what's in my huge bag?

..or better titled 'what makes my bag darn heavy?'

See the gigantic bag below? That's my current everyday slash pangharabas bag. Ain't it huge? And to make things worse, I am such a midget! Haha! :)) I usually receive unsolicited comments like "ang laki naman ng bag mo" or "para kang nagbabakasyon". You don't understand, people. I have a long list of can't-live-without stuff at kapag nawala sila, mamamatay ako {weh?}.

my ever reliable Penshoppe bag

To begin with, that mother bag contains baby bags. It has a bag organizer, kikay kit, dental kit, gadgets kit and wallet.

baby bags

Now the bag organizer keeps the stuff below.  These are crucial. I feel impaired without them. Let's get a rundown, shall we?

can't-live-without

  • tissue, in all forms possible - the dry ones, the wet ones, and fem wipes of course
  • sanitary pads - for emergency purposes
  • meds - biogesic, alaxan, kremil-s, dolfenal, and diatabs {girl scout much?}
  • band-aids - for unforgiving new pairs of shoes, for cuts, scratches and hangnails {you know  how blood and wounds drain my strength, sooo..}
  • perfume and handfoam - both in sweet pea scent. bangooo
  • deodorant - for unplanned overnights or activities
  • mirror - need I elaborate? 
  • aviators - because I wear shades anytime, anywhere. walang basagan ng trip
  • book - whatever I'm currently reading, which as of this writing, is How to Walk in High Heels by Camilla Morton.
  • planner - my BDJ planner which is not in the picture because I forgot to include it and I didn't want to arrange my stuff like that again. Pero hindi ako tamad huh, hindi talaga. :P
  • and lastly, my umbrella ella ella eh

Moving on, my gadgets kit holds pens, flashdrive, internet stick, credit card security device, charger, connector and earphones. Sometimes it holds my lappy cords too.

gadgets kit

Next, my really not interesting dental kit. Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss. Just the basics.

dental kit

And last but definitely not the least, my kikay kit. I can never leave the house without it, bilang hindi naman talaga ako masyadong maganda. Saktong ganda lang! Hahaha! Noticed it's Hello Kitty? I think I'm getting addicted again to that annoying pa-cute cat! :P

kikay kit

  • two way cake - fanny serrano in duchess 
  • powder blush - nichido true colors collection in sunkissed, which I rarely use kasi nga hindi ako tamad
  • eyeshadow - maybelline diamond glow in copper brown and elf in matte mauve
  • lipgloss - maybelline lipsmooth color bloom in pink blossom
  • lipsticks - ever bilena in off beat pink, maybelline color sensation in toffee cream and mocha pearl. mahilig sa brown si negra
  • concealer - fanny serrano in cashew
  • clear mascara - fashion 21, because I grew tired of the usual mascara and that's the only clear mascara I found
  • eyeliners - maybelline impact express smooth feltliner, so easy to apply, I am a fan
  • brushes - for the blush and eyeshadow, I do not even know how to properly address them. haha!
  • comb - everyone needs one, unless your bald
  • eyelash curler - for pretty eyes in an instant
  • tweezers - for stray kilays, tumutubo ata sila every minute. nako naman
  • nailcutter - incase I forgot to cut my nails at home

There you go. So basic yet so dami.  I hope my intended audience sees this. Ma, hope you get to read this. Hindi ako galing sa bakasyon, ok? :D

messed up no more

Look who's back! Haha! I've been a bad blogger. I feel so messed up since July started hence so uninspired to write. Work almost took the life of me, I had to work for 12 or more hours a day for about two weeks. By the end of the second week, I am literally sick. I wasted the weekends getting decent rest and sleep. And I wasted the Monday after that by taking a sick leave and getting more rest. Work got piled up and other responsibilities {cleaning my room, fixing my closet, etc.} were left undone. Now, who wouldn't feel messed up? #endrant

The good thing is.. I filed a week-long vacation leave several months ago and it started last Monday. Yep, Monday. But is only now that I got inspired to blog. I guess I no longer feel messed up. Dapat lang. I already spent five days cleaning and fixing things in my rooms {at home and in the apartment}. I also went mall hopping to accomplish my "to buy" list. From laptop accessories, to my own accessories, to the needs of my closet, to make-ups, to toiletries, to new DVDs.. I can go on and on.

mickey mouse laptop sleeve, cuteness :D

girly girly laptop decals

Aside from my "to buy" list, I also have this "to do" list that got longer because of how busy I was. That includes having some clothes and shoes repaired, getting my clothes from the laundry shop, bringing home excess stuff from the apartment.. and have I mentioned cleaning my room and fixing my closet? Wheew!

can't get enough of them

because I missed wearing make-up

Now I have few more days to.. uhmm.. blog? I still have to do a bucket list update, which by the way I wasn't able to complete before turning 25. Epic Fail. But I promise to complete them at least WHILE I'm 25. Hahaha!

Got to go! I wonder what's for breakfast. :D

maybe she's born with it

Maybe it's Maybelline.

I definitely got my new addiction and it's making my thin wallet thinner. I need rehab!

Tadaaa! My new addiction is Maybelline, anything Maybelline. This started two Saturdays ago when I bought my can't live withouts, powder, lipstick and mascara. I went back to the basics months ago so I only need those three. But then this Maybelline girl offered what they call the Empire Card. According to her, by buying those items I'll have that sort of loyalty card FOR FREE. Okay, so that is the only thing I need to hear to accept her offer.

I am definitely adding Maybelline to my Facebook 'likes'!!

But before that, I am giving you a glimpse of what I have got so far.
  • Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Powder Foundation, in Natural
Been using this since it came out. I love how it hides my imperfections especially in photos. How can you not love that?

---
  • Clear Smooth Minerals Instant Skin Perfecting Cream
It's the BB cream that gave me huge zits about a month ago so I stopped using it. I'll give it another try when my love-hate relationship with my hormones get better.

---
  • Diamond Glow by Eyestudio, in 01 Copper Brown
I just bought this last Wednesday and so far I am loving it. I'm learning how to put on my ES again.

---
  • Impact Express Smooth Felt Liner
I've never been a fan of liquid eyeliner. I have tried Nichido before and how it hurt my lids was unbelievable. Now this one is gentle and I am amazed on how easy it glides on my peepers. Good buy.

---
  • Unstoppable Curly Extension
I think I'm liking it better than Loreal's Telescopic Clean. Or maybe I'm being biased. ;)

---
  • Watershine Pure, in BC11
Not a very good color for my dark lips, gotta buy something better. I am drinking pearl shake when I bought this so I didn't feel like trying so many colors on. Lesson learned.

---
  • Lip Smooth Color and Care, in Cranberry Jam and Cherry
Color wise Cherry is better, smell wise I'd go for Cranberry. Because the Cherry smells like air freshener and the Cranberry doesn't color your lips at all.

here's what I've got so far
plus the VS silver kikay kit, courtesy of Grace

Note: I really do not have Blush on my list because as I have said I have this love-hate relationship with my hormones and its kinda attacking my right cheek right now. I am trying my very best to defend it. I hope I win the battle.

So there. I have confessed my addiction. For as long as it doesn't seriously hurt my finances, I have no plans of overcoming it. Got to post FOTDs soon. =)
