nyx round lipsticks

i finally had time to write my long over due review of my nyx round lipsticks. been busy with my socials the past days, sorry. :P

as i've posted on my last blog entry, i've purchased some make-up products from Le Faerie Cosmetics. a 78 eye palette combo and 2 nyx round lipsticks.

i will be doing my review on nyx lipsticks today since i haven't tried my eye palettes yet. --can someone give me an eye shadow brush for christmas? :DD

here they are! :)

side by side

snow white

doll

i've been using my nyx doll more often than my snow white. well, for obvious reasons, it's more day to day than the red one. but i love them both. :)

how's its texture? i love how thin it feels on my lips. at most times, i'm not aware i have it on. very wearable.
is it long lasting? well, it is the same for most lipsticks i guess. though i commend how the stain remains on your lips even after dinner. you can just do a little retouch and you're good to go. :)
color? well, no regrets on it! loving it both. :)
cost? very reasonable for me at Php 200 each. --i'm not familiar on how much nyx costs on  other sites or on stores though. but i say, this is a good deal. --right? XD

will i buy again? i'm actually considering purchase on different shades, hihi. --after i've done justice on the ones i have first, bwahaha. XD

i've taken time into showing you how it looks like on my lips. apologies for the noob edit and crappy reso. did it on paint. --the only way i know how to do pictures. :))

shot was taken from my s95 cam in auto one afternoon. hihi.

doll

this shade is working for me. it's close to my natural lip color so i can wear it daily. note: i'm not an everyday-make-up woman.

snow white

ok, the picture did not bring it justice. i don't know why. but it's hard for me to capture it in its actual shade. effects of the afternoon sun, maybe? i'll try to take a photo of me wearing it sometime that will bring this shade justice and post it.

it's not sooper red when worn that's why i love it. it's not flashy red so i can almost wear it everyday too. :)

so, that's about it. i apologize for giving a crappy review. i'm so not into doing reviews of anything. but a promise is a promise. haha. XD

online purchasing

i'm fond of shopping online. i dunno, i feel the convenience of it. i haven't made a lot of purchases though, just window shopping. hihi. :D

but last week, i made a purchase from an online make up store. i transacted for it last thursday afternoon and received my package last saturday night. --it felt weird receiving a courier package at 9:30 pm. :))

and good thing it arrived on time, as promised. :)

i purchased a 78 eye combo palette and 2 nyx round lipsticks.

and i'm loving them! :D

--i have yet to try my eye palette once i know how to use it, hihi.

but so far, i'm loving my nyx lipsticks! :)

it takes a lot of getting used to since i'm really new with everything about make up. but so far, i love how it looks on me. :D

for review, i'll really post a blog for it. maybe this evening at work or tomorrow afternoon.

they deserve a review, hehe.

posted below are my purchases from Le Faerie Cosmetics. :)

i really have a thing with not removing plastic packaging XD

story 1:

my oso and i are walking home from dinner at old manda last saturday at around 7pm...

me: bebe, i still haven't received my package, sabi nila isang araw lang ang delivery. saturday na. :((

oso: [binatukan ako] bakit ba hindi ka nadadala? magkano na naman 'yang sinayang mo..

story 2:

i was opening my newly arrived package last saturday night around 10 pm...

kaye: ate, hindi ka ba natatakot bumili online?

me: natatakot. pero i need to try, right?

out of 4 purchases online, 3 were successful. i got scammed the first time. :))

i don't want to say that i'm really hard headed and i never learn that's why i did it again. but, i know i did. learn. and i need to try again, don't i? when i first experienced being scammed, it made me more careful and aware when i want to buy online. and so far, after that day, my purchasings were great. :)

since 1947

this blog is dedicated to the ham and chese bread i just consumed. :]

whenever i think about binondo or manila, one of the things that pops into my mind is ongpin st. if you're familiar with the streets of manila, ongpin is at the heart of manila's chinatown where delicious dimsums, chinese medicines, and other chinese delicacies are found.

my mom and my tito always takes us there whenever we are in that part of the city. whatever we have done in the day, wherever we have been around manila, at the end of it, we always have our dinner at this chinese restaurant at ongpin.

the chinese restaurant we go to is famous for its dimsums. and boy, it is soooopperrr good. --thinking about it now make my mouth water. and to think it's almost dinner time. ---never thought i'm torturing myself by doing this post. :))

but i'm not to talk about that restaurant. --since the name is in chinese and it's always too long to remember. but you can't miss it. it's in ongpin, near mang inasal's. hehe. XD

the reason for this blog lies on the ham and cheese bread i ate for merienda a few hours back. :)

after each dinner on the chinese restaurant we go to, we never ever fail to stop by salazar bakery. :D

yup. this is dedicated to the bread shop who made me love hopias, moon cakes, tikoys and sunflower seeds. hihi. :]

i'm not really a fan of bread. i seldom eat bread. but salazar made me love bread.

