Indeed,this year has been a blast and it's one of the BEST!I may be busy all throughout,but the year has brought me in to a lot of surprises and to "things I never thought would possibly happen". :')
10. CROSSFIRE. Last year, Christian Grey was the ultimate peg;Now,this new book series nailed it! The Dark&Dangerous Gideon Cross stole my heart this year.❤️ Just like Mr.Grey,this man has his own 'problems' too (and so as the heroine character in the story,Eva Tramell). But their love affair is sweeter than Steele-Grey :"> The series is already on its 3rd book and it has more mature content. So if you're legal(18+) and curious on a different kind of romance,try reading this :)

and btw,the story's not ending on the third book yet! ;D

9.Camo luvin'.Meet the newest addition to my favorites!Tho purple is still my most fave.I somehow don't know why I got hooked on camouflage when it's just all of a sudden that i started collecting stuff in that print(and it drives me crazy!hahaha!).No wonder,it does look unique.But you know,I don't like military nor soldiers---except for a #soldieroflove perhaps.oops!HAHAHA ;))

8. Christmas with my Japanese cousins. Shopping + roadtrippin' + drinking sessions with them was great!! :D Mind you,it's been more than 10 years since they've last spent the holidays here since they usually go around July.Thus,touring them around town has always been fun.Check out my facebook for our pictures :)

7. Concerts!concerts! I'm pleased to attend 2 concerts this year; from Demi Lovato's to Carly Rae Jepsen's :D Like what I've reviewed last year, Carly Rae became one of my favorite popstars 'cause of her upbeat songs.While for Demi,I really am a fan of hers since she starred on Camp Rock.She'd be my idol if I were a highschool teen now 'cause I find her similar to Kelly Clarkson :) Anyway,I was supposed to watch Ke$ha's also but unfortunately,school screwed it up for me (hashtag duty problems T__T).However,i look forward to watch more concerts next year! :)


6. Dance with the GFORCE. After 987654321000 years,my plan of enrolling myself to a dance workshop once again has finally come true!lol.And it's not just any dance workshop..I can't even believe at first that I'm on a dance class from a group that's performing on ASAP!Hence,it was really great.i despise rehearsals but i do miss them especially the moments when we're practicing the choreography already :) I'm glad to be part of Jazz funk batch 1 by Teacher Sherwin Casepe! This whole workshop just built more about my stage presence dancing skills.Hopefully next year,i'd be able to join again.Watch & Read the show here!

5. Epic CREW-ventures. We may be tangled by our hectic scheds in school,but we still found opportunities to unwind and HAVE FUN! Call it dramatic but I do feel disconnected to the world if all I do is to go to school then go home in a day.Sometimes,you need to take a break from it--like going to new places and trying new things which my barkada usually do. :)

how to spell FUN and CRAZY with these people. :))

4. My crazyyy 20th birthday.

Simply, a beautiful mess.yet unforgettable.It's the most memorable moment that i'll have for the 2nd decade of my life.I do have very surprising guests and gifts,but the fact that I passed out was just....ugh,eff THAT.lol.Wanna recap it?.

3. Grease Manila(111013).like I said, I'll never forget this play ever!Some people even discouraged me from watching it as I was deciding before if I'm really going to watch.But since I've been hooked to this eversince I was watching the rehearsals on the net and my favorite will be there,I suddenly thought that I can't miss this show.and so,things happened--I watched the show and it was amazing plus surprisingly,I get to meet the cast at the end. ;D I'll never forget that moment when Carla D. hugged me that time!♥ tell me more,tell me more! ;p

2. #helloSINGAPORE!This made my summer vacay this year superb ♥ Our whole trip there was absolutely amazing from endless shoppings,diversing with mixed races and our whole day at Universal Studios.Indeed,i'd loved to go back there again(and I AM coming back!!) soon ;) Reminisce with me here: part 1 l part 2 .

