Fake nail polish???

I was browsing through multiply earlier searching for an E-tailer of quality nail polishes.Then I stumbled upon this page,it had a TRUSTED SELLER badge from multiply so I checked it out with confidence.But when I opened one of the thumbnails here's the intro I got instead...........

kalerky!!! Has any of you heard or read about this before?Is this really a fake?Because I know that with cellphones when they say its a "China phone" it means that its a replica.Is it the same with this?Feel free to leave a comment please if you know something about this. Thanks!

K-fever!

I couldn't remember when it all started but I know that my K-fever started with Boys Over Flowers. I didn't get to watch it while it was airing on ABS CBN because I already saw Meteor Garden and eventhough I loved it, I was pretty sure it  has the same story and all.My best friend was watching it on DVD,then I got hooked!I watched the whole series in just 2 days.I felt like I was part of the story and I was the lead girl.LOL.seriously.It was a weekend of kilig and fantasy.A couple of months after, the BOF fever had died down.I stopped using their pictures as my wallpaper.I stopped researching about the uber-cute actors.Back to my normal life.

And then I've accidentally discovered this series on cable. It was about a girl caught in the middle between her father's wishes to marry his old friend's son(who's rich and will pay all their debt) and a love developed overtime with an independent rock band leader that started by pretending that they are married.Its a simple sotyr line but its entertaining.I loved each of the characters.There's no bad guy/good guy. Its about living your life as much as you can and how to work around compromised situations in life.And of course,the kilig factor is at maximum!hehehe...Just like that,my K-fever is hotter than ever!I started listening and researching on Korean boy bands and K-pop.50% of the songs on my Ipod now is K-pop LOL.

Kang Mu Gyul (Jang Geun Suk) and Wi  Mary (Moon Geun Young)

This is one of my favorite scenes, this is when the three of them realized that its no longer a game pretensions for all three of them.

                               

And here's two of my fave K-pop boy bands......2pm and Super Junior (I feel bad that I didn't know about Super Junior when they had a concert here before). I've also posted my fave video so far of Super Junior.Hope you'll like it too. :)

If there any of you out there who are also into the K-fever,leave me a message.I would love to know people who's into it,too. :)


P.S.

I am now preparing a trip to Korea and I'll be registering for a language class.Wish me luck! (^_^)

My current fave books

I saw the movie version last year and I didn't like it that much.It was just okay. Nothing special, nothing amazing about it. Just last month, I've decided to read the book series. I fell in love with it! The books shows the magical world of Mythology. The author made me feel that I am part of the hero's quest. Which is something that the producers of the movie failed to do.I am reading the second book now and I hope it won't disappoint. 

This book is a continuation of the Percy Jackson book series but its about a different hero, Jason. This book offers more mystery and magic. Can't wait for the second book to come out. No news yet about that so far.

I'm currently into "anything Korean", especially drama and music. Its one of my guilty pleasures and I simply love it! It started about 2yrs ago when I started watching Boys Over Flowers. The boys are just gorgeous! I'd be a hypocrite if I'd say that my fantasy didn't include those boys and me being the leading lady.LOL. But it only lasted for a few months and only up to spending hours on the net to search for their pictures. My K-fever was revived last month when I accidentally watched a K-drama on KBS Global, Marry Me, Mary! was the title. It was just out of boredom and insomnia that I continued watching it. Then I got hooked. The story (for me) was cute and romantic. The main cast were so adorable! I will tell you more about my K-fever in the few days.

I'm here now about my new fave book, Popped! Its written by a local author and its about four girl BFFs that   were all into K-pop. The sisterhood was unexpected. They had different traits and personalities. But their love for K-pop brought them together and in the end, they've created a bond that helped each of them make their wildest dreams come true. A bond that's non-judgmental and brought the best out of each of them.Its a fun and romantic read.It made me realize my "2nd life dream",to go to Korea and to have my own adventure! I wish I have a friend or someone to share my K-fever though.That would be more fun.Now,I'm hoping I'd be able to create bonds lie that along the way.I definitely recommend that you read this book!

Paper Cuts book launch

After a month of being quiet, I apologize for just posting again just now. The good 'ole bad habit of "katamaran" struck me again and depression came along too.hahaha...anyway,I'm back and please send me good vibes.


