Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017♥



Last Saturday, was my first fun run!  I joined the Hello Kitty Run Manila which was held at SM By the Bay, SM MOA Complex.  It was a "so-so" event.  Though it was nice to see a sea of Pink people at the Starting line I find the event disorganized.  Maybe I have expected too much!  

When I first heard about the fun run I was so excited and googled previous Hello Kitty run held in other Asian countries.  The run is a bit pricey at P1,350.00 (Early bird) , P1,500.00 (Regular rate) and P1,800.00 (Late registration), but I was really determined to go.  Come July, I registered and opted for delivery instead of pick up (to avoid the hassle of going to MOA since I live quite far from the place).  According to the HK run manila website that they will start shipping the race kits starting September 15.  On October 2, I received an email informing me about the delay in the shipping and the drawstring bag will be given out on the day of the run with lots of surprises and freebies inside, which made me more excited. 

     

October 3 & 5 : I received 2 separate emails for those who opted for race kit pick up, changes in schedule and etc.  It's a good thing I chose my race kit to be delivered.

October 6th, the happy mail came - Hello Kitty singlet and bib... ♥   

October 20 : I received Event handbook thru email.  So ready to run!

October 21st : The Big HELLO KITTY Day!♥


Left home 3:30am because I am in Wave 1 and the gun start is at 5:15am, we arrived 4:15am at MOA.  We (I took my nephew with me) proceeded at the starting point right away and since there is no line yet on the registration booth where the drawstring bags are being released, we're able to get ours.  To my dismay (though I really don't want to ruin my day) when I looked at what's inside it's only a yogurt, 2 pieces of Hello Kitty sanitary pads and a gift certificate from Hello Kitty Cafe for 1 free latte.  That's it?!


There was a short program before the gun start:  3 mins Zumba to stretch our muscles and Hello Kitty appeared to greet the Wave 1 runners!



 At gun start : there was a confetti shower that marked the start of the run... here we go!







When we got our finisher medals we went back inside the event's place, there's a Hello Kitty food truck... 





We didn't have a chance to try the food because the line is too long.  As well as the lines on the other booths.  My nephew was already tired, hungry and it rained so we decided to go home. So I wasn't able to buy any souvenir merchandise.  

It was a great experience for both of us (we finished the 5K run)... but I am quite disappointed with the freebies.  I hope the organizers do better next time. It was really way below our expectation. 


We just rewarded ourselves with a hefty breakfast at Italiannis at BCG!♥

Vice Cosmetics - Good Vibes Matte Lipstick♥


I've been into lippies lately... I don't know why.  Maybe because I am still in search for the perfect nude for me...  For the first time I will be trying a local brand..  Yes, you heard me right! It's my first time to try... It's not that I am not proud of Philippine made products, it's just that I don't really buy make ups - most of my cosmetics were gifts from friends and relatives from the US, so I am not used to local brands, but I have already tried Avon and Nichido eyeliners.  Actually the case really caught my attention - I love it : it's hot pink!♥



While going around Watsons near my office I saw a kiosk of Vice cosmetics...(curious of course) of all the shades of course I had to go with this - Hayabayabayu (a little hard to pronounce) it's a soft peachy nude shade under it's Good Vibes Matte lipstick collection.  


I am not into matte lipsticks but according to it's website that it's a "matte lipstick that will not dry your lips" , so let's see.  It's vanilla scent which I like not overpowering - the scent it just right.  It's creamy, pigmented and lightweight.  There are 8 available shades at P195.00 each so it's very affordable.

Vice Cosmetics is owned by Vice Ganda which has a tag line "Ganda for all" to view the other products you can visit it's website: Vice Cosmetics Ph ♥

Update: I used it yesterday: applied Colourpop primer first then the lippy... so far so good it worked - it didn't dry my lips.  :)

What's in my mind: October 18, 2017♥


Is it the hormones that's causing this? haha... I am completely aware that you/I cannot really please everybody, but yes there are times that you/I feel things that would somehow make us feel down.  I guess it's a natural feeling...when you felt that you have given your best, but your best wasn't good enough for other people... 

In a world ruled by two kingdoms, though you will not see the invisible antipathy between them but the people around them suffers.  Sometimes you feel it's totally unfair, when you have an umbilical connection with one kingdom and this has been affecting your growth.

Deep breathing...

Closed my eyes....

Said a prayer...

And think of all the blessings from the Lord... and gave myself a nudge 
and told myself... everything will be okay.♥
