Hello Friendships!!!

Nag iisip ako ano nga ba ang dapat ko idagdag pa yung food saka na lang kasi ang dami kong ngutngutin hehehe pero yan muna sa ngayon.

1. Dolce and Gabbana Desire

I am in love with this new scent I discovered in duty free, lasting ang scent and nagiging powder yung amoy nya, my husband loves it too on me. Perfect sya sa medyo formal and romantic dinner, basta ang sosyal ng amoy nya,,,, Magamit nga mamaya, will meet hubby later eh hehehe...

2. Dolce and Gabbana Shades

I love it here sa Europe di gaano kadamihan ang pinoy na nakakasalubong ko hindi ako naiilang masyado mag shades hehehe,, saka di uso ang payong at pag uminit mainit talaga, kaya super may reason to wear shades not for porma lang but mainly for protection talaga to the sun. Alam nyo naman di ako nabiyayaan ng matangos na ilong kaya frustration ko talaga mag suot ng shades hehehe,, I was victim kasi ng pangungutya before ng pango at pangolo hehehe,, sabay may kakanta ng tayo'y mga pinoy tayo'y hindi kano wag kang mahihiya kung ang ilong mo ay pango hahahha,,, 2 lang shades ko yung sinusuot ko dati na Dior kaya lang ako nakabili nun kasi nung pupunta kami sa Thailand, and nauso yung mga cat eye shape na shades kaya triny ko kung uubra hahaha,, and kahit pango feeling ko bumagay naman hahaha (pinilit talaga)

Baste kiber ko na lang hahaha basta magshashades ako hihihi!!! =)

3. My Pink Long Champ

Long Champ bags for me are very useful, ang dami ko nalalagay at worry free sa scratch or dumi, kaya I love long champ talaga plus ang dami nilang colors, and this bag being pink made me love it even more. =))))

Thank you Ladies for letting me share my current favorites. See you soon. miss u all. mwah!!!

Di pa ako makareply sa comments, AC, Diane, M, Edelweiza and Rem, pero maraming maraming salamat sa messages nyo!!! love you all!! =)

My Current Creamy Favorites

Hi sisters!!!

How's life? Been quite for a week na, Im definitely good and a lot of blessings are pouring on us,, Thank you Lord! =)

Our weekend was spent with a lots of quality time together, we just realized that we spent most of our past weekends with friends and we missed our alone time together. I am always in my happy mood nowadays simply because I can feel the spring coming!!! hooray!!!

Let me share you the two things which make my day more beautiful.

This tiny tube from L'Occitane is doing a great job on my hands and I love love love the flowery scent, I am finishing my first tube which is the pink one with a rose scent,,, super super love ko toh.

This is a brown cheese,,, super yummy nito. I eat this with our very own skyflakes,, hehehe,, this is my merienda, sometimes my lunch, and midnight snack hehehe,, walang kasawa sawa hehehe,,, I wish norway is just very near to Philippines (not sure kasi if we have na this in our home country), kung pwede nga lang iabot sa screen ng laptop eh hehehe. I really want to share this with my family and friends,,, super sarap nito. =)

Hope you had a great Monday!!!

Pang Kikay Lang =)

Good morning Friendships!!! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. =)

I am a bit sad kasi talo ang Ginebra, fanatic lang hehehe, if only I can share here the video that my husband took while I was watching ginebra game months ago, hihihi!!!

Anyways, I want to share you the kikay stuff I hauled from our recent trip. We only bring clothes for the next day because we really planned to buy na lang clothes and even underwear wala akong na pack kundi yung pang next day lang. I just did not have time and energy to post the clothes na puro best buys. I bought some dresses na 6-12 euro lang, i took the opportunity na talaga kasi pag may gathering ang mahal dito ng dresses at mas mura pa din kesa sa asos saka yung recent na purchase ko may tax pa din, leggings na tig 3-7 euro, and blouses na 4-10 euro, like itong suot ko dito sa picture na ito 10 euro lang from Zara.

zara (10 euro), pants I bought in their dept store (12 euro)

Zara blouse (12 euro), ito ung nakasama sa nawala ko, kaya 2nd time ko ng binili sya, like ko kasi yung print

Bershka Blouse (4 euro), I bought some of this kind na tig 4 euro lang, kakatguwa di ba.

