Foodies Haul from the Philippines.... duhhhh

Hello lovelies!!! How are you? I hope your having an awesome Sunday!!! Anyways I have a mini foodies haul for you right now!!! Aren't you excited? Hahaha. When I think of Philippines...I think of food, family, beautiful in some places and not so beautiful places, good times and bad times, and of course food...again lol.

Anyways I noticed that a lot of the asian food selections are a bit cheaper over there and of course I had to buy them and bring them here! I've recently found one of there more or less type of 7elevens over there. They also do have 7 eleven but they didn't have these asian goodies that I so desperately wanted to try and eat...so I went inside one of the supposed 7 elevens, the name is actually Family Mart, and I loved it there. They had so many bread selections, actual food selections, drinks and what not. Try and imagine 7 eleven right now...except instead of slurpee machines they have fro yo for like $0.50 and you control the fro yo coming out...meaning you can possibly make it the biggest fro yo cone ever. They also have chocolate, green tea, vanilla, and a mixture of those. I bought a green tea fro yo and it was amazing...heaven on a cone...plus cheap too. Moving on from fro yo...lets check out the goodies in these pictures:

Here are all the snacks I purchased:

Though it was basically all junk food it was all worth it! Lol I spent basically $20 there in total due to the foodies but I ate some of them before taking the pics...sorry...

Moving on from those foodies I went to the grocery markets for something that the Philippines is known worldwide for...Dried MANGOESSSSSS. YESSSIR. To be honest its basically candy and it is very addicting....like my mom bought a whole stock of them and they are now in our pantry...please when you do visit the Philippines go and check this out....like yeah. You need to. No brand in particular...just any bag that sells dried mangoes....

Moving on from mangoes...I've decided to reveal a whole new kind of peanut brittle to you...like the ones you just go to the Philippines for...Anyone allergic to nuts...please skip this section.

Lol. But really do not eat these if you have a peanut allergy...because there really are nuts in this peanut brittle. Which is okay....lol don't want to make the people with allergies jealous. Down side with this is it does get stuck to your teeth...so watch out.

Anyways this is bascially it for the foodies haul...sorry it took me forever to post. I've been cleaning out my room lately and trying to decide whether or not my stuffed animals should still be in my room...being a grown up is hard. Anyways look forward to my blogpost on Sunday about my new room and the struggles of growing up.

Here's the inspiration for today:

So until then...keep your head up! Andddd don't forget to spread some loveeeee out there!! Mwahhh

I know. I know. But hey...I'm in a grieving period right now.

As you can tell by the title I am in this current state of a somewhat grieving period. My grandfather recently passed away and I'm currently back in the Philippines due to our family wanting to bring him back for him to be laid to rest over here. ( update I'm back in San Diego) Sorry!! Lately I have been out of it and just totally tired and not really feeling like doing anything besides going to school and accompanying my mother at home because she doesn't like being left alone due to her father just passing (and she believes in the dead visiting you when you're by yourself lol). Anyways I'm back at school. I've only been gone for a week but it feels like I'm a whole world away sometimes...I haven't adjusted to my normal sleeping schedule...plus the fact that daylight savings time has just happened...(really?!?) I just seem to have a few things on my mind.

Btw...here's a pic of me and my cool grampapapapapa:

Pshhhh: We are thug.....lol

First things first! I have decided that this semester I have to go get a major/minor!!! Like now! Due to the fact that I'm approaching technically my fourth year but not really and yet I'm still doing general ed....like really Mitzi...I'm on a crossroads between international business/relations/communications/business/mass media/engineering/med( I know the last two are so random lol due to my mother insisting I do that!) but I mean how awesome would it be to have like Dr. Lacap...like sorry future husband but if I get married I want my last name still part of my name if I'm a doctor of some sort. Lol...always thinking about the future for me. It's taken me a while to post this post because I'm literally scatter-brained and I just feel as if my life is all over the place, so I've been keeping myself a bit distracted with certain things...like going to the library to write a blog post...I kind of regret not bringing my laptop with me today....likeeeeeee I'm legitimately using the school computer to do this right now guys...and I'm typing so loudly but i bet no one can hear me due to they all have headphones on...CRISIS AVERTED!!!