their breads are really different, i might say. just opening their store doors will make you say that you're into an awesome bread shopping. their breads smell sweet and its heavy. that ham and cheese bread alone i ate still made me full up to this time of writing.

so why am i sharing this? well, it's to let you know that their ham and cheese bread is the most awesome ham and cheese bread i have eaten so far. it's my first time trying it. and yes! the ham inside is thick and it's whole. it's not like the others that has minced or stripped ham inside. it really has a whole thick square ham! awesome! the cheese? it's overstuffed with it. cheese lovers would love it! :P~ and it's really facinating how the ham and cheese never overpowered each other. it complimented the bread! it's awesome. :DD if you'll ask me about the bread. well, it's typical salazar bread. heavy, tough, and sweet. :DD it's not fluffy nor soft. and i like my bread that way. :DD and definitely, i'll buy it next time! :D

will post it's picture once i have my phone cable with me. left it at home, hihi. :]

update [11/14/2011]

it can stand alone :))

look at the ham and cheese :P~

the bath mat chronicle

ok, this is a first time for me..

i'll be blogging something that just happened yesterday. :))

before i get lazy, i'll do this na.. XD

i belong to a group way back in HS that is called LPG. we were a 10 girl group established when we were in 3rd year HS, around 2002. what does LPG stands for? well, that's all in the past. let's drop it at that. XD

from time to time we see each other. and from time to time meant that we only see each other atleast once a year after HS graduation. :)) college made us busy. and after college, most of the time, we only see each other when jena comes back from qatar. she works there.

after much talk, txt and dinner, our plan for a get together happened yesterday. ♥

we rented out a nearby hotel suite overnight. we swam, ate, watched tv/movie, gamble and drink our hearts out. hihi. XD we have other friends over too for more fun. :D

i can't say much of how i felt being with my girls. but it is always the same. they never fail to make me happy. :)

pictures from my cam are posted below. i'll update --fingers crossed --when the others have posted their shots.

early birds :)



semi candid photo XD



dinner --after so many suggestions :))

i lost a lot of money due to this :)) a game of "in between"

ish and tony ♥





videoke :P

jena and ish

o, btw. these were taken by my s95 cam. in auto. :)) still haven't had time to study the manual setting, hehe.

update [11/15/2011]

got these from my friends' cams. :)

them in the morning, went to work early :((

videoke madness :D

me and my oso before swimming ♥

sprite, tanduay ice and vodka

random --believe me it is so XP

still remember me? hihi. :">

nothing going on in life that's worth blogging. --how boring can i get? :))

but, i guess boring is not the right word for it but busy. yes, i'm busy. i'm busy thinking and bumming out at work. :))

anything new? let me think of something. there should be, right?

(1) new haircut! yey. just had it this evening. my hair being unruly and all, it needs to be maintained. --though it is not close to looking like it is. XD

no one noticed. all they noticed 'bout my hair is that it's blow dried. =))

(2) had a new ear candy: coldplay. yes, yes! they're an old bad. but hey, there are a lot of bands/singers/groups out there. i can't hear them all, you know. :P

(3) finally bought my polaroid. yey! it cost me a lot, way out of my budget. but having it feels like it's worth it, hehe. one more payslip to go before i complete payment. XD credits to my mom's cc. hooray, standard chartered! X)

(4) what else...

o, this is something i just realized now. october is a celebration of friends. :D woot!

seen a lot of my close friends this month.

saw my hs friends --a happening that is second to the rarety of a blue moon--, saw my college friends --even if it is on random days --and just this afternoon, i visited my college to say hi to the boys and girls from the club. --more about it in paragraphs below.
tomorrow, i'll be sleeping over with my hs girls at some hotel and do videoke, cards and drinking.

o, october is great! :DD

(5) started holiday shopping too. :)

too early? well, this is how i do it. so that i can give to all the people i love and care for, i need to start early for my december salary won't be enough if i'll wait. hihi.

