Yayyy! I have the weekend off! I think i've mentioned before that my company has been really slow due to the outbreak of the swine flu. So management decided to give a few days of vacation and of course there's a catch. It's without pay, but we gotta use up what's left of the ones with pay that we have left. And of course I used up all of mine, haha [I get 21 days of paid vacay next month on the 9th]. I initially didnt wna take any because I need the $$$. A few of my co-workers were taking weeks at a time so I decided I want a break too. I requested for Friday and Saturday since im off on Sundays. To start off my little vacation, I went a little [okay alot] crazy cleaning and organizing our room, this was after sleeping in and I woke up around 12:30pm. But anyway... I found some things that I have been searching hi and low for, threw out things we didnt need anymore and just rearranged the furnitures. It's so roomy now and it feels good. And I did it all by myself [i like it better that way] as the bf was at work and I wanted to surprise him, hehe. I finished at around 5pm just in time before he gets home. It was a hell of a hotttt day, so it felt damn good to get in that cold shower. I was so tired that I took a nap right after and 30 minutes later he was home! I love that relaxed reaction on his face. But we had to get ready for a family dinner, it was his sister Farren's 16th birthday. She didnt have anything big. Alot of people, me included were telling advising her to just wait till her 18th. Since its traditional for us Filipinas. We just got her a cute hot pink and black plaid top, no picture though haha.


Anyhoo I wore this look to the dinner. Typical, pink and purple with a pop of blue LOL. My 'Mother-in-Law' was like "Yan bang pinanuod mo sa YOUCHUBE?" that's tagalog for "Is that what you watched on YOUCHUBE?" hahaha. I guess she see's my Sister-in-Law watching you guru's doing tutorials. She said it was nice, I beg to differ. It was not the best because my face is all funky with all the breakout and stuff but its getting better.

Got this questionaire off of Danica's blog. And it's all about M.A.C. Who doesnt love MAC?!


How long have you been using MAC?
A year and a half, I just started really getting into makeup last year. Before that all I ever wore was lots of eyeliner and lipgloss.


What was your first MAC product?
Woodwinked Eyeshadow.


What's your all time favorite MAC product?
Blacktrack Fluidliner


What's your least favorite MAC product?
The pressed powders, they are not oil-free and my face is really oily. Even if you just swatch some on your fingers you can already feel it. Same goes for the foundies but I used an oil control base so I can work with it.


Do you own a Pro Card?
I wish! I did everything I could to get started in beauty school but the schedule is just not something I could work around. It's 9 am - 4 pm everyday except Sunday and Monday for Eleven months, my work is only open from 8 am - 7 am and I cant just quit coz I have a car to pay. Ugh I hate this dilemma.


Your MAC foundation shade?
NC40


What's your favorite MAC foundation?
Studio Fix fluid, it has great coverage. I just wish they have oily skin type formula.


Blusher:
Hello Kitty Collection; Fun and Games


Powder:
Not really a fan. I use baby powder to set, its transparent and it mattyfies.


Eyeshadow:
My all time favorite is CARBON. I can do an entire smokey look with just this!


Lipstick:
Heatherette Collection; Fleshpot, a little goes a long way.


Lipgloss:
Fafi Collection; Sugartrance, another all time favorite


Liner:
Blacktrack fluid line


Brush:
I'd say the 217. Its stiff enough to cover the lid but it's also fluffy enough to blend.


Nail Laquer:
Dont own any polishes from MAC


Pro Product:
Refill palettes and pan!

studio pictures

I mentioned a post ago that I took studio pictures with my cousins. Well, they're in! I ordered some of the other poses we took and I love how they turned out. We took this picture because one of our cousin is leaving to Washington next Wednesday. There's a few of us missing because they are in the states [M.I.A. Freda - New York, Marylou & Maryjane - Washington, Gina - She was sleeping] Anyway here's the pictures...

Click image for a larger view
Pose # 1
This is the pose we chose for our package. It looks so angelic and innocent :) We also ordered an 11 x 7 to frame and send to our grandma in the Philippines.

