"Ellen is a Medieval English form of Helen. Helen originates in Greek language and means "torch of light". In Greek mythology, Helen is a famous figure, known as Helen of Troy. She was a daughter of Zeus, described as a beautiful woman. Her abduction by Paris triggered off a series of events which finally ended in the Trojan War. In Christianity, Saint Helena is the one who found the relics of the True Cross upon which Jesus was crucified. Throughout centuries, Helen has been one of the most popular feminine given names."

Annyeong!I go by the name of Ellen Marie (엘렌). Im a Filipina, born and raised in the Philippines. Im currently living and working in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Im a crazy kpop-fanatic, Blackjack and VIP (according to my brother) and im kind of obsessed with G-Dragon.

Today, my unnie, her friend and i went to the mall to buy optical mouse para sa desktop. I was also planning to buy havaianas but my unnie insisted i should buy ipanema instead. However, i did not find anything nice sa designs nila so i didn't buy na lang.

Then while we were on the way to CDR king, we passed by the cellphone boutique which sells samsung corby. Instead of looking at the corby phones, my eyes caught the displayed LG crystal instead, yeah, the one Big Bang is advertising. I was so amazed at how cool it looks but infortunately, when i asked the sales lady how much it cost, my jaw dropped----27,000php. "FORREAL??!!!", i wanted to asked that but i controlled myself. The price was almost the same with my midterm tuition fee. I even joked at my unnie and her friend na di na lang ako mag e-exam para makabili ako nung. Aigoo..

I was depressed after that, so i decided we went to the parlor to get my stupid looking hair trimmed. And well, i also learned that they do nail arts there so i tried it.
