COTton TEXtile (Kotex)
As you all know, the Sanga tends to drag me everywhere she goes and just bribes me with promises of food. The Kotex blogger event was no exception. She figured "Hey she's (kind of) a blogger and there's food!" equates to "You're going. No excuses". After all, lezzies menstruate too.
Being a part of the Kotex event, I owe it to them to broadcast what I loved about their product to all my avid readers... All 6 of them + me. I read my blog too. Plus I deem it important to know that I suspect the rice was cooked with chicken stock instead of the regular water. But enough of that. I'm supposed to be blogging about Kotex.
So there I was. Smack in the middle of the most girliest people you can imagine. Gasp! The Horror! Right? ...... Meh. I admit. I like their company. Yes, they were still overproducing estrogen and still talked about shoes but they make the world a much more beautiful place.
My mind absorbs non-sense things like where the most expensive coffee came from (Cat poop!! We have our own version - motit coffee in the Cordillera and kape alamid in Tagalog areas). I'm not a geek. Really.
So I'd like to bore you with what I read (years ago. somewhere. written on some paper. not sure if it's 100% accurate) about the beginnings of Kotex. It's interesting to know that they were first manufactured as bandages during the World War I. They developed an absorbent wadding from wood that was about 5x more absorbent than cotton and called dubbed it Cellucotton. I thought it was pretty cool. They even supplied it to the war department at cost and refused to make a healthy profit from it. Who does that? It says a lot about their company, eh?
When the war ended, taa daaaa!! No more reusing of cloth rags!
Sidenote : Can you imagine soldiers (with huge manly guns, scars and cigars) charging into war with feminine pads stuck to their foreheads? Ha! Of course, they weren't shaped like the pads we use but can you imagine them with Indie Chic pads? Legendary!
WOW (Why Only White?). Their new product is just lovely. I actually considered filling a frame with those pads. We're probably going to use them now that Sanga is already in love with them. Pssshh.. Girls. Well, it's still as absorbent (if not more) as it was in the battle fields. I actually can't feel any wetness while wearing it. And it's definitely comfortable. I didn't feel like there was something stuck down there.
I conclude that I must be a magnet. Before, during and after the presentation, cameras magically flew onto my shoulders. The girls took pictures in every corner of that damned place. Every angle. Every possibility. I may whine a lot about Sanga dragging me into stuff like these but in reality, I really just like being with her. Ew. Cheese.
on events and such
As usual, the Great Pax of the Fashion World is busy. That means I'm busy as well.
And yes, the rumor is true. All I ever did during the Metro wedding thing was hunt the food people. When they didn't stop by me anymore, I stalked them until they gave up and just handed me whatever I wanted.
You should know that no one comes between me and my smoked salmon stacked on mini mini awesome pancakes with fish eggs. And my tuna rolled in sesame seeds. And my lamb sandwich. And my pork pie. And my panceta with cottage cheese. And my bacon tomato mini tarts. And my peperoni pizza. And my vanilla caramel ice cream. I'm still dreaming of that smoked salmon. Hmmm.. Slurp.
Sanga didn't want to mess up her makeup so I just ate her share. The caterers didn't believe me when I told them I'm eating for two (not in a pregnant kind of sense - what were they thinking?). What's up with that? I was being totally honest.
Rachel Alejandro. She was a singer right? I think I had some sort of childhood crush on her.
I'm starting to like events despite having to take a million photos of the same pose but with different widths in terms of smile and face angles. Just feed me. Heck, I even went to a super duper girly event yesterday! I should probably write something decent for Kotex. It's the least I can do. Plus I met some really cool people there.
Cge. Next post!

yowza!
I have boobs of steel. Or eagle eyes. I'm getting pretty good at this counter snipe game I've been recently addicted to. I've been getting lots of practice since The Great Pax is usually still asleep as I arrive. Just something to pass time.
It's pretty fun but kinda stressful to the eyes. You have to find the targets. Sometimes only the heads are showing. That is so wrong, man! So wrong. And they're only like small dots on the screen.
See? Just added the red arrow. It's point to the head of your target. And the map is HUGE. There are 3 more buildings right beside this gray one. You have to pan left and right. Up and down. A B A B. Select start.
Not only do you have to find the target, you also have to shoot it while the gun is "swaying" around. I find that cursing the mouse does not help. You have to summon all your patience. Mind fuck it. Find your inner "rhythm". And then click. Insane. Just insane! I tell ya!
But, oh how I love a good challenge.
Yep. That's me. Waving the Philippine Flag on Second place (24,300 - sniped 80 guys, all headshots with 95% accuracy --- once again, Boobs Of Steel). If PNoy sees this, he'll definitely give me a medal or something. But I'll settle for a house and lot. The guy in first place has 25,100 points. But the 3rd guy only has 8k points. Talk about eating our dusts (for the day)!
Anyway, The Great Pax better wake up soon or else I'm going to need some sort of intervention. On the other hand, my peripheral vision is just awesome now.
Post Scriptum :
Hoy Isabel. You're right. My eyes were rolling as I read your post about "saving". Di nga? Totoo? Weh. Weh?

o.0
My boss is going to kill me. I can't stop staring at my wrist.
No, I don't have some sick wrist fetish nor do I have suicidal tendencies.
I just like staring at what is on my wrist. It's so purrrddyyy.. :p~~ (tulo-laway or 2 baby snakes entering your mouth -- which ever way you look at it)
This isn't really my watch but it looks just like it.. But my watch is 100x more purdier. And a lot more "clean" looking. Classy, eh? Just the way I like it. It's so purdy that I even caught a few guys looking at it. I'm a proud momma. I'm going to have to post a picture of it soon.
It is Sanga's gift. For what? I have no idea. My birthday is 2 months away and I did not do anything worthy of it (like saving the world or doing the laundry... waaiittt.. She doesn't expect me to do the laundry after this right? -_- )
Pa sweet ang Sanga. Heeee.. But what I treasured more were the words scribbled on the card she gave me. Akalain mo?
Plus she cooked for me before coming to work. This is amazing. Just so you know, she hates cooking. I do the cooking 99.99% of the time.
Absolutely mind boggling. There must be something on the internet to explain such behavior.
Hmm.. I think she might be in love with me.

Holy shit. She posted a link of my blog on her blog. I'm going to have to get her for that as soon as I'm home.
