BDJ FAIR 2015

This is my third time to go to this yearly event hosted by BDJ. First time, I went with a friend (Well, hello Ghem!). The next one, boyfie was with me. This time, I decided to just go by myself .

I tried to maximize the event so I spent the whole afternoon going from one booth to another. I also pre-registered to two talks/seminars to get an insight or two.

If you haven't heard of them yet, BDJ is a community of empowered bellas. Actually, it all started with a kikay planner- The Belle de jour Power planner. Then a community was formed involving mostly users of planners and kikay girls alike.

As for me, I've been a BDJ planner user for five years. I go to the event (if time allows me to) because this is where I can buy the new and upcoming planner in a much lower price compared to its selling price. I bought my new planner for only 500 pesos as opposed to its original selling price of 580.

Also, the event is actually pretty cool. You can go around, win some fun games, shop with discounts. You can listen to different talks and get freebies.

Anyway, let me just tell you what I did in this fun-filled event.

Oh, btw, I went there alone because I haven't had the time to invite my friends and my bf has other commitments so yah. Forever alone, but still a happy gal. Alone doesn't mean unhappy after all.

I arrived around 3pm, just in time to breathe before my pre-scheduled talk at 4pm. I immediately bought my planner which is basically the main reason why I went there. Then, I walked around just to see what's happening and I was invited by one of the Bellas to give BDJ a video message. After giving one, I then asked her to take a picture of me in return. I stood beside 2015 planner poster, which is by the way my favorite cover out of all BDJ planners. (The second one would have to be the Paris girl.)

Then I claimed my lootbag which has A LOT of free stuff in it! Cool right?

Then, I wrote on their bulletin board which is also my favorite thing to do in the fair. I almost run out of space because I came in late afternoon and the board is almost filled!

Then, when I realized they are letting pre-registered bellas can already enter the seminar, I went on to find myself a sit.

I pre-registered for "Embrace yourself" with Miss Divine Lee and Flawless representative. I am not really big with skin care so I learned a lot from this talk. I now know I should do a 360 degree effort in my skin care regime (that is, if I have any.)

After the talk, I saw this roulette so I went in line to play it. I think I won a discount voucher. I also got a free cotton candy from Havaianas! Happy kiddo!

The most interesting happened when I went to Palmistry. The palm reader was surprisingly ON POINT. I was so shocked when he told me a little guess about myself, and he was pretty accurate. Mind you, I'm not really that superstitious but I was floored. It was as if he knew me or something.

Anyways, I will just keep whatever forecast he told about my life. but I am happy to share he told me I will have a long one.

After that palmistry thing, I went to different photoboots held by Jergens and Wacoal. I don't have anyone to take my picture with so I took advantage of these free photoboots.

I also spent an ample amount of time at Pink Sugar cosmetics. They were having this free makeover session so I thought of falling in line just to try. Also, I really want to see how other makeup artists do makeup in other people. I learned a couple of tricks actually.

Then, I went on to my second scheduled seminar "Flaunt Your Style" with Miss Karen Ostrea. Oh goodness, I LEARNED EFFIN A LOT from this woman about fashion sense. She talked about how to create your own image, how to handle yourself, how to know your body shape, how to dress your body shape, etc. etc. She even let us examine ourselves physically to really know our body shape. I enjoyed her talk so so so so so much! And I am not a even a huge fashionista to begin with.

Then, my phone battery just died on me. ARGGG! I wasn't able to take photo of the Belly Dancers, the beatbox guy, and the TGIFridays Bartenders who gave different performances just before the night end.

The event concluded around 8pm. I got home around 11, I think. (Traffic pa more!)

I was tired but happy. Alone but overwhelmed.

These are all the FREEBIES I got from the fair!!! WAAAAHHH!!!

AND OF COURSE, MY NEW PLANNER
(Will do a separate blogpost about this planner)

One happy bella just before lights out.

And off to my dreamland...

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. . ...

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 ...

You Can't Eat Beauty

"My mother used to say to me, "You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you." And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that "you can’t eat beauty" was that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty enflames the heart and enchants the soul."

REVIEW: L.A. Girl Gel Liner

Hello hello hello! Three reviews in three consecutive days? Wow, this girl is on Fa-yah! Okay, let's do this. Today, I get a little overboard editing some of my photos through editing app called Decopic. Ang cute cute! Been wanting to put stamps on my photos, and I tried some apps but I can't seem to find the kawaii app that suits all my needs. Finally now I have Decopic. Ain't she lovely? I spent like hours tweaking my photos... Anyways--- (Sorry I forgot this is about an eyeliner, not an app. hihihi) Howell, been using this gel liner for two weeks now and I thought I might do a review on this one because (surprise surprise) I love it! I really haven't heard anything about this gel liner as compared to some popular drugstore gel liners such as from Wet n Wild and Maybelline so I don't have much expectation about this product. But then, as I use every single day, I am actually enjoying it. Mine is in brown shade. Well, I do prefer brown ...

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.

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...

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...
