I bought a new perfume yesterday. It's sort of a treat for myself on payday. I used to depend on my mom buying perfumes for me but this time I opted to buy my own.
This Benetton Hot Gold has a "citrusy" scent to it but not in a sweet way. It has more of a fresh scent. Which is more to my liking. It's smells very casual so it's best for everyday use. The price is also not bad. The 100ml is worth 1350php. Very budget friendly!
I bought mine at Fresh Fragrance Bar in Eastwood Mall. I highly recommend this perfume store because unlike the perfume section in your regular mall, they don't spray every single scent on you! They also have very good customer service because when I went to their store last week, I didn't know what I was looking for. I just told them my budget and what kind of scents I'm into and they recommended what perfume suits me best.
Had my 4th breast surgery this month. The Doctor had to remove 3 cysts on my left breast this time. Although it is most likely to be benign and fibrocystic, I can never be too sure. Plus it grew in a span of 6 months and we have a history of breast cancer. So be to be on the safe side, my parents and I decided to have it removed again. I had my first when I was in 1st year college, 2nd in 4th year college and 3rd four years ago.
My doctor did a Mammotome procedure just like what they did four years ago. It's more high-tech since they don't have to slice it open. They just insert what looks like a metal straw like tube. Once the wound has healed, it won't be that visible. It can be done using a local or general anesthesia. For my procedure, since they have to remove 3 cysts, my doctor advised me to take the general anesthesia. I was sleeping like a baby during the whole operation and woke-up in the recovery room after 3 hours.

It's been 3 weeks since my operation but I still feel pain every once in a while. I guess the wound hasn't totally healed yet since it's inside but the pain is tolerable.The result is again benign, which is a good thing! I now have to get my breast check every 6 months.
Below is a step by step way on how to self-examine your breasts for lumps. Don't be scared if you feel anything, just make sure you visit your doctor for a more professional examination. They'll advise you on what the next step will be. :)
I cannot get over this song. It's so beautiful. Florence Welch is so unreal. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song.
Ever since I was a child
I've turned it over in my mind
I sang by the piano
Tore my yellow dress and
Cried and cried and cried
And I don't want to see what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come, come
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
On this champagne-drunken home
Against the current of gold
Everybody see I love him
'Cause it's the feeling that you get
When the afternoon is set
On the bridge into the city
I don't want to see what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come
There's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
'Cause your're a hard soul to save
With an ocean in the way
But I'll get around it
'Cause your’re a hard soul to save
With an ocean in the way
But I'll get around it
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
(I can see the green light
I can see it in your eyes)
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
I can see the green light
I can see it in your eyes
Watched The Great Gatsby with mommy dearest today. I don't know if I was just expecting so much but I was a little disappointed with the plot. I was expecting more twists and turns. It was a bit dragging at the beginning. I know it's their way of trying to build his character but it fell short towards the end. I wanted to know more about him. Or is it just me wanting more Leo?
The story is quite sad. It's very much like Romeo and Juliet but unlike that movie the girl didn't choose him. He lived a very sad life. When he was poor he had no one. And when he became rich, he still had no one. He basically lived his life with the vision that someday he will get to spend it all with Daisy. He already set his mind that it will happen. And when it didn't, well, it's just heartbreaking. :(
For me, the movie shows that if you believe in something so much. If you want something so bad, you can achieve it. The major word here is "thing". Because no matter how rich you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can't repeat the past.
Another thing that I enjoyed about the movie aside from Leonardo DiCaprio's nervousness in meeting Daisy for the the first time is the feel of the movie. It's flamboyant, extravagant and GLITZY! The director Baz Luhrmann is famous for these type of films. He directed Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby has the same feel to it. I actually want to watch it again in 3D.
The fashion is also something that I expected to see. Their gowns, dresses and Tiffany jewelries to be specific are to die for! It makes me want to be a rich girl living in the 1920's. Let me just bring out my sequined dresses and pearls! haha!
There's no question Leonardo DiCaprio is one amazing actor! Carrie
Mulligan has never looked better! She looked like she was brought back
from the 1920's to play this movie. And I almost didn't recognize Isla Fisher!
I'm a big music fan and I enjoyed the soundtrack quite a bit. I particularly love the scene wherein they crossed the Brooklyn bridge and Jay-Z's H to the Izzo's song played. I also love how they made those modern song sound like 20's music. One of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack is Lana Del Ray's Young and Beautiful. You just know I'll be downloading the soundtrack!
This Salicylic Peel Therapy from Beauty Med. is one of my go to products during a break out or when removing those unwanted pimple marks. I have tried a lot of peeling products out there and this is one of the best that I have tried so far that's why I'm sticking to it! Unlike chemical peel, it doesn't hurt. The peeling is also not that visible.
It's best for acne prone skin, helps reduce visible acne signs and is recommended for oily skin.
Although it is quite expensive, it can last for a really long time. Plus, you can do it at the comfort of your own home instead of having that weekly trip to the derma that will cost you about Php1500-2000 per visit. Ask your dermatologist about it since I don't think it is available over the counter.
I love this Forever 21 Leopard print pumps. It brings attitude to any boring outfit. I usually pair it with a plain dress. It's very comfortable and the heels are not so high so I can wear it all day. From work to play If I may say so myself. Plus, I bought it on sale!
I must be living under a rock because I just heard this song yesterday and I immediately fell in-love with it! One of my summer songs for sure! I cannot wait to hit the beach again!
It's May 22 and what song is stuck in my head you ask? No other than Taylor Swifts' 22. Haha! Yesterday was Selena and now it's Taylor. Talk about Pop galore! haha!
This song makes me want to be 22 again! Well, I am 22 at heart anyway. :)
So my parents and I are planning to build a new house and I'm in-charge of the interior decorating. If I can't pursue it as a career I might as well do it in our own house. According to the architect, the design will be a Balinese type house. Therefore, it's should be minimalist. It's a simple house good for 3 people. I am particularly concern about how my bedroom will look like. I already requested to have my own walk-in closet and bathroom. Here are the design ideas I found online.
I love how the walk-in closet is connected to the bathroom and the mirrored closet doors doors.
Going with the mirrored closet doors, I want to own a mirrored side table as well. I just don't know where to get it here in the Philippines.
As for the color palette, I'm thinking of warm beige and dark browns just like the first picture. It's very soothing and relaxing. I need a bedroom I can relax after a long day at work most especially when I have problems sleeping. I can't wait to start decorating!!!!
It's pop and catchy. -I'm addicted! Selena Gomez' songs are really nice but it's sad that she can't sing well live. :( I love it nonetheless. Take a listen.
