Myspace Month Comments & Graphics

It's the last day of the month of May! Another wonderful month had passed and we are moving on to a new joyful month of June. So what are the things we are going to expect on June? Are there any changes from the weather? Changes in the things we usually do during the whole month of May? Well, there would be a lot of things to do in the coming month. It's summer time!

Today, my husband's grandson, Tyler will spend his weekend here with us. He's out from his school for the summer. We are going to have a burger party later and have some fun. Still, we are thinking about our long summer trip. Hopefully that the price of the gas and diesel will come down so everybody can enjoy going on a trip without any hassle about the gas prices going up.

This summer time, I know that everyone would be getting ready for their summer trip. Everybody will go splashing to the beach, picnic in the lakes and enjoying their time in any theme parks or state parks. As for me, I am ready for the summer too. My essentials for here, there and everywhere are almost ready too. I guess, I need more a little shopping to complete them. But for the time being, let's enjoy the last day of May!

A Little Facts About Me

I got 15 questions from Felicity's Journal. These 15 questions are all about me! I don't know what are the questions yet as I didn't start reading them one by one nor read Felicity's questions and answers. I just don't want to spoil the thrill while answering them and I will surely get back to Felicity's answers after I am done answering these questions. Thanks Fel!

RULES:

1. Add your blog/s to the list. Feel free to add all your other blogs. It’s okey if you only post this questions in one blog as long as you answer them.

2. Get back to ME {refers to YEN} and I’ll add your blogs to the master’s list here! Yup, another linking thingy but this one has 15 questions and you get to enjoy answering them too!

3. Tag as many friends online you know. But you don’t need to be tag in order to join.

QUESTIONS:

1. When you buy a greetings card, are the words or the picture more important to you?
  • It's actually both the picture and the words that are important to me! I am looking for a very catchy picture and words that would surely fit the personality of the person. I also like giving greeting cards to anyone. I usually personally hand-picked the very sweet and very wonderful greeting card I could ever find. I want my friends to know that even it's just a paper/card. My thoughts are written there that would last a lifetime.
2. What’s your favorite kind of cake?
  • I love eating the super moist chocolate cake with chocolate icing on it. I have loved the easy-to-make strawberry shortcake I got from a good friend Joy. I think, I am also a cake monster (aside from being a cookies and brownies monster) for I love whatever cake it is with a nice icing on top.
3. Do you ever make gifts for people, if so what, or do you buy them?
  • I do! I love gift-giving because I know in return they will give me something nice too (laugh!). Seriously, I do like to give gifts on special occasions. I buy them in store and have it wrap in colorful gift wrappers.
4. What’s your favorite holiday?
  • Of course, the Christmas Season! Nobody beats the Christmas Season, everybody knows that. Christmas Season is the best holiday of the year... where people get together, bring joy together and the last but not the least, to enjoy gift-giving! yehey!
5. Are you going on holiday this year? If so, where?
  • Hopefully yes! I would love to visit Orlando, Florida during the holidays. Better yet, a wonderful getaway at San Francisco Bay Area in California and in Los Angeles in California too. It would be a lot more fun to spend the holidays in Brooklyn or Manhattan, New York where I always dream of.
6. What was the best party you’ve ever been to?
  • I would say all the wedding parties I have been to. I love the thought of having two persons unite each other's heart for a lifetime. Plus, the good food, the ceremonies, the get together of some good friends, the joy and laughter brought to everyone. It is a nice feeling to have something to remember.
7. If you are married, describe your wedding. If not, what would your ideal wedding be like?
  • My wedding was so easy and fantastic! I can't even remember a thing happened during my wedding. It was a wedding in a small and cute chapel in an alpine mountain where the trees, the clouds, and the birds joined me and my husband for a marvelous moment of our time.
8. What’s the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to you?
  • Everyday has been romantic to me. My husband makes me a baby, a real princess and a queen! He sometimes cooks me a breakfast, lunch or dinner. He would always tell me how much he loves me for who I am. He always give me something that I like. He said, he would give me the whole world if he can. Now, who can beat that?! (laugh!)
9. What’s your favorite girl’s name?
  • I always have a passion for the name Hannah and Tatiana. I always tell this to myself, if I will ever have kids, I would named them after my maiden and married names initial.
10. What’s your favorite boy’s name?
  • That would be Kiefer or Kirby but the names are not the same with my maiden and married names initial. Henry and Tristan would be fine too.
11. Which celebrity would you like a dream date with?
  • It would be Josh Lucas and Paul Walker! Don't even ask me why... just look at them!

