Lipstick.

For the past weeks, this has been the topic of conversation amongst my group of friends in twitter – what brand, what shade, what hue, etc are just some of the questions that we asked our makeup guru, Ems.

I am not really into make up but I think it is time for me to start putting make up again that is why I joined them when they went shopping in Mac online. How I wish I can learn how to beautify myself.

But if I have the time, I would like to try to attend a makeup class in Regency Beauty Institute, a Nashville cosmetology school. Regency is one of the fastest growing beauty schools in the country. They only started with 2 branches and now they have 80 schools across different states.

They provide great hands-on training to their students as their campuses reflect high tech salons so their students will get nothing but the best training.

I will be getting the lipstick that I bought from my friend next week and I can’t wait to try them on. Who knows, even if I am a late bloomer, makeup might be something that will really interest me.

The food that was served at our Manila Bay Dinner Cruise:

I have to make a review about this cruise and I have a lot of stories and warnings to share so people will know what to expect but since it is 2 AM already, I will have to defer that post for now and just leave you with this picture:

This is one of a kind pictorial, held at the roof top of our building:

I have fear of heights so I was kind of scared when I felt the strong winds but I got to relax after a few minutes when I saw my officemates enjoying the view and taking pictures for their souvenir. So I brought my camera out too and start shooting because I am sure there is no way I will be able to go this high again.

I am really happy that my sideline work has been doing really well the past months. Because of this, I was able to consistently give my share to hubby for our monthly amortization. I makes me really proud because I am now using my earnings from my sideline work to good use instead of just using all of it for shopping.

If work will continue to come, we will be able to save a little for some renovation work at our new home. We actually need to do some floor works and repainting of the walls that we need to buy materials like Halogen Free Solder Paste, paint, new tiles, wood and many more.

Hubby has a lot of projects line up for our house and I know he is eager to start with it soon. That is why I am really praying that work and business will continue to be good for the year of the dragon so we will finally have the budget to push through with some of our projects that we line up for 2012.

How I wish we have boxing week sales in my part of the world. I saw my friends posting pictures of their Boxing Day sale loots and I can’t help but feel envious, as it is a total steal. I am sure we won’t be able to buy those products like Bath and Body works lotions, 50-inch LG Plasma TV, iDock speaker, BalckBerry playbook and more at a price that my friends paid for their loots.

Our last buy from Boxing Day sale was our TCL TV in our living room, which we asked our friend to buy for us. It was a very good buy as we got the 32” TV for only $200 where it is double the price if we will buy it here.

We want a bigger TV to for our living room, as our 32” TV looks small now that we have a bigger living room space. We can ask our friend again to buy 40” TV for us but the problem is on how to ship it here.

Oh well, I guess we just have to wait for the small time sales that most stores are offering here (and besides we still don’t have the budget yet for a new TV. LOL. It is just still in our wish list.)
