SHIKIMIKIE

1. I believe I got these Kisses from my mom together with some other stuff on my 20th Birthday. My likey chocolates! But not as much as Blueberry Cheesecake! Okay never mind. LOL. Can I just share that in Japan, or even in Korea and probably some other places, it's the ladies' job to make chocolates to the guy they like but in the Philippines, it's kind of the reverse so it's somehow interesting. I remember my Hidemi told me a story about her making a guy mini chocolates but didn't give it because when she asked another friend to taste it, the friend told her that it looks like poop. LOL. On another note, I guess I'm just very lucky that I always get something on Valentine's Day. Of course! It's my birthday. Back to the Kisses though, as much as like almonds, I think I enjoyed the Cookies 'n' Creme more.  2. This is during our first internship, Histology-Pathology department. I probably told you many times that this is my favorite post...

Well actually, this is just a Paris appreciation post. Haha and a little bit of The Devil Wears Prada review. I downloaded it this week and was able to watch it the other day so let's keep moving, shall we? We shall. Okay my thought after watching the movie. It actually really inspired me to pursue my dreams. Whatever that is.  Okay this is kind of vague but I got it. I got it. Or at least I think. The Devil Wears Prada approves that Paris is the biggest deal of the year so whatever and for some reason, I can really identify with Andrea pretty much. The main story is that she got hired to be Miranda's assistant in New York and even though it isn't an easy job (AT ALL), and she's not really into fashion (when she applied) she stayed and worked hard because she had a vision. A vision of meeting other people through the job. Other people that might get her somewhere else. Good thinking. I really think that her dream to be a journalist is the same a...

I know I told you that this would come right after this blog post but I don't know why I felt like doing a review on CL's new music video . Anyhow. This is really unexpected, you guys. Had I known that we're gonna eat there, I wouldn't have had breakfast. So the branch we went to is at SM North Edsa which I surely didn't see before but my cousin told me she saw it and stuff so yeah. I actually had experience eating here before  and I enjoyed it and I thought I wanted to share that experience with my cousin so we went. We probably took all the prawns in this particular tray because I remember telling my cousin how I am craving for it and that I wanted to go to Yakimix just because of that. But at the end, we thought that it's not really a brilliant idea since it took time for us to open the shell and eat the thing. It's only bad because we only have a limited time to eat. Somehow. I think we were able to try at least 90% of the raw food because t...

So I don't know if I told you guys already that 2NE1 is actually my favorite Korean girl group and this music video is actually a video of their leader, CL.  So the video started with CL just semi shaking her hips on the red carpet and then there were many camera flashing like crazy and she's just like, whatever y'all. CL being CL. Can I just say that even though CL is not the oldest in 2NE1, I sometimes feel like she's the oldest because of the way she sometimes acts and stuff like that. I don't mean it in a bad way though. The scene above is probably my favorite one. I generally like the idea of the swing having the letters CL as the sides .  Just like any other Kpop videos, the ending was kind of confusing. I strongly believe that this is an add but it really reminds me of Luna Lovegood's episode where she lost her shoes and found it hanging somewhere. this is like its modern replica. Okay, we're cool with this, yeah? ...

SAY HI TO MY HAIR BOW Yesterday, I decided to renew my driving license which expired last Feb 14  and it's never a good thing to have an expired license around. I did a little bit of research before going to the renewal center and people generally had a good and easy experience but I didn't feel that ease that much. Although it's really so much better than the initial license application. I guess it's also my fault that I didn't go there early enough. But anyways. I went out my cousin at around 10 am and we reached the renewal center an hour after and then what? The guy at the counter said that I could fill in the form thingy and just come back after 1 because they have a cut off daw. Wow ha. I wish I could have a 2 hour break din. So what can I do? I filled in the form and submitted it to the guy and left the place. It's a good thing that it's very near a mall so we went.  Before going out our house, we already decided to eat at Yaki...

I was kind of hesitant to watch Safe Haven because I was thinking, I'm not really ready for heavy drama or something because I'm keener in watching travel related films as of the moment and this I downloaded (illegally) because I've heard quite a lot of good things about it. Michelle Phan's review is one. I also read reviews online and even though I was not ready for a heavy film, I watched it anyways. Just to get over it. There were quite a lot of bad reviews saying it's a bad movie with bad actors and stuff but actually, I kind of liked it. Okay let's just put it out there! For some reason, I always see something good in a movie or like everything but whatever. Except probably the movie When in Rome. Okay, maybe the Rome part was okay. I don't think I'm spoiling the movie because it's been out for a while now so here it goes. The movie started like it's some sort of a horror story which confused me a little bit. I didn...

1. When I was still on my third year, we were divided in maybe 6 groups? And then one time, we were asked to perform a test using Clinitest and the thing is only one member would perform that and since my groupmates are kind of hesitant to do it that time because our instructor told us it's expensive, dangerous, and whatever, I took the challenge and yeah, I was the one to do it in our group. I pretty sure thought that it is a big deal back then but after internship, not so much. But yeah. I'm proud of myself for volunteering and stuff. 2. Picture with two of my closest college friends at a place I don't even know the name but we actually go there pretty often so yeah. They serve good food but it's relatively expensive for students so whatever. 3. It's an Okonomiyaki! It's sort of like a vegetable pancake which I really really like. It's not as popular as Takoyaki in the Philippines and I don't actually know many places that serve it. This on...

