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!

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...

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 ...

Honeymoon in Palawan: Wildlife Rescue Center

Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Travel Date: April 24, 2018) For this post, I will be sharing our visit to Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, hubby and I went to Palawan for our honeymoon. If you haven't already, you may read our journey by clicking the following links: El Nido Tour A El Nido Tour C Underground River Mitra's Ranch Bakers Hill , Butterfly Garden and Tribal Village , Immaculate Conception Cathedral Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center Palawan Museum and Plaza Cuartel This place is a home to crocodiles and other rare wild animals. Here we have seen the efforts of Palawan people to save their rich animal population especially crocodiles whose species have been considered as endangered. They let people in batch by batch so the place won't be crowded. We waited first in this area, and of course, a little photo op. Upon ente...

Treats for My Skin Courtesy of Gluta

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...

Tragedy after Tragedy

My heart is breaking right now that no amount of manicure can ever heal. I thought of creating a nail of the day post (since this is what this blog is all about) but then it pains to see my countrymen face tragedy after tragedy that I feel a need to set aside a polish post and to really share what I feel and see around me. As of this writing, my lovely country, the Philippines, is under national calamity because part of the Philippines suffered from the super typhoon Haiyan. Prior to the typhoon, the country also bear magnitude 7 earthquake, heartbreaking terrorism in Zamboanga, and the additional issue of pork barrel scam. Millions have suffered and we Filipinos have suffered enough. There is no room for laughter. Any amount of fun is a sign of insensitivity. It is not easy to watch the news without crying because you see your country being whipped from head to toe and you feel so bruised and battered. Amid all these things, I see greatness here and there. Different fund raising p...
