Here are some of the photos I took when I went to Guangzhou, Guangdong China to visit family a few months back. We didn't get to do a lot of sight-seeing since it was raining cats and dogs most of the time but hey! At least I got to go around and take pictures.
Just wanted to share with you guys.
African Weapons, Shields and other artifacts can be found in this museum. Now I have no idea why this is in China, I'm guessing they crossed paths at one point along the border of Africa and RPC.
They had monitors playing commercials and other interactive advertisements.
Note : Bitter Ocampo meaning "Bitter/Sour" is derived from Deither Ocampo a local TV Personality/Actor here in the Philippines. Maybe it's just me, but I've always been fascinated by secrets and codes. My first foray into the exclusivity of knowledge was with Morse Codes and Braille. Now I've never learned, or even attempted to learn because it's more complicated than it looks. (Note to self : Movies = Lies ) Or it may be because I'm physically callous and deaf. (Let the training commence...to the bat cave!)
Apart from my still ongoing fascination with codes namely the two aforementioned things, I have this weird fixation with people using gay lingo. Or more specifically Filipino Gay lingo. Which is so hard to understand if you don't have an inkling about local culture, celebrities/personalities in the Philippines (sometimes foreign celebrities are used) and have the basic syllable replacements down pat. Here's a sample.
Givenchy/Janno Gibbs = `Bigay, to give' (Janno Gibbs is a singer/local tv personality)
Gelli de Belen =`Selos' / To be Jealous (Gelli de Belen is a local tv personality)
Baliwag =`Baliw' / Crazy (Baliwag is a brand of Lechon / Roast Pork)
So being the avid "Googler" that I am. I looked up how to decipher this linguistic exclusivity that has garnered my quirky interest.
And lo and behold, there's a blogpost and even a Wikipedia page dedicated to it. Don't you just love technology?
I know fact that some of these aren't even being used anymore and newer terms are being added to the roster and I don't think I can keep up unless I surround myself with people who talk like this. I should just stick to knowing the basics and common terms to save face because I know for sure I will butcher the words, misuse them and quite possibly embarrass myself.
OrForever21 GCs or aniPAD mini. I mean seriously, everywhere I look it's still a win-win situation, it really is worth a try right? Read the poster mechanics to join, it's SUPER easy. Or click through to go to the Vaseline PH facebook page.
These are just one of the times I'm thankful I have a sister close to my age instead of a brother or my ever coveted fantasy of a "cool older brother who could beat up bullies or exes in a jiffy". We understand each other and by that sense I mean skin care and make-up kind of understanding.
I didn't buy SQUAT in this latest haul of mine and I'm so giddy and super excited because I really love all of "my" purchases.
More after the jump! {Picture heavy post...and word heavy. This is gonna be long, I'm just sayin'}
Why hello there, I didn’t know goddesses like you could exist in real life *wink* *wink* *licks lips* …ew.
It's an hour and a half past witching hour as I'm writing this down, so quite naturally, I deduced it's time for another blog update! Which explains why I just wrote that disgusting pick-up line. I don’t even know what it means. Is it really even a pick-up line?
Lil Latina Fashionista nominated me ages {1 year or so} ago for this blog award, and I'd just like to thank her :) Thanks girl! The original badge for this award was actually different; I didn't like it so I made a new one.
And now for the rules...
Nomination Rules:
1.Post the award image to your blog
2. Link the person who awarded you
3. Post 7 random things about you
4. Nominate other 8 relatively new blogs
Now that we got that out of the way, here are some random tidbits.
1. If I'm comfortable in a place where I need to sleep, I will invariably strangle, wrestle and make my presence known to whoever's sleeping beside me. My siblings don't like sleeping with me because "they" said I slam/place my legs/arms on them, sort of like what I do to pillows. Rubbish until proven otherwise.
2. I collect notebooks. I have this certain quirk wherein I buy notebooks that I "need" and then end up not using them because I don't want to ruin the pages. And if I do end up forcing myself to use one, I rip the page that I use because I've deemed that my handwriting isn't pretty enough for said notebook after which I lament on the fact that said notebook isn't perfect anymore because I ripped a page out. I have issues.
3. We have cats. We always have cats. I never asked for one. I could do without it, but they're just,there. Existing.With me. I think I'm more of a pet-rock kind of person.
4. I listen to Korean songs. Not just Kpop. If you want to listen to other genres other than kpop, go to eatmykimchi.com or watch their youtube channel.
5. I have this unhealthy obsession with accents. More specifically, guys with accents. Now I don't wanna be "that" girl, but I've accepted the fact that I AM THAT GIRL who's smitten by guys with accents.
You're welcome. 6. One thing about my personality is that, my good opinion once lost, is lost forever. If a friend or even an acquaintance has done me wrong in any way, my friendship with them or my opinion of them is lowered and I find that once that's done, I can't seem to get it to the way it was before and my thought of them about that stays. I will still be friends with them, but a certain closeness is lost and a restriction and certain awkwardness is put up whenever that happens.
7. Lastly, I've been obsessed with this show on YouTube lately called, The Most Popular Girls in School. HI-LA-RI-OUS, if you don't mind sex jokes and you like laughing at high school cliche then you should check this out.
Now that you've delved into the essence that is my twisted soul, here are the blogs that I nominate!
PS. I actually like cats. But our cats are very, how do you say this nicely, spoiled arrogant little queens. Yes, they're all females. They only come near when they're hungry or if they've deemed us worthy of a little attention. But I guess all cats are like that.
PPS. Just get the image code in the text box below the image and place it anywhere on your blog or link it in your blogpost. Or just right-click and save image as. :)
Somebody stop me from making a jingle about this scrumptiously-delicious-crunchy-sweet-chewy-salty-smoky-mouthwatering-heart-stopping-pain-inflicting rice bowl.
