Been tempted to cut my hair short. But I never had the guts… :))) So I got me a wig and I use it for cosplay or photoshoot sometimes. :)))
Gotta Love Easter!
I’ve been practicing cooking and preparing meals whenever I can. My mother guides me through the process. She is known for one of the best cook in our family, both mother side and father side. So I have to at least be half as good as her. Hahaha! Pressured. I focused on cooking and preparing my crepes. As much as I love mangoes, I loved my caramelized apple crepe better! I made those balls of joy as well! munchkins all the way!
My family was happy eating what I prepared after I took pictures. LOL I’m getting the hang of food preparations from my mother and food photography from my father. :)) Yay, genes! :))))
A lot of truth here. A LOT… But anyone can change for the better. Be the successful one. You have a choice. :) I’m just so glad I have most of my aspects on being the successful one. Need to chop out the few ones I have in the opposite. Good vibes for everybody!
Wednesday yogurt facial! :D Exfoliate and hydrate ze fezz toodei. :))) hahaha! I love the smell of Purederm Strawberry Yogurt Pack. It smell so good it kinda makes me think it’s edible. LOL! And of course the gentle skin cleanser there is; Cetaphil it’s the best, really. I leave the yogurt for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it with Cetaphil. Feels great! :D Try it! :>
Sunday Beauty Social
March 23, 2013, Sunday. I was at SM Mall of Asia with my sister, Porshe and a couple of my good friends and we attended the first ever BDJ Box Beauty Social Event! We arrived at around 12:30 in the afternoon, so after grabbing something to eat; my sister and I headed straight to the registration booth and there were a lot of girls already! It was my sister’s first time to attend this event/seminar, so I can tell she was stoked to see so many goodies and new things to learn. We were both excited to try out the booths with freebies and get a free makeover from any makeup products REVLON, MaxFactor, Shiseido and Covergirl! Ahh! It’s a lucky day for every girl in the venue! You just have to choose which one and wait in line. Haha! There was a photo booth as well that we tried out before we went in line with the other girls for the makeover. :) If you know me well, you’ll know that I love taking pictorials. Hah! So …pwesto! *click!*
I also got an interview for Fashbook GMA when I was walking around and they gave me a freebie from their booth. The interviewer just asked about how I like the event and what are some beauty regimen and asking me to look at the camera and thank Fashbook for the freebie. I feel so fab that Sunday! LOL
Meanwhile, when I was busy getting an interview- My sister, Porshe wanted to try threading her upper lip for the first time. I wished i warned her it hurts really bad. LOL But oh well, it’s free! Upper lip threading courtesy of Browhaus. :)) Kaya mo yan baby sis! :)))
And then, we were first in line for free facial at Shiseido. Pina-try ko muna si Porsh pra maexperience ang libre. Haha!
At dahil mainit, we have to use an umbrella to protect our skin. Hassle but that’s okay. :)
We attanded talks as well about how to make your skin healthy and how to apply the right make up. I enjoyed watching Archie Tolentino (Makeup Artist of Maybeline) and also the sassy Bianca Valerio all up close and personal. :)
At dahil girl crush namen ng kapatid ko si Bianca, we get to take a picture with her. :)
After the talk we get another makeover from REVLON. Oh the best things in life are the ones for free! Hahahah! And of course what’s an event without a picture from my Bella friends after we got all dolled up and ready to enjoy the rest of the evening. :)
Oh, hooray for BDJ Box for this awesome event! Great Weekend once again! Hhihihi! Yay for freebies! :D

Taxi Seminar by International Krav Maga Federation Philipppines
Most of you already know that I’ve been training Krav Maga. I’ve been enjoying it a lot and i have noticed my agility and strength had improved compared to the first time I joined November of 2012. Last Sunday (March 17) I attended one of the team’s seminar. This one was open to anyone, actually, you just need to sign up and pay the fee. We were taught how to deal with a single attacker to multiple attackers inside a cab. During the drills, it was scaring me of just thinking that it could happen to me or to anyone I care about. They taught us how to deal if somebody chokes us, hold a khife on our necks and etc. And knowing the defenses against the move that the attacker(s) and any weapon they hold made me ask myself “Kaya ko bang lumaban na alam kong ang defense lang is harming the other person?”. Our coach told us it’s the only way.Plus, they’re bad people so… Yeah, if you don’t want bad things happening to you, don’t do bad things. :P
We started practicing the drills with team mates and individually breaking down steps as well.
And after practicing in an open space. We were directed to practice the moves inside the cab so we can feel the actual space and the situation. This was my favorite part of the simulation.
You really have to apply the drills. We were careful not to hurt our team mates as well, but the cramped space makes it extra hard, especially the moves involves hitting the fatal points of the human body. Here are some of my friends doing the right stuffs.
And then, here comes me, being too friendly with the driver… Damn, I hate this picture, everyone looks so bad ass except me. Hahahah!
So after getting under the sun and practicing intense drills. By 5pm everyone was awarded with our certificates. I got mine! So bad guys better watch out. And of course family pictureeee! :D
And after getting all tired, most of us stick together for awarding the practioners who earned their gold badge who have trained and passed the exam. I’ll get one soon (I hope) when time comes for our batch’s P1 Test. For the meantime, we ate dinner together at Marina and enjoyed a little booze.
Awesome weekends! Hooray IKMF Philippines! Enjoying this so much!
