What's in my bag?

First of all, I have to admit that I am not a beauty writer. If not for my job, I wouldn't be as exposed to beauty blogs, which quite frankly, I've come to appreciate and enjoy. This is my modest attempt to create a "beauty" entry of some sort.

So how did I actually arrive at the idea of attempting to make one? Well one day, while I was rummaging through my bag for something, I realized how much stuff I carry in my bag. More often than not, when I ask someone (particularly guys) to hold my bag for me for even just a second, they instantly complain how heavy my bag is and wonder why the heck does my bag weigh a ton. Not to mention that I commute every day going to work, which includes a train ride and a 10-15 minute walk.

Anyway, so I've decided to prove that everything inside my bag has a purpose, that's why it's "heavy." I am a bit surprised myself as to how much I could actually stuff inside my rather small handbag.

So, let's find out what's in my red Longchamp bag!



The "Essential" Stuff

Believe me when I say that I need these to survive my day-to-day. I don't have to explain as to why I "need" these:









The "Kikay" Kit

I refuse to be called kikay because I really am not. I even sometimes come and leave work without makeup on. I apply makeup only when I "have to" or when I feel like it. But over time, I began to understand women's fascination with makeup. And so, I bring with me, again, the "essential" makeup that I would be needing for work.





So yeah, basically that's it! Believe it or not, all of these fit in that tiny bag!

Having Pen to thank for :)

I don't blog. But my friend, Pen (though not intentionally) showed me the 'upsides' of keeping a blog. When I saw her blog, it made me want to document simple random thoughts because then you'd have something to look back to. I'm not the type who writes off emotions and everyday happenings but hey, who said I couldn't change that? So here I am trying to put my writing skills to the test and start putting my life in words! ^_^

A Date with The Phantom

Image
Sister date. :) Since I was in college, when I first watched the movie adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, I had already fallen in love with it, to the point where I watched it over and over until I memorized every dialogue and note of the whole play. That was where my love for musical theater was born. I became obsessed with the play, captivated perhaps by The Phantom himself. Over the years, it has remained to be one of my favorite musicals of all time (the only one that topped this is in my list is Les Miserables). That's why when I first heard of rumors of its imminent staging in the Philippines, I knew that I HAD to watch this and couldn't miss this for the world. It was a dream come true, so surreal. Much like when a little girl who has always dreamed of becoming a Disney princess gets to meet "Cinderella" or "Belle" in Disneyland (poor analogy, but you get the idea). From the moment the orchestra played the overture, tears fell from...

A Thing or Two I Learned During My First Taping Experience

Second to the last sequence of the day. Clearly, I did not know what I signed up for when I agreed to play a 'minor role' in a Maalaala Mo Kaya Episode. A friend texted me if I wanted to become an 'extra/talent' for an MMK episode. Perhaps the reason why I did not have apprehensions and immediately said 'yes' was because of the magic word: 'Piolo'. Heck, I didn't even ask where the location would be and how much I will be paid for! Piolo Pascual, albeit suspicions of his sexuality, has been my showbiz crush for the longest time, and doing a scene with him was a dream come true. I was told that the PA will contact me regarding the call time and the wardrobe for the said shoot. And he did, at a very inconvenient time: while I was in the moviehouse watching X-men: First Class, at past 12 in the morning. Call time was 4 effin AM. Which meant we had like barely 2 hours to sleep. My sister did, but I wasn't able to because of excitement. But li...