Pose # 2
Top L-R: Shar - Michelle - Janet
Middle L-R: Diana - Maryanne
Bottom: Joanna
[Maryanne looks like Chun-Li from street fighters because her hair flower on one side and the ruffle from Janet's dress on the other LOL but its cute though]

Pose # 3
Looks like something off of a soap opera, haha.

fotd: smokey eyes, haul

Yesterday, my cousin's and I went to get our pictures taken because one of them is leaving next wednesday to Washington. It was so much fun, my cousins are hella funny I swear. In most of our pictures someone is either laughing or blinked their eyes. Anyway, our theme was supposed to be ALL white. But most of us, ok well me and one other cousin, didnt have or couldnt find an all white outfit to buy. I went to ROSS again, I was searching high and low for something white. I was about to give up and ask my cousins "why dont three of us wear black and three of us wear white" and then I saw a plain white 3/4 sleeve top sticking out of the rack from afar LOL. Guess what I did? Yep I ran to it before anyone had their hands on it. Haha. I was actually skeptical about getting it coz it was just tooo... plain, but I told myself, i'll just dress it with some accessories. So that's my story pretty lame haha. anyways here's what I got


I got this from ROSS, I wore it with my white top for the picture. It was only $5. I wna go back and get the yellow and pink ones.

Another one from ROSS! Although this dress is plain, it screams summer, to me at least. The sleeves go off the shoulder plus it makes my boobs look nice. Just the right cleavage. hehe. This was $8.99 Dont you just love the color?
I got this frame for the picture that My boyfriend and I took on our anniversary, cute no?! It was $3.99 Haha so cheaaap!

I've been wanting to get another wallet because I've been using my Louis Vuitton one for three years straight. But I didnt wna settle for a cheap one. I was thinking of getting a new LV, Marc Jacobs, Chanel or even Gucci. I know i know I AM materialistic [and what? I work for my money]. But I seriouly need to give poor LV it a rest lol. My work has been so slooow lately, due to the "swine flu outbreak", that upper management is encouraging us to take lwop [leave without pay]. I'd rather take that than get layed off, other companies are considering that. Anyway, I was never really into Le Sportsac, coz I love LEATHER! But I told myself, now is not the right time to splurge on another wallet. So I just got one from Le Sportsac, I never really liked prints on my wallet unless its just unbearably cute, like toki doki. The one I got is just plain black, like patent leather almost. But I LOVE IT! This was $46 but I got a 20% discount = $36.80, cheap huh. It's roomy and it has a wrist strap so it's also like a wristlet.


So I finally met Maggie and Vince at kmart, she is just so much more beautiful in person. If you think her pictures are HOTT wait till you see her in person. And she's such a sweeetheart. She gave me this Green flower ring coz she knew I was into these. MAGGIE THANK YOU! And yesss I LOVE IT girrrl, dont worry. Thanks for even thinking of me. Dont worry im gna get you back.





fotd: smokey eyes
This is the look I wore to our "photoshoot" haha. I was already running late from all the shopping I did. So like I always do when im in a hurry, I resorted to my smokey eyes. I was thinking of wearing red lips, but that's a little to much. Lucky think I didn't coz our background was a red rose. I really like how our picture turned our, with us wearing white and the red background. I post it up once I pick it up, which is later on at 5pm, hehe.

fotn, some serious news

I needed to go Kmart so get me some pore strips to try. But the boyfriend was taking a nap so I just played around again. I never did a yellow look because I thought yellow does not compliment my skin tone. But I found that incorporating some browns work well. So without further ado...

So on our way to Kmart [around 10:30 pm] not far from home we notice that a bunch of cars were stopped in the middle of our biggest highway on Guam, Marine Corps Drive or Route 1. There was an accident involving a van and a motorcycle on the opposite side of our lane. It had just happened when we passed by. We slowed and rolled our windows down to get a better look. All we heard were screams and I immediately got so scared. We saw the man that was on the bike laying down on the road, no movement. I wanted to stop but we were causing traffic on our lane so we just went ahead to kmart. I was in shock and I started to cry saying "I hope he's okay, I hope he's okay". Although we didnt know if he was alive, I put myself in the shoes of his family because MY boyfriend cruises on his bike too. We argue numerous times because I dont want him to. I guess thats why I really freaked out. When we got to kmart I was just so shook that I forgot what we went there for, I just wanted to walk around and take my mind off what we just saw. While there, we got a call from his brother telling us about it coz he cruises too, word travels fast. Turns out Marvin's parents were three cars behind this guy heading home. They said he was ripping it and cutting people off until he hit the van. On the side of the road theres a retail store and a bbq stand that a van was coming out of and the motorcycle was going too fast to avoid. His parents said they panicked because they thought it was either my bf or his brother. They stopped to try to help. And thats when we passed by, someone checked for a pulse and said "he's gone". We're all just in shock right now. I just had a serious talk with Marvin and told him to sell his bike. I've been arguing with him about getting the bike in the first place. He thinks I just dont want him to have fun. That accident is exactly why I didnt want him to get it. Its so sad because he was probably just heading home. Bf said he sees the guy around and he was a customer at their shop awhile ago. I was told he's african-american, in the airforce and probably just stationed here. R.I.P [I dont have his name] I wish I can send my condolences to his family. So be safe everyone.
