So um-yeah! I finally decided to go ahead and push through with my plans to go here and explore the opportunities that awaits me. Thanks to my brother and his girlfriend for the unending support and guidance. As well as to my cousin and my boyfriend for helping me out big time.<br />
<br />
As you know, being the eldest child entails bigger responsibility as a daughter/son and as a sibling. Whatever happens one needs to stand up and support your parents during hard times.<br />
<br />
Leaving the country was a big decision for me. It was VERY HARD because I have to leave a good job, my family behind and the LOVE of my life. We have to experience a lot of crying and arguments just to make it for us easier to let go. I've always wanted to let go of him so as not hurt him or make it difficult for the both of us. But, this person never gave up on me. He promised me forever and I am holding on to that promise.<br />
<br />
I will be sharing with you a lot these coming days. I will try to show you how I started my life here in DXB (Dubai). Might be giving you some tips and the latest happenings here.<br />
<br />
So bear with me as I try to compose everything for you guys to absorb. :)<br />
<br />
Let me know what you wanted to know about Dubai and I will try my best to give you a point or two. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last saturday, Parents and I were invited to attend the blessing of a friend's house at Canyon Woods Tagaytay. We don't have a ride so we commute our way there. Let me share with you how to get there. ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Option 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
#if you will be coming from sta. cruz manila area, you can either take:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- jeep bound to pasay rotonda/Gil Puyat/Libertad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- lrt </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- bus passing by gil puyat</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
#Once at gil Puyat or Buendia station, you will have to find Mang Inasal and Jollibee, you will have to cross the street to go to the other side where bus stations bound to batangas/lemery. OR you may take the BBL bus (not sure of the name). Just make sure it is bus bound to nasugbu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
#tell the driver to get you off at the welcome arc of nasugbu. there are tricycles and fx that you can ride on. For tricycle, for 3 person 50 pesos and will bring you at the gate but not allowed to enter. Fx/van can enter the residential resort at the exit gate. (that was what we're told).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not sure of the other ways to get there! please feel free to suggest.:-)</div>
</div>Sugar and Spice, but not everything is nice~http://www.blogger.com/profile/02490108749126830011noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909441863566208951.post-22154749084598977732012-05-01T04:40:00.001-07:002012-05-01T04:40:32.959-07:00Issue: Cover up of the ugly side of Metro Manila<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we all know, tomorrow (May 2, 2012), meeting with the ADB representatives will be held in our country. According to the news, local government units' busy covering up the small community of informal settlers living under the bridge and/or near dirty rivers. As of the moment, i believe that there are already huge built in walls in those area which will be passed by ADB reps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally, i think that the government shouldn't cover what is essential to be known to the ADB reps. They should have an idea of the reality hidden behind those walls. Government is so funny to come up with silly short term solution to make it appear that country is okay. I believe it is about time we be smart and intelligent as well as responsible enough to choose our government leaders to handle our country. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
what do you guys think?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is always that times of the month wherein we, ladies, are in so much agony when it comes to dealing with our periods. Early symptoms of menstrual period includes pimple breakout, bloated tummy (and sometimes i think even my face seems bloated/chubby), moody/irritated for no reasons and basically you'll just have this paranoia that you have it already. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above mentioned are what i usually experience, i am not sure though of the other ladies. :-) What i do is i keep track of my first day and last day to know when the possible day i will be having my monthly period on the next month. Whenever i see drops of red stains, i immediately take pain reliever such as alaxan, dolfenal or mefenamic to avoid suffering from the pain of dysmenorrhea. Before i learned about this, i suffered extreme pain in my abdomen that even my knees and legs weakens simultaneously. Midol was introduced to me but i still feel tremendous pain so i began taking other pain reliever. It works for me that i took the medicine prior to experiencing the pain. Mas mabuti na yung unahan mawala yung pain before pa dumating yung sakit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of our worries pa is the sanitary napkin or pads that we use. Of course, we are so dead anxious of the stain, the appearance of the pad and the odor. When i was still young and my mudra due to her thrifty nature settled to low cost napkins had me stayed home or changed pad thrice a day. I am so worried of being embarassed due to stains or what we usually termed us "tagos" here in the Philippines. Add up to our anxiety is the bulkiness of the pad, as much as possible we don't want to other people to notice that we are wearing sanitary napkins right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well gone are the days of this bloody anxiety, thanks to New Modess Cottony soft for heavy flow. :-) i just love the fact that unlike other maxi pads that are so thick, this thin maxi pad can absorb the leak and its wings help in securing side leaks. The size of the pad is good enough to cover the front and back leaks. You can hardly feel that you are wearing a sanitary pad because of the comfort. And no need to worry with the odor because the pad itself is scented therefore reducing the bloody odor of our leaks. I am truly loving this pad and i am a fan. So if you are looking for great pads, try New Modess cottony soft, the one in purple/violet packaging.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So you are a commuter and about to work to the high class city Mckinley Hill in the Fort Taguig City, exciting right?! However, there is one problem bugging you and that is the means of transportation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't fret anymore, because thanks to mrt, lrt, fx and shuttle we can now have an easier time to get our butts to work at the very posh Mckinley Hill, Taguig. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you'll be coming from Manila (particularly tondo, sta. cruz, quiapo, binondo), you can take LRT 1 then get off Edsa station, transfer ride to MRT Station. Buy your P10.00 worth MRT Ticket (tell counter that you'll get off Magallanes station). After Ayala station is the Magallanes station. Get off the train at the Magallanes station, go down and walk towards the San Lorenzo Place showroom. The showroom is just at your right side. you'll get inside this San Lorenzo Place compound and will find a bus and fx terminal boind to Mckinley. You will have to buy a ticket for P20.00 each then wait in line. As per those guys in charge in ticket selling, effective May 15 or 25, 2012 (not sure of the date, please let me know if it is 15 or 25 :-), ticket fare will be P25.00 due to increase in operating expenses, terminal charge, etc. By the way, a shuttle driver advised me to buy the pad of ticket for P100.00 because it's cheaper and by buying the pad each ticket will appear to cost P15.00 only. The fx/shuttle will drop you off Accenture, Piazza, Oneworld square and you can inform them to drop you off British Embassy Manila and Korean Embassy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please be reminded that the shuttle bus trip bound to McKinley is till 11:00am only but the fx operates 24 hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be at the lrt and mrt station early to avoid the huge crowd as well as get to the fx/shuttle bus terminal earlier and avoid the long queue. :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have any more suggestions, let us know. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
thank you so much!</div>

