Blog for yer own life!

Pronto! Hello! Kamusta? Welcome to my blog, or should I say my life.

As someone who’s grown up with a ‘triple-lock-the-door’ father, my upbringing teaches me to let you call me as simply E. Very Gossip Girl huh? Eew. And if you intend to follow this blog (God bless your soul), everyone will be referred to as Serena, Blair, Archie,Veronica…nah, I’m kidding. I’m over that.

Then why you ask would a Rapunzel like me go and open my world for the whole universe to peruse? 

Well, why not?! …Sacre bleu! Alert the policia! My papas gonna be M-A-D!

Then again, “I’d never tell!” XOXO wahaha.

Still I think it would be wise to keep this blog a bit conservative and limit stories to everyday musings and whatnot lest I want to make blog # 5. Yes, this is my 4^th attempt to keep a blog. 

And before you think I'm a mad person who ends sentences with hehes and hahas, I wasn't really like this before. My 1^st blog I did in College, occupational hazard I guess for I took a course in..oops!  (I’m imagining Papa shaking his head right now saying “Don’t you dare give out personal info young lady!”)…uh, “Human Observation”-which turned out a wee bit better than expected. I’m (not) exactly proud of this but, it got picked up by a (teen) fashion mag once I hit the 5 6^th entry…which later on became one of their monthly things. Much to the dismay of my friends whose lives I used and first names misspelled. Yikes. I just had to bring it down because they became suspicious. Bwahaha. In my defense, I didn’t know they read fashion mags back then (we were nerds you see) and to clear my conscience from that, the Dominos they ate monthly came from that er, talent stipend!  Nya-a-a!

The second blog was just a blip. Because as I went on to pursue higher studies, it was just a vain attempt to (desperately) say that hey, even if I’m a seemingly nerd who goes to school looking like someone who  actually didn’t own a comb, I was still into music, fashion, lalalalala! And beyond yakking about Borgy Mantoc 24/7…hey,I was kewl too (I had a Friendster account noh!) As the 9gag generation say, Epic Fail.

The third one was way better, but later found out that that was just MY opinion. You can say it struck a chord with some people who thought I was trying to show how better I am than anyone else. Probably because it showcased my home, frivolities here and there, and Chanel lipstick. One even accused me of making it an “exploitative fashion blog that teaches young moms to dress their little boy like snobs”. (since my kid occupied 8 out of the only 12 entries sheesh) Whatda?!

First, you don’t know how many BigMacs I didn’t eat to buy my kid that chambray button-down. Second, its my blog, loser. And I saw your kid at the grocery store yesterday, he couldn’t hold a candle to mine. So suck it. Pardon my explicits. Lastly, my son is not a snob, he's a ray of sunshine;)

Still, I took those comments as a sign to put it down as I clearly….didn’t like the font. teehee.

For this, time can only tell if I’d be as lucky to have even a few readers except my sisters—oops, another giveaway. But what the heck, I’m not a celebrity, I don’t plan to be and not in this lifetime wish to be.

Once in a group exercise in college where a paper with your name on top was passed around for people to jot down a word that best decribes you …my top 1,2 and 3 adjectives were: “Private”, “Private” and “Maputi (Fair)”-hehe, hey, I didn’t write it! So I turned to blogging thinking it would be the only cure for me to be more open. And if release all my Papa-instilled paranoia it will, so be it. 

If exposing to the world my obsession with everything Italian, Picasso, Martha Stewart, Marc Jacobs toBorgy Manotoc, er, local brands like Bench, Game of Thrones, SPF 150, Ceftriaxone…and my deep-seated fear of ompa-loompahs and Sadako (taas-balahibo go!) will help me not be a prude, then I will write. For my super OC-ness, with the blessings of the blogging gods, I pledge to never re-read my entries more than 5x (or use auto-correct) or ask my sister to photoshop my pics (a lie!), so help me God.
