Happy Ramblings

This place is probably one of the most raved about restaurants in Tagaytay. I think it was 3 years ago when I first rad about Marcia Adams'. I haven't been to Tuscany, but I remember watching Under The Tuscan Sun and this restaurant, even by just looking at the photos, gave me that Tuscan feelzz. lol. What a blooper, I thought this door would lead us to the little Tuscany, but no. Good thing there were vegetable and pasalubong vendors who led us the right way. To be honest, I was not too excited about the food, I know that their menu has very limited options. I was more excited to finally see the place, in the flesh! The place was worth the wait. My kind of restaurant, my kind of place.   I wonder when did they start growing the plants there!   Who cares about the food when you've got this view while eating? That white house right in the middle of the field looks so lonely and pretty at the same time! From where I was sitting. The sunset set,...

Tagaytay is really one of my favorite places outside Metro Manila. It's very accessible, it's very beautiful, lots of good food and really nice weather! And on my latest visit to Tagaytay, I  finally went to Sky Ranch! I'm not really a fan of amusement parks. If you ask me where I would like to go to relax and have fun, amusement park is not going to be one of my answers. And it's because I find it tiring and I don't usually get the most of what I pay for whenever we go to Enchanted Kingdom or Star City. In short, takot ako sa mga rides! HAHA Pero since Sky Ranch is different naman, I  looked forward to getting there. But of course, I only had one ride in mind. The Sky Eye.  It's even more beautiful in person and up close. I would always see it in photos and from inside a car, and it felt soooo good to finally see it in the flesh!  It's a good thing that there weren't too many people when we went there. The view on top definitely di...

Hi, hi! The reason why I haven't been posting (again!) is because I still cant manage my time. It's been more or less 6 months since I started working full time again, and to be honest, I am still not used to it. With the job, I'm all good, but with managing my time after work hours, that is where I am having problems with. Why did I start my blog blabbing about my lack of time management skills? Haha! This is so not what I wanted to blog. Soooo, just like what the title says, this blog is bout my make up when I go to work. Stop. Go and blog about make up! I'm not really experimental with make up. I mean, I already mentioned the lack of time management, and since I am no pro, it will take me so much time to try and experiment with new look for work. My work make up is usually just neutral eyeshadow, brow, liner, blush and lipstick! Sorry, blog friends, I was not able to clean the babies before I took the photo. I couldn't wait any longer because I ha...

This blog entry is a long overdue one. It has been three months and I really feel like that there is a need to blog about this. The restaurant is just too blog worthy! Everything inside that place is so pretty, my kind of restaurant - really! To say that I was amazed is an understatement. Haaay. Blogging about it makes me want to go back and take more pictures! This was not the restaurant that I wanted to eat at for our last meal in Puerto Princesa; but then I saw the 'Pasta' signage and I knew that we needed to eat here. So glad that I had that last minute change of plan.   My jaw literally dropped when I entered the restaurant! It's soooo pretty! It was a good thing that there were only few people when we ate there. I had the freedom to take photos. I couldn't help it because it felt like the restaurant was made for me!  I don't think I'll ever stop saying how pretty the restaurant is. It feels very homey and everyone was friendly and accommodating. ...

Ever since I changed my preference from lipgloss to liptsick, I always get the matte ones. Covergirl's Heavenly Paradisque is the only non-matte lipstick that I truly love! I still have it and still use it when I'm in the mood for a pink glossy looking lipstick. But for the rest of my collection, it's all matte baby! Well, then there came this new baby love! MAC Rebel looks a wee bit too dark when you look at it, but hush hush and don't get too intimidated. It will look absolutely pretty when you wear it After years of sticking to MAC Mattes, I finally found a satin lipstick that I truly, truly adore! MAC Rebel is just so pretty on the lips. It is perfect when you're running out of time to get your make up done and you do not want to look so plain. I've been hearing (reading) about Rebel for the longest time and when I was finally able to get my hands on it, I immediately understood what the hype is all about. The purplish-pink color is perfe...

Woah! Time flies so fast! It will be June in few days and you know what that means? Almost half of the year had already passed! And aside from that, it also means that my birthday is coming! I'm not really into celebrating my birthday, so no plans. HAHA. I just mentioned it because what I'm gonna blog is birthday-related.. :P Wonder what it is? Well, I received early birthday pressies from my Aunt! Good thing I stopped myself from buying make up because she sent me some. ;) I haven't tried them all yet so I can't tell you much about 'em. If you happen to try any of them already, don't forget to let me know about it on the comments section.  Clinique Mega Melon Chubby Stick Out of all the stuff that I got, this moisturizing lip color balm caught my attention and made me so giddy. This is my second one, the first that I've tried was Woppin' Watermelon. I did not finish the whole balm because I gave it away. Well, this time, I am going to make s...

Let's admit it, one of the reasons why a girl loses self confidence is because she doesn't like what she's seeing whenever she faces the mirror. There are so many feel good aphorisms about loving yourself no matter what, but sometimes, those just don't work.  Sometimes, what a girl see in the mirror overpowers even the most beautiful and inspiring quote there is.  If that isn't the case for you, then lucky you!  As for me, the more weight I gained, the more confidence I lost. One of the reasons why I haven't been blogging and why I haven't really going out with some of my friends is because I gained weight. I gained weight and I don't feel confident about my body anymore. I don't like my friends to see how much weight I've gained! I mean, whenever I ran out of stuff to blog, I resort to posting an #OOTD entry, but I can't do that anymore. I don't get to wear some of my favorite dresses now and I was not able to wear two-piece bikini ...
