Japanese Drugstore Lippies

Image
These are refills from the drugstore and for some reason, though I often buy these lipsticks as pasalubongs to my mom's friends (not my money), I haven't seen the actual packaging from these brands. And I actually don't care that much. I agree that these would be hard if you have like, millions of lipsticks and trying to determine which is which but if you're like me that actually doesn't have a lot, then I don't think it matters.  I can't read what the color is on the left so you be the judge when I saw you the swatch of the actual color but on the left side, it's orange something. KANJI IS DIFFICULT. I actually like the idea of refills because for several reasons, first of all, it's cheaper. That's actually all. LOL. I don't know but it's just more practical and yeah. I think most women in Japan finish their lipsticks so they could have like the original container and then put their new tube or something. I have ...

Election Related Thoughts

Image
It was election day again awhile ago. I just want to share this thought to you. I was talking to my Australian friend yesterday and I told him that sometimes I don't really feel like voting. It must have been the system he is accustomed to or something but he doesn't seem to be pleased with my statement. I told him that I think I would feel guilty if I put someone in position and that person I voted would actually mess up or something. He said I shouldn't feel that way and later on the conversation he said that the least I could do is to actually choose the lesser evil.  I don't know how I feel about that. Lesser or greater evil is still evil. And I don't know why would I want to place an evil on a position. Like, I very much appreciate UST's voting option to like abstain. Because it's hella useful for me. I'm the type of person who thinks it through a little bit and not just do it because of some useless shiz. I like to vote because ...

Cosme Decorte Angelic Fantasy

Image
I have told you guys before that I am not a big fan of eye shadows. Because you know, I don't have a place to put the shadows on. But never the less, there are occassions when I feel like extra glamorous and would bother putting them on. I am extremely traumatized by bold colors so when I saw this palate, it was just perf!  I like how they put labels on this things. Although I'm not really gonna follow this. I think I would just "wash my eyelid" with a certain color and then go. One thing I noticed is that it's so so sparkly. Like, this thing just goes everywherez. Anyways. I don't know what I feel about the packaging. It's so simple but also it looks kind of classy. I don't know what I feel about it really. My other side is telling me it looks so complicated and cheap. Anyways. It came in with little applicators which I still don't know how to use and provided I don't have all the tools and stuff to appl...

Thoughts on Pond's BB Cream

Image
I wasn't actually going to buy Pond's because of a certain reaction it does to my skin but then again I was I think a little bit attracted to the packaging. Not the nicest packaging but somehow head-turning. And that's applicable only if you like pink.  Having finished my other BB product, I'm not expecting much from this and what it promises. Right now I'm just holding on to the 'fact' that it has SPF. Which is always a good thing. It promises to whiten the skin and stuff and luckily I'm already happy with my color but yeah. Hopefully it brightens up my dark spots because they're just so in love with me that they don't want to go away. Annoying much. The formula is thick and it's fairly easy to apply and also easy to blend. I also like its scent. Like, it smells like your typical Pond's product but at this point, I'm just happy that it's not offensive like the BB Stick from Maybelline. ...

Simple Joys

Image
Not so long ago, my cousin turned 6. It was such a simple celebration but it was perfect. Sometimes simple things matter most. We went to Cavite to celebrate and below are the pictures that we took. :)) This is the oh so cute cake that my mom got for my cousin. As you can see from the picture above though, they kind of messed up with my cousin's name and placed "YASHI" instead and then my cousin pointed out their mistake and they kind of remedied nalang. Oh well. It's alright. The pictures (above and below this text) are kind of a fail because I made an effort in like somehow squatting and then no one went behind me for us to fit in the frame. It's just that my grandma is literally behind the tall peeps so yeah. If only! If only! I wish my little cousin all the happiness in life. I mean, he's probably too young to be problematic and all that. I think he's all good as for now but you know, it's actually tough to predict everythi...

