Rubie tells it all

          I renewed my cellphone line from G-Mix to G-Flex due to my incontrollable bill increase lately. Thanks to Mich who told me how sulit G-Flex is since the 800 pesos I will be paying every month is consumable. Unlike my G-Mix before, I only have a specific number of texts and minutes of call every month. I feel like I have lost three years of cheap phone bills since G-Flex was launched around three years ago. I guess that is what happens when I have been a Globe line user for almost 7 years now. Well, better late than never!

          I never really thought anyone reads my blog anymore. I just feel like I've neglected it so much already and my life is just getting boring. I guess not. 

          I love life. I thrive in it, I explore and breathe within the powers that it brings to me. But sometimes, it can be so unfair. I know that. Life is unfair, that's what makes everything in the world balanced. People get good luck because at times they just need a break but sometimes they need bad luck as well. It keeps them sane and basically, human. I hate seeing people that are so close to my heart get hurt so much that even if it's not mine to burden, I become an empath and absorb all those emotional baggages. Right now, I am an emotional wreck. First thing I know, the whole world is rejoicing with the happiness that I feel and the next, I am at the corner of my room sulking. I'm not much of a crybaby, but my tears do fall faster than a canon ball when provoked. And so far, it has fallen at the right times and has done me good. It's good to cry out the things that confuses the mind. So don't be afraid to cry.

           The stress of enlistment and enrollment in UP has finished. And I honestly wasn't so worked up about it. Maybe because I was able to get most of my subjects and only missed one which is my major so I was automatically a priority for that. The first day was spent enlisting and confirming my subjects plus a wonderful photo shoot with a great photographer in the UP Lagoon. Our theme was bohemian like which very much complemented our location. The photographs are very beautiful. Here are a few samples, the rest are in my multiply.

One With Nature

Perfect Happiness

Click on the picture for a better view. I absolutely loved my eyes in the left picture. Because of that photo, I appreciated my eyes more and that I would never put any colored contacts over them again. Natural is beautiful. :) 

My right picture is very much the result of motion. I was asked to flip my hair and then smile the biggest smile on camera. Apparently, my friends think that my smile in that picture shows so much happiness in me and I'm glad that's how they felt. I am happy and I'm happy it shows.

There were three models, Pam, Joshua and me, with the Photography of Mikhail Quijano. We also did wonderful group shots that I simply enjoyed doing. I think the most exciting part of that is the enjoyment we feel while shooting. It's not all like business but also a lot of fun. Modeling can be really fun too!

Last Portraits of Summer

        It's funny how I would have the urge to blog when I have this huge surge of feelings overflowing from within me. My fingers have tendencies to start typing whenever I'm just about to explode. In theory, besides food, blogging keeps me sane. :)

       So sorry for the momentary hiatus. Life's been tough. Plus, I'm blogging in two places now. Please frequently check out Candy's Coundil of Cool Blog every now and then because I might have an entry or so. But I'm not abandoning this blog for sure, I still have a lot of random rants to talk about in here that I can't really publicly announce to all the Candy Girls and Boys out there. (Assuming that they haven't clicked the link in my profile leading here to my blog. :p)

       My friend told me how he pissed his best friend (a girl) because of something that he said. But he does admit that it's his fault and I second to that because he was indeed, wrong. That's just it, isn't it? Some men just basically do not think before they speak, that's why they end up hurting people. Do you want to know the worse part? They don't even know that they already are. So, to my friend, it's about time that you keep in mind that women easily get hurt, the smallest things can hurt them more than the big ones. Just apologize, you'll be fine. But make sure you know what you're apologizing for, okay?

       Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill showed their season finales already. Dang! Not my kind of endings. Cliffhangers, disappointments, curiosity and pretty much a lot more. Sometimes it just plainly sucks why gossip girl and one tree hill air at the same day - it's just too much drama to handle. It totally aggravated what I was feeling as of the moment.

       UGH.

       Oh well, might as well wait until the next season.

       There's just one thing, I am not; naive. Probably, I am the most emphatic person you'll ever find.

       Cuidate everyone!

I want an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

Is it too much to ask? Haha. Okay, maybe it is.

Maybe, a few years from now. No, make that a lot of years from now.

But it's not a sin to dream, right? Besides, it's too conspicuous here in the Philippines.

Still. I want one.

Summer classes is about to end - goodbye dance life. Hello, nosebleed biology. Nonetheless, I'm okay with my summer 2008. I don't really expect much when summer comes - just to be both relaxed and preoccupied at the same time. Huh? That didn't make any sense. But when you're me, it does. And if you are one of the people who knows me then you completely understand. Minor and Major setbacks have come for the past weeks but I'm truly grateful. What's summer when there's no drama right? It adds that zest in my life. For the very much happy person that I am, I realized I need to feel both sides of the world as well.

