#MyFlawlessSurprise

Image
I got so shocked when @myflawless (Flawless’ twitter account sent me a direct message saying that I got a #MyFlawlessSurprise from them.  So after three days, I went to the nearest branch of Flawless to my place and received the sweetest surprise ever! February is such a busy and stressful month for me, and before I started it, I relaxed by having my free Classic Facial from Flawless. And also, it’s my first time to attend a promenade so it’s actually a perfect timing to pamper my skin. Again, thank you so much for this sweet and wonderful experience, Flawless! Looking forward to visit again! :)

When I'm no longer #TeamBahay

“Aw I guess I will just see you guys at the next Click Playfest. Maybe it’s not yet my time. Maybe someone deserves those tickets better.” I remember the night when I was tweeting those statements a week before Click Playfest because I did not win the tickets in the raffles that I’ve joined for CPF. So I really felt hopeless and devastated at that time since I   thought   that I will stay as   #TeamBahay . So yeah, the next morning, I felt a lot lazier than ever before. I actually didn’t want to go to school but since I need to study hard so that I could have a great job in the future and have a lot of money and go to a bunch of tours, I decided to just go to school a little late. I decided to check out my Twitter first, though I think it will just hurt because 98% of my mutuals are going to Click Playfest. But still I did, since I’m   manhid na   when it comes to getting heartbroken with not going to tours and concerts. So I opened it and checked my...

#AskMaryAngela: FILTERS

Q:   What app and filter do you use with your Instagram posts? A:   For my Instagram Posts, I use   VSCO Cam .   I don’t have a filter that I consistently use, because I rarely use ready-to-use filters. I would often adjust the brightness, saturation, fade, vignette, sharpness, etc. Not using ready-to-use filters makes your shot more personal because you will be the one to control the amount of brightness, saturation, highlights, etc. Well, that is the actual reason why I have a messy feed. Hehehehe :-----) -- So yeah, I just shared how I apply filters on my IG posts, if you haven’t check them out, here’s a link to my Instagram account:   https://instagram.com/mxryxngxlx/ . And if in case you didn’t know that I have a blog which is only for photos, here is the link too:   http://indecorouslassphotographs.blogspot.com/ .        

ACCEPTANCE

acceptance noun  ac·cep·tance \ik-ˈsep-tən(t)s, ak-\ : the act of accepting something or someone : the quality of being accepted or acceptable You have done everything but your best was not enough. You sacrificed so much just to achieve it but you still failed. You gave your all for it but it was still not given to you. It’s because some things are not meant for you. Maybe “now” is not the right time. If I fail today, I will try to believe that it was not given to me because it is not that special time YET. Maybe you need to prepare yourself harder and try hardest. You have tried your best but someone is better. You need to assess yourself and improve yourself further. Maybe you’re not yet really ready. Maybe you just think you can, but you actually can’t. It’s not bad to dream, but you should learn how to accept when your dreams won’t come true. Life isn’t a fairytale. You can’t ask your fairy godmother to have this or that, you can’t ask the ge...

#AskMaryAngela: FANDOMS AND SOCIETAL AWARENESS

Q:   Teen nowadays engage in several fandoms rather than societal awareness to the point that there are fandom wars and government ignorance. As a teen what is your opinion about this? A:   As one of the teenagers who is involved with several fandoms, I don't think that fangirling is a reason for us to be not aware of what has been happening in our society. Well for me, fandom wars and government ignorance is not always caused by engaging in fandoms but it's a choice of getting involved with such nuisance. It is your choice if you want to be distracted and be badly influenced by joining fandoms or to take joining fandoms as an opportunity to meet different kinds of people, be socially aware and maybe mentally grow further.

These Amazing People

*random senpai/s appreciation post* I will be leaving you a short list (with a sprinkle of fangirling in it) of all the people who I really admire for doing great things and inspiring different people in their own ways. p.s it doesn’t follow any order or what, I just type who pops out from my mind. CHA OCAMPO A.K.A. the Queen of Black is a lifestyle and fashion blogger who actually inspired me to make my own blog. One thing that I really like about her is that she is really honest in expressing herself. She is so honest to her readers that some of them can relate to her life experiences. She is also nice and smart-looking for me. Well for me, she is the best blogger! ELLEISHA ANGELES An internet bestfriend who is actually " goals ". Her instagram feed and youtube vlogs are enough for me to feel relaxed after a long day. She is also nice; like she always cheers me up every time I feel so down and alone.
