"People think that a soulmate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants.But a true soulmate is a mirror - the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soulmate is probably the most important person that you'll ever meet because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soulmate forever? Nah, it's too painful."
-EAT, PRAY, LOVE
Badtrip ang mga taong binasa lang si Bob Ong dahl nauso, lalo na yung mga nag-quote ng mga hndi naman niya quote kahit hindi kilala kung cno nga ba si BO. Dahil sa inyo, naging overrated at commercialized siya. Kaya ung carefree at who-the-hell-cares niyang pagsusulat, naging conscious at trying hard magpa-impress. Resulta? Latest book na "Ang mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan": 'paker' (his word) na libro! His worst book yet, baka mas malala pa ung mga susunod.
Bag, bagged, bagging (The Bag Show) - updated
Bag, momoy, more to life, piktyur, tawanan jan, udeng moments 0 commentsI bought a new bag from a direct selling company, and realized I have grown quite a collection of them, so I decided to take a pic:
Bags!
The head that inserted itself below belongs to my niece who, just recently, blown up to a size of a mini-sumo wrestler. So an idea immediately popped in: why not let her model my bags? Impromptu fashion show begun! (Notice that she got tired later on and just sat eating a donut. What a prima dona.)
Model for the day
DS (Direct selling bag)
Baguio bag! (Bought on my birthday when I celebrated it in Baguio with Udeng)

From Vietnam, a gift from Mamu
I made myself using tons of safety pins 
Donut bag! From Udeng
Bought in Mindoro when we went for Lola's wake :(
Free from Avon (as you can see with the model's expressions, she believes it was her bag and I'm just borrowing)
Another Vietnam-bought, a hand-me-down from Mamu
An ukay find! Nice no?
Laptop bag that I haven't used ever

My formal party bag
Another Avon bag that Momoy (model) uses for her dollsAfter an exhilarating photo shoot, we prepared lunch (actually, Udeng cooked, I just assembled) - BCT with fries!
Kiss the cheese
Udeng and Issa*Side-thought: We have talked about people who are combining their names to form a new one. We agreed that it will be weird for us since our names together will be Eugene + Issa = Gene + Issa = Ginisa??!
Anyway, the shirt I'm wearing was a customized one. I found the joke at our company's database and decided I will definitely wear it. It reads like this:
Melai in I Do: "I know, right?"Off to work!
Cheers,
Issa
UPDATE:
Just last night, I found this purple (my fave color) laptop backpack that I definitely need to have, so I bought it. (Actually, Udeng did.) Good thing Momoy's already awake before I went to office, so we had a photoshoot part 2.
Laptop bag!More to come (I wish, I hope, I dream.)
Almost a year after my last blog entry, was overwhelmed by other blogging sites.
Agenda for the day - clothes!
I am a frustrated designer who made my own baccalaureate and oath-taking (for CPA) dresses. My present fixation right now is... *drumroll* TSHIRTS! After spending tons to have them customized, I've discovered the answer to my problem - iron-on transfer paper. Whew! For my first project, what better time but the first screening of my wizard alter ego's movie.
Since the latest installment focuses on Hallows and Horcruxes, why not do one for each?
HORCRUX
Found this logo on Matt Dearden's site. Terrific, terrific sketch artist. Edited on Paint,
printed on a transfer paper, and ironed on a tank top! Result:
Udeng bought advanced tickets days before, so after office, we went to Market! Market! for our piece of the wizard game.
Pops!
Waiting...It was a bit slow-paced than the other adaptations, but mostly for those who haven't read the book. Winner!
HALLOWS
HALLOWS
Turned out our company movie night-out was the next day, so I need to charge overtime hours on my clothes-making clock. Decided to represent the last book's title and channel the master of death. Grabbed my vinyl transfer paper (no time for printing, just cutting) and immediately chopped off, then ironed again. Result:
Elder Wand + Ressurection Stone + Invisibility CloakTurned out I have to finish some documentation due for review the next day, so I was not able to join, but still rocked it on the client field work.
Client's CRMore to come!
Cheers,
Issa
