The Original Is Always Better Than The Sequel

 

Nevermind the copycats they say...

But sometimes how will you ignore them if they continue imitating everything about you?

Your latest hair color, your favorite music, your favorite makeup, your fashion taste, the current book that you're reading, your new collection.. and many others that sometimes you really wanna punch them in the face for being that shameless.

Sad to say, I grew up having them. I'm just an ordinary person fascinated by different things with questionable style and eccentric taste in everything. I do whatever floats my boat. I admire people, I collect things.. I hoard things.. I do feel that sometimes I'm obsessed with something.. and maybe that sets me different from others. I always wanted to be different.

I don't go with the flow, and I NEVER imitated someone I know (especially when she's just an ordinary person) coz she happens to be "cool". I always believe I can be "cooler" than anyone else if I'll just be myself. I'm saddened by the fact that there are people who imitates other people..those just ordinary ones or someone they know. I'm not saying that ordinary people aren't cool. It's just not appropriate. Give her a break. Please. Copycats are annoying, really. Let that person do whatever she wants and do your own thing. Explore and discover your own interest. If I imitate an icon or a famous celebrity (well.. for instance.. when I was young I was a big Britney Spears fan) that would be more acceptable, especially if that public figure made you a better person. But imitating your neighbor? your schoolmate? your officemate? someone's girl? that isn't right.

A Britney Spears Copy Cat

I've loved her. Coz of her I learn a lot of dance choreography. My dancing skills have improved. I've passed several dance auditions. The famous dance organization of De La Salle Health Sciences Institute has welcomed me after dancing to Britney's I'm a slave for you. I did the exact choreography from her VMA performace. I've flattened my abs and did tummy crunches, pierced my belly button. While the other young girls after school goes out with their friends, I was at home learning these dance steps on my own.

And also, I've learned how to apply makeups too!. My highschool friends, dancemates

and officemates has labeled me as Britney not because I look like her.  It's because I dance like her. I've made it. My talent has improved.That's the best thing that happened... and she used to be my IDOL. I still love her now though..

I never imitated someone from my dance org. They all dance really good! We do have our own Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, J.lo.. I never piss other people. Britney is an icon. Not an ordinary person that will get pissed if she discovers I imitate her.

The Social Network

I remember during "Friendster" days I used to have 6 followers, I know 4 of them personally,

the 2 others I just found out that they're ex-girlfriends of my ex-bf and now my husband. They ALWAYS view my profile, as in almost EVERYDAY. Don't you have anything else to do with your life, girls? The other 4, 3 of them were someone I know coz

they're with the same company I was working with.One used to be the current girlfriend of my special friend. I started to know them by names coz of not just topping the list of "who's viewed me?" on my friendster, but they even followed me on Multiply, Twitter, and now Blogger. Yes, some of them learned how to blog as well. Boy, they really don't know what to do with their lives..Some blogs about makeup, but they just don't know how to apply it,

or what makeup brands are the best. Some blogs about high fashion, label themselves

as fashionistas but can only afford streetwears and casual clothes from Forever 21.

Some loves taking photos with their "lavish" lifestyles, knowing their wage couldn't really afford it. I just hope they won't pretend. Just be real. Try to discover your own talents.

I'm sure you all have it. You just haven't discovered it yet.

How do they become copycats? When I started collecting Hello Kitty stuffs, 2 out of 6 started collecting it as well, and they even asked me where do I get those stuffs.

Whenever I post about makeups, 3 of them asked me about my makeup collection

and one started bragging about her makeup collection, skills and whatsoever. Yeah right.

Well, I really used to dance, and suddenly they're dancers as well! They post videos with their mediocre takes of Britney and Beyonce choreographies,which was often used by my group mates in dance.

One started photography, coz I mentioned I wanted to learn it. Ok sure goodluck to you.

One even imitated my graduation hair and makeup. Hah! They listen to music I listen to, they like the brands of clothes I like as well, they started wearing cat eye makeups coz I loved it, they started wearing circle lenses coz I used to wear one. The annoying thing about it is they even have the nerve to ask me WHERE DO YOU BUY IT??

