Lip Tooch

I tried to imitate Anne Curtis' picture doing a lip tooch with lipstick that she posted on her Twitter account in which she had deleted.Sadly, even after three attempts, it wasn't close to perfection :(

First try:

I tried this Friday dawn and sneaked in my grandma's room and took her two lipsticks. You heard it right, it's my grandma's.And the mirror too! I used R17 Smooth Matte Lipstick in Dare Devil and combined it with Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Plum Perfection.


Attempt:FAILED!

Second Try:

This was my second trial which I did just a few hours ago and after 5 takes, this picture was, in my opinion, is the "copycat" of Anne's. Yet in her picture, both sides of her jaw were seen and the camera wasn't too close to the mirror.In this picture, I used Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Bonbon Pink and Avon Simple Pretty Colorburst Lipstick in Red Fantasy.


Attempt: Accomplished!....?

Final Try:

I have nothing to say much in this photo. The lipstick wasn't even similar, the mirror's fucked up smoggy,camera's too close.Disappointment! In this photo, I used Nichido Sheer Lipstick in Nude and Maybelline Collagen Shimmer in M33.

Attempt: Failed :(

This may resulted in epic failness YET, I will not stop trying until I achieve the best lip tooch photo ala Anne Curtis.

P.S These lip tooch photos were made out of boredom. So if this post doesn't please you, DON'T BOTHER!

Dilemna,just like everybody else

When I was a bit younger, I had already planned what would it like when I go to college. Everything was set and properly planned. From my course to my dream university. Yet when I failed to take the USTet, those plans I had in my head slowly crumbled like weathering rocks. I felt mortified when my dream of getting out of Davao and start a new life in Manila as a college student cannot happen and WILL NEVER HAPPEN. After that, I've been going through an inner battle within my ambitious self and my laid-back self. After months of asking myself, I ended up in the situation that almost every High School go through-where would I go next?

After I got the exam result yesterday and my prospectus, I didn't feel giddy or excited. In fact I felt blank, almost nothing. Then if my dad approaches me and ask me if I'll take up I.S. ,I just keep my mouth shut.
Sure, I'm pretty firm about my ambitions of being a lawyer but I can't proceed to law right away if I don't graduate a 4-year course. Because of this, I am absolutely torn with these two specific courses that is closely related to my strengths. That is International Studies or Mass Communications.
I've been pretty engrossed with books since I was young. Also,since I learned how to talk straight when I was 3, I never stopped talking,haha. Then, when my cousin introduced my to the world of writing, I've been immersing myself in writing stories which I always fail to finish(facepalms). I'm not making it sound like I'm a bookworm or worse a geek yet reading has been a part of my learning. I could say I'm worth a degree in Mass Communications. But years ago, a friend of my grandma discouraged me when I said that I'll take up Mass Communications. I remember she said this: Wag kang mag MassCom Monique, maraming hindi nakapagtrabaho diyan. (Don't take up MassCom Monique, a lot of graduates did not land a job from that course.) I know some people who graduated MassCom who ended up as tambays or in a decent manner, became call center agents. This made me back up and think of an another course. Then I learned about International Studies.

International Studies has so much to offer like traveling or getting assigned to Japan. In the school I had applied to, they are directly supported by their Japanese administrators because it its a Japanese school (Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku,to be precise) yet I'm not sure myself if I'd land a job related in this course.  I don't want to end up applying for a job that is not in-line with my degree. Worse, I don't want to be unemployed. I hate to fail my parents and waste the money they'll spend.
If I choose to take up Mass Com, I have two universities in mind: Ateneo de Davao University or University of Mindanao. Although personally I'd rather attend in UM than in ADDU because I don't believe in them. They're all just paarte and doesn't have a single grasp of reality. In I.S. ,I have 1 school in mind which I had mentioned earlier. If ever I choose this course, I'd only want to concentrate in Japanese and nothing else.
I only have days to make up this godforsaken mind. If I choose the wrong path, I'd be doomed. I don't want to wallow myself in regret one day for choosing the worse decision. I just want a bright future and a surefire career.

Shit this post is way damn long. it's probably the longest post I wrote here in Blogspot. Anyways, I'm still glad I poured everything here otherwise I would explode.

just one

Even after a year of being M.I.A, I still have one follower. tch.

Oh! About the goat that I named after Prince Harry? He died few days after his birth right after this blog closed down. Until now, I still believe that the Royal Family has something to do with this blog's temporary(?) shutdown.

Resurfaced

And I'm BAAAAAACK! God! It was like a year ago since my last post! I manage to pop this baby again and boom! I thought this baby's dead cuz it won't open. I really missed blogging here and too bad this blog doesn't have any documentations in my last year in high school :(. Yet since school's almost here (facepalms), this blog will have every documentation of my entire college from my adjusting life as a freshmen till my flying-with-colors-moments in my senior year (fingers crossed!). Again, it's so good to be back!
