My Journey to Hand Painting My Shoes :))

I miss being an artist :((

I miss holding my pencil and techpen, sketching my own anime characters and colouring them either traditionally (in coloured pencil / poster paint) or digitally (using Photoshop, of course.) But as for my busy lifestyle today, I hardly find time to do these stuffs again—my first love, my passion, my own self reflection.

One fine day, I was digging over our boxes of old clothes when I found a white sneakers which belonged to my mom. It was still in good condition, slightly used perhaps, with a few little stains and yellowing on some parts, so I definitely asked her if I could just take it. I washed it out but somehow, it didn't remove the stains anymore. Then a bright idea (perhaps colourful idea) came into my mind, "Hey, why don't I paint and customize it? Well, it's been years since I held a brush, so why don't I try it... again?" :))

Brand: United Colors of Benetton

Colour: White (It looks off-white in personal actually)

Condition: Slightly Used

KDrama Review: Rooftop Prince :))

Aigoooooo......! >_<

I really really wanna watch this K-DRAMA soooonnnnn!!! *sob*  *sob*  *sob*

Sadly, I cannot find any good links and sites to download the full episodes of Rooftop Prince — coz I don't wanna watch it online, I wanna have my own personal copy! (or perhaps I'm just a little dumb when searching the net =P), but I will still find a way to be able to watch this awesome K-Drama starring superstar Yoochun!♥ Anyway, I am not a fan of Yoochun, I just happened to meet him at Sungkyunkwan Scandal... (Meet? Haha)

©johanDee/'s Got a New Look! :))

Heyya.

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted a new entry here :))

Doncha worry cuz in the next few weeks, I might come back to blogging again.

For now, my homepage has got it's new look! (It's all I can offer right now. Geez.)

Anyway, I added a section here which is named "Literary", cuz I'm planning to post my senseless poetries and stories here, hmmm, or anything which is included under literary works. Hahaha. As I say, I am a frustrated writer so why don't I give it a try? :P

Alright then, since it's getting late, I think I should jump now into my bed and get some good night rest at least, for tomorrow (or later perhaps), I still have to go to work... >_< I just opted to post an entry here to welcome my blog's new look! Haha. Few more changes coming since I am not that familiar with CSS codes, and I cannot edit them all with just one sitting.

So I'm off to my bedroom now, till my next blogpost! :))

MOMO Breakfast at the Ayala Triangle :))

Welcome to MOMO Cafe!

Breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day. Perhaps, they say that what you have eaten during breakfast defines your outcome for the whole day. However, due to our fast-paced lifestyle, some tend to skip their breakfasts which make their regular vitamins and minerals intake incomplete. Well then, why don't we just take this meal in the middle of the buzzling area of Ayala, where most offices and businesses stand together with the stressful lifestyle of the busy people? Perhaps, there won't be too much excuses to skip our breakfasts anymore, right?

Bath & Body Bliss Lotion: Youthful Glow :))

I was once browsing a Natasha July-August catalog when I noticed this hand and body lotion discounted for almost hafta price! From 90 pesos, it was only 45 pesos for a 100mL tube bottle. So me and my mum decided to order this product right away, and give it a very nice try! Aheee! we love discounts you know ♥

Manga Review: Kagetora :))

Cover Art for Volume 2

Well, this volume of Kagetora was the very first manga that I'd ever touched in my whole entire life. This was the very first manga that I'd ever read, unfolded, thought of, understood, perceived, loved, cherished and certainly, bought. This was the very first manga that introduced me to the world of Japanese comics... and taught me how to read the traditional Japanese way—from left to right, of course. Well, funny but I just thought before—I could find mangas definitely in Japan only... or! ... somehow, they might be distributed in those special Japanese shops here in our country (but what shop? where? and how can I get there?!) Hahaha. Well, way back then, I was very clueless regarding these certain kind of things. But luckily, thanks to National Bookstore, I got the chance of owning my super first ever treasured manga (woot woot!)—Kagetora 2.

Gilligan's: San Miguel by the Bay, SM Mall of Asia :))

One fine evening, me and my friend decided to take a breathe of fresh air, so we went to SM by the Bay at the back of Mall of Asia... (as if Manila Bay is fresh?) Anyway, after a long relaxing chit-chat, we decided to eat and to at least, have a taste of alcohol. Hahaha. (Somehow, this is to chill-out our tired spirits...) It was already late past midnight and Gilligan's was still jam-packed of their regular patrons... Nonetheless, we still opted this bar and resto since it was still spacious inside, mostly people chose to sit outside so that they can listen to the beat of the performing bands, which we actually avoided since we really wanted to have some peace-of-mind during that time.

Anyway, since I was craving for some pulutan that night, we tried ordering their Garlic Mushroom (85pesos). I was also craving for some inihaw and couldn't decide what to choose between Grilled Bangus Belly (155pesos), or Grilled Cream Dory (160pesos), but I still chose the latter, plus plain rice (26pesos). My friend ordered Chessy Cheese Pizza (180pesos), and then our beer (45pesos) which is a actually cheaper than the price of their iced teas and juices.

AVON Naturals: Mandarin and Kiwi Conditioning Hair Yogurt :))

Yesterday, I was sooo bored at home and tried a simple hair remedy from AVON. Actually, my mom is a dealer that's why I was able to try a lot of products from AVON. Anyway, don't expect that they are free because unfortunately, they are not. As what do they always say, "business is business", and it still applies even at home. Hahaha. Anyway, venturing into business is not our topic here, but it's about the AVON Naturals Mandarin and Kiwi Conditioning Hair Yogurt. What's with it? Well let me tell you in a bit. 

Good Times KTV Bar :))

Last Saturday, me and my friends went to Good Times KTV Bar at The Fort Strip in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Well, it was actually from a deal that my friend saw at Ensogo, which was a 3-Hour KTV Room use (for 5 persons) + 2 barchow plates + 1 cocktail pitcher + 5 VIP cards=250 Free KTV Hours; original value was 10,600php, but discounted for almost 86%!!! WOW as in WOW. So we definitely grabbed the opportunity right away, since we were actually looking for some relaxation away from the intoxicating atmosphere of our workplace.

LIP ICE Lip Balm :))

I've been reading a lot of good points about Lip Ice Lip Balms recently on different beauty blog sites locally and abroad, and that was the reason why it made me wanting to try this product as soon as possible. Luckily, you can find this at the nearest beauty shops just around the corner (probably Watsons), in a very reasonable price as well (around 89.00pesos only). So friendly and no hassle at all!

How I Managed My Day... :))

I've been sitting here in front of my computer desk for almost 14 hours already (and counting!), straight and non-stop. I have to accomplish a lot of things today, including my very first entry here in Blogger. I couldn't decide on what topic to write about, so I've just decided to simply tell the world about my intoxicating tasks for the day.

Cleya, the protagonist in the story

Actually, my first entry here should have been about my story entitled "December Dream". Why December Dream? 'Coz I happened to dream about this story one time in December 2007. Hahaha. I'm just gonna tell the details some other time. Anyway, going back to the topic, as what I've said, I have to finish my very first ever entry here... (Hopefully ☺) I also have to update my entries in Hubpages (for my pending post which needs revision, and for the new hubs as well). Speaking of blog sites, I also got to check my Google AdSense application if it was approved or not, AND unfortunately, it wasn't. I guess I have to maintain my blog site first before seeking for the AdSense's approval. *Sob*
