I'm not a makeup girl + an Elianto Eyeshadow Palette from Kikay Corner

My most glamorous makeup-is-my-bestfriend moment.

This was taken in my graduation pictorial in college. I know I did look my very best that day, about to finish college and stuff, posing for the yearbook, and with all those makeup the gay beautician put on me, it’s a wonder not to look best.


Well this is me in real life. Funny me to even post my unlikely picture here: no makeup, greasy face, whatever. This was taken on an early morning, what with my still ruffled hair huh.

You see, I was never the makeup girl. Even now, I don’t think I put on makeup the right way when I come in the office. But still, no matter how wrong I feel my makeup is, I still try to put color in my most-of-the-time bland pretty face. Haha!

Oh, I tried here.


When I attended the 3rd Phil. Graphic Fiction Awards with my sister being the finalist.

And here.


At the Christmas Party with my first company.

And at the latest here.


At the First, Fun, Fearless COSMO Eyeball.

So what do you think, did I got my makeup right?

The day after the last event, I heard about this contest Kikay Corner is having: an Elianto Eyeshadow Palette! This comes with a pressed powder, 6 eyeshadows and an eyeshadow brush. Hurray~


Just merely looking at it, I feel this could really help me in my dilemma. I haven't tried wearing eyeshadows, except for rare occasions, because I tend to overdo it. But these eyeshadow palette has mostly light colors, just perfect t give color without going overboard. Plus, the cover with its pink graphic design is just too inviting!

Thus, a full face make-up kit minus the blush-on and lipstick. I don’t wear mascara or eyeliner by the way. I figure if I can have this, I could be greatly motivated to learn (and learn well at that) the basics of proper make-up use. And I never had an expensive makeup item, it’s either I can’t afford it or I think it’s just not worth the extra extra bucks.

Do you remember in your elementary years where your mom buys you that really really good Cattleya notebook equipped with an embroidered pen for your English subject (or any of your hated subject for that matter)? You really hated English but because of your new incredible things you could at least try right?

This might do the trick for me as a Cattleya notebook would back then. Maybe this is my chance to re-learn English (in this case, using makeup) what with my brand new Cattleya notebook (and in my case, an Elianto Eyeshadow Palette like this if only Elinato and Kikay Corner forbid I win)! Yehey to that. XD

For the contest mechanics, (I recommend you join too so everyone knows the good news!) click HERE.

PS. In my time, a Cattleya notebook costs a lot. :D

Your Heart Takes Love Seriously

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who is ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.

In this moment, you think of love as a commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

This is the result when I took this quiz.

I like the first line.

Experience Boracay like the FIRST TIME

Boracay is an island in the Philippines located in its Western Visayas region. It was voted as one of the best beaches in the world by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook and in 1996, it is proclaimed as the world’s number one tropical beach by TV Quick. Surely, it is one of our country’s major prides.

I know this and yet I’ve never been to Boracay.

I’m not in that part of my life where I get to spend much on travelling, so at this stage, thinking of my first encounter with the famous Boracay is the best I can do (plus save for next summer!).

In my first time in Boracay, I will:


Feel the world-renowned Boracay sand, and maybe bottle a handful of it as a souvenir.


Have a relaxing time under the shade of a tree. With a mesmerizing beauty like this, I could not help staring.


Be taken aback by the nature’s beauty: the white sand, the little waves punching eagerly on shore, wind hustling crazily on coconut trees…


And gasp at the first sight of the hotel where I’ll be staying, the Mediterranean-inspired lounge is oh-so inviting for a quiet and relaxing vacation.


Have a glimpse of Boracay from my room-tall window in my requested double room.

http://www.microtel-boracay.com/boracay/decor_facilities01_boracay.jpg
And linger in its upview, with the man-made swimming pool below as tempting as the beach itself.


Vow to score all the outdoorsy activities like the Banana Boat, Jetski, Zipline, Zorb and others that I’m too excited and a little nervous to try. Nevertheless, I will not let the opportunity pass me by.


Fall in love with the transient swirling of the sky colors nearing dawn. See how it emphasizes the homely atmosphere of the resort hotel.


Dine with my best friends in this too-comfortable setting beside the pool.


And enjoy a cold sip of my favorite martini.


After dinner, the cold breeze of the night intensifies our longing for a comfort like home.


And home won’t be that far with the queen-sized beds US Chiropractic Association approved in our double room, equipped with a cable television and AC for a good morning after.


Engage in an amicable conversation with my friends over our complimentary almusal. If I could wake up like this EVERY day…


I know I would be happy, but I know I can’t. I just hope I get to see Boracay the way I intend to even for as short as 3 days and 2 nights. Ain’t those days just the kind of days we will always long for?



And I know all these will be possible if I stay at Microtel Inns & Suites for they’ve been the BEST hotel in Boracay to beat not once, not twice but EIGHT years in a row. You see, eight years, that’s not negotiable. It’s the most grandiose it can ever get.

Indeed, in Microtel Inns & Suites Hotel, you can experience Boracay as if the first time.
