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 …

What’s Been Up

1. Days Off Thanks to the Holy Week and unexpired vacation leave credits, I was rewarded with a few days off work the past week. I got to do a couple of things, like finally watching Cinderella in the cinema, catching up on crazy sleep, going home to the province and beaching it up, and giving worthy people my quality time. The best part is, I have another 2 days off the upcoming week because I am determined that April is going to be an awesome month. Having said that.. 2. Throat Business I am having the worst throat inflammation right now, it’s not even funny. It’s been a while since I’ve had this and I hate remembering how much it feels like shit. Of course, I make the mistake of drinking things I’m not supposed to like that sparkling wine I had at a dinner party earlier tonight and screaming my head off because we had such a fun game night of category BINGO. Our team won, if you were interested in knowing. 3. …

The Sunday Currently, v6

Published by Justine

I am actually cheating because it’s hardly Sunday anymore.. but I made the big mistake of sleeping at 6pm as soon as I got home from a children’s party and woke up just a little bit before midnight. It would be an ideal scenario if I didn’t have work on a Monday morning but here I am, typing away. I’m gonna try a different approach to this entry and make it a bit more comprehensive than usual, and only answering the ones that make the most sense and are the most applicable given the current situation. READING Tasks on my project management tool and work emails to prepare for later. I never thought I’d become one of those people who would be so addicted to work but look at me. I guess it also helps that you actually like what you do, so you don’t really mind at the end of the day. Maybe I should remove my work email from my phone so I stop checking shit all the time. Seriously. WRITING To-dos and …

Let’s Get It On, 2015

Published by Justine

It’s already the start of February and I have yet to lay out my goals for 2015. I was reading this tweet that said January lasted for a good 3 minutes and somehow I agree! There are days that seem so long but the next thing you know it’s the end of the month, or worse.. the end of the year. 41. What do you want the overarching theme for your 2015 to be? Finance discipline. Money management. Money matters. Right now it’s not going as well as I hoped, but I guess I won’t beat myself too much over it because I did just sign up for two investment plans so it’s not entirely a failure on my part. Just can’t help those impulses, you know? Especially when you see pretty and shiny things even though they are a product of looking into a computer/tablet/phone for far too long. I am the ultimate consumer. 42. What do you want to see, discover, explore? More of the Philippines. I know I said this last year, …
