Admittedly, I was clinging on a rope that's about to fall out. My hopes are really high, thinking that everything will be alright. I'm lost!
Before my birthday, I was in a lot of stress, It's been a long time since I felt this feeling and it killed me. It reflected on my face really! ... I was really haggard! I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on things I plan to do and so forth.
My flight to Manila was great, I met 2 of my best friends for life. Ash and Sonya who is celebrating her birthday also. I made a white lie about this flight and I suffered tremendously. Instead of celebrating it with a peace of mind. I was nauseous and in too much pain.
How can you be so insensitive? It's my birthday. It's my dear friend's birthday. Leave me in peace. Ha Ha Ha... That's my feeling the whole time I was in Manila. I arrived 1030 PM, the 23rd of March and I slept 0400AM because of this mess. My credit of 160 Dhs was consumed in a flash. Explaining and swearing I didn't mean anything bad. You really can't win if you are arguing with a closed minded person. I didn't!
I'm glad Sonya and Ash were there. Instead of having a decent dinner outside, Eastwood in particular, I was forced back in to my hotel room. And ordered Jollibee instead. Wow! What a treat! And like I do best, I indulged myself eating Chicken Joy (3 pcs.), Spaghetti, Peach-Mango Pie, Jolly Hotdog and a soda, how's that for a dinner 0330H in the morning like there's no tomorrow.
I tend to hide my feelings...my loneliness...my anger especially to my friends. But this time I can't!
How can you compare my love to my friends and to you?
I am tired.
I was snoring to the highest level, I swear! due to stress.
Is it worth it? Is it worth hanging to the rope I tried to tie strongly? Too much of something is bad I guess...
(Sigh)... (A deep Sigh)
And since I started blogging Miss International 1979, Mimilanie Marquez and 1st Runner-Up Supermodel of the World 1986. These quotes are one of the best which came out of her mouth. Enjoy reading...
The following is a draft list of quotes attributed to Melanie Marquez.
My brother is not a girl; he’s a gentleman.
That’s why I’m a success, it’s because I don’t middle in other people’s lives.
Don’t judge my brother; he’s not a book.
I won’t stoop down to my level.
Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?
‘Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.
Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo...Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.
We are lovers, not fighters.
Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.
I don’t eat meat. I’m not a carnival.
Sumasakit ang migraine ko.
Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!
I keep my crown in the voltage.
Can you repeat that for the second time around once more from the top?
I couldn’t care a damn!
What’s your next class before this?
Hello, my brother Joey is out of town, would you like to wait?
Don’t touch me not!
You! you’re not a boy anymore! You’re a man anymore!
Bakit ang dami mong tanong? You're so questionable.
You can fool me once, you can fool me twice, you can fool me thrice. But you can never fool me FOUR!
Hindi ba kayo naawa sa kapatid ko...sa mga kwento nya? Di ba kayo na-PERSUAVE ng mga kwento niya? Hindi si Joey ang tipong mambubugbog ng babae...talaga lang malapit siya sa mga gulo...PRO-ACCIDENT kasi siya eh.
Boy Abunda: O Melanie, paano na ang showbiz career mo ngayong magmo-Mormon ka na? Melanie: Ah okay lang 'yon Boy, kasi matagal na rin akong SEMI-RETARDED.
They should talk behind the scene...
(answering the phone) Hello. Wait a moment. Please hang yourself.
(before Christmas) Well, I want to spend my holidays with my family most probably out of place.
Why I will give my calling card, I'm not a call girl. (Her reply to a certain Duke when the latter is asking for her calling card.)
Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong taon sa inyong lahat. (During her acceptance speech at a Metro Filmfest awards night where her bioflick, directed by her late father Temyong Marquez, won an award.)
Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point. (When asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right)
And the base of my observation is... (showbiz stripped May 14 GMA Ch. 7)
At a talk show after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked if she had some words for Derek’s mother (whom she partly blamed for the separation). "Oo nga," said Melanie, "pero i-English-in ko para maintindihan niya." She looked into the camera and, with the peremptoriness of royalty, said, "And to you, Mrs. Dee, I have two words for you. Ang labo mo!"
(When asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused by their houseboy) Don't worry little angel, big angel is here.
(On what they should do to the houseboy who molested her daughter) He should be put behind bar.
(While waiting backstage during a noontime show after watching Nikki Valdez do her dance number) Nikki, you're so galing. You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes!
(While she's in Morning Girls With Kris & Korina promoting her movie with Aleck Bovick) Please watch HIRAM starring Aleck Baldwin (referring to Aleck Bovick) and myself. It's DIRECTOR by Romy Suzara.
(After giving birth, and an interview on The Buzz) My answers have been prayered!
(To ex-flame Senator Lito Lapid) Hello...Huwag kang tumahol sa sarili mong bakuran noh! (In response to being misunderstood) You know, huwag kang tumahol like dogs.
Bankable Productions never stop reinventing programs that will entice viewers to see their shows. From the Tyra Banks Show to America's Next Top Model, even the Philippines bought franchise to make a local version of it, we're even on our way to Cycle 2.
And just recently, thousands audition in their Manhattan studio for the next cycle 13th of America's search for next top model. And this time, Tyra gives the opportunity to aspiring models who are 5 feet 7 inches tall and smaller... Is that a good news or what?
And the big reveal came that Tyra plans to launch Africa's Next Top Model, audition will be held where else, but at Sandton Convention Centre on March 28, so all the beautiful ladies of Africa will participate.
