Setting all negativity aside, I'm proud to "promote" my new published article on organic and eco-friendly eyeliners.
Let's examine a list of eco-friendly eyeliners from which eco-conscious shoppers can choose. These are suitable for consumers with allergies and sensitive eyes, and for those who exercise green living in their lifestyles.

I've got more coming up this month, but they all...

Disappointed.
And frustrated. And irritated. And sad. And depressed. Name all the negative feelings and I've experienced them at the same time in a matter of minutes. And it's not for me. It's for someone I love - my husband. I know things aren't exactly good but I never thought it was that bad.
I just want my husband home. I want to comfort him. To tell him in person that I support him all the way, no matter...
Eanna @ Rustan's
I love the kid's level of Rustan's. They have a place where kids can play to their hearts' content. Makes it easier for mommies to shop, hahaha.

Liberty & Kamiseta
Really. I resisted initially when I first saw the Kamista Liberty of London line a couple of weeks back. I found them to be expensive.
But I guess my downfall was seeing a print I really really love. And so I gave in.
This was my other option...
I chose the former because it looked more formal and...

Chun-Li and Me
A recent myLot discussion reminded me of those days when I used to go to the arcades and play Street Fighter. I was so gaga over this game that i told my parents to buy me that huge box. Hahaha.
I remembered when I was playing by myself and this group of guys just looked at me in disbelief. One of...

The Temptation that is Mesotherapy
I had lunch with long-time friend/classmate M at Cyma the other day, and of course, the topic on fats came up since she is a cosmetic surgeon student. I have read and heard about Mesotherapy and got me curious because this is a non-surgical cosmetic medical treatment to break down fats and all. However, I'm still a bit scared because I don't know if it will work and what the known side effects are....
Get Started in Losing Weight
Admit it, at one point in time you have been intrigued or even tried diets that promised to let you lose weight in x number of days. The idea that one just has to change what food to eat in a week or so and the end-result is shedding a few pounds and inches off one's body is quite appealing. However, there are cases of weight loss stories where those who have successfully lost weight eventually gained...

Utility Area Jungle
Our utility area looks like a dangerous jungle, yet again.
So many boxes and items that I dont even know if we still use. There's no organization for the linens, clothes, and small appliances, and I am starting to lose hope on ever clearing this messy place. I want to spring clean this area badly...
Tron Legacy
There are just too many movies to watch these coming weeks! I got to watch Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, and Prince of Persia, and now i am eagerly awaiting for Sex and the City 2 next week. Then there's Salt starring Angelina Jolie.
But this movie is what I really look forward to watching...
TRON LEGACY
I still have to wait for December though for this. A...
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
My bff I and I watched Prince of Persia last night, and it was F-U-N!!!
I enjoyed the movie, and not only because Jake Gyllenhaal looked so gorgeously scruffy, but because of the storyline itself. Really action-packed, and though it's kinda of predictable what would happen in the end, it wasn't the...

Busy Busy Day
Wow, this this day is a busy day for me, I just realized it now! Here's my schedule for the day:
Morning - chat with the hubby, check myLot, cashout my Readbud (see previous post), update blog
Lunch: Have lunch with friend M at Cyma. Finally our much-awaited and always cancelled lunch is pushing through. I surely have a lot of catching up to do.
After lunch - Meet my "marriage godmother" to hand over...
Trying to Earning Online
Lately I've been reading a lot on how to earn more online, whether through blogging or through other means. Two options for me are those paid to click sites and article writing. I'm not really fond of odesk, elance, and freelancer simply because I kind of have this thing with bidding.
First, the paid-to-click sites are no-brainers, but the earnings is really SLOW especially if you do not have any...
Readbud $50 Request for Payout!
Finally, after agonizing over the fact that I am 2 cents away from the $50 payout level and the website has given me only 2 articles to read and rate yesterday (usually it's more like 20+), I reached the payout level of Readbud.com today, and I am anxiously awaiting for them to pay me!

Busy Being A Decorator
Lately I've been very busy tinkering with my design software! I'm glad I have another "client" and so I came up with another design fro a 1-br condo unit. More on accessorizing though, because I think the couple has no intention of doing major carpentry work and lighting fixtures. All the same I made...

Not For Me I Guess
Just when I thought that the opportunity is perfect and that I got excited about it, suddenly all went grey. Shucks. I guess it's not for me.
Oh well. The One Up There really gives us signs and guides in our life.
In the meantime, I will just drown myself with design projects. I am currently making one for my friend J who wants their condo to be decorated - more on accessories such as Seagull lighting,...

Living Room Using Live Interior 3D
I am so enjoying learning how to use the Live Interior 3D software. Here's what I came up so far for our living area... Took me hours to "perfect" it hahaha!
Now the question is if I have the budget to implement this design. Oh well, love doing this anywa...