Anyways I will be uploading a new blog post within the next week...something to do with a korean makeup haul from the Philippines lol and also a foodies haul because I discovered some food in a little supermarket in the Philippines that I became obsessed with and I took a few pictures before I eat all of it. Also one about my diet will also be going up so please wait for that. Most likely one will be uploaded on Sunday and then Wednesday and then Sunday again. I've decided to make these my upload for blog posts days and then make friday and tuesday my video upload days. So that is all the updates for today....untillll Sunday lovelies...omggg did I also mention I'm sick...lol well yes here it is. I am sick. Lol... LAST MIN. INFO...

Here's the inspiration of the day:

And...Until next time...Don't forget to keep your head up and Spread the LOVVVEEE!!!

Mitzi...where have you been in a while? Updates 1/07/14 NEW YEARSSSS

SO long time no talk...right? Lovelies I know I am so sorry and I promised to be posting every other day but you know when you say your going to be doing it tomorrow and what not...hehe that's what happened. Lots of things have changed such as the school I'm going to, the country I'm in, interests and other things lol. Hey don't blame me I'm just a girl on her way to slowly transforming to a beautiful lady.

Do you ever picture yourself in the future? Like how you would be dressing, they way you are acting, the people surrounding you, and I don't know...just like the future in general. Lately that's all I've been thinking about...but you know I've noticed something. The only way I can become the woman I picture in the future is embody who she is. By changing myself bit by bit and slowly, not all at once cause I've tried that it was utterly horrible, I don't need a repeat of history. Though why would I want to change the bubbly overly happy mitzi? I don't know why. I think its about time I started acting the way I see the lovely lady mitz is. I feel like this change is coming put and about because I'm in that middle point where I'm not a teenager but I'm not an adult either. I've been constantly searching for myself and for some reason I can't seem to find myself. Its hard with so many options and opportunities that you can see your life going towards, but when you have people constantly doubting you and saying you could be so much more its a bit hard you know?  I don't want people molding me into someone I'm trying to avoid becoming, I see my future when I go down the path they want me to go and to be honest sure I'll have everything and have a nice future, but being me I want to take the hard and unexpected way of life. At least my life will have much more meaning and I'll be happier going out into the world of the unexpected.

I don't know about you but I've always seem myself as an extraordinary person (but not in that cocky way) more in the way as I know in my life I'll accomplish something great and unexpected and my name will be remembered for a while. I don't know what it is...but I know for sure one day you'll hear my name from every person you know and think wow she was able to accomplish or make or do that. She's incredible, amazing, and so many more adjectives. Haha I'm imagining the future once again. Though I just know, one day people who know me, knew me, one day will be praising and wondering how I was able to do this and that. I look forward to the day whatever comes my way and open my mind and arms fully.

Anywayssssss updates for days. I'm actually in the Philippines right now. See I told you new country. Why? How long? Well I came here Dec 2 and I'll be here until Jan 25. The reason being is this country is my home. I see this as a place where I can be comfortable and not worry (even though lots of people think I'm gonna get kidnapped) to be honest I've been here a bit more than a week and I know how to go to the mall now and go to the park to run and loads of other places and the people stare but I mean who wouldn't stare. (hair flips) Lol not in that way. It's just if your 5'5.5 (The .5 counts), a girl, and have fairer skin than most, they tend to stare. Plus they know if you're not from their country....isn't that strange. I don't even try to speak english here, but my cousins keep insisting to communicate with me in english. CONFUSED. I might be more of a potential target to get kidnapped. Lol though I have a feeling and hope to not get kidnapped in this beautiful country. Now you may be wondering why I'm here for so long. To be honest I was supposed to be here 3 months ago. I really wish I was here 3 months ago. The freedom, the feeling of being an adult. The fact that you have a limited amount of money...lol. but I am here cause this place is home. More home than San Diego for some reason. Its the place I can be at peace and not have to be constantly nagged and so on. Maybe I'll continue school here or maybe not. We'll see. I have a college tour coming up over here that is bound to get me more interested in this country. If only I had a condo here though. I'm currently sharing a place with my cousins and I can tell you that this space is only fit for one person. Though I'm not complaining cause I'm lucky to be able to stay in their home.