Nakabili din ako ng jackets na sale din =)

I am ready na for the future months na walang shopping ng damit hehehe, and without worrying kung may isusuot ako o wala =)

Oh well, ito na aking mga pang paarte =)

from L-R: Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, Clarisonic Mia 2, Clarisonic Extra Brush, Clinique Deep Comfort Body Lotion, Longchamp Bag, Urban Decay Naked 3, Urban Decay Eye primer (free from Naked 3), Mac lipstick in Morange, Martini Asti (wala lang arte lang kaya naisama sa pic), Zara shoes

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu: Versace Bright Crystal is my favorite perfume nasa SG pa lang ako, and I am happy that they created it in Eau de Parfum which has longer lasting scent than the old bright crystal and I just learn that lotus flower also contributes with the flowery scent of it =)

I bought this 90ml perfume in the airport for 719 nok, when I saw it here found out that the 50ml is selling here for 650 nok, sana pag naubos na sya timing na may dadaan sa airport para makabili, laki ng difference e.

Clarisonic Mia 2: It is included in my post 5 Impractical Wants, hubby is really a spoiler =), I am super happy with this kahit di ko pa sya nagagamit hehehe,, mahilig ako sa pag wawash ng face sobra, bought it in Sephora for 149 euro plus the extra brush for 25 euro minus 21% tax refund =)

Clinique Deep Comfort Body Lotion: From the past months I never experienced yung parang nagbabatakan yung skin sa pagka dry which results itchiness lalo sa parts ng back ng legs ko, actually nakita ko lang ito sa airport na nakasale for 179 nok hehehe,, go na ako try lang if ok. 

Longchamp Bag: finally nagkaroon ulit ako nito, ang mura lang nya sa airport ng amsterdam 57 euro lang, kailangan ko kasi talaga ito kasi wala akong everyday bag, tapos umuulan ulan pa dito kaya kailangan ko talaga ng waterproof na bag.

UD Naked 3: Mentioned this in my previous blog post, still untouched medyo takot lang akong galawin sya hehehe, gusto ko lang syang titigan =) 

Mac Lipstick in Morange: I like orange color now for my lips, nakaka bata lang ng konti hehehe,, like ko din sana si Candy Yum Yum very pink sya pero no budget na hehehe =)

Zara Shoes: Sobrang sakit na ng paa ko sa boots na suot ko kaya basta kinuha ko na lang ito sa nakasale may size 9 kaya gora na, at take note 9 euro lang din sya, ang light at comfortable sa paa, I doubt nga lang kung magagamit ko yan dito baka sa summer pa. 

Martini Asti: wala lang chorva lang, pero ito yung favorite kong champagne,,, tsalap tsalap =)

Super late na pala, time for me to sleep. Happy Sunday!!! =)

5 Impractical Wants =)

Hello mga kapatids,,, How's your day? =)

My mind is very active on imagining beautiful things but very impractical to purchase, siguro pag sobra sobra na ang pera ko saka pa lang ako makakabili nito o kaya pwede one of them as a reward sa 52 week money challenge hehehe,,, sa ganito talaga ako pag feeling ko deprived este frugal ako hehehe,,,

1. Voluspa Candles

                                                                  photo source here
Super bango ng candles nila,,, I would really want to have this kaso pricey for a 500nok tapos candle lang pero ang heaven ng scent talaga, sarap ng ganito sa house, very relaxing at nakakasosyal ang amoy =)

 2. Clarisoni Mia 2

photo source here

I love cleaning my face as in mahilig ako sa facial wash and scrub, mahilig din ako magpafacial pero since ang mahal dito I didn't attempt to visit any spa parlor, actually I can categorize this as practical thing kasi mas malaki pa din ang savings kesa magpa facial di ba, kaso I have other things to prioritize kaya sa ngayon kamay ko na lang muna panghilamos,, pero sana mapag ipunan ko to,, I really want to have one.

3. Fuji Film X100S

photo source here

I am jealous to other bloggers na ang gaganda ng pictures. I want a camera na compact pero mala dslr ang output. Actually di ako techy kaya I just ask my husband to research for a good quality camera na cute lang hehehe,, pero budget wise e last on my list ito dahil mahalia sya hehehe,,, my phone camera will do at the moment hahaha! =)

4. Heima Sonja Desk ( a blogging desk)

photo source here

I just want a blogging desk similar to this and a nice and comfortable chair too, but because we have only a tiny space baka di ko maachieve ito kahit makakita pa ako ng mura. I realized na iba pala talaga pag may working table sa bahay kasi sa singapore yung room namin may table ako e, favorite na spot ko nga yun, i miss that table kahit simple lang yun we bought it sa isang furniture shop lang sa singapore nung 2007 hehehe bagong dating pa lang kami noon I remember na uso na ang laptop nun pero we chose to buy a desktop kaya namin nabili yung table na yun hehehe and it served us well until umalis kami sa SG iniwan na nga lang namin kasi di naman pwede madala hehehe,

5. Matstone Slow Juicer

photo source here

This is my most priority among the others because Health is Wealth ika nga. I really want to have this juicer, pricey(?), yes but I want me and my husband to be healthy. Mahilig ako sa juice e pero di ako mahilig yung fruits na kakainin pero pag jinuice na sya gusto ko hehehe ang arte lang ba hehehe,, problem lang is I need to order online at takot ako sa tax pag pinaship.

Kayo, any nice things in mind? Masarap din mag muni muni ng mga bagay na gusto natin, nakaka inspire din at nakaka happy hehehe...

Enjoy! =)

Maybeline EyeStudio Natural Impact

Hello friendships!!! 

There was a lot of christmas parties I've attended last year, I am a blouse/pants/shorts kind kaya everytime I heard semi-formal or there's a dress code I get panicked agad, luckily my ninang gifted me a curling iron kaya if you will noticed naka curled ang hair ng lola nyo mostly hehehhe,,, hair(semi checked), sa dress naman I was lucky to find a mega sale hehehe alam nyo na kuripots aketch (checked), make up... yan eto na hehehe,, I only own 2 lipsticks, 1 brown eyeliner, compact powder, lipgloss,, actually I am happy na kaya lang gumana ang pagka arte ko kaya I asked my friend how can I achieved yung natural eye makeup, parang eto lang sa pic hehehe

yung para lang maenhance di ko naman pinangarap yung smokey eye kaya she told me to find ung mga earth color na eyeshadow, and I did find this Maybeline EyeStudio Natural Impact, I was very happy kasi sobrang cheaper sya sa pangarap ko na Naked pero kasi hindi naman talaga ako mahilig at marunong kaya nagsettle na lang ako dito saka 4 colors lang sya di na ako malilito pa at may instructions pa saka mainly reason talaga is nagtitipid ako hehehe,,, magastos pag December!!!! 

That night when I came home, I tried it na agad,,, I carefully followed the instructions at the back

But sad to say, sobrang naging messy nya na parang di nadefine each color,,, I was very disappointed, such a waste of money sana dinagdagan ko na lang ng konti yung pinangbili ko at bumili na ako ng better quality hayzzzz,,,, Heniweys okies na din, I just used ung 3 or 4 na eyeshadow para di lang masayang but still not happy with it wahehehe,,, 

no 1 lesson learned hindi lahat ng pagtitipid ay ok. or dapat di na lang ako nag inarte pa, powder at lipstick lang carry na,,, hihihi,,, no 2 lesson learned wag masyadong maarte hihihi,,, :)

Happy Midweek Friendships!!! :) 

Beauty Loot from our trip

We also accommodated some shopping on our trip,,, yey!!! Very limited selections lang kasi ang andito sa place namin kaya I planned the things we need to buy and allotted a budget for it. We are preparing for the autumn and winter, luckily there's a lot of good finds in Zara and Bershka and I found a nice boots in Milan, wrong timing lang talaga ung sched ng trip namin kasi wala ng sale unlike daw nung july august madaming sale. Aside from that bumili din kami ng mga food at home essentials kasi mas mura talaga, mula nuttella, spam, cheese, kitchen utensils plus may pasalubong pa galing Pinas ang family ko, umuwi kasi ang ninang ko kaya nakapadala sila. May belo at cy gabriel na ulit ako hehehe kaya punong puno baggage nmin plus 2 hand carry na luggage din. 

Ay mabalik tayo sa beauty loot hehehe sensya na napakwento na e, 

I bought these for my face, sana mahiyang sa akin. 

I got the perfect shade for me hehehe pero ung salesman nagpoprotest pa hehehe, 

Salesman: for you? 

Me: yup

Salesman: it is too white for you.

Me: (deadma) I'll get this (hahaha)

Ung nc40 kasi nagdadark sa face ko ngaun pantay na sa neck hehehe. 

Ang daming Yamamay na store sa milan pero di ko pinapansin hahaha ayoko na kasi gumastos ng di ko naman gaano kailangan but while waiting for our flight there was a nearby booth of Yamamay and I still have some coins to spend hehehe, kaya ayun gumora ang lola nyo hehehe and got all these for 15 euro 

Na likey ko sobra si lipstick bukod sa color nya gusto ko yung case nya na matte yung feeling hehehe. 

And last update ko e my hair has a new color now we tried to DIY it at home I bought Loreal casting na Mahogany ang color kaso di umepek eh hehehe kaya my aunt ninang accompanied me to a parlor sa parang chinatown dun mas mura compared sa ibang parlor sa milan, 

Me just after the color treatment

I styled my hair wirh some curls

Honestly I miss my black hair, huhuhu!!! Gusto ko p din ang simple kong buhok, feeling ko kasi kailangan kong mag effort mag ayos ng face at hair ko unlike before, basta feeling ko pang sosyal sya yung kailangang polished n polished bagay sya sa mga palaayos, I'm just waiting for a week and will change it na talaga, ayoko lang talaga ng alanganing blonde n brown n orange ang buhok ko wahehe gusto ko talaga medyo red, kaya sabi ko kay husband one more try n lang yung mahogany after nun bigay hilig lang tapos titinain ko na ulit ng black hihihi. 

Have a great week ahead mga friendships!!! God bless us. : )

Early Birthday Presents

Yesterday I received a package from my friends in Singapore, I requested them kasi to send our letters from our previous home address and since wala ditong whitening soap I asked them to buy me CY Gabriel, I am using that soap since I was in high school, my mother introduced that soap to me, She is not vain as I am, infact she's very comfortable with her complexion but I think I inherited my being vain to my grandmother (her mother). My mother has 3 more sisters, I really admire their relationships as siblings talagang mahalan sila and lahat ng kapatid nya mapuputi, kaya sa aming magpipinsan ako yung pinakalatak tapos sa side ng father ko mapuputi din kaya aim na aim ko magpaputi hehehe. Kahit nagtatry ako ng bago bumbalik at bumabalik pa din ako sa CY, I had allergies kasi sa mga ginamit ko dito sa aking fez kaya I decided to use water only e kaso mo nag wawalking kami ng mga 7 pm tapos 2 hours un without wearing sunblock umakyat pa kmi ng bundok wala din protection face ko kaya nagdark n sya compared with my neck pababa kaya happyng happy ako, when I wash my face with unti unti nareremove yung dead skin, plus napakamura pa nito lalo sa Pinas, Jaz also added earrings and our local magazine syempre alam na machismak hihihi as her gifts for my bday hoooray!!! 

