What's in my kikay pouch?

shop-a-holic
I thought my kikay pouch deserves its own post since it also contains a number of stuff. These are what I have right now and I change them just randomly. 

inside my kikay kit

1 - floral kikay pouch; 2 - Revlon Colorstay 2-way foundation in Natural Beige; 3 - Maybelline Shine-Free Cake Powder refill in Natural; 4 - Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Energizing Orange; 5 - Mary Kay mini brushes; 6 - Human Heart Nature Mineral Blush in Tropical Rose; 7 - small nail clipper; 8 - Human Heart Nature Tinted Lip Balm in Island Kiss; 9 - Human Heart Nature Choco Fudge Lip Balm; 10 - The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain; 11 - Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Teak Rose; 12 - CoverGirl Lipstick in Captivate Seduite; 13 - NYX Round Lipstick in Perfect; 14 - The Face Shop Diamond Shine Lip Gloss; 15 - Clean & Clear Oil Control Film; 16 - Visine; 17 - Maybelline 2-in-1 Impact Shadow Liner + Marionnaud eyebrow brush + clear case for my eyebrow stuff; 18 - Rosary; 19 - safety pins; 20 - pony tails; 21 - hair clips

I realized some time ago that I am no make up junkie. I do have a stash at home but since I seldom use them, I thought I need to stop buying and start using what I have. Eyeshadow would be the least make up that I use simply because I have these specs that I cannot live without. I have dry and sensitive eyes that go red all the time. I do enjoy getting new lippies once in a while, like the Covergirl lipstick that Ara gave me for my birthday.

Conti's Cakes

Conti's Cakes

I celebrated my 29th birthday last week. Nothing fancy. We just took the day off from work and then heard the mass at St. Jude Thaddeus Chapel, went shopping at Greenhills, had a footspa at Gloss in Eastwood, and then dined at Momo for dinner.

The day before my birthday, I was thinking of getting a small cheesecake from Cafe Mary Grace. Being the sweet tooth that I am, I do not let any occasion pass by without a cake. But when I checked the small cheesecake, it was way to small for me so I decided to try other deli shops and thought about Conti's. They have a branch in Katipunan, which is along the way home. Convenient!

It was kind of a surprise to know that Conti's cakes aren't really expensive. I've always thought they're pricey because I've heard a lot of raves about how soshal and bongga they are. LOL. Anyway, I bought two cakes since I couldn't decide whether I like New York Cheesecake or Mango Bravo, so I got them both.

My verdict for the cakes...well, I didn't like either much. The NY Cheesecake wasn't baked, and I think they should've just put no-bake cheesecake so I'd know what to expect. The Mango Bravo had too much butter icing, which I didn't like a lot. But it's okay. I got to share the cheesecake with my teammates. Maybe I'll try other Conti's cakes some other time and see if they have something better that those two. =)

Me
justice for given

Today we cry for justice for Given Grace Cebanico, a BS ComSci student in UPLB, who was found dead in the campus. She was robbed and shot. UPLB is such a serene environment and knowing something like this happened in my second home is just heartbreaking.

It's Christmas!

smooch


This year I decided to put up a Christmas tree. I initially wanted to put it up on All Saints' weekend because it's a long weekend (I hope), but I already bought everything, so why wait? We bought the decorations from Dapitan Arcade last week and then bought the tree from SM last Friday. When we got home, I got a little too excited that I started to put them together. Ogie helped me and he's happy about it, too.

What happened in July


There's my Lola's 86th birthday, our wedding anniversary, our first trip to Mindoro as H&W, but I'm not posting any of those events. haha. Instead, I have some random and kinda nonsense photos from July.


First, I painted my nails with this orange matte polish from Etude. It's cute, but it chips very easily.
I also bought another matte in light blue and I've already forgotten to use it. I think the Etude nail polishes are not that good.


Here's another shot of my orange nails with my newest lippy.


I got this Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Teak Rose from Revlon. I used to be afraid of trying dark colors on my full lips.
It turns out to be okay naman pala. My next color to buy is a dark shade of pink and I'm thinking of picking one from Mac.


Here's the color on my lips. I'm a lipstick person! I can live without blush or mascara.


Although we didn't celebrate our anniversary, O still got me a present (that I chose).
He got me these Just Cavalli eyeglasses. :-)


Lastly, the planking craze. This is my teammate, Isaac, during a lazy afternoon.
He got to do the planking; I just didn't get to catch it with my slow phone cam. :(

the bag dilemma

shop-a-holic
I've been wanting a Longchamp Le Pliage for the longest time, but haven't actually gone to getting one. I think it looks simple and a lot of girls buy it. Bandwagon, I know... Now, my officemates, Sel and Janelle, are buying and they're asking me to join them. Talk about peer pressure. :-) O told me that I can buy one and that'd be his wedding anniv gift to me. It actually didn't help that I told him. I was hoping he'd say no and I'd play an obedient wife. ;-p

I'm just asking myself why I need to buy a bag now that I have purchased four bags this year already. I've got a Kenneth Cole Reaction, a Lacoste, a Mango, and a Nine West shoulder bag. The Le Pliage would be my fifth bag in 6 months! Oh my! But hey...I'm thinking that's okay because I've been refraining from buying shoes because if I get pregnant, my feet will be swollen and I would not get to wear those pretty shoes that I have. Same with clothes. I'm trying hard not to buy blouses and pants because if my tummy gets really big, I will have no use for them for a long time.

But with bags, they will be there until they're worn out and old and faded. I actually told O that this will be my second to the last lust bag (for now). I told him I'll stop when I get myself a Coach bag. He didn't believe me and I didn't believe myself either. Bag lovin' will never stop.

Let's see. :D

Accessories for less

Accessories galore


One of my office friends, Janelle, is fond of DIY accessories and stuff. I learned from her from our recent bargain trip that she gets the materials for her DIY projects at Villalobos Street in Quiapo. She told me I should check it out because the accessories there are insanely cheap.

Ogie and I had our passport renewal appointment at DFA yesterday, June 8. We actually filed a leave for the whole day even if I knew that we'll just probably take half a day in DFA because I wanted badly to go to Quiapo. It actually took us only an hour to have our passports renewed and despite the non-stop raining, we still went to Villalobos St. I checked several stores until I found my haven at Wellmanson Store.

The best summer outing ever!

relaxed


So true yet so false. For one, this is my first summer outing in Trend Micro. I never joined the past years' outing because: 1) my teammates did not join, need i say more? 2) the past 2 or 3 summer outings were day tours and I thought they're a waste of time. This time, the company planned on an overnight event at Montemar Beach Club in Bagac, Bataan. My teammates and I agreed that we should come since we have not had an overnight event (would you believe that?) in the past 3 years. There are two dates for the summer outing, I guess because we're operating 24/7 and support teams can divide and join batch 1 and 2.

We joined Batch 1 (May 28-29). It was typhoon Chedeng's week in the Philippines and on Friday, May 27, Pag-asa announced that rainy season has officially started. Thank you! We still went though, and here is our story.