Wait girls, this is not a competition.Flowers don't compete with other flowers. They just bloom. yeah, ok suddenly we're all flowers.

The Cross Fire

First there is this dance organization in my town that are really obsessed with my dance group from De La Salle. They watch our videos. She happened to be the my brother's friend. Then they started dancing to the same song, and worst, same costume, same choreography. We argued coz I told her try to rip other's moves from youtube, there are better dancers there and why us? Sarcastically she said " so what?" being a self confessed war freak, it awakened the sleeping dragon in me... I said a lot of hurtful foul words and she was stunned.She said sorry and I don't know what happened to their group.

If she only asked for my help, I'll give her better tips and better concept.

Second is this, the infamous heart shaped heels. I saw it from an online shop and I bought 2, one for me and one for my bestfriend. This girl asked me where did I get it coz she saw me wearing it on a party and she happened to be there. Being kind hearted at first I told her the online shop and the price. After a month she bought one, and posted a picture similar to it.

My friends told me she's imitating me. I don't mind. Until she started telling her friends on facebook that I was imitating her the whole time! Hah! My eyes went red. I posted on my wall and tagged her name. I asked her for a confrontation and then in person she said sorry while crying. I'm a bad person I know. I just don't like it if people are being b*tchy or underestimating my ability. I'm warning you I'm the worst person when I'm mad.

Even my husband tries to avoid it. My close friends don't want to see it as well.

I TRANSFORM. That's why I'm two faced. There's a side of me you don't want to see.

I'm not a great person. I just do what I want, just leave me alone and there will be peace.

**I want to post pictures showing similarities and more.. but that might start as another
wild fire again ^___^**

Since I've got the BEST "bestfriend" in the world, she bought me another one

and told me "ok annoy her more :) "

Once again I'm saddened by what I observed with young kids these days.

They envy each other. They love imitating each other.

Atta Marie

My young cousin who's also a young online blogger, has been imitated by young girls at her age many times. She's really simple and she loves staying indoors. She's always in front of her laptop, or if not, she designs her own top and shoes. If she's not doing both, then she must be eating in the kitchen.

One time I asked her "you know ____? are you aware that she's your copycat?... haha"

and she said "yes", she smiled shyly and she's really quiet. Unlike me, she's cool and though she's annoyed she ignores them.. Atta is unique and she knows what she wants.

She likes to read books, cute fashion, music of One Direction, Hunger Games, The Fault in our stars. Sadly she has mini copy cats for all of it.

Atta, one day, they'll test your patience. Smile for now :)

It doesn't just happen in a normal, ordinary life. Beyonce has been tagged as a

swagger jacker.. jacked J.Lo's swag in many ways. The way Beyonce does it makes me think of someone so annoying.. hahahaha. Way to go, B!

 
 
 

I do want to gain friends, If only some of these girls were nice and grateful.

It's just ok if you want to copy someone or get her idea, but not always,

and do not start a fight, especially when you know

that you're not the original. Talk about PLAGIARISM :)

Emo Days No More!! Happy Bug is Back to Blog

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful, sexy, smart and lovely girl in the world... ME!!!

 Yey!! I turned 26 and I want to reward myself with all my hardwork..

but then I realized that it's mom who does all the hardwork...^^

I really want to apologize for being so emo these past few days.

I guess I'm really just stressed out with everything that is happening with my life.

 Some events are just too overwhelming, but in the end I'm still happy.

So for today's blog it's basically about keeping up with what

happened to me this June, and things that really made me feel special.

Well I wanna start off with one gift I rewarded for myself.

I don't have enough money to splurge on expensive clothes,

but there are things that I might possibly like, and when I like it I will do everything to get it.

 I rarely see shoes that I like these days since I'm pretty much obsessed with makeups.

My admiration for the Kardashians never end,

 and I do a Kardashian reality show marathon every night,

 though I don't know much about clothes & branded goods,

I drool and lust over their expensive designer shoes and bags.

There's this particular ankle boots that I really want the first time I saw it worn by Kim.

I always try to look for replicas or something that looks close to it but I haven't seen any.

Even if I want to have the same shoes that she's wearing, omg it's Prada

.

It costs a whopping $890 and you can purchase it in Saks.