I used the earrings na today, mark treated me for a dinner hihihi di n kinaya ang diet hehehe ijojogging ko na lang tomorrow saka badminton hihihi. 

Aside for carbonara, hamburger is always on my top list of my favorites, I skipped the dessert though,,,, : ) 

Happy thursday na to all of you!!! : ) 

Mwahugs!!! : )

Nail Polish of the Day: Bluer than Blue Tuesday

Hello gurls!!! Hello JULY!!!

July is a memorable month for us, because on this month 12 years ago, I let my husband (my bf then) hold my hands, yihee,,, naks,, napa oo nya ang aking pihikan at takot na puso hihihi,,, enough of this cheesyness hahaha...

I am very low maintenance when it comes with my nails, I think sa lahat naman ng bagay e but most especially sa nails, when I was in Singapore I will have a footspa/scrub once or twice a month and it includes the pedicure, just because I am already there I also include the manicure for an additional charge. When I was younger when I can not afford to pay for that kakikayan, I am lucky to have my nails done when I find a cousin or a tita who is DIY-ing her nails and willing to do mine, but most of the time I just cut my nails short, very simple as that, my nails are ugly they don't have shape like others do, kaya I am frustrated with them wahehehe,,,

So today will be the official date when I painted my nails myself, ang hirap pala especially when I had to do it in my right fingers hehehe,, at hindi talaga ako artistic kasi lampas lampas ang pag color ko wahehehe,, baka daig pa akong magkulay ng mga nursery kids, hahaha! Well I have to practice more and want to try more colors too.

Nail Polish: Maybeline Color Show by COLORAMA;   661 OCEAN BLUE

Lip Balm Glam

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I just noticed na palaging food ang topic ng blog ko hehehe,, nakakagutom na ba,, hehehe,, kaya naman I want to share my everyday must-have for my lips. My skin is still adjusting in the new weather I am in, as in I dont know why I have a lot of pimples since I came here, akala ko it is just because of the "time of the month" pero ganun pa din, and siguro lahat ng nakikita ko dito ay mapuputi kaya I am desperately want a whitening cream na wala ako makita dito wahehehe,, wala din akong papaya soap and CY Gabriel, please send me please please,,, basta feeling ko ang dark ng face ko huhuhu, I have enough sleep and rest, sa mga beauty experts dyan please recommend a good products na affordable naman saka nga pala, I've tried the vichy illuminating cream pero waley pa din paubos na sya and I think hindi sya for me, walang whitening na L'oreal dito puro anti aging lang wahehehe,,, ok enough na sa aking pag rant.

Eto naman ang win win finds ko, I got this in the airport when I arrived here more than a month ago, I've tried burt bees na at nagsawa ako, I was really looking for a good lip balm, I had problem kasi with my lipstick na matte finish, nagbubuo buo sya and recommended nga is to apply muna a lip balm then wipe it with a tissue saka apply the lipstick.

Meet my lip balm and lip maximizer,,, I so love them,,, I dont need to wear lipstick anymore because of the pinkish color of the lip balm on my lips, and my lips are very soft,,, so stylish and elegant pa ang look nila, girl na girl ang bonggels di ba.

Oh shalala,, I need to prepare na, may badminton game kami today,, happy happy!!! =)))

BEAUTY-Ful Sunday: L'Oreal Products

Have I told you that Meji yogurt is the best yogurt I've ever tasted? My face will turn into sour face every time I think of buying a yogurt, pero yung Meji is not that sour and super favorite na flavor ko yung nata de coco and mango. I just finished eating this.

