So Sorry

Sorry for the lack of updates and bloghopping--we've been real busy because my mother-in-law is here.

I'll post some more pics later on. But here are some for now:

I'll visit your blogs soon, I promise!

White Perfect

I've always had problems with dark circles under my eyes. I mean, even if I have a good night sleep, I still look stressed out hahaha. They said it's generic. My kids have it, too.

I've been using L'OREAL WHITE PERFECT for a month now. It didn't entirely erase the dark circles but it did fade it out a bit. You only put a tiny drop on each eye every day. It also have SPF15-- which is awesome!

The results are not immediate but it does work. I got this on sale at a local grocery store back in Utah. It was on sale for only $6.99. I have no idea what the full price was. Sorry!

My eldest daughter, RAYE, singing YOU SHOULD'VE SAID NO at the Singing Stars Annual Event. She was really holding herself back in this performance. She said she was very scared hahahaha! But usually at home, she sings more heartily.

Time flies by...

Time did fly super fast this year! Imagine in a few weeks it's gonna be my birthday again! Gasp! It felt like I just celebrated a few months ago...has it really been a year already?!

Here are photos of my last birthday bash held at The Thirsty Monkey.

Cheap But Fab Lipstick

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick. 

About $5 at most drugstores/groceries.

Here are the 3 shades I bought:

AIRY FAIRY, PARADISE, and CELEB

*click photos to enlarge*

Airy Fairy (Pink Nude)

Paradise (Coppery Hue)

Celeb (Barbie Pink)

For $5 I highly recommend this product.

I actually want to go back and try out some of their other colors.

Ballet Princess

Since my original wordpress blog had to deleted (if you remember, for some reason I could not access it!) all my old posts and photos had to be deleted, too!

My new friends here at blogger have not seen most of those entries and so I decided to share them here (even though they are not current). I hope you guys don't mind!

This was taken during Jenica's Princess Ballet Camp this last summer. She really enjoyed it! Since they are all 2-3 years old, there was a lot of crying and temper tantrums, though! Hahahahaha

Wow, I just noticed how grainy the photos are when I upload it using blogger photos! I use a DSLR camera so it should be really clear...maybe I should try uploading it using links on flickr. But it's too much work and I'm lazy hahahaha!

Girls Talk: Fave Dress

Ok, girls! It's time of the week again for our "FAVES". 

This week, the topic is all about dresses or tops.

Here's mine:

This was early this year during my younger sister's birthday (she's wearing the purple dress). 

It was held at SHINE MARTINI LOUNGE in Texas.

See more of beautiful dresses at NIKOGANDA's site!

Review: CLINIQUE

So I have been using Clinique Superbalanced Powder Makeup SPF 15 Mineral Rich Formula for a few weeks now and so far I absolutely love it! It's not as drying as other mineral foundations I have used and it provides decent coverage. It comes in a cute package and I love how "clean" it is because you twist it to shave the powder off. So the powder is not all over the place.

It's definitely a FAB find and I highly recommend it to those who like mineral make-up.

Meet TOBY.

We found a new puppy to love! His name is TOBY! Pretty fitting since he looks so much like a "toby" I dunno why hahahaha plus we got him OCTOBER so tamang-tama ang Toby ;)

We took him home a couple of nights ago and I am still trying to potty-train him (what a nightmare! hahahaha)

Here are his first photos:

*In reply to some of the posts, yes, it's unfortunate that a sweet labrador like Zeus (Zooey as the kids called him) turned aggressive :( I think it might be because we moved a lot the past 1.5 years that he was with us. We moved to 3 different states during that time and it might be unsettling for him kaya nagkaganoon sya. Different environments and he couldn't cope. But that's just my theory.*

Quest: Looking for a new family dog

As some of you may know, we had a family dog named ZEUS.
He is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever.

We got him while he was still a puppy. Loved him. Unfortunately, he became aggressive. The kids did not even want to go near him or play with him anymore. So after a year and a half of having him, we sadly needed to let him go. For the safety of my kids and the neighbors' kids. We miss him dearly.

Now, I am in search of a new family pet to love and cherish! Jay and I decided not to get a big dog anymore (we couldn't even control Zeus anymore when he got so big!).

I am not much of a toy dog person but I think it'll be easier for us to take care of a small dog. With all the moving and traveling we do, it has been so difficult bringing Zeus with us through all our journeys. I think a smaller dog will be more travel-friendly.

Our new house also has a smaller backyard so a big dog will not have enough space to run around and play.

I hope I find a new puppy before the month ends. Before it starts getting colder. It'll be hard to housebreak a puppy when they don't want to go outside to pee/poop because of the cold.

Also, I don't want to spend too much money on a puppy. My price range is $100-$300 only and that's gonna be difficult because I know how expensive it is to buy a puppy :(

Wish me luck!

Updates

I haven't been feeling too good lately, I don't know why. Stress, probably.

Also, there's been a bug that's been going around. Raye is already sick, she didn't go to school for a few days so she could just stay home and rest. But that also means I have to stay home to take care of her. I already missed an important Lab last Wednesday :(

Hopefully, wag mahawaan yung dalawang maliit. I told them not to go near their Ate too much. Mahirap na.

Anyways, just want to post some pics that I haven't shared with my friends here at blogspot.

Enjoy!
