Paul Potts in Manila

One of the people who helped us prepare our wedding recommended Nessun Dorma as a final song. He wanted us to listen to the song and played this YouTube video. My husband and I loved it so much that we did use it for our wedding. I ended up loving the singer as well. Then I learned a few weeks ago Paul Potts will be coming here in Manila! I told mommy to use her connections and get us some tickets!

For those not in the know, Paul Potts was the winner of Britain's Got Talent a couple of years ago.

I hope it pushes thru. I'm excited to see him perform the rest of his repertiore.

Do Not Disturb

It's the long weekend and I can finally start reading the first of Stephenie Meyer's vampire novels, Twilight. Yuck! So, behind already! Everybody else are on the third or fourth book and here I am, just about to start with the series.

My officemate says this is the best of the four books. It won't get any better than this. Still, were compelled to read all the books right?!

My reading can only be interrupted by my OB-Gyne check up, Ateneo basketball game and food.

TWILIGHT: 11.21.08

It's the new "Harry Potter"... but maybe for a little bit older crowd and this time, there's only four books... so far. Who hasn't heard about this Stephenie Meyer series?! Actually, I'm a bit late reading the first installment, Twilight. And I'm still in denial buying my own, I'm borrowing my officemate's copy.

The release date of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince was moved to June next year to be Warner's summer blockbuster flick... so they moved up Twilight in its place. Can't wait!

Just to whet your appetite, here's the trailer. Oh, trailer says 12.12.08 but it's actually 11.21.08. You can check the site too.

Boys can be fashionistas too...

I refuse to believe that I can't turn my little boy into a fashionista too. We just found out we are having a baby boy. Of course I was happy either way but would've been a blast to dress up a baby girl. But being the kikay mom that I am, I know I can still dress up my little boy.

I'll start with sneakers first. His daddy is such an Adidas fan. Would be cute for them to dress alike. Hahaha! I'm wanting these...

Nike ain't so bad too...

... Maybe Pumas too!


So cute! I wish babies didn't grow up so fast...

Baby M.A.C.

I've always associated MAC with my mom. She sources most of her MAC straight from Canada where it's cheaper and the hard-to-find shades here in Phil are more available. Which means... if my mommy buys it, it must be expensive. Well, not for all products. I was pleasantly surprised that their face powder/foundation was affordable enough for me. I'm very attached to my powder and waited till there's none left before I bought a new one. I'm also picky about the shade. I'm not one to hide my morena skin. I relish it actually. Hence, I don't like looking pasty-white on my face while my neck and the rest of me is actually darker.

My brands compose of Revlon, L'Oreal and Maybelline which fits in my budget. I'm happy I decided to try the MAC Studio Fix (my shade is NC42)! For P1,500... not bad!


My friend, MN, who works for CAS (Center for Aesthetic Studies) swears MAC is one of the best. During one of our get togethers, she ended up putting make up on all of us. We raided my mom's MAC loot and she played with colors I wouldn't try myself. Now I'm wanting some more MAC (I stole some from my mom already... ooops)...

maybe some Shadesticks... for quick eyeshadow application

Solar Field Bronzing Powder because I love the sun kissed look

and Viva Glam lipsticks

I need to update my make up kit... me want something like this... the one on the left is MN's and the one on the right is my mom's. The little bag there is mine. Poor me...