Horrible Photo Moment

Last Friday, we had a schedule for a photo moment to a professional photo studio at Olan Mills Portrait Studios. It's been a week now. We got there on time, we were actually a little bit early for our scheduled time (3 minutes before 12 PM). We waited for 30 minutes past our scheduled time, but nothing happened. The photographer and the staff didn't even bother to acknowledge our presence while we were patiently waiting for our turn.

My husband was really upset! He raised any kind of hell to the lady who's just there sitting and looking in the computer choosing some nice pictures taken from one of the customers. She made us wait for 30 minutes, I was standing all along and my feet are getting tired wearing pointed close shoes with high heels. But still, we didn't get the service we paid and waited for. Very unprofessional!

Luckily, I got my fresh photo shots after preparing for 2 hours and 30 minutes. I curled my hair for an hour, put my best make-up on for another 1 hour and the 30 minutes for dressing up and putting my shoes on. After all the horrible moment in the studio, Winn told me that's he's going to buy me a much better digital camera because he said, he will never ever do it again for a professional photo studio or will never ever come back again to Olan Mills Portrait Studio at K Mart. At least, after that incident, I will get a treat from my loving husband!

The Meaning of B-I-T-C-H!

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life - MY WAY! It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch , so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it!

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

Beauty Secrets Tag

Who says I am vain? I am not! I don't even consider myself vain at all. I just want to enhance my beauty of being a glamorous woman of the millennium. My husband always tells me that I don't even need those make-ups to make me more beautiful. He said, that I am hiding my natural beauty with those expensive make-ups. He always makes me feel comfortable for whatever I have in my body. It feels so good that someone, like my husband, adores and loves me so much!

My Foundation: I am not actually into foundations. I don't use foundation unless I am going to special occasions, I used the Cover Girl clean make-up or Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse. I rather put Pond's moisturizing cream on my face then apply a Maybelline New York shine free pressed powder.

My Blush: I love using blush-on! I love them on my cheeks. I used Maybelline New York expert wear Blush top with Bonnebell Blend and Glow. I love mixing up my blush-on because I wanted to see my cheeks blooms and glows anytime of the day.

My Day Cream: I use Pond's dry skin cream. I have been using it since I got here because I noticed that my face were dry and breaking out from the changes of the weather.

My Lipstick: To prevent my lips from chapping, I use Nivea Lip Care. Then when I go out, I put on Cover Girl wetslicks lipgloss or Maybelline New York superstay lipcolor.

My Essential Beauty Product: I use Neutrogena Deep Clean cream cleanser to wash my face and to avoid having an oily face. It penetrates and refreshes my face and makes my skin smooth and healthy. I try to wash my face at least twice a day (morning and evening) to prevent my face from getting pimples and from having an oily face.

My favorite Make-up product: Nothing in particular. I use different brands for my make-up. I usually use Maybelline New York, Cover Girl, Revlon and L'oreal.

My Perfume: I have a secret garden collection of Victoria's Secret refreshing body mist. My all-time favorite are the Pear Glace and Strawberries and Champagne. But I do like the Ralph Cool by Ralph Lauren.

My Nails: Old Rose! But most of the time, the color of my nails are Platinum and Girly Pink. I use Maybelline New York salon expert nail color. This time, I am so much vain when it comes to my fingernails and toenails. I love to see them colored and I love taking care of them. Back in the Philippines, I always have my nails done every after 2 weeks. Since it is pricey here, I still get my nails done but not very often as I was used to back at home.

My Feet: I just wash it everyday and put on some Vaseline 100% pure Petroleum Jelly to make it soft and smooth. Back at home, I get a foot spa for at least once a month. Here, although I still get a foot spa but not very often as I was used to back at home because it cost me a fortune.

My hands: I use Nivea Hand smooth indulgence hand cream or just the regular Nivea body smooth sensation daily lotion and sometimes I use Vaseline 100% pure Petroleum Jelly to make it softer and feel smoother.

Three Products to bring on a deserted island: I want my breath to feel fresh and cool so I will bring Crest toothpaste or just a fresh burst Listerine antiseptic. Then I want to bring my Dove powder invisible solid deodorant to prevent me from having a wild body odor. Lastly, I will bring my Cover Girl wetslicks lipgloss.

Women I admire for their beauty: Eva Longoria-Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel

Women with the best Sense of Style: Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson

My ultimate dream: To live the American dream!

My favorite fashion Publication: Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire
