How to Determine Your Face Shape

Almost everything you read in a magazine or anywhere else, asks you to determine your face shape in order to determine which hair style looks good on you, which colors, etc. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out my face shape no matter how hard I tried! I wasn’t sure if it was oval or diamond shaped, so I decided to figure out exactly what each face shape entitled. So here is a little glossary on the different type of face shapes. Hope it helps!

Oval Face Shape

Curvilinear shape. Length is equal to one and a half times width, with forehead and jaw the same width. So think of the oval face shape as an egg.

Round face shape
Circular shaped. Length is approx equal to width.

Oblong face shape
Face is longer than it is wide with a long straight cheek line.

Square face shape
Strong and broad forehead with angular jaw.

Heart face shape
Wide at the forehead and cheekbones, narrow at the jawline.

Diamond face shape
Forehead and jawline are narrow with wide and high cheekbones.

Triangular face shape
Forehead and cheekbones are narrow with a wide jawline.

Us girls!

I had a great time last night. We had a house party. It was so much fun. It was also a sort of reunion. There were only the three of us. We are former office mates then they transferred to another company. We are really close. We connect.

We hardly spend time together as a group. But last night was a really memorable one. It strengthened our bond. We talked and laughed together. I love them truly. Next year, there would be an addition to our group since Vyl is going to give birth. We are pretty excited about it. =)

Happy Holidays everyone! =)

Jingle Bells lyrics

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Gift Giving...

Me and my new girl friends had an exchange gift today. I love the gifts that they gave me. It's so beautiful. I wear them immediately. he he We will have a Christmas vacation. I will surely miss them. But we will see each other soon after the break. I wish that they will have a Merry Christmas!

I am still looking for a gift for my new friend later. I would still for the one she likes. That would take a lot of effort for me. I hope that I could find it.

I will have my nail polished later also since our Christmas party will be tomorrow. I don't know if I'm excited about it. I am much more excited on the gifts that I received today. It's a happy day for me! =)

All I Want For Christmas Is You Lyrics - Mariah Carey

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

Bonding...

I'm excited today. My mom and me will meet after office hours. It's been awhile since we went out together. I always feel comfortable when I'm with my mom. We are going to go shopping later. he he I can't wait.

I could not understand myself whenever I say I will not do something I do the opposite. I just caught myself doing it. I guess it is just meant to be. I don't regret doing it anyway. No regrets. I need to swallow my pride sometimes even if I will be rejected. At least I've tried it.

The kids thoughts me to do just that. To swallow my pride. Just maybe by doing so, I would end up happy. I admire their courage. Even if they were rejected many times, they don't think they are less of a person. I think they are beautiful and brave. I just love them!

Happy Christmas!

I'm pretty excited this Christmas. I'm at peace with myself. I feel good, light, and happy! I forgive those people who have hurt me in one way or the other. I also ask forgiveness to God if I've hurt anyone intentionally or unintentionally.

I want to enjoy the company of my friends and family. I am enjoying now. I've been blessed abundantly and I thank God for all the blessings.

There's a lot of parties coming soon. I'm pretty excited about it. Merry Christmas everyone. This is the season to be jolly. =)

10 Secrets of Happy Women..

No one is as happy as a clam all day, every day. But experts say learning to find joy in little moments is the real trick to feeling content.

1. Spread your happy thoughts Let your daughter know how great it feels to spend the day shopping with her. Brag to your spouse about the unexpected compliment your boss paid you.

E-mail your best friend to tell her how fondly you remember the camping trip you took last year, and include a hilarious picture of your attempt to pitch a tent. Sharing happy memories and experiences with others—or even simply anticipating doing so—is one of the most powerful and effective ways to prolong and magnify joy, Bryant's research shows. "It helps sustain emotions that would otherwise fade," he says. Affirming connections with others, he adds, is "the glue that holds people together."

2. Build memories you can savor Take mental snapshots of memorable moments that you can draw on later.

Recall vivid, specific events, and pinpoint what brought you joy. Do you love your red wool scarf because it's chic and cozy, or because its smell reminds you of your childhood romps in the snow? Interjecting mystery into happy moments—reflecting on what's surprising or hard to understand about them, for example—can strengthen their power. Just be careful not to overanalyze and lose the wonder of the moment. What you want, says University of Virginia social psychologist Timothy D. Wilson, PhD, is to dissect your experiences just enough to appreciate how they've helped form you and then get back to simply living them.

3. Pat yourself on the back Take pride in a hard-won accomplishment—it’s not something that many people do.

If you spent a year sweating at the gym to reach a fitness goal, bask in your new jeans size—and share your success with others. Self-congratulation doesn't come easily to everyone. "A lot of people have trouble basking in an accomplishment because they feel that they shouldn't toot their own horns or rest on their laurels," Bryant says. It's a fine line between joyous self-congratulation and shameless self-promotion, but don't worry: You'll know if you're crossing it.

