Day 11 – Use the ellipsis in a photo

Published by Justine

I’m not really sure what the significance is to use the ellipsis in a photo but I’m guessing it’s to create awareness because this is a blog challenge that I took off the internet. I took this photo from my friend’s Sunrise Party last week and instead of focusing of the developed part of Cebu, I went and took a photo of the vast green land and nature. I’m pretty fortunate to come from a city that’s not too crazy, and views like this are just 30 minutes away. In other news, I’ve been doing so bad with this blog challenge! Such a contrast to last year where I completed it in less than 2 months! My goal is to definitely get this done BEFORE the end of the year. Can you believe the year is almost ending? Graaaah. I feel like the year just started yesterday. Nuts, I tell you.

Friday’s 10 Happy Things, v10

Published by Justine

Happy 10th to this blog series! I’ve really gone to love this blog series as it allows me to look back on positive stuff that has happened during my week. It’s therapeutic in a sense! Bumping into the Pastillas boys. Last Saturday night, we (my mom & sister) had dinner at Mizu, the Japanese restaurant over at Waterfront Hotel. We didn’t really want to head home after dinner so we decided to just chill at the lobby cafe; get dessert, have tea and just lounge. This is something we’ve always loved to do as a family even when we were back in Jakarta, so it was a nice night. There was an event in one of the ballrooms and apparently the boys who joined that Pastillas segment in Showtime were a few of the guests. If something is to be known about me, it’s that I followed that twitterserye and ate it up like a true Filipino fangirl. My mom took photos of me together with the chosen one, Richard, and the Australian guy, Michael. …

The Sunday Currently, v16

Published by Justine

Can you believe it’s already almost halfway through November? Time sure is running on the fast lane. FEELING Sleepy! I stayed up last night catching up on Jimmy Fallon interviews then watched Trainwreck after. I didn’t know the movie was 2 hours long (I loved it!) and when I was done it was almost 5am this morning. Eeeeek. Had to wake up pretty early for church and brunch so now I’m trying not to fall asleep so I don’t end up missing the whole of Sunday night. WATCHING Justin Timberlake’s performance of Drink You Away during last week’s CMAs with Chris Stapleton. This song is from JT’s 20/20 album and also one of my buried favorites. I’m not familiar with Chris Stapleton because of my lack of country music knowledge but I am love-love-loving this performance. It must have been so great to be a part of the audience that watched this live. I love the whole soul x country marriage of talent! Here’s another performance of Stapleton’s song this time, Tennessee Whiskey, which is …

Day 10 – Something yellow

Published by Justine

Pardon me, it’s been a month since I last participated in my blog challenge. 2015 is about to end and I can’t let it pass by without completing this! Snapped a photo of this cute rubber ducky while I was soaking in The Henry Hotel’s bathtub when I had that staycation with my friends a few weeks ago. I wouldn’t mind another staycation again.

Things I Love Thursday, #7

Published by Justine

I am resurrecting this blog series from its 7 month hiatus! So many things have happened since I wrote the last TILT. There were more things I loved and have probably forgotten, but in an attempt to enumerate all the things/experiences I recently loved, here’s one resurrection entry. MAC Eyebrow Crayon in Delineated This self-sharpening crayon is a brow product I’ve come to love so much. According to MAC: Self-propelling, self-sharpening, brow-defining. Confidently adds what you need: shape, colour and/or density in one streamlined tool. Like a pen, creates its own just-right point for striking arches. Easy to tote around – no sharpener needed. I’m a bit scared because I’ve only had it for about 2 weeks and I can feel like I’m using it up already. I’ve always been against pencils and pens in general when it comes to brows because I’m so used to gels and powders, but this has made me a convert and I will continue to repurchase this as long as I have the money to buy brow products. 4Fingers …