Moving on I have decided to go to a community/junior college. Why? Because I wasn't very satisfied at my college. I felt as if my life was going nowhere there, so here I am venturing onward with a slight idea in mind as to what I want to accomplish in my life. This is me taking a step towards things I want in life, and not what people want me to do, and I'm happy and scared to be going through with this. I don't know what to expect. To be honest though dealing with all the paperwork and the people at the college is crap. They totally don't know what they're doing. I asked them what I would need to do and they said I was all good in completing the process then when I tried to register for my classes it said I needed to complete this other form. I'm so mad. Like now I'm stuck with bad classes. But I guess that's what I get from going to Philippines instead of finishing up what I need to do. You learn you know...

Also I've decided to do an online audition for there tv series here which is essentially the same as big brother in whatever country your in. Except here its called PINOY BIG BROTHER. Basically I just have to say why I should be in the big brother house and I have an idea as to what I would like to plan with my one minute video. Thank god I know how to edit and upload lol. But yeah. Though I am already enrolled in classes and what not I would really want to stay here a bit longer and hopefully figure out more in life what I see myself doing which is getting involved with the media and entertainment world. Though it would be nicer if it was more world wide not just in the beautiful country of the Philippines.

Anyways moving it is also New Years EVE here in PI. So I decided to list my New Years Resolution here:

1. Be happy
2. Be healthier
3. Make wiser choices
4. Count each day
5. Exercise at least for 5-10 mins a day
6. Save a bit more money
7. Have a closer relationship with my parents
8. Make more beautiful memories
9. Have an unforgettable 21st birthday (LEGAL SOON)
10. Do more charity work
11. Be more at peace with myself
12. Find out more on where I see myself going in life
13. Write at least one song
14. Be more focused and responsible in 2014.

Haha I don't know about you but this is how I do my New Years Resolutions and I usually write it down and place it by my bedroom mirror so I can see it constantly. This next coming year I hope to make more of an impact and difference in my life. I don't know why but I feel as if this next year I will really become more of an adult. Maybe its a gut feeling or maybe its just like a hoping for a bit of a more mature mitz. Though I won't change that much....hehehe. I think its time to become a bit more adult like in my decisions about life. So while I'm here about to go to church (apparently its tradition to go to church on new years eve here in PI) I'm thinking about what to pray for in the future. 

Anyways I hope you all have a splendid new year!!! I'll be posting within a weeks time haha I keep promising to post but sometimes life has few things they keep throwing at me. Sorry if you didn't enjoy this post.... But onto the inspiration of the day!!

And until next time!!! Don't forget to keep your head up and spread the lovee!! 

One direction....and a few spoilers about "This is Us"

Hello lovelies!!!

How are you feeling? I'm pretty goodishhh. Haha! So basically I'm writing this right now on my phone to see if I can blog on my phone since my mother is taking her sweet time shopping. Now you might be wondering as to why this blog post is all about one direction. Me too. 

You see I recently just watched their movie "This is Us" with my aunt cause she asked to go see it. So that is one reason I went to go see it. Now the second reason as to why I went to go see is the director is Morgan Spurlock. Now if you don't know who Morgan Spurlock he is the infamous documentary maker who tried living off McDonalds for a whole month and made a movie about it. I happened to watch it and started looking into a few more movies he made and this started my love for his documentaries and movies. So there you go 2 reasons. (Plus I really wanted to see Harry Styles get pants-ed!!) 