1. Friends with the DJ's.---well not just DJ's but also theater stars!And I'm so pleased and thankful to meet them.I didn't expect such things to happen!Especially meeting my 2 favorites, Carla Dunareanu and Sam YG for several times! :"""> Yeah,i got to admit that i usually have those 'embarrassing moments' to meet them;but having the guts to do it surely turns out to something!Haha.Though when it comes to my favorite days with them,the most would probably be with Sam.♥ oh lord,thank you for making this possible!! 0:")

(from L-R)with Andi Manzano,Slick Rick,Ramon Bautista,Sara Meier,Carla Dunareanu,Sam YG,Jojo the "love survivor",Boom Gonzales,Jennifer Blair-Bianco, James Stacey,Rafa Siguion-Reyna,James Laurel

Now that's a wrap!And I'm sure the funnerness won't stop here--there IS MORE TO COME. :) So why not we gallop for more new memories next year?Haha! 'til then!I would like to thank everyone who reads my entries here.thank you,thank you,THANK YOU!!!

(111013)The Grease Experience

wella-wella-wella-huh tell me more,tell me more…❤️ I watched Grease with my grandma at the RCBC Plaza,Makati.Good thing I was able to watch it on the second day as the tickets were really selling fast! I was supposed to watch it again with my cousins last Dec.1 but the show on that date was almost sold out.So yes,too bad -__- but at least I get to watch it earlier and it was definitely worth it! :)

Yayy for an orchestra front seat! :D Not to mention,we were seated in front of the speakers.Hahaha.

Here I was on the Grease seat outside the theatre! :)

Then this was the cake everyone's been talking about during the first day of the show.Tho just like them,I hope this one's real and edible!haha. :)) The cake was courtesy of Kink Cakes

These are the two refreshments that I tasted during the intermission of the play.Indeed,this is my first time to watch a play with free drinks!They're not just two drinks actually; They're four of them but I wasn't able to try the other 2.The ones above are Pink Ladies Cocktail and Chocolate Mudshake. The other that I didn't try were T-Bird's Blue Lemonade and Rainbow Shot(which contains vodka and it really looks cute!I wanted to try it before but eventually,it ran out of stock that time.). So the whole play was AMAZING! I wasn't really familiar with all of the cast but I did find them awesome as well. Sandy was played by Francheska Farr while Danny Zuko was played by Gian Magdangal.One of my favorite scenes there was when they all sang "Grease is The Word";their dance moves is making me feel stoked!There was a scene on the play wherein there's an audience participation in it as the cast taught them to dance "We Go Together". I wanted to join and dance with Carla D. but unfortunately,she was on the other side…so wag nalang. LOL! Well anyway,I was very very happy to meet her again after the play!!(PS: she gave me a hug omgggg!!) ❤️ Although she was in a rush that time because she was on her way for the videoshoot of Spongecola's video,"Kailangan Kita". :)
I also get to meet the other cast as well!! Like Rafa Siguion-Reyna,Jennifer Blair Bianco, and James Laurel (who was that night's Teen Angel). I even get to meet Tirso Cruz III since my grandma have worked with him on showbiz before. However,our picture wasn't exactly taken just like what happened before to me and Sam YG.hmmppph! -__- At least I had a picture again with my favorite Carla D.haha ;D Check out my facebook for my other pictures.
Annddd that's a wrap!I look forward to watch another musical play soon.Yet,this one's definitely unforgettable ;) ❤️
'til then!

CREW-ventures at Kapitolyo!

2 weeks ago,we had our training at Healthcare Advantage Institute(HCAI) located at Kapitolyo,Pasig. We took up Basic Life Support, ICU Nursing and lectures on physical assessment. The lectures were all good but I still don't like having return demonstrations after discussion!Haha,the agony of memorizing and understanding a checklist is ughhhh… -__-

Anyway,me and my crew friends had a happy lunchtime during our stay there as we explore the nearby restaurants around the town. :) Indeed, Kapitolyo seems to be the place for all foodies.The area is filled with fine-dining restos and shops; And so,here are some that we tried:

DAY 1: HARU SUSHI BAR & RESTO.If you're a fan of authentic Japanese cuisine,then this is the place to be!It's all Japanese from the interior,which is more exaggerating from other known Japanese restos in town. Although the food is quite pricey especially the sushis,it tasted good. I ordered Katsu Curry Rice which comes with Miso Soup.



DAY 2: SOHO.This fancy resto was just beside HCAI and they serve various Filipino cuisines at a very affordable price.The food tasted great as well, their menu changes often just like in a carinderia :) Not only that, the place also sells handcrafted designs.