If I convert it into peso, let's say the value of 1 dollar is 43 pesos,

then 890 multiplied by 43 is equivalent to 38,270 pesos!!! Enough to send me back to college for one semester!!

Fortunately, there is this local online store and I found the "almost" exact replica of this shoes that I've been dying to have. Compared to the original, the heels and the platform are not as high as Prada's, and I'm fine with it

coz anything higher than 4 inches will definitely break my ankle, and in worst case, I might break my neck from possibly tripping accidentally due to my extreme clumsiness.

I received my order after a month and when I took it out from its

packaging, all I can say is whoooaaa it's so surreal!!

I'm not sure though, on when will I be able to use it.

It's just sitting there on my shoe rack..

So now, what happened on my birthday?

It was stressful. It's simple, but really a stressful one.

My birthday is always composed of 3 celebrations.

Pre- intra- post.

June 22nd - I promised my officemates that I'm gonna treat them

so I brought a dinner. We're only just 6 employees in our comfy office.

I told my other co-workers to bring their hubbies.

June 23rd - I met my friend whom I know since I was six years old.

I'm so touched he wanted to see me prior to my birthday coz he bought a present.

It's the shirt that I like.

It was used during the historical star formation from my

previous Alma Mater.

I wanted to treat him with lots of foods from McDonald's

since he requested for it.. but then he only asked for a happy meal

and a large float coz he's been suffering from tummy pains for 2 weeks

in a row. Poor him.

Then after meeting Russell I went out for a dinner with my cousins.

After having fun and munching on foods, we went to different makeup stores

and tried swatching lippies at the back of our hands and on our lips.

I really enjoy hanging out with them. They've grown so fast

and they can travel anywhere, and ride a public vehicle comfortably no matter how far

the destination is, whereas for me,

I couldn't still cross the street. They're smarter and have better sense

of direction. I therefore think they will succeed better than me

in the future. 

Around 1:30am of June 24th I went online

and I'm happy to see a lot of birthday greetings and wishes.

My boyfriend called, my family's still awake.. but I was sad that time.

I was thinking of my two friends, who had been with me

since I was little, and now they went to Singapore to work.

It's my first time to celebrate my birthday without them.

Then I was tagged on facebook that there's a video

that my bestfriend had made.

I thought it was just a typical picture compilation.

So the video starts with a simple greeting,

then my pictures with my family,

boyfriend, bestfriend and other friends....

I was literally holding back my tears....

coz mom and dad & my bro's also watching it...

too embarassed to bawl.. and they'll gonna troll on me

if I cry.. I knew it..

but the freaking video is 8 minutes long!!!!!!

In the middle of the vid I can't help it.

I couldn't hold back my tears,

my throat's already dry and my eyes are about

to pop out!! Damn, I cried!!

At first my Mom & Dad are like:

then mom's like:

then dad's like:

and my bro's like:

I was so embarassed but definitely touched.

I couldn't contain both my happiness and sadness.

The state of ambivalence made me like this:

I miss my bestfriends.

 I wish they were with me, having fun on my special day.

I only communicate with them through skype.

On the brighter side, I do received a few cute gifts.

Getting old means getting less, but I'm happy anyway.

Russell gave me a shirt from De La Salle University's

Human Star Event.

when worn:

Nikki gave me two pairs of cute earrings,

which best defines my personality..

After using the second generation of iphone for quite sometime

and still enjoying it, I got a new phone thanks to my

boyfriend..

These days I'm so focused with work.. busy pretending to be busy.

I have so many things in mind and lots of plan to accomplish

before this year ends.

Next on my wish list is everything Chanel!!!

I want a 2.55 flap bag..

A cc logo earrings with pearl drop

A foundation compact..

And I really do want to have these from Louboutin!!!

The Impossible Dream.

I'm not rich, I'm always broke, but it's free to dream. :)

Personal Rant: Goodbye 25!!

I have nothing to blog about this month, I don't know..

I just don't feel like writing, doing something or even putting makeup on.

Too lazy to go out, dress up, or even wear a bra... LOL

I'm too lazy for everything. I guess I need another motivation.