Like what i have mentioned in my previous post, i got two tickets by winning <b>Meg's</b> promo on face book for this much awaited fairy tale fair. I wasn't able to attend the 1st day of the fair which was held last Saturday, April 21. 2012, wherein the highlights are the beauty skin care talk by Mr. Bo Ram Kim; Beauty advice by Ms. Ning Hilario and Fashion advice from Mr. Levenson Rodriguez. I heard a lot about the activities on the 1st day so i really decided on attending the 2nd day (<i>which is also the last day of the fair</i>). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the 2nd floor of SM The Block Atrium, you will find a huge pink castle facade in the middle with a huge crowd of young ladies. I was super excited to see what's going on so i claimed my tickets and registered my name as well as my friend, Rox's name. Once you are inside you'll see their graffiti wall full of messages written by their supporters and attendees. I got to write my own message for Etude too! :)</div>

The place was indeed full of young ladies, middle age women and some gents who are all busy checking the goodies prepared for them. I walked around and saw on one corner- you can take home cute prizes by joining and winning their games; behind the graffiti wall is the facial cleaning and make over section; near the games corner you will find the photo booth with the pinkish and girlish background ever and at the other corner, people are flocking to get loads of pink cotton candies, pink popcorn, <b>Selecta Cornetto</b> Ice cream and <b>Tous Les Jour</b> pink macaroons. </div>

