its a girl!

simula nung bata pa kami, naglalaro kami ng sinulid, karayom at lapis para malaman kung ilan ang magiging anak mo at kung sinu-sino ang babae o lalaki.  meron pa ngang huhulaan ka daw kunyari, tapos dpeende sa ridges sa gilid ng palad mo e malalaman din kung ilan ang magiging junakis mo...

naisip ko lang, pano kung di magkapareho ang lalabas sa inyo ng asawa mo? haha, lagot sya...

so anyways, alam ko na kahit dati pa na lalaki talaga ang magiging first baby ko.  kaya ang confident ko non nung iniscan na ko ng radiologist dahil di pa man nya sinasabi, alam ko na (at kita rin ung tutuy bago pa man sya magsalita haha).  pero ngayon...

 di ako ganon ka-confident kahit alam ko sa loob ko na babae ang second baby namin.  lagi kasi akong natatalo pag nakikipagpustahan ako kay bambi.  kaya napasigaw talaga ako sa tuwa nung sinabi ng radiologist na babae sya!  babae po ang anak ko!  ang saya saya ko grabe!  

ngayon alam ko na na tama pa rin ang chinese lunar calendar :D

at ang pinakaexciting sa lahat?  MAGSHO-SHOPPING AKO NG MGA PINK NA BABY STUFF!!! aminin, ang sarap magshopping noon para kay jared dahil first baby at excited ka sa lahat ng mga nakikita mo sa mothercare, pero ngayon, mas excited ako kase ang dami-daming cute na gamit para sa babae!  i can't wait for my 8th month!  para masimulan na ang shopping!!!

a different one for my thumb, but still from the same plate...

actually kakarating lang ng rhinestones ko from an ebay seller in hongkong, super mura, parang 2-3 dollars lang ata, grabe at ang dami... kaya ginamit ko na agad hehe...

actually galing kay ate lourdes ang gold ball na ito, na may lamang mabangong lotion!  hindi ko alam kung bakit nya ko binigyan pero bongga di ba, charitable! 

review: avon liquid freeze quick dry spray

if, like me, you get impatient waiting for your nails to dry...

and if, like me, you tend to feel like going to the bathroom as soon as you put the top coat on your nails...

and if, like me, you wake up with bedsheet marks on your nails...


and you get so pissed off because you worked so hard on your nail art, or you just felt like all the efforts waiting for the first coat, second coat, konad, then top coat on your nails to dry have been useless...

then this is one solution for you!

i have seen so many fast dry spray but this is the most environment-friendly coz it doesn't have aerosol propellants.

and the most important answer of course - yes it works!

it does dry your nails like magic, and with just three sprays on each hand since one spray can reach 2-3 nails.

problem is, the oil.  it's super oily.  so if you are super impatient and you spray after each coat, you have to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards because the next coat will not stick if your nails are oily.

so i only spray after konad and after top coat.  i just let the first two base coats dry naturally.  but, since it still cuts my nailpolish time in half, im pretty satisfied with it...

hooray for avon!

also: quick review for sephora purifying brush shampoo

of course, when my baby's shampoo ran out i tried to buy a more professional brush cleaner since the OC in me wants to wash them every week (daily for the foundation brush, which, i found out, was the cause for my previous pimples just because i didn't realize you have to wash it daily...)...

and i found it in sephora, which is triple the price of a baby shampoo but makes my brushes so soft, plus the fact that it is antibacterial :)

ive been using this bottle for 5 months now and it is still half-full, so i think you're money's worth it, and your face, too.  my bare escentuals kabuki brush never felt softer even when it was new until i wash it with this, and it decently cleans my eyeshadow brushes and eyeliner brushes, too.

never mind the eye primer on the photo, too faced shadow insurance works, everyone knows that.  im just trying to finish it so i can compare it to urban decay primer potion.

i love our new speakers! boom boom!!!

logitec 5.1 speakers with subwoofer

super nawawala ako sa sarili ko pag nakafull volume ang "halo" ni beyonce, i love iiittt!!!  what's more, hindi sya mahal... ahahah!

