Now I am by no means an expert at makeup. I, just like thousands of other girls, go on YouTube and watch numerous tutorials over and over again until I can somehow "master" a certain makeup technique/look. I never really cared much for makeup before I started hosting events and having little stints on TV. For me, baby powder and brow powder was all I really needed (and I actually believe these should be staples in anyone's makeup kit). It's amazing how a few videos on YouTube can get a person hooked.

Finally deciding to up my makeup collection and really learn how to properly (and decently) apply makeup, I started saving up for makeup brushes. I never realized how EXPENSIVE they were until I started canvasing. P 1800 for an eyeshadow brush? P 2,800 for a powder brush? Synthetic vs real hair? Mac vs Sigma?

... wait REAL hair???? Ain't nobody got time fo that!!!

Luckily, due to my YouTube addiction (seriously, they need to put up some kind of rehab because I am speaking like a girl from a Youtube video on most days and I think my family and boyfriend are starting to "unsubscribe" to me if you know what I mean HAHA... Huhu :'( ) I came across a couple of brands that seemed reallllyyyyy good quality and were a fraction of the cost of a Mac or Sigma brushes.

Now if you don't care much for makeup or brushes, then you can skip this entry cause it'll just bore the pants right off of you. But if you're like me, and are looking to start making investments in the makeup department (parang bahay/big life decision lang noh? Haha) then hopefully this entry can help you. :)

Made this myself YAHOOO!!! #learnin Haha

So I'm sitting on my desk, staring at my screen with the biggest smile on my face as I type this. I don't know but even with everything that has been happening lately, from personal problems to traffic, to the negative news on TV and weird weather, I can't help but be, happy.

I guess in order to survive this life, we really need to learn to just be, well, happy. So I thought about a couple things that I've been doing that me become less annoyed/sad, and just happier. Hopefully this can help you reevaluate things and maybe try to be happier instead of letting life's challenges get you down. :)

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd blog today seeing as I'm sitting comfortably on my couch like a chubby piglet with my trusty nose pore strip on (ever since I started buying these I've been addicted, I honestly think they're the best things EVER) and I've been able to fully process everything that happened yesterday.

A month or so ago, I was invited to speak at the UST BlogCon 2014. Now, I had never ever been invited to speak about my blog anywhere, so I was a little hesitant at first to say yes. I did end up saying "Yes" (parang proposal lang noh?) because:

1. I love the UST community (I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of UST students and alumni and they've been nothing but sweet and amazing)
2. It was an honor to even be asked to speak at a school planned event (considering I don't even consider myself a "legit blogger")
3. It was something new for me to do (bucketlist, check!)

Hello to the wound on my foot! Haha

Last week, after 5 gruelling days of not seeing Nics (he flew to Tacloban and Cebu for PBA games and team commitments) we finally went on our much awaited date to Resorts World.

Now let me first point out that Nics and I tend to fall under the category "Creatures of Habit"- we like staying in or going to malls near us (he has basketball training really near my house) to watch movies, eat or get massages. Very rare (and I say this in all honesty, without any exaggeration) do we go to Makati, let alone the MOA/Resorts area for dates. This trip in itself was an adventure for us already.

Hey guys! It's been quite a while since I've last blogged and I gotta say, A LOT has happened since then. Please expect this to be quite a rambly entry... but with a point!



Lately I've been finding myself struggling a lot with where I see myself going career wise and what I want to do with my life. I know it's such a funny thing to hear from someone who a little over a year ago said that she was "set" on a certain path and was hoping for the best. Maybe it was my mid-life crisis coming in a bit early? Who knows. All I know is that I just have those days where I feel uncertain and down and I know a lot of you out there feel the same way sometimes (So hopefully this helps in a way).

I was struggling quite a lot the past few weeks. I'm not going to lie, they were brutal for me. I would get up, go about my day and wait. Wait for another hosting gig to come up. You know that saying "If it's right for you, then it will be yours"? Well, that phrase was definitely being put to the test in how I was feeling. I love working and I love keeping myself busy so when I get a little idle, I tend to go crazy. I know it's weird, but, you guys know how I am by now (I worked two crazy jobs last year to prove it!) With all this being said, I just want to show you guys how our prayers and hopes do not fall on deaf ears. The Lord listens. He listens to us no matter what sins we've committed or how ungrateful we've been. He proved this to me this entire week. He answered my prayers. :)
