Late Reaction...
When i arrived home, I also search and wants to avail for the promo fare. My mom wants to travel with me. Unfortunately, it looks like there's no available promo. Sigh! I only feel the excitement now that there's no promo anymore! he he I always have a late reaction on many things. He he I guess it's not meant to be.
But we will try again tomorrow. Who knows, we could get lucky!
What's Hot For Halloween??
Costumes: Top sellers are witches, princesses, pirates and superheroes, but pop-culture costumes are also hot. The biggest trend is bloody obvious, and here are some ways to get in touch with your inner vampire. Think Michael Jackson gloves or Kate Gosselin wigs. Or get some video inspiration for a shiny, floating parody.
Candy: Chocolate is by far the most popular Halloween treat, but kids also love prank candy, themed lollipops and, well, gross gummies. This year a dark variation on a Valentine's favorite is a big seller.
Creative carving: The old eyes-nose-mouth triangles have given way to complex and beautiful pumpkin designs. Get creative with free templates and tips.
Spooky décor: Make a do-it-yourself gravestone or hang ghostly apparitions in the trees. If you're willing to put a little effort into it, this electronic creep is frighteningly good.
Haunted houses: Most every city has pay-per-scare haunted houses. This one in New Hampshire and another in Pennsylvania are popular, but this horrifying home in Baton Rouge consistently gets top ratings.
Boo you: Have you ever been BOO-ed? It's a cute way to spread Halloween spirit from house to house.
Hot Head..
I have a late reaction on things or events. It would take some time before everything will sink in to me. I don't know if it's good. But at least if he is angry, I will not clash on him since I don't react immediately. But on some point it is not good because I did not fight or speak up right away to clear things.
It is just me. I am not good in oral recitation. I am good in writing. That is why I am good in writing a message of my emotions and feelings towards him. I can't verbalize right away how I feel. But I should practice more in oral so that I can defend myself right away...
Jacket...
He he But it's okay. I learned my lessons well. I should ask one thing at a time.
I want a jacket and a bag all at the same time. Sadly, I didn't get what I wanted. Stupid move of mine. A friend of mine slapped me by his words that I am too expensive as a company. Gosh! He felt that way for me. Well, I'm not that expensive. I just want to feel his love and care for me. But I guess he didn't get it.
Anyways, I don't feel bad about the whole thing. I even feel good right now. I feel free! I'll have a jacket soon..
Holiday Shopping Tips
Before you head out to do your holiday shopping this year, make sure you keep your budget in mind. With the economy in a downward spiral, it’s probably a good idea to keep everything in check and to make sure that whatever you’re spending your money on, you’re spending it right. So first make a strict budget for yourself and keep reading to see the top 8 rules you need to follow for all your holiday shopping.
RULE 1: MAKE A LIST AND BUDGET IT
First, start making a list. Write down what you’re going to get every single person for Christmas and then put a price next do it. Do the same for other holiday expenses as well such as food, cards, stamps, etc. Everything should be included in your list.
RULE 2: DO YOUR RESEARCH
Do your research not only by looking through flyers, but online as well. There are tons of websites out there that help you get the best deals available such as Canada Offers and Mega Online Savings . There are also a slew of other sites out there so make sure you look everywhere you can to get the best price possible.
RULE 3: BRING A FRIEND
It’s always best to shop in a group because then you can have everyone split up and go to different places. Make sure everyone can contact one another so in case someone finds a better deal it just takes a ring! Also, you’ll cut down on your time a lot and you could actually learn some shopping tips from your friends as well.
RULE 4: DELEGATE
Decide who buys what for who. If you’re buying for friends for example, make sure you talk to one another and see what everyone else is getting too – you don’t want to end up with the same gift.
RULE 5: MEASURE YOURSELF
Before you go out and buy yourself an outfit for that Christmas party, be sure to measure yourself. Different brands come in different sizes and you won’t necessarily fit in the same size you usually take. So measure yourself first so you can void long lines at the fitting room and get some much deserved you-time.
