Eat Bulaga

It was my first time to watch Eat Bulaga live and its good to see what usually happens behind the camera and during commercial break on TV. It was fun, though I prefer watching on TV but if you have a contact person for reservation then why not try it for a couple of times.

We watched March 15 and the night before my sister told me that Jessica Sanchez will be there. I knew that every Saturday that you will never expect who will be there because they do guest some artist to dance on the opening or be a judge on their different contests.

I planned to bring my zoom lens and I used it for the second time that week and I'm just so happy to use it. I honestly enjoyed shooting with it than watching live. Haha.

Hair Dye-ary . Cousin Edition Part 1

Yes. Part 1 because there will be Part 2 and yes, it's a "cousin edition"

Hello there!

Since I started to dye my hair late last year, my cousin Alaine and Apples also wanted to try it since they are fan of anime and somehow love fashion. So they have this 'summer wish' for this year and their mother allowed them to dye their hair in one condition, the colored part will go by June when vacation was over. Since I did a dip dye hair last February, they got the same idea so when their hair will be longer there will be no problem when its time to let go. this happened last March 27, 2013.

I took care of the ordering part but they were allowed to choose what shade of color they wanted and still I ordered at Funky Streaks [ thanks for the very smooth transaction Jane! :)) ] 


Alaine wanted a blue one and instead of Ice Berg we ordered the Rockabilly Blue

there's no pretty shade of purple that are available on Manic Panic so even there's a little hesitation I ordered this a little bit foreign product to me: Punky Colour by Jerome Russell (purple)

For best result you need to bleach your hair.

I struggled on Apples hair because it was so short! and in my part I'm a little afraid to make it higher though 2 months is enough to grow your hair out but still. ... haha

this was the result of the bleached hair of Apples

due to procrastination and panic ... Alaine's hair is not as white as Apples because she panic and never wanted to be the first ... so it turned brown and said she looked like Mr. Pringles 

after drying their hair, I started to apply the semi dye stuff to their hair. My mom took my camera and do the picture / documenting it.

Alaine's hair ...

I couldn't resist!!!! HAHAHA my hair is faded already from the last time so I asked their permission for me to have some and they let me :p 

blue violet . this is the result after ... 2 washes.

I'm planning to do a review post about using Manic Panic and Punky Colour since I just discovered it couple of months ago when Funky Streaks had it on January (?). and of course my own Hair Dye-ary post. 

I'm also procrastination on some blog post .. I'm such a lazy ass ... hopefully I will fix these photos this week. 

Hey kids! it just the 1st week of April if you want to try something new this summer try coloring your hair and cut it by the end of the vacation but please ask permission from your parents! Have fun and order some semi hair dye at Funky Streaks! :))

ParaThrilla in Manila 2

If there's a future we want it NOW. 

I can't believe that we didn't need to wait for more than 5 years to see these guys again. The last time that they've been here was March 9, 2010 (here's my not so detailed blog post about it).

I'm so thankful for these people because of them I met some amazing people around the world like Hannah from Australia (who I met on twitter but now I don't have a contact with her but she sent me a Christmas card long time ago), Cate from Portugal but I think she's in UK now (its silly but I got her Blackberry pin on twitter then we started talking on BBM then on twitter and on Facebook. Even though we don't talk that much anymore I still treasure her so much), Mair (we don't talk that much but we are getting there). They are just a few people I met online but of course I also met some Paramore fans from here (Philippines) namely Pia, Nikki, Kai. (its not that many but I love these people so much and I'm glad that I met them already except for Nikki but Pia and I watched Avril together last year and Paramore this year and yes after meeting Kai online last 2009 or 2010 I already met her in person last February 15 and her cousin and friends and also Pia's friends).

I rant about this again and again maybe I'll stop after this post, HAHAHA. I really want to meet Hayley, Taylor and Jeremy and as you know you can have a meet and greet if you won on a contest by the producers or music label or through the fan club and on Paramore there's PFC (Paramore Fan Club). I decided earlier last year that I will join but unfortunately its closed for new members for almost a year now and that's the reason why I wasn't able to meet them. I will join PFC as soon as they opened it and anyway Paramore will not come back soon because they have scheduled tour dates and let all the ParaFamily saw them this year, its been a while.

Another rant, MOA Arena will never fail to disappoint me for some reason. HAHAHA.
I don't know if it was Ovation or whatever but just like the first concert where the VIP was placed behind the Gold area but this time, the VIP with reserved seats was not separated with the VIP Standing.

I was early at MOA because it was Friday and it was payday so I decided to be there at lunch time to stalk a little and to spend some time at MOA because I don't know when was the last time I've been there and also to avoid traffic.

The same thing that happen with this and the first show in Manila last 2010 was I WAS ON THE SIDE OF JEREMY AGAIN. I'M NOT COMPLAINING BUT I REALLY WISHED IT WAS TAYLOR THAT WAS ON OUR SIDE :((((

I'm really not complaining but I wished it was Taylor's side ... oh well, I also love Jeremy and gosh Kat is so lucky to have a hairy-handsome-husband. Next time, I will be on the middle where it was the best place to be in, in front of Hayley.

I didn't go to a Paramore show to be a photographer, I went there to experienced Rock and Roll so I don't care if my photos are not that good but I have some decent one and I'm satisfied with that. If there will be a 3 or 2 days Paramore show here in Manila maybe I'll spend the first day partying then the second day videoing the whole concert OR I WILL HIRE SOMEONE TO VIDEO THE WHOLE CONCERT NEXT TIME. HAHAHAHA and I'll make sure he/she is not a fan.

Paramore helped me in a lot of ways most especially coping with my past life to make me move on, make me realize that I was never alone in this, that there are people experiencing the same or worst than my situation. When I'm on a bad mood, their music makes me calm. I know or maybe I'll just tell you that:
My day will never be complete without a Paramore song. and I guess it will never get old.

Here are some photos before, during and after the show.

Kai, Me, Katrina and her 2 friends [sorry guys I forgot your names :(]
thank you guys for such a good company before and after the show! see you soon and hopefully another concert where we can be on the same section :)

the MYX crew . Oh hi Chino.

mewithoutYou : the front act and one of the influences and inspiration of Paramore

Hayley Nichole Williams on vocals

AHHHHHH . 

Kat's hairy face husband : Jeremy Davis on bass guitar 

I love this shot 

So, I was telling earlier that I was again on Jeremy's side and that means I don't have a decent photo of Taylor, Justin, Jon and Ilan Rubin </3. Well, Taylor went to our side but its either I'm filming or my camera is not that ready or the huge guy in front of us was fan girling over Taylor York. I swear next time I'll hire a photographer. So here are some decent stage shot that I got. 

oh, there's Taylor York on lead guitar

oh there's Justin and Ilan 

my favorite photo . although not all of them are in the photo .... 

A Paramore show will always be awesome. Although Manila didn't experience the presence of Josh Farro, we appreciate that they are willing to go back after 2 1/2 years and hopefully soon again once the 4th album was released because it was always different on live shows. 

Mary, Me, Pia, Kristine and Mary's brother
thank you guys! I had fun and we totally partied that night and I hope we can watch another concerts together. See you around :)

For now, we are all patiently waiting for "Paramore" the 4th album of Paramore and as we are across the world from where they are, we are being satisfied with the new interviews that are posted online, new photos from Soundwave, random post of Hayley on LiveJournal, Instagram, Tumblr and on Twitter. 

Last Saturday, it was the 3rd anniversary of Paramore's first show here in Manila the "ParaThrilla in Manila" and this year was a little bit different since the band was just here last month not 3 years ago. 

I don't have a decent photos from the first ParaThrilla in Manila but I'm happy I got some this time and since it was too many, you can check my photos here .   

Lastly, I would like to thank Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor for continuing this journey and I'll be here with you on this new journey. thank you and we love you guys so much can't wait for the new album. see you soon <3

I know this was a little late post. hehe

Hair Dye-ary . Two Toned

Hey blogger, its been a while. . . .

I've been busy lately but I'm loving it and as much as my last entry I only have 2 backlogs (this entry and my ParaThrilla in Manila 2). 

If you follow my hair dye-ary then this was a little big step after the first one. Well, I planned about this and I'm happy that I was able to do it and after this I don't know yet what to do with my hair dye-ary series. I'm not yet planning to drown my hair with a jar of Manic Panic though but at the same time I don't like my hair being plain black since the first time I've dyed a part of it. 

Last February 5th, I don't have to do anything late that night and I decided to dye it since I'm being bored for my one-side-slightly-blonde-streak and its been like that for 2 months and I just want some changes. It's not that I didn't like it, I just got bored with it and I just took that opportunity, that free time I had since I knew that I'll be busy the following days and yeah I was busy the next days and weeks.

Some might think that it's just because I'm going back to my Alma Mater, maybe it was but it was also because of the Paramore show that happened last February 15th (I'll blog about that after this maybe not right after publishing this but I will). People will not believe but I'm just pretty bored with the blonde streak.

I didn't do the everyday photo this time but even though it's fading I still like it. 

Here's my before photo . Well technically, this was the last photo before I did the major hair dye thing.


I said on my last hair dye-ary post that it will be bigger next time well it happened ;)

Just like the last time, I did the bleaching process first.
Here's a picture before rinsing it after a 45 minute bleaching
Dyeing your hair is really messy most especially if no one was there to help you but it's fun to do all the work, you will appreciate more your dyeing job. ;)

After bleaching, it will be a really dry and frizzy

it was much lighter than the other because that was the section where my slightly blonde streaks. After bleacher, it gets more blonde or should I say white (somehow, I dreamed of being a blonde or just have some streaks. I'll go with the streaks being blonde is not really what I want. lol)


After drying my bleached hair, I applied my Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink and I washed it the next morning probably it stayed there for 6 hours, I slept with it. It's still the one that I ordered last October and I'm happy to say that I still have some but I'm not re-applying those to my fading hair. 

and the result ... 

I'm really in love with these, though its fading now.

 Alright, you might asked why is it two toned or why the right side is pink and the other was red?

- It became like that because I didn't use all of the bleaching stuff before because I want to save some or because I don't know if I applied the equal amount on both sides but in this case since I already bleach/colored and right side it became whiter when I re-bleached it this time. That's why you need more bleaching stuff if you really want your hair to be pink, blue, green, red or orange. 

Lesson learned, stock more bleaching stuff. HAHA 

It will be summer time here in the Philippines and kids will be on vacation soon then if you want to do something different OR IF YOUR PARENTS WILL ALLOW YOU this summer or maybe you just want to be colorful on the beach then you might want to try dyeing your hair using a semi permanent dye.  

I hope this helped and you can ask me question if you want to know more details. :) 

I got my Manic Panic at Funky Streaks.

Hair Dye-ary . Hot Hot Pink

this makes me excited somehow ... lol

So I heard about Manic Panic from some artist like Hayley Williams of Paramore, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga .. and I was intrigued about it and read that it was a good product and also its Vegan (you can read more about it on its website http://www.manicpanic.com/ ) sadly at first you'll think its only available in the USA but since I do read / following some bloggers here in Manila I got some information that not making mainstream as the others. I read http://www.theplumpinay.com/ and Stacy and Danah tried the Manic Panic and from that I'm surprised that someone is selling Manic Panic here in Manila! (check more information about it at http://www.funkystreaks.com/ )

Hair Dye is included on the things I do want to try so last October I ordered a Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink and without any hassle on the transaction and on communication with Jane I got my Manic Panic the other day after I pay via G-Cash. Thanks Jane! :)


 The only problem I was having is where to buy a bleaching kit beacuse its never available in stores except if you go to a salon which is unlikely for me because mostly they don't get what I wanted and I don't want to pay another fee just because someone will bleach my hair .... Good thing a Bleaching Kit is also available at http://www.funkystreaks.com/ and I included that to my order ...

Bleaching Kit + Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink



Last October 31 I did just stayed at home while baby sitting my sleeping niece ... I planned to make hair dye 101 happened.



I did only a portion of my hair since I'm experimenting on how long will it last and what will be the result of fading ... so next time I'll do a bigger portion I know what to expect.


I do bleach my hair first and I did not used everything because it will be too much for a small portion and here's the result after bleaching for 45 minutes I rinse it with shampoo.
Earlier that day

and after drying it I applied the Manic Panic and please do buy an extra gloves on using Manic Panic ... you don't want to end up like this ...


Good thing its Halloween time ... lol

after 4 hours (because I watched new episodes of my favorite series while waiting...) I rinse it up with water and conditioner ... 


I'm so happy with the result and I know you can see it . :))) HAHAHA

Day 1


Day 2




Some says it looks like Red but duhhh. its hot hot pink!

I'll update you on what will happen next days ... for now, I'm happy with the result and I'm enjoying it :)