4. Fine tune your senses Here’s an easy trick to hone your tastebuds or follow your nose.

Close your eyes while you roll a square of dark chocolate over your tongue or fill your lungs with salty sea air or eavesdrop on your grandchildren's play and laughter. Shutting out some sensory stimuli while concentrating on others can heighten your enjoyment of positive experiences—particularly those that are short-lived.

5. Compare downward Comparing upward makes us feel deprived, but comparing downward can heighten enjoyment.

Think about how things could be worse—or how things used to be worse. Keep it light—you don't have to relive a scary health diagnosis or revel in a neighbor's job loss. Simply take note: Is today sunnier than the weather report predicted? Did you finish off that work project more quickly than you thought you would?

6. Get absorbed Some joyful moments seem to call for conscious reflection and dissection.

At other times, we savor best when we simply immerse ourselves in the present moment, without deliberate analysis or judgment. Listen to your favorite music with headphones in a dark room. Lose yourself in a novel you just can’t put down. Set aside enough time on the weekend for your favorite hobby so you can attain a level of absorption known as the "flow" state.

7. Fake it till you make it Putting on a happy face—even if you don't feel like it—actually induces greater happiness, says Bryant.

So be exuberant. Don't just eat the best peach of the season; luxuriate in every lip-smacking mouthful. Laugh out loud at a funny movie. Smile at yourself when you pass by a mirror. After all, he says, "a surefire way to kill joy is to suppress it."

8. Seize meaningful moments Some positive events come and go quickly—a surprise toast to your accomplishments at work, your daughter's sweet 16 party.

It seems obvious that the more quickly a positive experience evaporates, the more difficult it is to savor. Yet paradoxically, Bryant has found, reminding ourselves that time is fleeting and joy transitory prompts us to seize positive moments while they last.

9. Avoid glass-half-empty thinking The world has enough pessimists.

Short circuit negative thoughts that can only dampen enjoyment, such as self recriminations or worries about others' perceptions. When you find yourself awash in happiness, give it space to grow—don't ruminate about why you don't deserve this good thing, what could go wrong, how things could be better. Consciously make the decision to embrace joy.

10. Say thanks more often Cultivate an "attitude of gratitude," Bryant says.

Pinpoint what you're happy about—a party invitation from a new pal, a seat on a crowded subway—and acknowledge its source. It's not always necessary to outwardly express gratitude, Bryant notes, but saying "thank you" to a friend, a stranger, or the universe deepens our happiness by making us more aware of it.

Girl Talk...

It's really nice chatting with one of my best friends. I think we really have a lot in common. We laugh together and comfort each other when one of us is sad. I can always count on her on anything. We are like soul mates. She is my soul mate.

I am excited meeting my other girl friends tomorrow. It's been quite some time since we've seen each other. We are having a lunch date. I am looking forward to it. It will surely be a lot of fun.

I haven't told my mom on my new watch. I super love it. I like it so much. Although I'm broke but i don't regret buying it. Me and my mom had a nice talk last night. She really knows how to comfort me. I believe in her. Mother knows best.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nothing is more delicious than a warm, chewy chocolate chip cookie. Using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose makes this a contender for the best-tasting cookie ever!

Yield: 3 dozen cookies

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups Gold Medal whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Heat oven to 375 F.

Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips. Feeling a little nutty? Go ahead and add 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts with the chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.

Did You Know?
The word cookie comes from the Dutch word for cake, "koekje". The first cookies were actually tiny cakes baked as a test to make sure that the oven temperature was right for baking a larger cake.

When You Say Nothing At All (RONAN KEATING)

It's amazing

How you can speak

Right to my heart

Without saying a word,

You can light up the dark

Try as I mayI could never explain

What I hear whenYou don't say a thing

[CHORUS:]

The smile on your faceLets me know

That you need me

There's a truthIn your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says

You'll catch me

Whenever I fall

You say it best

When you sayNothing at all

All day long

I can hear people

Talking out loud

But when you hold me near

You drown out the crowd

(The crowd)

Try as they may

They could never define

What's been said

Between your

Heart and mine

[Repeat chorus twice]

(You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all

You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all)

The smile on your face

The truth in your eyes

The touch of your hand

Let's me know

That you need me

[Repeat chorus]

(You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all

You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all)

The smile on your face

The truth in your eyes

The touch of your hand

Let's me know

That you need me

(You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all

You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all)

New Hair...

I just had my hair relax. It's one of my comforts to go to the parlor and pamper my hair. I've been ironing it for quite some time and I felt that my hair needs to be done. Ironing everyday was not doing it any good. And it's a big hassle for my part.

I'm satisfied with the outcome of my hair. It was beautifully done. My friends appreciate it and it feels good. he he I just want to feel and look good. Our hair is our crowning glory, we have to take care of it. Besides, it's Christmas time. A lot of parties to attend to. It is better that I'm prepared for it. he he

I'm very loyal to my favorite parlor. I've been going there for so many years now and never switch. I like their atmosphere. They are very warm and accommodating. And besides that they offer good service which is very important to me. I love my hair! =)