So I went to go see it on the day it came out but in the morning cause usually the first showing of the day at the cinema is usually the cheapest. So I spent $20 at the cinema since of course we had to go all out and get the 3d version of the movie! So $10 a pop for each of us. 

To be honest I did not really have an opinion as to what I was expecting for this movie. I thought it was going to be like the Justin Bieber "Never Say Never" movie and the Jonas Brothers' concert whatever the hell the title of their movie was. (I mean no offense to any Jonas Brothers fans out there. I personally do love Nick Jonas). 

So as I was watching the movie it gave me the sense of them being normal everyday guys who just happen to have a big time job that involves them being famous. One line in the movie that really stuck to me was when Harry Styles said "I hate the word famous/fame." And then he went into this detailed explanation about how much he hated it and the obligations and the assumptions as to what people make of them. 

Now keep in mind I love their music. It's really catchy and everything. Though at first I didn't really take a liking to them and thought Zayn Malik was the cutest out of the bunch and thought Harry Styles looked like Golum from Lord of the Rings.

Anyone see it? I think it's cause there eyes are both very round. And possibly facial structure... Now don't hate me for this. Though now I see he seems attractive, I mean he's only human. He's nowhere near Zayn lol. 

Though Zayn Malik and Harry Styles have different appeals and things about them that attract girls. I mean they both sing amazing. Wait I'm getting a bit off topic here. If you want me to post a bit more and analyze them all then post a comment.

Continuing on...the movie in itself showed a side of one direction that is a bit more goofy, real, something more humane (as in things they want in life) it made it seem that what they do is a job and they do try to have fun with it. It also peeked into how demanding their job is physically, emotionally, and mentally. 

There's a clip where there off about to sleep and it's only been about 10 minutes and someone wakes up Zayn to record for their new song, "The Best Song Ever". I mean if that was me I would've postponed it until the next day but he got up and went straight to recording. 

Within the movie it also showed a bit of their backgrounds in life, such as family time. I feel like they focused more on Harry, Zayn, and Liam's families. I wished they showed a bit more of Niall and Louis'. I feel as if they barely showed Louis' but maybe in the next movie they'll show a bit more.

Overall the "lads" were endearing, attractive, funny, a riot, and so much more. There's no wonder as to why the fan girls love them so much. After watching this movie it really helped open my eyes into the ups and downs of fame. I'm sure the guys would've loved to go to every single fan out there and say how much they love them and support them but since fan girls are fan girls I think they would've all been naked by the time they were done thanking them.

I realized that for guys out there in the showbiz world fans aren't afraid to grab and hold onto them. For girls I feel as if they are a bit more calmed down and reserved since girls are a bit more "delicate" in a sense because of the stereotypes.

All in all. I would give this movie 4 stars out of 5. And I am now a converted fan.

Though I can't picture myself being a massive fan girl, I will do my best to support them since they seem like such an awesome and laid back group. 

If you didn't enjoy this post, sorry. But onto the inspiration of the day!!

And until next time!! Remember to keep your head up and spread the love!!

The Little Things and another fabulous update!!

I think when you live your life you're a bit busy focusing on a few things that happen to surround you. Like for example, that moment of happiness that only lasts for a couple of minutes, or completing tasks that needs to get done. I don't know but for some reason, when i complete one of my assigned tasks at work I feel a sense of joy, like I feel like I have accomplished a bit of a something to help me complete my day.

To be honest I'm quite disappointed with my generation today. I feel like we all have the potential to accomplish more in life but we are just a bit too lazy to go out there and accomplish something. Take for example me. I am the epitome of laziness. I procrastinate and put everything last. I think this is why my parents are frustrated with me and feel as if they are talking to a wall. Though this sense of procrastination seems to be a huge factor in most people's lives I've decided to take a stand against it. I'm not sure as to why its been taking me so long. I'm in that state of mind where I go and wait for things to happen, just going with the flow.

