Giving Back

AICHA GIVES AWAY

If somebody told me three months upon starting this blog that I would have 50 readers I would have replied "FAT CHANCE!"

This blog is a product of my bored free time, rants, beauty stuff, and general nonsense so it's such a wonder why anyone would take the time to click on the follower's button. But thank you! It makes me feel so... fantastic. Like as if my posts really matter somewhat! LOL! Kidding.

So it's time for me to give back to the AWESOME PEOPLE list with a little GIVEAWAY because we all love giveaways! I personally love joining in all the fun, crazy, awesome giveaways from people that I follow. Mine will be just small, nothing too grand. I have one idea for the prizes, as I have a contact from Korea to buy me some Beauty Credit stuff.

I don't know if you've heard of Beauty Credit before, but you can check out some of the items at http://www.beautycredit.co.kr

I have the pressed powder in natural beige which I absolutely love!


Saving up for it! I want to buy some lippies, gloss and nail polishes for my giveaway!

In other news,

My sister is coming back from Japan and I kind of asked her to buy me some make-up to try like Shiseido's Majolica Majorca and Lioele. Hope she can find it (sis is not very well versed in make up) I'll save some of those loots to add to my giveaway? Or maybe for another giveaway!

Ooooo, I'm becoming addicted to giving away stuff! OOOO!

Well that's all for now folks, I am really excited to pull this through! I will pull through, I'm totally sure! Things are looking up and hopefully everything will be alright from now on.

DONATE TO ONDOY VICTIMS

We've been packing our stuff since last night to gather things that might be of use to people who are victims of Typhoon Ondoy in Luzon. We're far off from here in Mindanao, but we feel the crisis and the desperation of our fellow country men. We feel truly helpless as we are far off, we can't do much but gape and feel our hearts break for the men, women, and children who lost so so so much in this calamity.

We're donating clothes and blanket (no. 1 our list), and my dad is thinking of buying as much foldable umbrellas as well (harsh rain still is prevalent, as well as the heat of the scorching sun), some of our shoes, jackets, light reusable bags (my little nieces suggestions, since they see people not having bags to put whatever's left of their possessions)

My friends, classmates have text brigaded me to chip in 100 pesos each so we can donate them.

These things we do are so little in the face of such gravity of destruction and loss...

Please offer your prayers.
You can also help out via donations to the Red Cross/Red Crescent.

    A little goes a long way sis! I'm sure your donations will be greatly appreciated. I went to the supermarket earlier to buy food (mostly canned goods and bread, ready-to-eat foods are preferred than noodles because clean water is scarce) that I will donate through our company's CSR program. It's not much, but hopefully they can somehow alleviate the conditions of the victims.. What happened was really awful and heartbreaking, and I hope it will never happen again.

    Oo nga krissy... Just the extend of the damage, tapos its not as if it will be repaired in a week or two. It's going to take a lifetime for these families to recover and get back on their feet again.

    Naawa talaga ako sa lahat. Its so painful to watch on TV, ano na lang kaya if I was the one suffering like that? :(

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it? But a book should offer more than...

Giveaways For Us to Enter

I like giveaways for a lot of reasons, one being that I get stuff that I can't find from where I am and they're giving it away for free! Two, it says a lot about someone when they share what they can and offer it to other people, even from the simplest gifts to the grandest one. Three, it amazes me: just the very effort that it took for them to pick out such nice items, the money they shell out for it and their enthusiasm in giving it away makes it such a happy event I love to be part of. I hope I can do a giveaway someday too, just a little token. I'm sure I will! I'm looking into nice prizes that are cute and useable. If only I have the money I would probably give something to each of my 30-odd awesome people! Why not? They're super sweet to me! I like sharing and they deserve it :) Please do join in these blogger's happy giveaway: Hazelxeyes15's 100 followers Contest [FOLLOW] [COMMENT [BLOG /TWEET!] Deadline : Saturday 22nd August at 12 midnight GMT. =...

Camera-Less Rants (Again), Updates, Plans

In my last post, I used my webcam yet again and to tell you frankly I think it sucks having to use a webcam or a phone for blog photos. But I'm camera-less again because my pink Lumix camera has gone dead on me. THIS IS THE SECOND LUMIX WE BOUGHT AND IT SUFFERED ALMOST THE SAME DISEASE LIKE MY OTHER BLACK LUMIX. IT MAKES ME HATE THE BRAND SO MUCH. I'd like to put some swatches of some purchases I made recently, like Ellana Minerals Cheek and Lip tint which for me, beats the Skinfood Cool Lip Jelly tint. I mainly use the Ellana tint on my lips because I'm not the blush-on kind of girl. I also wanted to do a personal review of the Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover , which I've been using recently because I've finally hit pan on my Beauty Credit Pressed Powder SPF 27 . Yay! I wanted to post a comparison between two blackhead strips/cream I've been using, because I found out that I have a lot of hidden whiteheads and blackheads on my nose and I'm using this ...
