Nars Make-up Workshop with Janice Daoud and Dinner Date with Iza

Last March 21, 2014 my bff since college Iza and I went to this make-up workshop organized by NARS it was held at Edsa Shangri-La, Manila. We took the last slot of the event which is 6pm-7pm. We arrived early so we took the chance to snap pictures of ourselves. Gosh, I so miss this pretty lady. Woot, woot!

The guest speaker is Ms. Janice Daoud, one of the famous make-up artists in Hollywood who work with Kim Kardashian (the only name that I remembered because they have a resemblance) and other popular stars.

She teaches us some tips & tricks on beauty regimen, applying foundation, concealer and contouring. There is no dull moment with her because she’s so pro-active, funny and she’s passionate with her job!

I forgive and I learn. Maybe in God's time I will forget all the bad memories but for the meantime I will stay strong and put my mask on.

My Sebaceous Cyst (before the Operation)

I went through another surgery last March 1, 2014 at Makati Medical Centre. It is my second under the knife experience after my first operation on my left eye to remove the chalazion on my upper lid. Luckily the two operations that I had are not major one.

Anyhow, I had my sebaceous cyst remove in left lower side of my back. I had it 3 years ago but didn't take necessary actions because I am lazy to go to the doctor (my fault). Back then it is very small and not painful to touch but last month the cyst got infected. Here's the picture of my sebaceous cyst for your reference:

I panicked and went to the general surgeon to have that thing checked. The doctor advised me to undergo an operation so that it will not become worst and it will not grow bigger! To be honest I am very scared when he told me that. At the back of my mind I am thinking "I don’t want to have another surgery".

When I was still waiting in the line outside his clinic I was hoping I can get rid of the cyst by taking medications but I was wrong. So anyway I had to choose and I decided give the operation a go. I will post another blog entry about how's my operation went through so stay tune for that.

Thoughts

I have a bad headache right now and I can’t think of the right things to do. I can’t focus. I am really depressed and frustrated. I feel like I have no future. Oh I don’t want to feel this dark negativity on myself but the thought lingers on my mind. I want to do something to prevent or stop this but I can’t. I want to let go but I am holding back because of my obligations to my family. Being the eldest daughter among my two siblings is hard. My father’s compensation is too small for our daily needs. He’s an alcoholic and he has this bad temper when he’s drunk. I hate him but at the same time I love him because without him I can’t go to school and have a decent job that I have right now. My mom is a plain housewife. She’s sweet and caring but sometimes she’s lazy to an extent that she will make stories favourable to her to sneak away from doing household chores. I love my mom so much and I believe I am her favourite daughter. Hehe. I hope I can have an extra job to help maximize our monetary budget every month. I also love my two lovely sisters. They are my source of joy when I felt bad at the office, I have a fight with my boyfriend or anything that’s bother me. We often quarrel sometimes but we easily fix our differences fast! I love my family so much although we’re not that rich. We may have problems but hey I am not complaining about it because I know we can survive it through the rain.

At Rest

My life has been complicated lately. I am tired and burn out because of work that I want a breath of fresh air. I want to take a one month vacation off of work perhaps I will go to the the beach or somewhere quiet place. I want to soak under the sun and let the time pass by without worrying about report deadlines, analysis and presentations. I just want to chill out, loose myself but because I have no budget yet-- I might take asylum on my bed. Good night Manila.

Unaided

I cannot contend how the blues got me wary

I cannot think of the right words to say

Maybe because I was left there in the dark, shallow water

Or was it my decision why I was there. Alone

I promise not to cry but tears just keep on rolling down my eyes

Tinge of red is everywhere. I scream on that gloomy side.

I’m feeling a bit of a Monday blues

Thank God I am not late today or got stuck in the traffic on my way to work. I even successfully beat the alarm by waking up early! Yayy, for me. I want to gush about it and tap myself at the back because it rarely happens. LOL. A little update I now know my weight because last Friday I took the annual physical examination test. It is a requirement in my current work right now to secure that we are in a good health and err in good shape too. I am a bit afraid about the result because I have a problem before with my chest X-ray. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be a good result. I will update my blog about it. Ciao!

This and That

I want to buy something nice for myself today. I want to buy Chelsea boots, BB cream from The Body Shop, a nice lipstick from Revlon, new tops & shirts and oh I also want to colour my hair. Long pause then sigh. If only I have enough budget to buy these stuff. Huhu. Being a broke girl isn’t a good thing. I wish I have a money tree. Arghhh. I need to earn extra money. Whininggg.