Weekend is over, I stayed at home and do nothing, most of my time was spent playing Candy Crush, I just started playing it this week and I am happy to share na Level 83 na ako hehehe (kala mo kung ano na eh noh hehehe).

Anyways, let's move on to another topic,  I went to Watson this afternoon, I actually looking for an orange lipstick medyo nabobored na ako sa pink lipstick ko e, I am not really a make up person kaya I don't buy cosmetics nang wala lang basta meron lang, I really choose yung magagamit ko  talaga, and naubusan na ako ng night cream I used the L'Oreal Revitalift night cream kaso nga sabi ko sa inyo naiitiman ako sa face ko kaya my psychological effect sa akin kung may nakalagay na whitening sa iaapply ko sa mukha ko wahehe. Even if I am lazy on applying creams e kailangan mag effort na ako ng bongga because I am not a teenager anymore, I really need to take care of my skin.
I want to try other high end brands but I can't afford them, maybe someday pag iipunan ko kayo Shiseido, La Prairie, La Mer etc. and I am happy naman with L'Oreal, kaya eto puro L'Oreal nabili ko.

For my daily beauty routine, I am using L'Oreal Tripla Attiva ( I bought this in Italy) and  Celeteque to wash my face.

Eye Cream is a must...

Paubos na sya, I use this every morning and at night. 

L'Oreal Revitalift for my day cream mas naunang naubos yung night cream, I am always late in the morning so I always skip to apply day cream ( my bad =( I need to allot a few minutes in the morning for this)

Since ubos na nga yung night cream I am replacing it with serum but before the serum the saleslady suggested me to apply this before the serum.

L'Oreal White Perfect Laser for day and night

I also found the  red orange lipstick, again it's from L'Oreal

The best thing in life is FREE... I got this lipstick for free hooray!!!... 

 While on the way to cashier I saw this for my hair and it has a free hair dryer hehehe,, tapos naka sale pa... winner di ba,,, like ko yung hair nung girl ... I really need a curling iron to style my hair.

It's 1 am and I should sleep now, I am violating the no. 1 rule to have a healthy skin, 8 hours of sleep ang hirap mong sundin wahehe.

Have a great week ahead sisters!!!

I feel "GOODies"

Have a blessed Sunday Everyone

I was out the whole day to meet Abie and my friend's mom to send pasalubong from Philippines and to walk around to treat my eyes with the beautiful things I can't afford for now, tipid mode dahil kakagaling lang sa gastos. After ng vacation sa Pinas, no. 1 tipid tip ay ubusin muna ang pagkaing binili sa pinas, going to grocery store will be lessen now hehehe,, hello master fried sardines (sarap nito favorite ko).

Hindi ako mahilig mag apply ng mga creams as in tamad ako sa ganyan pero I love yung mga whitening soaps hehehe,, basta may bago go and buy ako, hehehe,,

I am loving Celeteque so much, nakakabata ang pakiramdam hehehe,,, The Kojie-san soap is recommended by my brother hehehe, the other papaya soap Seriously White was from my cousin naman, Seriously gusto ko talagang pumuti, I noticed na darker ang face ko kesa sa neck ko e, and kung hindi lang talaga ako takot uminom ng gamot pumapapak na sana ako ng glutathione hehehe.

My bestfriend's husband went home same day with me from Qatar, look what my pasalubong from them

I have small collection of starbucks tumblers, major fail yung wala akong Manila but yan ang goal ko to collect from all the cities sa Pinas and wish ko to visit more countries para madagdagan ang collection ko or sana I can ask my friends from other countries to buy for me.

wish ko na madagdagan pa kayo ng madagdagan =)

Another ticked off in my list is to meet Sophie's Mom Red Velvet Cookies, I was really craving with this everytime Diane mentioned it in her blog, fortunately I have a very very good friend who bought it for me, Thanks Delo for granting my wish, we had a small get together with my college friends.

I love the cookies and the red velvet cupcake so much,, now learning how to bake is my major frustration hehehe.
