Pieces of My Month March

Happy Tuesday everyone!
I have just realized that the first quarter of 2014 have passed and I am loving my year so far. There are times when I wish I could have done more but I guess it's better to give myself a pat on the back and celebrate my successes rather than being too harsh on myself. Sometimes, I tend to forget I can only do enough.

First week of March, I was able to celebrate Fat Tuesday with my church friends. Fat Tuesday, if you have no idea what it is, is the day before Ash Wednesday--the start of Lenten season. Since Fat Tuesday is the day before fasting and abstinence, devout Catholics are having a merry gathering of food and laughter before pursuing a month of sacrifice and soul-searching.

Aside from the beginning of Lenten season, March also marks the start of summer. I had an early summer with my friends at Bakas River, Norzagaray, Bulacan. The place is such a marvellous tranquil, perfect for escaping the urban life. .

March is also about getting used to new routines, working hard, new acquaintances, revisiting old friends, being in love, and just living a well-balanced life.

My 8-5 is mostly composed of this mess.

Love is divine.

I still get to receive flower with no particular reason at all.

Finally, catching up with my old college friend

I get to enjoy listening to radio every morning after waking up and every night before I fall asleep.

I fell in love with a dwarf.

(Kung ganito kagwapo ang duwende, hindi na ako magtatabi-tabi po.)

I became obsessed with these lines from "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

At least, I get to enjoy doing calligraphy once again.

I also post my "Push Mo Yan, Girl" - my own bucket list here in this blog. You can view it here if you want. I feel naked presenting my goals and dreams to the world. The challenge is up but to show the universe what you want is a liberating process. It feels as if I am claiming them and I believe in them more.

I am happy I get to continue writing Pieces of My Month. I am enjoying this blogging thing. It's hard, really, but I am happy I get to continue what I'm doing, building this nook every single time I post an entry. It is such a marvellous hobby.

Thank you, March 2014. Thank you, dear readers. Thank You, Father God for everything.

Bye for now!
See yah!

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

Happiness and All in Between

Source Life is freaking awesome, let me just say that. I’m happy to finally say I am happy (forgive the redundancy). I am so overwhelmed with all the blessings I see around me. Much more, I am filled with peace which is far too precious than any other material things in this world. Last night, while I was doing my “journaling” routine, I reviewed my bucket list I made at the beginning of the year. I called it “PUSH MO YAN, GIRL” list. Three of them I already ticked off including the last one which says “BE HAPPY.” For the past two years, I feel stuck. I don't really know what to do with my life. Along with my self-imposed crisis, I felt truly unhappy, but God has helped me make better decisions in life that has led me to find happiness with who I was, who I am, and who I want to be in the future. Now, I feel so much better- the best version I could ever be since my quarter life has began and I am no longer afraid of my dreams. I am no longer at lost, I think. Large part o...

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

Inspired by JLO's Nude Lips: In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz

I have always been on the hunt for a nice nude lipstick that can beautifully mute my pigmented lips. The desire to rummage around for the best neutral lipstick started when I would always see myself being drawn to wearing dark hues of eyeshadows, only to find out I have no nude lipstick to pair it with. I would always end up wearing light pink lipstick which I think is just fine but I wish I could have a neutral colored lipstick so the eyeshadows can pop rather than making the lipstick clash to the eye make-up. Should I say my hunt is always a fail. Sometimes, it’s too pale, too light, a lot of browns, lots of pinks, always a fail. What I really want to have is the kind of lipstick that will definitely erase my lips but won’t make me appear sickly. Arrrgh! Women are such confused beings! Anyways, this is how nude I want my lipstick to be… Girl crushing is on! I always wonder how JLO rock the nude up until I saw I video of youtuber Jenn Im where the girl uses not brown or light...

L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD High Definition Concealer

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! I know that most of you are celebrating the dead these days (horror films, zombies, monsters, vampires, white ladies, scary dolls, etcetera), but my Mama is celebrating her birth, contrary to the holiday, so let me just give her a little shout out "Happy Birthday, Mama!" Okay, now that's done. let us go back to make-up talk. Today, I am doing another product review and this time, we'll be talking about concealers. I honestly don't have prominent eye bags, so a little foundation can cover up the redness of my under eye area. But, I always include concealing as a part of my make-up routine because I love how it brightens a tired face and how it immediately creates a flawless skin. As you can see in this photo, the right one has no concealer on, while the left one has L.A. Girl Pro Concealer applied on the under eye area. See how it immediately brightens the face? Take note that I am not wearing anything- no foundation, no powd...
