A fresh start. A new beginning. But for most people, it's just another 'new' year. Another year to write down a (new) set of resolutions that most are unsure of even doing. Let's be honest, were we even able to do all of our listed plans from last year? Or the year before that? I gotta admit to myself, I've already stopped writing those for years since I know in myself that I'm really not sure of doing it at all. Not because I've forgotten it, but because I didn't know how to do it without 'it' being a distraction or hindrance to my work or problems that I needed to solve back then.<br />

<br />
And yes, I might even be just reasoning out to myself. 'You can't do this resolution yet because.' It's easy to list things down but it's actually harder to do in reality.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I'd rather just state things that I've learned from the year that had passed, so that I'd have an idea of how to face new trials and challenges this year. <br />
<br />
Achieving goals isn't a child's play. I've learned time and
again, that some things can't be achieved quickly. You need time and hell lot of patience for it. Plus, you need to face whatever is ahead of you.<br />
<br />

<br />
I personally have my own fair share of problems that I need to face, including myself. I lack confidence and self-esteem, to a point that it can make me feel down. And those are some of the things that I'm currently facing everyday. It's hard really. There are times that I'd compare myself to a lot of other pretty girls out there, which puts me to my first lesson:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> Just be yourself. </i></b></div>
<br />
No matter how cliche it sounds, it's the truth. And it's achievable. Initially, I've no idea how to do it but I did. I would always make it a point that I'd wear clothes that I'm comfortable in and expresses my inner self. Sometimes, I'd even wear colored contacts, dark lipsticks and make-up. I also had my hair dyed for years now (2-3 years at most) not because I wanted the attention that I always get from it, but because it makes me feel...me! And it's really great that I have very supportive friends and loved ones. I might seem weird to most people because of what they see physically, but for me, I'm me. It's what makes me feel complacent and confident. Of course, don't forget to still follow dress codes when needed (a.k.a. work or school, etc). You can still express yourself in your own little way without having to break those rules.<br />
<br />
Now, just because you wanted so much to express yourself, does not mean that you have to buy all those expensive things that you want to wear. There are better alternatives to everything, especially if you don't have the greens for it. Either that, or just go and<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Save, save, save!</b></i></div>
<br />
When we were kids, one of the things that our parents had thought us is that we should always save up for another day. It's pretty much like that. Since we can't always depend on other people all the time whenever we want something of monetary value, the most that we can do to get what we want is to save our own money. And this doesn't just apply to what we want right now, but also what we want in the future. Want those pair of Dr.Martens boots? Save for it. Want that latest Iphone6? Save for it. Want to travel around the world? Save for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I know it might be easy to say but hard to do, but it's still really attainable. I've known a lot of people who had to budget their earnings or allowances just so they can buy everything that they want or go to any place that they want using their own money. Yes, the keyword is to save. But of course, you need to know what you really want so that you won't just waste that hard earned cash. So the best thing to do is to<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Plan ahead. </b></i></div>
<br />
or just know how to budget or list things that you know that you really need. When I was still renting my own place, one thing that I've learned is to list down all my necessities for a month, including my bills, groceries and other important things. I'd always do this so I'd know if I have enough money to pay for the things that I collect or spare for those sudden outings or road trips or most important of all, if I have enough money just in case an emergency at home happens. You can't really tell. Also, since I'm a collector of many different things, I also have a list of what I want to buy. But if I do see something that I want, I would think about it first.<br />
<br />
Is it worth it? Will I be able to get it at a lower price at another time? Do I really want it that bad? Do I have enough money for it?<br />
<br />
For some, I might sound like an old woman but in reality, I'm just being practical. It's really heart breaking if you'd see some thing that you want but can't have due to the lack of money. But don't worry, because eventually and in due time, you'd still have the chance to own it if you really want it that bad. I've got some experiences that proves this and a lot of people are really amazed by it. One other thing that can help you in saving and budgeting is<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Learn how to utilize everything that you have.</b></i></div>
<br />
During those times that I had some financial difficulties, I had a hard time keeping up with my collection as well as my everyday needs. I've also been trying out a lot of make-up and skincare products early last year. And mind you, these products aren't really that cheap. So with all of this, what I did was to look for alternatives. We tried to look for second hand stores that sell some of the things that I collect at a much lower price. As for those beauty products, what I usually do was to attend beauty fairs and workshops, since most of the time, they'd provide you loot bag of goodies that you can try for yourself. As for other things, I try to utilize my own sources, trying to be resourceful the best way I can so I can save up my money on other important things. Lastly,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Appreciate the small things.</i></b></div>
<br />
Because usually, the small things are the ones that will leave a mark. As you grow, you'd learn a lot of things in life that you can't learn by textbooks or school. You'd learn them by experience and you'd try and try until you've achieved your goals. And then you'd remember the small things. Those things that had helped you along the way.<br />
<br />

<br />
I remember the time when we wanted to go on a movie date but we didn't have enough funds. My partner and I would drop by a grocery to buy a bag of fries that we can cook at home, find some good movies to watch and then we're good. Because really, you don't have to spend a lot of money just so you could enjoy each others company (well, unless you really have money for it or you have a very choosey partner). And besides, there are a lot of things that you can do without having to spend much.<br />
<br />
I know that most of the things that I said are really cliche, but there are a lot of stereotypical things that you never know you'd eventually learn and apply late. And it's better to use those things that you've learn to help you make a better start in your life. Indeed, it is a new year, and rather than just sit there and list those things that you'd eventually forget, why not list long term goals that can help you have a better and more happier life. Face reality head-on.<br />
<br />
Cheers guys! It's 2015, Let's make more memories! <br />

I've already made some draft posts but was unable to complete them until this month. I guess I was just too stressed or busy to do my routine, things that I personally told myself to do, but neglected otherwise. But right now, I'm back and I decided to collate some of the photos that I took during these past two months of absence. So this post will be more of a photo diary.<br />

<a name='more'></a>So what exactly happened? I got a new job, met new friends, had new adventures, did new stuff. It was all through out, something different, not the usual. It wasn't that hard to adapt to. It's just that, and yes I do admit it, the stress of personal things that caught me off guard. I'm a thinker. you see. But sometimes, not in a good way. I over think to the point that I would get mad at others or even to myself. The worse that had happened from being stressed from everything and over thinking at the same time was I became a very sickly lass. It was either I would lose my voice or have body pains. Worse case scenario was I'd have fever or flu along with it. And this happened for almost two months. Thank God my boyfriend was always there to take care of me. I felt really weak and I hated it. I hate the fact that I can barely move or do things. I just had to lie down and rest and rest till I got well. I was able to adapt but sadly, my body couldn't.<br />

<br />
I did my best to try to go back to normal. I just had to recuperate. I don't wanna get stuck being all weak and sickly. One of the things that helped me while I was recovering were my friends. Yes, despite not being able to accept everyone's invitation of going out, sleeping over or what, they were still there, giving me words of encouragements and 'get well soon.' And even if it sounds too cliche, still, thank you so much.<br />

Well, that's pretty much it. For those who doesn't know, yes, I collect stuffed toys (or plushies, as others would call it) as well as figures. I also love love socks. As you've noticed, I'm always wearing a pair of socks (or stockings) for all of my outfits. I'm really not used to not wearing one. And yes, I've already re-dyed my hair to blue and purple again (I'll have a separate post for that one).<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks for the quick read! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year guys!<br />

I think I've said this before, probably even tons of times already. And believe me, it's really hard especially since I wanted to do a lot of things in my life and being shy isn't really helping. I'm still trying though. I mean, I sometimes volunteer doing things, which I don't normally do. Observing people and listening to talks or workshops really does wonders. Lately, I've also noticed how being into beauty and make-up has (slowly) helped me to step up and be more confident. I've been joining online contest that involves posting my face, against many other more pretty girls. Even if I know that deep down inside, there's really a low, low chance of winning, I'd still join it.<br />

<a name='more'></a>One more thing that I've been learning to do is how to pose properly for shoots. I don't know how to pose even if my life depended on it. I just usually...stand there and smile. Sometimes, my friends would tell me how to poses before taking my photo. It's really embarrassing, to be honest. But I needed to learn, somehow.<br />
<br />
Halfway through the year, I wanted to join a certain cosmetic brand's contest. I saw that most of the girls that had already joined really looked cute or pretty or just all dolled up. So I thought, maybe I should try it too, if I really wanted to join said contest.<br />
<br />
So I tried my best to looked more dolled up and girly. Tried.<br />
<br />
And I gotta admit that my boyfriend helped me a lot in boosting my confidence. So we picked a lot where we can do the shoot. I was dead embarrassed, seriously. Thank God there weren't that much people during the time that we were there.<br />
<br />
Here are best shots so far from the shoot that we had. We took advantage of the outdoor lighting. Nothing beats natural lighting, of course. <br />

That's about it. It's not really the best shoot I had but it's a good way to learn things: like how to pose more appropriately. I need to be more natural rather than stiff. As well as my facial expressions. I need to not just 'smile'.<br />
<br />
But well, like they say, you're your own critic and learn from experience.<br />

