Time warp.

Life has been pretty interesting these past few weeks. My cousin came with her kids last Mother's Day, even if the kids' summer classes would end by Friday. I was surprised but it was all good, I served up the dish I made for Mom and she loved it. We baked cookies on Monday night. The kids assisted me while mixing everything and they patiently waited for the cookies. It was a baking success! They went home by Wednesday though because the kids have exams. :)

I went on a major shopping trip last week. It was absolutely therapeutic. I still can't believe I bought 6 necklaces though, haha... that was a splurge. Loot consisted of clothes, accessories and slippers! Now my shopping money is all gone~ Oh well, at least I was able to stick to the budget. :D

Last April 29, I met the kid in the Mister Donut commercial. Her name is Phoebe and she so hyper. She kept asking me about flash games. Hehehe... What an adorable kid. :P

I plan to bake a cake for LA's birthday this June 3rd. I already have the ingredients but I'm wondering if I should make a strawberry - chocolate cake. Kids always love chocolate. Hehe... Or maybe I'll just make strawberry icing on top of a chocolate cake? Hmmm... Guess I just have to leave the decision to the birthday celebrant. Hehe~ :p

Your ultimate college life guide!

Seventeen's Last Issue

I have been an avid reader of Seventeen Philippines since I turned 17 years old. My very first issue back in June 2001 was the first magazine I have ever bought in my entire life. I handled it with utmost care and after reading the magazine from cover to cover, I knew I'd buy it EVERY MONTH. :)

What I love about the magazine is that it completely covers all about a college girl's life. From school booboos to serious dating issues, from hot fashion trends to making your own money 101. Even sensitive issues were brought to light. I've gotten so much information just from reading these magazines. Not to mention their contests that have lots of prizes. I managed to win a couple of these and was able to bring some friends to a vacation fit for a princess. :D

Gosh, I can ramble on and on how this magazine has changed my life for the better. It has been a part of my life and now that it is on its last issue, I feel terribly sad. Its like saying goodbye to a dear friend. For me, no other magazine compares to Seventeen. :(

I'm 24 years old now. And I'm glad that Seventeen Philippines was part of my life, because it made me feel that no matter how old I really am... I will forever be Seventeen. :)