RULE 6: PRICE MATCH AND FIND DISCOUNTS
Wherever you’ll be shopping this holiday season, make sure you get the best deals you can. At most stores, they’ll price match for you as well as make price adjustments. So make sure you always ask a store manager or a cashier for more info.
RULE 7: BEFRIEND THE STAFF
You couldn’t be better friends with anyone than with someone that works at your favorite store so don’t be afraid to make friends. Not only will they let you know of upcoming sales and discounts, but she’ll also be able to hold off on the new merchandise for you and who knows if you become good enough friends, she might even let you use her discount!
RULE 8: SHOP ONLINE
If you’re strapped for time, online shopping is a great idea. For most stores, they’ll have the same discounts as they have in store, while other stores will actually have bigger discounts online. So not only will you save yourself so time but some cash as well.
Top 10 Fashion Designers
Fashion styles come and go, but a good designer is forever even after death as their signature styles live on. Everything we wear has been designed specifically for us and has come from some of the most brilliant designers in the world. France, Italy, the United States, and many more have blessed us with some incredibly talented fashion designers and we would like to thank them for making fashion what it is today. So here are our top 10 favorite fashion designers of this year!
#1. Dolce & Gabbana
Modern, eclectic and contemporary, Dolce & Gabbana is the ultimate fashion house and they never seem to miss a beat. Here’s our favorite 2009/2010 D&G design.
#2. Marc Jacobs
This year, Marc Jacobs showcased the 80s when he introduced neon-hued, big shouldered styles which we fell in love with. Sure, not everyone can pull it off, but it’s still fun to look at!
#3. Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen is everyone’s favorite ‘enfant terrible’ in the fashion industry, but whenever we see a show of his, we’re pretty much left speechless.
#4. Givenchy
There is nothing classier than the Givenchy line and this year it showed with tons of thirties’ and forties’ styles with a modern twist. Just breathtaking!
#5. Prada
Can you say fashion reinvented? This year, the Prada fashion house stayed away from the 80s and swayed towards upholstery fabrics and forties styles.
#6. Belanciaga
It seems a lot of designers are going in the forties direction and Belanciaga is one of them. We just love their drapey styles!
#7. Gucci
Gucci’s been inspired by the glam rock style this year and we fell in love with it. Lots of thigh-high boots, leggings, leather jackets, the works!
#8. Chanel
Chanel’s been one of my favorite fashion houses for a long time and this year they went for a contemporary, toned-down look that might leave you feeling a little depressed, but very fashionable.
#9. Christian Dior
Dior is one of the most sought-after designers and this year, Galliano outdid himself when he went back to behind-the-scenes documentary photographs taken more than half a century ago as Monsieur Dior dressed his cabine of mannequins for shows.
#10. Jean Paul Gaultier
Gaultier ran off with an 80s idea turned into geometric-deco meets sci-fi which we know the celebs are just going to go crazy for. As are we!
Top 10 Ways to Hide a Tummy Bulge
There is nothing more annoying than trying on a million different clothes only to realize that the problem is not the clothes, but your bulging tummy. It can be hard to find things that hide your tummy but at the same time looks good too, so here are your top 10 ways to hiding a tummy pouch.
#1. A Banded Top
Banded tops are shirts that have a band at the hemline which is great for covering a tummy bulge.
#2. Wrap Dresses and Shirts
Wrap dresses and wrap shirts are excellent for hiding your tummy pouch. Choose them in colorful patterned styles since the eye will be drawn eye from the problem area.
#3. Shapewear
Shapewear is another great way to help hide your trouble spots, although they can be a little uncomfortable to wear at times. Stick to shapewear only when needed though!
#4. Get the Right Fit
Stick to your size and your body structure. Wearing something too small and too tight will only accentuate the problem and wearing something that is too large for you will only make it obvious that you’re trying to hide something. Instead, stick to a happy medium: your true size!
#6. Wear a Fitted Jacket
Don’t cover up in a big jacket…it will only make you look bigger! Instead, try a fitted jacket that enhances your silhouette and nips at the waist.
#7. Empire Waist Tops
Empire waist tops are great for hiding a tummy bulge since it nips right under the bust and hangs straight down all the way, hiding that unwanted roll of fat that you hate so much.