<a name='more'></a>We arrived around 2:40 pm, just a few minutes before my first talk started. So I just took a quick peek around the hall to see what's happening. It was literally like a fair. There were many booths of different things: a food booth, beauty booths, techie booths, hair care booths, body care booths, a tarot card reading booth and other activity booths. I would've tried the wall climbing activity if only I wasn't wearing a skirt. And also, everybody were surprised to see the event marshals suddenly dancing to the beat of a specific tune!<br />

The great thing about being able to preregister were the loot bags that you will get from the event. I always love getting a bag full of goodies from all these BDJ events since I get to try a lot products from different brands all the time.<br />
<br />
My first talk was "Create Your Own #beautiful story with Tricia Gosingtian for Ponds."I've always known Tricia a a photographer, a traveler, fashion icon and a blogger. I barely saw her talk in front of a crowd and that's actually what she admitted at the beginning of the talk. She wasn't used to it and I could actually feel her awkwardness. But while she was discussing her life in front of us, how she attained her current role, I can't help but listen in wonder. She really was just a simple girl who had worked hard for what she wanted. I can't even believe all the Magazine covers that she did. She never did brag about it at all. I mean, who would've known she was the photographer of the front cover of a famous local fashion magazine, right? <br />

<br />
If you want something really badly, you work hard for it. Do your best to attain it. That's what I learned from the talk. And I was really inspired. While I was listening , a lot of things were already running in my mind. I have a lot of things that I wanted to do and she made me believe that yes, I could do all of these things as long as I believe in myself. Strive hard, work hard, give it your best shot. <br />
<br />
I wasn't able to attend my second talk for the day because I wasn't feeling that well and my talk was suppose to start round 7:00 PM. So my boyfriend and I decided to go home instead. But not before taking a photo of my outfit for that day.<br />

Yes, I do admit that everything that I'm wearing from these photos are all from various thrift stores, save for the shoes and accessories. I bought my vest from an online shop and the top, skirt (which was actually an H&M skirt, very lucky find) and socks from a thrift store near my boyfriend's house. Maybe I should post about thrift stores soon.<br />

Also, I barely wear skirts nowadays, especially bandage skirts. I've always preferred wearing shorts all the time since its easier to move around. And I like pleated skirts more too. But maybe I should try wearing other variations for a change. I need to experiment with my clothes more often, or probably whenever I'm in the mood for it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks for reading! :3 <br />

I've already tried some of their products and they've never let me down not even once. So I was really ecstatic when they released a new set of skincare this year.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The very first thing that I wanted to try out was the toner. I was using my old toner for quite some time now and I thought that it was about time to try something new. So when I saw their new stall over at SM South mall, I instantly checked out their whole skincare series. It's really nice to see that they have a different line for people with different skin types. Being a person who has a bad case of oily skin, I immediately bought Canmake's Smooth Clear lotion for Combination to Oily Skin.<br />
<br />
I love the simple packaging, by the way. It comes in a 150mL flip-top bottle with a blueish tint. Upon purchasing, it came with a
box that indicates every need-to-know about the product including the directions on how to use it and ingredients or formulations.<br />

For people who cannot understand Japanese, do not fret! Both the box and
the bottle comes with an English translation, so in case you want to
read any information about this item, you can!<br />
<br />
I've been using this for 2 weeks now and I'm seriously loving it. It comes with a Lavender and Geranium oil scent which really smells nice. I've also noticed how my face feels more cleaner and smoother especially during those times that I had to wear heavy make-up and I know that washing my face wouldn't be enough. This has helped clean out excess dirt, moisten, and at the same time, lessen the oiliness of my face without making my skin dry.<br />

Would I buy another bottle of this? Yes, I definitely would. And I'd love to try out their facial wash and moisturizer too! Would you give this one a try? :)<br />

I've known of the event way too late to join any workshops. All the of the workshops are already full and I was really envious of the people who were able to register and get loot bags. Also, despite enjoying all the beauty booths that were there, I wasn't able to
try everything because I was really shy back then and I didn't know
what to do. I felt a bit awkward being in a place full of girly things. So I thought that maybe next time, I'd be more adventurous to try everything that I can, I mean, I'd love to see which products out there are the best for me.<br />

I was lucky enough to partake in their latest event, Camp Gorgeous, which was held just a few weeks ago at the Skydome at SM North Edsa. Since I've known the event early, I was able to sign-up and get a slot from two of their workshops from Shu Uemura and Benefit Cosmetics. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Despite the brewing storm that day, the BDJ team were still up and running. No storm could ever falter their high spirits! And the nice thing about all these beauty social events is that, entrance is free, so even if you just stumble upon the event without any idea what it's about, you can still check it out without paying for anything at all! <br />
<br />
We arrived at Skydome early, probably around 12 noon. Since my first talk will start around 1 p.m, I decided to check out the booths first. The very first booth that I noticed was by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/benefitcosmeticsphilippines" target="_blank">Benefit Cosmetics</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Benefit Cosmetics Booth with their booth majorette.</i></span></span></div>
<br />
I was able to drop by their booth last March but I thought it was already closed since I didn't see anyone around. So I was really hyped to see their booth again this time. They were promoting their newest product called Majorette, a cream-to-powder booster blush that comes with a pink-peach shade.Their cute booth majorette even showed me how to apply it with just the use of my fingers. I initially saw this product online via their facebook account, and I
gotta admit that I instantly liked it. I loved how it looked, the
packaging and all. And during that day that I was able to try it out on
myself, I wanted it more. It was seriously perfect - the pigmentation
was just right and the shade, exactly how I wanted it to be. I seriously
hope that I could save up and get one for myself really soon!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Majorette!</span></i></div>
<br />
I adored their booth! A part of it was made to look like a huge Majorette with the big mirror. Benefit cosmetics wanted girls to try out their newest blush and have their 'selfies' taken via the huge mirror. I took a couple photo instead. Before we left, the Benefit majorette was nice enough to give me a Porefessional trial sachet too. Such a sweetie. <br />

After the whole Bene booth experience, I went straight for my first talk for the day. The event's host, by the way, is none other than the beautifully sexy, Ms. Karen Bordador.<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411594110656_1963" style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> I didn't actually expect to see her as the host. And I was surprised by how simple yet pretty she looked in person.</span><br />

My first talk was '<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411594110656_1963" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Be Bold, Be Edgy' with Patrick Alcober of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shuuemura.philippines" target="_blank">Shu Uemura</a>. I'm still trying to learn how to properly apply eyeshadow, so this talk really helped me a lot. He did a really simple yet basic way of using eyeshadow, as well as how to partner different shades.</span><br />

His model, <a href="http://instagram/avywuvy" target="_blank">Ms. Avryll Ortega-Vicencio</a>
was really pretty too. What caught my attention was her face. She was
so lovely, I was actually staring at her during the whole talk.
And I loved her dress a lot, the simple black and white peter pan collar
dress is always a classic!<br />

Since my second talk will start at around 5:00pm, we decided to roam around the event to see all the other booths that were there. I started with the Heroine Make booth. Like Canmake and Dolly Wink, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heroine-Make-Philippines/378193612323031" target="_blank">Heroine Make</a> is another product that came from Japan. I've always been intrigued with this brand since I've been seeing it a lot online. <br />

I tried out one of their famed products named the Heroine Make Impact Frame and Curl Mascara. When it said impact and curl, it really wasn't joking. I was surprised at how long my lashes had become right after applying it. Another make added to my must-buy list!<br />

Another familiar booth was from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/piandresalon" target="_blank">Piandre</a>.

The L'Oreal booth was also very interesting. They offered free facials and skin analyzers during the whole event. I wasn't able to try the skin analyzer out since the line from their booth was never-ending, so I was envious of the people who got the chance to try it out. <br />

Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PACPhilippines" target="_blank">Pac Philippines</a> had a little activity in their booth. They also offered exclusive skin care and make up workshop.The lucky Bellas who got to join their talks also took home goodie bags from them. They also had a little contest going on their booth: get a chance to win different prizes from them just by trying their colorful liquid liners, taking a photo and posting it on Instagram. Of course, since I've got nothing else to do, I decided to give it a try.<br />

The last talk that I attended was the 'Get a Beauty Boost' by Mikka Lim of Benefit Cosmetics. She initially introduced Benefit's products and best sellers, including their famed They're Real line. Finally, I had the chance to see the They're Real Mascara and Eyeliner in action! As you can see, after applying They're Real mascara, the effect is like the model had really long lashes. Ms.Mikka also showed how easy it is to achieve a cat eye style just by using They're Real Eyeliner.<br />

I can't wait to attend another BDJ Box event! They're one of the reason why I get the chance to try out a lot of make-up and skincare goodies and I love it. They'll make you feel that you can be beautiful in a lot of ways with just how you want it to be. Attending this kind of event is always an experience.<br />
<br />
To the BDJ Box team, kudos and congratulations for a job well done! Till next time! :)<br />