I decided to grab a chair as the host, Ms. Earth Philippines 2007 <b><i>Jeanne Harn</i></b> dressed in cream colored thin straps dress, welcomed the crowd and mall goers to the event. She looks like the Bossanova Singer, <i>Sitti</i> and overall, she was able to handle the program well and didn't bore the crowd whenever she's on the spotlight. Opening remark was given by the President of Etude House Philippines, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Ms. Andrea Amado</i>, who is also very fair and pretty in person. She thanked the attendees and their clients for the support of the two day event as well as the success of their facebook fan page. </div>

Aside from the Skin care talk, a talk about Power dressing workshop was given by <b>The Fashion Academy Manila's</b> <i style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Levenson Rodriguez. </i>He mentioned about dressing appropriately for the occasion, being confident on what you wear and to always think of what you are going to wear before you go out so that you'll get used to it. He also advised that two of ladies must haves are beige colored heels to make their legs appear longer and thick belt to make your body looks longer. He said that there should be confidence and mystique in your aura, and for me the bottom line is it is not about the price or brand of what you wear, but how you carry yourself and handle yourself in different situations. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A year after my last process of NBI clearance, here i am again getting a renewed one which is a significant requirement for some matter i am currently dealing with. Before, if you have the green NBI Renewal Clearance ID, it would be a breeze getting it, you just have to go to NBI Clearance center, look for their kiosk, insert your renewal id, insert payment and prepare for photo capture, biometrics then whoala...your clearance will be printed out and ready for around 10 minutes. But nowadays, it's back to the old procedure requiring you to wait in long queues and take the whole process for more or less three to four hours. NBI doesn't have that kiosk anymore and as per news, they said that it didn't renew the contract of the company.<br />
<br />
Anyway, i chose to go to Robinson's Otis because as per friend's advice, few people go here for their clearance unlike the other clearance centers found in other Robinson malls where they have to go as early as 6:00am and wait in line. So since i am very confident that i'll get my clearance within four hours, i went there around 12 noon. Please be informed that the office hours of NBI is from 10 am to 7 pm during weekdays and saturday. Coming from Santa Cruz, Manila, i took a jeepney ride bound to SM Manila- at the other entrance of SM Manila (the one near KFC and Krispy Kreme), there is a bus outside bound to Pandacan. You tell the ticket boy to drop you off Robinson's Otis. Bus fare is P12.00. When you arrived at Robinson's Otis, go directly to the 2nd floor and in front of CDR King-you'll find the waiting area. If there's a long queue, you'll find people seated/standing in queue waiting to be called in group by the NBI Staff. (Might as well bring something that will entertain you while waiting for your turn.) Forms are distributed by the NBI Staff. And by the way, don't forget to bring ID's (Previous NBI Clearance, Company ID, SSS ID, PRC ID, etc.,)<br />
<br />
Details in the form are stated below:<br />
a) Personal details such as:<br />
- Name; Birthdate; Present address; Nickname; Sex; Civil status; Place of Birth;<br />
Highest Educational Attainment; Occupation; Contact number; Email address; Scars/marks;<br />
Height in Feet/cm; Weight in lbs/kg; Religion; Complexion; Name and Birthplace of spouse;<br />
Name and birthplace of mother and father<br />
<br />
b) For those who are Aliens/foreigners (additional information are needed):<br />
- Passport or ARC Name; Address Abroad; Passport number, date and place issued;<br />
ACR number, date and place issued<br />
<br />
An NBI staff will signal your batch for your turn to proceed to the Lingkod Pinoy Center (NBI Clearance center) area, which is just in between Pick n' Save and Home decor. You will now have to go through the <b>FIRST STEP- PAYMENT</b>, pay processing fee corresponding the purpose of the clearance. I took a photo of the fees listed on a paper near the cashier/payment counter.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
After payment, counter will provide you official receipt and will sign your form. Then you may wait or proceed to the <b>SECOND STEP- ENCODING</b>, you have to provide your signed form then as the encoder inputs your details to the system kindly check the monitor facing you so you'll know if he/she encoded it correctly. Like mine for example, this lady forgot to include the first name of our street on the address field and jumped to the birth date field, told her that she forgot to add it, she didn't respond, she filled the day and month of my birth date and again called her attention. She said, "SANDALI LANG! kelangan ko munang lagyan ng information tong birthday mo bago makabalik sa address. Hindi ako makakapagtype sa address ulit pag di ko natapos tong birthday mo. Tingnan mo!". Then she click on the address field and whoala, she was able to see the cursor and typed the missing info. She embarrassed herself and i just said, "ohhhh really!" :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So anyway, after encoding you will now have to proceed to the <b>THIRD STEP- BIOMETRICS, </b>here you will have to submit again your form and official receipt to the person in charge, and you will be asked to scan your right hand fingers first (<i>you'll hear yes- if the scan is good; hear no- if you have to repeat it again</i>), then your left hand fingers. Last part of the biometrics is the photo capture, wherein you just have to move backward a little and smile/or not. :) The form will now be maintained by the biometrics person-in-charge, while your official receipt will be returned to you for the last step. If you don't have any date written at the back of your receipt then you are lucky because you may now proceed to the <b>LAST STEP- RELEASING</b>. Wait for your surname to be called and receive your NBI Clearance with smile on your faces. However, for those who have numbers written at the back of their official receipt, it means that they can get their clearance on that date This happens because there are other persons who have the same name so lucky for you if your name's unique- they called this "HIT". If you have that kind of situation and you don't have a chance to get your clearance personally, you may authorize someone to get it for you on the date indicated at the back of the OR. Have that person brings your authorization letter as well as a photocopy of your ID when he/she claims the clearance for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I arrived at 12:45 pm and finished at around 4:15pm, and that's because there are quite a number of people that day who processed their NBI Clearance. So if you want to get it earlier, might as well be there earlier too. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope i was able to give you the information you need, if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to share.</div>