Dream Oh Dream

Image
I had a weird dream again. And I don't know but I really think I should make a legit segment about my dreams. Because you know, they wouldn't stick to my memory for very long and as always, gonna drop it to my Pensieve. I'm a wizard like that. Anyways. I dreamt of something Halloween-y. It's like I'm riding a jeepney with 4 other girls and then  4 guys tried to stop the Jeepney and stuff and then the driver didn't stop so I was like, I'm safe! And then we entered a narrow road and the the Jeepney stopped there and then alas! The four guys rode the jeepney. Not declaring anything harmful but for some reason, they got all of our bags. It's like someone on the top is getting all our gadgets and money and stuff and then they would return it secretly and yeah that's what happened well and then! I was able to stop them from digging into my bag by like pushing Timothy Delaghetto and getting my bag from him. And I was like, why the heck do I a...

Sisters from the Same Mother

Image
Hola guys! So the other day, my sisters went to the laboratory and fetch me off work. Which is great! And then we decided to have some tea at INFINITEA. Which I was initially against because I really wanted and still want to try that Blueberry Donuts fron Dunkin but then again my sister Mika told me that she checked and the branch near our place doesn't have any stock or something so Infinitea indeed!  I had Tiramisu which in fairness doesn't taste like Tiramisu except that it's somehow salty but okay I'll take it. Although I'm kind of still impressed with the taste because at least it's different. But still confused. Anyways. Mika got Cappuccino Caramel Macchiato which is like sooooo crazy sweet! It's delish but I don't know how someone can drink something that sweet. I haven't tried the glucose load we make our patients drink but I can imagine the sweetness of this Cappuccino drink and glucose load being comparable in sweetness. ...

The Oath Taking Rant

Image
Okay so this is the rant I was talking about earlier in my post. First of all, I don't really like the whole idea of it because it's all unorganized and so like unprofessional looking.  Okay basically this is what happened. The first thing that happened was this. The lady pinned flowers on me and my mom well in fact, we're not fully aware of what's happening yet and what if we got pricked of that unsterilized pin? Med tech stuff. I won't actually mind the flowers if it's really needed but then NO! Not in the R.A. 5527 and so why are these people being annoying and just doing this thing? They charge 100 pesos each. They probably spent like 20 pesos making that thing and the maximum price I could accept that thing although still overpriced is 60 pesos. They should be banned or something. Because clearly, they're just taking advantage of the situation.  Anyways. The next thing I found inconvenient is the waiting time. Can I just say that it took me l...

Oath Taking for New Med Techs

Image
Hola guys! I just want to share with you what happened awhile ago. Well awhile ago, the Oath Taking for Newly Registered Medical Technologist happened. I am pretty sure I showed you guys the tickets I bought last time. I feel kind of bad that I don't have a picture with my mom. Well except that one that was taken by a "professional" photographer well actually, maybe just camera. I have to have a rant by the way but I just want this blog post alone to be somehow full of good memories so I'll just skip that part for now. So basically I was confused whether or not to attend the ceremony but okay here's the thing, if you don't need your license as in physically yet, you can choose not to attend. Not really mandatory. But you have to take your pledge somewhere else. PRC. The lady at the counter when I bought tickets told me that I have to be at the venue at 7 and I was there at 7. Luckily, I saw 3 other inductees before me so I was not feeling that bad ...

Chill Sunday

Image
This was last Sunday when my bestfriend, cousin, and I decided to attend the mass and have a little chit-chat about life. Like we always do. Last Sunday was a little different as well because we decided to visit a wake. One of the highschool teachers in our school passed away so we decided to view him before he's not physically with us anymore. It's sad because I was talking about my bestfriend on visiting him at the hospital but it all happened too fast. He was actually not my teacher but still. He was part of the school I was in so yeah. And then we decided to have coffee. The same place my cousin and I visited before. It's actually because Infinitea's full of people again.  And I don't know if I have told you this but my bestfriend and I used to regularly go to this place so it's like revisiting and reminiscing our highschool life. Mine is in the middle and it's a Chocomint flavored one and one thing you have to know...