You can either be happy for a minute and then sad after another. Everything can be at the top but suddenly would come crashing down. The sad truth is that, in life you can't really be too sure of anything unless you do something about it.<br />
<br />
The road that we sometimes walk thru can be very dark and twisted. And gloomy. And cold. And we tend to get lost in it. But somehow, despite these hurdles, we always survive the depths of those dark moments. The result only differs on how we've handled everything.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Now what exactly have I been doing for the passed few months that I've been gone from the blog-sphere? I've actually decided to do things my way with some parts of my life. It wasn't really easy, doing decisions on your own without being so sure just how the setbacks would be like. During those times, I ended a contract with a company. I've already thought that this decision was actually years too late. But I did it now. And I wanted to start anew. But first, I wanted to rest. I needed some breathing space. <br />

I took advantage of the time. I slept till my eyes were sore and my back would ache. I'd wake up just to eat and watch a movie or a series and then I slept again. It was a daily routine for me and I really loved it at that moment. I've been working for more than 6 years non-stop and I do believe a month-long rest was more than enough. Of course, I did my fair share of supporting my organization while I was (literally) a bum. And I couldn't resist going to those free make-up and beauty workshops when I had the chance. All in all, I was enjoying those days a lot.<br />

But I had to face reality, the cold, hard truth that I needed to work again. I had to since I needed a source of greens for my necessities, my hobbies, other needs and wants. And it was hard. I literally felt like I was a fresh grad, but with an edge. Nonetheless, it wasn't easy. But I never lost hope. I knew that at the end of the day, there really will be a job for me. And eventually, I found that. I was accepted. And I was really happy. A job from a company that I'd never thought I'd work with. <br />
<br />
Everything was new. The environment was new, the needed
work was new. New friends, new rules. Even the motivation that I need, they're actually giving it. A new chance in life. It was
probably meant for me. Or probably not. But, regardless, I need to do my
best. It was change. And I need to show the world that I can adapt to
change if I needed to do so. I can be a different person, hopefully for
the best and not for the worst. <br />

It's a reflection that I see. A reflection of my old career and my new one. Life will start anew and I will again be in the driver's seat.<br />

<br />
So I went on a short vacation before I decided to face a new challenge in my life. It's not really much. But the feeling of not being able to control the situation that you're currently facing can really make you feel anxious. And very excited. And just way better than how things were before. I'm actually excited to spend more time with my friends now that I'm located in a more accessible area.<br />

<br />
But, can I do this? Can I handle the upcoming stress and pressure? Can I sacrifice things just for this newly found challenge? We'll see. But here's one thing that I can say: 'I'm Ready.'<br />

blogger's post. And in all honesty, the only types of scrub that I know are
those facial and body scrubs. But I love scrubs! Seriously! And I've been
wanting to try those lip scrubs out ever since. Sadly, the only brand that I know
sells them in big jars.<br />
<br />
I was in luck when I saw Ellana's Lip Scrub which was just posted on their Facebook page during that time. After some research, I instantly dropped by one of their stalls located at Cinderella, Alabang Town Center and bought a pot!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Ellana's Lip Scrub comes only in one variant which is Strawberry Vanilla. I love anything strawberry and vanilla scented or flavored. So I was really happy when this one came in both. The sweet scent makes you wanna eat the whole thing! <br />
<br />

<br />
What's really to like about this product is how simple yet effective it is. With sugar as the main component, you can be very sure that what you're applying to your lips is as natural as it can get. With just a bit of scrub, you can already exfoliate without damaging your lips.The results? Softer and smoother looking lips!<br />
<br />
I use this whenever I get the chance to do so, or at least twice or thrice a week. My lips can get pretty chappy and flaky at times so this one really helps me a lot. And the size is just perfect - it's not too much nor is it too less. Don't ever let the small packaging fool you. The 10g size is more than enough for a month or so usage. Also, because it is small, it's perfectly light and handy! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Instruction for use: Just rub a small amount onto your lips in a circular motion and wipe it off with a tissue.</i></div>
<br />
One little trick that I can share though is this: try to look for little spoon or spatula, that comes with some of the chocolate cups for kids or a small popsicle stick can also suffice. You can use this as your applicator, and with this, you can control the amount of scrub that you can get from the pot without having to directly get it. In this case, it can be more hygienic. <br />

I've always wondered how to be a part of those. So I did my best to look after any brand's events and newsletter, especially my favorite ones.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, I saw <a href="https://www.facebook.com/toocoolgirlph" target="_blank">Too Cool For School</a>'s ad regarding their second make-up workshop. They were going to introduce some of their newest products there. So, I instantly messaged them, chose my preferred time (they were offering four different schedules) and registered.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9A4aIwLOqdztRlfCqyV9v67g0-S8PExDFn54OV6ywjQFmVsjLD66TwOJWwzgLsDWJBycGBdLiwuSng_U6mBbNktMBEW4zoOr7wVnxvQSJ4e4HheyJyLjXqN4hiiLOavpPOYEcFBZOg4y/s1600/tcfsb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9A4aIwLOqdztRlfCqyV9v67g0-S8PExDFn54OV6ywjQFmVsjLD66TwOJWwzgLsDWJBycGBdLiwuSng_U6mBbNktMBEW4zoOr7wVnxvQSJ4e4HheyJyLjXqN4hiiLOavpPOYEcFBZOg4y/s1600/tcfsb.png" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_360470108"></span><span id="goog_360470109"></span><br />
And I was lucky enough to be chosen to partake in this event called the Cool Girl's Make-up Workshop! <br />
<a name='more'></a>It took place at Sm Mall of Asia at their (really cute) Dinoplatz Pop-up Store near the Ice Skating Ring. It might sound exaggerated but, I arrived and went straight to their booth an hour earlier than my schedule. I felt really excited about it since it was going to be my very first beauty workshop. <br />
<span id="goog_360470108"></span><span id="goog_360470109"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span id="goog_360470108"></span><span id="goog_360470109"></span><br />
What caught my attention upon arriving at their booth was this pop-up stands of their Dinoplatz dinosaurs. It was really cute and catchy, even those who doesn't know their products including kids can't help but take pictures with these adorable creatures.<br />
<span id="goog_360470108"></span><span id="goog_360470109"></span><br />
<span id="goog_360470108">By 5:00 PM, TCFS's make-up artist, <i>Raymond</i>, introduced himself</span> to us (there were just 5 of us). He picked one of us to be his model and explained that he was going to do an everyday make-up look. He also said that the best way to apply anything on you face is by using your own fingers, so be sure to clean and sanitize your hands before anything else. He started by removing the model's make-up using a Takkoza Cleansing Tissue, a water based type which removes any kind of make-up and tones the skin with just a swipe! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg355kgPiBK0V_d_wjizDXKYdG7Nqq8MtxnRU1hFotT7IPzOIAsBNI24QStsFj_2Tf3_dlV75RiGkW9pc8kyze977qau5t7g1mdHrV9Y_s2DQoehX0qJ7Uxm1poruk_NF3hTwChRxK23wR2/s1600/tcfs2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg355kgPiBK0V_d_wjizDXKYdG7Nqq8MtxnRU1hFotT7IPzOIAsBNI24QStsFj_2Tf3_dlV75RiGkW9pc8kyze977qau5t7g1mdHrV9Y_s2DQoehX0qJ7Uxm1poruk_NF3hTwChRxK23wR2/s1600/tcfs2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Upon finishing, he applied Sunday Block, a type of cream that moisturizes and also acts as a sun block and make-up base in one. It has a 50+++ SPF, which can help in protecting the skin and slow down the process of aging.<br />
<br />
After prepping the skin, he took a tube of their latest product called The Dinoplatz Cinema City CC Cream. It's a Color Corrector that's very light on the skin and has SPF 30PA++. It comes in just one shade but with three different multi-ball variants namely: A Concealer, a Cheek blush and a Highlighter. It's very handy and comes with a very cute design!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
He also dabbed a Blending BB Cream on the model's face before applying a bit of concealer for the under eyes. This BB Cream gives a dewy look, preferred by most Koreans.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
He took a pencil liner, applied it on the model's lids before proceeding to apply some eyeshadow and blush. He used one of their best selling mascara called the Dinoplatz Escalator Mascara. It's notable for its customizable bristle length with just a twist of a handle. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxobYM71xaAmWDmJgJodvLbbXMx0pXoUS2uG_et8zxywWRUTbqyjD65UIzw805-1nxzOtFBuFcugrz18OlToF5YGwTtz9mkLzSsEJDBgYbNRH-H-7lDImosdGatENKTlWhucXtGfFWvTj/s1600/tcfs4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxobYM71xaAmWDmJgJodvLbbXMx0pXoUS2uG_et8zxywWRUTbqyjD65UIzw805-1nxzOtFBuFcugrz18OlToF5YGwTtz9mkLzSsEJDBgYbNRH-H-7lDImosdGatENKTlWhucXtGfFWvTj/s1600/tcfs4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>

And lastly, the lippie and Ta Da! Here's the finished look of the model. The workshop ended within an hour. They also gave us our certificates and samples of their new CC cream (Yay!). <br />

<br />
After the workshop, I decided to look around their booth a bit more. I contemplated if I should get the Sunday Block (which I later regretted not buying), since that's what caught my attention the most after the CC Cream. But I ended up getting their Egg Mousse Pack, another best seller of their brand. I was suppose to get one when I first visited their store, but it was already sold out. Luckily during that day, I was able to get one.<br />