Turquoise and Orange
I know, green is my favorite color, but then right now I am really so into the turquoise and orange combination that I couldn't resist changing my blog's look.
Does turquoise + orange = lavender? Hahahaha.
Hope you like my new lo...
Live Interior 3D Pro
I'm so happy to have finally gotten a home interior design program... Live Interior 3D Pro!
At least now I can make layouts and designs for our home... and for others! Yehey!
I wish I could easily learn how to use it. I'm sure this will even make me more glued to my laptop. Haha...

The Problem With Having a Joint Account...
Is that you see everything.
Oh, I don't mean joint bank account, but more like... hehehe... Facebook account. You see, the husband and I have a joint FB account and at first it was fun and quite ok, really. I get to see his friends, he gets to see mine, etc etc. But then a booboo happened. My BFF and I were chatting using the FB chat (I Will never use this again!) - never mind what it was about....

Time To Breathe
After almost two weeks of having no household help plus the fact that both daughter and I have been sick, our helper is back home. It's funny because yesterday, I had this crazy idea of having a "day-off" hahaha. I hit the mall and watched two movies one after the other. I got to drink my favorite Big...

Books To Get
Still thinking about it, but I think I'd get these two books that I found in National Bookstore...
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Power Moms - this is a book containing 101 stories of moms who chose to stay at home to work at home. Nice inspiration for me, who is currently facing a "self-crisis."

Insurance Bills
I got a letter from the bank informing us of the renewal of our home insurance. I was pleasantly relieved that the amount went down, though I'm not sure if the terms are the same. In this new one, Acts of God are not included in the "fire and lightning" insurance. This reminded me of the time when I was checking on car insurance reviews last year and our provided told us that Acts of god are no longer...
Truly Unlucky
I guess I need help again. After three days of having a new yaya, I had no choice but to release her. She's not really at par with my already-low standards. Sure, she stays with Eanna, but that's all she does. She doesn't take care of her. I still do all the tasks, and with no assistance from her. She just watches. The last straw was when I entered the room after dinner and I saw them both sleeping...

Crazy Celebrity Baby Names
Forget Shiloh or Suri. I am talking about really crazy celebrity baby names, and believe me, you'd wonder what they were thinking when they named their bundle of joy these names.
It all started when I came across Shannon Sossamon's baby, and the baby's name is Audio Science. Ok, let's step back. Usually there are baby girl's names and baby boy's names. But the name Audio Science doesn't tell you...
Eanna's Last Day of Summer Class
Today was Eanna's last day of her summer classes, and I feel a bit sad because I know Eanna has been enjoying her classes and always looks forward to going to school. I also got used to this routine of staying in her school for a couple of hours.
Anyway, their class prepared simple food that the kids...

She loves tinkering with my computer! I can just imagine her being a computer geek, just as I was when I was still a kid. Funny thing with this picture, instead of an adult, is a little lady. Instead...
She Really Is Getting Well
For a couple of days now, the little girl has been very needy and clingy and always wanted me to be close to her. She was sick in those days. Well, both of us were. I was irritable too and when I think about it, I really did a poor job in handling the situation. Now I feel guilty but I promise to be an even better mom.
However, one thing I noticed today (after checking out sites about eczema natural...
Feeling Better
The little girl and I are feeling much better, though I think we still haven't fully recovered and need to take more rest and continue with our meds (me at least). I just want to thank both sides of our families for helping us in this time of need. My parents sent one of their helpers to help clean the house and take care of the the little one during the day. My in laws on the other hand (MIL, SIL,...

Sick and Overwhelmed
Now I am the one sick. And it is doubly hard because I have to take care of the house, what to eat, and of course, I have to attend to my very demanding daughter. It is a bit overwhelming right now and to describe myself as emo is such an understatement.
I am very frustrated right now. Frustrated that my daughter is not as disciplined as I thought she was. She demands everything to be done and done...
Flower Power
My sweet little baby is slowly recovering and is now asleep.
She was very stubborn earlier during the day, and I really feel bad now that I have vented my anger (and tiredness and frustration) on her. But no, it's not as bad as you think! Still I feel bad though. I hope she forgives me. But anyways,...
Thoughts on Reorganizing the Home
I couldn't sleep last night because my daughter was sick and I had to keep an eye on her. Aside from watching videos I also read some stuff over the net. I came across this nice article from Unclutterer on how to get back into being organized after "falling off the wagon."
Keep Things in Perspective:
Failure only happens if you never recover. If your system falls to pieces but you eventually get...

Mother's Day 2010
Mother's Day is around the corner, and though I haven't gotten anything for my Mom, Grandma, and myself (harharh) I pretty much know what to give. For my mom, I am bent on giving her Olay products. Just don't know if I should get her the micro-sculpting cream, the one with a touch of foundation, or a night cream (i know it's been a while since she used night creams). For my Grandma, organic chocolates...

My Pierre Herme Collection is Here!
After days of anticipating its arrival, my Pierre Herme collection is now here! Last week I got the notice slip from our post office that my package can now be claimed, but unfortunately I got it too late and that Monday was declared a holiday. Anyways, it wasn't that much of a hassle as I expected....