DLSU won! Whose Fault?

Image
Hello! As a Thomasian and as a citizen of this country, I would like to somehow address the situation that just happened. This is about UST's lost against DLSU. And I don't really know what happened and all that but my take to that is this. I haven't watched the game fully but I don't really think it's necessary to blame certain people of what just happened. I think it's so unfair that people are blaming Mariano or like Abdul for the loss. I just don't get the point of  making them feel so down. I just think that even though you pinpoint who messed up or not, it's not like there's still a hope for UST after the game or like even though you kept posting crap on Facebook about how this player messed up or like messing up or not, he's not or like they're not gonna know about your bshit so better keep your stuff to yourself. Especially when they're not doing good to anyone.  PHOTO NOT MINE Can I just say that I am proud of th...

Trust no beetch

Image
One thing I have learned in this life is to trust no bish. Trust only your family and probably five of your closest friends. Or maybe four depending on how many people you have been with and friends with since you were like 4. The rest of your friends you can trust but do not trust them with your life. Because at some point, you will be betrayed. It's a sad thing to live by but that's just reality and believe me, as much as it's a sad idea to live by, it will save you from a lot of heartaches in the future. At work, I only trust one person, and she entered there the same day as I did. I just think that we kind of think the same. Maybe because of our close age range, maybe because of our same educational attainment, or maybe other thing. But the point is, we kind of think the same. So yeah. The others wouldn't probably know that I don't trust them still any time soon but yeah, I somehow just don't yet. Hopefully they don't trust me as well so it would be...

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 7

Image
1. I have made my best and blog about this trip in two parts so please check that out. I so want to go back there with these people! Like, can I just have a break for a second? No? Why? Lol. Anyway, this shot is in the middle of nowhere and we just stopped by here on our way home and our couldn't be any better because you know, it's free and it's just nice. It's a perfect place to view the Taal Volcano and Taal Lake panoramically.  2. This is when we had our haircut. It's insane because when I looked at my face on the screen, I just can't stop laughing at my new face. I don't know but there sure is something funny with my face that I can't help it but laugh at myself. I was probably a bit shocked slash weirdo. 3. This is when we were buying street BBQs. I love my cousin Yoshi. He's just full of expressions and just so alive almost all the time. He's always energetic and would make face in pictures and stuff like that. And yeah, he...

Empties and Final Thoughts 1

Image
Bonjour guys! You know, I'm the type of person who generally doesn't use up a product to its last drop a lot because for some reason, when running low, products just disappear to me. But miraculously,  I was able to use these babies up and yeah I would like to start a segment called, "Empties and Final Thoughts". Don't expect too much from this segment though. They may only come once in a blue moon. 1. Victoria's Secret Romantic Wish I like this. Like, I like how mild it smells and not like Love Spell that I don't really understand why people like it and stuff so yeah. Don't get mad! I know it's probably just me. I have been using this since I was still in Japan and lasted me this long. I think it would even last for like another week for me. Because I don't use it often and stuff like that. I don't know if I would repurchase this though. I think I want to use up all my body sprays/perfumes/colognes before I purchase a n...

Dream About Paris

Image
10/05/2013 - I dreamt I went to Paris with my cousin and sister. It looks fake in the dream though but will tell you guys anyway. So I was with my cousin and I don't really know where we're heading but then after some time, with people who were coming down from the stairs, I realized we're in Paris and will go up the Eiffel Tower. Weird because I can see my neighbors going down the stairs and it's like normal stairs and not the stairs the Tower actually has. And then we realized we have passes but then in my dream, you still have to have an electronic card for some reason and then you can use the card for like ever and then when I saw my childhood friend's brother go down, he very kindly gave me two electronic cards. So that would mean we could go up now. But then what did we decide to do? Eat! I remember taking pictures from the ground and you know how I know it's fake? Because the Tower that I saw is between two tall buildings! Like, what? source...
