Christmas 2012

The usual eye & brow makeup + MAC lipstick in Cherish topped with Viva Glam V lipglass 

I was saving my appetite the entire day and had this nicoise salad topped with spanish mackarel + another salad for Noche Buena. Because of all the parties that preceded, I didn't want to go overboard during Christmas eve! We had an early dinner and nothing else followed at midnight aside from the opening of gifts. Saving my appetite for New Years- we'll be celebrating with cousins by then. 

I've been wanting these for a long time and I finally got them for Christmas- the AIAIAI TMA-1 DJ Headphone with mic. They're the PERFECT matte black headphones! Couldn't find pretty ones here without those tacky logos popping out so my mum ordered from the website and had her best friend ship it from America. Thank you, mum and dad! They're my first pair and I love them.

Just glad that the fam was complete for the holidays! More than thankful for all the blessings He has given me this year and I'm already looking forward to 2013. Hope you all got what you wished for! Thank you for continuing to support my little online diary. Love you guys!!! May you be blessed.

Riz and I were invited to join a photo shoot for Young Star Philippines at Salon de Ning (in the Peninsula Manila). The article's going to be about local Tumblr personalities which made Riz and I question the validity to being called "Tumblr Royalty". Seriously, we both don't get as many views and likes as the other people in that shoot, even if you consider the likes we get from both our personal Tumblrs plus the Walkie Talkies Tumblr page collectively.

But whatever, we are flattered. And we had so much fun being in the same room as Saab, Tricia, Regina and Rob! Plus we got to meet Seph & Shai and one tech blogger whose name I missed. Sorry!!!

Their tumblrs are amazing. Mine's merely filled with random photographs linking directly to this blog. Heeee. Riz has more interesting stuff on hers just because she posts music and anecdotes.

Can't wait to see our photos! As usual, our "band" photos are of us laughing and doing stupid things... So that should be interesting. Karen told us to "come as you are" and of course that meant the fashion bloggers will dress up. Thankfully Riz and I were categorized as one of the artsy bloggers. Saab did her makeup in 2 minutes when she arrived straight from Boracay, only to find us dressed in things that weren't too casual. It was so cute!

VR for the Ramp (part 2) + chill night out

Jujin's LVxStephen Sprouse sneakers really pop out!!!

So cute inside the gift box window display

Issa won the raffle!

Vania :)

We watched the Rite after the show, went to Issa's condo to change and then messaged some friends to meet us at 2nd's to chill and have some drinks (shucks, I sound like I'm too old to go clubbing but really, we're just a bunch of tired students).

They have THE BEST margaritas, I kid you not! Try their mango and strawberry margaritas.

The Sangria and wine were really good, too! We wanted to sample more drinks but I think they wanted to close already...

I love these Deborah Lippmann glitter nail lacquers!!! I only bought these two for now since they're a bit pricey...

The colors show up way better with flash (D.L. Across the Universe and Birthday Party)

Ria (L) and Issa (R) got gel nail extensions done! I can never do that because of our plates and they both admit that it's hard to work with them! LOL...

Pia and I both have Deborah Lippmann's Birthday Party on but I have a purple lacquer from Essie as a base.

Robin drove us 5 girls to the Peninsula Manila after debating for over 30 minutes as to where we were going to pig out... Everyone got shocked that I was willing to eat at that time of the night but I declared it as my cheat day since I had a shoot on Sunday. BAD MOVE, got a call the next day (Friday) that I had to mowwdel on Saturday. WHOOPS. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, I have no regrets (I think).

This place is quite old but it's still very lurvely.

Goofy Pia + pensive Ria

No, we weren't counting calories-- we were all getting soooo sleepy already! Blame the good drinksss.

Rizza's

Issa and Ria shared one plate of this, so did Pia and I. Super yummy!

And duhh what is pig out night without overindulging? I had some pasta! OINKIDOINK.