#8. Avoid Pants With Waist Detail
Put away your pants/jeans that have a lot of waist detail such as lots of pockets, bows, belts, etc, since this will only bring attention to the tummy area. Instead, stick to really plain and simple flat front pants with little or no detail at the waist.
#9. Select the Right Fabrics
Tight, stretchy fabrics will only accentuate your tummy. Instead, opt for more free-flowing fabrics such as cotton which will not cling to your body.
#10. Never Tuck Your Shirt In
I’m not sure if anyone still tucks their shirt in, but if you do – please stop now! Tucking your shirt in is a major no-no, especially if you’ve got something to hide! Let the shirt flow over the pants, which will elongate your torso and hide your tummy. If your shirt is too long (too big), then it’s just not a good fit for you!
My thoughts...
I get tired of a cycle. There's no growth. I should end my false hope and expectations. I have made an ultimatum and expiration date to end my foolishness..
Since I can't push him away, might as well just go with the flow. I don't have to exert any effort and plan anything to get rid of him. I will just let it be..
Homemade Hot Oil Hair Treatment..
Here’s What You’ll Need:
1/2 cup of dried rosemary leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
Here’s How to:
Combine oil and rosemary in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until warm all the way through. Remove from heat and strain, to remove leaves from oil. Coat scalp and ends of hair with hot oil, then wrap in saran wrap and cover with towel to retain heat. Leave on 15 minutes. Wash twice to remove excess oil.
This only takes a few minutes to do, it’s super cheap and it will leave your hair feeling soft, manageable and extremely shiny. I do this treatment about once a week to keep my hair healthy and shiny. Try it out, I promise you won’t regret it!

A sign...
I really want to have a vacation. To see another place. A change of environment. I don't know. Maybe if it is really meant to be then it will push through. For now, I am not confuse anymore. I know I will go if the time is right.
We'll see...
The End..
But I guess things happened for a reason. Now I have my reason to stop our communication and free myself from him. I think I feel sad right now. But I have to be strong. I'll get use to this. I'll get use of not having him in my life. Some things need to end even friendship.
I'll get over this. I'll get over him...
Hair Makeover!
Our hair is our crowning glory. Having a beautiful hair is a big plus for us girls. So we have to take good care of it. I just use conditioner everyday after shampooing to keep my hair soft and free of tangles. It works for me anyway.
My mom has a beautiful straight hair. I haven't inherited it. But it's okay, my hair is not that bad. It is still manageable. I just have to fix it every now and then.
Family Affair..
Their house is nice and beautiful. It's not really that big but it is cozy and modern. They have a beautiful landscape too. I wish to have my own family soon and a house of our own. To have a good husband who is a family man. Who dedicates his life for his family. I can see that my cousin and her husband are really good friends too and their love for each other is there. They really have a good team going. Supporting each other in every trials they are encountering. Making their marriage more stronger is their faith in God.
I attended mass this morning and I felt lonely again. I've seen families went to the mass together. And I long to have my own family also. To have a husband and children. sigh! I just just prayed to God that He will take away my loneliness.
It's time to rest now. Tomorrow is back to work. Nyt!
New Realizations..
1. My life should not revolve around him.
2. I should continue making steps in my life.
3. I have to continue to reach my dreams.
4. I should not stop my world and kept on thinking and depending on him to make my world whole.
5. Whatever the future holds for the two of us, only God knows. I should not think about it too much.
6. I should not expect too much from him.
7. I should love myself.
8. Pray harder!
Perfectly Polished Toes..
A lot of us don’t pay attention to our toes and feet, but it’s very important that we take good care of them, especially during the summer. Plus, there is nothing more relaxing than unwinding on a lazy day and giving yourself the ultimate pedicure.
Start off by filling up a little basin or even the tub. Add some bath salts and some essential oils such as rosemary which will soften your feet. Soak your feet for about 15 minutes.
Clean and clip your toenails. Get an emery file and file around the rough edges until you get a straight, smooth line. Use a cuticle remover to rub it in to your nail beds. If you decide to trim your cuticles, make sure that your tools are sterilized. If not, simply bush back your cuticles with a manicure stick and clip off any fly aways.
