Dear Children,
I am not sure about what to say to you kids. I am only a teenager from the past writing to her future children. Anyways, I kinda feel the need to mention that my internet is shitty(if this word still considered a profanity in the future, please don't use the word or I'll make you kids wash your mouth with soap). I hope that if ever you kids find this in the depths of this long forgotten blog, this was a product of boredom. I seriously don't know what to say to you, kids. What can I say to show how much I am proud of you? How much I want the best for you? How much I love you?
Still, even if my mind is a blur, I feel like I know exactly what I want to say to you.
To my sons, if you boys ever get into sports, that would be great. May I remind you that I will be that typical soccer mom, the one who cheers for you in the bleachers AND the one who gets worried as hell(sorry) when you guys get injured. If you ever choose video game over any outdoor activity, I will ground you. So if video games might be cooler than the ones we have in this era, I won't have bug-eyed, obese game addicts for sons.
Also, please learn that regardless of how fast times will be by then, it's
still in fashion to respect girls. If you guys ever introduce me to your girlfriends, expect me to welcome that bitch(again, sorry)with raised eyebrows rather than open arms. Sorry. I want a girl who's perfect for you and if I see that(translation: ME) in her, then I would want some grand-kids, please. LOLJK(Laugh Out Loud Joke. Gosh. That sounded awkward). But please, be around twenty or thirty something with a stable career, your own house and car(maybe a flying one?)when you introduce me to your gal.
To my daughters, I hope you love fashion as much as I do. But most importantly, I hope you get to appreciate style more. After all, according to Yves Saint Laurent(Google--or whatever search engine is the rage then--him) "Fashion fades, but style is eternal". And you girls are beautiful. Don't be insecure like me. The time you spend on obsessing a flaw could've been used in trying to be perfect you you could ever be. I hope you don't wear too much makeup, too. I want naturally beautiful inside and out daughters, not cake monsters
When it comes to boys, I just hope you won't commit the same mistakes I did: fall for the wrong guy; wait for nothing to happen; act like they're you're number 1 priority, etc. But I'm not too bad: I am almost 18 and I've never had a boyfriend and as much as possible, you girls should be the same, too. I know by then, you could be two and pregnant. More 12 year old girls are getting pregnant these days, I bet fetuses will be pregnant in your time. BUT PLEASE. DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID 'KAY. SAME GOES FOR YOUR BROTHERS. MAYBE BOYS COULD GET IMPREGNATED BY A GIRL IN THE FUTURE. OH DEAR.
To you kids combined, I hope you learn how to respect me. I don't want you kids to be mad at me and treat me harshly. Maybe I'll be strict to you kids, but it's only because I want you kids to have the kind of guidance I wish I had and the complete kind of love I wish I could feel from my parents. I will be the best mother I can be. I will work hard to grant you kids a
life I've never lived growing up and I will be there also when you need
me. When you need a hug. When you need advise. When you feel the need
to eat some home-cook meals, I will try to be there. Always.
Also, don't laugh or make weird faces if I play my music. I've done this to my parents when they played their groove on and thinking about it now, I would feel immensely terrible if you laugh at the music I love.
Make goals, too. I want you kids to aspire higher. please bear in mind I didn't grow up rich and only had goals to keep me going. I wish you guys--though I know I have worked enough to keep you guys from the poverty I've experienced--will have goals to keep you going, too.
Don't argue with each other, too. Establish good relationships with each other regardless of your differences. One day, your father and I will be gone and you'll have no one else to depend but each other. My Dad told my siblings and me that all the time and it's very true.
My final advise for you kids is to be happy. I want you kids to feel genuinely happy with your lives and not experience the depression I did when I was your age. It's good to be sad, but depression is another thing. Don't get sucked into it. Life is beautiful and there are a ton of things to be happy about. Flying cars! Come on!
Okay. Just kidding. But still, be happy. And follow everything I say. I don't want you kids to feel the hurt and heartache of the life I Lived when I was your age. I don't want you kids to be the worst kind my parents had to encounter when they raised me. No mother wants to see their kids fail in life. I mean, I know I'm writing this as some sort of joke, but I really mean it when I say I don't want you kids to be screw ups!
One last thing,: bet you kids are good-looking. Boys, girls and robots are probably mad about you. Thank your momma for your good genes...but mostly your Dad. ;)
With love,
Gillian Mercado Cortez-(insert last name of your father)

I Think I'm Gonna Dye
The hair color debate isn't done yet! More hair color porn for your pleasure is coming right up!
Ugh. I wish I could dye my hair at the moment(but with a Dad and school like mine, better stay in the traditional territory).
Katy Perry was on Ellen recently and I fell in love with her hair color. It's plummy purple that looks so different than other purple hair I've ever seen. It is <3
The ombre is haunting me again! Gah! I lavett
This one falls on the ombre side, but it's really subtle nga lang. Perfect for me since I cannot afford to be get scolded because of obvious roots
Peach colored hair! That isn't something you hear every day. Lauren Conrad makes it so chic!
How about something natural, but better. This color is a teensy bit darker than my natural hair color(if not exactly the same) but somehow, it doesn't look mousy as my normal hair color does. This is perfect for school.
But alas, I can't dye thy locks. My hair has been feeling dry lately. I better invest in some deep conditioner than a hair dye! :D