<br />
Their SAs encouraged us to take a picture with the dinosaurs, since there was an ongoing contest for their Pop-up booth. So I had a photo taken (by my boyfriend). I'm not really that good when it comes to poses, so I decided to just make a simple yet cute one: Feeding the dinosaur! I also joined their online contest which just ended yesterday and luckily, I won! (Thank you TCPS PH!) <br />

Of course, I couldn't leave their store without buying anything (since I have some cash to spare). I've been longing to try that Egg Mousse Pack. Finally was able to buy one. Their manager also recommended their Glam Rock Abracadabra Mask and lastly a refill of their Dinoplatz blotting paper.<br />

Dinoplatz is my most favorite of all their series. I love the concept of dinosaurs roaming around the city, so cuute! I hope they'd make stuff toys of these dinosaurs soon. <3<br />
<br />
<br />
It was a fun experience. It's my first workshop after all. I'd definitely want to attend another workshop with them if given the chance to do so. <br />
<br />
And of course, I'm not limiting myself to just them. I'd love to attend all the beauty workshops and seminars that I could, if my schedule would permit it. I'm a sucker for learning new things, regardless if its a technique, a new product or a new routine. <br />
<br />
Got any recommendations for a beauty workshop? It'll be a pleasure to attend such an event. <3<br />

<a name='more'></a>And somehow, that's one trait that is just too hard to change for me. I'm really trying, but it just feels like I'm hitting my head with a rock. I gotta admit that social media helped me boost my confidence a bit in more ways than one.<br />
<br />
Expressing one's self in different ways always help. One of the few ways that I do so is thru my hair and clothing. It's not that I want to be the center of attention. Actually, I hate too much attention. I just want to wear what I want and what I'm comfortable in. But it's just a bit different than the norms of this country. I also gotta admit that I do like how the Japanese people do their unique sense of fashion. They wear what they feel like or what they're comfortable in, and they'd flaunt it without caring about the world. I guess that's my inspiration ever since. Good thing my family and my boyfriend supports me a hundred percent!<br />

Anyway, just a few weeks ago, before they change the current titles, we decided to watch the new Godzilla movie (in 2D) on the big screen. I haven't watched all the other Godzilla movies yet, but I've been reading their plots online. And despite what some people has said, I actually liked this new Monster movie. Others might find it dragging, but I think the timing is just perfect. You can't expect a movie to just be concentrated on one character, right? This one not only gave us the monster's perspective, but also inserted a person's point of view and what they would have done in such a situation. And no, I've never thought of this new version of Godzilla to be fat either. I'll be looking forward for the sequel, since they're planning for a trilogy for this movie.<br />

I honestly have no idea who they are or what they specialize in. During the event, they were giving out free samples of their BB creams and Pumpkin Face Mask. Me, being the curious little lass that I am, took a few samples. But it took almost a month before I decided to give their BB Cream a try. And my, my, I'm glad that I really did took a sampler of their item.<br />
<br />
I initially wasn't expecting to like their BB Cream since upon seeing the cream itself, it looked a bit dark on my skin. But upon application, it had blended perfectly in my face. And I love that it has an SPF 37 PA++.<br />

This, of course, caught my attention. I wanted to try out more of their products, so I did my own research about them over the net.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/toocoolgirlph" target="_blank"></a><br />
<a name='more'></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/toocoolgirlph" target="_blank">Too Cool For School</a> is a Korean brand which was established during September 2009 by <span class="text_exposed_show">Todacosa Co., Ltd., a major cosmetic distributor in Korea.</span> <span class="text_exposed_show">Within a span of less than a year, they started opening branches internationally. Last April 10, 2013, they opened their flagship store in the Philippines at SM Mall of Asia. They opened their second and third branch at SM North Edsa and Sm BF Paranaque within the same year.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">TCFS likes to combine practicality and playful aesthetics. They're attempting to introduce new concepts of a beauty and lifestyle brand by allowing people to meet contemporary artists' designs in their stores and products. Basically, they just want their consumers to have fun!</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show">"</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><i>As such, Too Cool For School is a beauty
& lifestyle brand for the new generation. The name itself is also
unique, when you hear the word “school”, what first comes to mind is an
institution where students learn. But the word is rooted from the
meaning, “a group of fish”. In that regard, Too Cool For School is the
coolest among the group; being differentiated and unique. Too Cool for
School customers are the “dolphins among the guppies.”</i>"</span><br />

Situated at the second floor near the Cinema, Too Cool for School has an interesting boutique which looks like a laboratory. Honestly, during the time that I didn't know about them, I initially thought that this store was an art shop.<br />

Different products are placed in huge, open briefcases (really creative stuff). One of the things I love about TCFS is that they always have at least 2 sizes available for most of their products, either that or they have sachets or sampler sizes. For a person who's a bit anxious in trying out beauty items and skincare, these sizes can come in pretty handy! They can be used either for trying out the item or for travel.<br />

And of course, I couldn't leave their store without buying anything. Two of the things that I was planning to buy were already sold out (The Egg Mousse Pack and After School BB Foundation Lunch Box). Instead, I got the Glam Rock liner in blue, Dinoplatz blotting paper and Mcgirly Smoothing Pack. One thing that I've also noticed with TCFS is, whenever you've made a purchase, they'll make it a point to give you a sampler ( whatever sample is currently available) of any of their products. That day, I got their Rules of Skincare Pore minimizing Serum and Dual Primer.<br />
<br />
Too Cool For School is not your usual beauty and skincare store that offers the usual. They have a way of making a name on their own thru their products. Practical combination is one of their specialty. (e.g. BB Cream that comes with a highlighter and concealer!). The cool image and packaging is also a plus for most consumers, they're not the usual floral with pink types. Others might find their prices a bit higher than most Korean brands but this one gives a bang for your buck. <br />
<br />
I'll definitely try their other items soon. Will you? :3<br />

<a name='more'></a>Besides the food, the interiors are always a huge plus when it comes to bakery or pastry specialty shops. It helps to keep a vibe that customers will either love or hate. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VanillaCupcakeBakery" target="_blank">Vanilla Cupcake Bakery</a> is like a princess wonderland. Their colorfully asymmetrical decorations and furnishings are all made to compliment their sweets. They also have this atmosphere that just makes you wanna spend your whole day in their store and not complain about it at all (unless you hate sweets are anything that's too colorful). The people are very accommodating and always greet you with a smile. I never falter loving this place.<br />

I personally recommended their branch that was located at Bonifacio High Street since it really looked like a princess dollhouse just by looking at their shop-front. So we went together last month and decided to eat our lunch at the said place. Despite being a cupcake joint, they also cater full meals and drinks, Sadly though, not all of their branches serve all of these meals yet.<br />
<br />
I've already tried their 3 mushroom cream pasta (which was really delish!), so I opted for a different meal.<br />

<br />
This time, I ordered their Cheesy Lasagna, served in a rectangular container that seriously reminded me of my childhood when my mom used to bake dishes. The serving size, mind you, is just right: not too big nor too small. <br />
<br />
While waiting for our orders, my friend <a href="http://nendogamer.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">August </a>took out his dollfie named Yuki, a Volks DD Saber Alter. I'm seriously lucky to be friends with him since I have the privilege of taking tons of photos of his beloved little girl (and sometimes I even get to carry Yuki around * u * ). <3 <br />

One of the things that I've learned about taking photos of dolls is that they're very expressive, given the chance that you know which angle would be the best for them. It might sound strange for most people but, whenever I take photos of Yuki, it feels like she's posing for me. Like her eyes are looking straight at my phone camera, ready for the shot (Do I sound like a weirdo right now? >< ).<br />

But of course, it's not only August who bought his plaything. I also bought some of my toys, sadly though, I wasn't able to take that much good photos of them.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of my Danboards, my Super Sonico Figma and Mamegoma, being their playful selves. <br />

And lastly, before the day ended, we took a few last shots of the place, August also ordered a cupcake for him to try out. They have a lot of cupcakes to choose from. My personal favorite is the Choco Cream Pie. <3 But during that day, I decided not to order any cupcakes since I wasn't in the mood to eat sweets.<br />

At first, my friend felt a bit of discomfort. He really didn't expect the place to be this <i>feminine</i>, but later on, he began to enjoy the place. I think we hanged out for about..3-4 hours there. I wasn't able to take photos of some parts of the joint since there was a reserved spot for a mini party just behind our seat.<br />
<br />
Vanilla Cupcake Bakery isn't just your usual sweet place. It's a great place to hang out, even do shoots or reserve for a mini party or get-together. It's a lovely place for almost anything. <br />

Saw different products, others recommended by friends. I personally would have liked to try them all, but with a limited budget, I had to choose which ones to buy first and save the others for future purchases. <br />
<br />
Yes, this is my April to early May haul. Mostly are just small sized or samplers, because I'd like to test products before getting a full size. I have an oily skin and I do get breakouts easily so I had to be careful to pick items that will fit my skin type. Still, I guess one can say I'm an eager beaver when it comes to trying out things even though I'm a bit anxious about it. <br />

