Kikay Me :)

Personal Friday, November 30, 2012

Growing up, I was such a tomboy. So when I told everyone I had just signed up to become a beauty consultant, they were in awe.

Haha In my younger days, I had really short hair, the school-boy hair, hahaha so just imagine how my family and closest friends react, I bet they never thought of me venturing in anything close to being such a kikay.

Haha they're now dubbing me as "bayot" (or babaeng bakla/ gay). Ooops, why oh why?

I should have known earlier how fun it is to dress up! *blushies* From choosing a nice dress, or a pair of skirt and cute blouse to donning a really chic blazer, not to mention the pain-defying high heels, *wink* hahaha people change, and as for me, it was a kikay overhaul! Haha Now, I could never have enough of green eyeshadow. Hehe

Back in my days as a girly-tomboy, I thought beauty and fashion were mere shallow forms of self expression. Yeah, I was really a hater. That anything deviating from the "natural look" was a clown. *boom* I was really harsh to those faces who hid from thick foundations and dolled up with eye-popping colors and yes, the "just-ate-lechon" overdose of lipgloss, hahaha
Ooops :p

Now, I am a firm believer that a good personality needs to have a good-looking face too. Yes! You can read that again.

So to my girls out there, if you don't know how to do the "no-makeup makeup look" (well, just like me, haha) ; you can never go wrong with a dose of cheek&lip color and a mascara. Don't you forget to choose the right foundation or face powder for you. (Oiliness is next to ugliness). Wow, do I sound like an expert. Haha

As for my boys, easy on the make up, haha let me pressure you to have good skin, not necessarily baby skin but at least, please look clean, avoid the oil in your face. Weeee. And yes, it wouldn't make you less of a man if you know how to use moisturizer and sunscreen. *wink*

Hands up my beautiful boys and girls.

For those with personality problem, read this: act according to your beauty :p and here's a cure for your bad attitude, go eat that makeup. *just kidding*

I know beauty isn't and shouldn't be just skin deep but it isn't wrong to make an effort to look good, right? :) I tell you, more and more good things would come your way. :)

So, what's your kikay story? :)

Brain Freeze Project – the search for my next favorite frozen treat :)

food Sunday, June 17, 2012

Almost everyone knows how I’m a big fan of anything sweet and cold, oh yes, ice cream.

Among all the sinful food in the world with high levels of fat and cholesterol, I care least how much weight I gain with ice cream consumption. Ice cream has become my comfort food. It just gives happy signals to my brain. It’s an instant relief when I’m stressed. It’s a simple reward I give myself for my victories in life.

Friends in high school would probably remember me as that one classmate who won’t go to reunions without asking Joshua for free ice cream. One Christmas party and I got sick, I insisted Joshua to donate ice cream for me coz the doctor told me it’s the cure to my flu. I don’t know if he bought the ice cream because of my lame story but I enjoyed the whole gathering with that happy frozen treat. And for the record, my flu went away after that ice cream treat, really! Amazing, huh? Haha.

Back in college, I used to buy ice cream and treat my friends every time I feel weak from all the school work. It is my happy food. And I was so touched when Nel and Larry dave bought me my then favorite ube ice cream to console me from crying like a baby after failing one return demonstration. Even during review days, when I was gonna break down from the upcoming Board Exam pressure, I would treat myself for a scoop of my favorite dessert.

I can even go to a birthday party without a birthday cake, as long as I can have ice cream, heaven is on my side.

Too much of that really drooling introduction, haha,

I am happy to announce that I am now launching my 45-Day Brain Freeze Project. This would be a search for my next favorite frozen treat. Every now and then, I’d update my blog for the taste tests and ratings. J I am open to suggestions about which ice cream, sundae, ice craze, frozen dessert to try. There are a lot of dessert stations around the metro and I’m really confused where to start. So help me out here, tell me what to eat and where to eat them. I’d do my best to try out all your suggestions and rate the frozen desserts according to taste, price and the eat-all-you can factor. J I might ask one of you to join me and have brain freeze! Happy tummy everyone! J
