Delightful Illusions

Ola! :D I'm sorry if this took a few days to be posted. I was busy with work and school, I'm feeling a little bit tired actually. Anyways, I shot these last night but I wasn't able to blog right after because I felt so drained. Don't worry, guys. I'm okay. I'm taking vitamins. Health is wealth, right? Haha! I'm not going into details on the items I will about to show you because I don't want this post to be lenthgy. I'm not bragging or anything like that. I just want to share the stuff that I got for the holiday.

As you can see at the title, it's "holidays" not "Christmas". I meant, during the holiday season. I received some of these earlier and some were on New Year. I bougth half of these for myself as Christmas gifts using the money I received from my salary and my brother. Thank you, bro! :) To tell you honestly guys, I wasn't expecting anything for Christmas because I usually don't get gifts. But, I was surprised of the number of gifts I received this holiday season. Your gifts are so much appreciated. 

A limited edition cologne. From my officemate.

A pair of shoes. Thanks, mama!

Baby Pink Uni Silver watch. So sweet of you, cousin. 

Pink Panther shirt from mommy. 


A loot bag packed with a prayer book, rosary bracelet and a turtle key chain. Thanks, officmate.

Gifts from another officemate. Loved your letter. It's my favorite. 

A charm bracelet from another officmate. This is really pretty. :)

A lace skirt that I bought from Gaisano.

Nail stones from Shop & Match.

Nail decorations from S & M as well.

Sivanna Colors mascara bought from Gaisano.

Nail lacquers with an eyeshadow palette. 

A fashion jelly watch. Loving the color so much.

A classic ring from Shop & Match. 


Elf Blush Brush. So excited. 

A monkey shirt. I'm a monkey myself. 

I'm looking forward to update again. Talk to you again so soon. Have a nice day. Be safe always. XOXO

Happy New Year!! How are you, guys? It felt like I haven't blogged since forever. I know, I've said this for a lot of times, but I'm really sorry. I am truly busy with work and graduate school. My Decemebr has never been so loaded before; work-related activities, endless parties and other appointments. It was so insane. Haha! But, I admit, I enjoyed a lot. By the way, nobody entered the giveaway so I guess I'll just delete that post. :)

I'll post some pictures of my recent whereabouts. How I wish I could show you all the pictures, there all on my personal Facebook account. It's private. Haha! :) *Please click the images for a larger view.

Welcome Party (December 12)

 

Faculty and Staff Christmas Parties (December 21 and December 23)

 




Cousin's Wedding (December 23 - Afternoon)




So, those are some of the pictures of my previous activities. I'm brain storming for topics that I will be posting. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I think I will be blogging my "What I Got For Holidays" post. I hope it's okay with you. Before I end this, please let me share this message with you. :)

"I can never thank you all enough for the things you have for me. Family friends, salamat gid sa suporta and love niyo. Thank you for pushing me to show the world what I have to offer. My perception on myself has changed.

To all of those who hurt me, I've already forgiven you. You know who you are. 

To all who I have offended, I'm sorry. It's not intentional. I hope you can forgive me.

2013 has been a fruitful year for me. Some of my dreams came true. I landed on a great job, was enrolled on graduate school without problems, and became a better person than I was yesterday.

To God, thank for not abonding us through the times when we were so down. I'm overwhlemed by your blessings. You truly rock! 

Have a Happy New to all of you. God Bless! May all of your dreams come true."

       Ola! :) How are you, my dear readers? As you know, if you have been reading my blog posts, I'm already working. My schedule is very hectic nowadays since I'm also enrolled at a Graduate School. Sunday is the only day I have to do other matters. I will be honest with you, I might be inactive again. But, I'm never ever going to abandon this blog like what I did at my previous one. Haha! :) I'm still getting used to this busy routine, but I know I'm gonna make it. It just needs a little bit of adjustment. 

       Today, I will be posting about my top 3 favorite clothing brands as part of the 30 Day Beauty Blog Post Challenge. These brands that I'm about to feature can all be found all over the Philippines. 


Check there clothes out: Kamiseta Online
        First on my list is Kamiseta. They sell everyday basic clothes and limited edition pieces designed by some known designers. Their clothes are always unique, girly, and approriate for all ages. I know clothes in this store is expensive, ranging from Php 3000 - 500 (estimation only). But, once they have a sale, it's going crazy. Their branch at SM North Edsa always have a sale on all of their items, from 50%-70% off. Isn't that amazing?