DAY 3: RAMEN COOL .So we ate at another Japanese resto and this time, it's obviously more of a Ramen house but they have it…cold.joke! I actually searched this on the internet before we tried it and there I even found a clipart of it which is a ramen mixed with ice!So I was like,"seriously?!?!this I have to see!HAHA!!" :)) Well of course,the ramen was certainly hot…and it's the best I've ever tasted. This Neppanyaki ramen is a must-try!




DAY 4: CAB CAFE.We went Italian for the last day!Although there's a kebab in the menu…haha! :)) Yet, the highlight of our order is this pizza:

10 slices for P300!!

And here's the kebab that I was talking about.Mind you,it did tasted authentic with the strong smell of the mixed spices!



I loved to go back and try the other restaurants there soon!! ;)
'til then!

i will love you..UNCONDITIONALLY.❤️

Check out this new single from Katy Perry! :)

I like this video more than "Roar" tho and I like the video more than the song,itself :) I remember one time when I was listening a morning radio show,a DJ made a review about it saying that Katy Perry had a different way of syllabicating the word,"Unconditionally". Like, she pronounced it as "UNCON-DITION-ALLY" instead of "UN-CON-DI-TIONALLY".Either way,it's still a good meaningful song.You guys should buy her new album,Prism. :)

Sembreak blurbs

"New Girl" icons courtesy of Me. :) credits to NewGirlOnline for the pics.

Such a short,short sembreak it is!But at some points,I'm quite pleased for getting well-rested over the past few days.I definitely get to do what I want then---read novels,stroll at the mall and watch catch-up series of my favorite shows!Like I said before,I've been watching the 2nd season of "New Girl" on the net and i looove the story so much!❤ Zooey Deschanel and the gang never fails to make me laugh out of their wittiness on each episode.Haha.;D
So second sem aka the very last semester of my academic year starts tomorrow and I'm having psychosomatic feelings lately.I've been getting the nerves of our practicum's deadly 12-hr shift sched as to what they described..-__- Hence, I still try to look at the brighter side of it.As in,this ain't gonna be that tough,right?.Sigh~ I just have to face the perks of always going to school in a bun,with a black bag and no jewelries from now.Ohh student nurse life...Well anyway. ;)
Expect the unexpected!
'til then!

Ze birthmonth adventure.:)

I was supposed to post this last week but suddenly,shit happened in school. It almost came to a point that I won't be able to take my subjects for next sem which was horrible. So all throughout the week, I was so depressed that I even felt like I'm about to have a heart attack then as I thought of the possible remediation.But as we had another chance of re-taking our finals,I fortunately made it. :') Words can't explain but during that time,I really wanted to cry after all those tensions and sleepless nights!!Yet at the end of that day,I gave my full gratitude to my parents who has supported me all along.And most of all,to the Lord. 0:') So that ends 1st sem!Time to relax and rejuvenate in this very short sembreak aka time to YOLO! I've been actually catching up with my favorite tv series at home lately---Suits and New Girl.❤️ Plus,i'm back to reading "Entwined With You"(yes,it's been a while from my Crossfire feels.Haha).Everything seems doing pretty well.

Here goes some blog-worthy narratives.Anyway,this month is actually my birthmonth! :D All throughout has been very busy and surprising,I should say.The surprises started to flow during the last week of September(specifically,09/27) where me and my family went to Eastwood for the Beer Festival.Happily, I met Sam YG there once again since he's hosting the event! :"> But unfortunately, I had no pic with him 'cause my brother wasn't able to take it on the camera.hmppph.Either way,it was nice talking to him then ;D
The week after that,my parents finally gave me a Samsung S4 as a birthday gift! :') Then came Saturday(1005) which was my birthday and I celebrated it at URBN. I was with my #crew friends plus Jojo the love survivor of 'Boys Night Out',Dj Tonytoni,and Anjie&Vikas Gogna(Sam YG's siblings).


My crazy crew gave me a 'Fifty Shades'/radio-inspired cake and a birthday plaque.omggg yes,they're definitely the best.❤️
However,it was a bad thing that I got drunk early that night so i sadly wasn't able to talk with the other guests..i truly hate myself for that ;(( Yet, i cannot believe i just had my birthday with some of my favorites.So once again,i thank the lord for making this possible :')
The following weeks after that,I ended up being busy with the schoolwork and hospital duties.Aaaanddd there ya have it!I'll try to post more before this very short break ends,'kay? ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
'til then!

