I went to the eye doctor today to pick up my new glasses. I went there last week to have my eyes checked and the doctor told me that my eye grade went down so I need to get my lenses changed. I tried a few bunch of frames and this is the one I got. I've been wanting bigger frames for quite a while now and I've finally got the chance to have it changed. Hurray! My eye grade is only 100 now on both eyes. The doctor told me that my eye sight was improving and that I should keep it up but I don't know how I've managed to bring my grade down.

Then I went to "The Tea Life" in Binondo located at Mandarin Square building to chill out for a while. I love this shop. They offer good food at very affordable prices. I ordered this yummy green tea ice cream with blueberry and pudding which cost me only P90.00 ( 2.22 USD ). This shop in my opinion sells the most delicious ice cream here in Binondo. Their serving isn't that big but after I ate my order I was so full and I was shaking because the weather was cold and the store's air conditioning was quite strong. Even so, I enjoyed my visit here and I will surely come back again sometime soon.

 I find that this is the perfect place to chill out on days when you feel down and gloomy. I dunno why but I felt really happy and energized the whole time I was at the shop. Maybe its because of those cute stuffed frogs they have on display or maybe it's because of their shop's color (green) which is very calming and pleasing to the eyes.

I also started documenting my diet. I hope that by doing this I would become more attentive to things that I'm eating. My goal is to lessen my sugar intake but I guess it would take me a while to overcome my sweet tooth. I need to start putting an end to all of my sweet cravings. Cheers to me and the start of making change in my lifestyle. I hope that I'd be able to pull it off.

January 20, 2013

Today is a chill day. My family and I went to SM earlier today to buy stuffs at healthy options. Then we stopped by the grocery store to pick up some all purpose cream for the tiramisu my sister is going to make. After, we went home and slapped these masks on just to de-stress and enjoy the company of each other. 

Hahaha It felt like we were ambassadors of etude house and the face shop (Well a girl can dream right). Nothing beats a nice quality time with your siblings. My sister just finished her exams so it was the perfect opportunity for us to wind down.

Keep calm and put on a face mask

Once in a while treat your skin to some good stuff. 

I've been sleeping up late for a while now 

and my skin's been totally dry and flaky so I decided to slap on a face mask. 

I'm a vampire so I usually stay up late and sleep early in the morning.

I know it's bad but I can't help it. My mind works the best at night. 

Gosh I need to fix my sleeping routine. Okay now on to the mask thingy. 

I used The Face Shop's real nature mask sheet in pomegranate.

Pomegranate is high in vitamins and anti-oxidants. 

It helps in anti-aging, cell regeneration, sun protection 

and it also makes your skin appear youthful and firmer. 

I've been told by my dermatologist that pomegranate helps improve the skin. 

It's extract helps lighten scaring that might have been caused by acne.

You will need to leave the mask on for a good 20 minutes so that your skin will absorb all the good stuff. 

I ended up watching pokemon while waiting for the good 20 minutes of mask indulgence. 

Aaaahhhh tha mask smells nice! My skin feels so hydrated now. 

I think I need buy more of it asap.  

Until my next post,

Rock on ladies ☺

Holiday and post holiday craziness

Holiday is over now but I still can't find the time to do a beauty related post since I've been crazy doing artworks to stack in my portfolio. Then there's the holiday fever and the post holiday procrastination... I didn't seem to be too much productive during the holidays. I'll try my best to be diligent in posting more beauty and fashion stuffs soon (cross fingers). Well here's what I've been up to the past few weeks.

This is just a random doodle art I did out of boredom. 

Another doodle I made to celebrate the start of my 2013 :)

I'm in the process of making it digital and it looks like it will take a while before I get to finish this project.

Teehee I'm so obsessed with aliens at the moment.

Environment painting 101.. 

Some cutie vectors to add to my character designs.

Well my holiday was a bit boring but I really enjoyed it a lot because I got to spend some quality time with my family and friends. I went to UST's 2012 Paskuhan and it was crazy! (as always)

The 3 saints on the roof of the main building..They look so dark and gloomy.

Aww and the beautiful main building.. Paskuhan truly gives you the Christmas feel.

Then I welcomed the new year by watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
This is such a nice anime.

My siblings and I totally recalled parts of our childhood while watching Pokemon season 1.

haha I'm such an anime fan. Well it is a big part of my childhood and I'll always be a fan of it.
Too bad I didn't get the chance to take photos of our food lusting. We were too excited to eat our noche buena and media noche that we forgot to document everything before eating.

Well that's about it for my holiday and post holiday adventure.
I hope that 2013 will be a blast for me.
Until my next post.

Flipping thru my sketch book

Hi everyone! Meet my sketchbook.. ☺

Let's flip through the pages..

Art for me is not just something I do when I'm bored.

It's an outlet and a source of inspiration for me.

When I draw, I feel that positive energy flows in me.

I feel happy and full of new found strength.

My props tools and cosmetics entry

I was browsing my facebook news feed earlier today when Props tools and cosmetics' anniversary giveaway banner grabbed my attention.

Apparently the said brand is giving away a grand prize of over P 2,000 worth of cosmetics to the lucky winners.

Just looking at this lovely flair palette makes me drool...

and the grand prize winner gets to take this Flair palette and brush set home! Lucky! 

For the 3 consolation prize winners, each will receive a wink palette. Still lucky!

So yeah I decided to join the contest and posted my entry earlier today (December 20, 2012). Then I found out that it was also the last day. Gasps! hahaha hopefully sana umabot ung entry ko.

The contest is all about "enhanced natural beauty". You'll have to post a picture of yourself interpreting your enhanced natural beauty. That's it. The judges for this contest are Ms. Bing castro of The project awesome, Ms. Joyce Sola of Candy love art and Ms. Chriselle Sy of Chriselle Sy Makeup Artistry.

Here's my entry:

I really wanted to show an effortless look. For me natural beauty is Confidence. As long as I'm confident of myself, my inner natural beauty will surely shine. 

Prior to doing my make-up I tied my hair in a bun so that it'll have loose and natural looking curls when I let it down. I used neutrals for this look since I wanted to give off a more subtle look. 

The lucky winners will be announced tomorrow December 21, 2012. 

Please help me by liking my entry. I'd really really appreciate it. 

Until my next post,

Rock on ladies! ☺

Naruto : Tragic turn of events

Seriously! For the past 2 chapters of Naruto(manga), people keep dying..
And not just people but outstanding characters.
I was in total shock after I read the latest update chapter 614.
Let's go over some happenings 2 chapters ago.

In chapter 613, Shikaku and Inoichi died.

Photos from www.mangahere.com

 Shikaku realizes that the Juubi was aiming at their head quarters.

 Shikaku and the others until their very last delivered their final mission.

Grr seeing these two makes my blood boil..
Well they play the antagonist part quite perfectly.

Then in chapter 614, Hyuuga Neji died.
He was one of my favorites T_T

Why did he have to use his body as a shield? 

Then his last words to Naruto...X_X 

Awww.. At least he died gallantly.

It's just sad to know that it's the end of the road for one of my favorite characters.

I really admired him alot. He's the perfect depiction of a talented person for me.. Quite the genius indeed.
