There's always one question that pops out in a casual conversation. Most of the time, men are the ones asking me this. What's the question? "Ano bang gusto mo sa isang lalaki?" ("What kind of men do you like?")
Of course, my usual answer is: "Mabait siyempre" ("Someone kind of course") and "mabango" ("Someone who smells good"). Yet I am allergic to perfume. But actually none of these fits what I really want. Yes, I know a man must be good, but that shouldn't be mentioned anymore since it's a universal fact that men should always be good. What do I want then?
When I see couples walking around me, which happens most of the time, I kind of wonder how the guy she's holding hands with have proven his love to her? Has he given her gifts? Has he taken her to Prague? Has he introduced her to his family? And sometimes, I thought, I wanna go to Praguetoo. I want to receive gifts. I know I'm not into flowers but yes, I want to at least experience how it feels like. Then maybe I'll get to like it. I want to be introduced and know that This Guy is not ashamed to be with me. He is not ashamed to tell His parents that "Yes, mom I have a girlfriend and she's awesome".
I probably want someone who will make me feel secured. Someone I know who'll be there whenever a storm comes. Someone who'll come to me, dripping wet just to even ask me if I'm okay or bring me take-out from Mcdonald's. Then maybe I'll just hug him and kiss him.
When you come to think of it, it doesn't really matter is he's handsome or not. I mean seriously, what am I gonna do with all that beauty in his face? And thinking about having a super hot/handsome boyfriend is already driving me insane. With all the girls looking at him while we eat, walk and talk. Come on, it's causing me a headache already. Just imagine when we're at the beach.
Long story short, I just want a normal guy, with no extraordinary powers but to make me feel special. I'm sure that's what every girl wants right?

Fashion Purchase 001
Starting today, I am gonna post as much as I can. For my first fashion post, I am going to share what I bought during the sale.
If you are close to me, you'll know that I am very thrifty. I don't really buy what's not necessary. And if I do, it's probably on SALE. I don't really care about the brand as long as it's comfy. Same goes for bags and shoes.
So here's what I bought:
Animal Printed Top at H&M for: 70HKD ~ 377.2510 PHP
which I wore to the epic party last June 30, 2012.
Open Toe Flats at H&M for: 50HKD ~ 269.4650 PHP
These are really comfy! I always go for flats. Always.
Simple Black Top at H&M for: 50HKD ~ 269.4650 PHP
Very simple and plain. I'm not a fan of printed shirts. I always buy the basic stuff.

