Catrice MMU
My Catrice Mineral Powder makeup will bid adieu a few weeks from now.
I will definitely miss this Mineral Make up that has steadily sealed itself into my existence becoming my holy grail MMU. I’ve used a lot of brands and only this one delivered the kind of coverage that I wanted – not too heavy but not too sheer either, just perfect for my preferred ‘natural make up’ look.
A seal in the...

Here comes the beautiful bride
A good friend of mine is getting married soon.
I am truly excited for her because her dream of walking down the aisle with The One is finally getting close.
Before the month ends, my friend Chie will tie the knot with Mayk in an intimate ceremony in Bacolod city.
A few years ago, we were in a coffee shop talking lengthily about love and life.
Together with another friend, we swapped stories...

Of cold weather, clothes and hunger
Brrr…
The cold weather is preventing me from wearing my favorite dresses so I’m using my overused pairs of pants these past few weeks.
Today I’m wearing this cute blouse which, I found, is perfect for the cold weather. The blouse is a gift from aunt who lives in Japan.
But I really miss my skirts. Argh!
People often joke about me not having much adipose tissue so I get cold easier than others....

The Best Green Curry dish
This is where I had the best tasting green curry ever.
Arriving at the Cambodia/Thailand border at about lunchtime, my companions and I attempted to skip lunch and head straight to our hotel after our stop at the immigration post. But by about 2:30 PM, we could no longer deny the painful growling of our stomach so we asked the taxi driver to make a stop at the nearest food joint.
We found this...

Seeing Red
I keep seeing cute red footwear these days and I actually like them. Suddenly, many gurls have become emboldened to wear this blazing color.
My beloved red Grendha ‘Wizard of Oz’ jellyshoes. ;)
Some would wear their red canvass shoes with a black top. Others would show off their reds while wearing a Khaki jacket and dark denim pants or dark outer lay.
But the other day, I was mortified to...

Growing up and aging gracefully
When we were young, we wanted to grow up fast.
Now that we’ve grown, many of us want to stay young forever.
The irony of life. ;)
This is why I admire people who have aged gracefully and happily flaunt it.
Truly, I think it is not the number of years that matter in your life but the number of meaningful years that you have lived.

Today, I wore my favorite flowered dress.

Viva Spice Girls! →
I miss the Spice Girls. Watching them on youtube brings nostalgic feelings of excitement and anxiety a teenage girl often experiences.
I miss the old days.
Awww…
I just miss the Spice girls! :(

University of Heidelberg in my mind
Today, I’m starting a series featuring my favorite cities in the world.
First is Heidelberg, a city in Germany located in the Southwest part of the country.
Arriving in Germany in one of its colder months, I found Heidelberg more welcoming and cozier than any other city we visited.
This beautiful city inspired our own national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal who wrote one of his most beautiful...

Shoe lover
A friend of mine told me the ‘hilarious’ remark her boyfie made in front of a shoe store when he accompanied her to the mall recently.
As my friend looked upon the store display, almost salivating at the sight of the newly-arrived boots and gladiator shoes in a famous shoe store, bf suddenly exclaimed, “Just how many pairs of shoes can a girl actually own?”
My friend was...
