This year, I told myself to "Just buy that lipstick already"- you know, that very lipstick you've been lemming to buy but won't. Yes, I have that. And for me, it was Mac Ruby Woo. For years, I've been eyeing this particular lipstick but because of so many hesitations,i.e. pricetag, I wasn't able to get one. But then, there will come a time in a girl's life when she will finally give in to the call of "luho" and treat herself to a shiny sparkly tube. So... is it all I've been dreaming of? We'll see... shall we?. So what makes this a better choice than other red lipstick? 1. Texture Oh goodness. This lipstick is the very definition of matte. If you haven't tried the retro matte finish of MAC lipsticks, you probably don't know what matte truly means. That is speaking by my own experience. I thought I have tried matte lipsticks already, but no no. This ruby woo looks different and feels different. I call it ...

Last year, around May of 2015, i joined a group hike (it was my first) and though I experienced horrible physical pain, I feel like sharing it on this blog.  The following paragraph was taken from my journal entry written few days after the climb. It was edited a bit to fit my present view. Climbing Mt. Romelo was one of the hardest travel experiences I've ever done in my entire life. It was the longest two days of my life and it felt like I traveled from the moon and back with my bare foot. I went there on a whim, a single invitation from a friend a day before the start of the journey. I didn't expect the hardship that I was about to encounter. It was the idea of adventure that led me to accept the invite. I admit I was excited, I felt like Bilbo Baggins. We started our climb in the middle of the night, around 8 or 9pm, I suppose. We put on our head lights and off we go. Photo before we ascend the mountain The steps became heavier and heavier as we a...

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 ...

Goodness. Is it February already? 2016? WOW! Time. flies. so. freaking. fast. The last time I checked, I was just dreaming of 2016. I remember wanting 2015 to end so bad and it feels like 2016 was sooooo far away. Now that 2016 is here right in front of me, I want to make few changes in this blog. Frequent blog posts. Better content. Improved layout. My own Domain. Last year, I never get to sustain this "Pieces of my Month" series. I know. I know. Too much pressure, man. Too much pressure. So, I thought of reviving it again, and the timing is just perfect because January has just ended. Anyhoo, there will be less photos today because I happen to erase ALL of my photos in the camera. Shit happens. Yes they do. So, I thought of just listing random things I did on the month of January. My Month Currently. 1.  FAVE MOVIE: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL - This has the most beautiful cinematography I've seen in a movie. It has this "instagramish" feel to i...
