snagged this one from Yen

1. When you were in high school, how did you envision your future? Kids, college, marriage, professional, etc.?
+ It was a fairy tale dream actually back then, I used to think of myself and my family living in a big and beautiful house living in super ideal family life.

2. How does that compare to the reality of what was to come?
+ I love my life now, I may not be at my happiest nor at my satisfied state but I’m alright with it, overwhelmed with the love and care I continuously receiving from my family esp from my husband and baby

3. What, if anything, would you change about your choices, had you had the benefit of knowing what was to come?
+ I probably would not change anything from the choices I made. Although I might work a little longer to help my family before settling in the married state. But, everything happens for a reason, I believe the man up there will still provide for me so that I can still work on the dreams I have…

4. Do you believe that the cliche about clouds and silver linings holds true, that out of bad can cause good?
+ I guess so…

5. What about karma? Does what goes around come around?
+ Oh yes, karma strikes faster.

Pretty Tracy gave me with so kikay tag!

So here are my daily essentials… had to have a group shot of all because it’s so tiring to take separate photos eh…

1. To start my ritual after my bath is the GODIVA alcohol free toner, available at Watson’s for P120, super hiyang with my skin and at the same time so gentle because no alcohol content.

2. Olay Moisturizer at P500 (more or less) super nice the effect on the skin, I make sure to put on these creme everyday after the toner.

3. My super duper loves EVERYDAY MINERALS set from the concealer, foundation to the finishing powder! I sometimes put on EM eye shadows.. and not to forget the Kabuki Brushes! so soft and super nice as the applier…

4. MARY KAY Lipstick in Frosted Rose - love the shade, it took me a long time to finally met my right shade actually, and now we are having a good time together! lol

5. EVERYDAY MINERAL colored lip balm - so natural it can make my chappy lips soft in an instant, its my daily partner if I’m not using my lipstick.

6. AVON full mascara - I used it whenever I’m in the mood to really prep up, not so often actually.

7. Clinique Pressed Powder, though I seldom use it because my EM powders can last a long time, I just always have it in my purse or bag, just in case.

8. Mary Kay Complete Compact Make up - I used it before the EMs, I still bring it with me whenever I go out, because it’s less hassle to apply, all in one kind of thing whenever I need some instant touch up.

There, my full list of make-up essentials, how about you MAI, LITZIE,ALPHA,JOY,MACY,EDS,YEN, CHIKAI, VANNIE, ABIE, MICH, JANE and JACQ?

Prayer for the MV Princess of the stars fatalities and survivors.

Dear God, we pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS).

Thank God for not having a husband who snores! Although I wouldn’t mind if he does, I guess I’m just one lucky wife to have a sleeping partner who doesn’t make a sound! According to him, it was actually me, who snores a bit specially when I’m uber tired!
