Happy Ramblings

Hello, hello! The prodigal blogger is back! I really have no great excuse for disappearing, yet again, for the nth time! I was just not eager enough to find time and blog. One of the things that I did while I wasn't blogging was to eat everything I wanted. And that would explain the gain weight! Haha! I'm TRYING to lose weight but it's just soooo difficult to say no to yummy food!  It is the holiday season already and there would be a lot of events. Aside from the #1 'I have nothing to wear.' problem, one of the hashtag GIRLPROBLEMS is how to make sure your to keep the face look decent all throughout the event! For oily people who happen to live in Manila like me, that is a REAL challenge. I've been researching and looking for the best and cheapest option there is and luckily, I feel like I already found the solution! This is kind of like a SanSan HD Liquid foundation Review, but not really, 'coz I don't really know how to write reviews. Lol. ...

Hello, hello! Hello August, hello everyone and hello there, blog! I'm not supposed to blog right now because I have this deadline to meet, but wth, I feel like blogging and I cannot let this pass! The reason why I'm blogging is because I read Shayne's comment just now regarding the Liebster Award. I've been awarded with this before but I did not do it. I can be a lazy blogger like that. I really want to update my blog so I'm giving it a shot. Keyti gave me the same award last month,  so I'm going to have two sets of questions! YAY! Sorry girls for the delay! But here I am now! Thank youu! Questions from Keyti: 1 . Do you have pets? I don't have any. The last pet that my family had was when I was still in highschool, I think. It was a dog. 2. If you were to choose between clothes and makeup, what will you choose? I'll choose clothes! 3. What is collection do you have? I have books, notebooks and cute trinkets. 4. Any favorite makeup...

Can I tell you a secret? I secretly want an iPhone only because of its cute phone cases! lol. Yes, that's the only reason why I want the ever so famous phone! My phone, which I love so much, is a Samsung Galaxy SII. I've had my phone since October 2011 and I can't tell you how much I love it. Even though it almost gave up on me for three times already , I've fought for our love affair! :))  So anyway, back to those cute iphone cases. As I was saying, I love the cases that are available for iPhones and that's the only reason why I want it! The designs, the prints are always so cute! I feel bad that when it comes to Galaxy SII, the cases are so limited! I have an ITOUCH (4thGen) and IPAD Mini but the cases aren't as pretty and as many as those of IPHONE's. Now why am I telling you this? Well, I'm just so happy that I am so not going to get envious of those pretty iPhone Cases anymore! Why would I be envious when I can make my own pretty case m...

Well, honestly, I don't do this routine everyday! Haha! Let's just say that this is what I do whenever I go out and I have the time to put on make up. I don't know about you girls, but it takes forever for me to get ready. I am so glad that I had my hair treated because it surely saved me a lot of time. If I have to leave my house at 10 in the morning, I should wake up at 7 in the morning. Three hours to convince myself that I need to get up already, attend to morning washroom routine, eat breakfast, check my social networking sites, reply to inquiries at Bubblish Shop, take a bath, let my hair dry, put my make up on, dress up and finally double check my stuff that I should bring out. You might think that three hours is a long time, but there's a lot that I also need to attend to in between. And of course, I'm no expert in putting on make up. It takes me quite a while to finish my face.  Here are the stuff that I use for my (not so)  everyday look. ...

When I saw this car parked outside the church, I didn't pay that much attention to it. I've witnessed a lot of weddings at The San Agustin Church already. I had no plans of staying and wait for the wedding to finish. Original plan was to just say a little prayer inside and leave. But when I get inside, I learned that it was a celebration of a fruitful fifty years of marriage! Wonderful, isn't it? So I decided to stay and wait for the couple. San Agustin Church is just too grand! It doesn't even need that much flowers or decorations. Being the sucker for love stories that I am, I made sure to take photos of the couple and I really wanted to see the love and happiness in their faces. This little girl has a really cute and sweet face! I took many photos of her and this one's my favorite because she looked at the camera. Her smile is just too sweet. And look at those pink nails! She is soooo cute! :) She looks lovely and radiant! Fifty years...

I think it's pretty obvious that I love girly and cute stuff so it's safe to say that it wouldn't surprise you that my favorite FAVORITE color is pink . There are people who change their favorite color when they  grow up or grow more mature but, that's not the case with me. I don't remember changing my favorite color. Yes aside from pink, there are colors that I love more than the others but no color will ever top pink!  I have a LOT of pink stuff. Pink shoes, pink clothes, pink accessories, pink camera , pink everything! And I am just so SO happy that as of today the PINK family grew by two stuff and I know that it will continuously grow as time passes by! YAY!  Welcome to the PINK family you two!   CHARLES & KEITH FOLDING SUNGLASSES When I first saw this at Charles & Keith, I wanted to buy it at that very moment. I was not able to buy it the first time we met and I am just so glad that finally, I have it already! It's so pretty and ...

I met some of my really good friends online. One of them is Jay.  We met 7 or 8 years ago on this online forum. When I first signed up on that website, all I wanted was to get more updates from this reality show that I was so addicted to. Heehee. So I started visiting the online forum more often than I intended to, I started having random chitchats with a lot of people online. It was so much fun and so addicting! Me and Jay at Vanilla Cupcake Bakery - Trinoma When I first got to  encounter Jay online, I thought that he was intimidating. Lol. I don't remember talking to him as much as I talked with our other online friends. It all changed when I got to know him in person and we all started hanging out together. We used to hang out almost every weekend and we used to take soooo much photos. I think 3-5 of us would bring digital cameras and each one would have at least 200 photos! Oh, fun times! It's sad that I don't get to see all of them anymore. I miss those ti...

Wow. It feels like every time I start an entry, I feel like I need to apologize for being MIA (like, always!) and for not being able to return comments or visit your sites! My internet connection is so frustrating. There were times when I'd be so eager to write, the things that I wanted to blog were overflowing but my internet wouldn't cooperate. I was actually supposed to post this blog entry last night, but aaaaas usual, internet connection was acting up all night.  So, back to what I wanted to blog. I think I blogged about my hair a couple of times already. And just an update, I finally had the time and courage to chop off my hair! The tips of my hair is so damaged so I had no choice but to have it shortened. I also had my hair treatment and finally, my hair color had been retouched! Woohoo!  So here's my before the hair make over photo. This was actually taken few weeks ago at my grandfather's house. And this is me now with my (not really) new h...

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...
