Playoffs 2012 Clippers vs Grizzlies

Personal Post :D Yay!!! Last May 07, we went to Staples Center to watch Clippers vs Grizzlies. Now, I'm not much of a basketball fan but the hubby is so being the sport that I am, I went ahead and bought a jersey of my own. Haha! I like Clippers more than Grizzlies. I love Blake Griffin <3 Haha!

They were giving away Extra Large T-shirts upon entrance. Nearly swallowed me! Hahaa!

We got great seats! Was so close I could hug Griffin. Lol joke! But it was pretty good seats :D

Friends also came with us. The more the merrier!

Didn't know watching a game can be so nerve racking! OMG I was so nervous! But was glad Clippers won in the end. Hooray! :D

Then we camwhored outside the Staples Center. By the way it was my first time. Haha! I enjoyed it too much! Definitely not my last time here :)

Pose Pose Pose.. hahaha! :D

I miss doing personal posts. Hope you guys don't mind :) My month of May is much better than my other months this year. I have been feeling under the weather since February. I'm just glad I was able to have fun this month. Hoping that the upcoming week is a lot more fun.

Skin Update and Latest Haul

Hi guys!! It's.. *looks at the clock* 2:33AM now.. I know, I know its late. I actually slept pretty much all day today because I was off, and its raining.. and well, it feels good to finally catch some snooze. How are you guys? Hope everyone is doing well..

Me? Well.. errrr.. I'm coping.. Of course we all face some issues from time to time but March was pretty *excuse my language* shitty month for me. :( Actually Feb-March was really bad!!! In all aspects (except maybe my job which I'm thankful for) of my life. One of them is my skin issues. Ok, so some of you guys know that I bought a Clarisonic Mia well long time ago but haven't gotten around to using it until Feb of this year. Pretty much ruined my entire face :( They said "purging" is normal. Whoever says "purging" is normal is out of their minds!! Who would want an acne face and then it would heal and will leave you with all the acne scars and pock marks?! Well, I don't want that so as soon as my skin started "purging" I stopped using Clarisonic but my skin was never the same again. First I had these "fleshy bumps" on my forehead then I started having very small zits (like a lot of them) on my entire chin. I feel so shitty that I started using --- to name a few --- Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and my latest -- Retin A (which gave me a super dry skin). My skin is healing but its taking so long. Too long. I hate this. I don't know what to do because I have tried almost everything (except facial and laser). I went to a dermatologist and well she prescribed me the Retin-A and some cleanser, toner, etc that they sell on their clinic. It wasn't worth it because it was too expensive and it stings to death!!!



Are you ready for pictures? You sure? "X" it if its too gross. Haha! But Ok, Here.. It's embarrassing but I know some of you guys understand what I'm going through...

Here is with make up already (just some tinted moisturizer).

You can see the bumps in the middle of my eyebrows and of course my chin.

Here is without make up. Looks so ugly. *screams* I would always be shocked looking @ the mirror. Haha.. *finding humor in this kind of situation kinda hard* SIGH

Here is with a good BB Cream and concealer (no photoshop). Covers all the imperfection. Hehe. Well actually the pictures below were taken 2 weeks after the pictures from above. I will reveal my skincare routine soon (the one that's helping my skin heal - it's still ongoing. Unfortunately, it takes time).

Oh ya, did I mention I got my braces off? Wearing these ugly retainers. My first impression? WOW I HAVE HUGE TEETH!! SLIMY TOO!!

It's like this photo "What the heck, my lips feels weird without braces"

Ok, I guess we move on to the more interesting stuff - HAUL! Haha!

This Hello Kitty make up bag is gorgeous,  but I'm not proud of this purchase. I say it's a nice traincase to have but for the price? MEH! It's $100 for those who are curious. It's definitely an impulse buy. You know you get that when you are feeling down then you see something "ahhh I want to have that!" then you just grab it and when the SA ring it and tells you it's $100 + tax, you just close your eyes, take your card out and swipe? LOL. Then after you get out of the store, you keep chanting "it's nice.. and well I deserve it" Haha. Well, I'm telling you right now, It's so expensive!!!! I nearly died. lol!

To top it all, I haven't use it, just sitting on top of my table. I pass by it and I tell the bag "you so expensive..oh my" lol!

This one -- I really need. Yes it's a necessity. I needed a watch that has seconds for work and I thought, "why not a hello kitty watch?" It's $45. (minus 10% off - it was on sale! YAY!)

This one is $75 but I didn't pay for it --  my co workers did! Hahah! They gave me a gift card to Sanrio for my birthday and I wasn't able to use it because I don't know what to get but when I saw this bag, I thought, "hmmmm... might as well use the gift card!" So thanks co workers :D My first purple bag. Hehe!