(6) i get to start on thinking about my to do list for 2012.

well, haven't checked all i have for 2011 yet but i like to start thinking about new things i want to start/have in life in case i'll be forgetting them by the time i need to remember them.

so, that's about it for now, i guess.

about visiting school this afternoon...

i was a member of a radio club back in college amongst many other things i do back then. our club is an active ham. we enter contests every now and then and try to outwit our scores from the previous year. we compete against all hams all over the world. usually, we land as continental champions if we work really hard. --i'm just bragging a bit there. XD hey, hard work deserves a little bragging. :DD

anyways, i got you over the introduction.

so, i planned to go for the said contest that is happening from yesterday 0800H PST to october 31,0800H PST. i txted my soul sister jeny, one of my batchmate in the club, if we can visit together. she agreed so there we were.

i was happy being in school. a lot of things are changing back there. i was surprised seeing our 4th floor laboratories being renovated and being polished and clean and all. it is weird. i had this nostalgic feeling while passing right by it. i always believed those dirty labs were our department's pride and honor. many battles have lost and won on those labs. and it being dirty reflects how hard working each student who were in there. --ok, i might be dramatic, but that's how i really felt. so seeing it in fresh paint and shiny floors really broke my heart. </3

i get to hang out at our ham shack and talked with some of the members about random things. they asked about work and how life is at the other side of the dream. i answered their questions with enthusiasm and wisdom. hihi. then i lingered at the tower for a bit. just there doing nothing before i went down.

finally met jeny after an hour and a half from our scheduled meeting time. then we were there talking to the boys about random. laughing and catching up. we bought them ice cream and also ate late lunch.

but, i guess i was practically there to spend time with jeny. catching up and talking about how old we feel. :)) ok, old is harsh. let me change that to mature. --yuck. X))

we talk about our relationships, we talked about our eating habits and food preferences. we did a little bit of memory lane and started talking about plans and careers. o boy, we were boring. :)) but those boring conversations is really where we are right now.

making plans to make things happen. to be somebody, to get to somewhere.

then we realized why we keep on coming back to school.

i guess even if we cannot stop life from letting us grow up and get mature, we still want the same things we say we wanted back when we were young and stupid. we are still hanging on to our old foolish but wonderful selves.

we may be attending a lot of baptisms, weddings, baby showers, office parties, reunions and all that. but, our feet is where it should be.

that visit reminded me of who i am. and i'm glad to realize that i'm still my old self despite that i can forget me sometimes. hey, honestly, clinging on to yesterdays are not bad. yesterdays makes us remember. remember what we had and what we wanted to have. sometimes yesterday is all you need to get back on track. and that's what i need for so long. today was a good day. :)

going home, we visited our school's old chapel. the warm feeling inside melted my heart. it just felt like it assured me that whatever is keeping me up most nights, whatever my worries about tomorrow is, whatever i feel like i cannot have, all those things will come my way. in it's time. as long as i will it and remember what is important. the small chapel made me feel that things will be alright. :)

*sigh*

this blog is very random isn't it. XD enjoy!

no more yellow nails

hello, october! sorry for welcoming you late. i was busy, hehe.

these past days, i get to understand why i cannot keep a blog. =))

i'm so lazy uploading and updating~

now i appreciate bloggers out there who really take time to take pictures, edit and post on their blogs. it really is a tough work. and very time consuming.

but i hope in the following days, i will have that gusto to blog about my september getaway, hihi. :">

i would really try my best. but if i cannot, well... i'll really try my best. :))

will update you soon. ♥

heo september! :D

hello, september! sorry for welcoming you so late. a lot of things happened that i did not looked forward in you. but hey, my hope's up. a lot of good things will still come my way, right? though plans for this month are a little bit uneasy, i'm still hoping for the best. after all, you mark my birthday. another year passed. aging in years but growing in life. looking forward into turning 24. ♥

birthday wish?

i want to ask for understanding and kindness. :)

though they say that revealing your wish might jinx it, i wanted to blog about it so that maybe, readers if there are any can help me through it, hihi. :D

anyway, i posted so that i can update you with my life.

remember i promised to post pictures for a blog? well, i want it to be today. :DD

last friday, my work team celebrated its first year. so the whole group went for an outing/GTG.

our boss held an appreciation night were everyone was awarded with plaques and certificates, recognizing their work and contribution for the group. it was a happy event. it gave our group the chance to bond and be together to have fun and brush work off our shoulders even for a while. plus considering our group is very much distributed into different sites, it was really a good chance to share laughters and stories with them. :)

though i did not sleep that whole friday and have to leave early for my duty on saturday, it was worth it. --but remind me to not go on duty like that again. i was sick the whole saturday. XD

here are some of the pictures...

some of the heo gma girls

ok, this is only a picture. =)) please don't blame me. this is the only photo that i'm in. XD

but you got know how fun it was from how i described the event, right? :))

[update: 9/18/2011]