My birthday's coming... few days from now I'll turn 26..

Most of my students, whose age ranges from 30's to mid 40's, are

saying I'm still sooo young to accomplish things and follow my dreams.

But living in the Philippines is quite different. 26 means you're a fully grown adult.
You need to be accomplished in life.. or have a few savings at the bank.

I've been working my ass off for 4 years but still I'm not satisfied with my status..
hence I got the idea of working abroad.

I used to experience a lot of pressure about the idea of tying the knot,

but still, things are not falling into its right place..

Now I have a new goal, but then things are still not falling into its damn place.

Excuse my frustrations in life, though I'm not 50 yet, I think I'm having mid life crisis,
or rather quarter life crisis?!

A month ago I had a plan to work in Singapore with my friends.

But then, maybe, it's not the right time yet.. mom disapproved. dad disapproved.

boyfriend disapproved. bf's family disapproved. aunts and uncles disapproved.

So you think I still can go to SG without messing up with myself?
PSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! &@(#!$%^!!!

Sadly, my besftriends flew there 2 weeks ago already.

I'm not sure if I can follow them as soon as possible.

I also think I'm not ready yet, but I miss my two bestfriends.. so bad.

Let me see, living for a year as a 25 year old adult is kinda hard.

Good things will come but bat shits are there too..

Not sure if there's a significant milestone that happened to me lately..

Life's pretty stagnant and I'm freaking tired of it, but then there are times

that I do enjoy living in my own separate world.
Will I ever commit suicide? HELL NO!!
I don't have any problems, I'm just a little disappointed
at this point in my life, but it's just for today.
Tomorrow my mood's gonna soar again.

As I'm getting older I hate it when people bug me, and approach me.
I just hate some people... I'm trying to like them but it's damn hard.

I got a pretty good advice from my highschool teacher last Saturday and he

taught me how to handle life's stressors and how not to stress myself.

Thank you Sir!! It's really helpful.

I don't expect much from my life as of now, I do enjoy the little things that I have..

my makeups.. and time with my family, friends.

There's no need to hurry and rush things, I still have a long way to go.

Life's offer is still unknown and I know God has better plans..

Sorry God if sometimes I can't wait and I'm too impatient...

I'll try to become a better person, better than I was.

One thing I learned as a 25 year old woman...

DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING.

If it'll happen, IT WILL.

Once again, please excuse my emo self.
Been suffering from multiple personality disorder lately...

2011 Year End Special

WARNING:
LONG POST!!
2011 RECAP

Time really flies!!
 2012 is coming and I'm having a lot of positive vibes about it.
I think something big will happen,
but I really hope it's not the doomsday.

I want to have a flashback
about what happened to me this year,

 well it's not just about me,

but also to those people surrounding me,
 the trends, and everything that is happening.

Let me start by looking back with my crazy haircuts,
colors and hairstyles for this year.
 I know it's a bad habit
 but everytime I'm stressed out
I cut/dye my own poor hair.

For the first half of 2011,
 I got tired that I cut my hair really short.

It's because I had to attend a wedding
 and I couldn't curl my hair since some were long
and some were extremely short.

HAIRCUT/ HAIR COLORS

January  2011

my favorite cut and color, coz I think it looks good..

March 2011

then suddenly I wanted to go blonde but epically failed.

You see, I even looked too dark, it didn't complement 

my complexion.

April 2011

I changed my work around May and was given a yellow scrubsuit.
It didn't work well with my blonde hair, I looked like a corn!!
 I decided to dye my hair black.

June 2011

I changed job again and got tired from plain black
so I went to my friend's salon to get another dye.
I expected a good outcome, unfortunately the hairdresser
is a biatch.


September 2011

  

I told him to dye my hair red,

but wash/bleach it first coz my locks

were really dark prior to coloring.

Stupid fag didn't listen and did it

on his own way and not a single fuck was given.

So the tips of my hair were really dark

but the top part was really light!!

really terrible!! The worst of all,

he even called me stupid coz he said

I didn't know anything about hairdressing.

I promised myself I'll be kind and patient

but then I lost it..

so it ended into a huge fight!! If only didn't act stupidly then maybe

I wouldn't lose my temper and he will still have his job.