I've decided to not put things off now and take action, cause in reality life is a bit too short to always be putting things off until tomorrow. Take for example my current situation. I want to redecorate my room as I see it as a bit childish and I want to vastly update it into something that is a bit more me. My room color is a two toned light pink and just a bit slightly darker pink. Where am I going with this? I want to redecorate it as the person who I am today. I've told my father about my decision to change my room and told him that I would like him to fund it and he believes that I should since I'm the one whose going to be living there. So I've decided that I would go find a job again as it seems that my summer job isn't gonna come back to me.


Another thing I've also been procrastinating is the fact that I've been really putting off finding a job cause I don't want to be busy again. Plus the fact that I wouldn't be able to drop my grandfather off at his appointments really worries me. Plus the thought that I would be busy and not have this free time to find more about what I want kind of annoys me. While I was writing this I decided to go and email my old manager to see if that position that I had was still available. So I guess I haven't procrastinated a bit.

Here's a photo of me in my old uniform:

Also a few things like my youtube channels and this blog and learning how to play the guitar makes me want to be a bit more productive in this world since our life is short and I want to be able to do all these things and be proud of my life's achievements.

Another thing is my fitness and weightloss. Since I am taking a semester off from university I thought it would be amazing if I came back hotter than ever. Haha. Imagine all of you thinking about going back to school after summer and looking hotter than ever and turning heads. All the guys at the gym will drop their jaws and be in awe. I want that kind of head turning type of thing, So I thought that I would be more productive in this upcoming month of september and be involved in a few things such as diet bet where you bet $25 to lose 4% of your bodyweight during the month of september and the ones who didn't lose 4% or more don't get their money back, but for the people who have lost 4% and more split the money between them and gain some money!!! I think its a good idea for those people like me who don't feel as motivated but feel the need to motivate each other by money wise is a good motivation technique. NO WAY am I losing my $25!!!!

Well I promised myself to start sleeping earlier and its already 2:04 am...I think I might need to start sleeping...because I am gonna go see the new one direction movie in 3D with my aunt...haha. Hey I like one direction, theres nothing bad about liking them. Well anyways...

Here's the inspiration of the day:

AHAHAHAHA JOKES!! But she is one of my inspirations in the world of the beautiful and famous.

But really here is my inspiration for the day:

And as always spread love and keep your head up!

A few things to keep me from killing myself

Lately, I've been feeling the most loneliest I have ever felt. I don't exactly know why. I think its the fact that I feel trapped and so alone in my supposed home. My family doesn't talk to me because of all their stupid reasons as to not talk to me. They are all mad and disappointed at me for numerous things. Take for example me not attending a family friends wedding. I don't know if I'm being selfish or not, but I decided not to go to this wedding because A) I do not know the person getting married very well. B) I bought and planned my vidcon tickets for a while now. C) I shouldn't be forced into going something just because out of respect that the parents of the people getting married have gone to my parties, but keep in mind not all my important life events. To be completely honest I don't think its fair as to why I am being given the silent treatment, I think things get better resolved by talking to one another instead of ignoring it all and holding everything in until you want to explode, but you know I'm completely fine. Thanks for caring.

Secondly, I think with my education and everything I decided to take a break off from university to figure out what I want most in life, cause to be completely honest, I don't want to go to university and waste my time and take random classes just because I need to take them and study something I am not completely interested in and hate my life forever. That would be the worst thing ever. I don't know where my life is going but I do know that as of right now, I want to go and explore and experience loads of new things and travel and be completely happy.

One of my other problems at home is apparently if I make a weird face its insulting and I get no say in it when they insult you and give a list of insults in front of guests. So much for being the holy one.