I'm feeling really dramatic right now but I would like to let this go just like any of the stories I've told you. Okay so here it goes. While looking at my Facebook, I kept seeing stuff like people already having their Med School ID, people trying their med uniforms and stuff like that. I pretty much thought that graduating with a bachelor's degree would actually solve this thing in my head but apparently not.  I probably told you guys already how I am really confused whether or not to enter med school but the thing is I'm still confused as eff. I can definitely see myself as a doctor but what I have to go through to get there is probably not for me. See, I confused you as well. A lot of my friends are in med school and a lot of them are entering this school year as well and I can't be anything but happy for them but thinking about myself, it's kind of depressing. Because I can't figure what I'm going to do with my life yet. It's ...

source This post is just to brag about my talent in copying faces. Just kidding! I used two apps to achieve the looks I've made. Line Camera which I've used to add the head pieces and then Artoon, an app that you can use to kind of copy or make up a look. Actually, there's an app called iMadeFace which serves the same purpose but since that requires iOs 6 and mine is lower, I don't want to mess up with my phone and update my open lined phone because I might not be able to use it again. Okay enough of the kwento. My youngest sister is probably the easiest that I did because she's simple and I didn't have to use another app to complete the look and stuff. Our eyes are kind of different from each other but I don't have a choice but to make it all the same in the drawing because that's like the closest they have but anyways, that's not really a big deal. I guess I have to mention though that the hair didn't give justice because my youn...

This is a meal I made before we went to the hospital. I actually don't do much cooking but because my grandma kind of ordered me to do this, I don't have much choice. But I enjoyed it and that was actually the first legit Filipino meal that I cooked. Hooray! I can't really teach you guys how I did it because all you do in this meal is wash and cut your ingredients, and boil it! And then add your seasonings. That's just the way it works. Or at least according to my grandma. So okay. I think the most challenging part is actually the boiling process itself because in order to complete this recipe, you have to make sure that the veggies aren't soggy (which kind of happened) and then the pork is ultra tender (which happened) so it's like 50-50. You guys who cook are probably laughing at me now but whatever.  This I'm an expert at. FRYING! :) Now this one I actually did just yesterday and I guess the biggest challenge in this one is actually making s...

This is how the thing looks like unopened. It's actually  The flavor my mom got me was Mixed Berry. I don't know what goodness can it give my lips but it's sure smells delicious or maybe it's because of olfaction and shiz. I don't know.  This is how the thing looks like and as you can see, it's quite pink already so it's quite obvious that you would get that pink glow it claims to give. It's moisturizing and it's really easy to apply so   I'm really happy about this product.  This is how it looks like on my hand. Don't be fooled though because I applied this when I was about to go to the hospital and then when I looked at the mirror there, my lips were neon. It doesn't look like it for the first few minutes that you would apply it but really? Neon? I was like surprised because WTH? It's probably just my lips or whatever but this is intense. Now, I actually like the color it gives but it was just inappropria...

It's just a lovely day today. Not so long ago, this Gumamela bloomed and we were all like excited because I don't know. I saw it in the morning when I was about to make my coffee and then when my sister saw it, she was calling us to see.  Yesterday, I went home from the hospital because I have to run errands and then I was supposed to go back at night with my uncle but then again he went with his wifey riding his bike instead of his car so I didn't go. I wasn't supposed to go there today because my mom said that she would just be the one to settle things and she just ordered me to watch over my sisters and like, make sure they eat their lunch and stuff like that. I woke up at around 8 and then I went down and left my phone charging and then when I was already playing with the dogs downstairs, our lovely maid (ate Skylove) was running and said my mama is calling so when I answered she basically said that she forgot something so she asked me to follow her there. S...

My cousin was just playing around with the hospital gown and she's actually not the one hospitalized. Spent overnight at the hospital with my cousin to watch over my lola because she wasn't feeling really good the other day. She got fever and just felt generally unwell. And then we thought that she'll start dialysis already because the agreement was that when we go to this particular hospital, she would undergo dialysis na because she need it na but then my mom and lola are still hesitant to start it because as I've told you before, once it started, there's no turning back. My mom asked the doctor if we can check the creatinine again and compare to the previous result and see whether it drastically went high or if it remained the same. It was STAT so I know that it wouldn't take too long for us to know the results. I must admit that I really got excited when I saw a tackle box containing tubes and syringes because you know, I kind of miss doing it. Anyway...

I'm pretty sure I told you how I like to listen to The Script so let's just skip that part for now. They have a song called Six Degrees of Separation and I decided to kind of find an appropriate picture to describe the song sort of. Play the song somewhere if you could. FIRST, YOU THINK THE WORST IS A BROKEN HEART For me, this is the worst stage so I really agree with The Script there. This is also what will kill you emotionally. Or maybe that's the second. I don't know. Because I'm pretty sure that these two are partners at some point.  WHAT'S GONNA KILL YOU IS THE SECOND PART This is a stupid thing to do over someone because come on! Trying to end your life for someone who doesn't even care makes no sense. Just get over it. Or at least the killing part. I'm pretty sure that in the song, they didn't mean killing as in its literal meaning but I just want to let that one out because it's what the picture depicts. So yeah. WHY AR...

For some reason, I think my sister's watching too much YouTube Tutorials and she's been making different masks and stuff like that so I decided to join her little party because my skin is really being a bad bish right now. I don't know if I told you guys about this already because with 478 posts, I don't know what's going on already so yeah. Okay, as I was saying, I break out (as in break out) once a year so that time is now. and when my skin is extra greedy, I would break out twice so hopefully this would be it na for this year.  1. You have to have green tea leaves and what you can do is that you can prepare yourself a cup of tea and then after you do so, do not throw the leaves because that's what you'll be working on.  2. Just add a liberal amount of sugar. It actually depends on how gritty you want your mask to be. The more sugar you put, the rougher the mask would be so if you want to exfoliate big time, then add a lot!  3. Add...
