Random Things about Me (Love & Relationships)

Good Day! ♥ Today, I'm picking twenty random questions that I heartily answered for all of you guys. This is a get to know me better question and answer portion. This will be a quick post just to let you know the deeper side of me. lol! :) You ready to know me better? I just want to get closer to my readers. You can also grab the questions and answered it on your blog as well, this is fun. I was answering this during my break time yesterday and I really had fun and some of the questions made me  even laugh so hard. :) so here are the random things about my drama in life^_^

(image from google)

1. Are looks important in a relationship?  It depends really. I will be hypocrite if I'll say No because we all know that physical appearance attracts first, on the other hand sometimes we can't choose whom to love too and be committed with, In an instant it's just like that! boom! You're inlove! hahaha.. 

2. Are relationships ever worth it? Every relationship is worth fighting for, but when you already know that you've done too much it's best to let go.

3. Do you believe in love at first sight? YES, even second sight or third sight :) lol, kidding aside. Definitely Yes!

4. Describe your perfect mate : Someone who will sing, dance, drink, smile, laugh and cry with me. Someone who will hold my hand and never let go -_-

5. Have you ever cried over a guy/girl? Yes! happens all the time again :(

6. Can you commit to one person? Of course! I'm the type of girl who usually get contented with someone. When I'm in a relationship I always commit myself to him, I'm faithful and I'm proud of it. 

7. Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months and not cheat? As what I've said, earlier I'm a faithful one, 6,7,8 months and more I can stay faithful.

8. Do you ever want to get married? hmm.. It's always been a dream. (almost got married but sh*ts happened)

9. Do you forgive betrayal? Being able to experienced pain from betrayal I guess I don't :(

10. Do you get jealous easily? Not really, I observe and analyze things first before I react. Okay, sometimes I do :)

11. How long was your longest relationship? 2 years (the one I almost marry)

12. How many boyfriends have you had? I can't keep track of them really but let's just say 6, those were the one who made me become what I am right now. A stronger & braver version of me.

13. If your first true love knocked on your door with apology and presents, would you accept? first true love? why not? Time already heal all the wounds and I believe that love is sweeter the second time around.

14. Is there anyone you've given up on? Why? There will always be one point in your life that you're going to experience burden and pain too much. Yes, I have and that is because it already involved my family. I can take the pain but seeing my parents getting hurt the most made me give up and let go.

15. Is there someone you will never forget? Yes.. every relationships has it's own story and I guess I will forever treasure those memories I have with my ex's.

16. What is the first thing you notice in someone? The smile! I died when I see someone who has a dashing smile. It always melt me down. (insert kilig face) :)

17. What are five ways to win your heart? hmm.. Well (1) I love guys who knows how to build a meaningful conversation (2) I totally dig guys with sense of humor (3) Sweet and Romantic guys will sweep me off my feet (4) A guy who's responsible and matured (5) Lastly, someone who respects my decision ^_^

18. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? I love surprises, even little things like a stick on love note on my table will made me giggle . haay.. A surprise date on the shore will really made me cry :) and that's tears of joy♥

19. What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for someone? I did a lot of sweet things, as I've said I love surprises. Making a scrap book, creating a poem, cooked for him, but I have one thing I did for someone. I rode a bus, traveled for 8 hours just to see him and to be with him for an hour or two. :) I told you, I'm the craziest when I'm inlove. 

20. What’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for you? It was with my first true love, I remember way back in college, since we are in different schools we only see each other right after school. It was our first monthsary when I got a text message from him letting me know that he can't pick me up because he's busy with the exam and his basketball tournament (he's a varsity player). I frowned because he doesn't even remember that it was our first monthsary. I didn't tell him that I am disappointed but instead I texted him back that It's was okay and I totally understand. Right after class when me and my friends went down the hall I've heard some of them we're shouting. Then I saw him standing in front of the gate wearing his killer smile and was carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers. There I was, can't even move for I was totally surprised and don't even know what to utter. He just handed the flowers, hug me and kiss me in the forehead whispering ("Happy Monthsary bby") *_* then I died ^_^. How can I ever forget him if he was my first everything... I guess, First Love never dies -_-

I guess that's it for now, just twenty random things that I wanted to share to all of you. I really hope you had a great time reading this short post of mine. If you have some follow up questions that you wanna asked me go ahead and comment below. It'll be my pleasure to answer every single question that you have for me. God Bless You All!

My Love for Makeup and an entry to LAfelicianoXMissBellaPh Giveaway Contest♥

It's been month already since I blog about makeups, again blame it on the lazy me (lol) . It's really hard to keep up without a camera with me, and specially if there isn't anyone who can take your photos for you. So last night, I was a little inspired to open up my makeup box and will be doing a makeup look. Do you want to know what inspires me? or rather who inspires me? Okay, before spilling it out let me first show you some of the photos I gathered while doing the look. I owe this to my brother Mykuh who took most of the photos, if you're reading "Thanks a lot koi" I know I can count on you. ^.^(wink!)

