For my only one...

For the person who loves me for being me, with or without makeup. For the one who still finds me beautiful with my crazy hair early in the morning when I just woke up, who finds me sexy even on my lousy pajama or lingerie. For the one who still finds me cute when I'm childish who accepts my tantrums & moodiness, for the one who always makes me happy whenever my spirit is down, who makes me feel so special everytime he looks at me. For the one who gets up early in the morning to send me to work safely. For the one who loves me from head to toe, my flaws & what not, thank you so much for sticking up with me the whole year round & I'm lloking forward to share another lovely year with you even the next lifetime & yes I may not be the perfect girl for you & yet your always there no matter what, so thank you & to the one who gave you to me, that's all I can say & along with that a promise to respect & stay inlove with you "para siempre"

No more Youtube... :(

Yes, I finally come to a decision to delete all my videos in youtube, I know some of my subscribers may get sad, well so am I. But the thing is I'm just so busy to make a video, load, edit & upload it, the whole process is just too long for me, specially now that I'm too busy at work, so I don't really have much time for videos. But then again I'll still be doing tuts & products reviews here in my blog since this is the only one I update most of the time. So to all my subscribers & readers, sorry to upset you guys I just don't have enough time for videos anymore even though its fun to make, well maybe I'll make a new channel in the future(who knows) for now, just stay updated with my blog & again thank you for always dropping by...

Merry Christmas!!!

.

To all of our family, friends, here & all around the world, from freezing Whistler w/love, Jorge & I are wishing you a very Merry Christmas & a blessed New Year to come. May you & your family have a happy & healthy life from this day on forward. Thank you for always being there for me & my hubby, for all the love & support, for being a true friend & a great family(the Urtusastegui & Donila) we can ever wish for, looking forward to be reunited w/all of you again, but for now we wish you all the best in both world!

.

God Bless everyone, peace out!

It's the season to forgive & forget...

Alot of my friends were very surprised about the bulletin that I posted in my friendster account, here's what I said...

.

"Stupid b!@--- Give me ur big shot & I'll show u what really a "B!@---" IS!!! Jealousy is one serious illment, get well soon looser!!

.

Poor b!@---, I wont let u get me, I'm younger & obviously prettier than u, I'm very happy w/my life specially w/my love life w/c you obviously dont have, something u called "karma" oh well what comes around goes around, u should have known better, mind your own business & stop messing around w/other people's lives!"

I don't really talk alot in person since I'm really a quiet type, so I guess this blog does helps me alot in letting the world know what I think & really I'm not really a mean person but no matter how you try to ignore things & just let it pass you by, stay unaffected, there comes a point that you just have to let go for you to feel better that's why I just have to post those words. Anyways, here I go again, they said Christmas is all about giving, loving, forgiving & forgetting, again I'm not taking back any of the harsh message I posted in my friendster's bulletin before. I stand up in what I believe, thought & said, since nobody have the right to step on other people's lives specially if their purpose is to pull them down. I'm only human, gets hurt, mad & became impulsive, but I'm not a cold-hearted person either, so I'm forgiving & forgetting whoever that person is who had made my day very uncomfortable(not only mine but lots of the people I knew) & may God truly bless her(I'm not being sarcastic of plastic, I mean it!) so that we'll all be happy!!!

PEACE OUT PEOPLE, MAKE LOVE NOT WAR!

Girls nightout @ Sachi Sushi

As you all know I don't really like going out that much since I'm a home-buddy, I'd rather stay home & sleep or blog all day but a girl needs to have a social life.

Looking forward 'til our next night-out girlies...

Xmas is here!!!

Well since its both our day off(hubby & I) we decided to put on the Christmas decor & yeah our tree is up, nothing fancy really but we do have to buy some lights to make it more alive. Anyways so that what we did all day(actually half of the day since we always sleep in during our day offs, who wouldn't right?!?!) The only thing that made my day was falling off 6 feet from the 5th step of our ladder going up to our loft(was helping hubby to take down the xmas stuff) Geez and up landing on my left butt(after that my left butt cheek hurts...lol, but it sure did) Hubby rush in scolding me to be careful, hmp! & asked me if I'm fine & if we need to go at the E.R. I know his just worried since I almost hit our center table w/c is made of glass(would have been so horrible, so thank God for always keeping me safe) Anyways I'm doing fine so nothing to worry about, invited him to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner & omg it was freezing -14 degrees outside(hubby said I look like an Eskimo girl...lol, so I told him he looks like a bugler since I can only see his eyes...lol)

.

I went to Gap & bought some gloves in w/c I can still use my ipod even if I'm wearing it, bought some Burt's Bees products(lip balm & hand treatment lotion I think, geez so expensive but worth it since this cold weather dries out my hand & also my work) & some earings on sale from Le Chateau...

>yummy Hunter's Chicken...

Hubby's Xmas Party...

I was pretty excited about my hubby's Christmas staff party which was held in our hotel. Anyways, I decided to make my ever straight hair curly & I did get tons of compliments on about how my hair looks so flirty curly...lol, so here are the simple steps I did to have a curly hair w/ the ohhlala...lol

.

1. Washed my hair with Pantene's Volume shampoo w/conditioner(any volume shampoo will do its just that my hair loves Pantene
2. While its still damp(almost dry but still wet) I put on a generous amount of Garnier's XXL Vlolume Mousse
3. Once its completely dry I spray sections of my hair w/ L'oreal Studio Fix Control Spray then put my curlers on(sleep w/ it until the next day)
4. Once its time to reveal your curls, spray Pantene's Curl Lock into your hand rub & apply to your curls(focusing from the middle to the end)
5. For soft frizz free look I spray some Garnier Sleek & Shine Serum into my hands, rub & run it through my hair(don't comb it just use your fingers for you may loose the curls if you do)

And bellow are the pics of my curly hair with some pics from the "Black & White" staff party from my hubby's work, its nice to see some former co-workers, enjoy!

.

Feeling like a Princess...lol

Gotta love Gossip Girls!!!

Its winter time already & even if I don't want to, I have to be all bundle up with layers of sweater, jackets & scarfs & all that winter clothing to keep me warm. I admit that with all those clothes layered on top of each other doesn't look to sexy, instead they make you look bulgy & stuffed. Since its my day of I searched online some fashion tips on how to look stylish & sleek without compromising your fashion statement. I was watching the Gossip Girl yesterday & I got some good winter fashion idea from them.

.

The Gossip Girls

So here's my take on my what not winter fashion statement...

Beauty In Style...

I like reading fashion magazines since I learn a lot of thing & whatnot about the latest fashion & beauty trends. So I wanna share some of the beauty tips I read from the December 2008 issue of the In Style magazine. Click on the pics for a larger view...

Viva Pacquiao!!!

The whole Philippines & even here in Canada (around the world for sure) the Filipino community have been patiently waiting for this much awaited boxing fight between our very own Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar de la Hoya. My co workers have been bugging me to go with my hubby (they thought it would be great since his a Mexican) & see it at the Tapley's (our local bar-since they show every major event in sports like this from hockey, football & yes even boxing) But since I have 15 rooms that day I was kinda hesitant to go anywhere after my long tiring day at work, was suppose to be working 9 hours since I have 2 extra rooms, but to my surprise I always finish it earlier so I'm off after 8 hours. So to cut the long story short, hubby decides to go for fun & it was fun & thrilled for sure! Bellow are the pics taken during the fight, so I was hopping from the Mexican side (my hubby & my friends-Ayax & Paco not too many Mexicans though) & the Filipino's side, always been proud to be one(my friends at work & the rest of our community w/s pretty much filled the bar, made me thought I was in the Philippines...lol) & some of the screen shots from the fight...

Let's get it on...

Opps he did it again...

I love Mexicans...

But ofcourse I love my own too...

I'm ME!!!

If your judging me & can't seen to trust me just because who my friends are, well let me tell you & prove your wrong, since I'm me & nobody can influence or change the way I think or behave, I don't believe in rumors but rather in facts, facts that are based on what I see & how YOU treat me, everybody is different from each other, so I guess you just judge me base on what you see & how I treat you, not because of who I am with(friend/s) But then again trust is very hard to earn, so if you don't trust me, its ok I don't have to prove myself to anyone anyways since I don't live for them(except for God, my loved ones & true friends) I believe that secrets should stay secret forever, I'm not forcing you to believe me but why don't YOU give me a chance & you'll see that your secrets are safe w/ME. I can be a very good & loyal friend, but watch out, don't dare stab me from the back because I will get you for sure!

