On Gossip Girl and Gossip Girl-esques

Screencap from Enough About Eve

My Gossip Girl post has to start out with a story. I'm admittedly paranoid, and more than a little observant. In fact, I think I have an uncanny talent of pointing out who looks like who. But anyway, I'm getting beside myself, so now I go back to my story.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that work wasn't coming in as frequently as I would like it Now, for the unfamiliar, I work online, and write for 2 different companies. Needless to say, this kind of work pays on an per article basis, so no articles coming in means no money. Anyway, I noticed the slight slowdown a couple of weeks back, and resolved to find other jobs just to cover my bases. My jobhunt led me to craigslist where I found an ad for a writer who was gossip girl obsessed. The ad didn't really say Gossip girl obsessed, it ran along the lines of Gossip Girl familiar. However, I have to tell you i am Gossip Girl obsessed and have been since the very first episode. Regardless if the last few episodes have just been kinda meh, I still have to download it and watch it every Tuesday (this is Philippine time). So of course, I answered the ad, which now leads me to my announcement! I got the job!!! *insert happy dance here*

I now write for watchgossipgirlonline.tv and you can click here to see my first post!

My second story revolves around Twitter. A few weeks ago, my friend c told me that someone had started a local version of Gossip Girl where we lived. At first, we had a good laugh about it, especially when we found out that c was on it. I suspected it must've be someone she personally knows, as most of the tweets were about common friends. A few days later, I got a mini surprise when I got a follower request from this gossip girl-esque person. Thinking it wasn't going to lead to any harm, I approved the request.

Don't get me wrong, nothing major happened since the approval, but I have been noticing that the tweets, which were once, harmless, and factual at best, have started becoming the teeniest bit catty. There's nothing about me there, nor would I expect there to be, as I lead a pretty ho-hum existence, but there have been a few eye-brow raising ones about good friends. So, I don't know.. I hope this gossip girlesque character doesn't take nastiness to the extreme, as things could get ugly. Also, it makes me wonder who this person is. If he/she knows about ho-hum me, then it has to be someone I know right? Hmm..must investigate..

Matchy Matchy

What do you think about matching your lip color with an article of clothing? Yay or nay?
For lack of other ideas, i decided to try a pink lip to match my pink bandage mini. To be honest, I kinda like it! :p


See how the shade is exactly alike?



Upon closer inspection

p.s thank you mikey for the photos, and sheila and anan for the lipstick :)

Cheap Thrills

If you only had a hundred pesos to spend, would you still come out of the mall feeling happy? I recently thought of this when one fine day, I opened my wallet and found only 20 friggin pesos!lol. Don't worry it ends happily, well, as happy as finding a BPI withdrawing machine can be, but that's beside the point. I raised the budget a notch higher and asked if having less monetarily can still put the same smile on my face. You know what? The answer is surprisingly yes! haha! I could still be the happy mallrat with only 100 with me. Mind you most of the things I thought of were food, but to each his own right? So without further ado, here is my cheap thrill list!

1.Definitely my number 1, no-fail pick-up, regardless if I have 100 o 1000- Zagu! A medium-sized milk tea with extra pearls and crystals! Love!- PHP 46
2.Back issues of magazines like Lucky, Teen Vogue and Domino- PHP 72
3.Pippo's ice cream- PHP 30 for a scoop in a waffle cone.
4.Cute girl panties from Metro Ayala- PHP 39 (i think this is an overshare?! haha)
5.KFC Chik'n fillet! I had this last night with alveel! PHP 78 and it comes with a drink and fries- you can't beat that!
7.Potato Corner Trio (Sour cream, BBQ and Cheese)- PHP 70
8.DVDs or should I say DBDs cos that's how the sellers say it!- 3 for PHP 100 (where my mom gets them)
9.Street food like banana-q and turon! Im not sure how much they are now but pretty sure no more than P10 for each!
10.Those red ribbon snack deals where you get a palabok, iced tea and a slice of cake for 75! I think my love for palabok is becoming apparent.
11. And one more for the road! Mommy's Pizza! The last time I checked one box of these cost PHP 72 and i've been a fan ever since a box cost PHP 36!

What about you? What are your cheap thrills?
