MWAH! #2

Happy weekend! It's a gloomy day today. The sun barely peeked through and the rain pitter-pattered. But no amount of bad weather stopped my daughter and I from looking forward to spending girl time! We watched Breaking Dawn Part 2, just the two of us, and it was awesome!

excited during Burger King breakfast - a few minutes away from epic conclusion of the Twilight Saga!

If you still don't know, on weekends I choose to tackle topics besides "serious makeup/beauty talk" and just share what I love. I call these posts MWAH - Making Weekends Absolutely Heartwarming.

Onto the movie - we loved it a lot! It would've been perfect if it weren't for all the graphic display of affection but other than that it was cool! This story may be flawed but Edward doesn't fail to mesmerize me as Jacob does for my daughter haha. I'd like to mention specifics but just in case you haven't seen it, I don't want to spoil it for you. *wink*

Speaking of spoilers, there's one that I can't get over it - Dakota Fanning's makeup!

I mean seriously, who did her eye makeup?! There is no symmetry and finesse in it. It was like the professional MUA called in sick. I wonder why they didn't bother to correct that? *sigh* It's a thousand miles apart from her awesome look in New Moon:

Right??? She looked so hot here! Anyway, good thing the reason why I watch this movie is 1) I love the Twilight book series and 2) I love Robert Pattinson. *big grin*

More than the movie itself, I totally enjoyed watching it with my daughter. Even though she's on Team Jacob (I tease her he's a pedo because he imprinted on a newborn haha!) and I'm obviously on Team Edward (well, more like Team Rob really lol), we agree that we are Twihards hehe. It was great to do something we both like and enjoy together since we usually can be so different from one another. She isn't crazy one bit about makeup or hair like me - unless you count her obsession with liquid felt-tip eyeliner for drawing stuff on her palm or hands haha. I was so touched because she took to heart my company that she didn't even put on her earphones while we're on the bus en route to the movie house. We just chatted until we reached the mall. May be small stuff for some but totally big time for yours truly. And before the movie started, I asked her if she loves these bonding moments with me alone and she said yes. I told her I love her and she replied back that she cannot answer me the same thing but that I know she does. Hahaha, teens these days. As now that she's twelve years old and would either spend time with her friends or do her own thing (play video games, read books in her room, fiddle with her phone), I'm thankful for days like this because she still likes to do bonding activities with me and probably still secretly enjoys she's my only and beloved little princess. *dreamy grin*

How's your weekend? Having a blast with people that matter to you? What movie have you seen lately and with whom?

Enjoy your rest. Tell your loved ones you love them today and put a smile not only on their faces, but on their hearts.

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