Showing off my bare face while holding my 120 Color Palette 3rd Edition from Bh Cosmetics. I miss this baby so much, haven't touch this after my sissie's wedding. Oh well, last night I was able to bond with this baby again.

These were just the babies I've used last night, my MUA Immaculate palette and BH cosmetics eye palette along with the Everybilena products as well. I've been dying to have a complete brush set, sad to say I'm too unlucky with the giveaways I've joined that includes an amazing brush set. Better luck next time I guess. :)

haha! You see, I really have a thin brow line. That's basically the reason why I can't go out without lining my brow. Applying my Everbilena Advanced Foundation Stick. 

Starting my base with a white eye palette from MUA, making it as an eye primer. Then right after the white eye palette, I chooses the mint green on the entire crease area from MUA palette.

For my outer crease I opted to use the 120 eye palette from BH Cosmetics in the shade of Dark green to create a smokey green eye-shadow.

Then I touches it up with a very light shade of green which is yellow green on the inner lid and blend it well along with the inner crease to outer crease area.

Let's do the blending power :) 

Hoala! I'm finally done! :) Okay, I will now spill it out. I made this look for fun and for a makeup entry again! woohow! It's been what since I joined makeup contest like this? As far as I can remember it was way back January with the Oh SO Emerald Contest where I won as 2nd Runner-up from Jannieology's blog.

Fitnesse 14 Day Program (Day 1)

Good Morning my dear fellas! Today, I'll be sharing a new fitness program where you and I can do this together. Who want to lose weight say I! I! Yes, I just don't want to lose some weight but as well as to be healthy and fit. A few weeks ago I've seen Laureen Uy, the famous Filipina fashion blogger and a newbie actress flaunting her sexy abs on her instagram and encouraging her readers as well as her followers to try the 14 Day Program that has been launched by Nestle Fitnesse. I was thinking to try it out for weeks and finally I have decided yesterday when me and my best bud Chrissie went for a grocery shopping. What encourages me most when I saw the cereal box is the freebie which contains a 20 min. dance exercise on it. Without hesitations I picked up the box and bought it. I know I have to be motivated if I really wanted to lose some weight and not to mention the abs! (insert starry smiley here♥) 

There you go! that's the freebie I've been talking about. The box itself will draw your attention, Shape Up your Lifestyle and Dance like a POP STAR! wow! At the back of the box you'll see the instructions that you need to follow in order to achieve your goal which is to lose some weight and to flatten your tummy. 

Nestle Finesse 14 Day Program includes an example Meal Plan:

BREAKFAST:

1) 1 bowl of Nestle Fitnesse, Honey & almond with skimmed milk, 1 portion of fruit, 1 cup of     tea/coffee.

LUNCH:

2) Choose a balanced meal, e.g. vegetable and fish with rice or pasta and a low fat dessert.

DINNER:

3) 1 bowl of Nestle Fitnesse, Honey & almond with skimmed milk. Don't forget there are lots of great flavours to choose from.

If Nestle Fitness 14 Day Program has a Meal plan, I also have my 5 steps to stay fit PLAN. I guess you're already familiar with this since I got this from the movie "My Big Love" :)

Goal Setting! that's number one on the list. I have to ask myself first why I wanted to lose weight? ans: I want to feel healthy, sexy, fit and fab and I'm not doing this for someone else's but I'm doing this for myself. :)

Start Today! When you say start today, you really have to start today! Not later, not tomorrow but today! Start exercising today ♥

No shortcuts! What do I mean by no shortcuts? That means I have to start with number one rule and no skipping.

Motivate yourself! How to motivate yourself? Well, as for me the only inspirations I have to be well motivated is my family. I don't want them to worry about me being unhealthy.

Be happy! The last and final part of the plan is to be happy. Achieving once goal is a great reward for yourself and that part will really make me so happy. :)

How about you? what's yours? 

This is my step number one, my Goal Setting! :) I wanted to at least make that 58 kilos down  to 55 for two weeks! Three kilos is not a lot but that's too hard for me since I really love eating. This time I have to sacrifice and forbid myself to eat junk foods and fatty foods. I have to follow my Meal Plan, remember, no shortcuts! :)

So what's this? later you'll know! 

Are you excited? This will be my Start Today! :)

Start today! Start Exercising today! I woke up early today for my 20 minutes exercise just to burn calories. Since I have a work at 8:00 a.m. I have to sacrifice waking up early around 5:00 a.m for my dance exercise. 

No shortcut! This is my no shortcut plan. I have to follow my meal plan, no skipping or else I'll go back to rule number one which is? Goal Setting again! So to avoid going back to rule number one, always remember that there are no shortcuts! 

Motivate yourself! You see I took a photo of myself showing off my tummy to motivate myself from this body to getting a flat tummy plus abs :)

Be Happy! Since this is a 14 Day program, I can't show you the real be happy stage since we're not yet done but for today I'm happy to burn calories from exercising and sweating like hell! :) Yey! Finally, I have enough reason to continue now. How about you? Do you want to lose weight? Are you ready for the transformation? If your answer is yes then join me and let's do this together! Hand in hand and let's see the result after 14 days. I challenged you! Let me know if you decided to join me :)
