Brand ME

This Wednesday (today) was supposed to be dedicated to my lazy day, that involves too much reading, sleeping, blog-hopping, watching and so much more. But instead, I had to attend a seminar event in school for my ORDEV-C subject. 

I know that this seminar was a mandatory event that we had to participate in, most of the times students won't take this seriously. I, myself, is even disturb of the thought that we had to attend an event, even at the time I have my free day. But I guess my day was worth it then.

The seminar I attended was entitled "Brand Me". It was supposed to start at 1, but to think about Filipino time (I hate this trait of us, Filipinos), we started around quarter to 2. Ehh, I weren't bored since I have my two friends beside me. Hihi

Once the speaker started talking, I tried to entertain and learn things that I could possibly apply with myself, since the name of this event partakes the me. First part was boring, but when he started to show percentages and rankings of the Philippines in comparison with the other countries in terms of the internet, I got quite interested. He stated unknown, but now known past happenings and events. Some like, the multiply site crashed some past year in December because too much Filipinos or people from the Philippines were uploading pictures of their celebrations (I bet this was during the time multiply was still famous). The news that famous celebrity stars are dead, like Kim Kardasian, Justin Timberlake and the rest; turns out it was just for the AIDS campaign to earn money (Now I know). Also showing videos related to the now president of the United States, Barack Obama. Even the improper behavior of a customer at the Drive Thru of McDo just wanting to buy a McNuggets but since McDo has time restrains for orders like that, the customer grew wild. All to the point she smashed the Drive Thru's window. Scary much!

The Mcdo Rampage over the McNuggets. lol

Actually, I did not really get the whole picture of showing those things and relating it to 'branding me'. But much to my thinking and relating, it just shows that those that I said were people/ personalities that marketed themselves, even without the knowledge of doing so, to the people. It may not seem like it but, whatever we do, the personalities we show to other people reflects what we would want to market to others. 

As the speaker Adolfo Aran III has said, "Choose some thing that could define you.", more like saying, be unique and stick to that. He even mentioned the famous blogger, Tricia Gosingtian, whom I adore so much. Kyaaaa~ He said that Tricia's dad and him are like friends. What's weird though, when he asked us, if we know Tricia, I think I was the only one who answered yes to him. Haha! Are all the ones who attended the seminars, non-bloggers? Sucks to be them! Haha!

Look what Violin got me thinking.

Hi earthlings! I realized I have been blogging so much this past few days and it makes me happy because that means I always have something to going on. ;) But this time around, let me tell you that I have no particular event to share to you. I just thought that may be when I face the blogger-new-post-screen I would be able to produce sensible thoughts to write about. So here I go. Hmm.. This morning, I managed to finish the book that took me ages to finish. FINALLY. You'll probably wondering what took me so long and what this book is. So here it is. Violin by Anne Rice, that I managed to borrow from my friend, Patt (Hi Patt, if you're reading this, I'll be able to give this back to you, finally!). I borrowed it from Patt several months ago (I know, that long!) because I got curious. Let's just say, it's also a literature experiment for me. But seeing my progress in reading this book.. I ain't happy with it. Thus made me conclude literary genres li

what's in my bag... for real

what's in my bag (taken with instagram) left to right:  Umbrella (Grosser Schatten)- You could call me umbrella girl scout, because I always have this handy with me; rain or shine, I have this under my skin. Always keep in mind that quality is better than quantity. If I were you, buy the most expensive umbrella (at least 500), for the quality will stick with you until the end. I have this umbrella for 2 years already. Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen)- I remember my enthusiasm once I bought this book because the price of the book was less than 100. Oh the perks of a classic! But the downside to it, was the sardines font and the old English text that made my mind relaps after reading for some quite time. I don't remember the time when I started reading the book, but I had to say that it's taking me a long while because of all the old English texts. Nonetheless, I love reading hard to decipher books rather than teeny weeny easy ones. Alcohol (Hygenix)- You'l

Make-up Stash

I don't know what got me today but I suddenly had an urge to fix my make-up stash (not that it's many). I will surely say that I maintain just the right amount of make-up that I know I could use until the end. I would not definitely buy new ones if I know there's a lot more in my stash, not unless I got it in a cheaper price = SALE or it's already expired. ;) Anyway, since we're at it, I tried coloring my face again with eye shadows that I don't normally use during the day. I usually do this during the times that I'm bored. lol Honestly, I don't even know how to put eye shadow in its right way. I just treat it as an eyeliner, thus the color I placed in my eye, is just near my eye lashes. If only someone could teach me. ;) And of course, with that experimenting or whatever, I would never fail to be vain. Eye bags, please disappear. lalalala ;)
