Christmas 2011

My Christmas this year was a little different as it is my first Christmas ever in Texas. I definitely didn't have that same spirit as I used to when I Toronto...I miss the snow, my friends and my family (sister, neice, aunts and uncles) but despite of what I'm feeling Christmas should be about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and I'm very happy I have my little sister and parents with me here...there's lots of people in this world that are less fortunate and probably won't even be thinking of Christmas but just thinking of how to survive or theres others that are fortunate but don't have anyone to celebrate it with...soo I did make the best of it and it turned out to be fun :)

On Christmas Eve we went to church because there was a program/show where lots of kids and adults performed and showed their talents (singing, dancing, playing instruments, drama, etc.) After the program there were lots and lots of good food for all the guests. Christmad morning we opened our presents :) This year I got a ps3, nba basketball and victoria secret underwears. We went to church after and later on at night went to my dad's friend's house for a party, where there's lots of food and kareoke sung by people (mostly adults) lol.

Tomorrow is new year's eve...I do have a few party options but my plan is still not set in stone...we'll just see how I feel tomorrow :)

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and happy new year ya'll :D!!!

Thanksgiving Week

Woww...I'm really late for this blog, :S just been lazy I guess? I'm don't even have school or work yet, and I'm afraid I'm getting used to this "unproductive" lifestyle of waking up late everyday and having little to no purpose for the day :(...Well theres some days when I do have stuff to do and it had to be done, but other than that most of the time I'm free :D! I guess I'm just relaxing right now, FOR NOW...until my life gets all crazy again next year. Anyways for thanksgiving this year, my family and I journied off to Florida for the week (Nov.19-Nov.26) It was about 16 hours drive from Texas, and we passed by states such as Louisiana, Mississipi, and Alabama. The ride was pretty long, I don't really like long-drives (I would much rather take the plane -_-) and that was probably the longest travel I've ever done in my life by car, we didn't obviously drive 16 hours straight, it was a day and a half worth of travelling. At Florida we did the obvious such as go to Magic Kingdom, Universal studios, shopped at malls and outlet malls, went to beaches such as Clearwater beach in Tampa, and Daytona beach, and spent Thanksgiving dinner at our relatives house in Tampa. On the way back we stopped at USS Alabama to see some historic submarines, battleship, tanks, planes, etc. Here are some of the pictures I took:

Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath



I was under your spell for such a long time couldn't break the chains
You played with my heart tore me apart with all your lies and games
It took all the strength I had but I crawled up on my feet again
Now you're trying to lure me back but no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much that I thought someday that you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain

You can't touch me now there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back don't hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back don't hold your breath

I was worried about you but you never cared about me none
You took my money and I knew that you, you could kill someone
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff

Move on don't look back
I jumped off a train running off the tracks
Love is gone face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black

You can't touch me now there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back don't hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back don't hold your breath...

***I love this song, I think the lyrics are very powerful, it shows a strong independent woman, breaking out of a bad relationship and stands her ground :)

First NFL Game

I went to my first ever NFL game on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2010 and it was an amazing experience!! I had so much fun watching the game with my family, the atmosphere was just unreal, the crowd was phenominal! I've never seen that much people in a stadium and it was so loud. I couldn't believe I was there and I'm definitely going to come back to watch the Houston Texans and support them :D They won that game so they are off to a great season.




The Reliant Stadium


Amazing, it was another one of my dreams come true



My little sister and I

Saturday, October 29, 2011

I've basically been here for a week and a few days and I'm liking it so far..it's really different from Mississauga/Toronto but I'm slowly adjusting. Texas is a big state and theres so much things to do. I still have to know my way around the city that I live in, and downtown Houston, so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes me 2 years or more to really adjust. I just know I miss home...oh wait I am home lol I just miss my friends, my family, my old life basically but I hope I do well here and succeed in life :)

Big Transition Happening

When my parents first proposed the idea to me about 2 years ago, my first thoughts were no! hell no! no way in hell! nope! never! and I was so sure of it, at least I thought I was. It took my parents a lot of persuing and convincing and then eventually I acquiesced. I made a "grown up" decision that I would move with my parents and my little sister to the U.S. mainly because I can't live without my mom, I need her too much, she is my backbone, my mentor and without her I'd be lost in this world. My dad too, but lol! I'm a mommy's girl. Another reason was my little sister Jeselle, she is my sunshine, she makes my day every day and there's no way in hell she's going to grow up without a sibling, an older sister to guide her, help her, protect her, and care for her whenever she needs.