We had common friends and didn't even regarded me as one.

I tried to fix it and dyed it with Celtic copper
October 2011

 

 

 but his fail was too great that I couldn't fix it!!!

My hair has suffered a lot and I'm really sad about it.

After a few months I used my own knowledge and skills again and
I bleached it for the second time.

November 2011

This has been the lightest haircolor I ever tried and I'm not even 

ready to dye it blond. My original plan was to dye it red after a few days

but mom said I will definitely go bald if I continue my evil plan.

 

But I'm loving it so I have no regrets.

I'm so hard headed and I never quit, I noticed my hair's getting long and boring
 and I cut it into Korean~Harajuku style.. in which I failed again to achieve
and I was too lazy to style the spikes and layers.

November 2011

now I'm planning to have a normal, healthy hair by 2012.
***************************************************************
** I dyed my hair again and this time it's dark brown mixed with red,
the results are amazing and this is how I really wanted it to be.
Maybe I really should stick with it.
*****************************************************************

MAKEUPS

I started wearing pale pink lippies for the first half of 2011,
 then peachy to coral lippies for the late part.

I purchased a lot of lippies for this year, which is really bad.
I remember back in 2007, I love gold eyeshadows and lipglosses.
For 2008, it's the bright, colorful eyeshadows.
2009, korean style eyeliners with glitters
2010, Smokey black eyeshadows
and for 2011: Smokey Browns.

My favorite makeup look for this year:

It looks natural and glowing.
I used peach blush mixed with pinkand few swipe of bronzers.
I'm too pale so this combinationgives some color and glow to my cheeks.

I considered many times to try fake tanning
but it was too high maintenance and streaky.

Smokey browns (though you can't see it in my monolids)
Peachy pink blush and pale pink lips.

For my lips here I used Kim Kardashian's fave combo:
Mac Angel lipstick mixed with Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss!!!

 

Although I'm pale the lippie turned out to be great.

For 2012 I'm rooting for Khloe Kardashian's coral lips.^^

Latest makeup additions for this year:

DRAMAS/SERIES

I got a new job last May, but it was short lived.

I used to have plenty of time to watch dramas,

 movies and even reading few books and e-book.

Honestly, I just finished watching the Korean Drama

Boys over Flowers this year,

and I regret that I didn't watch it earlier.

I love Gu Jun Pyo!!! -.-

 

Lately I'm so obsessed with the Korean Family Drama

Ojakgyo Brothers,

which is the story of a family that lives in Ojakgyo farm.

I still need to finish a few more episodes.

This is by far is the best drama for me for 2011.

Why do korean dramas seem so appealing?

 Aren't they hoootttttt????!!!

For American reality series,

nothing will beat

Keeping up with the Kardashians Season 6
I only watch it coz I love their makeups & style.
I don't get their high maintenance poshy life though.
Sometimes I cringe a little while watching them
spend money..
  

MUSIC

I listen to every songs from every singers possible.

This year, the most influential singer goes to 2ne1.

Every songs and music videos for this year's good too.

I love Nicki Minaj,

a few Gaga songs,

as well as Rihanna

and Selena Gomez.

The best song goes to SUPERBASS!!

Until now I'm having a hard time

rapping it like a boss.

I don't know who's copying who but it's the trend nowadays I guess

DANCE

 goes to Party Rock Anthem..

and the SHUFFLE dance

which is popularized by Quest Crew

is really popular in South Korea

and my students were trying to

learn the dance.

In the Philippines, it's the dougie. lol

MOVIES

The most awaited movie for me this year is Breaking Dawn.

then Transformers part 3 in 3D & Kung Fu Panda 2.

YEAR OF THE RABBIT MEANS:

Multiplying.

I noticed that many women got pregnant

and gave birth this year.

Some of my highschool friends

 are pregnant again for the second time.

Some were first timers,

 mostly unexpected.

I have a very close friend who is confirmed to be preggoo

I won't tell who.. let's find it out next year!!

WEDDINGS

Bah! Wedding bells are everywhere.

Either it's really the year where everyone

wants to get married, or I'm getting old and it's

about time for my generation to get hitched.

Interesting isn't it?

I received a lot of wedding invitations,

but some got married without even inviting me!!!

Wedding color of the year is RED I guess.

I've seen brides carrying red bouquet of flowers.

I think it's being influenced by the Vampire era.

Even if I google some wedding ideas, it is mostly in red.

Pre-nuptial photos are usually inspired by forest and dark concepts.

3 Big Weddings happened.

The Royal Wedding

The Fairytale -72 days Wedding

The Mortal & Immortal Wedding

I've been to happy weddings.

Most of my friends got married,

I even got a special participation with my Bezzie.
Her uncle got married to a very pretty bride.

 

My close friend Ritchel tied the knot too.

Everyone wants to take a plunge on their

wedding reception.^^

Another close friend of mine

got engaged on her birthday.

 

I'm soooo happy for her!!!

but I'm sad at the same time coz I know for sure

we won't hang out more often in the near future.

Sigh!! happy endings for everyone

while my bestfriend and I are crying LOL

BTW,

one really close friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend.

Very unpredictable. Again, I won't tell who...

FRIENDS

I gained a lot of Korean and Filipino friends,

and I attended many good gatherings as well.

I've been to amusement park twice LOL

Marc & Joyce's Birthday Celebration

January 2011
What's the best way to celebrate your 24th birthday?
Go to the amusement park. We're not getting any younger!!

 

 The best part is when we got wet while riding Rio Grande.
The rapids were too harsh and scary. Everything is wet!!
Our hair, bag, shoes and undies.

My Birthday and Rio's Birthday Celebration

June 2011

A few weeks before my birthday there was a typhoon,
and on the day itself of this trip on my 25th Birthday, the classes were
cancelled and the typhoon was too strong. It was raining cats and dogs.

 

 

Reunion with my Highschool Friends
October 2011

My classmate since Kindergarden named Pipoy had his vacation
after cruising for a year. He asked for reunion and said it's his treat.
I was watching television and found out that it's really foggy in Tagaytay City.
The reason why it's foggy? Consecutive Typhoons!! What else??
The best trips of my life are always combined with typhoon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We dined at Army Navy, had burgers and pizzas.

It was really foggy, rainy and beautiful.
I love my shots with the trees.

EVENTS

No major concerts for me this year, and unfortunately

I failed to see Super Junior for the second time.

Damn!
their concert ticket was soooo expensive.

Last year I went to Rain's concert

and the ticket was really cheap for general admission and silver tickets.

So I just went to Filipino annual events

Philippine Tattoo Expo
also known as
Dutdutan 2011

It's my first time to go there with my boyfriend and brother.
I envy those young girls who are getting a tattoo and joining the competition.

 >

 

 Why am I wearing a leather jacket? cos there's a typhoon again
and it's really cold.

  

Event Shirts and Freebies

Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 5

My boyfriend likes rock concert so even if sometimes
I feel really bored I go with him and have fun.
This year it's my brother's first time to watch an event like this.
He has been a killjoy and now he regretted that 
he didn't go to Rain's concert last year.

BIRTHDAYS and FAMILY EVENTS

Two of my cousins celebrated their birthday
in a fun way, I was so involved with everything
from makeups to gowns, invitations and cakes.

Micah turned 7.

Shane turned 18.

 Also, Kim had her prom.

 

 I was too busy doing their makeups.

Good and bad things happened to me this year.

But I lived up with my resolution from last year.

I promised I will try to be less bully online, and be more patient.

I have a few accomplishment and few achievements.

 We should think positively and say 2012 is going to be a good year.
There are so many things that can possibly happen for one day,
what more if we have another 365 days?

The world is not going to end in 2012.
Why? Coz I still need to get married by 2013.
^_______^

Something to look forward to next year:

Ghost Rider 2 3D

Breaking Dawn Part 2

and I really hope that next year the one that I've been
waiting for will happen....

The event organizer, although they aren't confirming it yet,
told fans that this group will perform by next year.
The fans were not hoping for anything, but
I hope they're not lying, coz if they are, then
THIS IS FOR YOU

PLEASE DON'T DISTURB OUR PEACE.
