Last Day of 26

Published by Justine

I didn’t really want to start the entry on this note but I just need to say that I have been so tired the whole day yesterday. I slept at 4am the previous day to finish work, then woke up at 9 to start work, then off to my next job at 3, in between those, calls with my boyfriend for some good pep talk about how I can deal with life, then zumba/bellydancing class at night, a birthday dinner, then more work, then more boyfriend phone calls. By the end of the night (or start of the day), this resulted in me tweeting: TOO TIRED FOR LIFE! How does one juggle multiple jobs, a social life, a love life and an active lifestyle? I bow down to you. — Justine (@juiceee) May 19, 2015 Obviously these are all happy “tireds” because how can I not be thankful that I’m living this life? I needed to write this entry to be reminded and be grateful for everything I have. There are things that are obviously …

Friday’s 10 Happy Things, v1

Published by Justine

I feel like the only way I can quickly express my feelings through blogging is by making lists. It’s been a recurring theme ever since the year started. I think I prefer to do it otherwise I start to ramble and so many words start spewing out of my mind and I become incoherent. Decided to participate in Helga‘s Friday’s 10 Happy Things because well, life has been pretty awesome lately. Even if it isn’t, it’s always good practice looking back on things that make you happy even though life shits bricks at times. Here goes my list! 1. Last weekend’s Singapore trip. This can stem into a lot of sub-happiness plots.. and will be a recurring theme in this list. It was short, but all worth it. 2. #JKTinvadesSG. After last year’s memorable Cebu trip (#JKTinvadesCebu), we made sure we would try our best to see each other at last once a year. Thank goodness we live around Southeast Asia so traveling to reunite makes it a little easier than most friendships that are …

Things I Love Thursday, #6

Published by Justine

I really want to do this post regularly but I seem to be drawn to Sunday Currently posts more. Anyhoo, I got such a perfect opportunity because it’s a nice Thursday to think about what I’ve been enjoying recently. 1. The Way Way Back I watched this movie last Sunday night and really enjoyed it. It somewhat made me realize that I am mostly drawn to coming-of-age themes in movies. Not necessarily YA, but topics like finding yourself and realizing who you are and what you want to be, regardless of someone young or someone old. 2. Clue app Clue is what I use for tracking my period. Even better, it reminds me to take my pills on time. It’s so efficient because it’s quite accurate and allows me to enter different moods as well. A 16yo girl’s post on Tumblr pretty much summarizes the points of why Clue is so awesome. This app has really helped me not miss taking my pills, which in turn, is helping me finally regulating my period even after …

The Beauty Scenario Tag

Published by Justine

I got this post from Carina and I was kind of curious at how I would answer them myself. I’m filling the answers as I go along with pasting the questions so this should be interesting.. 1. You have to get rid of all of your foundations and only keep one high-end and one drugstore; which do you keep? First of all, I don’t really use foundation (gasp). I feel like I don’t really need it because of the weather in this country so I’m more of a tinted moisturizer, moisturizer, bb cream, powder kinda girl. Although if I switched this to base, I’d say I would definitely keep my Ben Nye Buff and theBalm Tinted Moisturizer. I love those two. 2. You go for an interview, and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely? IGNORE IT COMPLETELY! I will stick to whatever she’s talking about and only drive the conversation from there. I don’t have to go out of my way to tell her …

The Sunday Currently, v7

Published by Justine

I feel like I only ever get to properly blog on Sundays because I’m such a busy mess on weekdays. I might as well start calling this blog Otherworldly Sundays or something, lol. But anyway.. here it is! FEELING A bit better than last Sunday, that’s for sure. I was hospitalized last Monday morning because of my tonsillitis and it turned out I had this thing called Acute Tonsillopharyngitis which is apparently worse because it’s a combination of the two. Right now I’m still experiencing dry cough so it’s a constant battle with my throat still, although it wasn’t as much of a struggle as last week. What a crazy week it was. LISTENING I’ve totally fallen out of love and touch with K-pop now, but I still try my best to keep up with the legends and my favorites (aka the ones that got me into it a good 5 years ago). Girls’ Generation always manages to come out with something that shakes up the K-pop world and despite the mixed reviews of enthusiasts …