Well, I did weigh the pros and cons about the move and the pros were more superior. I really don't like having the idea of leaving my family, friends, leaving my house, my city, my country, my life for the past 12 years :S? I really thought I would be here forever, that my life would be set here, I would graduate University here, marry my husband here, have my career here, and have my sexy babies here lol! I just thought my life would be here..forever! But my parents told me life can take you places, sometimes places you've never thought of. You will always remember where your from. And for your friends, you will make new ones and you can still keep in touch with your old friends. They can visit you, you can visit them, and if you don't like living in the U.S. you can always go back to Canada. It's better to try it out because you never know if you'll like it or not.

Hhmm...maybe this transition won't be so bad after all. I just have to live and adapt to a different environment, and I already know myself that I will be just fine. I always knew I was meant to live a different life, a different lifestyle, like I was meant to live over there :S...I am only 22 years old and theres so many things infront of me. I will take this move as a blessing from God, it's like he gave me a third chance in life. I lived in the Philippines from the day I was born until I was 10, I lived in Canada from 10 years old to 22 years old, I will live in the States from 22 until whenever God wants me to stay there. I will always represent Mississauga, Toronto and Canada until the day I die...but Houston what is up!!! I'm ready for u baby :D!!!!

Today I went to church and the priest told a parable to everyone about King Alexander. I obviously can't remember it word for word, but it goes a little something like this. One Day, King Alexander found a poor beggar on the street desperately begging for money. Alexander gave the poor man gold coins, and the beggar felt blessed and estatic with joy. One of Alexander's servants asked him. "why did you give him gold coins when even copper coins would've met his needs? Alexander replied, "copper coins would've met his needs, but gold coins meets Alexander's giving"

:O! 3 words..that. is. sick.

Chris Brown F.A.M.E concert

On September 12, 2011 Chris Brown was in my city (Toronto) to launch the start of his tour F.A.M.E. I must say, this man knows how to work the crowd :) I went with one of my best girls, Jonelle, and we've been in a few concerts together before, and this one was definitely our fav. He sang really good and danced extremely well. I give it an 8.5/10. The show was opened up by Tyga, Kelly Rowland and T-Pain and they also got the crowd hyped up before CB came on.

Here are some pics of the event held at Molson Amphitheatre:

Sucks...

So I was at Victoria Secret yesterday to purchase new bras. I only have 2 Victoria Secret bras, because they were the only 2 bras in my size left during the time I purchased them. They're great and everything but I just wanted new ones. So I asked for bras on my size 32D and the sales associate gave me a worried face and she began to look for one. After looking for about 5 minutes, she told me they don't have my size! I was a little astonished because when I bought my bras for the first time there they only had 2 styles! (which were the ones I have) and now they have nothing at all! The sales girl told me to try the bra sizes close to my size 32D, which I did but they just don't fit me at all, not like 32D. She told me they hardly get this size because it's a rare size. I wondered why that is, and she said because 32 is the number size around your body (which is the smallest size, it goes from 32, 34, 36, and so on and D is a pretty big size for your cups and it goes from A, B, C, D and so on. So basically a skinny girl can't have big boobs! at Victoria Secret that is :S...so I went to La Senza because I know they have my size there for sure. It just sucks how I can't get my bras from Victoria Secrret :(...

Someone like you...

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl
And you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you....
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."

We arrived at the club around midnight and was directed to the best vip booth in the club :D. Basically throughout the whole night everyone was just drinking a lot, dancing, going crazy, getting knocked out, done, and a few were puking :S.

You Are Special

The other night I happen to serve this man, he was dining for one. In my mind, I was like okay..another loner that I have to talk to, because most of the time whenever I get people who dine by themselves, I feel like it's I don't wanna say "job" but that the word I could think of right now, but yeah..I always feel like I HAVE TO TALK TO THEM. In several occasions, they would be the one to initiate the conversations , and sometimes I get loners who don't want to be disturbed or talked to and I get it so I back off lol.

This man the other night was weird, like there was definitely something off about him. He just kept talking and talking and talking some more...he even asked me to take pictures of him by himself pretending he is on his phone! like WTF!? One of the things he told me that really touched me and I could remember it word for word was "You are special, you are unique, when you're gone in this world, there will never be another one like you! There might be people that looks like you, have similarities like you, but they will never be you. Everyone is unique is their own way and that makes you special, you may not be special to me, but YOU ARE SPECIAL." And then I got it, I really, truly am special, and so are you, God made us all special so don't ever let anyone tell you differently.

