Reminiscing



So here i am sitting on my bed writing this blog entry on a friday night all alone in this empty apartment. I can't stop thinking how much i miss my friends from Geneva. It makes me miss the good old days, the HS days when everything seemed so easy.

I used to spend all my weekends in Geneva with my friend Kath who is 3 years younger than me. I met her when she was 15, so i consider her like a little sister. Every end of the yea
r we used to write a list of all the good times we had together, "nos plus belles conneries"/"nos trips" all the stupid things we laugh about. We had lot of fun together, i missed those days. Yes because now it's different since i moved to Lyon. We don't see each other that often, she got her own group of friends and it seems that we don't share the same interests anymore. It's like we grew apart.

Although i feel that way, i think we both know we'll always be there for each other. I still text her from time to time and when
i go back to Geneva we see each other. We shared so many good and bad memories together that even though we have our own life now we'll always be friends. I call her cow #1 and she calls me Gossip Girl. haha Our common friend started to call her "la cow" so i call her like that too. I call my other friend cow #2 because she's always hungry. ^^ She calls me GG because i used to know every gossip in Geneva. (it's a really small town y'a know) I know it's bad but that was back in the days.

Here's a quote i like:
“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can growseparately without growing apart.-Elisabeth Foley


Here's our 2008 list (it's in french we called it "nos periodes 2008"). It refers to some places where we liked to hang out, some people we like, some things we wanted, some things we often used to do, some stories we made up etc...

1. Who is your inspiration in life?

Both of my parents inspire me to do better in life. I've seen how hard working they are just to offer my sister and I a comfort life. I remember when i was younger i always asked my mum why i couldn't have or do what my friends had or did (like going out until late hours). They didn't spoil us nor they let us do whatever we wanted to do. I thank them for that, back then i didn't realized it but now i know. Parents know what is best for us.

I'm blogging with my phone. Just want to try this blogaway application. Btw here's my face of the day.


Globetrotter at heart

I've always wanted to travel around the world and
explore different cultures. In highschool my favourite subjects were sociology and langu
ages. I don't really know why i decided to study Law in Uni ^_
^.
I'm planning a little trip alone in August. I still have to take my driving test before. So if i d
on't pass it i won't travel anywhere. Yes i'm 22 and i still don't have my driving license. Let's
say i didn't have time to go to my driving school since i moved here in Lyon. =P Nevertheless i'm
doing
my best to have it before the month of August. I'm going to my new driving school every day now.
=))
Anyway i've been thinking about some cities where
i want to go. My sister will be having her 6 month internship starting from June, so she won
't be able to travel with me. I told myself that it is a good opportunity for me to travel alone. I never travel alone, i'm terrified but it will be a good experience for me.

So my number one destination for this summer is Toronto, Canada. I've already been there 10 years ago. I studied English there for 2 months. It was a great experience, i met a lot of friends. You might have noticed it, my mother tongue is not English nor Tagalog (Filipino) but French. I've lived my whole life in a small "village" (dans ma cambrousse) near the Swiss border. Since i'm at the Uni i feel like i'm losing my English, most of my classmates really suck at English. For people who supposedly studied English since grade 6, they should at least know the basic. Just to tell you that i can't even have a simple conversation with them in English. So i don't practise my English that much here. The purpose of my trip to Canada would be to improve my English. I'm planning to stay there for a month.
If not the second city where i really want to go is New York City. I've never been there but i've been to New Jersey. =P I just saw Manhanttan from far away while driving to NJ.

I also really want to go to Ireland. I saw a documentary on the tv, since then i want to visit that country. Moreover i find their Irish accent really cute. ^^

Ibiza, Spain is another choice of mine. My friends went their last year and they had lots of fun. If i'm going there, i'll be going with my friends and not alone. Ibiza is like Cancun.
If all else fails, i might just go to the Philippines and visit Davao City. =))

This is quite a long post. Sorry for my blablabla =P

Wet n Wild mega last lip color



Sorry in advance for the bad quality of the pictures, it was taken at night and the lighting in my apartment is really bad.

I've been reading lots of good and bad things about these lipsticks & i wanted to give it a try. I ordered them on ebay for $2.99 + shipping $5.98. (If you don't have wet n wild available in your country you can buy some of their products on www.nonpareilboutique.com)
I received them after 2 weeks.

Product description:
Fall in love with Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color, a highly pigmented and long-lastinglipstick that delivers rich hues in semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color has a velvety texture that glides on smooth. A blend of hydrating skin-care ingredients such as Hyaluronic Microspheres , exclusive polymer complex, natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E leaves your lipsfeeling healthy and smooth. Available in 18 beautiful shades from creamy nude to hot pink.

(Mauve outta here, Mac Pink Nouveau, Think Pink)

I bought Think Pink (baby pink) and Mauve outta here (doesn't look like mauve but more like pink with a hint of purple, bordering on fuchsia).

Like it's said it's a long-lasting lipstick, so you can expect it to feel dry. Nevertheless it has Vitamins A& E which are moisturizers, so it balance the dryness. I usually avoid wearing matte lipstick too because of their drying formula.

I was quite disappointed with Think Pink. It feels dry and a bit heavy when applied. It will last a few hours and then fade unevenly. Furthermore, i don't recommend this shade for medium/dark skin tone.

I really like Mauve outta here which suits more my medium skin tone. It also feels a bit heavy when applied but doesn't dry my lips out.

They're highly pigmented, they're unscented and really cheap! The only downside is the packaging. I don't like it at all.

OFTD Late Post!!















Iwas supposed to post this earlier but i was kind of busy. I was also supposed to post some haul entries but i guess i won't. I've been lacking on blogging lately for so many reasons. If it's because of school it might also be just because of laziness. I'm going to try my best to keep this blog alive. So this was my outfit the other day.


Blouse from tout le monde en parle (only here in France) 23 euros.
Leggings from h&m 8 euros.
Flats from my favourite store but it seems that i never paid attention to the name. I go there once a week to buy new shoes. They were only 7 euros.
