FOTD: Things Get Better not by Chance but by Change

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” – Barack Obama

It was a blur to me at first and my decision to join and stand up for this cause was not that strong. I almost backed out because I feel like I don’t need this and that these people can do it by themselves. But when I prayed really hard, asked God to give me the wisdom in making decisions, really took the time to listen to Him, my eyes were opened to the real reason why He wants me to stay – it’s because I am part of the change that He has been planning. I needed to step out of my comfort zone and experience so many changes to be able to realize that I do not need to live the kind of life I used to have just to keep me satisfied – that true happiness comes from knowing that what you are doing is creating an impact and that you have, genuinely, touched lives and inspired people.

FOTD: Beautiful in My Own Color

“Ma, let’s go white this Chrtistmas!”

I guess I just wanted something simple and easy to sync with everyone else. When you say red, people can come up with different shades of red and same goes with the other colors; but when you say white – may iba pa bang shade ang white? And I just bought a new white top so, I pushed for it.

L'Oreal Paris le teint True Match in Nude Amber

If I become comfortable over a certain product, it’s usually hard for me to let go of it. It will become a staple in my stash for months and even years depending on how long I’d stay in love with it. For about a year, I have been attached to my SanSan BB Cream and was very comfortable with it because (1) it works and (2) it’s super inexpensive. What more can you ask for, right? But during a sale in Landmark, I was, impulsively, pushed to try out a new foundation out of the blue.

FOTD: The Night Before Christmas

“Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday. This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus. Let it be the one to guide us, as another New Year starts. And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts. ”

What is Christmas to us? A lot of us know about how the real reason for the season is Jesus Christ; but do we really live up to the belief? It is one thing to know and another to act it out and I guess, not a lot of us are intentionally living up to how Christ would prefer us to celebrate His birthday.

FOTD: C'est la vie

These past few days have been very busy for me. I have been really stressed with work, mentally, to be specific. I mean, it’s hard when you do writing as a job and as a hobby. I find it a bit overwhelming at times. Work can sometimes drain all the creative thoughts up my head that there would be moments when I would be left with none for my blog. It kind of sucks, I know. But you know what, despite of that, I am still here because of my passion for the craft and because of what I stand for.

FOTD: Loving Him was Red

“Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you...”

FOTD: This Office Girl on a Rainy Day

After one week of not putting any makeup on, my face has finally cleared out from the breakout and I am back to putting makeup on only this time – I need a change of habit. I need to stop procrastinating and start taking good care of my skin. Since I never had any acne or major breakout problem, I kind of have taken skin care for granted and chose to put makeup on and concealing the blemishes rather than preventing the stupid acne to pop out. And now I have learned my lesson. My facialist was surprised at my breakout because they weren’t noticeable till she removed my makeup before our session – YIKES!

FOTD: You're Gonna Believe Them

“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine...”

FOTD: A Fierce Facade

Countdown until my Soul Card Reading session and I must say that although I am excited, I am still scared.

FOTD: You Make Me Swoon

“I should know by now this is bound to get messy but I don’t care. No, I don’t care!”

FOTD: Date Ready

“You set it again my heart’s in motion every word feels likes shooting star. I’m at the edge of my emotions watching the shadows burning in the dark...”

June's Collective Haul + Some Gifts

 

Hello July!

I know you all must be so tired of reading my line about how June would be and have been great for me. July, however, I am totally clueless of what to expect. Celine (Fashiometics.wrodpress.com) is back in the US and my cousins would be too come Saturday (July 6, 2013). This is a bad news because I’d miss them terribly but on the brighter side of things, at least, I can finally start saving up since my birthday would be coming in a few months.  Anyway, I would just like to share with you guys a few stuff I’ve recently acquired. Yep, this is more of an update sort of post rather than a review or an outfit/face of the day thingy.

FOTD: GLAMorena

I am not a fan of whitening products.