The Royal Wedding



Yesterday was the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and I actually didnt watch the whole thing, but I saw the highlights of the event. I watched the part with the Queen and the Duke coming into Westminster Abby, the vows of Prince William and Kate, the balcony scene of the Royal Family and of course the kiss. This Royal Wedding is such a big deal because one, it's the first Royal Wedding I was alive for, the last one with Princess Diana was in 1981 and I wasn't even born yet. For me, it really touched my heart in a lot of different ways and I was really drawn to it. I guess it's because it brings me back to my childhood, back when Prince William was only a boy, then to a teenager, and now he's actually getting married :(, where has the time gone? And when I watched the wedding it was like a fairytale that came true. I loved Disney movies growing up as a child especially Cinderella, and Kate just reminded me of Cinderella and William as the Prince. It's amazing to me how the British Monarchy is still going with tradition from many centuries ago with the Queens, Dukes, Prince, and Princesses. And I look forward to the children of Prince William and Kate and I know they will raise them well. Kate grew up in a small town with a middle class family, and when William was growing up Princess Diana raised him differently by taking him everywhere she went, which got him to be very social and a public person just like his mother. I know Princess Diana would approve of Kate and she is very happy for the both of them.

La Roche Posay Products

When it comes to taking care of my skin, I probably have gone through a lot of different products in past few years, and there were some that were just okay, some that made my skin even worse, but my very recent skin care discovery is the best one yet! and will probably be my long term skin care product to use daily. The products I use are from LA ROCHE POSAY, it originated from France and it's the #1 Dermatologist recommended brand. You can find this product from Shoppers Drugmart, it is a little pricier than the other drugstore products, but trust me it works really well for me, it's amazing and I love it.

In the past year, I started to get break outs from time to time, like little pimples from here and there. I was really starting to wonder why?!? I never usually get pimples, and it was definitely something I was dreading because I wasn't really used to all the breakouts. I kept switching cleansers and moisturizers for a few months until the Aesthetician from Shoppers recommended me to try La Roche Posay, she said all these nice things about it, I was a little desperate so I actually gave it a try, and after just a week or so I started to see some changes. I was completely impressed on how my skin has changed, I never got breakouts anymore, it cleared away the pimple scars, and it kept my face looking soft and radiant. I've been using this product for almost a year now and I definitely recommend it.


This is the cleanser I use, it's called La Roche Posay Effaclar, they have a lot of different types of cleansers but Effaclar is more for my skin type. It creates foamy bubbles and washes away all my makeup.


After I wash my face, I use the Efflar toner. Just add a small squeeze into a cotton ball, and after wiping it all over your face, you get a tingly feeling that I love, and you can see on the cotton ball the excess dirt left on your face.


When I'm finished putting the toner on my face, I put the Lancome Genefique serum all over my face (as mentioned on blogs prior). Then I add a small amount of the Effaclar H moisturizer to my face. It keeps my face soft and radiant, because it is a hydrating moisturizer with lots of Vitamin C, and Vitamin C is so good for your face.

That is it for my daily skin routine at night, and then I hit my bed :) It is honestly really amazing for me waking up knowing that I wont get any pimples on my face and my skin just looks healthier.

xoxo
You know you a BAD BITCH when the ex bitch & the next bitch ain't got shit on you! :)

How can you be so fashionable and stylish and yet be so athletic and sporty? hmm...I sometimes wonder that myself...

Lancome Products

The first product I truly, truly love is the Lancome Genifique Serum, because one of the things a Woman must have-especially at this day and age is a Serum. You can apply this serum during your regular skincare routine, I do it after I put toner on my face. This product creates a more youthful looking skin because it creates more youth protein. As years go by and you get older and older, the lesser your face creates youth protein and that's how your face age, but with this serum you can maintain your younger looking skin. At the same time, this formula deeply moisturizes skin for a new level of comfort and softness and fixes skin imperfections. Just one little drop and ur good. I've been using this for almost a month and I love it. And trust me I would never recommend products here on my blog if it wasnt any good. :)


Lacome Genefique Serum

The next product that I really love and would never switch for any other product is the Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation. I've never had a foundation that could to this to my face ever!! It is truly amazing, and trust me I've been switching to so many different foundation for years. This is Lancome's first foundation that recreates the true natural light of perfect skin. Its unique weightless texture provides perfect buildable coverage with a bare sensation. Instantly, complexion appears lit-from-within, visibly flawless. It really leaves my skin looking naturally looking, and I don't need to set it with powder foundation.


Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation

The last product which is another favourite of mine is the Lancome Le Crayon Poudre, I used to do a lot of things to my eye brows such as using eye shadow, black eyeliner, etc. and I end up looking weird. Your eye brows are very important because it shapes your face, whatever you do to your eye brows can have a big impact to your face whether its bad or good. Ever since I started using is product my eye brows appear fabulously full. This dual-ended brow pencil and brush shape, shade and groom for a perfectly polished look every time. The silky-soft, long-wearing formula of this all-in-one-essential is easy to apply and smoothes on blendable color that always looks natural.


Lancome Le Crayon Poudre

Note: I know Lancome products tend be expensive and arent affordable for many, but I always say it's best to use the best products out there for your face/body, because it'll help you in the long run.
