ready, set, go!

there had been a bit of a change in this little lady's teeny life (not without a wee bit of drama, of course. but that's another story). i think i should get ready for adventures ahead - may it be trying out a new resto, memorizing the whole of megamall, going out with friends, or getting lost in ortigas. i already started today, actually!

1. went to Mass in my new favorite church.

2. tried chef choi for lunch.

3. tried cocktales (yes, it's spelled that way) for my snack.

4. looked for (and found) the megamall exit closest to my house.

5. finished reading a 135-page short story in 2 hours without the lights on.

i wonder what's next?

hep hep hoo!

powder? liquid!

i've been doing something brainless for the past year. i've always used powder foundation on my face (using a damp sponge). but i have uber dry skin (which is a real hassle). why didn't i think of liquid foundation earlier?

i'm loving Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup! it's not creamy. it's really liquid-y so it suits my skin type and it feels really light. it is a bit weird though because it's color white with black microbeads, unlike other beige/cream/bronze/tan foundations. but when you apply it, those microbeads adjust to match your skin tone. o ha? "wooaaahhh nagiging brown!" haha :)) plus it already has sunblock for extra sun protection. however, if you're a fan of heavy makeup, the sheer coverage may be too light for you.

another liquid foundation that i tried is shu uemura's liquid foundation. what can i say? shu is always nice :)

woot new fave artist!

tiffany eugenio a.k.a. tiffyiffyiffy sings some of the best covers i've heard. she creates her own piano/guitar versions of hiphop/dance-y songs. and voice is awesome too. magaling magaling!

my current faves so far are her renditions of Sweet Dreams (Beyonce), 4 Minutes (Madonna & Justin Timberlake) and Suffocate (J. Holiday). 

i truly hope she makes it big. see her other vids here! :D

24 hours isn't enough

this is one of those times wherein you wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. here's the picture: of course, there's the full time job that i have. and unfortunately, the project that i'm in is so toxic, i'm almost embarrased to leave the office as early as 5:30pm (my shift is 8am to 5pm). so there are times (not always though) that i leave later than usual.

then there's practice for the presentation for the company christmas party.

then there's my other job (without pay, btw). i'm not complaining though. but it does take up a large chunk of my time too. especially now when there are several events lined up and the boss goes "wag ka muna umalis", which means staying for 2 more hours.

then the gym. i can't not go to the gym. if i skip gym for a long time, i get irritable and sluggish. 

then there's christmas shopping. still a lot on my list!

then there's doing the grocery, vaccuming, laundry, scrubbing, taking out trash, and a pile of clothes waiting to be ironed.

what about meee? my needs? my social life? so little time for sleep! little lady needs to recharge her batteries. little lady wants to watch television. little lady wants to spend time with friends and her cute little nephews. little lady wants to watch a movie. little lady wants to buy gym clothes and dresses. little lady wants to go to the beach. little lady wants to read a book in a coffee shop. i want a "do nothing week" please! haha! don't get me wrong. i am happy. just need time to breathe a little :)

17 days before Christmas, everyone!
