Missing the MacBook

Monday, December 29th, 2008

It has been months since my last sensible blog.  Many factors can be attributed to this decline.  For one, my day job has eaten my spirits away- with all the work load and Christmas prep, I have only little time left to do other things.  Another very painful occurance is the bugging down of the Apple MacBook Pro that I so so love.  I woke up one day and it refused to start-up.  I was confident that my techie spouse could whip up his computer wizardry and make it work but alas, it was not as simple as that.  (more…)

Long wearing Blush

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Make-up is not really my thing.  Actually, it took me a long time before finally accepting the fact that I need to look good every time I go to work.  For the past years, I have grown to love the process of putting make-up on my face.  Because of my fear of allergies and blemishes, I sought to purchase only the best brands in the market.  For today, let me talk about blush-ons.

Friendster or Facebook?

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I have been a Friendster member for quite a long time now, probably about 3 years already. I am quite picky when it comes to approving friend requests- I make sure that I really know the person prior to my approval. Maybe that explains why I have only about 150 friends. Some people kind of get the impression that it is all about quantity. Well, it is different for me. I want to make sure that the people who can view my profile are really my friends. (more…)

Snow World at Star City

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Last Sunday, me and my family went to manila to visit the much-talked about new attraction in Star City, the Snow World.  We saw it on TV and so we set out to witness it ourselves.  Since we are based in Angeles, we left really early, like 7am, because we wanted to avoid the long lines.  We’ve been to Star City before and we knew how long the queues can be.  We arrived by 11 am, only to find out that the place was still closed and opening time was 2pm. We decided to kill time in MOA and have our lunch there (which is a practical idea considering how expensive the food is inside Star City).  We would have wanted to leave after lunch but there was a sudden downpour which prompted us to stay in the mall some more… then finally, we headed right back to Star City.

My simple beauty regimen

Girl talk time…

I am one of those fortunate girls who are rarely plagued by pimples and blemishes… One day in a supermarket, a girl approached me and asked “What do you put on your face?” and I simply said “Hmm… safeguard?”.  Safeguard is an ordinary soap used by many Filipino families.  At that time, I was not at all particular about stuff that I apply on my body.  I just wanted to be clean.  Then, after a while, aging is beginning to step in.  At 30, I believe it’s high time for me to start using an effective product to counter the effects of aging.  And so, I opted for a facial cream that is highly recommended by my friends- Olay Total Effects.

My Manga

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

I did not post any of my photos yet but for you to have an idea of how I look like in person- here is my manga…

What is manga? Manga is the japanese word for comics.  Actually I just saw this in lopau’s blogsite… Like what he said, you can make your own in faceyourmanga.com.
