpected revelation. After that incident, they still kept in contact. For some they might find it awkward after hearing such and try to keep distance from the guy, but the girl was open to know more about him and appreciated the admiration of the boy. They remain as friends but a lot closer, they traveled out of town together with some of their friends. Texting with each other at night when they are just sleeping one room apart, giving the girl  2 monkey plushies before heading back home. Those were his first gifts to her, spend the day touring the city while eating out at night. 

They became a lot sweeter and would go out just the two of them. Spending time in helping her with her project, showing her that he's really there when she needed  him. Some of their friends were surprised of seeing them together going out as they didn't expect it. He would hold her hand while walking, giving her a sense of security. To her he was the most nicest gentleman she met, he was very understanding and through her the boy became a really good man. She was happy to see how proud he was of his love towards her.

On this day four years ago, when they got out from the school both decided to eat dinner at the mall. After that, the girl asked the boy to eat desserts with her, little did he knew she had prepared something for him. Inside the restaurant, she gave him a box with a necklace and a little note inside saying, "Yes, I would love to be your girl!". Since then, they became a couple but they also faced some challenges that would see how strong their relationship is. Both have been through a lot, but time has proven that their love is worth fighting for. 

That girl was me..

So B, remember that there will always be a time that God will give us challenges that would strengthen our bond. We must not see it negatively but instead we look for a way on how to pass through that test together, don't give up easily because he wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle. Our faith in him is one thing we must always be reminded of, let him be the center of our relationship.

All those memories we have shared will always be kept in our hearts, I thank you for that. Without those, my life will not be as meaningful as this. I miss all those things we did together, how happy we are when we're together. I know we have been through a lot, but look at how far we have come, who we become and how we grow together as an individual and as a couple. 

It's true, we're different and unique. Not all people will be able to understand us and our relationship, we may not be perfect but we do make the most out of everything. :) I'm glad I stayed and I waited, to be there for you in times when you feel down. Everything was worth all the risk.

I guess, what I'm trying to say is you're that missing half that makes me complete. 
You're that one special person in my life that I just couldn't give up.
... and my life would really suck without you!

Thank you for everything!
♥ I love you dearly... ♥
Happy 4th Anniversary Baby

4 in 1 Movies we watched - Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, Prince of Persia, Sex and the City 2

Why 4 in 1? 

Well, because of my absence here for a month all the movies we've watched within the time I'm not here will be in this entry. I must say week after week, very good movies came out so imagine us being at the cinemas every week! :) But I don't think I can make this entry long enough to get into details but I'll try to give in as much as I can. 

First - Iron Man 2


Robert Downey Jr. once again came back for the sequel of Iron Man and still he looks amazing for his age. Iron Man was really becoming famous then after Tony Stark admitted publicly that he is Iron Man. At the start, there are several negative impacts that came about, his issues with the government who wanted him to hand in his Iron Man armour, he also discovered that the palladium in the arc reactor keeping his heart beating has begun to poison his body - which led him to appoint Pepper to become the new CEO of Stark Industries. With all the arrangements done, the character of Natalie played by Scarlett Johansson came in. Then while he is Monaco, he faced Ivan Vanko played by Mickey Rourke - who was able to make an arc reactor of his own with the help of the blueprints from his physicist father Anton Vanko.

With those happening, Justin Hammer played by Sam Rockwell took the advantage after he saw Ivan at the racetrack trying to defeat Iron Man. He got Ivan out of the prison and hired him to make Iron Man suits so they will be able to overpower Tony Stark at his own expo. Tony got all drunk on his birthday party and had given Lt. Colonel James Rhodes played by Don Cheadle no other way but to use the other suit Tony made to make him stop. So after all the bad happening he was approached by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D played by Samuel L. Jackson, then he found out that Natalie is also a part of that group. They gave Tony his father's chest full of old belonging hoping to help him out with the palladium problem. So during the expo everything happened there - all the fight scenes with Tony and James who worked together to bring down Ivan. Then the rooftop kiss with tony and Pepper. XD how sweet can it be? So Iron Man became the consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D and Tony and JAmes has been awarded with Medal of Honors by the government.

Second - Robin Hood


This is a bit short. Robin Longstride as we all know played by Russell Crowe, has been with King Richard while he was out conquering other places. Not until the king's death he was able to return to England thru the king's crown together with his friends Will Scarlett, Alan-a-Dale and Little John. He promised to a knight that he will return his sword to the knight's father in Nottingham right before the knight died in front of him. while in Nottingham he was able to meet the wife, Marian and the father of the knight, Walter. 

Little do King John know, Godfrey betrayed his own country and has let the enemies into their grounds. But eventually he found out before it's too late and since King John is weak and has no idea on fighting, so in order to have the people unite and fight with him, Robin kinda helped him out and they came to an agreement which in the end King John didn't approved of which ticks a lot of people off. England won because their enemies backed off but without the unity of all the people including Lady Marian and the kids who fought he wouldn't have gathered that much people to battle. After the agreement has been disapproved, Robin from the Hood has been declared an outlaw - which the story showed the history why he became an outlaw.

Third - Prince of Persia (The Sands of Time)


okay, I have to admit that I'm a fan of this since I was a little kid! I've been playing Prince of Persia I think when I was still in grade 4 with the old pc system. Dastan played by Jake Gyllenhaal is a street kid and later on the king saw him and adopted him into his family. The story depicts interesting events but it all leads down to one purpose of his uncle which was to get hold of the dagger and the sand that could bring back time which he shouldn't have saved his brother - the king. All the kings that happened in the story returns back to the time they conquered the city of Alamut with Princess Tamina at the sacred room praying and Dastan telling his brothers Garsiv and Tus everything he found out while they got inside the city. The dagger was given back to the princess for safekeeping and they eventually learned things about each other after his brother announced that Dastan and Tamina should get married.

It's actually better if you could watch the movie, it's really good! All the scenes and effects are great!

Fourth - Sex and the City 2


So this is the movie I watched last night, amazing! Triple F!! Fun, Friendship and Fabulous! 
I love the movie very much, at first I thought it was a prequel to the movie but actually it's a sequel. At first it just showed how they met and who they were before but after that the storyline is already focusing on the present. Imagine the movie with a very nice gay wedding, yes! there is and you just have to watch to find out who got married. Smith also was in the movie which is the reason how they got to travel to Abu Dhabi, all the adventures that happened while they were there taught them a lot too when they got home especially for Carrie. One of the ex also guest in the film and had made an impact to a relationship, positive or negative? It's for you to find out, it's just the first week. And you can really see that even if the going gets tough but as long as they're together they can surpass it all. That's how true girlfriends are! :)

Not to forget, I love the clothes and the heels. The sense of style in fashion is still there even if they fly to another country with strict traditions, just take a look at them wearing heels while in the desert. From the start til the end, there's no boring part in the movie. I'm loving this from the series up to the movies.

Now, I'm reaching this part to end this long overdue entry again. I wasn't able to blog last May since we're really busy with work, everyday at least we'd get to work overtime just to finish everything in time for the deadline. Right now, I'm trying to make a logo for my new online shop. I will be opening it on facebook and linking it to my multiply and ebay account for feedbacks and references of new future buyers. I do hope that it will do good! :)