Zedd: Moment of Clarity World Tour

I badly wanna go to this!!Zedd's coming back to Manila for the real tour! :)


*credits: Hyve * Manila Concerts * SM Tickets

(091413) feeding program.

Once again,i apologize for neglecting my blog.Last month has definitely been harsh and busy even if we have a duty break and intrams.I was doomed, finishing ze deadly thesis and requirements (plus,the never-ending make-up classes). -__- Hence, I knew this was coming eversince this whole schoolyear started---that it's gonna be a whack.And I would highlight the fact that there has never been a day without CRAMMING. Sigh,anyway 5 more months to go!
Moving on, here's to share one of the activities I've documented during our duty days. We conducted a feeding program at Parang,Marikina City.:) So this is what I wrote:


"Last Saturday, Sept. 14 2013, the BSN groups 4B and 4C conducted a health teaching and feeding program at Brgy. Cruz Compound as part of their implementation for their community diagnosis. It was the kids then, who became their audience that time since most of the adults at the barangay were at work. The program started with a health teaching about Leptospirosis and Dengue which are very common to occur this rainy season.

The health teaching of both illnesses includes its definition, mode of transmission, signs and symptoms and preventive measures. And part of it is to encourage them to go to the nearest health center when they are not feeling well already especially when the illness’ signs and symptoms occur. The kids were very participative during the whole teaching as they read our visual aids. Though, we still provide them with fliers for them to get more information about the illnesses.
After the health teaching, the group also taught the kids about proper nutrition.


We taught them how to make a vegetative juice made up of kamote leaves and calamansi. At the end, we had our feeding program by serving the kids with lugaw and juice. Happily, the kids were very satisfied about the activity we had for them."


In addition to that, I met this little boy over there and uhmm,doesn't he looked familiar?the little boy version of Sam YG perhaps?hahaha! :p No wonder,this cutie has middle east blood too! :))
'til then! *credits to Sophie for ze pics. :)

'cause it's always a GOOD TIME!!

aaaannddd ze long wait is over! :D Last Aug.07,I went to Carly Rae Jepsen's concert at the SMART Araneta Colliseum and it was awesome! I got to admit that the show was very short since she sang all the songs in a medley(actually,the intermission between her show and the front act was the one that took long).But anyway,it was all good.She's even so cute on stage!! :)

more pics at photobucket.com/juliasgraphics
I didn't know that she had a recent change of her hair color then from brunette to redhead.Now she looks whiter with that kind of hairdo! Though she was very entertaining throughout the show like she keeps on talking about her love story which is quite the story behind her songs.Here's a quick vid of Carly doing a little tap dance:

more CRJ vids here on youtube.com/hauntedtwist :)
At the end of the concert,I took a pic at the Candies' carpet which featured of course, Carly Rae.The pic is on my instagram (@juliacoleen). I even spotted one of Adamson's volleyball player, Mayette Zapanta :)

Soooo there ya have it!I'll be changing my layout then in preparation for ze brrr month.Oh wow,time flies really fast isn't it?
'til then!

PS: I hope everyone's safe from the typhoon last week!

(081813) World of Toyota

Toyota had it's event entitled, "World of Toyota" at the World Trade Center from Aug.10-18,2013.I had myself tagging along with my mom (since she's working in Toyota as a sales manager) on the last day of it which was yesterday!Though I should have gone there earlier because they have different perks everyday and I adore their host so much which was Carla Dunareanu.heehee! :D Since it was the last day yesterday, it was all crowded then so I wasn't able to play the videogame there (in which I thought that could help me learn how to drive!lol). However, it was all fun! I took a tour around the different Toyota vehicles and collectibles and at some points, I just gotten a little bit interested on those now.haha!Take note: just a little bit. ;))
Here's my pics at the event:
the evolution of Toyota Corolla


We have a car like this before aka,the Macho Machine :)))










and here's my beautiful favorite while she was hosting an hourly segment on the event..



We're actually at her back.heehee! :>

It's actually my third time to meet Carla in person and she's absolutely stunning and nice! You guys should catch her on On Demand at Magic 89.9 every 9am-12pm with Boom Gonzales. :) Sooo there ya have it!Another fun fun event from Toyota.PS:I'm looking forward for more soon. ;)
