2017 Year end update! (What YOU should expect for 2018 here!)

Its been a whole year. Wow. Time really flies by faster than I thought. To everyone who continuously supports me - a big THANK YOU TO YOU GUYS! I know I haven't been updating this site for some time and I am really sorry but as we move forward to 2018 I promise to write more. So what have I been up to this 2018? For the first part, I was in Ozamiz City for the first quarter of the year which actually was one of the best things I have done that year. I was able to travel to this amazing place called Mindanao but mostly just got around Northern Mindanao. It was an amazing experience but I think my homesickness got into me and I went back to Manila. But before heading back to Manila, me and the TBDC Fam went to Cebu. It was a short stay but it was an amazing experience. I never thought I would be seeing that amazing city which made me realize that Cebu is pretty much like Manila in some aspects but has fewer highways than we have here. Don't judge me okay? As I g...

Bridesmaid Feels

Its Sunday..and I am doing a garage sale. Solely for the reason that I need funds to get a bridesmaid dress.  I never thought I will do this through selling my precious items to save up for a dress! And I am willing to work hard to save up money for that dress because its for one of my friend's wedding.  Being a bridesmaid is something most girls would take for granted, but being asked to be one means that you are special to them and they want you to be on their special day.  I remember the last time I was part of a wedding entourage. I remember I was a replacement bridesmaid back in High school. It was for a family friend's wedding. I remember it so well because the dress they gave me was too tight it made me regret saying yes to it on the last minute. The dress was a canary yellow one shoulder gown. The bust area was made for a girl with an A cup and I have a C cup so think of how my breathing was in that dress. I was glad it was not a strapless dress or ...

Happy One Year Anniversary!

And its already a year!  Oh my goodness...its been a year. ITS.BEEN.A.YEAR. I can't help but remember how a year passed by so fast that I got my hair shaved. I started reminiscing about how losing my hair also changed my life.  Okay so let's go back to when it all happened - May 31, 2015. It was a rainy evening that I decided to attend Kojie San's over at Valkyrie even though I received the news that my uncle passed.  I still attended because I made a commitment, and whatever happens I will do what I promised. So I got to the venue and a few minutes after I arrived the MC asked who is the bravest woman in the crowd. And as my usual self, I just shouted  Meeeeee in the distance.  And then he asked who is willing to shave their hair for about 10k. One girl went in front and just when the shaver would go through she backed out. Then the bar was raised to 15k. I grabbed the chance and went to stage and got my hair shaved.  It all ha...

Gloomy days bring out the worst in me.

I have actually given myself an ultimatum that what ever happens I need to update you guys. It maybe just a random update on how my life is, or maybe a review or maybe a feature. This gives me the sanity to live life I guess. But these days the weather is getting on to me. Like who would like to smile when its such a sullen day? I try to do it every time but my brain is telling me I am such a nut job. Currently I am getting back to the old routine of stuff. Filming when there is an opportunity and also checking on things I need to do. Its weird because its like they are all new to me again. I think that is what happening to me, just like the weather I am starting to change. I am actually updating my resume so I can apply for a corporate job again. Can you believe that? Its been about two years since I went in an office and did work inside a cubicle - It's crazy! I actually like just blogging everyday or filming every day, but this doesn't really bring enough cash to fee...

LIFE! Updates of a sort...

Image
Hey! Thank you so much for dropping by this little space of the internet. I would greatly appreciate you dropping by and checking out some of the other articles because surely this one will bore you to bits..maybe. So hey! I haven't been updating this blog because mainly...I have been terribly busy. And by busy I mean the I-really-did-not-have-the-time-and-energy-to-even-open-my-laptop sorts. So let me just give you a run down of things I was up to for the past...month or so. By the second week of April, I was working in an office full of materials for a political campaign. You might say I am the logistics person in that office, but I actually didn't feel I was. Two weeks after that I got transferred to a new spot - Yey! I am actually on the field more. I took photos and also gave some materials out. Unfortunately I was not able to get a copy because I didn't really think you guys would like it. Then after that I have also been a poll watcher at the Nationa...

2 Month Hair Update!

Image
Hey Gorgeous!  Remember back in May, I had a very twisted idea of taking a challenge that involved my hair right?  I had it shaved!  And there were a buck load of questions that people asked me which to be honest was overwhelming, but heart warming at the same time. I did it mainly because it was for pure fun and also the money I'll get will be a tremendous help for my uncle. But growing it out was harder than I thought.  THE TWO MONTHS OF AGONY The first week, I actually had no hair at all which made me look like a total man. If I cover my breasts in public, people would immediately think I'm a man! It was hilarious because the stares I get was off the roof, and random people approach me asking what kind of Cancer I have.  And that actually irritated be a bit because 1. I don't have Cancer and 2. You don't know me so stop assuming stuff people!  The cool thing though is my bath time was shorter than before because the fastest...