<br /> <a name='more'></a>I've read really good reviews from these items and so far, I've been loving some of them already. Personal favorites are Ellana's Make-up primer, Snoe's Awesome Poresome Serum, Too Cool For School's Glamrock Blue liner and Blotting paper and Wet n Wild's Cherry bomb lipstick. That's my second bottle of Etude's Wonder Pore Freshner, already a staple in my daily skincare routine.</div>

Since a lot of people still prefer buying foreign brands, I'm amazed as to how these local brands survive. (Thank god for beauty bloggers!). Take this one for example: Snoe Beauty Inc.<br />
<br />
I've first known Snoe a few years ago after seeing their stall at Robinson's Galleria. Initially, I thought they were just another brand from a different country until a friend of mine mentioned that they were actually made by a Filipina. Sadly though, during that time, I wasn't much into make-up and decided to just buy their Hard Candy lip color Strawberry Shake, mainly because I found it cute. It was a set of 3 different colored lipsticks that can be bought as a key chain. It was also being sold at an affordable price!<br />

<a name='more'></a>They started out with just a few stalls from around the metro. I was seeing them more often than before. No, they can't be found inside department stores. They're more of an independent brand, see? Few years later, when I started reading about beauty products, I stumbled upon this product again. I was surprised that after years, probably 2 to 3, they're still here and very active with more products for everyone! I read reviews on their items from other bloggers who tried their items. I was indeed very curious and wanted to try some of it myself. I gotta admit, what caught my attention most was their Hair Heroes product line. Being a person who had been dyeing her hair for years, I need a product that I can use to bring life back to my colored tresses.<br />
<br />
Coincidentally, just last week, me and my friend Val dropped by SM Las Pinas Center to look for a place to eat when we saw a Snoe store. It wasn't just a stall, but a whole store to themselves! I excitedly told my friend that we should check the place out.<br />

<br />
Snoe is also known for their unique product designs. So unique that you'd instantly think they weren't made from this country. My friend thought they were another Korean brand like Etude or Tony Moly. They have products ranging from make-up to perfumes to hair and skincare, even scrubs! Product prices range from 139php to 1400php.<br />

They have a testing corner where you can try some of their products. The SA offered to test one of their best selling sunblock on me: Here Comes the Sun Block Instant White Concealer with SPF 45. I loved the scent and how it didn't feel sticky and greasy like most sunblocks. It also gives you an instant whitening effect without looking too awkward (just be sure to spread it evenly on your skin, of course). And whats surprising is that, it contains Singkamas (Bengkoang)!</div>

<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">A little message from Snoe. :3</span></i></div>
<br />
As for me, I bought a bottle of their Awesome Poresome Pore Perfecting Serum and Hair Heroes Intense UV & Thermal Barrier Shield .I will be make a separate review of these two products after a week or so. I've only started using these since Saturday after all. There are still a lot of their products that I wanted to try, including their Here Comes The Sunblock SPF45 Instant White Concealer, Body Scrubs, and Soaps to name a few. <br />
<br />
All in all, Snoe isn't really just a local brand. It's a specially formulated brand, uniquely made for everyone's needs with a creative packaging, enticing scent but for a very affordable price. Despite being underrated, they are still trying their best to be at par with most international brands. They already have a name in the market, but I do think they just need more advertisements for the rest to know that they exist. Proudly Pinoy indeed! Kudos to the owners and makers of Snoe Beauty inc.!<br />

I've always preferred to celebrate on my own or at least buy myself things that I've always wanted to buy or go places that I've always wanted to go to or hang out. This year, I decided to celebrate my day by visiting The Mind Museum. It's considered as a first-class Interactive Science museum in the Philippines. Ever since it opened years ago, I've always wanted to go there but sadly, it's either I don't have the money or the time to do so. But last month (since it's already April right now) I told myself that I have to go there by March, whatever happens, my plan will push through!<br />
<br />
And lucky me, it did!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>After hanging out with our friend Dycee and her sister, Khal and I went straight to Taguig and looked for The Mind Museum building. Upon arriving, we bought tickets to the nearest time available, since this museum sells different types of tickets: Student or adult, 3-hour visit or a whole day type. We bought the 3-hour visit from 6pm to 9pm.<br />

In the middle of the park was a man-made steel tree art. Interesting piece! The place was peaceful, with a few people jogging or walking their pets.<br />

It's actually a good place to play with my toys. Will definitely go back here soon, already bookmarked the place.<br />
<br />
By 6:00 pm, we entered the museum and were welcomed by Aedi, a taking robot that gives the visitors an idea of what's inside the place and what you can do.<br />

We didn't have any tour guides inside (since I think they only use tour guest for field trips and other events) so we just explored the place by ourselves. There were no activities or shows during our visit either, which was actually kinda sad. But it was still cool. The building is quite spacious consisting of 2 floors. Each floor is divided into multiple areas with specific exhibits ranging from Atoms to the Universe to the Human Body and Technology. We decided to start with the first floor, interacting with each piece that we see. I was able to take only a few photos of the place.<br />

They also conducted mini presentations with different topics at a specific time. Presentations usually last around 15-20mins tops. The second floor is a little arcade-like are for the kids and kids at heart. You can wait for your turn and freely play any of their games there. Khal and I personally enjoyed playing Air hockey, and then we derped around the different kinds of mirrors.</div>

The night was still young and we didn't want to go home yet, so we strolled around Bonifacio high street and came across a concert of some sort, probably a fund raiser or something. But it was actually a group of soldiers! They were playing different instruments, and singing! They were really good at it too. They also showcased their kits and gadgets. In the middle of High Street were tables and mats of equipments of different types of soldiers, from rangers to rescue teams to bomb squads. People can even try out their stuff! I tried one of the ranger's bags, it was heavy, almost as heavy as my bag whenever I carry Khal's laptop with me to Manila. Khal tried out some of their big guns. I was tempted to do the same but I was too shy of the crowd. I forgot to take photos of their concert but, I did take a few of their equipments.</div>

<br />He was so nice that people can actually pet him. But I did pity him a bit since the crowd kept on taking pictures of him with their camera flashes on. I don't think dogs like that. I also took a picture with sans my phone's flash. </div>

The crew at Cold Stone Creamery were fun to watch. And it's not just your ordinary ice cream scoop. First, they will let you choose what flavor and add-ons that you'd like. And then, they'll mix your ice cream, add-ons and cookie dough and ta-dah! It's actually pretty good, until you realize that it's a bit too sweet before you even finish your cup of mix-ins.</div>

I love trying out stuff, seeing new places, trying new food joints, seeing new things. I do hope that it'll happen again, with Khal, with friends or even with family. I loved that day a lot. </div>

She's originally from Nueva Ejica so it's not everyday that we get the chance to see her, plus, she also just came back from a trip to Vietnam and was excited to see me and my boyfriend. So we decided to meet up and eat out at Shang.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Why hello there. Here's my face during the whole taxi ride to Shang. Sorry for the vanity of your truly. ><</span></i></div>
<br />
Sadly though, we were late by almost an hour so our friend, Dycee and her sister, had to wait for us. (I'm really sorry dudes!). But we already told her to look for a place to eat. Upon arriving, we decided to try out this Japanese restaurant called Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen. I was lucky because I was also itching to try this ramen place since last month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0O-2CS3qPvFXxuuweKJrX7cEBwawz-FH9LGkOF9fhGRZYNirhiVsR4sc3m5VsPWqf489vnfl07cRpBVdz6XfNsmlggYeVEqwteUO1QRtYUftXv_TUBjYBqQSpz6hCDsbbPHilqs2tne9T/s1600/ifr3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0O-2CS3qPvFXxuuweKJrX7cEBwawz-FH9LGkOF9fhGRZYNirhiVsR4sc3m5VsPWqf489vnfl07cRpBVdz6XfNsmlggYeVEqwteUO1QRtYUftXv_TUBjYBqQSpz6hCDsbbPHilqs2tne9T/s1600/ifr3.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen with a little mamegoma! <3</span></i></div>
<br />
Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen has been considered as one of the best ramen places in the metro. I don't think I've ever heard nor read any negative reviews about this place before (except for the service?). Pretty much like Santouka, but this place is more on ramen, not ramen sets, and specializes in Tonkotsu ramen and Chikuho noodles. You can actually request if you want your noddles soft, normal, or hard.<br />
<br />
So we went inside and checked their menu. I had a huge problem on which one to try first. Honestly, I don't know what the problem was with the service crew. Because during the time that we were there, they were able to serve us nicely and with a smile.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i> Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen's Chashu Tonkotsu ramen.</i></span></div>
<br />
I ordered their Chashu Tonkotsu ramen, served with three slices of
seriously delicious tender loin. I also requested that my noodles be
served soft. My boyfriend had their Kimchi Tonkotsu while Dycee and her sister had a bowl of AjitamaTonkotsu and Ikkoryu Original Tonkotsu.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> a closer view of this delectable bowl of noodles.</span></i></div>
<br />
The ramen was delish! I don't know what else to say! I would've finish the whole bowl if I could, but sadly, I can't. >< The tenderloin was perfectly cooked and the noodles were just right for me. A word of advice for anyone who plans to eat here: Eat your ramen while it's still hot, seriously, you'll enjoy it all the more. <br />

