Nail of the Day: Chic Ash

Chic Php 31

I love nail polishes that has a tone of gray.

This is from Chic in shade ASH. It kinda looks like light brown but it's darker in real life. I was browsing at Puregold Banaba one time and I saw this shade. Intially, I wanted to try OPI's You don't know Jacques but I find it too expensive. I tend to wear different nail polishes so I don't like to invest in luxurious nail brands.This shade is not really a dupe for You don't Know Jacques but I can somehow see the similarities of them being greyish and brownish. I'm just happy I was able to get this last shade on the rack. ^__^ 

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

paano mo tatangapin na walang feelings sayo yung tao na sobrang gusto mo

Umm... magiging malungkot ako. Siguro susubukan ko na lang ibaling atensyon ko sa ibang bagay. Puede ko pa rin naman siyang magustuhan kahit wala siyang feelings sakin. Ako marami akong artistang sobrang gusto kahit alam kong malayong magkagusto sakin yung mga yon. I super like Gaspard and Zac. ^__^ Isama ko na rin si Ed Westwick. <3

Ask me anything that is photography/editing related and/or beauty blog related.

I read your blog and saw that you cut your rebonded hair off. How short do you cut your hair in order to get rid of the rebonded hair? I also intend to cut my rebonded hair off and go naturally curly. Thanks. Hope you reply. :)

I'm not really sure. I think at that time I haven't "rebonded" my hair for more than a year. But it really depends on the type of hair cut. My hairstylist cut my hair in layers so that my curls won't appear too thick and somehow it would bring back that natural wave of my hair. If I had my hair cut straight, the curls would be so much different. I would suggest that you cut your hair at least shoulder length. If you have frizzy, thick and curly hair like mine, it will also help to cut them in layers. I'll post before and after pictures. :)

This was how long it was before I cut the rebonded hair. It looked straight here because I used my iron. 

It was so difficult for me to style my hair. It takes more than three hours for me to straighten it. I found it quite expensive to maintain a rebonded hair. Aside from having a retouch every 6 months to 1 year, I'm advised to have a hair treatment every month. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget to have a well maintained rebonded hair. 

Finally, I was able to break the cycle. I didn't want to stay in the salon for 9 hours just to rebond my hair. I wanted to be comfortable with my own hair. :)

I simply iron my bangs for the final touch. :)

I hope this helps for those who wants to love the natural waves of their hair. Give your hair a chance to be HAIRself. Who knows... you might like it in the end.

Where do you buy your skinny slacks?

I buy them at SM department stores (Cubao, Marikina or Fairview). I buy most of my clothes there because SM have good bargains. (sale sale sale up to 70%)

Turned 2NE1

I'm 21 and still kickin'! ^__^

Sorry guys if this is like my first post for October. There are times I planned to post something but it took time for me to organize my thoughts. I've been thinking A LOT of things lately. Stress. :P

Anyway, it's my birthday and I'm one year older. Time flies so fast. Three years ago I'm just celebrating my debut and now... I'm already frigging 2ne1. I mean... I can't pretend to be a teenager anymore- eighTEEN... nineTEEN, twenTEEN.... and now.. it's really twenty-one. I won't be able to put any "teen" to it. :P I'm now a young adult which means I have more responsibilities.

Dance with my Father... on my 18th Birthday

This year I'm very grateful to God for giving a lot of blessings. I graduated in a good university with the course I really like. And I was able to get a great job as a US stock broker right after school. It's quite difficult to get a job these days. I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't have to extend a bum life being unemployed which is a good thing for a career. There's always progress although one must sacrifice time and social life. I'm not a student anymore. I can't just be absent like cutting classes. I really need to work my ass off if you know what I mean. :P 

I really wanna thank my parents and my friends who supports me all the way. I'm 21 and I'm ready to take over the world. LMAO. ^__^

And because it's my birthday... I made a video of myself lip singing... again. HAHAHA.

These are the items I bought.

Parisian Flats. Php 399

It's quite a trend having a matte dark blue nails. And it can make your complexion lighter too.

Here in the Philippines, temperature is unbelievable. I don't wanna go out 10 am- 3 pm cause it's really hot outside. Even bringing a handy dandy umbrella won't work. I won't survive the heat.