You all know my story about being an ex-nail-biter and that its only been recently that I had a change of heart. It was about 3rd quarter of last year that I had the urge to suddenly get nail extensions. A few days after, I've chanced upon an article in a newspaper about the author's obsession with nail polish. She made it sound to me that its something that even me can enjoy. I've always had really . . . really short fingernails and they were not just short but they were crooked and had ridges. I felt ashamed if someone would see them and its not good to have so many insecurities,right? So,the same day,after my shift. I went straight to SM Makati and bought 3 or 4 bottles of nail polish. The author of the article I read had a blog and I checked it out. I had fun reading her blog and she inspired me. She was an ex-nail-biter too so I guess I was able to relate myself to her posts. Her name's Pam Pastor and I love her! She launched her first book last January 28 and of course I didn't pass the chance to see her in person.

My two friends who accompanied me to the book launch Pat and Iris,who blackmailed me to buy them a copy of the book.hehehe...Love u guys!

Collection of Colors

Etude House OR204

I love this color. Its not a blinding bright orange,just enough to draw attention.But i had a difficult time applying it though,it became thicker in the latter part of the application.I don't know,maybe its just me.Maybe I need more practice.But my sister said its not a flattering color for me,it makes my complexion seem darker than it is.In Tagalog,"nakakaitim". :(  now I'm having doubts na of wearing it again.But still I'm gonna wear it again,keber!hehehe... I love orange! 

Same color as my friend's digicam hehehe...

and here are the bottles I've bought from Sol. Alot of bloggers say that Milani Teddy bear is dupe for Chanel Jade.I can't say it is because I don't own any Chanel nail polish yet hehehe...But I love the color still...so minty!

Orly Space Cadet, CG Reggae to Riches, Milani Teddy Bear

Bottles I've bought from Ebay that I have yet got the chance to try. But Wet N' Wild Lust is a rich shimmer pink.Will post the swatch soon.





Then here's the bottles sent by my aunt. I haven't tried these yet too but I am loving the Revlon top coat. It dries really fast, what more if its their quick-dry top coat?

Here's ESSIE Pretty Edgy, everyone in my team liked this shade of green.

And here's ESSIE 5th Ave. For me, it looks like orangey-red inside the bottle but when it applied looks a bright red.I don't know! I just know that its a pretty shade of red hehehe....

Deborah Lippman Wicked Game, my first bottle for this brand of nail polish. I wish there was a camera that catch the real color of this gorgeous bottle.Its subtle yet its vibrant.Even my guy friend liked this color. :) Will post more pictures for this later.




By the way, I find my cuticles dark.It makes wearing a light nail polish color difficult.pumapanget.Can any of you suggest any remedy for it?I'm now using Lush Lemony Flutter to moisturize my cuticles.pls help!!!

Quick Post #1

I've been busy these past couple or three weeks since my cleaning lady has gone MIA on me plus one of my aunts from US is in town.I'm just dropping by for a quick and important post. I'm a Bruno Mars fan and I just love his music.I also love how he describes his music, "It's better if you don't understand; just listen and have a good time." A man of few words.sigh.I've been checking his website and the internet for the past week since I've heard from a friend that he'll be having a concert here in Manila.But I found nothing.Until today.I'm so psyched!I'll be filing for leave first thing in the morning for this date.hehehe....

I heart Bruno Mars! (^_^)

Friday night out at Star City

Being in the call center industry is quite toxic at times and very stressful most of the time. Foreign customers would yell at you over the phone. sometimes they also curse and discriminate us. Although its nothing personal but still it would get to you sometimes. You try to ignore it because its the company that they really are frustrated and upset with but we're only human and its in our nature to retaliate when we are being attacked. Not to mention the industry is numbers driven. You have to think and click fast! And because of the difference in work schedule, we don't have a normal life. I'm blessed that I got into a company that caters to the AU market, hence day shift. And I'm even more blessed to be part of a training batch that is full of people with different personalties. I've always believed that your training batch would always be your original family in the company. These people make my life at the office more fun and bearable. 

We went to Star City last Friday night after work to unwind and let loose. It was tiring but it was worth it. I had so much fun and felt like a kid again. We had fun riding all those "buwis-buhay rides" (life threatening rides,hehehe...) and it was memorable. Can't wait to celebrate our first year anniversary in the company. :)

Picture taking in the office while waiting for the others

Raisa likes nail polish too but in red hehehe....

Fueling up before hitting the rides

We were too scared to try the Star Flyer (a roller coaster ride where your feet are dangling in mid-air) so we just took pictures while waiting for the brave ones

Waiting for our turn for the classic Bump Cars

We hit all the rides that we can, including Lazer Blaster, and our batts are just empty.Tired but enjoyed every second of it.



What a way to end the week! hope we'd have this every month, I know i need one. And in case you wanted to know, I'm wearing Ethude House GR601 for my pedi and Wet N' Wild Caze "lust" for my mani.
