The Things I Do for Love

Sorry for this very late post, everyone. Life has gotten quite complicated and I am now in argument with this thing called time. As you grow older, it seems to get out of your hands. I am struggling to manage it and to stop myself from saying, "I don't have time." Speaking of time, I now have work during Saturdays (BOO!), so I miss hanging out with my fellow Bellas. When Belle de Jour Power Planner announced of an event and it was scheduled on a Friday night, I said, "Yes! Finally! Time to bond with them again!"  Without second thoughts, I signed up for the BDJ Passion Series: Shake, Pour, and Serve ! It was held on June 14, 2013 in TGI Friday's Glorietta and the topic was about cocktail mixing and flair bartending. It's in perfect timing, too! 'Cause I like cocktail drinks and the creativity in mixing and looks that come with it! All about Shake, Pour, and Serve! ... with Marilyn Monroe on the side. My BDJ wristband for the event!

When I saw the post in Kiehl's Manila Facebook page about the Change Your Skin Challenge, and the chance to take home five full sized products, I went to the nearest store right away! I love joining contests and this one fits in! Besides, I got interested in Kiehl's products ever since I tried their BB Cream .  The poster. Taken from Kiehl's Manila FB page . I visited the Kiehl's branch in Greenbelt 5. I had trouble finding the place because the mall is a maze! When I saw the familiar skeleton in lab gown, I knew it was the Kiehl's store! The customer representatives were very nice. It was Gladys who accommodated me. She was very kind. She got some sheets which according to her, would determine the type of skin that I have. The number of dots on the gray circle would tell. Here is mine: I have normal to oily on my forehead and cheeks. My skin as determine by these amazing sheets! Knowing my skin type, Gladys happily introduced me to Kiehl's prod

This year's Toy Con, on June 14-16, was held in SM Megamall Megatrade Halls 1, 2, and 3. I was only able to attend Day 3, Sunday. It was my only free time and I'm so happy that most of my friends went on this day, too.  The 2013 Toy Con ticket The place was packed and I had no space to take photos of the venue, the stage, and the booths present. So, I decided to let my battery drain on cosplayers. And I'm happy I did! I went as Rei Ayanami for this event.  Me as Rei. Photo taken by Reeve using my camera. :) Yay! My friend Lot took candid shots of me behind the scenes! The photo below is my favorite! Thanks, girl! :) Me... taking photos. Photo by Lot . I was a cosplayer/photographer/blogger. It is something that I am always trying so much to improve. My cosplay is still far from standards but I'm proud to say that my photos have leveled up... a bit. LOL! :P Here they are: Cosplayer Precious as lady guard.  Cospla
