Happy Family :)

Photos were taken last Feb. 16, 2009 expect for the last pic of Chusy taken on her 3rd month.

Before and After

Today, I finally did it. After so many days of soul-searching. Hahaha. Exagg! Last Saturday, Oan said that my hair has grown so long and that I had to cut it. Hahaha. But I love my hair. I know it's not pretty and all but I love it. It's like my security blanket. Something to cover my imperfections. So I just couldn't get rid of it.

I browsed for pix of haircuts I think would suit me but I ended up telling the stylist to keep it layered and long. At the back of my head I was like, "If you want things to stay the same, then you shouldn't have gone to the salon!"

But she said, "Hmm... 4 1/2 inches?" WTF!!! My limit was 3 inches. I bargained for 3 1/2 but she said 4 1/2 would be best. To my surprise, I found myself saying, "Okay..." - submissively. I've known the stylist since highschool. Not that we were friends. It's just that I choose her everytime I go there since she's not 'bading'. No offense ha, but most badings think they know what's best for you and decide to cut your hair their way - truly against your wishes. So I want a girl as a stylist because they tend to be more understanding of your needs and limitations.

Today, this woman pushed me to 4 1/2 inches or even more. I was definitely caught off-guard. At the end of it, I faced the mirror and was shocked. It's not as short as what people might think. But for me, I felt my hair was all gone. But Ryan said this is the best cut he's seen me in. Aww. :) Sometimes, I think he's just saying nice things just to comfort me, but I have a strong feeling he's telling the truth this time. Hahaha. :)

Anyway, I love my hair though it's shorter, I'm sure it'll grow back soon. :)

MATT GIRAUD FOREVER!!!

I love Matt!!! He reminds me of how I felt for Elliott Yamin starting from the very first audition til the season progressed. Humble but super talented. I am hoping he wins this season. Compared to Danny and Adam, I think Matt is the best - soulful and classy! :)

I hope I can vote for him too. Aww. :(

I miss Elliott!!! Come back here!

I aslo like Megan a lot. I hope she stays. I'm guessing it's Michael Sarver's turn to go, if not, uh-oh - it's gonna be a big surprise tomorrow!!! Can't wait! Good luck everyone. :)

Eliminations - 1st Round

This season, I'm really having a hard time choosing who to send home. They're all very talented unlike in past seasons when it was somehow such an ease to think of someone who wouldn't make the cut in a snap of a finger.

But last night, I was just so nervous for all of them. All of them were great but I must agree, Jasmine and Jorge didn't pick songs that best suited their voice and personality. I'm feeling really sad that their journey was cut short. I just can't help but feel sorry for both of them since they looked sincerely nice. Very humble and seems to be unaware of how much talent they've got. I've never been a fan of overconfident people no matter how great they are because if they're that great, then there's certainly no reason to brag or show off, right?

Well, all the best for Jasmine and Jorge - I hope they continue pursuing their dream.

My Welcome Back Cake

I got back from Hongkong last Friday and yesterday Ryan came with a box of cake in his hands. My mom was like, "Ano yang hawak mo?" Kasi wala namang occasion or anything. Haha. Yun pala it's my welcome back cake. So I said, aalis na nga lang ako lagi para lagi akong may cake. Hahaha.

But seriously, I think it's so sweet of him to go out of his way just to bring me something. Aww. I love him so much. He's the greatest guy ever! :) I missed him everyday I was away. Thanks Yanyan! :)