Check there clothes out: Bayo Clothing
        My top 2 is Bayo, this brand could be found everywhere. They are really growing big. Their clothes are perfect for work, if you are a career woman you will appreciate their designs. They also give 50% discount seasonally.

Check there clothes out: Crissa Jeans
       If you are looking for affordable jeans that doesn't strectch and fade easily, definitely for for Crissa. They're jeans lasts for years with minimal fading only. I have a ankle-fit skinny pants from them, I use it all the time, but it didn't strecth at all. I actually featured it on one of my ootds, here: First OOTD: Pink Plaid and Skinny Jeans | June 07, 2013 .

Random Ramblings:
  • I was watching beauty videos when I remembered a certain vlogger. So I searched for her and immediately re-subscribed. I was scanning her videos when I stumbled upon on this certain video of hers talking about what happened to the Philippines. It made me cry because her message was so touching. See it for yourself. She's indeed beautiful inside and out. 

       Thanks for reading. Have a Blessed Sunday to all of you. Stay safe. XOXO and lots of love.

Hello! :) Today's post is about my favorite animal. I'm pretty sure it's not much of a surprise if I say that dog id my favorite animal. Most of people do love dogs. Generally, they are loving, fun to be with, intelligent and very playful. They are truly man's best friend. If you treat them right, they will be loyal to you and protect you with all their life. 

Specifically, my favorite is pitbull. People would think that these pitties are really dangerous because of their lock-jaw capability. I think it's not something that you would be afraid of if you are an owner of a pitbull. They look scary in terms of physical apperance, but if you'll observere them for a long time, you will notice that they want to play most of the times. They make these funny noises and movements. A little scratch on the head and they make this cute faces telling something like: "Oooh, I like that. Please don't stop. Oh, on my tummy too. ^_^"  We have two of them and both are really fun to watch. We just cage them, but we let them out at times so they could enjoy too.

I have my own pitbull. Her name's Ashley, a hybrid between pitbull and rottweiler. I have her for 3 years and 8 months now. I just don't know why didn't she grew up like a really scary dog. Haha! Here are some of her pictures over the years. The last one's a recent video of her which I uploaded on YouTube. You can watch it on HD. :)








Random Ramblings:
  • I noticed that my camera shots good quality videos. Maybe I'll upload some beauty and fashion videos. What can you say, guys?
  • As always, I'm busy, busy, busy. I'll start working the week. Yay! :)
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO and lots of love. ;)

        Hi! ^_^ How are you, my dear lovely readers? There's a lot of stuff going on my life right now and I feel like I haven't been connected to you for a while even though I blog often times. For those of you who didn't know, I'm enrolled at the Graduate School, taking up M.A. in Guidance and Counseling. Also, I'm employed again! Yay! I'll just submit my employment requirements and I can already start working. Thank you so much God for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me. I also express my outmost gratitude to the people of the world  who gave donations to the victims of supertyphoon Yolanda/Haiyan. God Bless you all! :)

       As you have noticed, I skipped Day 05 which is the Favorite Makeup Brand challenge. I can't make up my mind yet about this topic. It's hard to choose because I don't buy from a single brand. Give me some time. guys. I'll get back to that. :) Anyways, this challenge is to post anything Hello Kitty. I'm not sure if it's beauty realated or just Hello Kitty in general.

        I chose to post this Hello Kitty container because thi is my favorite thing from my collection. Yeah, this kitty is my favorite cartoon character. :) I got this last year at SM North Edsa, somewhere around the sky garden. If you have been there last year around November-December, you would have most probably noticed the Hello Kitty overload. There were HK stands all over the place, it was like kitty is having a fiesta. Haha! Of course, I enjoyed the scenario. Going back, this was sold at Php199 and is licensed by the Sanrio Corporation. This was supposed to be a candy container, but since I don't eat a lot of candies, I stored clean wedge makeup sponges instead. It looks better on my stash. I tried to use this as a tumbler but it didn' work out pretty well. Plus, the water was dripping. :)  


Hello Kitty  Candy Container

"Meooooooow..."

Cuteness overload.

The bottom is adorable.

Too much pink. Haha!
Random Ramblings:
  • I'm currently listening to Superstar by Jamelia. It's a nice song, sets the right attitude. 
  • Pictures for the Shower Routine was just uploaded. It might be up in a few days. Haha!

Thank you so much for reading. Have a blessed Sunday! Stay safe. XOXO and lots of love. ;)
