For someone who loves Polaroids, who would not want to have this array of photos on the background even as part of her wall? My green with envy senses are kicking in, if I were to be entirely honest about it.
**
What were you thinking?
This was my room — 6 years ago.
and this is it now:
Had I not ‘shopped the whole photo, you would have seen my scratched yellow walls that scream for repainting. This remind me to never in a million years scratch them off again. Weird fetishes, as much as they please you and satisfy you, also can cause a whole heap more of trouble. I recall tearing through the nearest and most glossy finish of paint within my reach whenever I would jump into bed for a coupla’ forty winks. I just could not sleep without peeling off a portion. *lol*
And thus, the need for pretty polaroids/pictures stamped on my walls. To hide the ugliness of the scratches.
Think they would look nice in my room? Or too much? 
) (But then again too much to my mind is never enough.)
P.S. As you will notice, the four poster bed is now gone. I now sleep on the floor korean style for the simple reason that I love anything korean style. So many things can really happen in a blink of an eye. And I’m not making sense any more which means the bed is calling my name..
NAO SLEEP.

I love mornings. It’s when the warmness of the sun starts to seep into the sky, and nature is painted in incredible colors. It’s love at first sight, it even beats my heavenly cup of froyo. Had you been following this blog for such a time you would have known all of this by now. But today, I’ve decided — I’m actually going to spill a secret and stop being fanciful: for as much as I love mornings and doing my morning rituals, I also hate waking up on those hours. This makes me feel somewhat a hypocrite. But just because I’m being honest doesn’t mean I’m totally all that, do you feel me?
And speaking of, feelings.
Feeling the sun on your face while still in dreamland, being tapped on the shoulder by who knows who to force you to wake up, hearing the alarm clock ringing, hearing whatever that distracts your slumber mood… isn’t exactly the most awesome fun feeling in the world. Or perhaps, it also is?
The grumpy gravity pulling you back to the bed is horrible. And you can relate to that, I know.
It’s like, hello Mr.morn, I’m still obviously 404 right here, and you dare wake me up? Wake me up at like what..5 in the morning? Or 7 o’ clock whichever minute. But 7 would mean I’m very late indeed, so yes, I should probably go back and declare it at 5 am sharp. Not that 5am is my favorite time of the day, and all this would wind up with MORN =MOURN/ morn=morning.
It’s silly, diba.
Thing is, I’m a night owl slash early riser combined (that also probably explains why my eyebags have gotten fat like a doughnut. yes, a yummy, fat doughtnut. *lol*) who isn’t exactly a morning person which is why getting up for me is a struggle sometimes.
But on the other hand, on mornings like this, whenever I would wake up with all that grumpy feel of gravity and bed, do I also consider grabbing a hot cup of caffeine. Nothing like a one, big, hot cup to start my day right.
And then I’m a girl enchanted.
Mornings are like coffee, it’s bitter and sweet. Though it’s hard to get up early, the smell of caffeine in the air nevertheless will breathe you into energy. It’s a bittersweet fix to fill your morning spirit. It’s a bittersweet fix to give you life. ~siD
pure. happy. calm. high.

At 7am-ish every morning before I go to work, I would saunter through the halls across the office leading to the comfort room with my cosmetic pouch which holds my stash of beauty arsenal. I need at least 30 mins. for my make-up routine.. I start work at 8am. Of course there would always be enough time left for make-up application, but I make sure every dab and stroke and sweep gets applied properly.
Inside the comfort room I would stand in front of the mirror, look at my makeup-less face, pull the hair out of it, and then bring out my essentials — brushes, eye pencils, color palette, lip shimmer, concealer, mascara.. anything works – it’s all a must-have.
I’m not particular with make-up though — I have a good skin and I rarely get zits so using department store or drugstore make-ups are absolutely fine with me. But I must admit I fell in love with branded and designer make-ups from Victoria Secret, NYC, and Estee Lauder.
I always try to achieve color on my face without looking like, well.. made-up. I personally believe us girls shouldn’t wear heavy make-up — it makes us look cheap. Yes, and I’d like to stress on that, cheap. Because for one thing, nothing beats natural beauty.. and two, make-up should just be a way of enhancing your features/let your face glow with color. Unless it’s showtime. :]
I used to wear heavy make-up during dance concerts in college when I was still part of the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe. But point is, whether you go light or heavy on your make-up, it’s really a necessity..it’s really every girl’s bestfriend. Of course, guys can wear make up too. It’s completely chic, and it’s a gift that we can learn.
My face looks a bit oily here — that’s because I used liquid foundation (Red Earth Cosmetics Liquid foundation SPF 15) for my face. I like wearing it as it is, without powder over so that my face don’t look cake-y. As for the eyes, nude eyeshadow goes first (Clinique Surge Eyeshadow in Strawberry Fudge), followed by a blue eye liner (NYC), and lastly applying white eyeliner (Maybeline) on the inner corner of my eye. Then I just finish it with purple mascara. (Estee Lauder)
With color spill on your eyes, you can look alive with this look. And that means going light on the blush as well. Try soft pink or pale peach shades. I completed my look with a sweep of pink lipstick and a shimmery gloss (Magic Lipstick in Strawberry + Victoria Secret Slice of Heaven Gloss).
As for my hair, I just let my hair down in a different way. I skip the straightening products and create texture and shine with my hair using Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat. I suggest you skip the hairbrush. I usually don’t have one in my bag. Hee. :3 What I usually do is to just gently run my fingers through my locks and then voila! The waves will look au naturel.
Also: A lot of people have been asking me what color did I choose to dye my hair and what product have I used. Well, this is supposed to be a secret but I’ll let you in. It’s actually light copper blonde by Mondes Hair Coloring. I’ve applied it only at home. And you can buy this for less than 200 pesos. )
How about you? How do you do it?

