A very personal blog

Whatever happened to my supposed pic spam?

ah these pictures were taken eons ago (exagge, 2 weeks ago tops haha) but i still wanted to share them with you! here’s how i would like to summarize my week from now on … assuming i’ll be religiously updating this weekly pic spam i decided to take on. bwaha

Domino’s Pizza @ Fairview Terraces

i took a picture of the box because look, DESIGN! <3 i don’t even know how their old pizza boxes looked like but this is now my favorite pizza box (not that i keep tabs on other boxes)! witty lines all over the carton too, if you’d gladly zoom in hehe. oh, they have FUTURE ORDERING how cool is that? 
jeckie and i tried this buy 1 take 1 promo they have, that’s pepperoni and american bacon cheese burger (now, droooool) on the photo. yes, we finished them all, 70-30 (i’m the 30, okay?! no hatin’)! 
in fairness, it’s really good! the crust is pendesal-ish, very Angel’s and (the new) Greenwich. the service is also fast, you’re not waiting 30 mins for your food otherwise it’s on them. oh yes. 

Curves Gym

a women-only gym w/ the motto “No men, no makeup, no mirrors” read about my experience here!

Leveling up my beauty regimen

ANO RAW?! since when did i have beauty regimen? haha nope i don’t really have a regular skin care routine because i never really worry about my face. but then one day, while i was fondly looking at my recent pictures, i noticed that shooocks ang tanda ko na pala tingnan (#mejoExagge). all the laughter life has given me has accumulated into fine lines around my eyes! crows feet alert! AAAARGH!

so this is how it feels to wage war against the signs of skin ageing. homaygas. it doesn’t help that anti-ageing skin products cost so muuuuuch (like Php 1,000+++++ for an effective brand), so since i’m still in my 20s i decided to moisturize first. it’s not anti-ageing per se but it keeps the skin from getting dry and that’s kind of a step forward for trying to hide fine lines. bwahaha. plus it’s summer na, so there’s this need to hydrate more!

i decided to try Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer because the reviews are good, it’s available everywhere, it’s fragrance free (read: allergies), and the packaging looks legit — parang Cetaphil ang arrive haha.

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer
so yeaahh, let’s try that! plus girly points to me for taking care of my skin! will probably review this someday. haha

Sofitel

my mom was awarded her 14th year as a MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) awardee (plus some other awards) so yeheyyyy for ma! we stayed overnight at Sofitel and ate breakfast at Spiral (NOT Spirals) and took pictures everywhere cos 5 star hotels are almost always picturesque, yeah?

Currently Reading

I think i’m putting the Harry Potter series as one of my favorite books, with special regard to The Prisoner of Azkaban cos i believe it’s where the series took an emotional turn, with Harry being introduced to more truths and more people involved around the killing of his parents.

i’m on the fourth installment and i’m still as excited as ever to read it!!!

Currently Watching

Harry Potter din! i’m re-watching the series for the nth time and this is by far the most fascinating because i get to cross-inspect it from the book. there’s this urge to list down scenes which were not included in the movie and all but well. #katamad

Work and all that

again, i want to resign. maybe i’ll bring this up to my manager next time we talk. i always get this feeling that no matter how hard i try in this industry, it’s always going to end up frustrating for me. i have totally 0 passion for software development.

it’s a scary thing to shift careers because, where am i gonna work? who’s gonna take me? how do i pay my bills? but then the possibility of a happier life excites me to no end. whew. what does it feel like to freelance? to build your own portfolio and sell yourself to clients? to work at the comfort of your home and wake up to a job that makes you happy?

oh my, i am so ready for this, but nonetheless scared… because i’m probably not big enough support myself financially. but.. haaaay Lord! grant me wisdom!
