[Project FeeTrail June 2013]: Journey to explore my faith

I almost forgot that I have to have a photo for my Project Feetrail this month.

Problem is, I've been to places, but it didn't made quite an impact on me. My Feet Trail project is to remind me and take me back to the feeling where I've been.  Then last Tuesday night, I thought about it and secretly took a shot.

This photo was taken on a rainy Tuesday night,  after I attended a Single Professional something. This is after I have agreed to a Bible study. Yes. After a month of procrastination, I have agreed to a bible study.

I'm on a quest to explore my faith this year. I actually remember telling few friends that I had problems with my next move in life because I believe I need counseling. I feel that I need to explore my faith and have a better connection and relationship with God. I'm not exactly religious, but God had bailed me out so many times and in the last year, He solved my problems for me that I feel that I need to shut up and let Him do his will for me.

I think I need to take care of my spirit. So yes, I am on a quest. I can't afford a trip to India to explore faith and prayer like Liz Gilbert, but I think I would like to try a similar path, something within my means and within the Philippines.

Review: Lolane Free Style Styling Mousse

Last month, I decided to just get a regular mousse instead of the curl-defining one. I saw this and it was on sale.

 Remember when there's no curl-defining mousse?

 It fits the budget. Less than Php 300. But since I got it on sale, I got it at 10% off.

Love this kind of nozzle. It dispenses the product easily.

And when I dispensed the mousse, it's thick and concentrated. You don't need much actually. It's surprisingly thick, even my sister was surprised.

And because I got a reader request to post pictures with my hair the actual product on, here it is:

That's my hair, not staged, and while at work (covering a story for a museum). Sorry I don't have closer photos but you can zoom it if you like.  

(FYI: My hair has been digi-permed for almost 2 years now, never had a hot oil treatment, not even a hair cut after having it permed in 2011. I just had it colored several times in those years.) 

Will I buy again? Absolutely. 

Product Review: Suesh Make up Brushes

Part of the Suesh Make Up workshop that I attended early this year comes a set of make up brush set. I chose the 7pc one. Since the brush is longer, it gives a professional make-up artist vibe when holding it.

Product Review: The Body Shop Make up brushes

Probably one of my favorite make up brushes are from The Body Shop.

29 years ago, my mom was gifted an Angel

Her name is Angelina and she took care of me when I was six months old.

I keep saying in this blog that I wanted a brother that's because I already have an older sister who took care of Aprille and me,

I would like to credit our Achi Helen, whose been with us since I was barely six months old. If there's someone who knows us so well, that's our Achi Helen. Part of who (Aprille and me) we are today, part of it was Achi Helen.

Happy, Happy birthday to our Achi Helen, who's literally been with us through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, through our ups and downs. I never saw Achi as someone other than my older sister. God was so good to my mom that He blessed her with an Angel who's been with us for almost 30 years and counting.

In this day of age, finding and having another "Achi Helen" is so scarce that it's almost close to impossible. I am forever thankful and grateful that even before I even reached a year old, we already have a guardian angel until now and until forever.

I love you Achi.

UPLB Freshman Fair

Yes, you heard/read it! Something new, right?

With the new generation of UPLB students calling Carabao Park as C-Park, Freedom park as F-Park, and the ground in front of the Humanities Building where the Oblation is, as O-Park, this Fair, again is something new. 

This is what they call The Freshie Fair (Freshman Fair).

Product Review: Charm and Marionnaud Make Up Brushes

For quite sometime now, I've been collecting Make up brushes and brush set for years now. And I have an embarrassing make up brush confession. I seem to lug around these brushes with me whenever I go. I have yet to meet another person who has an "emergency make up kit" in the office like me.  I can still remember what my friend and colleague, Eisen, said, when I told him about the kit: 

It seems like the word "emergency" doesn't go with "make up kit" in one sentence. 

Haha! But seriously, I think I fell in love with Make up brushes first before the Make up Artistry itself. Maybe it reminds me a lot of my childhood that I used to paint. And before I know it, I've been collecting make up brushes now and I even like to mix and match brushes from their sets.

WTH: What The Heck Books in Book Sales

I love book sales! I must get into one when I see one. Most of the time, I buy. I get the cheap ones, like 2 chick lit books in mint condition under the price of Php 85.00. Really. That's actually how good I've become in getting cheap deals. I have a thing for chick literature books. I am not a wide reader. I wish I am, but I do get bored easily. I read to entertain myself. I think I have a slight mental ADHD. I was quite relieved when Dr. Hechanova, said that she reads chick literature books during her free time. Because it just relaxes her and does not require her to analyze much. Well, ditto!

Last week I went to two book sales and bought 3 books that I will not be able to read until I finish my manuscript. What I also love about book sales is you get to find What the heck... books like these.

I searched for this and this book got good ratings. 3.5 out of 5.

And I was surprised with the rating for the second book. 4.67 out of 5 with very minimal comments. To those who still don't know, sex really sells.

They are actually prized very cheap, wanted to buy it but don't know who to give it to after. So I just left it on the shelf and moved on with my purchase.

Now after seeing the ratings I'm thinking I should have bought it and give it to two people that I secretly have in mind. Haha!

How about you? What WTH books have you encountered recently?
