mommy-daughter day

so basically, this is what happened to my today..


10:30ish I was up already (I slept 5am) thinking that I can oversleep for the day since it was my day off to work but then, mommy duties. Archie got home from his graveyard shift that makes him not that included on this blog I am making because all he did was to sleep (I understand, he's up all night till 10am)


So the day goes like this: Woke up. Check on Ashley. I log on to my twitter account and tweet. Give Ashley a bath. We had lunch. I put her to her afternoon sleep. She woke up and we watched Playhouse Disney channel. She drank her milk - half of it. Then we she tried out her new mini inflatable pool.

        

Cute, right? :-) Then after that she went to sleep again. Then by the time she's up again, we watched the usual. Fed her, again. Brought her Ninong Mari to his training then played again. Give her a bath and put her to her PJ's. So that's it.. My mommy duties it is. I am missing her everyday. I am always tired and busy at work. So I really make the most of those times like this. ♥

How I want my hair to be like

Seeing this photo inspires me not to cut my hair. Of course, not the exact same hair but I wanted my hair nothing but long.
Other than her hair, her olive skin, top and her skinny figure made me blog

As for some of people who have no idea that I have this THING for long wavy messy hair.
Here's the reason why: they don't look boring to stare at, it's sexy and it's lively.

Not so straight, not so curly. Just a nice blower-finished like hair.

Oh, Blake Lively - how could I ever not include you on my list.
and if it is going to be a kinda neat wavy and curly hair, I definitely like these hairstyles.

I love her layers. 

And not because I want a wavy hair doesn't mean I never want the straight hair - it was actually my first love. :-)

Although it's too dry, I love Taylor Swift's Barbie-like hair in this photo.

AND THIS IS MY MESSED UP WAVY HAIR

STRAIGHT

AND WHEN IT'S CURLY

Yes, you'll never see me wearing short hair. ;) I will be forever in love with long hair and big hair.

Oh no! I didn't say big like this. 

Peace!

The way I see it

The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you that you are not good enough.


On occasion, some may be correct.


But do not do their work for them.


Seek any job, ask anyone out, pursue any goal.


Don't take it personally when they say "no" - they may be not smart enough to say "yes".

10 Essential Makeup MUST HAVES ♥

It's 1:28am and I am still up.

This is the reason why..

1. MAC Mineralize SantinFinish Foundation

Are you warm? Cool? Olive? Give up? (We don't have a clue, either.) The best way to find your perfect match is to leave it to the professionals. Stop by any cosmetics counter and ask for help finding your shade. If you're fending for yourself, swipe a few colors vertically across your jawline, and whichever one is barely visible is your best bet.

Tip: After cleansing and moisturizing your face, apply foundation with...your fingers! It's quicker and easier than using a sponge or brush. Simply dab the foundation onto the areas that need it most (ruddy cheeks, dark circles, uneven spots) and blend gently.

2. Rimmel Recover Anti-Fatigue Concealer ( I freaking need this!)

Concealer is the only way to get rid of dark circles. And while it may just be a temporary fix, with the right technique you can hide them completely.

Tip: Apply a non-creasy eye cream, then use your ring finger to gently dab concealer onto dark areas. Allow it a minute to be absorbed, then carefully blend the edges into skin. The key is light pressure -- if you rub too hard, you'll actually rub the product off.

3. Trish McEvoy Blush

The right shade will make you look like you're blushing, not like you're wearing blush. For a natural look, start with lighter shades, and skip any with shimmer.

Tip: Use a blush brush to swipe a small amount of color across the apples of your cheeks (the round section that sticks out when you smile). If you can see clearly where the blush begins or ends, you've used too much or the color is too dark.

4. Sephora Go Curler

Most eyelashes grow outward, not upward, so applying mascara without curling your lashes won't provide the same impact.

Tip: Never curl lashes after you apply mascara -- they can stick to the tool and end up getting yanked out. Use a plastic curler like Sephora's Go Curler (which can help you avoid the "bent" look that metal curlers give). Place it as close to the base as you can without catching your eyelid, press for a few seconds, then gently press a few more times along the middle of lashes if necessary.

5. Clinique Long Pretty Lashes Mascara

Mascara thickens as it's exposed to air over time, which leads to clumps. If yours is goopy, toss it! Or try a different brand.

Tip: Curl lashes first, then press the mascara wand against your lashes, steering clear of lids. As you move the wand up toward the lash tips, gently wiggle it back and forth in a zigzag motion, which helps ensure you hit every lash.

6. Lancome Le Crayon Khol Eyeliner

Eyes are sensitive, and probably don't take kindly to us slathering them with makeup -- especially on the sensitive rims and inner lash lines. Always use a soft pencil that glides on without any pressure or tugging, and be sure the product is labeled as ophthomalogist-tested.

Tip: When lining your upper lash line, press a finger gently against your brow bone to pull up the lid slightly. This makes the skin slightly taught and helps you get closer to the lashes. Use your other hand to "dot" the liner across the tops of lashes.

7. NARS Multiple Highlighter in Maldives

(I want one badly!!!) Read why..

A slightly shimmery cream highlighter has many uses -- from lifting your brows to slimming your nose to sculpting your cheeks. Choose a soft nude, peach, or pink for the most versatility.

