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...

Must Eyetem Mascara

Image
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...

UST in December

Image
So I have told you guys about my previous will to visit my favorite alma mater and guess what? I have accomplished that days after that wish. Pretty proud of my self LOL. Anyways. As expected, it's enchanted and just beautiful as it is. I actually thought that it would be a little bit more peaceful though but anyways. The thing is they were actually having an event so we stopped for a while. Main Building I prefer seeing the Main Building on its own but since they were having a program and the stage is like at the center, I failed. But it was still beautiful as always. I actually don't know if I am more impressed now or last year but thing is they have a different theme sort of each year but there's just some things worth appreciating than others that's all I can say. Quadricentennial  Oh anyways as I was telling you guys awhile ago, there was like a center stage set up right? My cousin and I were like, what is this sorcery? So when we read the...

December Plans and Wishes

Image
Already December 3 today! Can you believe it? What's up guys? It's already the last month of 2013 and I only have roughly 4 months left to spend in this country. So I thought I'd share my December plans with you. Not that I have a lot though LOL.  Christmas is just around the corner so I'm looking forward to our Christmas Party. It would be around mid December and since it's the first work-related Christmas Party that I would be attending to, I'm really happy. Although I have been told that we're just gonna eat outside and not really celebrate as in celebrate, I think it would still be something something.  I want to see UST at night. I don't know but there's really something about seeing it at night on Christmas season. It kind of removes the stress from my system and I love it.  UST Annual Paskuhan is also coming up and I wouldn't dare miss that! It would be my last time for a long time so I'm quite excited for th...

Hunger Games Inspired Nails

Image
Hello guys! I want to share a nice nail look for y'all! It's quite nice and I'm pretty proud of it. The Hunger Games theme quite failed me but anyways.  These are all Bobbie nail polishes. Cheap cheap nail polishes. But they do what they have to do. They paint your nails anyways. Hunger Games reminds me of Red and Fire like Katniss Everdeen and that's actually the look I aimed for but since there's no RED anywhere near me, I took the closest option. Talk about improvising. Look! It's quite nice, right? I mean, I know I usually do simple colors and nothing really dramatic but I think this one is kind of a little bit sophisticated than what I usually do at least. But anyways.  Thinking about it though I think this is more like an Effie Trinket inspired look. LOL. I may have told you before that she's my favorite character. But nah I'll stick to my original plan of making this a Hunger Games themed nail look. This is...

Dining at Yabu

Image
Hi guys! I told you that after we watched the Hunger Games, we went straight to the other mall to have dinner and mom instructed us to go to Yabu. I haven't really tried eating here before this moment so yeah. I just thought I'd give you a review. My sister Mari being busy.  You know what's good in this place? You can get pre-occupied for quite a while. Or maybe like while your food is not on the table yet. It's quite genius! It is also the first thing that I have noticed when I arrived. You grind it with that woody pestle which is quite an easy activity but be weary! You might actually get a little competitive.  Well basically, since we were not able to get tickets for the 3:00 pm screening, we kind if have miscalculated everything so the moment we arrived, they were already done eating dinner and it's just 3 sisters who will have to eat. Mama, Lola. and I The place was pretty crowded. And I wonder why. I mea...

Ups and Downs of Being a Professional

Image
I  can't believe that I would only be talking about this now. It hasn't been that long though but I just think that I somehow have to note this because sooner or later, I will just laugh at this thought because it wouldn't be relevant for quite a while. So the other day, a Chinese family went to the laboratory to have their blood drawn and tested. In our field of work, you can't be assured that it's gonna be your day everyday. I mean, there would be days that you would be able to withdraw blood from all the patients and there would be days when you would feel like a starter all over again. I mean it's just like that.  So back to the Chinese family. The phlebotomist that time missed on drawing blood from the son. Well basically, the family consists of son and parents. He endorsed it to me and though it was quite a challenge, I was able to extract blood from the patient. I gave the syringe back to the co-worker who endorsed the patient to...
