the queen is back!!!

i forgot to mention this..last wednesday, peejay and i went to megamall to buy stuff. we passed by dun sa area na nirerenovate, and i saw this giant ad... dairy queen is soon to be put up.. haha!! yeah, baby!!! i just don't know kung kelan yung opening. pero, it doesn't matter. at least it's closer now. the only dairy queen i know is in tabang. hehe.. bee and nizeth and veron said that there is a branch in trinoma. haven't seen it yet, but, what the hell, i don't have to go there! just have to wait a few months until the branch in megamall is reopened..

winter's salon..

so, it's a saturday today and we don't have anything else to do but, of course to make ourselves prettier..hehe..makeup sessions nanaman!! walang curling sessions today kase i didn't bring my curling iron to work e (sayang!). this is the first time i've tried using the makeup i bought, and so far, ok naman yung nangyare. ang gaganda pa rin namen lahat (wala namang bago dun e. hehe..)

uncle kracker

ha! i was able to incorporate a background music! finally! harhar! thanks manet!

ouch! dammit!

among other things, the stupidest, if not outright shittiest, thing happened to me last night. i was out doing some grocery shopping with peejay. he was somewhere else and i was skimming the shelves for stuff to add to my cart. i bought an 800g can of pedigree dog food for my chubi and added it to my cart. you know the new carts that sm supermarket have? diba there is a portion on the carts where a child could sit while mommy was doing some shopping? i placed the can of dog food on that "basket" and continued shopping. a few minutes later, peejay sent me a message and asked me to add some colas. so i went to the soda shelf and i picked up a 2-liter cola. i was trying to arrange the stuff i've had on my cart in such a way that the soda bottles won't get crazy and roll on it's side. i didn't realize that the bottle hit the "basket". and that "basket" had two holes in it where the child's feet should go, right? so, the 800g can of pure, wet, heavy dog food fell off the cart. it landed square on my left foot. what's bad is the can's part that landed on my foot was either the top or the bottom part (i didn't care which one it is), so double the pain. it scraped some skin off my foot (eeooww!!), but it wasn't deep enough to bring blood. hell, i'm gonna cry my lungs out if i saw blood! so, i had to do the rest of my shopping limping away! the can hit the joint between the foot itself and the ankles and until now it's painful and swollen.
so,

pistachios..yummy!!

phoebe brought pistachios today!! yum-o! i really like them. aside from pistachios, i also like eating walnuts, but i don't get to eat a lot of walnuts kase the only time my mom buys walnuts is when she cooks this pasta recipe that requires walnuts. i also like almonds. my mom would send us a bag of almonds and instead of looking up recipes with almonds, my kuya would give half of the bag to my tita who bakes goodies and the other half would be consumed by us. hehe..

l'oreal hot curl curling spray..

yesterday i tried using the curling spray i bought. sinubukan ko kung gano katagal maglalast yung curls. i finished curling my hair 11:30am. i had to take a bath around 5 or 5:30pm because pj had to pick me up pa. so, the curls lasted until i took a bath pero it's not as kulot as before when i finished curling my hair. the curls were not as tight as it initially had been, pero in fairness i love what it did to my hair. although sticky yung feel ng spray, ok lang. at leat my curls stayed.
one downside though, i had to make lots of thin sections of hair to apply the spray. i haven't tried pa yung very ends lang yung curled. maybe i'll try it this week. pero all in all, i like the spray. it doesn't smell as bad as the other hair sprays. feeling ko pa ngaparang citrusy yung smell nya.
i'm gonna try it out siguro later if i have enough time.

shopping time..

kanina, wiz and i went to sm north edsa to buy make up and accessories and pang landi for ghe's wedding in december. grabe it's been so long since i last went to sm north edsa. sobrang di ko na nakilala. sobrang laki ng difference kaysa dun sa dating north edsa na alam ko. siguro it's been like, 5 or 6 years na yata akong di nakakapunta dun.
oh, wait. i remember na. the last time i've been there was when my dad got confined sa veterans memorial hospital nung na stroke sha for the second time. tolerable sha if lalakarin mo from veterans to sm. pero if magcocommute from there, siguro, mga three minutes max andun ka na sa sm. i remember dun kame sa sm kumakain ng tita ko, or with my mom, pag nagbabantay kame sa hospital. it has been that long.
anyhoes, i went there kanina with my younger brother wiz. we met kuya there sa mcdo. we waited siguro for about 10-15 minutes before he arrived. he went there with christian and his family but they went their separate ways and kuya met us in mcdo.because he was late, and because pinupuno nya yung stickers for his starbucks planner, he treated us to starbucks. all three of us had dark cherry mocha. it was yummy. it tasted kinda bitter but it was because of the dark chocolate chips. it had no coffee in it kaya i like it.
after finishing our drinks, we went to the department store to buy makeup. buti na lang i asked manet kung aling makeup yung maganda. the brand i use kase is cover girl, and most of it came from canada. this is the first time i'm gonna buy a local brand. well, except my lip balms and lip glosses. i bought maybelline eyeshadow, blush, concealer, foundation, lipstick and lipgloss. i got a free makeup bag from them. buti na lang i bought all my makeup from them. i spent just Php1,762.53 for everything. swerte ko kase i was able to get a 25% discount on all the items i bought.afterwards we went to the upper floor to buy accessories, and after paying for it we went downstairs again to buy hairspray and other stuff for my hair.
the hairspray i bought is a l'oreal hot curl spray. primary reason: it is designed to work with curling irons and it makes the hair shinier. the lady said it will hold the curls but it will not look stiff. sabi nya it will make the curled hair bouncy. it was Php475, but it had a 10% discount. kinda pricey but i hope it was worth it.






nakakatuwa i got a lot of freebies. especially from l'oreal.

i also bought 3 makeup brushes. one big brush and lip brush from mistine and an eyelid brush. aside from fanny serrano's brushes, it was the only big brush we found that was washable and very soft to the skin. i got a 50% discount on the big brush and another 50% discount on the lip brush. the eye lid brush was around Php60.after everything we bought for me, it was time to go to ideal vision for my brother's prescription glasses. 50% discount yung glasses tapos he had a coupon for Php500. the total price he paid for a new pair of glasses was Php1,795.
goofing around while waiting for our food @ shakey's..

we ordered deal #1 (or something..i can't remember yung exact name ng package) @ shakey's. it had your choice of chix and mojos or pasta platter, 1 large thin crust manager's choice pizza, and a pitcher of their own brewed iced tea. we added another large thin crust garlic and cheese pizza and christian bought a plate of mojos. we chose to get the 3 pc chix and mojos rather than the platter of pizza, but since there are four of us, we bought a plate of their chicken and pasta meal.