I’d love to hear from you!
P.S. sorry for the messy room!

Girls, you know you are in my shoes when you get this: PMS. It’s like asdfghjkl! We hate it. I hate it. I’m getting crabby once more and I feel bloated and sickly and I soo want to punch anyone right now. Get in my way and I’m gonna blind you with my eyeliner. As if eyeliners are considered deadly weapons noh, HAH. But srsly, this hormonal depression isn’t so normal anymore. If there’s one thing I could wish for, it’s that to have this day ended and have myself hurled away from this rotating chair slash computer monitor. Have any of you experienced such near-death experience? Yes, this is HELL..and this is torture beyond words! I’m not even sure where all this energy is coming from. I’m not even sure why I can’t stop pummeling the keys. See, my keyboard messes up even my ‘P’ loses its hinge. But then again pummeling keys won’t do any help either. Things at the moment are just getting absolutely unrelated with feelings of pain and irritation added into the bitter mix. But hey, natural order. So don’t get me wrong. I’m only gonna whine about my macbook and not seriously for this. Na-uh-NO. Thanks to blogging, I’m now slightly slipping off from my hormonal roller coaster.
Helloooo. First day.
But since I do suffer from these symptoms every now and then, I do know what to do to get rid of it.
- take some PMS relief/meds by buying one over the counter
- drink milk..
- get a towel and have it laid over my abdomen..
- make believe and feel the magic of immortality..
- EXERCISE! Oh yes, thank you to Slimmer’s World. :3

I’m not someone who reaches for psychic advice for every little thing; I demand particular proof. When I read my horoscope, I absolutely have a partial belief that it’s made up. I don’t seek advice from a fortune-teller either, but some people say the fortune tellers at Plaza Miranda in Quiapo are really strong fortune-tellers? Hmm..for some reason, that makes me slightly interested. But then again, I’d rather literally look at the stars, planets, planetoids, moons, and pretty much anything in the sky to tell what the future has in store for me.
Tonight, however, proved to be different.
On my astrology at Facebook today, it read:
If you are the designated driver, leader or organizer of a family get-together today, make sure that you take care of yourself first. Get enough sleep. Bring along a bottle of water. You will likely be in great demand today, make sure your cell batteries are charged.
Get enough sleep. Bring along a bottle of water. Sooo true. I’ve been worrying about my health lately, but it seems like I’m not making action for it. This is a reminder to myself that whatever I’m writing down, I should take seriously.
You will likely be in great demand today. Suddenly a lot of people have been bugging me, sms-ing me, private messaging me, asking me for help, asking me what’s happening and all the about me questions there is that makes me feel like…yes..like, totally IN DEMAND. It’s all ridiculous and insane and makes me feel a little less than a normal person. Like a Korean actress or Marian Rivera or someone really really flashy, LOL. But just like how my horoscope reads it, maybe only for today.
Make sure your cell batteries are charged. Would you believe I was about to charge my fone when I read this. And do you know what’s it like to have your future laid out by someone/something who guesses well/what’s the next thing you’re doing or what you should do for that matter? Do you?? Do you??
It’s a funny feeling, because the only thing that interests me about the future is because I know that I will be spending my life there. But to tell you honestly, I kinda liked Astrology now that I’ve read what’s my horoscope for today because it hits the spot quite right. It gives me purpose and a direction to myself so I can prepare myself up for whatever endeavor/trouble that’s coming. And this is it, I guess.

Okay so I just had my Macbook stolen from my brother’s dormitory last week and I know I should be mad at him for borrowing it for his thesis and for only just telling me right now and for not doing anything about it and all but it’s utterway bullshiizzz to be finger-pointing at people right now especially that my heart has just been broken like into a million shattered pieces.
ALL MY FILES. PICTURES. EVERYTHING. GONE.
4 years.
in memory of my macbook,
~siD
