<br />
Now it's different, she already realized that it is impossible for her to be a mermaid. Now she wants to be a teacher, an ice cream maker, a model or a writer. I was surprised that doctor was not on her list since that's the common answer I heard from kids including me during my time. But whatever career she'll choose, I will always be here to support her.<br />

This is the effect of too much work.<br /><br />So first thing that I think that I needed is a light foundation/powder to cover up imperfections on my face, I want something that I can wear every day. My friend and I went into a lot of beauty booths to try things on our face, at first I was eyeing for MAC but I ended up with Bobbi Brown. .. Why? .. I don't know why.. Maybe the sales assistant is better and more accommodating than Mac's. Beauty specialist from Bobbi brown helped me determine my shade since I have no idea what shade I am or what's my skin undertone, she put some light foundation and a finishing powder and some blush ... and tadah! I look like a real lady :) But I didn't buy those things right away since I want to know how it will look like after hours of walking around. But the beauty specialist was so nice; she gave me a sample of the liquid foundation that she tried of my face, the sample lasted more than a week. After week of testing, it didn't give me any breakouts so I decided to buy the full size bottle. I bought it from Sephora online since I got a lot of freebies when buying it from there and I also accumulate points every time I purchase something from them which can be exchange with goods. A good deal huh? ...but I have to wait until it arrives. <br /><br />After reading and watching about foundation reviews and techniques on how to apply it, i realize I needed a brush! I bought Eco tools foundation brush since It' cheaper, but I heard a lot of raves about Sigma F80 brush so I ordered one from their site, I also ordered F30 powder brush to save shipping cost, and also I'm planning to buy a finishing powder someday. After reading some beauty blogs, I read that I needed a primer also to make the foundation lasts, so I researched for a good primer, primers are expensive! I bumped into this <a href="http://bunbunmakeuptips.com/5-good-reasons-you-need-the-monistat-chafing-relief-powder-gel-as-a-face-primer ">blog</a>, she recommends Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel, it's not really a primer but it does the job plus it is cheap, so I ordered it online since I'm too shy to buy it from the drugstore.<br /><br />While learning more about make ups, I'm also buying a lot of things... making myself looks good hurts my pocket. I know I could have settle from drugstore brands but since I don't know my shade I might end up buying the wrong shade which might costs me more. <br /><br />So what's next? ...I'm still waiting for my brushes and primer. But should I do some FOTD or reviews? ... Nah! I'm not confident to post my Face for FOTD and I think I'm not reliable for reviews since I'm still a newbie. For now I can only give my opinion as I learn more.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-2522306036485887702012-04-13T13:11:00.004-07:002012-04-13T13:22:00.179-07:00almostit is so depressing, I'm nearly overwright, my BMI index 24.9 which is still on normal, but overweight starts st 25 so when I round off my current BMI I'm overweight! waaahhhhh<br /><br />even i eat less, it is still hard for me to loose since of my acquired hypothyroidism... i hope my doctor has a suggestion on how to effectively loose weight even on my condition, I'll ask him on my follow up checkup. <br /><br />i hope there's still HOPE.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-49910888314339953992012-04-05T22:25:00.003-07:002012-04-05T22:41:20.213-07:00my new toyI bought kindle fire! I got it this morning and I really loved it, it is just like Ipad but cheaper. It suits my needs since I want something small, something that will let me read a book before going to sleep, something that I can use for browsing. Plus, I can install apps and music, and I also got a chance to maximize our Amazon Prime membership because it let me borrow a book and watch movies FOR FREE. The first book that I borrowed is Hunger games. I haven't explored that much yet but I think Kindle will be so worth it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuY5bVg-GjRCUa0bjC2dyGts3yPcuJs-MShRg_M9z2cazjCJfbow8msT90r0HwknxRK79Ebk-dIDwA1-xvX1aRIKff2ACh4GjU7w9T6Jqid3wyCW0g2m7Zt83ejIRbLVsl6Xgpg9Mu8okc/s1600/newtoy.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuY5bVg-GjRCUa0bjC2dyGts3yPcuJs-MShRg_M9z2cazjCJfbow8msT90r0HwknxRK79Ebk-dIDwA1-xvX1aRIKff2ACh4GjU7w9T6Jqid3wyCW0g2m7Zt83ejIRbLVsl6Xgpg9Mu8okc/s200/newtoy.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728158619867742818" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-43027140756714751582012-03-06T00:06:00.001-08:002012-03-06T00:06:22.954-08:00busy schedulehaven't posts lately because of my hectic sched. in laws are here so<br />