new year's wish #12 granted!

ang sipag sipag ko na naman magnail art nito....

konad m61 at different colors

konad m61 with red konad, m57 with avon mirror shine (coz silver konad nail polish is not that opaque, and the gold? the gold sucks), m56 with white konad on sally hansen pink base, m61 with white konad on sally hansen blue base, and black konad on m57 plate.  you choose.

konad m57 with avon mirror shine nail polish, claire's chocolate base with china glaze matte magic.  and rhinestones~

and i love china glaze matte magic!!! its like having a whole new set of polishes because your nail color changes from glossy to matte after this top coat and i love it!!!

it makes my pink sally hansen look frosted!

bummer of the week

when we, maricel, irish and i, went to bcc last time i bought this gorgeous green sparkle eyeliner coz im a sucker for glitters and green eye stuff... i thought it was reasonable for seven dinars coz it was so pretty!

and it was a breeze to put and it takes only a little while to dry, and its super pretty on the eyes!

anyways, i was browsing ebay and i saw that body shop has a similar one for two dinars only! i was super bummed out!  when i see a similar product that is cheaper, especially if i bought the more expensive one already, i really ... ugh... i hate that feeling!

anyways, when it came i tried it asap and i was consolated because sephora dries more quickly while the body shop takes a while, which means you cannot look up for a few minutes otherwise the glitters will go all over the eyelid.  but apart from that it's still pretty, because of the sparkles, of course...

a little smaller than sephora, but still a catch at two dinars!

now i have green and silver... yey!

tip of the week: STOP COMPULSIVE BUYING! :)

porky! i've missed u..

tinago ko kasi sya nung first pregnancy ko, tapos nung nag-general cleaning kami ni bambi nung friday nakita ko na yung headquarters nyang paperbag!

nilabhan ko sya sa washing machine and ngayon ang bango bango na nya! then naalala ko si titoy...

naliligo din daw sya sa washing machine, lol

hindi na ko masyadong nakakanood ng pilipinas got talent, after hindi makasama si rolando sa finals... hindi na rin ako nanonood ng agua bendita at rubi... mas gusto ko na lang matulog, katabi si porky at hello kitty...

some good things never last...

wala pa ngang 2 linggo, maggugupit na naman ako ng kuko... gustong-gusto ko pa namang mahaba sya.... pero at least hindi ako nasugatan!  kaya ok lang...

oo nga pala, eto sya this week:

konad m64 and konad black pearl + clear top coat...

stila smudge pot gel eyeliner

its the best of both worlds!

first, because ive tried pencil eyeliner from l'oreal, the noir eye smoker

which is ok if you're after the smudge look, coz pencil eyeliners are the best for smudged smokey eyes.

and having tried liquid eyeliner from 22k, which i would  really love because its the best in control, its as simple as drawing on your eyes, and you get the most defined lines ever.  but the pointed felt, as good as it feels on my eyelids, dries in a few days, which translates to poor investment. 

and i also tried to buy a hello kitty gel eyeliner but it smudges even if its dry, so i made a mental note not to buy products unless they have been proven and tested by others.  which means i have to search the internet for reviews first before buying something.

so my current favorite is now stila smudge pot!

i've read that its the most favorite gel eyeliner so i tried one from ebay, i cannot remember how much but it wouldn't be more than 10 dollars, and it's fairly small when i received it but i don't use much so i guess it will last for a year, maybe.

and it really is the best!  its creamy and simple to apply, and with the correct eyeliner brush (i use the one from watson's) you can make a decent line on your eye, you can even wing it if you want.  just let it dry (4-6 seconds) and it won't smudge even until you sleep (or i, sleep, in the afternoons), not like loreal where i wake up with raccoon eyes...

i love it!

paQUIto!

nagbbrowse ako sa ebay kanina... nakita ko:

kamukha ng boss ko yung leader... tawa kami ng tawa ni ate maricel! lol

resign! resign!

im sad

hindi nakapasok si rolando... why keith...?