I've only started blogging again this year (despite making this site last year). But, this is the first time that I've blogged about things that I haven't thought of writing: beauty items and cosmetics. To begin with, I'm really not that interested in those things unless I needed it for cosplay. Still, I guess there will always be a time in a girl's heart that eventually, they will fall to the magical world of make-up. Now, I'm getting more and more addicted to the point of wanting to try almost everything. But, one thing that I've learned in this field is that one shouldn't go on buying everything that she sees. I'm scared that I might buy the wrong make for me, I'm an oily-faced girl and I don't want to go out looking like an oiled frying pan just because I bought the wrong make for my face.<br />
<br />
So before buying anything, I started reading other beauty bloggers. Seriously. They are very, VERY helpful.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
And one of those bloggers that I've religiously started following and reading is Ms.Martha Sta.Barbara, also famously known around the net as The Beauty Junkee or TBJ. I'm seriously lucky to have found her site because for people like me who's just beginning in this endeavor, all of her post are reeeally helpful!<br />
<br />
Now, she's celebrating her blog's 5th Anniversary with lots of surprises. Want to know more? Do check her blog by clicking this image link below:<br />

We first discovered Go-en during a Japanese food festival at the Festival Mall in Alabang. They had a booth there that sells kendamas. You can either try it out first or buy one. The booth-keepers were even nice enough to teach us how to play! And then they told us about their place. Ever since then, we were itching to try their food out.<br />

Luckily, this ramen place was very near my boyfriend's workplace. So just the other week, we decided to give it a try.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Go-en Ramen is a small distinct place at Sgt. Esguerra avenue. At first glance, one can notice their combination of modern and traditional motif. With Japanese style paintings and wooden chairs and tables surrounded by yellowish walls for a more modern look, but nonetheless, the place has this homey and cozy feels.<br />

One of the catchy parts of the place upon entering is their counter, wooden little booths with festive designs. Behind the door, you can see shelves of mangas. They're not actually for sale, but you can borrow them within the vicinity, since there's a seafood place and a cafe just beside their store. They're actually like a little library of mangas with titles like Paradise Kiss, Naruto, Deathnote, Fairytail, Bleach, Ao no Exorcist and a lot more. And for people who just can't read Japanese? All the mangas are in english. No worries there. :3<br />
<br />
Just a word of precaution though, do take care of the mangas that you'll be borrowing and be sure to return them to their rightful place. <br />

My boyfriend and I decided to sit in front of the bar. We always prefer to look at how cooks prepare our orders. In front of the bar, you will notice a shelve-full of Kendamas of different color and designs! At the center is a little television that shows how to play it.<br />

<br />
What exactly is a Kendama? Others might ask. Here's a brief description:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #666666;">"<i>A <b>kendama</b> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">けん玉</span> <sup class="t_nihongo_help noprint"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets" title="Help:Installing Japanese character sets"><span class="t_nihongo_icon" style="font: bold 80% sans-serif; padding: 0px 0.1em; text-decoration: none;">?</span></a></sup>, also written as 剣玉 and 拳玉)</span> is a traditional Japanese toy
which consists of three wooden cups of different sizes placed on the
center of a wooden spike, with a smaller cup at the spike's base and a
ball connected by a string to the center piece. In English, kendama may
be referred to as <b>ring and pin</b> and bears similarities to the classic cup-and-ball game, similar to the Latin American world toy known as balero. The principle of these toys are the same: catching one object with another, where both are joined by a string.</i>"</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #666666;">~Taken from Wikipedia.</span></span><br />
<br />
Kendama is actually fun to play with. It's like the yo-yo of the traditional Japanese, and there are also different ways of playing it. <br />

I had the Tsukemen Ramen or dipped ramen. It was my first time to eat this type of noodles. And in my entire life of eating ramen, this was the first time that I was able to finish a single serving. (yay!) I also had a bottle of Ramune, recommended to me by the waitress. According to her, its a Japanese type of soda commonly sold especially during warm Matsuris or festivals.<br />

In all honesty, there wasn't a dull moment in this place: you can either read or play with their Kendamas, or just simply enjoy their savory food.<br />

Don't be shy, they're a very friendly bunch! <br />

And though I've heard before that Beauty events do take place in this country, I haven't attended even a single one. Until now. I was actually torn at first - within that weekend, because there were two beauty workshops that was about to take place, The Shiseido International Beauty Fair at Megamall (which by the way, was held for 3 days) and BDJBox's Tres Chic event at the Samsung Hall, SM Aura. Both workshops were for free too. <br />
<br />
Even though I was really tempted with the Shiseido event, I decided to choose Tres Chic instead, since they were having a lot of booths and different activities, seriously, very inviting. They also have five different (and very interesting) workshops. In order to be a part of those workshops, you have to email them. Sadly though, since I learned about this event just a few days before it began, my email didn't make it to the deadline. But then again, I still decided to go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Upon arriving there, I was greeted with these pretty girls at the registration booth, gave me my pass and went inside. (My boyfriend was supportive enough to come with me, he even went inside the event even though he felt reaaally awkward about it, d'aaww). I actually didn't know what to do at first, the hall was already full of people and everyone looked really busy. AND don't forget that since this was my first beauty event, I was really confused and shy at the same time.<br />
<br />
But, like every event, there's always a golden rule: <u>Know where to go first</u>.<br />
<br />
I've long been planning to try out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/canmake?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Canmake</a>'s BB Cream and blushes and since they were also at the Tres Chic event, I decided to drop by their booth first.<br />

It was really tempting to buy a lot of stuff! I got their Perfect Serum BB Cream Light and Hyperslim Gel Eyeliner.<br />

I was also kind of expecting that they would be releasing their skincare line during that time, sadly, it was just for display. But they did mentioned that it'll be out this coming April. I'm really excited to try these babies soon!<br />
<br />
They were also promoting some of their products during the event, especially their High Cover Powders and Glow Fleur Cheek blushes.<br />

<br />
<br />
After getting my items, they told me to register<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>, </i></span>like their page at Facebook, and get the chance to win items from them. I was lucky enough to win one of their blushes: Cheek & Cheek 07: Orange Bouquet! The exact shade that I wanted! <3<br />
<br />
When I was looking around, they were having the workshop with Max Factor, who, at that time, gave their audience free samples of their newly released foundation. It sucks, kinda felt envious of those lucky people. >___<<br />
<br />
I went around and checked the other booths. The Benefit
Porefessional booth seemed closed or something. I kinda felt too
shy to check their items, which I think, are inside these briefcases.<br />

Though I've heard of this particular brand, I haven't read anything about their products. But what caught my attention was this cute vendo machine-like box from the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/toocoolgirlph" target="_blank">Too Cool For School</a> booth. When I decided to check this out, the lady in charge of the booth told me that I can give them 1 to 3 php and she can give me samples of either their pumpkin sleeping mask or their bb cream. Since I'm intrigued, I told them that I'd like a sample of both. I inserted my hand in the black rectangular part of this "vendo" and got my samples. Cute concept!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/curephil" target="_blank">Cure Aqua Gel </a>also had a booth in this event! I wasn't suppose to drop by since I already have been using this product since late last year, but, what the hey!<br />

<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> So many bottles of Cure Aqua Gel!</span></i></div>
<br />
For those who doesn't know, Cure Aqua Gel is a very effective and very safe face exfoliant that can also be used for other parts of the body. It can be bought at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BeautyBarPH?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">The Beauty Bar</a> for 1,500php.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was also suppose to drop by Revlon's booth but decided otherwise when I saw their very long line. >< Same goes for the Bifiesta booth. TT ___TT We left the event afterwards since I didn't know what else to do and decided to just hang around BGC.<br />
<br />
For a first timer, one of the problems that I encountered was this: What to wear on such occasion? In all honesty, despite being biologically female, I'm not the most girly person out there. Aside from my hair being uncommonly colored, I have no florals nor pinks or whatever dresses that I could wear on this event. The only advice that I got from most people is this: Wear what you're most comfortable with, because it doesn't matter what others would think anyway. Best advice ever!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I decided to just wear my knitted cross sweater and a skirt.<br />

All in all, beauty events aren't really that bad. I guess I just have to get used to these things if I'm planning to dwell more in the world of make-up and skincare. And maybe I should try to be a bit more assertive and carefree in the other upcoming events rather than feeling like an oddball. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Despite being there for a really short time, I enjoyed the event. It feels different when you're surrounded with these things. Kudos to <a href="http://bdjbox.com/" target="_blank">BDJ Box </a>and all the participating brands of the Tres Chic event!<br />

I'm not an eyebrow enthusiast, since I've got reeeally thin eyebrows. But, to achieve a better look, you need to fix your eyebrows. Since I'll only be needing a tester, I decided to get this retractable eyebrow pencil, Winmax by Daiso Japan. Bought for just 88php!<br />