Image
Hello lovelies! I hope you are all doing great this Wednesday! I will not be posting a make up 101 this week since I've been quite busy with doing editing and shooting new videos for my make up channel. I will be back next week for sure :).  On that note, I will share to you girls my hair color update. 

Brain Fart moment :(

Image
credits to www.ohmygoodness.com Have you ever felt that there is nothing sensible in your brain to translate into your blog? I have had my share of brain fart moment but this by far the worst since I have a lot of posts but due to time constraints with work and also other responsibilities I wasn't able to do them for a while now. If you have followed me on twitter I hope you do I had been tweeting there nonstop about what I've been doing at home around midnight onwards. I have been assigned to edit music for our upcoming company party and doing a medley of sorts out of different songs is very hard. I really takes up your time because it has to be very fluid. I have been sleeping late than the usual which is not great. Fortunately, last night I was able to edit a make up look I will be uploading soon. I will share more information about that within a couple of days.  That's it for my day. I still have to do some editing and quite honestly while typing this blog...

March 15: IT’S OFFICIALLY SUMMER!

Image
Out of the two seasons here in the Philippines, I would prefer summer over the monsoon season, why you ask? Well that is because during summer I will be able to do a lot of things like go on a vacation with my friends and family without worrying about the weather.

Miss me??

Ola girls!  Sorry I had been on hiatus for 5 days..  Its just there had been a lot of stuff going on in my life that I wasn't able to update this site often. I still have some back logs that I will have to post within this week so expect more that one post a day.  I hope you girls understand but I will try my best to write great articles for you all ^^,  I have some stuff for product reviews so watch out for those!  One thing though that I will have to put a hold on is my shopping spree this March. I will not be spending money for shopping this month, even if I would really like to buy that snail cream I saw on Nature Republic I will just have to hold on to my wallet! haha! Oh by they way I will be accepting guest posts so if you want to be featured in my blog. Just send me an email on alicemate1989@gmail.com for more info okay?  As for my youtube account, I have actually been shooting a lot of looks but I haven't edited them but you'll be surprised...

Think how many products those were? haha!  In total, I have reviewed 27 products ranging from skin care to make up to make up tools.

Dollface Cosmetics Make up Seminar Experience + Haul + EH sale update

Image
Guess where I too this picture and I'll give you girls a special prize ^0^ Ola!  Sorry I have not been updating this page again. Due to busy schedule and Pedring I wasn't able to post lately but any who I am back! haha!  In case you girls missed out on my tweets last week I was invited to the Dollface Seminar held in Purebeauty in Serendra. It has been a while since I visited Serendra. I previously worked in a call center just adjacent of Serenedra.  When I saw the message on Facebook regarding the invite I was like  OHMAYGAWD!!!!!! LOL  its close to that, but you get the picture.  Then that day, I woke up super early because I know even if its Saturday here in Manila the public transportation will still bitch me out. Yeah I said it, transportation here in the Philippines is a bitch if you don't get the flow of it haha! I'll do another post about this on my Travel Blog .    So I left the house at exactly 8:45am but you know what time I...

Getting Slimmer for the Better + Updates

Image
From my confession post :) I have been overweight ever since I stepped into high school. It must be because of the hormones and genes that I have. I have experienced to be slim and I like it, but its very hard to maintain it because you really have to restrain yourself from what your taste buds really like.  This was me 2 years ago I admit I’ve let myself go to eat anything I want to. I kind of feel bad about it because the consequence is tough. I had to face a lot of criticism and also the teasing that comes with it. Now I am back on track to be a healthier person. I still eat the food that I love, but I take it in moderation. I also have a rule about eating junk food, if I drank a glass of soda now that will be the only soda intake I will have for the week. I drink more water now since its better.  This is me last May Besides from choosing healthier eating habits, I also try to be more active in moving. I would actually take the longer route on my w...

MIA, Lost 1k and more

Image
Happy Friday! I just want to hide... tsk! Although it is not a good Friday for me its ok. I have been lacking in my posts. I am really sorry girls...I really do. I have been busy because 1. Work - I was given a lot of reports to do which is not a good thing if you ask me. 2.Kids - I don't have kids of my own but I take care of two rascals that I can't seem to have the time to write a new article.  and  3. I lost one thousand pesos -- This may seem weird for me not to write but I have a solid reason.  I lost one thousand pesos last Tuesday, I was going to send the prizes for Issa and Kingking when I noticed that my wallet seems lighter. Its not actually a whole one thousand bill I have in my wallet but a mix of 100's, 20's and 50's. I also had some change in my wallet which seemed weird because it has become lighter.  As much to my surprise someone at home had been sneaking into my room and taking my money without my consent.  I admit I do sound a...