Just got lucky! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They say that if you do something nice/good to others without expecting anything in return, you will definitely be blessed. That exactly what happened to me. I think i have been so helpful earlier today at the NBI Clearance Center and was blessed with a good news at home. I received a message from <b><u>Mega Publishing group</u></b> in facebook informing me that i won two (2) tickets for the Etude Playhouse Pink Fair 2012 after joining their promo in Facebook wherein you have to share their photo of the event and write that you want to enter the Playhouse then mention Meg Magazine. (<i>fyi, Meg Magazine belongs to Mega Publishing Group)</i>. This two (2) day event will happen on April 21 and 22, 2012 at SM City North Edsa The Block Atrium. Registration begins at 1:00 pm and program starts at 2:00 pm on each day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am thrilled and just too excited for this two-day event because one - they are not revealing what's in store for the participants, so definitely the mystery is making our excitement grow bigger, two - it's an event headed by the leading Korean cosmetic brand in the Philippines, none other than, <b>Etude House</b> and in cooperation with <i>Meg Magazine</i>, <i>The Fashion Academy</i>, <i>Selecta Cornetto Disc</i>, <i>Tous Les Jours</i> and of course, the event place, <i>SM The Block</i>. And lastly, i know i am going to enjoy these two days because the Make up artists and beauty consultants of Etude House will be there, so their advice will surely be a blast. In addition, i heard that there are lots of activities to watch out for and one of which is the awarding of the Pink Artiste Contest winners which will happen on the 2nd day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will definitely share in my blog all the activities and happenings on these two-day event and i hope to meet a lot of new friends there. So watch out for my next post about Etude Playhouse Pink Fair 2012. :)</div>

I never knew where Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte is until my brother, his friend Marlon and I were so fortunate to be invited by one of the owners of Arinaya Beach resort in Pagudpud. We traveled by bus for 12 long hours and i tell you, i am really not fond of travelling because i can't stand the long hours of sitting (Butt, back and legs hurt!). We had few stops for dinner or pee breaks and be in awe for the beautiful sights of each city we passed along the way. I was so eager to see if the travel was worth it and i can't stop asking my seatmate if we're already in Ilocos Norte. It was around 5:00 am when we reached Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte's Saud beach, we were so amazed of the beautiful, vast, blue water of the beach and the powdery, white sands are truly comparable to those of in Boracay, that we immediately ran towards the water like it was our first time to be in a beach. I returned to our cabin after i realized that i have to apply sunblock on my arms, legs, face and neck to avoid the damaging effects of the sun's heat. Good thing, mother dear allowed us to bring her Nivea Sunblock lotion and sunscreen. Morning breakfast was served and i have to say that Ilocano foods are very unique, delectable and a must try for all visitors. I had the opportunity to taste the Ilocos made Empanada, Ilocos longganisa, Bagnet and their soup with little fishes. Seafood and vegetables cooked in Ilocano ways were also served during lunch and dinner.<br />

