like a baby

it seems like june was brimming with firsts in my life, much like when a baby has hers. i honestly never took notice of it before. there may have been months wherein more firsts had happened. it's just that now, it has piqued my interest enough for it to be blogged about. it's probably because it's varied and they're close to my heart.

i started my month with my first trip out of the country, not with family, but with a friend. it was a rollercoaster ride since our itinerary would change upto the last minute. we met a lot of friends and i visited family there. i had to be a middleman of pasalubong and chuckled when i realized that only half of my luggage was my stuff. it felt great to be a bearer of good news. :) first time to walk and walk and walk in search of our destinations; first time to pay cab fare with plastic; first time to enter an ikea store *drools*. but the highlight was my first time at universal studios singapore. i absolutely love theme parks! if only a person could live in one, i would. i immensely enjoyed the "return of the mummy" and "jurassic park" rides. again, again!

then, i went to my first kpop concert with my sister. it was sooo fun; we were squealing fangirls!!! and yes, it was u-kiss's "1st kiss concert: live in manila". i delegated the camera-holding to her since i did it a few months ago when we went to their mall tour. i was resolute on absorbing the whole concert experience without distractions, and i did :D first time to hold a lightstick and wave it in sync with the crowd; first time to see myself at a random photo of a concert; first time to be "featured" in a showbiz news clip (it was more of my forehead and a waving lightstick since the girl in front of me was waving her fan board. lol). because of this, i also had my first internet friend (they are now a bunch *hugs*). we enjoy discussing freely about the fandom - fan accounts, pictures, post comments, videos, fan fiction, and i'm happy that our discussions have branched out to include our personal lives. yey to new-found friends!

my latest first is my full bangs. i rarely had bangs in the past since my face is heart-shaped and i was made to believe that bangs are unflattering on me. whenever i had them, they were side-swept bangs and came down to my ears. of late, i've been curious asto what i'd look like with fringes. so i cut it myself last sunday out of boredom. my dad said i look like abby sciuto of ncis. many people tell me, teasingly or admiringly, that i look korean. my sister just asked, "why?!?" i quite like it since it makes me look young~er. nyahaha! but wth!!! when i put on my glasses (i do at work), i effing look like pre-make-over betty la fea. huhuhu! :'( whatever, i've decided to love my bangs. ^3^

letting my randomness out

i've actually had a lot of attempts at blogging. i tried one at friendster (which, by the way, is deleted now). i also had one at multiply. it was better there since i had interaction with some of my friends on some of my entries. alas, it's (the multiply account) on its deathbed now. the farthest i've gone on facebook are notes and they don't actually count as blogs. i also have an older one here. i created it august of last year but unfortunately, my first post was made last april. i updated with another one 2 weeks after that but i haven't posted since.  i'm doing this now in lieu of that one.


since i do not have the foundation of journaling, i'm not as consistent at posting as i'd want to be. i did have diaries before, even the cutesy ones with various cartoon characters. i also had the ones with locks so that no one could pry on my thoughts for the day, my raves about my crush, or my childish rants about my 'rents and sibs. but i always ended up reading over them after i've stopped writing for about half a year. it pained me when i shredded the pages and threw them away, but i felt weird about only having 6 months of a year recorded, and with seemingly senseless, loose-ended entries at that.


also, i'm a control freak. admittedly, i've been hindering myself from posting stuff because of certain rules i made for myself. so i failed miserably at keeping a blog. (side note: i'll be reposting some of my old blogs here because they need a new abode. one of them is about this topic)


but i've recently learned the secret to my blogging success - being random!!! that's what i do with my posts in the forum that i'm a member of (shameless advertising - rocketboxx.net); and i must say that i am quite enjoying my interaction with a lot of people there. a word of caution though: it's k-pop (or korean pop)-related. it's about the korean boy band u-kiss, who i love dearly like nephews or cousins. they're a great bunch. check them out! check out the forum as well! i've made friends there who blog too and they've shared that randomness is the way to go. now knowing myself, i believe that this is for me too.


so, let the chaos ensue! hwaiting!!! (that's a korean cheer  - and this is another post altogether) :D
