My mind’s playing with me…and it’s bad. Funny how the universe can influence the way you think/act. Haaay.

Here we go again… Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from May 27 to June 19, 2008. Then from September 24 to October 15, 2008 and then from January 11, 2009 to February 1, 2009.

Mercury rules over the mind’s processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well.

The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more their own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges.

One solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn’t performed right the first time.

Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about the influence of this period, but the others aren’t aware of it or there may be uncontrollable events. That’s why you should have more diligence with the others and give them some more time. It’ll be your mental health that you’ll be sparing actually. Source

While people speak of Mercury Retrograde, periods that screw up computers and television sets, today’s astrologers believe the mishaps happen in more personal realms (Uranus is the planet that rules television and computers). Mercury rules communication, but more informal communications, like writing, speaking, short shopping sprees and other erranding endeavors.

So, while Mercury is Retrograde, don’t give that party, be extra aware of what you say and what you interpret when chatting with or writing to friends, cut back on errands, expect that the check will be in the mail longer than usual.

Since the car is usually used for shopping and errands, don’t be surprised if the battery wire loosens or the fan belt snaps just when you have rush out for that one ingredient you forgot to buy.

The good things to do when Mercury is Retrograde: meditate, contemplate, edit the book/poem/song/essay you’ve been writing, clean house, talk to your pet, listen to music, paint, catch up on sleep! Source

Project Runway Philippines ep. 3

“It’s better to be loved!” Lord Maturan, eliminated Aug. 13.

Nakakalungkot naman na-eliminate si Lord! :( Lalong nakaka-lungkot kasi mukha syang mabait, tignan mo naman sinabi nya, humble pa rin sya. (atsaka mukhang mas-may talent sya kaysa kay Eli hmp! di ko naman sinasabi na alam ko ang background nila sa fashion industry…wala lang, lagi kasi nagrereklamo si Eli sa mga kasamahan nya hehe)

Naalala ko tuloy si Natasha from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 8. Kahit 1st runner up lang sya at kahit iba trato sa kanya ng mga kasama nya (pinagti-tsismisan sya, etc.) optimistic pa rin sya kagaya ni Lord.

Sana ganun din ako, di nauubusan ng positive vibes :)

P.S. badinggerzie ba si Jaz? hihihi

Batman can be so chica pala

I’m so loving this tee from Urban Outfitters:

Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I found the yellow one with smaller and somewhat faded logos…If I remember correctly, I found that on topshop’s website but they remove items when they’re out of stock. :(

I guess it’s suited for someone else like Junnette since she loves the movie so much. I know! I’d buy one for my sister’s birthday this September (sana makita ko sa topshop), then I’d get myself this bat girl tee. Oh, I can’t remember the last time I bought Trish a birthday present haha! >:)
