Little things I got after getting my first paycheck

It was payday last Thursday and it was my day off yesterday, so I got the chance to shop for stuff I want. *winks* I feel good seeing my paycheck 'coz I know it's money I worked so hard for. At least I won't have to give my hubs a headache everytime I want to buy something. Since it's my first paycheck, I bought stuff that aren't really expensive. I don't have a car yet, so I didn't have the chance to go the mall and pick out some stuff. I wanted to buy shoes and a cute purse, but that has to wait. We have bills to pay, so I can't just use all my paycheck on things I just want. But getting these simple things yesterday made me feel happy inside. 'Coz I was able to buy it with my own hard earned money.

I'm not allergic to Maybelline, so I got these stuff I need

Here are the rest of the stuff I got: Sponge applicators for my foundation, facial wash, eyeliner, concealer, mascara, lip balm, lipstick, face powder, nail polish, and blush

I know that most women would prefer MAC and all the other high end stuff, but I have to be realistic and practical, so those expensive stuff will have to wait. I can settle for these drugstore brands, 'coz they work for me and it's not heavy on the pocket.

I gotta start saving for a car.

Oks lang naman kahit drug store brand, and importante ay hindi ka allergic. They wouldn't know if it's MAC or Walgreens pag nasa mukha na diba? :-)

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.

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

Happy thanksgiving!

This is my first thanksgiving in the US and I really insisted that we have a thanksgiving dinner with the traditional turkey. My husband was kind enough to give in to my demand and helped me get all the stuff we need for dinner. We invited 3 of his friends over, since both of us don't have families here (I have relatives in Clermont, but they had plans for thanksgiving too). We had this huge turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, apple-cranberry cobbler, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie (the last 3 sides were still in the oven, that's why I wasn't able to include it in this photo). We just watched football after dinner and I'm glad that my husband's friends were happy about their meal. They all said I did a good job in preparing it and hearing that made me very happy because that means I am successful on my first ever hosting experience. Yeah, this was also my first time to host a dinner gathering without my mom around to tell me what to do. Today, I am...
