I Just Had To Share

• IN2IT waterproof blush set MB 03 Affinity.
  
• IN2IT moisture release lipstick MR 08 Flamingo
• IN2IT lasting colour lipstick DL 04 Flambe

I will never be a good critique. I can't do a movie review, food review and make up review. Anything that needs to be reviewed I cannot do that. With my limited words such as "this is bad", "this is awesome", "that was horrible", and that one-liner "OHMYDOG!" - see the picture? Okay, so I can't elaborate much, but this IN2IT make up i got maybe three weeks ago is sooo fantabulous. The blush is so good it makes a perfect replacement for my Body Shop blush i've been using since 2007, but was discontinued for sometime. So I am screwed forever. When i saw a review from Project Vanity about IN2IT's waterproof gel liner it got me so curious that on our next mall trip to the city I went straight to the make up department which is unusual because make up is like Math to me. I hate it. It's part of the school that i have to learn. Even though how many times it's taught on me, I will never get it. So back to the make up. The girl assisting me is nice enough to assess the best color that suit me. I tried some and finally ended up getting these and one waterproof gel liner I haven't had the chance to use. Blush and lipstick to me is like addition and subtraction. It's easy. Eye make up is advanced math. It will take me hours to put and blend colors but I will always get the wrong result.

I hope this isn't confusing to you as it is to me. Go check IN2IT. They're one cool make up. Happy weekends!

When am at loss for what to wear, i always go back to this particular key piece of my wardrobe - the little black dress. Thank you Coco Chanel for this wonderful fashion innovation. Whether yours is A-line, or strapless, sleeveless or a standard tank, you can wear it with tights, belted, with a blazer or jacket or just by itself and make your little black dress last through a century. LBD is here to stay so every girl must have one as a go-to style solution in any fashion emergency.

So this is my LBD. A bit of fringe, belted and a little puff on the shoulder.

Have a great evening everyone!

Soooper Cool Belts

I received these belts a while ago from Clarice Teves of Highly Waisted Belts. They're awesome and perfect for my urgent need for some kind of waist-illusion. After giving birth, my body is slowly going back to it's non-pregnant size but my mid section is still five months pregnant. Not cool at all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Clarice. I am grateful and I really appreciate these beautiful belts.

By the way, Clarice is doing some sort of super cool project. She's reworking Ukay finds to raise funds and send scholars of Pandi Bulacan to school and together with her friends they're hand painting shirts for a fund raising project called WE HEART JAPAN, proceeds will go to the victims of the recent tsunami-earthquake of Japan. Let's help in any way we can. Doing one great thing is impossible, only small deeds with great love and concern. - Amen. c",)

Please visit her store (jadore le vintage) and buy something. I am telling you, she's really good. I have a special request for her that am gonna wear somewhere special soon. It's so exciting am gonna die.

Told you, today is good. Plus am feeling much better. Yey. Thank you awesome God for Clarice. She's one super cool angel.

ps, Highly Waisted Belts is also available at Chocolate Clothing Co., Trinoma & Galleria branches.

It is Going To Be a Great Day

It is the third day of me being sick. Am still getting used to it because I don't get sick. I am usually nastier than all the nasty viruses combined but this time i got defeated. What's worse is i can't come near Yllac. I am so jealous and guilty and sad and so depressed but i have to quarantine myself and let all these bug of microorganism fight its battle and hope for the good guys to win the soonest so I can finally hold Yllac.

This morning I waved at Yllac, he saw me and he smiled. He knows me! My baby knows me. He cried a bit upon seeing me, it broke my heart but that's a good sign right? He misses me.

Oh my! I need to get better. Mommies are not supposed to get sick. It's just unfair. But It is going to be a good Thursday. Am feeling much better this morning. A little bit of a headache, but so far the sneezing has stopped. I have a feeling tomorrow is the day. I will get better.

By the way, I wanna thank my vitamin F (friends) for all the medications they recommended. You guys are awesome. I didn't know that Vicks VapoRub are still on the market. hihihihih. That sticky/minty ointment is sooooooo good.

Have a great Thursday everyone. Don't get sick please.

Pinkie Promise?

Yesterday, we went out on a little fancy dinner. Husband made a reservation which unknown to me. The original plan was to take the baby boy with us. Eat on a baby-friendly diner, walk on the beach, do a little grocery shopping and buy lots of ice cream and popcorn. But later on the afternoon baby boy went to sleep for hours. Husband changed into something more formal and said, let's go now, just us. So I said, okay, then let's go. No, you have to wear something nice, and stop borrowing my t-shirts and wear heels, he said. I think I just heard my wife talk to me. So I wore this.

