been m.i.a. lately since i have been having alot of amigos coming by cebu from all parts of the world  to hang with the one and only. yes yes, you can say 'im somewhat.... popular....I kid. 'twas definitely a colorful and fun-filled january. this asian feels so blessed and lucky to have such effen awesome friends. you guys freakin' rocks!!!

on another note, i was mugged last night walking down a dodgy street and ended up with a fucking shiner and bruises. just thanking the stars, jesus, allah and everything else that nothing worse happened. very grateful indeed. damn, i feel like philippines is prepping me for war or something cuz i'm slowly becoming a tough cookie being here. this philippine trip is definitely and undeniably eventful from getting stuck in an island, police station to getting mugged. anyways, since i tend to blabber on and on, i am also grateful for my guy friends here that's  ready to cut some balls (literally...i kid u not! they are not the type u mess around with) to whoever put a shiner on this face cuz they are protective of me which i find it very hot and sexy. oh, that's 'nother blog post.

so peace, keep it real and asian out! 

PS: hope u can't see the shiner. not very good at putting make-up and photoshop ain't my thing.

Goodbye 2011. i find it very cheesy reminiscing about the past but i can't help myself every time the year turns. So i did just that. 2011 was a crazy year. Girlfriend here...quit her job, got engaged, moved to bali (for love...crazy right? but that's just me.), engagement off, nomad status. It was hell of a crazy year......Phewww! i'm runnning out of breath just thinking about it. i loved every single moment of it(i could have done without the heartache but that was i guess it was necessary) cz i learned alot about LIFE; how amazing and precious it is. i learned that i can love selflessly to that extent and it is pretty fucking amazing. i suggest you try it....it better than sex or cocaine. 

Having a new year's resolution ain't really my thing but this year i have one. It is to strive every single day to be a better version of myself and to, most imprtantly, LOVE more and give more. 

so, hello 2012. the adventures continues and still slowly checking things off my bucket list. im not ready to go home yet so a pit stop to a place that holds a special place in my heart then australia before heading home. Wish me luck bitches! 

peaceeeeeeeee mofos! asian out!

Ho Ho Ho

i might as well have worn the scarlet letter on my chest with this outfit cuz this city, cebu,  is still so conservative. grammas' dagger stare, grandpas' nasty i'm-undressing-you-with-my-eyes stare and everyone else staring at me like i was a caged animal that got out and went wild just because i'm wearing belly baring top and short shorts. RAWWRRRR! im sure they wanna strew holy water my way. poor parents, i'm sure they blame my mom and dad for poor parenting. they need to get the fuck over themselves because after all aren't  we in the 21st century where one-night stands are the norm? i am actually baffled why people are not prancing around naked....(but then again, i don't think i wanna see everyone naked...eeek) since it's like hell on earth in this place. It is so hot that the sweaty-hope-i dont-stink look  is what people are rockin'. 

buahahaha.....i actually find all this entertaining. maybe boredom brought out the best in me and stirring up a little drama is the highlight of my day. 

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope ur holiday was as fun and as drunk as u have planned it to be. As for mine, i could not have asked for a better christmas. Spent it with my crazy sibs and ate my whole body weight in one sitting (oink oink status but worth all the love handles to come) and crazy fireworks in every household (the whole town sounded like WWIII). And as for the presents, i got the best gift a bitch can ask....LOVE. My friends: steph, filly, joe, nino, jack and charles are going flip side to hang with me. Do i feel special u ask? HELL MAAFUCKIN' YA!

so peace out bitches and let's remember,cuz we tend forget during the holiday season, that being materialistic is not what it's all about. There is nothing better than friends, family and above all....LOVE. 

love y'all and asian...out!

i have been inspired you guys. hence, the consistent and constant blogging. i don't wanna sound like a freakin' weirdo but i feel like a phoenix....ok, go ahead laugh! HA-HA-HA. what i am trying to say is that i have this new surge of inspiration and just drive to create. i guess there is no where to go from depression but up...way effen up. Hold that phone before you call me all worried and concerned, depression was just a temporary state (a 2 week thing) is long gone and so was the xanax phase...(kidding, i did not hit that low. can i bump one? hahahaha). it’s strange how my endless mental chaos that was so strange just about three months ago all seems normal to me now or i have just gotten fucking strong.hope the new nspired me will stick around for quite sometime cuz i am pretty awesome when i'm "inspired-high".

"what does not kill me, makes me stronger" ......BOOM!

peace and asian ...effen...out!

PS: that's a new lucky hat. Obsessed.

oh my gee....this asian just turned 27 a few days ago. i really have come a realization that birthdays are so fucking overrated and i am  a year closer to hot flashes and ultimately adult diapers. i cannot seem to understand why we celebrate getting old and pruney. oh shit, am i looking wrinkly and pruney? dammit! i hope not cuz shelling out for botox is not priority on my list right now. i'm crossing my fingers that my asian genes will buy me a few years. phewww! well, i guess birthdays are not so bad. i can't lie to save myself if i said i don't love the presents. materialistic you say? give me a fucking a break...i just turned 27 and i feel fucking old!! i definitely do feel wiser....HA!

on another note, im obsessing over these new pair of earring courtesy of my dear brother for my bday. love!

PS: thanks to all my friends/family and badass sibs for one crazy ass you're-not-old-you're-just-pathetic celebration.

asian out!

i guess, you can say, i got the sunday blues. main reason might be that my allergy is flipping a bitch. can't you tell from the lovely photos? runny nose, itchy face and a headache the size of Krakatoa ain't really a fun thing on a beautiful day. just really hoping that it doesn't explode. catching a cold in the tropics is so much worse for some reason. the humidity is just wearing me out...FML! on the flip side, got my hands on some Benadryl and it has been a dear friend to me. it came to my rescue just in time before i killed somebody. i seem to love the groggy and drowsy state it puts this little body in. i love it so much that i'm actually going run to the pharmacy (like a crack addict desperately stalking a dealer) for more of these pills. Ohhhh medication...how i love thee.

too drowsy to write. asian out!

 I have currently adapted a nomad lifestyle and loving it to the fullest. i am homeless, jobless and just all over the effen place. One thing remains...i'm still bad-maafuckin-ass! I have been traveling for 4 months now and i have been having the greatest f'n time...too much, if you ask me. A hospital trip will attest to that and save your lecture about how i need to take care of myself....yada yada. I get it you care about me.....I care about you guys too. Good news is that I totally learned my lesson. this temporary nomadic existence has showed me that traveling might be my true calling. Forget stripping or armpit sniffing, this asian is bound to see the world out there. 

Asian here needs to bounce and get something to eat. Peace out and see ya on the flip side bitches.
