Please forgive me...

Warning: This is a totally narcissistic post.

I know nothing gives me the right to pollute the internet with my face but can I just say I am so in love with my Mac? Not because it's super high-tech or something but because its camera makes me look pretty.

Right?! RIIIIIIIIIIGHT?!

Good vibes, Adam, please...

Since I've been down on the dumps lately - all thanks to that comment - I am obliged to post a photo of a topless hot male person here to lift my spirits up even for just a bit:

I've chosen Adam Levine because while I was renaming my audio files, I've come across one of the digital copies of their album booklets and this was in it. Being the shallow girl that I am, I lifted the photo from it and ogled at it for a good 5 minutes before actually posting it here so I can ogle at it some more.

Why is this photo haunting me?

So after all the drama I've been drowning myself in these past couple of days, this is the last photo I wanted to see because it reminds me so much of how I've let myself go through all these years but it popped up all of a sudden in Facebook (posted by Majoy Siason). I don't want to overthink it or anything but is it possible that the universe is throwing this to me intentionally, to make me feel more shitty than I already am feeling? Why?

Candid face

One of the things that have been bothering me about planning my wedding is the photos, mainly because I don't take pretty candid photos. I mean, that's what pre-nups and wedding photos are all about, right? If I don't find a photographer that will make me look decent in my candid wedding photos, well, that's just sad...

Hot guy mugshot.

I got this hot guy mugshot over at the Thought Catalog (and they got it from a Tumblr page called Hot and Busted) and can I just say he's so hot ohmygod. He reminds me of both Chuck Bass and Nate Archibald.

Side note: Gossip Girl is taking so long to start this year...

The Outbreak BGC experience

I was way too excited to run the Outbreak BGC as documented here, here and here that when I got there, I got stressed out by the traffic. Yes, I was that intense that night. We got to the registration area at around 10:40pm to have our bibs scanned and we were given the flags. We waited for around 30-40 minutes for wave 34 to run. I finished earlier than Trish although I've seen her a good half kilometer ahead of me a few zombies after gun start.

Here are some of my thoughts after my much-awaited Outbreak BGC run, in no particular order:

• I don't think the organizers anticipated the size of the place and the number of attendees when they went on their ocular. Everyone was cramped in the small registration area beside the football field.
• People who wore new kicks that night were really in for the muddiest shock of their lives.
• Trish and I planned on having our picture taken in one of the photobooths we saw when we arrived. After the race, though, nakauwi na sila.
• I don't think I ran 5k. I finished the course at 30, 45 minutes tops which isn't possible because I just brisk walked the entire time.
• The girl who kept pushing me on the course almost tripped me. Good thing I got away from her grip and she was the one who got knocked off her feet.
• The zombie who took my last flag - yes, I gave them all up - got a feel of my backside.
• The zombie who welcomed me to the second half of the course looks vaguely like the male host of Sports Unlimited. Sounds like him too. Forgot his name though.
• I didn't get to pass by the chimes and garter part of the course which sucked a bit.
• I expected some zombies in the labyrinth but there weren't any.
• The girl running beside me kept screaming "Ayoko na! Ayoko na!". I wanted to tell her "Sana di ka nalang sumali..."
• I think I'm a top finisher for wave 34 because majority of my wave finished 30 minutes after I did.
• I enjoyed the part where there were jeepneys and school buses blocking the way.

Photos from the event:

Trish as a Paulinian, me as a corporate slave in running shoes.

She finished with all three flags intact.

With the nurse and chef zombies. I wasn't aware that he was touching me until I saw this photo. 

Our cheerleaders, Carlo, Peng, Reg and Kuya. Midnight meal at Chicboy, Arnaiz.

All in all, it was a really fun experience. I just wish Trish got a prize for her 3 flags and I knew if I were part of the top 20 runners of our wave.

Can you please stop it with the hotness?

This is one of the greatest photos posted on the Internet. At least for me.

Trike (back) ride + iPhone camera = Awesome photo

I took a tricycle going to the bank this afternoon and I got to sit on the back ride again. A first in 2 long years that I just had to take a picture. Took one of my (hideous) feet and this happened.

It looks so awesome. I didn't edit anything except for the watermark. I didn't expect for it to come out that way. It's well-lit pa! Galing talaga...

Don't I have the most adorable baby?

I was looking for Cameron Diaz - Justin Timberlake photos when I saw this.

And this is one of the many, many reasons why I have a girl crush on her.

HNNNNNGGGG.

Affirmation.

It's not fair at all that people like this exist.

She's so purdy here, I had to post it. :((

Tumblr ruined the word "Swag" for me.

SRSLY, these kids should stop using the word "swag". Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!

Saw this photo on Tumblr while looking for a specific HIMYM scene...

WHO ARE YOU, WOMAN?!

Finally, the binyag pictures are here...

...after one month and 6 days.

As I've mentioned before (http://aletotski.blogspot.com/2011/05/binyagan-blues.html), the company I've worked with before volunteered to cover Brianna's christening and the videos and photos came in just now. There are some decent shots here and there but most of them are blurry. I am not complaining, though, they did it for free anyway so I'm grateful.

I don't know if I have MOM boobs or if my dress is just unflattering. Or both.

You be the judge.

Or maybe I wore the wrong bra. I really don't know why they look like that.

And it's true what they say. Your boobs are so heavy after pregnancy that your back slouches by itself like it has a mind of its own.

New photo and description.

 
New photo and description is up. I put the purple ribbon there because I am pro-RH. Still didn't let go of the "I AM GREAT!" statement because I want an affirmation with the picture. I would like to believe that I am engaged to be married, yes, even without the rock yet.

Please forgive the crappy screen shot. I guess the obsessive-compulsive part of my description is a lie.
