La vie est belle

August

2:53 PM

August as you can imagine has been a busy month. Busy work weeks and lazy weekends. I haven't had time to post anything as i'd rather sleep in than do ANYTHING at all. Clothes unsorted. Shoes all over the place. My room has been in a disarray for more than a month! It still is actually. Honestly, i would rather sleep during the weekends. Wrong i know but lately i've been feeling quite drained. More than usual. Might be vitamin deficiency but i'm too lazy to go to the doctor. Haha!

Anyway, August has been busy due to PXC Laban MMA - Lipa City. The first developmental league executed by PXC. Great fights that night! It was tiring but enjoyable.

I don't think i went out a lot last August too. Based on my photos and non-existent posts on IG and twitter. Haha! Either i didn't post lang or i was just too busy to do so. That can actually happen. Specially when my mobile data is intermittent.

Here's hoping i will be able to post more in the future.

Do you like you?

I'm loving the song Colbie Caillat came out with - Try. It's been a while since i heard a song like this. That stuck anyway. I think the last one that had quite an impact with the same message was Christina Aguilera's Beautiful. To me at least.

First time i heard this song was on the radio. I think it was on 99.5. I found myself nodding in agreement to every word. Specially the line, "You don't have to bend until you break." It's amazing how 8 simple words can come together and give you the confidence boost that ever so often one needs. 8 words that i'll definitely carry with me wherever i go.

Listen and be empowered. We all need a little nudge to realize that we don't have to try too hard.

If you must, try not for anyone else... but for you. Chances are, the people you're trying to impress... they don't see you at all. And at the end of the day, the only eyes that matter are yours.

Keep smiling beautiful!

Hugs & besos....

"Two Chips": Deliciously Funny

This made my day. Found this on the internet recently. Old news I know but i'd like to share it anyways.. Very funny. Is it weird that I find this sweet? Well in any case I do. Knock yourselves out!

Kisses: Revlon "Just Bitten Kissable"

7:12 PM

My mom loves sending me random stuff. Clothes, bags, food and makeup. Recently she sent me a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (040 Rendezvous). Initially I thought it's a regular tinted lip balm similar to The Body Shop's Born lippy lip balm which is also tinted (ever so lightly). But later on I found out that it's more of a "lip stain" than a lip balm.

I wasn't excited with the color since the packaging was.. Well orange. However once applied, it was more of a peach shade. Just be careful not to apply too much otherwise you'll get orange lips. It had a minty feel once applied. Very soothing. Mind you I put the balm stain on without a lip balm thinking it will be well moisturized just the same. I was wrong. I was dead wrong. After about 5 hours (give or take), my lips were chapped. Since I like the color, I opted to continue using it still but applied lip balm beforehand. I suggest you do too.

Overall, it's a good product. It just wish you can apply it directly without a need for a separate lip balm. Other than that I'm good. Check out the other shades too!

I'd love to try and see if the "Honey" shade looks good on me.

Hugs & besos!

Six in the City

3:33 PM

Last May 22, Beer Below Zero celebrated their 6th anniversary aptly themed, Six in the City. It was held in Jill's, The Fort Strip. It was not long ago that 3 "beermen" thought up the idea (on a drinking session nonetheless) of how beers should be taken - ice-cold. After all, we are in a tropical country. It's only right to cool down with really cold beer. And i do mean COLD.

The night was oozing with...

good music (i'll elaborate more on this in another post)
