Happy Ramblings

I have so many backlogs and I do not know when and howto write and post all of it! I was just so busy last month. A lot of things happened, I do not where to start or if I should post it here. Well, I better not. It'd be too dramatic, so no thank you.  So anyway, I already posted our first day in Baguio . I was thinking of not posting the rest of our trip up north but, apparently, I changed my mind! It's always a good thing to back read blog entries from years back, so I want to blog it! And just like any other trip blog entries, I will be bombarding you guys with photos! I decided to collage the photos. Believe me,  I did my best to post littlest amount of photos as possible! Let's start! Our second day in Baguio was spent seeing some of the famous tourist spots in Baguio. We went to see the Philippine Military Academy, passed by Camp John Hay, Mines View Park, Strawberry Farm and the Chinese Temple & Bell Church! PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY To welco...

One of my biggest frustrations is my skin. I have a bad skin. Lol. I mean, I have oily skin, my skin is prone to pimples, I am acidic and to top it all, I have big pores! And yes, I am living in a tropical country with nasty pollution and unbearable heat, so ugh. You can just imagine how I always struggle to keep a decent face on. LOL. I have heard/ read about Benefit Porefessional but I am not willing to shell out 1K+ for small tube. I've been on the look for a pore minimizer/eraser and I am so happy that Maybelline has one now!  WHAT IT CLAIMS: ♥ Poreless smooth skin ♥ Lightweight & breathable ♥ Instantly erase pores, imperfections, lines and creases ♥ Skin is shine free, even and baby smooth WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT: ♥ PACKAGING - I love, love the packaging! I love that it's in a tube and easily squeezable! The translucent gel comes out easily and you can really control the amount that comes out of the tube. Plus, it's pink and green, so just t...

Hey everyone! I am sorry for not being able to visit your blogs. I just got back from a short trip with my family. I love the cold weather in Baguio, but really, I love going to the beach more! Okay, I don't think it's right to complain. :P So anyway, just like any other vacation blog entries, I'm going to bombard you with photos! Here we go.  First things first. We left Manila last Friday and we checked in at Recedencia Alekzandra . It's decent transient home with two rooms (5 beds) and a bathroom. The kitchen has the cooking utensils that you might need if you want to cook. What I love about this transient home is that it's kind of country inspired. Plus, all rooms has a 'balcony view'/ Lol.  And here's the view at our 'balcony' :P  Here's how it looks inside. Nothing fancy, really. And... That's my father. We took a nap first before exploring the city of pines!  Oh, wait. I did not take a nap. I curled my hair!  ...

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...

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...