While we were driving, it finally got to me that we've been married for three years. Sharing almost everything for more than three years and he's been taking my pictures on and off blogging for more than three years. So i had to ask him does he ever get tired of it, - him taking my pictures? 'Do you ever get tired of shitting every single morning? It's the best feeling ever!', he said. Well, I shouldn't have asked.

All I Can Say, Is ILoveYou, ILoveYou, ILoveYou, ILoveYou

Baby boy is four months today. He is a happy happy boy and i love him to pieces. Until now, I just cannot believe I am a mom. A mom! He makes me happy. He smiles at me and I just forget everything unpleasant. This smiling tot is my chill pill.

I love you Yllac.

Summer Uniform

Hello friends. How's your summer doing so far? You don't want to hear mine and my opinion about the heat here in the Philippines. In this time of year, my brain shrinks. But i wanted to like it and make it enjoyable as much as possible. I really do. So, here I am, just keeping it breezy my friends. Will wear something like this for the whole summer. A skirt, plus 3-size-bigger-than-me-cotton t-shirt. Anything more than this is suicide.

Have a great evening, and oh, happy Easter.

ps,

I am not myself lately. I like myself better years ago when I don't know anything much. I am asocial. I must accept that. I want a reset button. Where in my mind ,it is just me and no one else. Having too many people to please isn't healthy. Sometimes it's a good thing that we are not aware. Id like to go back to that. Do you know what I mean?

It's So Fluffy Hot Am Gonna Die

I borrowed my husband's old shirt for more ventilation. The summer heat here is so despicable you just wanna drown. I'm sorry, I haven't been anywhere to make a comparison, so ignore what i said. But it's really so hot, it's impossible to move around.

But anyway, happy Black Friday everyone. The whole Philippines is enjoying the perks of Holy week since last Wednesday I guess. It's a looong holiday. So enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Positive

Exactly, a year ago today, i peed on a stick, because in my heart I just felt we're finally pregnant. I was five days delayed and I am never getting delayed. After a few seconds my heart sunk. For what I saw is just one red line. I went back to bed feeling so low and called to tell my husband that nope, not this month again. I find myself beginning to cry from despair. Despair because i heard the sadness from my husband's voice when i gave him the empty news and more despair because we've been trying for months and am beginning to think that there is something wrong with me, that having a baby is never gonna happen for us. But the truth is, there is this little voice of hope telling me to get up and check the stick once again. So I went back to the bathroom and saw another red line veeerrryyyy sloooooowly forming. It's not as clear as the first line so am sure that it's still a negative. So i went back to bed with the stick on my hand, praying that the other red line would become red-red. But it did not. So i called my best friend (who's very much convinced that that morning i will wake up finally pregnant) and told her that I am not pregnant because the second red line that formed isn't as red as the first. She just screamed. I felt my brain explode. You are pregnant, you idiot, she said. And she screamed more, instructing me to go see my oby right away. So we screamed goodbye at each other with tears in our eyes.

So anyway, fast forward to now, here he is , my happiness - my two red line smiling at me. He is beautiful. I love him a million times. April 21, 2010 - I heart you. You are the day I will always remember for the rest of my life.

Look, No Hands

You know the most wonderful thing i love about fashion? - more than all the pretty clothes and shoes? Also, It's not about what you can show off. Personally, I love dressing up because I get to hide my insecurities every single time. And it just makes me feel better.

Happy weekends. I will sleep for the next two days. Looking forward to that. Take care my friends. Till Monday.

There's only one cute baby in the whole universe. And every mom has it. So make a baby. And meet the most beautiful person in the world.

I love Fridays. I wish each and everyone of you the best one.

Big Love

• I love my little town. So many beautiful places undiscovered (by me) and as you can see still uncrowded. Perfect for picture taking for a bit shy like me.
  
• I love this dress because this served as my pregnancy uniform especially on my last trimester. It's comfy. So Breezy.
  
• Last, but not the least, I love Sandie. She makes me feel so tall. These boots are definitely made for walking.

I May Have Found Sandie's Lost Sister

I'm sorry. Not her. But zoom in to the shoes. They could be sisters right? Do you know the brand of that shoes? So very pretty and the lace up details is so similar with Sandie. By the way, you can have your own pair of Sandie here.

Back To Black

We all go through fashion fatigue. Whenever that strike i usually go for black. So this is my lazy outfit yesterday, worn with rose pattern tights so the whole black outfit won't look so boring. And oh am wearing my Dahlia shoes.

Have a great day girlfriends and gayfriends, - thank you so much for being so wonderful and warm and amazing. I wish you all a happy happy happy day!
