Yesterday :)

hey, hey! I got to watch FAME last night...:) It took me back to my Performing Arts Workshop days :) Yup, I do loooove to act, sing, and dance! haha There's a Filipina actress there too! Her name's Anna Perez de Tagle! Horaaay for Filipinas!

Then I ate dinner with mom, dad and my bro at Itallani's YUM! Pizza! woooohoooo! I bought some stuff at Watson's. I ran out of Moisturizer, so I got the Nivea Sparkling White day cream. You should really try this product! The cream really looks rich, but when you massage it to your skin, it sinks in soooo easily! It does not leave my face oily either since I've got Sensitive/Combination skin.

I love taking care of my hair too! So I bought a virgin coconut hair serum and guess what, its buy 1 take 1 deal! how cool is THAT?! I just started using this today, and It does not leave my hair super oily. Just the right amount of moisture and shine that I need. I only need like a small amout of product ( roughly just about a size of a 1 peso coin ) and I apply it on the tips of my hair, then if there's excess product left in my hands, I put in the roots.

Then the last product that I bought is a nail polish remover.


Oh by the way, I'm really sorry that I don't have photos of the stuff that I bought, eeerrrr...My camera's busted :'( Its either I'll have it fixed or I'll try to buy a new one....

for my next shopping trip, I'll be buying Maybellene Mineral Powder since I'm running out of it and probably a nice mascara ( let me know which brand is really good )

workout, diet!

Been on a diet for almost 3 months now. I love,love,love to eat! My metabolism's pretty fast so I hardly gain weight. But even if I hardly gain weight, being in the modeling industry, I still have to look taller than my 5'3" frame during photo shoots, as Tyra Banks would say " You would not want them to give you any excuse not to hire you" so I thought of going through a diet. A healthy one! I go to the gym once a week ( or if time permits me to ) or I do my on " on the go" workout. Anyhow, I'll be stating some of the stuff that I eat and do to maintain my figure and to tone up more.

Morning:

I usually get up, take take a shower, do my skincare routine. Then I eat oatmeal, hot chocolate and plain yoghurt for breakfast. Then I rest for about 15 mins. after eating ( read a book/watch youtube videos/watch TV ) after resting, I go straight up to my room and clean up all the clutter..( That's an on the go workout ) Cleaning up my room does wonders to my arms and legs! ( The next time your mom asks you to clean up your room, think of it as a workout )


Afternoon:

I usually eat a bit heavy for lunch, it's usually pasta anything with a cup of rice ( I'm asian! ). Then, at around 3pm or so, I go and work on my core...I do 100-200 crunches. Then rest again and hit the shower.

Night:

If I'm from school or a modeling gig I get usually too tired to eat so I end up drinking a glass of milk instead. But if I'm not too tired though, I'd have soup and salad for dinner... Then at around 9pm I'll go and do 100 leg raises for each leg then rest for 15 mins. and then hit the shower and to my skincare routine.


Well, I eat whatever I want to but in moderation. I cut on eating sweets and junkfood so I'd turn up to an alternative which is yoghurt and wheat crackers with tuna for snacks/dessert. I also load up on fruits!


That's all for now!

Much love y'all!:)