Our host took us to amazing swimming spots in Pagudpud, so don't worry because you are not just limited to taking a dip in the vast blue Pagudpud Saud beach. One of my all time favorites is the Blue Lagoon or Malingay Cove as known to locals. This enchanting lagoon changes its water color to Light Blue and Green. The water's clear and refreshing that you would just want to stay bathing for a day. There are no resorts, hotels, crowd of people in party spirits nor stores/commercial establishments found in this place, so you can really have a lot of serene moments while sunbathing or have that much needed relaxation away from the civilization. Only few people gets to discover this lovely place and if when time comes that people will start flocking in this place, i hope they would still preserve the natural beauty of the Blue Lagoon. </div>

Who wouldn't love swimming in cold, clear, flowing water under the scorching heat of the sun? Thanks to Agua Grande for giving me that cool bath i am so used to. Don't worry because the water is not that cold, if you are thinking of extreme cold temperature. Aside from the cool water, it has this picnic area and their own version of infinity pool (<i>only it is not the ordinary infinity pool some urban resorts have</i>). Thumbs up for the magnificent sight of the South China Sea. As you see on the photos, running water from Aqua Grande goes down to the South China Sea. It was just me who was so scared of falling off the edge and preferred to stay to my safe place and missed a whole lot of beautiful scene down there. </div>

One of the tourist spots that you shouldn't, wouldn't and mustn't missed is the Bantay-Abot cave. At first i was surprised why Raj brought us there. I was asking him what is so special about this cave. As we got off the car and marvel at the beautiful mountain with a hole, no word came out of my mouth. There was just too much excitement to find out more about this huge structure. We were asked if we want to go inside the hole and check out the view, and of course, we were excited so we just nodded our heads a lot of times for approval. While on our way to the mountain with a hole, Raj told us to move faster because when high tide comes it would be very dangerous to climb the mountain. Sweat and difficulty in climbing faded when we saw the view of the place from the cave, hear the echo of the wave from inside the cave and explore the design of the interior. I said to myself, i found a picture perfect spot and grabbed my chance to have good shots at this majestic place.</div>

I often see my mudra dear (term i used to call my mother. "<i>MUDRA</i>" is a gay lingo for mother) applies lotion thoroughly on her body, moisturizer or sunblock on her face and neck, and a whole lot more. And i am just there at the corner, curious and wondering why she bothers so much on putting all those stuff on her. So one day i came up to her and told her my concern while she was applying her sunblock onto her face. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wanna know what she did? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She pointed these freckles-looking brown spots on her face, and then she brought her arm close to mine wanting me to compare the two. Her arm looks healthier, shinier and smooth, while mine's dry, not smooth compares to hers and white but no glow. I felt a teeny weenie envy coz yes, i am whiter than she is, but her skin looks healthier. And when i say healthy skin, it is smooth and glows. Unlike mine, which is dead white. :-/ She told me that i<b> </b> should start religiously apply lotions, moisturizers and sunblock to avoid regreting all the damaging effects of pollution, heat of the sun and sun rays. Asked her what products she uses, opened her closet and saw numerous nivea products from whitening, moisturizers and lotions. One avid fan of Nivea she is.</div>

