a very vegas xmas

i just wanted to post my first ever company christmas party. hihi. :">

i'll just be posting our photobooth shots. XD

w/ my heo family

manda heo :D

failed U5 blogging attempt XD

this is a late post.

a few days ago, i was trying if i can use my mobile phone to do random blogs. i was thinking that it would be easier that way. opening a laptop/pc is way less convenient than a mobile, right?

so i did try. but, to no avail. my phone can't!! :((

now i'm thinking if i need a phone that is more social. but, that would mean spending. and i can't spend. heartbreak. </3

so 'til that day comes, i'll settle for blogging my randomness thru how i know best.

and here's what i was to attempt blogging about the other day.

my oso purchased me a new book. :) he's really dear. i never fail to make him buy me things. :)) and i love him more because of that. =)) thank you, oso. ♥

i was eyeing on this for a few months already but i had never made it a priority book purchase. my reason for buying it? well, to support my fellow kababayan of course. woohoo! :)

i was thinking of having my feeling towards the book be written but i'm not yet sure about how i felt about it. so, that'll be another blog assignment. :))

also thinking that i only had 2 hours of sleep and is on a 12-hour duty, my mind is not in its best shape. so i'll be really skipping this today.

--reasons, reasons. reasons are given by lazy people. *bow*

:P

initial d-ing

everyday is a blessing they say. true. it's in the manner of how you see yours. :)

yesterday is no special day for me. but as i was praying last night, i realized how blessed the day went.

first, i was puyat. i slept past 4am because i was watching initial d. i realized i have work at 2pm that day. so i was worried i might not be up on time. i prayed i'd be up by 12nn atleast. putting faith on my alarms. XD but hey, 8am, i woke up and no hang over from initial d was felt. :))

second, yesterday morning was a rainy day. and not just its normal pour but it was cats and dogs. i was really worried on how i will be able to go to work. commuting from manda on a rainy day always seem like a segment on survivor. X)) but, the rain stopped around 1pm that afternoon. hooray! :)

third, i was on swing duty yesterday and was worried if i'll be able to eat proper dinner. at home, when you come late, sometimes, there's no food left for you. i was fixed on having dinner at jollibee before going home. i don't wanna risk the chance of me not eating for i was soooo hungry. since i'm a little out of budget this times, a simple meal from a fastfood chain would still be hurting my pocket feelings.

but around 9pm last night, my mom txted. she is asking if i'll be having dinner at home and if i will, she'll have something cooked for me since there are no food left. yey for mom! :)

haha, i know my yesterday may seem simple. but while i was praying last night, i really felt the blessings for me that day. the stopping of the rain alone and my mom txting me if i had dinner is rare enough. there are also in between things i was thankful for.

perception is really a big factor for the mind to entertain. maybe if i'll realize my everyday just like how i did for yesterday, i'll be always on my awesome self.

now i realized why i need to blog this.

so that i can look back on this post when i'm down and feeling like crap. haha.

God is always best. amen. ♥

december = a season of giving .: a season of expenses =))

but there are expenses that are worth the pay. like seeing these last night. ♥

yummy :P~

finally saw how he bends \m/

i won't get into details about my experience yesterday. it had been a very mixed emotion for me. the getting there, the being there and the going home.

but all is well in the end. thank you for this chance, papa God. ♥

MUG-ing on a sunday :))

out of curiosity.. why do i have a thing for make up lately?

well, the thought came to me one day realizing that i need to learn how to apply make up so that in the future, i'll be somebody my daughter can rely in to for school programs. :)) i know, i know, i'm thinking way ahead and a little weird. but, that's that. :))

but the one who gave me a push into really trying was Marlena of Make Up Geek.

so for those curious, you can meet her. :)

promise keeper

as promised. here's how my nyx round lipstick in snow white looks like on me, really. :)

snow white on a red bg  XD

credits to remembering my promised post to gong cha milk tea :))

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