Tip: To visually slim your nose, use your pinky to trace a thin line of highlighter down the length of the bone, then blend. To make cheekbones pop, gently blend highlighter across the tops of your cheeks, right above your blush.

8. Bobbi Brown Nude Lipstick

Some look too brown, and others too pink. Is it futile to try and find that one nude shade that just makes a bare face pop? Not at the Bobbi Brown counter. The makeup artist known for the natural look also specializes in natural-looking lipstick (go figure). Trust us -- she has the perfect nude for everyone.

Tip: Chapped lips should be taken care of before you even think of applying lipstick. For a cheap fix, try Nivea's Kiss of Relief SOS Lip Balm. Wear a thick layer to bed and wake up to softer lips in the morning.

9. Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Mosaic Eye Shadows

Some eyeshadows barely show up; others make us look like we're headed to a Motley Crue concert. The perfect everyday shadow is just a few shades darker than your skin tone -- think a soft plum or light brown for darker skin, a taupey-gray or golden beige for medium skin, or light apricot for fair skin.

Tip: Use a soft eyeshadow brush to sweep shadow across lids, blending into and just above creases. Make sure to use light, feathery strokes so that there are no hard lines.

10. Sephora Makeup Brush Set

With the right brush for the job, you can perform makeup miracles. (You don't see professional makeup artists using the tiny sponge applicators that come with the products!) Invest in a good brush set--Sephora makes great options in all price ranges.

Tip: Remember to clean brushes every so often to keep bacteria at bay and makeup colors fresh. You can buy brush cleaners at department and cosmetic stores, or dilute a gentle soap or baby shampoo in warm water and soak brushes in that.

2010 Summary

First Out of Town for the year 2010

PAGUDPUD (january 2010)

This trip was my first long-drive trip ever. 10 hours going to Pagudpud and another 13 hours going home. The weather was cold and misty. We arrived Kapuluan Resort at 3am so the place seem to be scary and dark. But hey, we got discount from the resort. Lol. Sand was fine and white :-) Just like bora. passed by Vigan before going home. Had an foursome awesome experience with them!!! 

Drinking by the the beach side. The weather was pretty cold. So as you can see we were on our jackets/long sleeves.

Just so better when we're together. 

Making kulits around Pagudpud and Vigan.

First Glance to Baby Ashley 

Just for you guys to know, I happened to be 3 mos pregnant during our Pagudpod trip and I felt so lucky about it cos of my very normal and unpreggy feeling. No morning sickness and never craved for anything weird. Just always hungry! :-) Haha. Day after we got back from Pagudpud, I had my P.T done. I'm pregnant. Here are some of the first picture of my ultrasound. ;-)

 3mos old. our first time to see her inside my tummy :-)

 had my test after we got back from Pagudpud

isn't it so cute and amazing to know that there is a life inside you?

how important is the Interpersonal skills at work.

Have you ever felt so bad mad about something that you just had to take a day off of to your work so you can just breathe some air, have some space and think why you've been caught up lately?

Lemme share to you what had happened to me today, but first I'll tell you a little idea of yesterday. Yesterday, my life was already at the rock bottom, where I don't care what will happen, I don't want to talk to anyone about anything. All I wanted to do was to have this very day alone to myself which I think is very much of a NEED rather than WANT. Of course, it is very unprofessional to leave your work without informing the management, right? But it just so happen that, honestly, I run out of way to inform the management earlier than my said duty for that day, hence, I was AWOL, though I informed my manager late afternoon. 

So here is today, I reported to work 30 minutes before my duty, feeling trying to be okay. Of course, I can't get away with my AWOL issue. I knew deep inside that I have to write an IR (Incident Report) explaining my Absence yesterday. I was sitting down fixing and preparing myself in our crew room just beside the office. My manager walked by going to her office and say.. (I'll quote it if you mind, do you?) "Jam, paki sagutan yung IVR mo ah". And I walk in the office and ask what she just said again although I've heard and understand it already. And so I walked out of the office and got my time card. I honestly don't want her to be one to sign my tome card yet I can't find our OIC. Hence, I went to her and let her sign mine. Of course, I am mad at her..I just walk in and walk out straight. What happened was so fast I couldn't remember. All I can remember was she was asking if I am mad. Then, I said no, she was trying to approach me for an close-door conversation and I just walked out of the crew room, away from her, away from anybody else who is in there. I cried my feeling out the the restaurant's restroom. It was humiliating, I can say.  

That very moment when I stepped in inside my work place, I don't need anyone to provoke and trigger my feelings.. to let me remind how awful I felt about my life right now. How heavy and hard my problem is. All I wanted was a nice approach from her, a consideration, a little sensitivity on her words to use after me. Cause that very moment in my life, I can say that I am very sensitive and holding up my feelings. Cause that very moment in my life, going to work was an escape as well to all my problem and hideous sad feeling. We ended up bad, she was just like pulling a trigger of a gun. 

She was a woman, like me. A mother and a wife like me, I expected so much affection and sensitivity regarding on this, yet she did not. And, I was very disappointed that we have don't have any relationship but a pure working relationship. Sometimes, for you to manage successfully, you have to have broad interpersonal skills, that of a skills that a person can interact with other people. Interpersonal skills involve using skills such as active listening and tone of voice. They include delegation yet have leadership. 


And that is what and how a Professional one reacts and acts.