My vote for the Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2012 title still goes to Maryl Jean Lastimosa. Last year, she placed runner up to the said pageant and as she competed this year she was unfortunate to place on the top 5. Nevertheless, she went home with special awards such as <i>Binibining Avon</i> and <i>Binibing Philippine Airlines</i>. She also was one of the top 12 semi-finalists who participated the question and answer portion. Personally, i think that she wasn't able to give a direct and precise answer but she was able to provide a good answer. It's just that i think there are other semi-finalists who were able to provide and deliver interesting good answers that wowed the crowd and the judges. Overall, MJ did a great job with the whole pageant. She carried herself with confidence,oozing sex appeal, owns a to die for voluptous curvy body that i have to say she should be the winner for the Best in swimsuit (she nailed that segment!), she has great stage presence and a very exotic beauty.(which we can battle with the latinas).</div>

Oh well, have Mary Jean Lastimosa join the Ms. World Philippines. I am sure she has a huge shot!<br />

<br />
Question: <i>What do you think is the most pressing problem of the world today? And how do you, if you could help solve it as a beauty queen?</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
Mary Jean Lastimosa's anwer:<br />
<br />
<i>"I believe that one of the pressing <u>problem</u> of the world today is that people with their curiosity sometimes may harm them, and i believe that through <u>pheriferal </u>... peripheral listening we be able to solve this problem. Curiosity in a right way of using it could lead us to knowing and that knowing could lead us to learning. Thank you"</i><br />

I am not a fan of Nicole, however, i just have to say that she is truly confident, a standout and very intelligent during the pageant. She handled the question and answer portion in a very witty, confident and elegant manner. Her answer is also very relevant to the question and she gave a very personal and intelligent one.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So for the past four months i have been using this mascara product my cousin from Dubai gave me. I am really not a fan of Black Mascara because i prefer just the transparent one. I have blue colored mascara but i used it twice for special occassions. Going back to black mascara, i am too hesitant coz of the mess during application and inconvenience in removing it. But those perceptions changed when i started using Nitro Canada Mlascara Pulse Perfection Vibrating. Yes, you read it right! It is really vibrating. The vibrating effect caused ease and thorough application of the product to the lashes. Aside from the convenience in application, the product helps thickened and lengthen the eyelashes so no need for falsies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The top of the mascara is where the vibration comes from. From top, the vibration will travel to the tip of the brush. The mascara applicator is different from usual mascaras. Nitro Canada Mascara is 4 in 1 - it is waterproof * Last longer * enhance volume of lashes for more thicker looking lashes * lengthens eyelashes for a more long looking lashes.</span><br />

Pronounced as boos-tee-yay, this form fitting garment gives you nothing but the sexiness and confidence to flaunt the woman figure you got. Before, it was just worn as an innerwear but nowadays we can already wear it as top matched with girly skirts, denim shorts or topped with cool blazers. I've been seeing a lot of online bustier sellers and they got same designs, but we girls look so much for fashion and we always want alternatives or improvements. Luckily, i stumble upon the page of Ms Laureen Uy and found her promo for BOOSTEEYAY. :-)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I checked out BOOSTEEYAY's account on facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/boosteeyay" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/boosteeyay</a> and here are the cool, girly bustiers stuffs i saw. From colorful designs of bustier dresses, tops and swimweat, they also have cool pretty skirts. And mind you, these stuffs are up for grabs for a very affordable price.<br />

