Happy Halloween!

I've only been to 1 Halloween (1987), I was dressed up just wearing my praying outfit (a mukena and sarung) and went door to door for some treats. I was in my senior year but that didn't stop me from being a 5-year old.

Fast forward to the future, I still adore Halloween and the idea of going out in costume. I so understand the temptation of being someone else, dressing up as a monster or fairy and all that.

Happy Halloween. May you stuff yourself with all the sweetness life can offer!

No-clue FOTD

Sometimes I took a look at the mirror and said, "hmmm, smokin'", then took a picture or more to be posted in the blog, noting what I was using so (hopefully) I could replicate that later.

But more often than not, I forgot to take a mental picture and just snapped pictures. When I looked at the results days later I was like "darn it, wish I could remember what I put on and where".

Look at these two pictures. Aren't they super nice?




But just like I said, I absolutely had no idea what I had on.

Things I would Say to My Younger Self

I just read the post in www.makeupandbeautyblog.com and the topic got me thinking. What would I say knowing what I know now to my younger self if I could turn back the time?

1. Choose a subject that you absolutely love and stick to it, no matter what other people (your parents) tell you.
2. Don't let boyfriends stop you from reaching high.
3. Do things that make you happy first, then if those make other people happy, too, that's good. If not, well, you just can't make everybody happy.
4. Leave your credit card at home.
5. Apply and get a scholarship.
6. Really get in the habit of exercising and lift weights to improve the look of your hands. Believe me, the dangly bits attached to your underarm are staying forever if you don't.
7. OMG! You could gain 20 kilos when pregnant and those kilos don't shed off easily. Ease off on the sodas and the yummy-calorie packed goodies.
8. Married young! Oh I know, 28 was not that late; but really, kids take loads of energy. Work and kids are not an easy combo to manage.
9. Save save save.