Gun shooting 101 @ Stronghand Shooting Range
I was visiting dealgrocer and stumbled upon a coupon for gun shooting. So sabe ko "Why not try it?" The coupon costs 1250 Php with basic lesson and 20 bullets.
When: July 3, 2012
Where: Stronghand Shooting Range @ E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave QC
What: Gun shooting
Who: My instructor was Sir Peachy Llige
The place has a great ambiance. It doesn't feel like you're in a shooting range talaga since may cafe sa loob. The restrooms are super clean and the people at the desk are nice.
The coffee shop.
Shooting Range
The classroom.
Step 1: Basic Gun Shooting Lesson
According to Sir Peachy, there are 4 important points when it comes to gun handling
- Careful where you point your gun
- Check if gun is loaded at least thrice
- Know what's behind your target too
- Keep your finger off the trigger!
I was able to learn 3 guns, a single action revolver, an automatic caliber 45 and the last one, I forgot. I wasn't able to take pictures of the guns because I was too focused on the lesson.
Step 2: Actual Shooting
So after the class, they handed me a toolbox with my chosen gun, a caliber 45, with 20 bullets, ear muffs and glasses. The instructor even asked me "Babae ka ba talaga? Kasi bihira ang babaeng caliber 45 agad." which I usually take as a compliment because I don't like being a girly girl.
I really wish I had everything on tape! Anyway, I'm planning to sign up for their membership naman so I'll be seeing and trying more guns!
The whole experience was awesome. 101% awesome. It made me feel na I can do anything. At first, it was scary but in the end, I Kind Of (Not 100%) felt more comfortable. Sa uulitin!
Bucket List : Mt. Pinatubo's Crater
[ x ] Walk to the crater of a volcano - Done!
Since I will be in the Phils. for 5 days, I bought a coupon from Ensogo for Mt. Pinatubo along with 4 of my friends. The coupon costs 998 Php for the tour.
Other fees:
Bus from Cubao to Capas, Tarlac: 172 Pesos (One way) x 2
Transfer from Capas to Mt. Pinatubo base: 300 Pesos
Government fee for Mt. Pinatubo: 300 Pesos
Lunch: Bring your own
Total: 1942 Pesos
If you are commuting to Capas, take Dagupan Bus in Cubao kasi they have trips every hour after 12AM to Capas. When you reach Capas, a 4x4 jeep will take you to the base of Pinatubo. And from here, you would need to hike.
What I wore: White shirt, shorts and rubber shoes.
Hindi advisable ang rubber shoes kasi may daraanan kayong limpak limpak na tubig at bato. It is better to wear something Crocs-like so you can remove the small stones easily. To give you a better picture of what to expect:
At the crater, the view is breathtaking. Lahat ng pagod namin paakyat, nawala.
The path to the top is usually wet, so I suggest wear sandals para hindi mabasa yung shoes niyo. I wore a pair of rubber shoes kasi that's what I brought back to Ph.
Our group photo before leaving the crater.
Hindi lang siya matubig kundi mabato din.
Goodbye pinatubo crater! See you again soon!
Did you know?
According to kuya tour guide ng PDC, 42KMS deep ang water sa crater.

8 Signs a "Friend" is a Social Climber accd to psychologytoday.com
According to psychologytoday.com there are 8 ways to see if you have a social climber friend.
1) She's Status Driven - The individual makes friends based on whom another person knows or what another person has.
"Wow, may porsche tong si girlaloo. I-friend ko nga ito para kapag makikiride ako Porsche."
2) She's a Name Dropper - They can't resist telling you about the important people they know, or the important person someone they know knows. They're eager to find out the names of people you know who fits that profile, too.
"Hey you, yes you! Alam mo bang friends kami ni Ano. Oh anong say mo don?"
3) She's Overly Concerned with Appearances - These individuals go to great lengths to look like "they belong" and make sure that you and other people they hang out with do, too. They flaunt designer labels and attention-drawing accessories proudly.
"Hey you, anong fake ka jan? Kapal ng fez mo. This is a Chanel bag. Poorlita ka, Lacoste ka lang."
4) She's a Selective Friend Poacher - If you introduce them to someone in your social circle, they may hijack the friendship to get closer to a more important or accomplished person than you.
"Wow naman, girl. Alam mo ba si Ano di masyadong type yang japorms mo. Baduyish daw. Buti pa ako, i love your designer clothes. Sisterettes forever!"
5) She's a User - They try to use your accomplishments and/or connections for their own benefit. The intensity and persistence of their approach goes well beyond what might be called appropriate "social networking."
"Hey girl, friend ko itong is blank. We both like cruising along the Carribean. Maybe we should go together samtayms."
6) She Lacks Empathy - They accumulate "friends" in large numbers who they really don't know well or don't connect with on an intimate level. In general, they tend to be narcissistic and self-centered.
"I hab so many fwends out there. Hmmm, sino ba pede ayain dito sa mga poorlitang to magmall there in the Greenbelt."
7) She's Unreliable - They wait until the last minute to confirm or cancel a social invitation in case they receive a better offer.
"Hay nako, girl di ako sure. Baka kasi I have a dinner party with the you know who. Talo ka dun, girl. Mas mayaman yun so k thanks bye."
8) She's a Queen Bee - They try to control social circles and have no qualms about dumping, substituting and excluding a "friend" from the group. They may resort to belittling and gossiping to get the job done.
"Hoy ikaw, paki kamot my super flawless back na pinakinish ko pa with Belo powers. Ayaw mo? Fayn. Get out there. "