I got the dark brown shade, mainly because it was the only shade available. I haven't tried this yet since I need to look for tutorials. So I'll be putting this aside for the moment.<br />
<br />
And since I was at Daiso, I also decided to buy myself this eyelash curler in blue. :) <br />

I was having a debate of my own, weather I should get a Shiseido or a Shu Uemura one because of all the reviews that I've read, but like what I've said before, I'm still trying to practice with my make, I got a cheaper alternative.<br />
<br />
I'm an awkward person when it comes to lipsticks. The only thing that I've applied on my lips are either a lip balm or a lip gloss, though I'd prefer the balm over the gloss more. A lot of people had already told me to try out wearing lipstick, the pinks and reds would suit me best, as what they'd say. So I decided to get one just to see if I'd change my mind about lipsticks.<br />
<br />
It took me almost an hour to choose one though. I went to Etude and tested almost most of their lipsticks and tints. But I wasn't able to find one of my liking. I ended up with a lipstick from ELF. <br />

ELF lipstick in Voodoo, a bit darker shade of red. I actually loved it the first time I tested it. Like I said, I'm not a lover of lipstick, but this is another exception. It can last for about a few hours, depending on the wearer. For me though, this usually last around 4-5 hours, unless I'm on the mood to lick my lips. It's a bad habit of mine, really. Also, I prefer to wear it using a lip brush since I can control the shade more than applying it directly.<br />
<br />
One downside of this lipstick, is the container. Unfortunately, the part where the lipstick meets the container is a bit wobbly, so you have to be pretty careful when handling this one.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been wanting to get a brush ever since I bought my Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder. As per most reviews, powders are better used with a brush rather than the puff. Since the brush would spread the powder more evenly to your face.<br />

<br />
But one thing that I didn't expect is that, the good types of brushes are all pretty expensive! And it's hard to practice all the brushes in the set at once. The first time I saw a set, I got confused instantly. That's way I decided to buy a few and practice one at a time.<br />
<br />
For now, I bought ELF's Complexion brush for powders and blushes and the Angled Foundation Brush for liquid foundations, concealers, BB creams and such. <br />

This is the first time that I've used brushes for my make so I can't say if these brushes are the best or not. The bristles are soft enough for me to spread my make-up evenly. <br />
<br />
Since most of what I've been using are waterproof makes, mainly the eyeliner and mascara, I needed a make-up remover that can easily remove these waterproof products. I first tried using IN2IT's make-up remover cream. Since it's a cream-based type of remover, it moisturizes your face as it removes your make. Though, the downside is, it makes your face waaay too oily for your liking. And I've already got oily skin to begin with.<br />

<br />
Maybelline Make up Remover Eye & Lip is one of the best ones out there. I've only used this once and I'm already liking it. This one was able to remove all the waterproof liners from my eyes cleanly and everything else on my face without the oily feels. This is a real must buy product!<br />
<br />
And with every make-up set, there must be a corresponding everyday travel kit. I was able to get this cute little pouch at Daiso Japan for only 88php. Seriously cute little thing. <3<br />

their reviews of different make-ups. As a person who's got a very
oily face, and someone who doesn't like to spend too much on make-up
that might end up getting wasted, I'd prefer to check all my
resources first before buying anything that I will be putting on my
face.<br />
<br />
But, whatever others may say, experience still is the best lesson
that can be learned. And one thing that I've learned so far, based on
all the reviews that I've read, is that, regardless of whatever
you've read online or the recommendations that you've gotten from
other people, there will always be no assurance that what you're
getting is the best for your face. Of course, make-up has always and
will always be a risky business. Whatever you put on your face, on
your body and on your skin is always a risky business. But, then
again, with make-up, you can learn how to be creative and artistic in
your own little way, with your face as your canvas for the whole
world to see.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, I've decided to start my own journey with make-up and
skincare. Like what I've mentioned in my previous post, I never
really had a routine for my face up until a few years ago. I dropped
by the mall just last week to do a bit of hunt for brands that I
wanted to try.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>Let's start with the pore primer. As what the Saleslady at Etude
House had mentioned, Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer is one of their
bestsellers. It can help minimize your pores (hence the name) and
make your face look more even. Coincidentally, it's also part of
their Wonder Pore line - I'm currently using their Wonder Pore
Freshner right after ever wash, and I'm absolutely loving it!<br />

<br />
<br />
I've already used this item twice, and this is what I can tell
you: It's true that it can make your pores appear smaller than the
usual and it can also make your face look even or feel more smoother.
I can't assure if it can help your make-up last for a whole day
(since I haven't worn my make-up for a whole after buying this), but
for half a day, yes, it did. But, it didn't help to lessen the oil on
my face.
<br />
<br />
<br />
I needed to practice applying eyeshadow, and I don't think getting
an expensive palette set is a good idea. So I decided to just get a
basic set. I didn't expect to get this particular set though.

It's also very handy,
you can fold it in the middle and carry it everyday. It also comes
with a mirror and a little eyeshadow double ended brush.<br />

I haven't used any of these eye shadows yet so I can't tell if
they're sheer or glittery or if they can last. But it is very worth
it if you just want to use it for practice.

Like the pore primer, I wasn't really suppose to buy this but
this particular blush from Etude House caught my eye. Etude seriously has their own ways of making people buy their items, the cuteness is pretty uncanny, reminds me of Canmake or Majolica Majorca but with a more pop and color.<br />

Etude House's Water Color Blusher is a pretty catchy item, I mean, a blush? In a small tube that can be mistaken as an acrylic tube? Size is pretty small though, but it's perfect for traveling. There are three colors available at the store: No.1 Strawberry Pink, No.3 Apricot and No.4 Lilac. I chose Apricot out of the three other colors, since it's not too pink nor too orange-y, and I find the color perfect for summer.<br />

The cap can be sealed enough that the blush gel wouldn't come off and spill on your things. Also, since I can't read Korean, I had to look for other people who had reviewed about this. As what they had mentioned, this is actually a gel type of blush, not cream like what I had initially thought.

It actually feels light and creamy, and spreads easily and evenly to your skin. It also looks pretty natural too. I'm not a lover of blushes, only have 1 more mineral powder blush that I bought from Avon, and I've only used it twice. But this one is an exception, I actually am liking it a lot. And it seems like the type that I could wear everyday (that is, if I do wear make-up everyday, to which I don't.)<br />
<br />
The downside of this product is that, you can't control the amount of blush that you can squeeze out from the tube, so you really should be careful in using it and it can only last for hours. Though besides those reasons, I'd still buy this blush.<br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of eyeliner, particularly, the liquid-type. I've been using In2it and even tried Shawill. They're actually good brands, even for me, as long as I use an eye primer before applying it. I haven't tried using any pen-types or gel-types of eyeliners, so this is actually a first. I wanted to try out Dolly Wink first, since it's really recommended by most of my friends. I already had a set bought from Taiwan at Sasa, but since it'll arrive late this summer, I decided to try out another brand. I was initially planning to try out In2it's gel liners but I stumbled first in front of the Majolica Majorca. <br />

Majolica Majorca's Linehunter caught my eye. It's actually one of their newest items. And I was lucky enough to get it for a 100php less. For the whole month of March, they're slashes off a hundred for any items worth 400php and up. <br />

I tested it out myself. With one stroke, you can see the thinnest line and with a few more strokes, you can make a more thicker line. The Linehunter is also sweat and sebum proof, and contains essence to treat the eye area. I actually like it a lot. I prefer liners that can make thinner lines or strokes. I'll try to compare this the Dolly Wink liner soon.<br />
<br />
I love liquid liners the same way I love pencil liners. I prefer using pen for the lower part of my eyes since for me, it's easier to control rather than a liquid-type. That's why I consider having one as an essential part of my make.<br />

For the past few year, Nichido is one of the few brands that I first discovered on my own. The very first eyeliner that I've ever used is from Nichido. I like their pencils a lot, until I've tried In2it. Now though, I've went back and tried their Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx. This is one of their products that made me deeply disappointed. It didn't last that long and smudged after a few hours. I've no plans of using this one ever again. :/<br />
<br />
I'll be making a part two of this post for the lipstick, eyebrow pencil, brushes and others since this is getting way too long. See you in a few. :3<br />