And recently, been eating to Korean BBQ places. This one is at SHIK DO RAK in OC. Yummy! Course, I gotta throw foodie pics :P

Hmmmm.. that is all for now!! Will update very soon! *looks at the clock* It's 3:10am. *yawns* Umaga na makatulog na nga!! (for those who speaks Tagalog).

Birthday Gifts from Friends

Late post! haha! Super late actually but I want to share with you guys my birthday presents from my lovely friends!

Let's start with this card from Khatsii. She is the sweetest, always keeping in touch. She sent me this card for Christmas actually and it has a lipgloss inside. So sweet!!

She sent me this for my birthday as well. Thank You Khatsii! She has an amazing blog :D Go check it out :) http://www.khatsii.com/

The lock to my Hello Kitty heart. Hahah!

This one is from Winwin. She is so sweet to send me these lovely stuff. Thank You sweets :)

This is from my friend May. She is super nice!! She's like a sister to me. I haven't been keeping in touch with lots of people lately but she is always there. She's always asking if I'm okay and it feels so good knowing that I have a friend like her :)

Honestly, I haven't use this. But its so pretty!!! I love it!! I haven't use it because I haven't been really doing any make up lately.

This one is from my friend Rina. She's always so generous! She's the one who got me addicted to masks. :) I miss her so dearly! She's also the one who gave me a Rilakkuma bear. My one and only Rillakuma :)

This one is from my co-worker Henry. Such a cute eyeshadow palette. Again, I haven't used it. Haha. I need to pack some of the unused stuff so it will  be ready once we found a house to buy :)

This one is from my brother. Yay for Monopoly :D I haven't played it. Super cute Hello Kitty plush doll :D Yay for more HK plush dolls :)

This one is from my co-worker Celia. Haven't use it too. LOL! Yay for hello kitty blow drier. :)

Thank You so much to everyone who sent me gifts. Who gave me these lovely presents :) I love everything :D

Skincare Haul and More

Hello Everyone!! *waves* Just want to share to you guys what I have  been buying lately. Not much really.  When I buy stuff, sometimes I forget to take pictures of them especially when I do want to use it right away. :)

I went to the Skinfood Place in Cerritos. I really like  that mall. So much good stores they got there. Well anyway, I was just going to get me some lip balm for my chapped lips but I couldn't help but get some other things too!

I got the Parsley and Mandarin Essence for Troubled Skin. Like I said in my other post, I've been breaking out lately on my chin. It's so bad that I feel like hiding in a cave. :( So I've been trying to go back on my steps to see what I have done wrong and what skincare was new to my daily stuff so I can get rid of it. Well, it was the overuse of Clarisonic. Once I cut back on that, other acne starts to disappear but I still have lots on my chin, it's pretty horrible. This product is helping me manage them a bit but it's not a miracle worker *sigh*

*click to enlarge*

I also got the Coffee Scrub which is my favorite purchase from that place. It smells yummy and it just  leaves my body so soft and smooth. The lotion glides in so smoothly whenever I use this. *fave* I will repurchase for sure or maybe try their rice scrub :)

The last one is the rose lip balm which smells good and it has a nice tint on my lips. I apply it before I sleep so I can wake up to soft lips :) I wanted to buy the pot but that will  be next after I finish this balm.

This one is a gift from my husband. Well, I've been trying to work out at LA fitness with a fellow blogger Angelique. It's always best to work out with someone because you get motivated. We do cycling, yoga and zumba. Next one I'll be trying is the kickboxing and hopefully I'll survive because she told me it's hard work. 

I did not gym this week though because I have been feeling under the weather and been feeling sick, sad, all  the not so nice stuff and no I am not pregnant. lol. It's just one of those days I guess :(

Anyway, that's it for now. I will update again soon :)

Hello

Hi everyone. How's your year 2012 so far? I feel like its been so long since I wrote in here and its not true because I had a blog post only last month. LOL. I know, I fell off blogger and has not been consistent on updating my blog. I don't even know the latest MAC Collection anymore. Sometimes I don't even know what to blog.. Some company has been emailing me to do  blog reviews. Products seems interesting but I didn't respond until today when I finally decide, why not go to blogging again? I still take pictures of the stuff I bought (hauled) and I still love make up as much as before (even though I rarely buy make up now) and yes I still keep in touch with a lot of my blogger friends. They have been awesome, and sometimes I even get to hang out with them (though we rarely talk about make up. hahah!) My skin is also not in its best condition, another reason why I don't want to blog yet, but its getting better.. It's just overuse of the clarisonic mia i guess. Hahah! Anyways, just a quick hello!
