lust beyond words

..i have taken my skin care a notch higher and took a short break from using everything Kiehl's (i only have the facial scrub and shaving cream left, because they were too amazing to give up)...3 weeks ago, i started using the Clarins Men product line starting with the moisturizer and the foaming cleanser...a bit pricey compared to Kiehl's but it works wonders and i've seen some amazing results :)



...the moisturizer is noncomedogenic which means it doesn't clog your pores, it's also light and non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin..i was so happy with the result that i decided to get a toner from Clarins as well..funny thing was my Clarins attendant gave me some ab-firming lotions as freebies..either she was being sweet or it's her subtle way of saying i'm fat..i'll remind myself to always wear my Spanx when out LOL!



..i have also taken my perfume selection to a more upscale level by choosing CREED...it's way too pricey for a bottle of perfume but it's well worth it (one bottle is equivalent to the price of 3 Diesel/Issey Miyake)..i lean towards fresh, fruity scents so Royal Water is just perfect for me...this will be my scent for summer/spring 2012 :)



...i just needed one more thing before i get back to my usual spending budget, and that is to get this Oxford blazer from Zara..it was love at first sight and lust beyond words LOL!!! my friend from NYC is buying me one and i should be sporting this one off the rack come May..i can't wait!!



...and ow, before i finish this post, who's going to Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball in Manila? i know it will be awesome and it will be absolute love if i can join the party :)

pak!

...got some news yesterday about us having to do a photoshoot for a company promo...it's something that i haven't done before so i was a bit excited about it.... head to the studio and came prepared, it's about time i can put my Zara suit to good use :)



...made a quick stop at Starbucks for some caffeine fix before the shoot...i needed something to perk me up and a tall hot signature chocolate was just what i needed :)



...30 plus minutes and i was doing like a pro...like it was 2nd to breathing LOL!!!!



...i can't wait to see the printed stills..yay!! i got to get some sleep...i'll be in Boracay for the weekend and i haven't started packing...as usual :)

one more day

...i still got one last shift tonight and i can start my short vacation for the weekend...be heading to my bestfriend's hometown to celebrate the b-day of her baby Simone and i'm super excited to see both of them again :) the theme is going to be Alice in Wonderland and she already hired some people to dress up like the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter - that alone makes me want to start the party right about now hehehe :)

...did a quick retail therapy earlier to get something to wear for the party...good thing i reserved something from Lacoste over the weekend...got it earlier and then i made a quick stop at the salon to get a new hair color (i'm now sporting a dark ash blonde do)



...now all i'm waiting is for my shoes to arrive...i asked a friend to get it for me...fell in love with it the first time i saw it online...if only Zara opens up a flagship store in Cebu i'll be happier :)



...now the only thing i need to make sure is to not forget my b-day gift :) i was amused by the concept of customizing your own stuff toy complete with a birth certificate



...this is the safest i can get for a 1-year old on top of a pair denim jeans and jacket from Levi's Kids...it's going to be a very wonderful weekend :)

toxic

...work for this week is a bit toxic coz we got clients visiting the site till Friday..so no slack allowed (not that i'm saying i do when they're not here)...i got 2 more weeks to spare and we'll have another client visit and a quarterly business review after that (i might be heading to Clark for it)

...i wore the jacket i've been obsessing the last week earlier in the office...took a few shots to take my mind off from work for a while :)





...i can't wait for Feb 15 to come coz i'll get to finally see Percy Jackson on the big screen..i'm a super fan of the series and hopefully this adaptation won't disappoint :) i'm suoerduper excited!!!!

i finally got it!

...this is what i have been obsessing about since Sinulog when i saw it worn by my bestfriend's hubby :)



...i didn't get to see it the last time i visited Zara in Manila...thanks to my online shopping skills, i was able to find the product code and asked a friend to buy it for me...it's a bit pricey for a jacket (i can buy 2 Lacoste polo shirts with the price but it's soo worth it)....can't wait to whore it out hehehe

...now all i need is a new pair of shades for Boracay come the next weekend :)

another happy weekend

...my Manila weekend vacation was just something i needed...got to spend time with friends (those that i haven't seen in almost 4 years) and of course i get to spend time with my bestfriend...multiple coffee breaks, fancy lunch and of course the much needed retail therapy (i guess i went overboard with what i was suppose to spend)

...Sunday was super special coz i get to spend time with Simone (my bestfriend's baby) for the first time...we had lunch at Chelsea and head to Sonja for some dessert


*@ Chelsea for lunch, we we're trying hard to make her smile for the pic she ended up crying hehehe


*@Sonja having cupcakes for dessert


*on to more retail therapy :)

...back in Cebu, and a signal no.1 welcomes me back to work, guess this is the perfect sign that vacation mode is over...good thing i bought the Percy Jackson series and something from Melissa dela Cruz (it's like Vampire Diaries meets Gossip Girl)...indulgent reading at it's finest


*these babies will keep me on house arrest this weekend :)

...the only thing i don't like about the weather is i can't get to wear this perfect pair of sneakers i bought last week from Zara...oh well , bad timing i guess



...and ow, did i tell you i haven't see New Moon yet? i need a date! :)

about having tight undies and KitKat for lunch

...i can no longer take the hundred strands of white hair in my head that i finally decided to get a new color...i don't wanna wake up one day looking like Taylor Hicks ewww...guess it happened because of too much stress from work and having my hair blow dried for the longest time i can remember...i got a subtler color this time, wanted to do the platinum blonde like Becks but i don't wanna go through the same pain so i got rid of the thought...i've got ash brown this time...just right to fill those nasty strands...



***i badly need some sleep still

...met up with Ian after to do some catching up, she spent one blissful week in Dubai for a vacation...had dinner at some resto havin some chops and got coffee after...and ow...she got me these...lots of luv from Dubai...stretch undies from Zara...she got me 4...and this is mah fave one...super-gay-striped-baby-blue...love it :)



...woke up late this morning...super starving but i can't get out because of the super-duper heavy rain...felt like those raindrops gonna drill a hole in the rooftop...good thing i still got a pack of kitkat left...enough to fill me up till the rain stops while listening to Hillary Duff's "Come Clean"...sweet!



...and i'm downloading HEROES's finale right now...can't wait :)
