Happy New Year!

17 days of holidays is simply fantastic! Just don’t want it to end…

Here’s my last post for this year…

Hate, Hate, Hate!

Power if not managed properly can be abusive and ruthless…

It is such a big shame to have leaders like them. Tsk!

Memories of Christmas

I have fond memories of Christmas specially when I was a kid. I get giddy every start of “Ber” months, which is in September. I usually do my ‘research’ of what gifts to ask from my parents and of course, Santa Clause. Yes, I believe in Santa and will always do. *wink*

Would you believe that I started writing to Santa even before I learned how to write? I remember Daddy holding my hands as I scribble the letters to come up with words to complete a sentence. *heehee* My letter always starts with “Dear Santa…” and ends with “I’ve been a good girl this year”. *hahaha* In the middle, I ask for what I want for Christmas. Many times, I asked for Barbie dolls and lots of chocolates! *smiles* Whatever I ask, Santa gives *beams* and this privilege happens only once a year. *wink*

Middle of December, my brothers and myself will rummage through our Daddy’s closet to get the oldest and biggest tennis socks we can use. Socks should always be 4. For myself and my 3 brothers.

We put our letters inside the socks and hang them outside our windows. This made us so thrilled to wake up early morning of Christmas day to see if our socks are filled up with chocolates and the gifts we’ve been meaning to have. It was always a success year on year! *hahaha* Then we all go to church together.

I’m blessed to have happy childhood memories. Reason why I try my very best to instill good ones to my ‘pamangkins’ on my own special way…

Merry Christmas! ☺☺☺

Can't Wait...

I'm Back!

So my friends were asking me what was it that I was doing in the last few weeks that I’ve been keeping my blog outdated.

Nothing much, just all work.

Now, I’m enjoying holidays!

Bliss. ☺☺☺

My Genie

For many months, I’ve been looking for a certain powder of MAC. Since it is a limited edition, (sold out everywhere in Asia) I lost hope on getting one. I actually forgot about it already.

Then, a very good friend sent me one from US...






The exact shade I’ve been dying to have. *yipee*

Thank you very much Cyl! ☺☺☺

Thanks for being my Genie. *smiles*

You don’t know how grateful I am for this special gift. I had to road test it this morning (I super like it!) and will continue using every single day! I LAV ET! *LOL*

Here’s a BIG hug to you mare! ☺

Ho! Ho! Ho!

50 days to go before Christmas.

WOW!

P.S. Happy Birthday to my dearest father-in-law (FIL). Wish you good health and long life. We love you! ☺

Ah!

Wouldn’t it be pleasant go home and sleep on this sanctuary? *smiles*


I would loooooove to wake up each morning and take a shower on this uberly nice bathroom. Perhaps, take a night warm bubble bath on the beautiful tub.

They say a secret to a good marriage is to have 2 sinks/washbasins in a bathroom. I perfectly agree! *LOL*

Eyeshadows

Now, let’s proceed to eye shadows.

Yes, it was my HubBEE who did the depotting for me since it requires heat to complete the entire process, etc. etc. a bit complex reason why he volunteered to do it instead. *beams* That's what you call supportive husband! *haha*

HubBEE in the process of depotting my eyeshadows

The paper on your left is where I've written the sequence of colors of my eyeshadows which served as a guide for HubBEE on how to place them in the palette. It has to be from light, medium to dark and top, middle to bottom. *teehee*

HubBEE done with the 2nd pan, Vanilla. 7 more to go...

Tadah!

I still have 4 more spaces to fill in. HubBEE couldn't understand why I never buy everything in one go to complete this palette. I simply want to get the right colors that suit me and more importantly, colors that I will really use. *wink* Not to mention the combination that I have to take into consideration, too. *haha* So impulsive buying is not a good way to complete your eyeshadow collection in my humble opinion. *smiles*

Blushes

Finally, I was able to get hold of the MAC blush empty palette and depotted 4 of my blushes to fit into it. *smiles* I have 5 blushes in total but the other one is mineralized so it won’t fit in to the palette. Need two more to complete my collection. I’m still thinking what shades to get since majority of them look the same. *sigh*

blush palette that can fit 6 blushes

2 more spaces to fill in

(L-R) coppertone, pink swoon, melba and blooming

I will stop on my 7th blush and that’s a promise! *hahaha*

Person behind the depotting will be revealed in my next post. *wink* Watch out for it ladies...*smiles*
