Four-eyed me

I was using glasses since I was 9 years old because of astigmatism. The doctor said it could be corrected but I refuse to wear the glasses I had then regularly because it made me look old. Now, I'm suffering for my stubbornness then. My vision was never corrected, now I had to suffer wearing glasses or contact lenses. Aside from maintenance because I had to go to the eye doctor every year to check if my glasses need adjustments, I had to buy disposable contact lenses every month.

My last pair (glasses) was bought at Quaipo where they sell cheap frames, I bought mine for just 1300 pesos and this came with multi-coated lenses. Unfortunately, it was broken about a year ago and since then I never had the time to go back to replace it. I had to use my old nerdy glasses with a lower lens grade.

Last week, there was an announcement at the office that there will be a free eye check-up and the glasses can be paid on 4 installments. After the check-up (my grade went from 125 to 150) :( I chose my glasses. It was so hard to pick as I was looking for nerdy glasses but something smaller than my previous one. Then I found this cute purple glasses that is perfect for me. It is much costly than what you could buy at Quiapo but this was on my convenience because I really don't have any time to go there.

I just received my glasses today and boy I was happy! I just hope it's durable and would last longer than my previous glasses... :)

Quarterly Product Use

One of the things or should I say the only thing I like working at a cosmetics company is we can purchase our products for FREE! Every quarter we are allowed to buy products worth 6500 and since we have a new line of make-up out in the market that's where most of the 6500 went.

Here are my purchases for the second quarter QPU:

Skintificates for me and my sisters

Best for insect bites as well as chapped, dry lips like mine

Something I can't leave without. Sun protection for my face.

Lip Gloss in Smack! and Subtle Shine Lipstick in Alizarin

Skin Bloom Blush in Pant

Got this on sale. Eye Oh My Eyeshadow Trio in Cocktail Hour.

All of My QPU purchases. Some were from 1st Quarter.

Another favorite product of mine is the Illuminants+ Antiperspirant. It's always in my list. It lightens underarms and prevents sweating.

Other products without individual photo are:

Id Lotion - Great for calluses.

Fine Finish Pore Minimiser - You can feel your skin tightens even on the first use.

Superskin Line for Combination Skin - Includes a cleanser, scrub and moisturizer. (I got these for my sister)

Glow Lip and Cheek Tint in Morning Sunshine - A brown with an orangey tint lip gloss. It gives just enough color on your lips. It's sticky to use on the cheeks though.

Next month will be having our third quarter QPU and I'm already planning what to get next... :)

One good day turned bad

I accompanied BF last saturday to Subic to visit one of our customers. We left Manila at around 7:20 AM. This was the first time we went to Subic on a weekend. Normally, travel time would be 3 hrs but eversince the SCTEx was opened, travel time was shortened to 2 hrs. only. It was farther than the normal route to Subic but at least we got there in a jiffy.

look at the speedometer

It was still early for his appointment so we went for a little drive inside Subic. Our first destination was the beach. We wanted to get inside to take some pictures but the entrance was expensive. We're not going to spend too much there, so we had our little picture taking outside the resort instead. We still had the beach view naman. After that, we thought of going to Ocean Adventure. We were driving for 10 km already but we still hadn't reached our destination. It seemed that Ocean Adventure was on the far far end of the road. Then we passed by a sign going to Zoobic Safari. Sabi ko dun na lang. By the time we reached the arc to forest park adventure, it was already time for his appointment. So in short, we reached neither of the two of our supposed destinations. As soon as BF's meeting with our customer was finished, we head back to Manila.

we saw monkeys

This way to Zoobic Safari

We had our lunch at Kenny Rogers at a gasoline station in NLEX. We were supposed to eat in Manila but was stomach was protesting! Masamang nagugutom ang tiyan ko! *LOL*


After our Subic trip, we went to our favorite mall (SM Mall of Asia). Favorite, kasi un ang pinakamalapit sa resto ni BF kaya palagi kaming nandun. We had our merienda then we went our separate ways. He, to the store. Me, sa mall. There was a sale, as in mall wide! *LOL* I purchased a blouse and a pair of pants. I was about to go to the shoes section when I passed by Timex. Piolo and Angel were in MOA and was about to visit the Timex branch there. I happened to be in a spot where they were going to pass by. So I reached for my phone in my bag so I can take their picture only to find out that it was missing. I forgot about Piolo and Angel and quickly rushed to the last place I went to. The restroom. Nothing there. I also checked Milk and Co., the last shop I went to. I asked the sales ladies there if they saw my phone. Negative. I immediately called BF so he can contact my number. Hoping that the person who found it would be kind enough to return it to me. At first it was ringing and then the call was being cut off, until he can't reach it anymore. Huhuhu...It was my favorite phone! An SE K800i. What's worst was, I just loaded it with 300 pesos! I really did not know when and where I lost it.


All I can say is, Mahirap na talaga ang buhay ngayon. Konti nalang ang taong may mabuting kalooban. Hindi man lang ako nataon sa isa. Oh well...
