Things My Momma Tell Me

Things My Momma Tell Me
My mom is such a nice person and having her around is just nice. Having been tired everyday from review/work and just random days, I have noticed she kept on telling me things. 

When I'm singing high notes: DON'T CRY. 

When I'm mumbling something while reviewing: You're not insane!

When she's looking at my legs: Why are your legs like that? Parang ham na walang brand (ouch) 

When she sees me in my room or somewhere else: Oh you're there/Why are you there?/Oh!

When I tell her I'm hungry: You're always hungry!/Why are you always hungry?

When I'm drinking coffee: You drink too much coffee. 

When I just arrived home from work: Change your clothes! 

Those are the things my mom tell me on a regular basis. It makes me laugh.

I'm Feeling 22

I'm Feeling 22


This is quite a random post but I'm still gonna do it. Uhm I turned 22 last week. I told myself beforehand that I should listen to Taylor Swift's 22 before midnight but I slept instead. I woke up couple of minutes before, slept again, woke up a couple minutes after. Story of my life basically. Anyways. I know this is still too early to tell but it doesn't feel any different than me being a 21 year old lady. So kids, speaking from experience alone, don't rush things. Growing old especially. You'll regret it. I think it's nice being young. Somehow.


I did enjoy my birthday celebration. I just think it's nice to have some feast but I think it should be more of a inner thing and a day to thank your mom or parents because they deserve to be thanks because if not for them, then it would be all different, yeah? Yeah. It felt so good you know. I thanked my mom that day well partly because she payed for the food we ate at the clinic and stuff but yeah I like to thank my mom for being super super awesome. You are beyond! 

I also got semi-annoyed that people were asking if I have a date or something. I don't know but for some reason, they make having no Valentine sound sad. Which is totally not. Maybe because it's my Birthday but even if it weren't, I won't waste my time mourning or anything. But luckily it is my Birthday. 

Anyways I hope you had fun! See yah!

February So Far

February 13, 2014 0
February So Far
Hola guys! I just want to share/take note of how my February have been. This is so far a very chillax month but at the same time it's kind of eventful as well. Ang gulo lang. Anyways. Uhm chillax events nalang. 


First, at the very first day of the month, I saw this. It's kind of sad to say goodbye to a friend but things really have to happen the way it happened. I'm happy because I know it's for the better. Let me just tell you about her. We came in to work together and we really clicked so I don't know I will really miss her. I was moved when I saw the note because I kind of saw her writing that but I didn't think she would write my name because we were on duty on her last day of duty and the thing is we never really said goodbye probably. Pulled a Life of Pi tiger moment there huh? But yeah I would have probably be emotional and stuff so yeah. Oh well. 


Second picture happened on a Sunday. Well I don't really believe in luck alone but I was pretty impressed with these horses so I had to take a picture. This is also the time where I had to buy stuff to bring with me to Japan. Can I just talk about Horoscopes? There were so many boards there with horoscopes and stuff and my cousin was really interested in reading, right? I was like, wait a second! I noticed they said nice things to all horoscope and I was like, really now? But you know, those are nice guides for people but if you're just gonna let that happen on its own, na-uh! 

the sun is setting

Lastly, pictures of the sky. I don't remember how to the sky looks is Japan but I will surely miss my view here. Sad. Hopefully it's better there though.  Just a side note, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW. Anyways, just like most of my Birthdays, I don't really get too excited. I think of it as a special day but no need for a huge celebration or anything like that. Will blog about my feelings if I feel like it tomorrow. Ciao! :)

A Little Bit of Work Won't Hurt

A Little Bit of Work Won't Hurt

Hello guys! I want to show you guys my work place and who I work with because you know, this is a part of me and I want to share? LOL. 


All pictures with actual people are not mine but with me in it but I have to give credit to my co-worker for these pictures.  The lab pictures are mine. Anyways. 


Just feeling artsy by adding filters which in my opinion turned the pictures kinda nicer than they actually are. Mmmm... Picture above is the Chemistry section which I may or may not like because sometimes I think that for some reason, it does't like me as well so whatever right? Oh can I just say that this is my first post assignment so it will always have a spot in my <3 joke! Haha


Picture above is with the rad techs that thaught me a good amount of life lessons already. So thank you guys. I mean they are always goofy and joking but when it comes to real talk, they don't mess around!


You know, I will miss these guys. I know I will. But it's gonna be a long battle still so yeah gonna save that for later. 


I don't know if I told you guys this already but I really feel happy that I chose this laboratory over the other because in here, I think I can be myself. It's just that half the people here are in my age range so for some reason, I can connect better to them right? Well I don't really talk that much but you know, the connection is important and I don't think I would achieve that had I chosen to go to the other laboratory I have applied to. I might be wrong though but as for now, that's what I think.

Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy | Movie Review

December 31, 2013 2
Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy | Movie Review

So on its first showing day, my family decided it's a good idea to watch it. Well not. Anyways.

I didn't really like the movie. I guess I was expecting a little bit more from it. Like, it's quite nice for a good laugh but you know, very predictable! I guess it would have been nicer if there were other artists that played the role of the other characters but I guess that would be pointless since clearly, they thought of the concept very well. And that they clealy wanted one artist (just one artist) to do all four. 

So the story is that they are quadruplets and that they were separated by birth by the evil grandmother (father side). Then two of them were brought to the United States and then two of them stayed with the mother and stayed in the province. Then girl, boy, bakla (gay), and tomboy it is. Surprising yeah? LOL. Okay so after several years, the boy needed to have a liver transplant and for some reason, they can't find a compatible donor so they decided to reveal to their children that they're not really just twins. That like, there are really 4 of them. So after they test and stuff, the doctors said that the gay is a compatible donor and yeah. The thing though is that the gay is not okay with it. So he decided to give everyone else a hard time. At the end, he decided to give a part of his liver. It's really that predictable. 

My favorite character is Girly. I don't know. Her personality is just awesome at some point and yeah. I like that. Can I just say that for some reason, I find her gorgeous too!

It's not all negative though. I mean it's  really funny. But I guess it's not well put together. It's like "this is funny let's put it in" system and yeah. I seem to be the only one in the family to see the movie that way though. My grandma really enjoyed it. My mom thinks it's okay. And my sisters thought it's really funny.

Easy Coffee Lip Scrub | DIY Recipe

Easy Coffee Lip Scrub | DIY Recipe

Hey guys I just want to share this quick and super easy beauty D.I.Y to you. So yeah lately, my lips have been reacting weird to the weather and so yeah it's like loosing it's glow and stuff. LOL. But yeah my mom and cousin would constantly notice that my lips are always pale and yeah. 


So basically you'll need coffee, sugar, and honey. Three ingredients that would help you achieve a better looking lips. Or like softer lips whatever.


If you don't know already, coffee is an anti-oxidant that might help get rid off the toxins and some other bad stuff. You know! :) honey is a moisturizer that will help your lips come back to its glory after the sugar do the job of exfoliating the dead skin on the lips. Well that's about all you need, right?


There's really no proper way of making this scrub. Just mix all the ingredients and you're good to go! Pretty much. Anyways.


The way I did it is that I added more sugar after mixing all the ingredients just to make sure that there's gonna be a more gritty texture and like the milder texture so yeah. You don't want to add in too much honey because that's gonna ruin the mixture pretty much. Honey here serves as the base as well so you just want to have enough for the coffee and the sugar to have something to stick to. 


So that's it guys! I hope you find this post helpful and if you have recipes to share, please let me know! So yeah, until then. See yah! :)

Everyday Cheers!

Everyday Cheers!

I look very pale nowadays. But that's besides the point. Hello there guys. 


Recently, I got a recommendation from my sister about this tea place near her school. Well my previous school too to be proper. She said it's pretty nice and somehow hidden. That I like for sure. First thing she recommended me is their Smores! I have been looking for a place that serves this for so long and I'm just lucky to be able to find one.

SMORES <3

It's a pretty small piece for what it's worth I think but whatever. It's quite good. Not good as in GOOD but uhm good enough. And also, not that expensive actually.


My cousin who doesn't really like marshmallows enjoyed it too. So that's nice.


Oh I'm pretty disappointed with their teas though. We both had something from the Rock Salt but yeah it was such a disappointment at some point. I mean, not really that good. Not even average kind of.


My cousin got the Dark Chocolate and I got their Wintermelon tea. I wouldn't recommend either of it.


What I liked though is their Waffle. Blueberry Cream Cheese to be exact. Will review more flavors soon but yeah definitely try this out if you may.


Their fries is okay and they serve it i this mason jar kind of thing and yeah nice one. I think it's pretty small for the price though. Anyways. That's all I have for you guys. See yah!

Must Eyetem Mascara

Must Eyetem Mascara
Lately,  I have not been including mascara to my routine. It's just a time consuming step to add. Especially when you're already like a minute late to your schedule. Don't even talk "prepare early" with me because that's just irrelevant. LOL.


So maybe less than a month ago, my mom went to haul a good amount of products from a Korean store and she was so nice to get me a mascara to try. I don't know but it's like all of a sudden. Maybe she remembered that I want to get any of those colorful fat Maybelline mascaras so yeah. 


The moment she told me it's from Korea, I was so excited to use it because you know Koreans! Although they would probably just stack on fake eyelashes for a more convincing look. Anyways. 


The packaging doesn't look professional at all. It actually looks like something a high school girl would use. Not that it's a bad thing. I just noticed. Oh it's also cheap. As I remember, 3000 won. So it's about 150 ish php. So maybe I shouldn't really complain about how it looks. The formula is more leaning to the wetter side thus it is kind of more difficult to set. If you have enough time though, you might be able to set it down before blinking and having an instant black eye in return.



One thing about me is that I don't have impressive eyelashes. EVEN FOR A TYPICAL SOUTH EAST ASIAN. Like, I am below the table. 

curled lashes
Even if curled, you can barely seen them. I also find my lashes difficult to curl so as much as I don't want to, I kind of do the curling the wrong way and in such a way that there would be like 2 or 3 that will be detached from the roots. Sorry lashes

with the mascara on
As you may have noticed, my lashes became more noticeable which I think is a good thing. So yay! As from what I noticed, it doesn't give much length but it defo gives volume. 


So yeah it's more of easy but really messy to apply and you have to hold your position like this for a while or else the product would go up your lids. Or maybe that's just me. So that's it guys! I don't hate the product at all. I will use it actually. Because it's from mom. Take care!

Transition of Colors

Transition of Colors
I just noticed that I'm rather so fond of looking at the sky nowadays. It takes my thought out of things. You know! Like a clean state. As a regular worker, I usually have a regular schedule and would go out of work at sunset. I would say I go out of work tired as usual and just seeing the sky above makes me calm down a little bit.


Here's what I usually see. I love it! It's like a masterpiece. The rest of the pictures below are random shots that I took because I thought it's beautiful. 


I guess it's nice that our house is kind of near the bay so somehow we can have a glimpse of the beautiful things happening there. I can't wait to like go there again and watch the sunset closely but please oh please, clean the water. I mean even if it would be a 10 year process, they should start doing it.


I love looking at the sky because it's not always the same. I mean, it's very much like life. There's always something new to appreciate.


I'm kind of thinking to take a sunset picture to each country and like be it my collection or something because I've been thinking of starting a collection of something so I would have stuff to look at to when I grow old or when times like those come. You know. Just being sentimental as usual.

Victory and Friends.

Victory and Friends.
FRIENDS <3
Hi guys! When I passed the board exam, I knew I have to celebrate it with these awesome people. You may know my cousin (black top) from the many blog post I have featured her to. I have also featured my best friend (pink top) in maybe a blog post or two and the new girl in the picture (green top) is Diana! A high school super close friend of mine.


Nothing fancy. Just a dinner out to celebrate my victory and just to catch up with things. I am blessed with awesome friends and I am really thankful to have them in my life.


It rained so hard that time and my cousin and I were there an hour earlier than the call time and then yeah we were worried that my friends would actually go on with this dinner but then they did! So rare. LOL.

THE MEDYO BLURRY PERO PWEDE NA PICTURE
SUNSET LOVE
MY FACE FTW!
BEAUTY
NOT SO TASTY
Ordered two servings of this fries which I kind of regret doing because personally, it's really not that tasty for me. It's like too powdery because of like the artificial flavor which is not really that tasty as well so it's like eating talcum powder lang. But anyways. 

FIREWORKS
Diana told us that they do fireworks on Saturdays so we stayed a little bit longer to watch the show. It's a super short show but since it's free, we really can't complain about it. It's not too shabby! :)
