Julie: 20 years and counting :)

It is the 10^th of October, the day after my awesome birthday!

I want to briefly thank everyone who has sent warm, sweet and beautiful “Happy Birthday” wishes over e-mails, text messages, and instant messages, Facebook, Twitter etc. All those wishes meant a lot to me and absolutely made my day. I cannot thank you enough for being so kind and thoughtful. You truly have made my day so very special. My birthday only gets better by each year and I’m sincerely thankful that I have. A big thank you to everyone! It’s appreciated!!!

On this special day of mine, I had some personal reflections for the year. I reflect on all the friends and relationships I have made, formed and renewed for the past year. I remember the events, happenings and people that have influenced me to help me become who I am, I become totally inspired and fully committed to achieve more. I learn and relearn, and give thanks. :)

Birthday presents, birthday cake and whatever birthday things doesn’t seem to matter anymore (pero mas Masaya sana kung meron).At this age, birthday is not a big deal to me anymore. The thing makes me happy wasn’t the expensive gift I’ve got (yeah, that too =) but the thoughts that count. What appeals to me most is that when people whom I have walked with the past year takes time to make effort of greeting me a simple “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” out of their busy schedules. Besides, Papa God has never stopped giving me presents! (So everyday feeling ko birthday ko)… but I must say that this is year is my most blessed year ever! This year I graduated, had a job, celebrated our anniversary, found and kept new trusted friends and still got my family behind me J so ano pa bang mahihiling ko?? :) 

So that’s it for my birthday month .I had lots of fun! Let’s do it again next year!

Steph: On Friendship

And so, a Maldita can have a handful of best friends as well. I am missing one, right now, Gen is a blessing to me   in so many ways. She's funny, a critic, thoughtful, she made me forget how hurtful I am and how hard it is to deal with other people and sometimes a Maldita too. 

I met her in my previous company, we known each other for 4 year now. At first, she annoys me with her talking too much and her maldita comments. But later on we get along, we had meryenda together, go out after office, watched movies, she gets me into running actually. I feel pressured to run with her, I don't know why, I just wanna make her feel that I can do it too.She really pushes me to take courage in doing things that I thought I can't do.  

She left today bound to Dubai, her Tita made her leave the country and helped her to explore job opportunities in Dubai with her. I know deep in my heart I am happy for her, but I was hoping she stays here.

Gonna miss her terribly.

Reel Review: No Other Woman

Saw this movie with my girlfriends last night, and it was all fun! At first, I don't have plans to watch it, napanuod ko na kasi yung "A Love Story" (Maricel Soriano-Aga Muhlach-Angelica Panganiban) so, parang predictable na for me yung flow ng story ng No Other Woman. Then suddenly, naintriga ako sa mga tweets and posts ng barkada.. movie lines like, "Ang mundo ay parang Quiapo, maraming snatcher, maagawan ka! kaya lumaban ka! - Carmi Martin" Then, said to myself, I must watch the movie. 

And, voila! long line awaits us at Glorietta 4 Cinema, the 335pm schedule was close and full while it was only 210pm. No choice, but to wait for the next time screening , at 550pm. Got our seats sa pinaka gilid na.. 


One of my favorite scene is when Charmaine (Cristine Reyes) fought for her husband, pushing Cara (Anne Curtis) to the floor, pulling her hair. And Cara was left begging her to stop. 

MY VERDICT:

• The movie is worth it. Love the story. The comedic acts in between scenes are very entertaining.
• I applaud performances of all the cast, especially to, Anne Curtis, Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay. Sana marami pang sing-gagandang pelikula ang magawa ng Star Cinema. 
• A must watch!

BEAUTY: Etude House Nailwash and Lip/Eye Remover

Fresh Nailwash Safe (P78); Lip and Eye Remover (P198)

The Fresh Nailwash is a nail polish remover that leaves you nails moisturize and smelling good! The one I bought is in a blue bottle (fresh scent).

The Lip and Eye Remover is another bestseller that safely removes your makeup on the most sensitive areas of your face, the eyes and lips. To use, you must shake well the bottle mixing the liquid inside until it turns completely blue. Then, gently wipe unto your face/lips.

Line Nuance Duo (P254)

The Line Nuance Duo is an eyeliner and eyeshadow in one! You just twist the liner out and unscrew the shadow on the other end! There's only one shade available, it's frosted light-pink. Not sure if they'll come out with new shades.









MY RECOMMENDATION:

• Their Nailwash dispenser is a must-buy! 

BEAUTY: Etude House

ETUDE HOUSE is a total beauty solution shop that embodies the beauty and youth as described in a romantic fairy tale. (As you walk-in to their store, they'll greet you, "Hello my Princess!") They have a wide variety of cosmetics and skincare products that caters to all skin types.

Here's some of their bestsellers I bought:

FREE: Silk Scarf Conditioner and Pink Membership Card for a minimum purchase of P500!

MY RECOMMENDATION:

• Be a Pink Member and enjoy perks and rebates!
• You may check their complete product line here: Etude House Philippines

MY RATING:

• Definitely will visit their store again and make myself feel like a princess!