I just hope someday..someday, he will know how to treat a girl right. Sharing this post, I'm not sure who originally wrote this but I'd like to acknowledge him for his sensitivity, I'm sure the girl is so lucky to have someone who understands her. <br /><br /><em>Treat your girl right, bro. Plain and simple.<br /><br />I know it can be hard to please her sometimes, but it’s worth it in the end. Remember that she’s your happiness, your world. She should be the first person you talk to in the morning, and the last person you whisper “Good night” to. Unlike some of your bros, she’s going to be there for you when you’re the happiest, but more importantly, when you’re at your lowest. She’ll cook for you and care for you, so treat her like a queen. Girls are delicate creatures. Think before you say. Think before you act. They take every little mistake you make and multiply it by a thousand. So try not to mess up, aight? When you’re fighting, sometimes it’s better to put your relationship before your own pride. You’re not helping yourself by making her upset, bro. And never, ever, under any condition, let her go to sleep crying. She’ll resent you for it for the rest of your days. Don’t forget to make her feel special everyday. Open doors, go shopping with her. Hell, make dinner for her! The more you show her you love her, the more she’ll give you in return. Remember that an “I love you” via text is never as special as one in person. And show her off to your bros, don’t be ashamed of her. She’s never been ashamed of your dorky ass. Look, she doesn’t really need much in a relationship; she just wants to feel like she matters to you. That’s not asking for much, bro.<br />But if you haven’t learned a thing from reading this, remember this. Love her unconditionally, loyally, and keep her close. Love her with everything you’ve got: emotionally, mentally, and physically. Because I swear, if you won’t treat your girl right, someone else definitely will.</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-42044297596894031812012-01-19T12:14:00.000-08:002012-01-19T12:40:30.241-08:00snow is not bad at all<div>it's been snowing at seattle since Sunday, dream come true for lila but a nightmare for me. Snowing means we are stuck inside the house! We have to do our work at home which is so challenging for me, cause i have to watch over Lila, cook and do other household chores at the same time. Anyway we found some way to enjoy the snow, i stopped working at 4pm yesterday and followed Lila and Mark outside. We played at the snow, we threw snowballs and sled!it was so much fun, I was so happy to see Lila enjoying the snow.

Birthday planning starts again, a bit later than my usual planning because on all of her past birthdays, I usually plan it atleast 2 months before her birth month. But now, since we're only planning a very simple celebration for her, I don't have to create personalized invitation, no need to get a balloon supplier for the venue set up, no need to get a magician for entertainment, no need to scout divisoria for the lootbags and contents... In short, not much of hassle anymore.<br /><br />For this year, lila just wants to bring cupcakes at her school, she got the idea from her classmate who celebrated their birthday that way. She also want to give treat bags.<br /><br />I'm planing to get cupcakes from <a href="http://theyellowleafcupcake.com/"> Yellow Leaf</a> , they have wide selections of cupcake flavors and they also have junior sizes which teachers also preferred because it is less sugar. I'm planning to get 3 dozen junior cupcakes. For the treat bags, we'll go to a nearby party city, I hope we can get everything we need there.<br /><br />Mark also planning to eat out with our fellow pinoy friends here... where? - I have no idea :D<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-32601233188535964292012-01-03T21:10:00.000-08:002012-01-05T23:38:14.096-08:00tomatoed pork (kinamatisan)Easy to prepare and budget friendly dish that I've learned from my mother-in-law<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcnJmZb7UgUBTXoUqZgQ6mehWOF78PQxy2EeC9-ZSwIAwHwvjW0cWHNZVRxSy5FDmJez54jA5MIkyBFLsQVM95sLwBBl8_ABgJsOZtO8Gj2rptn6lWyM282XG1P3-b3jfanUSE9sH2ZBGp/s1600/6632803475_5e69e8261e.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcnJmZb7UgUBTXoUqZgQ6mehWOF78PQxy2EeC9-ZSwIAwHwvjW0cWHNZVRxSy5FDmJez54jA5MIkyBFLsQVM95sLwBBl8_ABgJsOZtO8Gj2rptn6lWyM282XG1P3-b3jfanUSE9sH2ZBGp/s320/6632803475_5e69e8261e.