However, right now I am happy. I feel overly blessed for everything that's been happening. School has been okay, I mean having two PEs and Sociology 10 is not any burden at all so I still had my chances to explore whatever opportunities that came my way. Well for one thing, I never realized that I can also be really good in street dancing. Yeah baby, give me some Step Up 2 right here! No, modesty aside, I think dancing has always been an innate talent of mine. My body just - follows. But here's one thing that I never really imagined I would do; modeling. Okay, I don't condemn that fact that I am abnormally tall for a girl (and my friends know how much I wished I lose 2 inches of my height) but it does have its advantages. And though so many known and random people have told me about my shear potential to model, it never really came into my mind to do so. But I admit, I always loved to be in the COA. (I leave you to decipher that) Fortunately, a new door slightly opened for me and now I experienced my first taste of walking down the catwalk for L'Oreal. (PIctures are available in my multiply) It was definitely a privilege and an honor. Nothing can ever replace that moment where I was. It's priceless. Who knows, maybe soon, I'll have more projects. We'll all soon find out, right?

Candy! officially started our Council of Cool blog so everyone can check it out. :) Just go here.

I think I've said too much. I basically blogged the fact that I've been staring at a picture of an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish for almost 10 minutes now. Soon, you'll be mine Aston Martin. :)

Cuidate everyone!

    Damn it - slowly, it's breaking.

    Edward said, "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light
and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there
was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon,
everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the
stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything." from New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

    *tears*

    Thank you Edward and Bella.

        I must confess that I'm still one of those dumbstruck teenagers who fall in love with characters created by the pages of a book. Because right now, I am so in love with Edward Cullen. A month ago, I was so overwhelmed by everyone wanting to read it that I didn't want to join the bandwagon. Plus, my younger sister bought the book so she basically has the right to read it first. And since I still had school then, I was so preoccupied by schoolwork that I had no time to read it. Now that it's finally summer, I got Twilight from my sister and started reading. Once I began to read, I couldn't stop reading until I realized I was almost done! It's that easy to read; very, very light reading. To those who don't even read that much, Twilight won't fail to change that. Everyone who is anyone will enjoy it.

       Right now, I am in the clouds thinking of Edward. Okay, that's my obsessiveness talking. The book just really gets into you. Most especially that I'm the type who gets really attached to something. I most often cry after reading a book since all the novels I would are emotional ones. Anyway, it's just so funny that I would be drooling over this book when my close friend, Luey, was feeling the exact same way but it was already a month ago. And now, when I told her I finished reading the book, we were both enthusiastically talking about everything about Twilight!

       Please, please, please try to read the book. I bet you'll feel that same way as I do. :) It's funny that after reading the book, I found myself smiling and thinking how ridiculously impossible Edward could live in reality. First, there are no vampires here in the real world or a painstakingly heart melting one at that. Second, there is just no man that could be as protective as him. But really, a man who could hold that much control of feeling both good and bad almost every time he's with the love of his life is a rarity. Well, maybe because of his vampire issue that he had to be overly protective. I mean, I could feel that he would die of Bella in a snap. Well, I have to take it against him that he can't be easily killed so he's more loose of getting himself hurt. And that his superhuman skills are no match for normal humans. But still, I can't help but love his strong and mysterious aura.

       Haha! It's so crazy, I sound like a psycho. :p Maybe, I should just stop and leave it at this: Buy yourself a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and let's see how you'll feel afterwards.

       To other matters, Street Dance was really FUN today! I'm so excited for class tomorrow. :) Sociology 10 was fun! I like studying about the society; how it works and the people basically. My tap shoes are killing me. Ugh. Must.get.it.fixed.

       Oh and thanks to Kat, I have the e-book copy of New Moon! Must.start.reading!

       Cuidate everyone!

        Yesterday was such a great day! :) Today, it's just neutral.

        I finally got my non-professional license today! Congratulations to me! But I had to sacrifice my two PE classes during the morning for that and I almost would have missed my Socio 10 class if not for God's divine blessings. I'm just happy that I am over that because the LTO might be sick of me already because I have been there four times in a week. A fan? No, just a series of bad luck but today seemed just right. And that made me smile. :)

       I don't know but I feel alone today. *sobs*

       Maybe it's just the jitters or maybe it's... anyway, I even missed lunch. But thankfully, one of my top favorite movies of all time is showing in Star Movies. It's a classic movie starred by Drew Barrymore that if I am not mistaken, 10 years ago. It's a Cinderella story where a prince meets a beautiful woman who was truly just a peasant but soon they fought for their love and live happily ever after. Honestly, those movies get to me. And besides that main plot, the movie just brings this 16th century poetic dialogs that I just fall in love with. I need an original DVD copy of this. I just don't know where to find one. Oh well, that movie is making me smile. :)

       My two favorite quotes:

       Leonardo da Vinci: I know that a life without love is no life at all.
       Henry: And love without trust?

       Grand Dame: And though Cinderella and her prince did live happily ever after, the point gentleman, is that they lived.

       Sometimes, to get away from everything that's clouding the heart, just smile and even in just small ways, it helps.

       Cuidate everyone!