Prices? Lots of them... Modelling contract from Tyra's modelling agency, a chance to co-host with her too plus the most exciting one, a 6 month-contract from LOUIS VUITTON which will launch her as the Face of Vuitton for the next season, Fall-Winter 2009-2010.
I can't wait to see the long-legged legs as Memelanie Marquez, Miss International 1979 quoted on her final question and answer, which eventually led her to the crown and made her as one of the most successful Filipina to ever conquer the modelling world in Europe and America in the 80's.
Boyet Fajardo?
Well I don't know him! Maybe if its Joaquin Fajardo, the infamous Pinoy Villain I may remember him but Boyet? Nahhh!
Just to let you know, there are several forwarded hate-mails that circulating our Filipino community and I just read a sample of this apparent fashion-mogul who acted rudely at Duty Free Fiesta in Paranaque Last March 13 which created havoc and insulted staff of the said DFS who were all following standard procedures for credit cards in our dear 3rd world country if the card is left unsigned, it is just obvious that the cashier will ask some identification cards to suffice this right? It's written on all cashier in the Philippines right... Whew... I'm getting carried away by people who are rude and feeling untouchables.
As I was reading chuvaness blog, she already made an effort to know who is Boyet Fajardo... And in her blog it states that :
" On September 1, 1980, Boyet Fajardo opened his first shop on Banaue street in Quezon City as a bid to join the big names in the made-to-order industry at 17 and a college sophomore (at UST, where he was majoring in Fine Arts). Boyet Fajardo believed that he had what it takes to make it in fashion alongside the more established names like Ben Farrales.
Today, Boyet is one of the biggest names in RTW. His Boyet Fajardo line is carried in all Robinsons stores—there are about 20 of them all over Metro Manila and in the provinces—and the Landmark. Since making the big shift from couture clothes to RTW Boyet Fajardo can truly be called a success. He has become both an artistic and financial success. In fact, he recently had his new office-cum-residence located in Valle Verde, officially blessed.
The house, which has a large garden, is dotted with Boyet’s favorite antiques and paintings. He also recently bought a house in nearby Acropolis, which was blessed on Nov. 28, a blessing that was attended by many of Boyet’s longtime clients and friends.
He has truly come a long way….."
Well I get you but for you to curse people and burried them in shame. Go to where the pigs go! (sorry!)
" Last March 13, 2009—or Friday the 13th—we went with our Tatay Rey (who just arrived from Abu Dhabi as OFW a day before) to Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall in Parañaque to shop and point. Or we point and he’ll buy…hehehe:)
While waiting in line at the cashiers to pay our goodies…we saw a customer at the top of his voice berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free... From what my sister told me, it was about a credit card purchase that the cashier was kindly asking for the irate customer's ID to vouch for the legit owner of the credit card which was also “unsigned”—a normal operating procedure to avoid misuse.
He might have thought a celebrated person like he is with all his accolades and fame had gone unrecognized by this cashier person who was doing the job he was trained to do. Tsk tsk tsk…
While Store Managers and officers were sought to appease the matter, explaining to him that it is standard operating procedure in credit card safety, not only for the company but also his own.
Ignoring this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call high positioned people whom he allegedly knew, to make these people realize how important he is.. he went on using words like “LECHE KAYO, DI NYO KO KILALA? AKO SI BOYET FAJARDO! AT ITONG P..I.. NA BABAENG ITO, (pointing to a lady officer) AT ANG BAKLANG ITO (pointing to the cashier) AY WALANG KWENTANG MGA TAO! I WANT THEM FIRED!!!
His yelling and berating went on and on, he could not calm down and went on to say, that only if the cashier would kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely slap the persons face, would he get satisfied.
AND, you know what happened next...the poor cashier simply gave in, crying in shame. He knelt down and apologized before this self proclaimed GOD…. "

And now, there are petition to boycott his label house as well as his products.
Shame on you Girl!
My birthday gift for myself came in early, I was kinda low so I pushed myself again to bed after sleeping for almost 12 hours after my New York flight to Marina mall to put some smile into my face, a very expensive smile that is.
I really hate it if feel low or bad, my depression to this so called life is eating me, especially my natal day is coming, adding to my anxiety is that today is Friday the 13th, my lucky day he he he! I was hired in EY, Friday the 13th! 
Oh, I think I need a dose of alcohol in my system now, all my closest friends are either in-flight, or in the gym, sleeping or doing other errands. So here I am, eating alone, mall-walking alone, day dreaming alone. (SIGH!) A big one!
Well, as usual, I did some rounds to ZARA and found some interesting Casual to Formal Jackets, my Favorite and it's again, Grey! Summer is just around the corner so most of the collections are linens or cottons. There are no new loafers to feast so I bid goodbye to most of my SA friends...
I reached LV around 1610H, usually they are open 1600H till 2200H on Fridays, I met "Ate Laila" and Ahlan, about to pick up either my Damier Geant COUGUAR or Damier Graphite Tadao. Unfortunately, the 2 Couguar stocks stayed in the store for quite sometime so Ate Laila encouraged me not to buy them so, since Tadao also is out of stock, I diverted my attention to my 3rd pick, the Damier Ebene Naviglo or Damier Azure. Well, I was looking for a Manbag that suit my personality, not too big or not too small. And I think, well I thought that, aside from my other two favorites, the Naviglio is okay, though it looks like a lunch box or a camera bag, well...I ended up bringing the big brown bag...
Guess what I brought with me...
SIGH!
Ciao Ciao De Carabao...
