The weather is pretty nasty today, but for some odd reason, I like it. I hate having thunderstorms back home especially when I have to report for work that day in my smart casual outfit. I hated it even more when I lived in hellside (the real name of the place is hillside, but the streets are just HELL)you have to deal with big puddles of mud early in the morning and you might as well walk barefoot 'coz you get mud all over your stilettos and office pants. You're lucky if it's just mud, but sometimes hellside gives you more hell by giving you a flooded walkway with nowhere else to go. The house we live in was pretty, but the road is just way too worse to even describe. I survived a year there. Kudos to me and my 2 other roommies!

So the weather today reminded me of the Philippines, but this time I have a smile on my face 'coz I'm just lounging on the couch with the a/c on with no chances of changing into a smart casual outfit and catch the bus. And even if I have to report for work, the roads are paved and the bus stop is less than a block from where I live.

This gloomy Saturday afternoon is a perfect way to chillax, sip a hot cup of coffee (which I don't have right now), cover yourself up in a warm blanket, and listen to great music. Talk about having a relaxing weekend!

May you have a great weekend too! :)

Instead of hot coffee, I had hotdogs and hot rice hehehe. Ayos sa trip, diba?

Btw, I am glad you're here and hindi na sa hellside!

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

2012

I'm on a standstill. I feel so lost - I have lost myself into oblivion and I don't know if I can find myself again. All I see is darkness - I feel weak and hopeless. When will this agony end?  I want to be thankful for the blessings I have received, but the pain and challenges over shadows all the good things that are happening to me.  I feel like there's a dark cloud above me that just won't go away. It just sits there and I think it waits for me to feel really down and rain will just pour and wash way everything that I have left - my strength, hope, determination... everything. This feeling is killing me. When will the sun shine again? I want to quit. I can't quit. I wish I was a kid again, so I won't have to worry about grown up stuff. Growing up is hard, no one told me it is going to be easy in the first place. Who was I kidding?  I have to get out of this rut and be my strong, sure self again. This feeling is tiring.  I need that little glimmer o...

My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here:  http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html . I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale ...
