Velada Tomasina
This has been one of the most exciting events here in UST. Here, we turn back to memory lane and live out the glorious years of 19th century, where men use to court and women forbid to show their smiles. Guardia Civil greated me “Buenos dias, seniorita” with their dark nifty clothing and sumbrero. As I tone down to my own Alipin Sagiguilid outfit, I see beautiful women being all maharlika and “Maria Clara”. I wonder if they found their own Jose Rizal within this Historical place he used to love?
I cater my interest to all vintage things. Small tiangge shops selling most about everything, from food to clothing. Let’s not forget the impromptu photoshoots everywhere. As if this gadgets existed long ago. People had to be so techie. Fastfood chains being flooded by girls in lacey outfits and boys in their black suits. Such a refreshing sight to see. I hear kalesa strolling around the campus, the sound of trumpets and beautiful music from the orchestra. Nostalgia…yes, that feeling of longing. How I loved to live in the past, but wait. Tick Tock. Times up, we have to go back to our time now for this day of abaca and bakya will fade away…like a symphony that turns into silence as it ends. I will surely remember, the day of a glamorous Thomasian celebration.

- I’m a self-confessed avid anime fan/otaku like my online best friend: Wanits.
- My greatest dream is to be a film director.
- I wouldn’t last a day without coffee. My favorite is probably espresso roast. I like my coffee bitter and creamy.
- I want to publish a novel in this lifetime…even just one. Since I’m one of those girls who’d rather stay at home and cuddle up with a good book.
- I procrastinate a lot.
- I have a type on boys. Usually they are boy-next-door, tall, slender, brown-eyed and have artfully messy hair. He should be passionate, great in math and very independent. Clingy boys for me is such a turn-off.
- I suck at pronunciation. A day won’t pass without a friend of mine correcting and making fun of me.
- I love all types of food. It’s a great thing since even if I eat a lot, I don’t get fat or even the good kind of fat. Blame my metabolism.
- I’ve been a computer geek for as long as I can remember. I edit videos, photoshop pictures, code websites, blog since 2008 & somesorts. Though, I never learned how to type in the right way. Until now, I type the way Dexter does.
- The hardest thing for me to do is to get up early in the morning.
I’ve been tagged by this before and similar to this when I used to blog using Wordpress. I miss it so much. Anyway, Thank you Nohriel and Wanits for tagging me. I won’t tag though since I have no one else to tag to. Instead, I’m going to ask you to do a different challenge. You better watch out. So, until here. Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

30 Days of Shipping ☆ Day 09: The most believable relationship.
John Llyod Cruz x Bea Alonzo
Let me remind you that I’m from the Philippines *wink*. This couple, they’ve been working together for a very long time. The way they click together even with various roles…there can never be more natural than this onscreen couple.

30 Days of Shipping ☆ Day 08: The pairing with the most baggage.
Romeo Montague x Juliet Capulet
The way I understand this category is “the couple that has a lot of problems”. Of course, I’ll vote for Romeo and Juliet. This is the most popular love story of all time and I think it deserves the title. Their love is so beautiful. Though, when I was young, I find it ridiculous. But people change and became hopeless romantics. I’ve always like these kind of pairs, the ones who are being separated by fate. FYI, this is from the 1968 which I prefer more than any versions. Well, Leonardo’s pretty cool and the anime version is superb but this will always be my favorite. I ship this couple so hard, even the actor & actress, I want them to be together. But of course they’re 60’s and prolly married to someone else. *sigh* I’ll go down with this ship…with most of the people in the world. Except if you want Rosaline and Romeo to be together.
PS: Isn’t Leonard Whiting (Romeo) look like Zac Efron mixed with Josh Hutcherson? And Olivia Hussey (Juliet) is probably the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen…I swear to God she is.