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693645025458223378" /></a><br /><br /><br />Ingredients:<br />- 1/2 kilo pork ribs<br />- 5-6 pcs. diced tomatoes<br />- 1 med. size onion, quartered<br />- napa cabbage or bok choy<br />- salt to taste<br />- water<br /><br />Procedure:<br />- put onions and tomatoes in a pot. cook in a low heat until the tomatoes become watery<br />- add pork ribs and cook for about 3 minutes<br />- add water, just enough to cover the pork<br />- bring to a boil, then lower the heat<br />- add salt to taste<br />- cook some more until the pork is tender<br />- add the napa cabbage or bok choy<br />- and then turn off heat<br />- serve and enjoy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746878621050511774.post-41388155632919361692012-01-01T01:40:00.000-08:002012-01-03T21:06:14.044-08:00my 2012 goalsGoodbye 2011 and Hello 2012!<br /><br />First time I started the year outside my homeland, unfortunately due to our busy schedule I was not able to do any of my usual rituals before the new year starts. Though I'm still hoping that 2012 will still be generous to us even I was not able to hang grapes on our door and windows, even I was not able to have 12 round fruits on top of our table, even I was not able to shower coins and candies inside our house.<br /><br />5 minutes before new year, we were outside our friends house, waiting for the fireworks from the space needle -<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2sd6ObEMKcg8woeK_tl64Y-A_Zc1SjN8fr8zcWj4uhLBNXf__RclpgklFh8lzTT5tsXUlzGaJB9TKEr2AVy07KScnqexmPV1iB0Zlo_B2PJKvaRs635x_zAGm4LZe3OE5amqnJeFK_t38/s1600/12311+%25283%2529.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692765654500158386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2sd6ObEMKcg8woeK_tl64Y-A_Zc1SjN8fr8zcWj4uhLBNXf__RclpgklFh8lzTT5tsXUlzGaJB9TKEr2AVy07KScnqexmPV1iB0Zlo_B2PJKvaRs635x_zAGm4LZe3OE5amqnJeFK_t38/s320/12311+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a> </p>On this year, here are the things I want to accomplish:<br /><br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Loose weight</strong> - this is the most common item on everyone's goal. My plan is just to eat fruits/veggies at night and do some exercise at least twice a week. </li><br /><li><strong>Be punctual</strong> - in everthing, it can be at work or appoitment with anyone. This is a bit challenging because I also have to consider Mark and Lila's time since we're always together.</li><br /><li><strong>Take a pic <s>everyday</s> and update my tumblr or my blogger</strong> - I just want to maximize my SLR and I want to track the things thats happening in my life.</li><br /><li><strong>Read atleast 3 books in this year</strong> - to improve my vocubalary. My goal is just 3 cause I don't read that much anymore.</li><br /><li><strong>Be happily together all this year</strong> - I'm hoping and praying that Mark, Lila and I will be able to spend all the days of this year together. It sounds impossible because this is something I can't control but I'm still hoping, so I'm giving it up to Him to make this happen. But ofcourse my part is to do my best at work.</li><br /><li><strong>California vacation </strong>- Disneyland and Universal studios. And I'm hoping to visit some of our relatives there also. </li><br /><li><strong>Buy the bag</strong> - that I really wanted . I know this is something exepensive but this will be a gift for myself on my birthday. And a treat for my hardwork :p MJ Classice Q Lil Ukita</li></ul><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj25wmj47FMTtoCGqrthR-R6V36crIEbcUjk2FeAIZr3vi8tt5agE4rR1S-9hW_jfy1xmUJ3hKdsqwv0CMxaa7jrDWe_Nez2qXBGOdNzTWUJF8oScslSzaEBbik74kSBzjx3eqcwPyujs0s/s1600/marcjacobs.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 303px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692773721216204130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj25wmj47FMTtoCGqrthR-R6V36crIEbcUjk2FeAIZr3vi8tt5agE4rR1S-9hW_jfy1xmUJ3hKdsqwv0CMxaa7jrDWe_Nez2qXBGOdNzTWUJF8oScslSzaEBbik74kSBzjx3eqcwPyujs0s/s320/marcjacobs.png" /></a></p><br /><br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Return Lila's money</strong> - through the years, Lila saved a lot from the aquinaldos she received and allowances from Japan.

Doctor's finding is infiltration, infiltration is caused by excessive use of contact lens or virus, the latter is scary because it can make you blind. So i diligently followed doctor's advice to put vigamox every hour. After a two days, my eye got better, but i still go to the doctor for monitoring, she gave me more meds. The doctor advised me not to wear contacts until my eye gets totally healed, so I'm wearing my old eye glasses which is not match on my current grade anymore.<br /><br />I hate wearing glasses, it bothers me. But for now i have no choice, i have to take care of my eyes before i totally loose my sight, maybe this is already a warning or a lesson for me that I should take care of the blessings that HE gave. <br /><br />Next time, i won't abuse my eyes. I won't wear contact lens for too long..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85694/minggay/4a43af508a65febe72a384a5a6b88113.png" border="0" /></a></div>minggayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09188138504559625152noreply@blogger.com
