First, proof that I was at iBlog 4’s after-party last Saturday. Because, my friends, the law of the internet is: PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!!! (or PICS OR NOT TRUE!!!):
THERE’S A NORMAL LOOKING PENNY, HELGA, AND ANNE.
AND THEN THERE’S MIKEY.
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT LUIS DID TO BIM, BUT IT CAN’T BE GOOD.
Highlight of the evening was watching Ade and Lauren’s band, Lose Your Beer Belly, play.
Now that that’s out of the way.
In today’s episode, we tackle pressing matters such as your newfound internet fame, how not to come across as an attention whore when you’re, well, pretending to NOT be one (and obviously failing at it), missing doctypes, swearing off dating bloggers (but there is an exception, apparently), why screaming Japanese gibberish in a really high-pitched voice at 3 in the morning can be annoying to some people, and how to properly respond to stalker-ish blog entry mentions about you.

I can’t believe that I just spent two days and one night in a place devoid of any necessities (and what more, conveniences) offered by the modern world. And damn, I do declare: Anawangin Cove was LOVELY. Sure, we had our “I wanna go back home, OMG OMG OMG I miss my bed, I miss my boyfriend, I want a massage, I want flushing toilets and a proper shower, I want fried chicken, I want a chocolate milkshake, I want to go back home and blog, I wish I never came here, I miss Twitter” moments, but all in all, we fared pretty well.
No, that’s an understatement. If there’s anything we learned about ourselves this weekend, it’s that surviving in the wilderness on a remote island (with no electricity, no running water, no cellular reception, no cold drinks, and no fresh-off-the-deep-fryer KFC chicken) skills? WE HAZ ‘EM. And I shit you not when I say we had to gather wood for fire (because the dude with the stove was caught up in them mountains). As Anne said, while we were dragging the firewood from the beach back to our tents: How primitive. I shit you not, too, when I say that it took ten people to cook a pot of rice. We blame it on our sheltered middle class upbringing.
Anawangin Cove is, hands down, one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. The landscape is amazing and something I’ve never seen before (probably because I don’t travel much and tend to stick to tried-and-tested vacation destinations): mountains, a gorgeous beach, pine trees, a river, a lake, foliage, chickens (srsly, chickens at a beach???), and the clearest moonlit night sky. It all sounds cheesy until you get there, so shut up, asshole.
Unfortunately, everyone had the brilliant idea of going there the same weekend as us. The place was substantially peopled, much to our annoyance (because we’re greedy and we don’t particularly like showering in front of an ogling male crowd or sharing two toilets with a hundred strangers), but it was an all right crowd. I guess. It’s not like we had a choice.
It is also worth saying that although we had with us several bottles of alcohol, none of us got drunk or attempted to get drunk. This camping trip earns the Most Sober Fun I’ve Ever Had My Whole Life award.
I love the Philippines =)
Pictures! Lots of them! Here and here and here and under the cut!

What I did today, instead of working on the five design plates due for my crash course on creative conceptualization tomorrow:
I don’t eat fishies or Whiskas, though. Meow.
(Yes yes, I know it looks like somebody came all over me. Dirty mirror shots = fail.)

A new theme, again. I was supposed to upload this yesterday except I couldn’t get the theme to work right. I was getting this stupid error where the entry shows up twice when you go in it and I thought I had messed up my coding or the PHP includes UNTIL I activated the Cherry Berry and Default themes and still got the same bug.
So I upgraded to 2.5 and hoped that it’d fix the problem. And fixed the problem, it did!
I’m not done tweaking things (gotta work on the comments color scheme) and I’m actually scared to check if this theme validates for XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but it’s something I gotta do. For now, I give you webcam shots of a pot-bellied Peachy!
Major major headache. If you have any comments or suggestions, they will be appreciated as only lover has seen the draft for this theme. I know it’s not much of a change from the last one; it’s just that I’m very comfortable with this sort of layout.
Edit:
Yay. Valid CSS and XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Gotta work on XHTML 1.0 Strict.

First things first: my bandwidth has reached 80% of its limit and there’s a good chance my site will be experiencing some downtime, seeing that I’m as broke as a jobless single mother of two with a crack addiction and won’t be able to upgrade my hosting package any time soon. I was reading up on bandwidth optimization last night but I can’t, for the life of and geek in me, understand how to enable HTTP compression. I fail. And OMG, I keep getting email reminders and the usage keeps going up every time! I’m panicking!!!
I already emailed Dragweb to inquire about upgrading my package (a backgrounder: I’m currently on a free hosting package because when I renewed my site last May 2007, my host was supposed to move my site to his new hosting company, but that didn’t happen. So though I’m supposed to be with Technoville, I’m not. But my domain name registration is. Anyway, DW downgraded my package). I even thought about just completely switching hosts, but when I think about it, I like Dragweb. Never had any downtime, they get back to me pretty quickly, and I like their packages. Plus, the fact that my site isn’t even supposed to be up (technically) but IS up shows that they somewhat care about their clients. Aww.
I hate being broke and jobless, being the kind of person who never had any sort of financial difficulties in the past. I can’t ask my mom for money to pay for hosting because that would set off the parental Spanish Inquisition (What’s a blog? Why do you have one? What do you put there? Can we see?). I already asked my mom for money to buy 2 gigs of RAM for 1k and she said yes; too bad I was a day late and the dude found a buyer. Meh.
Plus, my mom had a garage sale the other day and sold about half of my wardrobe (obviously, stuff I no longer wear). None of the earnings went to me, of course, and I’m not complaining. I just wish I had the means to replace the stuff that went out because my cabinet is looking very very very dismal.
That said, here’s a bunch of stuff I bought at the mall yesterday. “Essentials”, is what I call them: V05 Curvaceous Curls mousse for my, uh, curls. Revlon Colorsilk in Light Plum Brown because my roots are showing and I have this knack for never using the same brand and color when re-touching my hair. The Face Shop’s Baked Shimmer All-Over Illuminator in Pink Nuance which better be worth the price tag (it’s cheek blush and eyeshadow in one).
Check out this funny (picture sucks because I have a piece of shit point-and-shoot camera):
I was surprised to see that the pretty mug I picked out for my afternoon coffee had an Oscar de la Renta marking on it. Yeah, what’s next, Valentino teaspoons?
(I am well aware that Oscar de la Renta has a tableware collection, but this mug is definitely not part of it)
