aksdfjiedjfjlaewihfdaiuew COCKROACHES ARE THE WORST!!!! @.@ They are so creepy and sneak and scary!!!! They disappear and appear whenever they want and they will scare the soul out of you when they start flying @.@ OMO~~
Cockroaches brought me to think of better ways of storing my makeup~ Exposed makeup brushes… the cockroach might be crawling on them while you are a sleep~ (Sorry to scare you reader, but it might be true!~)

SO TADAAAA!!! Cockroach proof and it’s more organized this way!!! :D :D A tool box for keeping makeup and it’s handy if you want to lug around your makeup for travel and such~

I bought this at ACE Hardware :D :)) It’s the cheapest tool box I’ve ever seen~ I think I bought this fro 134 pesos?!~ When finding a tool box for storing makeup the first thing to check is if it has 2 layers or compartments…

…from the ocean. shining in the sun, covering up the shore~ PEARLY SHELLS!!! kekeke~ I got loads full of pearls from my daddy who visited Palawan a few days ago :D I wanna go to Palawan too, someday and visit the underground river!!!

Pearl bangle! SO PRETTY @.@ and it’s a bit heavy kekeke~ wrist muscles (>,<)~///

I chose pink peach pearls mostly because I’m just so girly :)) and I already have white ones~~

Then this pretty bracelet has pearls dangling at the middle~ :>

I love PEARLS <3 if I could only wear them ALL everyday~! (hahaha Donya vibe)

The most interesting piece that daddy bought~~~….. :D :D

Annyeong haseyo!!! Wazzup wazzup!!! Tonight I’ll be doing a comparative review, not about makeup XD, but about android phones :D I’m no techie, I’m actually WAY WAY WAY FAR BEYOND OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SEAS FROM BEING A GADGET WIZARD :))) but I am a consumer and I’ll be voicing out my opinions about these android babies :D

My daddy bought me this HTC Explorer because someone stole my Samsung Galaxy Pocket… And this was an ‘impulsive’ buy, bought this the same day my phone got stolen. I was persuaded into buying this htc phone cause my brotha always brags about his and the Sales lady at HTC said so many nice things about it~ like: “You could play Temple Run 2 here!”
Here’s a photo^ of the provided specs written at the back of the box :D

Now here’s the provided specs written at the side of the box~ Well Samsung made it really short which is not attractive to techie people :)) I imagine it being a description for a beauty product. The more descriptions provided, the happier I am! Maybe they wanted it short and direct!

TADAAA!~ The htc Explorer looks really really smart, business like and so sleek!~ It also looks soooo expensive!!! Omo~ sexy sleek polish!!!

And here’s a brand new Samsung Galaxy Young La Fleur, looking so girly and pretty~

The flower details really is so feminine!~ The faded periwinkle against white :> so PURDY!!!

Of course the sleek~ness of the htc explorer doesn’t just stop!~ THe back design is ever so polish with metal engraving to complete the look!

I’ve had this for almost 6 weeks and because of it’s unique rubber like material for the backing I don’t need to buy any protective cases!~

GIRLY MUCH?~ :D I hope the design will not fade over time!~ XD The plastic material of the backing of this Samsung Galaxy Young La Fleur feels weak, so every time I had to open it up I place extra care~

The HTC Explorer is thicker and shorter than the thinner and longer Samsung Galaxy La Fleur~

What I like about HTC is that its Icons look so professional and just.. SLEEK & POLISHED! I think I’l keep on repeating those words when describing htc cause it is what it is~

Annyeong haseyo!!! How did your day go? Well mine went really well :D :> My family and I went to Eastwood :> Went to mass and ate!!!!

My plate :))) We ate at Pho Hoa and it was so funny when the waiter handed my order :)))) I thought that it was an appetizer :))) THE SERVING IS SO SMALL @.@ The plate looks like a cover for a bigger bowl XD But the food is delicious~ Good thing I did not order the noodles cause it had WANSOY -_-

I also wore my new kitten heels to break them in~ kekeke but it seems like it was the one who broke me XD And it’s so weird that only my right foot got a bubu @.@ My left foot feels so fine even though I wore heels, but my right foot got blisters :)))))

Just last night~ I received an unexpected package~ It was unexpected because the delivery happened during night time, which is very weird :)))) Usually packages come during morning ~,~
I remembered that I ordered something online~ :D And to my delight… :D

The packaged contained the hair extensions I ordered :> Hihiiii!!! <3 It’s my first time to own and buy hair extensions :))))
*PS The hair looks just divine when taken out from the package~ but after a few uses :))) (My FAMILY tested it out~ including my brother XD)

The color I chose was Dark Brown :D It looks like this with flash photography and I think the color is just so lovely (^-^)~

Today was a really fun and tiring day! I had a mock interview a while ago and am actually glad to have experienced being interviewed :D Plus I got the chance to test run my make up! kekeke~ First impressions matter!

Especially my eye make :D :> hihi So glad that it stayed put!!! OH YEAH <33333 I’ll be practicing more on doing this slightly smokey slightly natural eye make for everydayyyy!
But since I am not used to being all formal and dressed up in a ‘serious’ way haha I needed a blazer and ‘serious’ high heels of my own :>

Perfect chance to go shopping! :D Went to Mega to complete my ‘serious I-mean-business’ look :>

Needed a black blazer since I always borrow from mah sistah! :)) And my interviewer also noticed that the blazer was a bit too big on me~

I really like the design of this! :D The little details count! :> And the name of the brand is pretty interesting~ FOLIO like portfolio~ tralalalalala
