From I to Y.

It's December and I have decided that it's time to resurrect my blog from the dead!  Ha! But yeah, seriously, I am very motivated to update my blog on a weekly basis for starter! I know I have said this a million times, but I feel like this time, I can stay committed to this! I found my drive when I saw how one of my favorite and most real bloggers have went back to blogging. And it kind of reminded me how it all used to be!

So I tried thinking why I had lost my drive to blog. At first, I blamed it all on me gaining so much weight and being unable to post photos of me because I feel like I look big and ridiculous. Well, to be quite honest, I still feel so big, even bigger and most of the time I still feel ridiculous. But that is a different issue that I have but defo not the reason why I am no longer into blogging.

I now know that the reason why despite me, posting few months back, I could not commit to it is because I was posting entries to impress others. I mean, I used to post an entry because that is how I felt like doing, because I wanted to make sure that there is something that I can look back to, because I simply love blogging! But it all changed! I felt pressured because left and right there are these fashion, make up and lifestyle bloggers who are doing so well.  Don't get me wrong, I love readong all kinds of blogs, it's just that, I felt like the need to do what they're doing as well. I felt like I had to follow the trend.

Trend. And that it where I got it all wrong! These people who are doing so good in blogging are so GOOD and consistent not because they follow the latest trends but because they are passionate about what they write about! And I should just do the same,right? I do not have to write or blog because I want to impress others and be on the trend. I should go back and start blogging to express my thoughts and share some stuff about my life!

And  of course, having readers is a bonus, but that I should not make it the sole reason for blogging! So yes, my neglected blog, I am back and I will make sure not to give up on blogging again!

Oh, and yeah. I changed my url from ishmoi to yshmoi. :P

Hair Matters

When it comes to my hair, I always play safe. Hair check! Last time I had my hair really short? Hmmm, when I was in elementary school! I think I was in second grade? I don't remember if it was my grandmother or my mother who decided that I should have my hair cut short. I was just a little kid so I had no choice but to oblige. I obviously did not like how it turned out. It was actually because of that experience that I don't ever want to make a dramatic change to my hair. I remember how some of my classmates made a not so good comment with my then new haircut. THE hair can actually make you (feel) really ugly or pretty. So hair matters, right? RIGHT??? See, it's always in (almost) the same length. Straight. The only difference I actually make is the fringe. I either have it pulled back, full, side swept or none at all! And my face is asymmetrical (plus big) so yeah. I really don't have that much choice. I don't have the face which is flattering to short h

Lights. Pretty lights. Oh Christmas Tree! Why so taaalllll?? I started my December right by meeting up with my best friends at the Mall of Asia last December 1! We didn't take much photos because we got so excited catching up. We did not see each other for some time, so when we finally met up that day, kwento galore!  My Bestfriend, Jessica. I love how vain my bestfriend is! We really are best of friends hahaha! I used to be more vain than her, but as of the moment, I think she's more vain than I am! :)) And this is me, of course Top: Oxygen || Pants: Paper Scissors || Wedges:  Payless || Bag: Guess We were with Ymel, our other bestfriend, too but she's pregnant and she didn't want to have her photo taken because she thinks she's too fat. Well she gained weight because she's pregnant! Can't wait to meet Baby Zoey!!

Lips Are Sealed

Lately, I have been playing with the make up that I have. And also, I've been watching make up gurus once again. I started watching make up tutorials when Michelle Phan was just starting to get famous. You know, when she used to film in her room and with her then signature background music and very calm voice. I still love her, it's just that, since I went back watching make up tutorials few months back, I noticed how she changed! In a good way, of course. I am so happy for her! Anyway, enough of Michelle and back to me and my make up. lol. I do not have so much, but I think I have a lot for someone who claims that she's not into make up! Especially lipsticks. So the main reason why I went back to watching Michelle Phan and started watching other gurus is because of the stuff that my Aunt gave me.  I do not want to put those make up into waste, so I thought, why not give it a try! Ha! I started to really use make up in college, but it had to be minimal or else, Siste
