Real Life Sundays, ed. 23

Yeah, generally life is.  But I will come clean and admit this:

I was so bored of myself yesterday!

After watching 4 hours of boxing on $60 pay per view, topped with the dismal ending of Pacquiao running into Marquez's fist and getting knocked out cold, I finally felt super bored!  So bored, that the only way to escape it was... 

No, not to do something productive...

But to sleep it off, hoping that by the time I woke up, I'd be less bored.

After a couple of hours of "napping," I woke up...  still feeling...  bored.  I then invited my little sister to grab some yummy cupcakes with me but she just wanted to stay home...  Geezzz...  So, I ended up sleeping early to end my boring day.

Here's the 60 bucks Pacquiao made us regret spending...  hehehe!
Hey Mr. Manny, if you are reading this, know that I still love you!

♥♥♥

On the bright side, I was thankful of being bored, since it only happens sometimes.  It meant that I was finally not hip-deep in work and not feeling overwhelmed. ^^

Anyway, I had a wonderful Saturday!  I had an amazing dinner with a couple of wonderful friends, whom I feel super-duper blessed to have ^____^  *Sighs*  everyone needs a kindred spirit~~  someone to share your interests, beliefs, and love of food :9

Some people- not the viewers of this blog, thank you very much- like to complain about food posts, saying that they are lame and stuff.  I think those people are being just plain silly.  With food so good lookin', who wouldn't want to see?  So, yep!  I am not even slightly apologetic for any of my food pictures.  :P

♥♥♥

Lastly, today!  I had a good time teaching the kiddies.  They make me laugh and smile a lot (inside), although, I do like to act strict and constipated around them.  But they are cool with me and I am cool with them so life is good.  Real good.

Hehehe!

Our classroom door with all them snowflakes

Yes! We have a fireplace to hang our stockings on!  ^_^

It's the adults who are kooky.  For example, I went to DFS today to buy a purse for my darling little sis.  The ladies at the stall did not take the initiative to help me out until I asked them.  When I finally asked for the price, one of them told me, "There's the sale section at the back."  "Ok... lady," I thought.  And throughout the experience, she kept on pointing out to me that there were cheaper stuff in the store.  At the end of my purchase, she said, "This is one of the higher end ones."

Ok.....?  (-_______-)

If she was so gang-ho about making me purchase the cheaper ones and saving me $$, why did she not give me discount when I asked for it?  I guess I looked such like a commoner?  I wonder what gave me away...  Hmmm...  Was it my non-brand bag?  Or was it my shoes that looked like they've been chewed by a dinosaur?  Oh well, maybe I'll never know.  All I know is I bought what I wanted and it was "one of the higher end ones."

But I end this post in a positive note!  My sister and I went to minister with our church's young adult group.  We handed out chips, water, and Bibles to college students who were studying for their finals.  They were so kind and gracious.  Bless their sweet hearts♡♡  ^___^

That's it, everyone!  Good night!

It's a *Sigh* Kind of Night

Who is short, overworked, tired, but still quite cute?

ME!

"Cute?  How bold!"  Might as well admit it rather than playing that ol' modesty game...  I've played it long enough and I think it isn't doing anyone justice if I kept denying it!  Just look at this:

Money face!  I make Abe look good!

XD

Hahahahahaha!

*laughs by herself*

*crick, crick*

*Sigh...*  I think I'm so funny sometimes...

So, I'm just blogging tonight to inform everyone that I am alive and well!  I've been super tired this past week.  

*Sigh*  

Imagine yourself in a room repeatedly enunciating eh-heh-heh-heh-very sound in the word "cat" to 6th graders who should have known this already since they were 1st grade, but don't, because they came from a place that did not mandate formal education from their citizens.  What do you get?  A plumb-tuckered out teacher...  A plumb-tuckered out ME!  T-T

But I really do enjoy my job!  I love the kids and my interactions with them.  But yes!  I have my moments.  We have our moments!  I think all teachers do.  Hence, the lesson for today is, "Be nice to your teachers; you don't know what they go through."  And good teachers would also empathize with what their students go through.

♥♥♥

I need a release!  

So, I will blab about random things about my day- just let it gush out like a waterfall!  

My sister and I went to Macy's after work and simply had the most wonderful shopping experience.  I really like talking to salespeople, and the particular person who helped us out today was extremely delightful!  We were joking and laughing together, you'd think we've long been best friends!  I think good salespeople have such noble jobs.  It takes guts to talk to hundreds of strangers a day without making them feel squeamish, and there really is an art in human interaction.  Not everyone is cut out to be in sales, that's a fact.  So, I think I love her a lot already and will buy from her when I gets me some moolah!  ^-^

♥♥♥

Next, I will show you pretty photos from Mama's garden.  Yay!