<br />
I can't remember when I started to care about my face. Since high school till college, I've only used the common body bath soap to clean my face - no creams, no toners or what. I've tried an astringent though. When puberty struck, it hit me hard. I had tons of pimples growing on my face and I was so insecure about it. That's when my sister told me to use an astringent before I go to sleep. I followed her advice till I noticed that, yeah, the pimples did lessen, but it didn't leave my face. Up until now, I still have some of those pimples growing on my face whenever I'm really stressed or when my period is about to start. <br />
<br />
Honestly, I only started using make-up when I was about to graduate college, and I only know how to use a pencil eyeliner, no foundations or blushes or lipsticks. Just a plain pencil eyeliner. As embarrassing as it may seem, I started to learn how to use make up
more when my second ex suggested that I should wear it everyday to make myself more beautiful. Knowing me, I'm a pretty lazy person, and I thought that wearing make up every day would actually be a hassle for me, so I just did the easiest make up routine: eyeliner-face powder-lip gloss. There were differences but it was a less hassle routine for me.<br />
<br />
But well. Being a girl, I eventually needed to learn how to use make-up properly. And, using some make also means that I need to learn a better way to care for my face. So that's two things already: Make-up and Skincare.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>So I decided to do a bit of research on how to care for your face and what's the best make-up for someone who's got an oily face like me. Based on what I've read so far, the best way to care for one's face is to drink plenty of water, have adequate rest and sleep aaaand eat a balanced diet. And so, I already failed the rest and sleep and balanced diet part due to my very unhealthy work life. But I do drink lots of water everyday. There's also those products that can help you achieve a much smoother face, like facial wash, mask, moisturizers, toners and such. Believe me, choosing which ones are the best for you is the hardest part. You have to consider the sensitivity of your skin, if you're oily or dry and if it doesn't cause any outbreaks.<br />
<br />
As for me, I've decided to stick to the facial-toner-moisturizer routine. I also do a twice a week facial scrub. My favorite is St.Ives' Apricot Brightening Scrub. Works wonders, really, until I've heard of Cure Natural Aqua Gel, a Japanese exfoliating product. It's a really good item, if you'd ask me, you could actually see the dirt off your face in seconds. As for the brands that I use for my routine? Honestly, I'm still trying to experiment with which brands are the best for my face. I don't really have a sensitive skin, rather, I've got the most oiliest face you've ever seen. ><<br />
<br />
As of the moment, I'm using Clean and Clear's Clear Fairness Cleanser. I've already tried a few other facial wash, but so far, this one is the best for me. I have plans though of trying out Etude's Happy Tea Time's Green Tea Facial Wash, since it specializes for oily faced people like me. As for the toner, I've already tried Nivea, Gluta Advance and Clean and Clear but I still want to try other toners since these brands didn't satisfy my needs. As for moisturizers, I've been using Olay's Natural White Day Cream for almost a year and it's an okay cream, but still not the perfect one. I've decided to try out Hada Labo Gyujkun Lotion for a month now but I think it only made me have more break outs, so I decided to go back to using Olay's cream.<br />
<br />
So. Just last week, I decided to try splurge a bit on my facial needs. This is a pretty rare sight since I usually don't do these kind of shopping on a monthly basis.<br />

<br />
I've heard of <a href="http://www.etudehouse.ph/" target="_blank">Etude</a>'s Wonder Pore line last year and got intrigued by it. But I didn't get the chance to try it out up until now. Just last week, I bought a 250ml bottle of <a href="http://www.etudehouse.ph/" target="_blank">Etude</a>'s Wonder Pore Freshner (it comes with a 250ml and 500ml size). I was suppose to buy the bigger one, but despite all the reviews that I've read, I'm still pretty scared if this is really worth my money.<br />

As for make-up, I still am on the hunt for the perfect brands for me. It's really hard and yeah, I know there's no such thing as the perfect type. But it's really hard to know which ones would make you look good or would just make you look like a colorful clown. So I'm carefully looking for products and reviews, I've also been asking my make-up expert friends on which ones that they could recommend. Right now, I've decided to try this out: <a href="http://www.canmake.com.ph/Home.aspx#sthash.dm4LPGfX.dpbs" target="_blank">Canmake Tokyo</a>'s Marshmallow Finish powder. I was able to find one at Glorietta 2, Somera. A friend of mine told me that she had saw this store selling some Canmake products so I decided to check it out, and I was lucky because they had the perfect shade for me, Matte Ochre (MO), and it was the last stock too! It also promises to have an SPF26 PA++ perfect for the sunny weather in my country.<br />

<br />
It comes with a puff but based on the reviews that I've read, it's better to use a brush rather than a puff since there's a tendency of using too much unwanted powder. Now that's one thing that I have to figure out before using this product. <br />

<br />
And look at just how fancy its design is. I'm not really used to having fancy-looking make-up, but, I guess it can't be helped, since most of the make that comes from Japan have fancy containers. <a href="http://www.canmake.com.ph/Home.aspx#sthash.dm4LPGfX.dpbs" target="_blank">Canmake</a>, by the way, is a Japan-based drugstore type of make up that's currently trying out the Philippine market. I actually want to try some of their other products. <br />
<br />
<br />
The one advice that I have for everyone? Research, Read and Experiment! It may be scary at times, since despite what it says, you don't really know what it's effect would be on your skin, but, at least you'll be able to test it out first. Also, if you're not sure, don't jump on the biggest bottle or container that the product has. Take advantage of trial packs or the smallest size that they have. It doesn't hurt to be careful since it's your skin that we're dealing with here.<br />
<br />
Maybe next time, I'll do a review, who knows. <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So I started the year with a trip to the beach with my friends from AAP (Anime Alliance Philippines.) It was pretty much a sudden outing since they were planning to go to
Baguio in the first place. But due to the lack of time, we ended up
at Zambales instead. To be honest, this is actually my second time to
go to this place. We stayed over my friend's resort called The
Harvest Resort – to which we joked around on, since our friend
Michael had mentioned before that the resort's name is The Harvest
Moon. (For people who doesn't know, Harvest moon is a console game.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The place hasn't change a bit since
last year. It looked really scenic, and it was so quiet and the air
was so fresh. It was really a perfect place for someone who's been
under a lot of stress from work.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since my boyfriend and I wasn't able to make it to the meet up place at Quezon City by 3:00 PM, we decided to commute by taking the bus to Zambales via the Victory Liner in Cubao. Some would probably hate such a long ride, but for me and my boyfriend, we actually enjoyed it. It was a six (6) hour-long drive from Cubao to Iba, Zambales. During that time, we watched the movie that the Bus Conductor played - Mark Wahlberg's Lone Survivor. Besides that, we just talked about a lot of things until we reached our destination. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Iba, Zambales, We rode a non -airconditioned bus to Candelaria. I was seriously shivering during the whole one (1) hour bus drive. I was already wearing Khal's thick parka, but nonetheless, it can't beat the night's freezing air. After reaching Candelaria, we took a trycycle which drove thru this narrow and dark street to the resort. Unexpectedly, we arrived by 11:00 PM, 40 minutes ahead of our friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When everyone else arrived, we all, went to our respected rooms to fix our bags and stuff. While everyone else were resting from the long ride, Michael, his cousin Mike and the others decided to use the leftover fireworks from last year's New Year.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">The following day, we all decided to drop by a nearby island called Potipot (or Patipot ). It's a 5 - 10 minute boat ride from the beach to this place, a white sand, virgin island (as they would like to call it) that doesn't have any electricity or cottages. One would need a tent if they intend to spend the night there.</span><br />

We spent around two (2) hours walking around the island. I was actually trying to look for those small hermit crabs, since the first time that I was in this island, there was a lot hermit crabs running around and hiding.<br />
<br />
The only catch in this place is the trash. The thing with people who spend the night in such places, they don't have the discipline to bring their garbage with them. They'd leave their trash in the island, like they own the whole place. :/ It's really a waste since this place would have been better being clean and all.<br />

We spent the rest of the day relaxing. While the others slept, we played around the beach a bit before the day ends. We had to travel back to Manila by 8:00 - 9:00 PM. Our travel back to Manila was way faster, of course, with our leader and demonic driver Michael behind the wheel.<br />
It was a one (1) day, two (2) night mini vacation. I'm really hoping for another repeat, I mean, I need vacations like this. Vacations spent with friends and loved ones and away from home and the city.<br />

As for Zambales? It's always a -to go to place for me. The six (6) hour drive is worth it. I will never get tired of this place.<br />

tweaked the sidebar a bit. I'll be adding an “about me” tab soon
too. Starting this year, I'm going to make this place, more
up-to-date. Do expect a little bit of everything on this blog, since
I am a very random-minded person, I will be putting more than just my
lifestyle. Hopefully, I can express myself more here.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Anyway, It's officially the first month of the new year, 2014.
Time flies really fast, sometimes, its way too fast that you don't
even notice the small things and fun things that you're missing out
on. As for me, I think this year has been one heck of an event. I was
able to do things that I barely did or have never even done from the
past years. I bought things that I never thought of being able to
buy. I tried new things too and learned things, both good and bad. I
was able to learn a lot of lessons in life, accept things and
eventually, I matured even more.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This year, I want to make more memories. Meet new friends, do more
things, explore more places. Add more stuff to my collection of
things. And I'll be using this blog to show my progress.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So guys, please do stay tuned! :3<br />

But I will try to update this one as much as possible with the help of my new phone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I haven't been able to update my old one since I was too busy with work and sleep. yes, seriously, sleep. I wasn't getting enough sleep because of my work. Don't forget that I also don't have an internet connection in my apartment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided to get a better phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3 to be exact, a phone that can suit my net surfing needs and texting needs at the same time. And with this phone, I can post stuff on the go, really does suit my lifestyle indeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">This site is still on a renovation stage, but despite that, I still will be posting some stuff. Try not to mind the fugly face of the owner of this site. And by the way, I'm not really a photographer, but there are certain times that I like to take pictures of random things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, I will leave you now with this picture. tataaah~</span><br />
