It's Christmas Soon

It's Christmas Soon

And nope this post got nothing to do with Christmas. It's just random ramblings of some sort. Oh before anything elss, HELLO guys! I just thought I would make a little disclaimer there. But anyways. I realize I never really stick to a certain topic regardless. 

It's already November and I can't help but really admire the speed of time. Imagine! I have been working for almost 2 months now. It seems like forever already. LOL just kidding. Ugh anyways. I'm almost through with my experience seeking thing here in the Philippines. And so far I'm actually enjoying it and as I've told you before, it's just nice being able to apply all the things I learned in school or internship in to life. Well not to mention it's also dangerous since I'm already putting my name to all the things I've done and will be doing in the future. The way I would like to address it is this. Even doctors make mistakes. Now I'm really kidding. No room for mistakes really. But doctors make mistakes LOL. 

But seriously! I think it's all happening too fast. I guess I have to enjoy the little things and just be happy and live the moment yeah? One Direction much or not? Because about this next time next year, I might regret things and I'm kind of certain that I won't be doing the same thing as I am doing now so yeah that speaks a lot. I might as well live in this time and just enjoy life pretty much. Just a little bit more wouldn't hurt I guess?

I am quite happy though that I am able to buy things I want. But sometimes I would hesitate and think twice if I really need something. Sometimes it's just that I would think to myself, "this is not what I worked hard for" or something. I don't usually buy expensive stuff back then when I was still a student but do you know what I mean? I don't just usually like to reward myself back then because I don't think I've worked hard enough as others. Comparing myself to others 101. But now that I am working, I think I have to somehow reward myself once in a while. Because you know, this time, it's just me. I do get things done and yeah. Just to have something to look forward to at least twice a month. I always feel tired though but I guess that's always a part of it. I hate. Just saying. 

By the way I will be stealing pictures from a colleague when she puts it up so you would know what it's like at work. Not that you want to know what's up. Anyways is this like a work post? Nah! LOL.

French Baker's Macarons Review

French Baker's Macarons Review

I have told you before that I was a little bit disappointed on Macarons that I have so far tasted. Well actually, I have only tasted one and not impressive at all. And I was like, I'm not gonna give up on these colorful babies and would give it another try. Here's my verdict for the second attempt.


I got these Macarons from another familiar bakery in town. French Bakery. I have mixed feelings about this store actually. I mean, it's just that I don't really like breads all that much and the one I've tasted from this store didn't really impress me all that much so yeah. And the reviews I've seen listed Tous Les Jours' macarons above this one so I was like, there can't be anything worse than that! LOL. Just kidding. But really though thinking about it now, their macarons were pretty bad. 


You know me! These details just made me wanna cry! LOL. But I must say that their illustration is very well made. Love! I hope to live on that house where the girl stands. Must be very magical there! 


Verdict you ask? Well. It could be worse. I mean, just like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, there are good and bad flavors. And if in doubt, you can always trust brown coloured deserts. I think that's all I've enjoyed. The pinks were the foul ones and the green which I bet is Pistachio is kind of foul too but I partly like it. And the orange one was kind of okay. Definitely zesty so might have been some choco drizzled orange or something. Just a disclaimer, I don't know the official flavours of these macarons. I wish I knew. As a conclusion, nothing worse than the pinks. They taste oh so fake. One more try (from another store) and I would really give up on the pinks. Okay that's all guys!

Falsies? Not! Mascara tip!

Falsies? Not! Mascara tip!
Hello guys! I saw a post on Pinterest (is it?) that kind of caught my attention and I said to myself that I should really try it and here we go! Basically, all you'll be needing are these, and a lash curler or something. 


The trick said that if you put powder after mascara and put powder again, the fibers of the powder would build up and it would give you the look of a fuller eyelashes and stuff and I thought hey! It's such a simple trick so why not give it a try? 


It works! I mean, it does give a fuller looking lashes at some point and it even gives a kind of false lashes effect and yeah but I mean considering other things might change your opinion on it. It does fall out and would give you a black eye bad effect and I don't know if you want to go for that look. It also kind of feels gritty and it doesn't feel good at all. I mean it's after all a powder and at some point, it will fall off! And it's actually quite dangerous because that would actually fall straight to your eyes! Imagine the damage! So be very careful! Or maybe find a way to better apply the powder. I may have done it in a dangerous way.


 I think that with a much wetter formula of a mascara and if applied right away, it will make the trick better because the powder would have something to stick to and mix to and not just sit on the lashes so yeah. Anyway. I hope I was able to help you or some sort and see you again soon! All the best!