Dear Santa,

My Dearest Santa, (to whom it may concern, ehemmm...)

I know I'm not perfect, but believe me I've been trying so hard to be a good girl. I was never late a t work even though I feel extremely lazy (which is most of the time) I try my best to please my hubby by treating him nice, serving & doing all my wifey duties (even though I like also like it when he spoils & pampers me ;) Anyways, I know I deserve a special gift this Christmas so here are some "wish list" that I have, don't worry they don't come in order & you can at least give me one at a time which means even one for now will do, wehehe...I also have pictures of them just so you know what exactly they look like, thank you in advance Santa!

Mini Haul & Outfit of the day...

Just wanna share my mini haul that I got from Walmart, bought new work shoe since the one that I have is not in good shape anymore & a snow pants to match the snow boots that I got from Vancouver. Also my outfit of the day a yellow sweater on top of my cream blazer, a skinny jeans w/my leg warmer & a white shoe...

Evian Mineral Water Spray

Last summer I always wanted to but a facial spray that I can use as a mixing medium to set or apply my face & eye makeup. Something cheaper & can be use as an alternative for the high end Mac Fix+, been looking for it every where until 2 weeks ago, I was surprised to find this Evian Natural Mineral Water Spray (400 ml...huge bottle) I keep it in the fridge & it gives my a fresh feeling everytime I use it to apply my foundation (I sprits my flat top brush w/Evian then swirl it to the small red bowl where I put some of my foundation, I don't use the cap cover of my foundation since I don't want it to be contaminated) & I love the way it looked on my skin, it looks so natural & it gives me that air-brushed look w/o it being powdery & cakey, I used to have dry spots on my skin & now it just looks smooth & flawless, I'm really loving this canned water!

What it Claims:
As it is purified deep within the mountains, Evian acquires a neutral pH (7.1) and a unique balance of minerals that are beneficial to your skin. The exquisitely fine mist produced by the Brumisateur penetrates the top layers of the skin to rehydrate and deliver calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium—minerals all skin types need.

Ingredients:
Natural mineral water, Nitrogen

Pros:

-Can be use to spray on face, body & hair, just like the Mac Fix+
-After cleansing, generously mist Evian Spray over the entire face, wait a minute for the droplets to be absorbed, and then pat the excess dry. Follow with your favorite moisturizing cream or lotion to seal in that special Evian moisture.
-Rehydrate skin suffering from overheated or dry office air. Evian Spray also revives your makeup throughout the day, and keeps you looking fresh by replenishing much needed moisture.
-A cleansing mist of Evian Spray Mineral Water removes perspiration, harmful salt or chlorine, and instantly soothes and rehydrate sun-burned or wind chapped skin.
-Perfect for misting all over the face to 'set' a makeup look or for periodic refreshment throughout the day.

Cons:

-Only available at certain drugstores
-A bit pricey $15 for a canned water...lol

.

Will you buy it again?
-I think so

.

Will you recommend this to a friend?
-Yes, but if they don't wanna spend $15, 1:3 ratio of glycerin & water will do

.

My Rate: 5 Kisses, a cheap alternative if you can't afford the Mac Fix+

My finish look after applying my makeup using the Evian spray...

Just feel like sharing...this is the new vanity mirror dad gave me, ty so much dad, its perfect for applying my makeup, since I can see every angle of my face because of the light...

More Collective Haul...

As you all know I love Revlon Colorstay makeup line (except I don't use the foundation & powder anymore since I stick to my Everyday Minerals, but I highly recommend the though ) So I got some collective haul from our Vancouver trip & some of them I got from our local drugstore. What are they? More colorstay products, eye pencils in carbon, liquid eyeliner in carbon & black shimmer, a concealer in medium (has spf 15 that's why i love it & gives a great coverage) lip liners in rose & light rose (I think, am not sure, too lazy to look it up...lol) & last but not the least the minerals lip glaze, got 4 of them, & what can I say, I love, love, love them!!! Also got a Wet n' Wild brow liner w/gel from Walmart (was surprise how good it is) & the Evian moisture spray (I use it to apply my foundation this cold, freezy-winter season, makes my skin well moisturise, since this season makes my skin dry...I hate it!) Will do review on these products in the future.
