PF

It was pretty funny how our office janitor shyly handed me this month's PF magazine yesterday, and I had to stop and wonder why he was doing that.. Then it occurred to me! He's handing it to me to show me.... because it's the issue that included my feature....!!! Nye!!

That was my first reaction. Nye!! Then I thanked him and flipped the magazine over to my section. My second reaction was.... Hahahahahahahaha! I found it so strange to see my image stare back at me, then another image, and another image! Hahahaha! True, I did the photo shoot and interview, and all, but those things never felt real..... but here is the evidence staring at my face! Hahahahahaha!

Showed it to some friends at the office and finally took the copy home to show my family last night. My cutey father said he'll go out today and buy copies for everyone he knows. True enough, he bought himself 10 copies today. Shocker for me on the part where he plans to show it to everybody in his contact list, but a really good, appreciative feeling for his being proud of my little shot at fame. Hahaha! I still can't believe it.. Even Dennis is looking all smitten and proud.. :p

Oh well... in fairness, the feature is actually not bad... The writing was pretty decent, although I think I looked really pale in my photos :p Hehehehe...

new book!

Got this book today, with Darling Hub in tow because he wanted to buy comic books... Told him I didn't really get the allure of comic books, to which he replied, well, I don't quite see the point of that book either... Hehehe... sa bagay....

Presenting--



Based on real accounts, this book chronicles the adventure of one fashionista in the constant pursuit of the famous yet unattainable Hermes Birkin :p Should be a fun fun read :) Hopefully I get to start reading it tomorrow, after I finish grading the marketing papers I assigned to my class... :)

immune shots...

Finally, I completed the 3-installment anti-cervical cancer vaccine shots... Hurts like hell, but at least it's finished :-)

medical exam....

Had my annual physical exam the other day. I'm feeling a little nervous about the breast exams, as the doctor not only reacted with mild concern over my ultrasound results, she also requested that I take a digital mammo and an actual mammogram. I'm scared. I've never even considered the possibility of having something wrong in that area... at this age. I mean, I'm barely 26. It just can't be.

Darling Beau is also in denial, insisting I'm perfectly healthy and it's impossible that they'll find anything. Hay..

I'm tempted to research online about this, but I'm scared of scaring myself to death. So I've decided to just wait for the results to come out and worry about things when they're actually written down on paper for me.

Please pray nothing is wrong.

8/8/08!!!

I came home early tonight to catch the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing, China. At 8:08pm, I sat down with my family to watch....

And it was nothing short of amazing!!! I'm so proud, at this very moment, to be Chinese. Many have considered this to be China's coming-out party, and it definitely didn't disappoint. After so many years of seclusion and isolation, China finally came out, and came out with a bang, it did!!! I love it! We even sang the national anthem along with the people watching live... :)

Happy 8/8/08!!!! :)