Use a pumice stone to slough away dead skin and soften up the soles of your feet. Pay special attention to the heels and balls of your feet. Massage a good foot exfoliant onto your feet, going all the way up to your calves. Rinse off, and apply a thick, generous amount of foot lotion over your feet.
Dry your feet well, and apply a neutral base coat to fortify and protect your nails. Apply two coats of nail polish and finish off with a clear top coat. Let try for a good 20 minutes.
3 New, Sexy Fragrances..
Seasons change and so do perfumes. Especially in the fall, we tend to see a lot of new fragrances hit the shelves, and I just love switching mine up every single season. Why? Well I like to keep a smell for one season, and a different one for another. I usually go for light florals in the summer, and dark, spicy ones in the fall and winter. Here are 3 sexy new fragrances that I would like to share with you since they’re all so bold but very intoxicating as well…what do you think?
1. Michael Kors – Very Hollywood
This fragrance is all about embracing Hollywood with notes of gardenia, black currant leaves, and mandarin. Just to let you know, the little hollow impressions on the bottle are supposed to be flashbulb impressions.
2. Marc Jacobs – Lola
I absolutely love the floral and playful scent of Marc Jacon’s Lola with a mix of pink peppercorn, ruby red grapefruit, and peony. Oh and let’s not forget, the bottle alone is worth the buy, it’s adorable!
3. P.S. I Love You
Well here’s a to-die-for fragrance that doesn’t leave your wallet completely empty. This is the ultimate romantic/flirty scent with notes of rose, golden amber, and White Riesling. Oh and by the way, you can get this delicious romantic fragrance at Bath & Body Works.
My New Xoxo Bag!
I am always a bag fanatic. I want to have as many as I can. I have only a few but all of them are special to me. I take care of them all.
I have a new crocs and now I have a new bag. I feel the world is so beautiful! Can't express in words how happy I am. Plus my love keeps on calling even if he is busy. I'm so thrilled! I really feel his love for me. I miss him too. sigh! He is coming soon. Yipeeeee! I want to shout to the whole world how happy I am right now! Yipeeeeeee! I'm not crazy, please bear with me. lol
Saturday fever..
After we went to the doctor, we went shopping. I bought my mom a havaianas. She's so happy. It's her first havaianas. I also bought myself a crocs! Yipee! It's my first crocs too. I really love it. I also bought a sandal, underwears, socks, beauty products. Wow! I am a shopaholic!
I went home very happy! I feel that the world is so wonderful! He he! It's time to start budgeting again..
This Is Real, This Is Me Lyrics - Camp Rock Cast
Demi L: Always been the kind of girl
that hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
what I've got to say
But I have this dream
right inside of me
I'm gon'na let it show
It's time
To let you know
To let you know
(Chorus)
This is Real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose
to be, now
let the light shine on me
If I found who I am
there's no way to hold it in
no more hiding who I wanna be
this is me
(Verse 2)
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
when you're the shining star
even though it seems
they get so far away
I've got to believe in myself
it's the only way
(Chorus)
This is Real, This me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose
to be now
let the light shine on me
If I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Joe J: You're the voice I hear inside
my head
the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I've got to find you
You're the missing piece I need
the song inside of me
I need to find you
Both: I've got to find you
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm
suppose to be now
Let the light shine on me
if I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
no more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
Demi L: This is Me
Joe J: You're the missing piece
inside on me
Demi L: This is me, yeah!
Joe J: You're the voice I hear
inside my head the reason
that I'm singing
Both: And I found who I am
There's no way to hold it
in
no more hiding who I wanna
be
this is me

New neighbors...
I am still saving money to buy a new lot to expand my farm. he he Playing farmville relaxes my mind. It gives me a different joy.
I am also playing Farm town but I like Farmville better. I haven't planted yet in my farm town. I think that it is more complicated than Farmville. I just like the graphics of Farmville more than Farmtown.
Anyways, someone told me that I play the two games so that while waiting for my plants to be fully grown ready for harvest, I have another farm that i can get busy with. =)