<br />
In this lenten season, i dedicate this photo to us all who have sinned, forgiven, healed and joined the company of God.<br />
<br />
i am totally in awe with what i have done in this masterpiece. I know not all will agree but for me this is a masterpiece.<br />
<br />
Taken at Arzobispo de Manila, i was having my seminar for the lectorship when i noticed this cross at the farthest corner. I asked myself, why is this image put in lthat kind of a place. Silly but i thought that maybe Jesus Christ was pretty sad sufferin in that corner. I took this shot and edited it. i love it, no matter how it looks, i still love it.<br />
<br />
This Lenten season let us join Jesus Christ in his sufferings in payment for our sins. It is a long vacation for many but let us not forget Him.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a rainy saturday and mudrakels called ate tita (our reliable manicurist/pedicurist) to have her nails polished for tomorrow's event. It's elleian (my niece to a cousin) birthday celebration. :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Originally it was just mudrakels who is going to have her nails done, but thank God for the good mood coz she treated me for a pedicure. Thanks mother! I always always like my nails in bright color and as much as possible enough to make a good impression coz my feet aren't that beautiful and they look manly. So today i brought out my Bobbie Nail Polish in VAMP and asked ate tita to use that shade. I love the color coz meron siyang nakakaputi factor. Aside from that ang relaxing ng colors sa mata and unlike other shades of red mas decent yung pagkared niya. Bobbie Nail polish has a wide varieties of nail polish shades and not just that, very affordable and the polish lasts longer. You dont have to worry din sa pagdry up ng polish coz unlike other nail polish it doesn't dry once stored for a long time. Kasi sometimes we worry how to store it, afraid na baka magtuyo kagad. i experienced that sa other nail polish and super sayang (such a waste diba?!). So Below are the photos of Bobbie Nail Polish in Regular VAMP.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
BLEU NUIT Professional Make up's Blush in Bubble Blush shade is one of my treasured cosmetics coz i bought it myself for a very high price. As you all know i am very much a kuripot when it comes to stuff but for food i do spend a lot. For 65 rmb (renminbi) i got this blush during my work/travel stint in Beijing, China. Mind you, there are a lot of international, high end beauty products in the China markets and i have realized that Chinese women are not hesitant to spend so much for beauty and fashion. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bleu Nuit (blue night) Bubble blush gives me the natural glow. It's cream gel form makes it easier for me to apply and spread it evenly unto my cheeks. Sometimes when i am in a hurry, i skip the powder blush and just use this blush. Perfect matte finish that last longer than powder blush and leaves a hint of sparkle rosy glow. I have been using this blush and i can attest that it didn't cause any allergy. I just totally love the packaging, texture and scent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not sure if we already have this brand in the Philippines but once it penetrates the local market i am sure it is gonna be a great buy!<br />

I am pretty sure you have seen the performance of the Half Filipina AI contestant Jessica Sanchez of the song, "Sweet Dreams". And you will definitely agree with me if i say that she looks so chic and classy. From the cool hairstyle, very stylish dress, beautiful make up, her undeniably powerful voice and lo! her accessories. Mind you, while she was singing i was focused on her right hand coz of the eyecatching accessory.</div>

A highschool batchmate posted some accessories on her online business page and i noticed these cool rings. Out are the small, basic rings; what's in right now are these very chic, big rings that are so vintage-y! <3</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am very fortunate enough to received a wonderful present from a very good friend, V. She loves make up, good food and everything beautiful. I got a CLINIQUE Chubby stick moisturizing lip balm in 07 Super Strawberry. To be honest, i am really not a fan of anything branded as long as i am comfortable wearing or using it. After using this lip balm, i stopped worrying about chappy, dried and pale lips. Aside from being moisturized, you also get to have pretty natural rosy lip color. Just enough hint of red that would not distract any onlookers. I often use this lip balm (that lasts a long time) whenever i am in a rush for a meeting coz i don't have to put on a lipstick, a gloss and a moisturizer. It comes in a very chic tube so whenever you party out and brought a tote, you can just bring this lip balm to make sure that your puckers are still at its best throughout the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may buy them at any beauty counters for P920.00. It also comes in different shades, and i will try my best to get a hold of the others and make a review on each.<br />
<br />
Grab one now and tell me your experience. <3<br />

We always see her everywhere- on television, big screen, magazines and billboards. Anne Curtis sure has one of the prettiest faces in the Philippines. Even with her crazy antics at "It's showtime" on ABS-CBN where she is one of the original main stay, it is undeniable that whatever she does she still is beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And maybe these photos are just one of the few photos wherein she got a little wasted and ended up looking like this, but what the heck, she is pretty anyway. Except of course for the make up and her mouth in these photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So what do you think of her photos?</div>

It is one hella hot mistake to be caught on body hugging clothes and dark colors which they say the darker the color,the hotter it is. So this summer, it is advisable to stay away from neutral colors like black and gray, and go for pastel colors and orange too!<br />
<br />
For this outfit, picture yourself on a friday and excited to end the work week and have a good unwind on a friday night with your beau.<br />