I'm not sure if this is the last one cause I feel as if my problems never end. My grandfather always seems to point out my weight. I don't know if this is supposed to be playful but I don't find it funny. I'm constantly battling an all out war against myself about my weight and your smart mouth decides to just point out all my flaws.

I guess lately I've been feeling a lot worthless. I don't feel important in this world or maybe the next world. But in no way am I suicidal it just feels like since I am on this journey, I still haven't found my life's purpose and it frustrates me to the point where I even question my existence. I feel as if that I'm not needed as much as I want to be needed. Life is hard and there are things that I would love to do within however long my lifetime is, that is why I am not suicidal. Though with these things I have people like you who are reading and I have youtube, and twitter, and tumblr. To be honest facebook is just a place for me to creep on. I find myself using it less and less. It's currently almost 2 am and I'm trying to upload my blindfolded makeup challenge and for some reason its taking a while to process and its really pissing me off. Like really? Does it need to process for 2 hours....

Well anyways on to the inspiration of the day!!

And as always spread love and keep your head up!

Updates on life 6/18/13

Hey lovelies!!! It's been a while since I've posted on here. I've been a bit busy with life and trying to get a job but I will for sure be here to post at least once a week, if not every other day since I like this way of letting out feelings and sharing my thoughts about life with you guys. So I've been in an up and down mood lately cause of recent events.

First off I am excited to announce that I am indeed going to vidcon this coming Aug 1-3!! I am super excited. I am going with my cousin and I hope that by that time I have some subscribers on youtube since I do have that channel. (Btw I filmed some new videos and I'm editing them and hopefully will release that out soon!!)

Secondly, I've been having a few problems at university and to be completely honest I don't even know if I belong at school. I don't like it. I'm not happy and I feel trapped and forced to go to school just for my parents. It's that asian thing. I don't want to disappoint them anymore so I force myself to go to school, but I feel like this is like high school all over again. I think as an adult I should be able to choose whether or not I can make it out there in the real world before going to school. I don't feel motivated at all and to be honest I just want to be happy in life. Is that weird? I'd rather be happy, feel loved, be content with my life, than go to college. I think if I went to a school where I was more interested in subjects then I would enjoy it more and be more motivated. Then again, I did get myself into this situation. Maybe I should tell them what I really want to do...and not lie and have them choose for me...but I'm scared cause we always end up arguing at each other and not understanding each other. I just don't want them to be disappointed in me anymore. I want us to have that normal relationship where I don't have to lie to them anymore.

Thirdly, I've been thinking about moving somewhere. I want to explore and be in charge of my own life without having to think that I am bothering anyone else. I want to be free and be an adult and make my own decisions, but how can I do that when I still live and thrive of my parents. That's why I need to work and one day I'll be somewhere else. Maybe I'll move to la and find what I want to do there. Maybe something out there is waiting for me and I'm just missing my opportunity by going to school.

Fourth on the list, is I have a job now!! Yay for summer jobs!! Yay for earning money!!! And being able to make and earn my own money. To be honest I really enjoy earning my own money, it gives me a sense of pride and responsibility and makes me love that I don't have to rely on my parents for money in the summer. It's an amazing feeling to know that your being paid for your hard work and what not.

Lastly, I've been trying to be healthier cause I want to look sexy when I go to vid con!! I want to meet my favorite youtubers and them to be like damn...you hot!! Haha. SO I've been working out loads lately by following the blogilates june month of fitness, though I do work out twice a day. It gets really tiring though. Though I need to put myself in a strict diet cause I basically eat everything I want in life and its just whatever. I need to start being more serious. I have cheat days which is basically a whole weekend. I want to live a healthier lifestyle and I have vowed to not buy clothes untilI lose 20 lbs and notice a difference.

So theres my post for today. I will post another post in a bit because it is late and I do have work tomorrow.

Here's my inspiration of the day:

Until then... spread love and keep your head up!!