I love where I live.  ^____^  I love that my Ma loves flowers and tries her best to grow them.  She has a green-thumb, for reals!  So, I don't think the plants make her put out so much effort.  They gladly bloom for her, I think ^___^

♥♥♥

Lastly, may he serenade you to sleep.  I love Landon Pigg's voice, kind of reminds me of Garfunkel's.

*Sigh*

What is up with me and coffee shops?

*Daydreams*

You think you know why?  Well, snap out of it! :D

Real Life Sunday, ed. 12

Ok, you got to get yourselves ready because I'm about to flood you with food photos!  (Well, 3 photos- not really a flood... Heh!) :D  Let's hope you already ate so you don't end up licking your screen.

18 side dishes, I tell ya!  18!  O.o

You must see the view!

We got our burgers on.  My favorite is the Umami burger with its "sauce is
boss" (top right).

My partner in crime and I dared to go sans-make-up.  

The following are miscellaneous things:

Received my package in the mail.  Shoppingholics got one of my orders
wrong...  Received Brown EOS Adult Brown, rather than Grey.  I'm not
going to throw a hissyfit about it, especially since they treat me so well and
I pretty much love them to pieces.

Ominous, yet so beautiful, storm clouds rapidly coming in the horizon.  Gotta
love Guam's vast skies.  Thank You, God, I live here!

Red lips make girls feel so pretty.

Sguard Rock On Mascara Japan~Black

GREETINGS!

Yes, I am still alive and kickin'.  I haven't been blogging for a while because it's been crazy busy with my personal life- having to do more chores and attending to a bunch of things such as correcting a silly mistake on my taxes.  Hahaha!  Crazy story behind that!

So, yes!  My absence has been as painful to me as it has been to you.  XP  (ahem! just kidding!) 

While I was gone, I've also been prepping to review items.  I've finally received my package from Shoppingholics last week, and the company has been so sweet and generous with their freebies.  It's been a great shopping experience.  If you don't already know them, please check 'em out!  (Click on the sidebar.)  They ship internationally, too. ^^♥♥♥

Review time!

Sguard Rock On Mascara Japan~Black

This mascara was developed by Japanese fashion model Aya Hoshi, keeping in focus formula adhesion and the brush.  

Its PROMISE: "The strong adhesion helps your eyelashes look glamorous, rich volume, natural, and long lasting; the effect is just like wearing fake eyelashes! ...Curling, lengthening, long-lasting, and extra volume! You can find them all in one!"1 

Ease of Removal: 5/5  Easy to remove with warm water or make-up remover; it won't tug on your eyelids.

Lengthening: 5/5  To the skies, baby!  :D 

Volume: 3/5  UPDATE It does add volume, making your lashes appear fuller but still not significantly.

Staying Power: 5/5  It's long-lasting, alright!  Just as promised.

Waterproof: 5/5  Cried and no panda-eyes ☂

Brush: 5/5   Separates lashes- preventing clumps, reaches tight corners.

Other concerns:  Build-ability of the formula needs time and patience but when you're able to achieve it the results are pretty good; pricey for such a small amount ($19.50 for less than 5 mL).  I like it, but at that price for that amount, I hope to find a more reasonable deal.

  

Notice the fibers.

Makes my sparse lashes long, but not rich and full.

With G&G Shinny Aqua (also known as Puffy 3 Tone
Aqua).

With my Geo Mimi Cafe in Macchiato Brown

UPDATE:

Learning from another blogger, you can use the longer bristles for length and the shorter bristles for volume by applying side-to-side.  In this manner, you can have BOTH length and volume! ^_^

Things of Yesterday

Yesterday was a good day and I spent it with the fam-bam!  Awesome!

But I didn't want to spend $$, though!  T___T  But there was this cute sweater in the window, and, and, and... I felt because I bought my coworker's baby a pretty little dress, I should buy myself one, too!

Just keedeeng!  ^o^  I didn't feel that way, but I thought the sweater and the dress were too cute to pass up.  So, here they are :)

ごめん for the bleeding red color >.<

Uber cute detail!  This is why~ T^T  I shall
call this my "Scrapbook Sweater" :p

Becoming more fond of those Geo Mimi Cafe's

OOTD on Saturday:
Ah... dress and boots~  In the tropics!♡

Cheeeezu! ✌

 I eventually wore the new dress and sweater combo for church on Sunday with my camel-colored boots.  >.< Boots are my super likes!  -___- meh...  I'm not this materialistic, really...
