charmed life♥

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 free

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

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.♥ 

I don't often go out on long road trips, but I realized doing it once in a while to escape the hustle and bustle of the city : is a stress reliever.   Sound tripping while traveling is the best : "Sa umaga't sa gabi sa bawat minutong lumilipas.. hinahanap kita..." And then you found yourself singing also... Seeing all things green is really very relaxing : trees and mountains that you don't commonly see in Manila. One and a half hours drive from Cainta to Antipolo, Cogeo, Marikina (upper), Baras, Tanay and Morong Rizal. Had lunch at Paseo Rizal Mayagay in Morong Rizal before we head back home... Paseo Rizal is a restaurant with a breathtaking landscape and a homey ambiance.  It houses quite a number of artworks... We were welcomed with a free appetizer - singkamas with bagoong... (that reminded me of my Lolo Guiling because it's his favorite). We had chicken wings, lechon kawali and chopsuey - from their wide range of

Happy birthday Mama Mary!♥ Thank you for all the blessings you have given me and my family... Please continue protecting all of us!

If you're a Louis Vuitton bag fan, I am sure you are familiar with "Popincourt" bag.  Louis Vuitton Popincourt bag was introduced years ago and was discontinued sometime early or late 2010. source: Google.com source: Google.com These are the original version of the Popincourt bags: available in mini and large.

Anyway, I really wanted to write something about "bags".  I love bags more than shoes... Yes, I am a bagaholic! *wink!   Let me ask you first, do you know what kind of bag are you carrying?  We often come across these kinds of bag - hobo, satchel, bucket, tote and etc but not all of us know which one is which...All we know is that:  it's a bag right?!   source: Google.com Bucket bag : as the name suggests it looks like a bucket, open top and round bottom often times it's drawstring enclosure.  These bags are also available in form of a backpack.  Though bucket bags has been present back then.  It recently became a trend when Mansur Gavriel came up with their minimalist bucket bag with detachable wallet and adjustable strap.   sour
