coffee break

crazy month of june. all of a sudden, my traffic have tripled. i honestly don’t know why. bluehost’s reports have showed tremendous surge in traffic last month. someone’s been stealing bandwidth from me. them freaking freeloaders! i’m actually ok with the idea of hosting images, documents, mp3s as long as you ask permission. what’s an email asking me if they could ‘borrow’ my stock pile of useless info?

i averaged 2gb a day. that’s a whole season of big bang theory and some extra bits. most of these ‘requests’ came from the country who think they are so great and feels entitled to all thing. including my useless crap. hey you! no more freeloading. no more stealing. get your own. or have the decency to at least ask first.

i need to figure out a customizable leeching protection algorithm (brain freeze) to keep strays away from my site. if only wordpress is written in java. life would be so much easier.

finally, new shoes!

this is my first pair, make that 2, of slip-ons. i find slip-ons a tad bit generic; i have an aversion to this kind of footwear. maybe it started when i was young, our house helps use to buy advan slip-ons that it stuck to my mind, NO SLIP-ONS. even the trendy ones with cool graphic patterns doesn’t appeal to me. but this pair by happy feet caught my eye, for obvious reasons. the one at the left side is in muted orange, perfect with my bunch of black and dark jeans. the yellow one is really an eye catcher, a bright canary. goes well with everything.

muted colors are perfect for men who wants to wear colors but is not that confident enough or dunno if they can get a way with it. this color hue is soft to the eye even in shade of outrageous colors (plum, cerulean, turquoise). a splash of color does magic to your outfit yet not attention grabbing nor a cause for sore eyes. color is your friend; knowing you basics witch palettes, matching, as well as contrasting, complimenting and clashing colors with breathe a new life to your style as well as your closet. bright colors usually draws attention so it should be worn with neutral or dark palettes; let the shoes stand on its own. a common misconception is that shoes should match your belt (for men) and bag (for women). news flash! it should compliment; matching is so 80’s. today’s fashion is about contrast, to standout without falling flat to fashion. my personal style is that contrast is basic, abundance of color and style. but not too much as if rainbow brite threw up on you.

here are some personal styling must that i can share to you.

1. don’t be afraid of colors, color is your friend. know your friend and foe, what colors works for you and your closet.
2. fit is key. know your body and how to hide your flaws and accent your features. experiment with different fits from skinny to voluminous, matching between these 2.
3. keep your closet in check, have your essentials first. basic black dress pants, white crisp shirt, decent black leather shoes and belt to match is a must. grow from there.
4. accessorize. accessories is not limited to necklaces, obi belts, earrings. a good hat, several belts in different basic colors, watch, shoes, eye glasses/shades, bags will give your outfit a fresh breath of air. scarf, and i repeat-scarf, should be worn in cold weathers not in the blistering manila heat.
5. there are no rules in fashion! as long as you feel good and it compliments your style, wear it. though i should warn you that there are a lot of eyes watching you.

onwards for fashion. shop, wear, pose, accessorize. repeat after me, there is no recession.

so i lost another xperia yet again. just over 2 months and i lost this phone that i love so much. i have to say that it’s my fault. i trust on people too much. you see, after my workout last saturday, i felt woozy so i decided to sleep at the spa. i have good rapport with the spa staff (at least the old ones) that i feel very comfortable. so i slept at the receiving area. goose feather pillows and thai silk made me sleep for 40 minutes. was quite sure that i have my phone with me because i was checking my calendar for a spa appointment. when i woke up, padded the day bed for my stuff and all i got was my locker key. i thought that my phone was in my locker but alas, it wasn’t there. after a couple of minutes i realized that i was using my phone at the spa, texting people.

i have a pretty good idea who took it, and she is one of the new attendants. stupid girl used my sim card. i tried calling my number again after a while and it rang. her flatmates answered and gave all the information i needed… now i need to confront the bitch. honestly, i’m not really optimistic about getting back my phone. but this bitch will pay..

been unlucky with the xperia, loosing 2 in matter of 6 months, so i got me  different phone. almost the same  thing, same feature. email is a big deal for me as i work while commuting, at the gym, at the cinema, pretty much anywhere. so i bought this…

the nokia n97. hopefully this one would last me at least a year. but i got the black one. i still think that xperia is way prettier. here’s to changing my luck with phones.

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally , the guys’ side of the story.

We always hear " the Rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note, these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports, It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes or no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done.
Not both. And if you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing" we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1.. If you ask a question that you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer that you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really .
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football, Golf, and Fishing!
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.