100th post
March of the year 2010, I took a plunge and made a blog here on Blogspot. It was a decision made out of haste: How the hell will I keep up with a blog? Will I be committed to it? I already blogged a bit on my Multiply and that wasn't even something I wanted to do regularly.
But I just went in and made a blog. I wrote my first entry. I went on and wrote another entry over a week later. I knew that having a blog wasn't really my forte so I never really wrote too much last year. Heck, I even copied and pasted some of the stuff I wrote from my Multiply blog!
It was only early this year that I realized that this blog was my only creative outlet at that time so I made the most of it......and enjoyed tons. Now, look: 100 posts later!
I know, I know. It's 2012; only 100 posts? For me, considering all the crazy, busy shit I've been going through, that's an accomplishment.
I'd like to thank my loyal followers and all the people who've dropped by my blog. It means a lot.
Now, on to the next hundred! :D
Summer Soundtrack :D
It's May! It may be June next month but that doesn't mean summer is over, right?
I didn't do much this summer(if not, didn't do anything at all), but I did write a lot, updated my blogs and of course, sound trip!
Here's a list of some of my fave songs to hear this summer :D
This really is the best song ever! :D (But worse music video ever. lol)
This is the type of song I'd sing out loud to annoy my siblings(as if they weren't already when I did.hehe).
Actually, I love hearing this song all year round. ;D
This song is very summery(in my opinion). If you're into European artists, then this song is for you.
Karmin does a lot of covers on Youtube, although I do love their original songs more. "Hello" is a recent fave of mine(after "Crash Your Party" and "Brokenhearted"). Plus, Amy's rapping skills will kill you. :D
Okay so these are some songs I'm enjoying this summer. I'm telling you, I really loving so much songs now, both new and old.
What are your favorite songs to hear this summer? :D

The MET Gala 2012 Best Dressed(LATE POST)
Last year, I was so excited over the MET Gala, not because I went(because I didn't :P) but because of the red carpet arrival of all who were invited. I was so giddy over everyone's outfits that I made this post.
But this year, what happened? Everyone is so....safe. BORING even. Ang sad. But anyways, since most who attended the MET gala looked somber, I'll talk about the ones who stood out for me. :D
Dressed that stood out--in a Good Way
1. Beyonce in Givenchy
I especially loved her train. It's like she just came from a flood of ube jam and it stained the feathers of the train. Lavett
People didn't really dig the overexposure, but I think she looks stunning in her dress. Parang dyosa! I love her sexy footwear, too! Caution: You must be a supermodel to pull this look of off. And fashion tape is a must so your zebra(or peacock, if you're a boy) won't be seen!
5. Lana Del Rey in Joseph Altuzzarra
Out of everyone in the MET, Lana's my favorite. I like the contrast her vampy cape and makeup gave to her sparkly gown. I also loved how her accessories were kept simple.
6. Christina Ricci in Thakoon
She's always dramatic when it comes to her choices for the MET and this year was no exception. The exag bow was diviiiiine.
7. Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen
She looks like a glam feather duster. 'Nuff said
8. Bianca Brandolini D'Adda in Dolce Gabbana
The Italian socialite's dress is blinding me with all the gold sparkles, which is a good thing because I'd rather feel that than eeing something boring that would just break my heart.
9. Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior
She could've stepped it up a notch with her hair and makeup(like a dark lip which is so uso now) , but he looks like a magical genie dressed in designer gossamer.
10. Mia Wasikowska in Prada
I looove this dress. It's preppy, yet glam.
11. Kate Bosworth in Prada
I normally hate her style, but I actually loved her whole look here. The dress is actually a mix of navy and burgundy feathers but it ends up looking like it's purple. Cool noh?
12. Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu
This dress is actually made from magical fish scales that could grant her a spot in everyone's best dressed list. No kidding.
13. Alexa Chung in Marc Jacobs
Very androgynous and interesting. The boxy polo, the body-con leather dress and the big clutch go together somehow.
14. Victoria Justice in McQ by Alexander McQueen
Maybe it could be mistaken for a frock meant for garden proms, but I love that it's dramatic yet it suits her age.
15. Ivanka Trump in Peter Pilotto
The cut-outs and print are so cool and futuristic.
Honorable mentions:
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady
For being the best dressed couple :D
Camilla Belle
I want that grunge dark lipstick na tuloy :P
Kate Upton
She literally made me forget that she posed for Playboy. (LOL NO) But I did love her makeup look here. Especially the brows and the lipstick.
Emma Stone
For surviving poisssibly the worst fashion dilemma of all. (Poor Lanvin dress)
Marc Jacobs
For making indecent exposure look like it's in fashion no matter how much laws there are against it.
Carine Roitfeld
For being Carine Roitfeld(and wearing those shoes). :D

2. Rihanna in Tom Ford
What do you wear to this year's MET Gala when you're known to shock everyone with your outfit every year? Simple. Something simple and Rihanna did just that. BUT there's is a line between simple with impact and simple na safe and Rihanna was the former. I love the exotic leather....but I know PETA isn't on the same page ;)
3. Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe
The MET Gala is the perfect place to wear something like this. It's fashion forward and different. J'Adore! The fact that Rachel Zoe designed this dress was a plus.
4. Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello
People didn't really dig the overexposure, but I think she looks stunning in her dress. Parang dyosa! I love her sexy footwear, too! Caution: You must be a supermodel to pull this look of off. And fashion tape is a must so your zebra(or peacock, if you're a boy) won't be seen!
