Hair 2012: Light vs Dark

Today I woke up wanting to shave my hair off. It had been terribly unruly... kinda sexy but it was bugging me so much. So I decided to dye it so dark I now look like I've been casted for Twilight. FML!

Product used to achieve a provincial Bella Swan look is none other than 4.0 DARK BROWN hair coloring cream from Hortaleza and a 6% developer... all for less than Php300!

Oh well... it looks black after the first wash, maybe it will lighten a bit after a few more washes. But that's okay, I'm kinda feeling this whole new look now anyway. Totally different from the last one!

Twifuckinglight I say!
(Sorry, not a fan!)

And my son looked at me today as if to say...

So which do you think is better? Light or dark?

How To: Wear Men's Shirts!

beauty

I know it's been quite a while since I've posted anything interesting in my blog. Motherhood has really been quite a challenge. That and working more so I can pay for the additional expenses in my household. Nothing gargantuan but I oh so need more than 24 hours in a day!!!

Anyway, since it's Sinulog in Cebu right now and again, we weren't able to go for obvious reasons, the guys decided to celebrate anyway. So here we are at SALA Lounge + Cafe's Patio + Bar.

Nothing like RH on a rainy night.

Xiang, her Winter drink (a blue kamikaze pitcher), and sisig!

Of course, since I couldn't drink yet, I had to settle for Coke and jokes tonight. The interesting part though is discovering HOW TO WEAR MEN'S SHIRTS! Because now I wear 30 lbs more than I usually do, I battle with my closet every day trying to find something to wear that actually fits me! From a size 4 to a size 10!? GET OUTTA HERE!

However, here's the really cool thing.

So... what do you think?

Complete instructions on how to wear this in HERE. Okay so it's an old technique.. but hey, I could really use all of Noodle Boy's shirts for this! HAHAHA! Weeeeee!

The start of a great year, I know.

The New Year didn't just usher the whole new 365 days, but I received yet another wonderful prize. Okay, Santa was a little late sending me the gift I asked, but the good people at Pizza Hut made sure it was "safely shipped". And by safe... they weren't kidding!

You've got to hand it to LBC. They're my most preferred courier here in the Philippines.

I got this for the blog post I wrote for Supremo, one of Pizza Hut's Tuscany pizza flavors. We had a great time making that entry and now having so much fun playing with the prize.

It's the 3G model of the iPad 2. I can't wait to test the internet speed of Smart once I get my hands on their microsim. Hopefully, it's available here in my area.

Big thanks also to my mother- and father-in-law for bringing us the pizza all the way from Cebu so we can join the contest. Also to Carl, the little boy, who was the lone caroler. :) Honestly, that kid loved the pizza... even with all the vegetables in it! I mean, when I was little, I always steered clear from those types of toppings. It's only now that I'm an adult that I appreciate the burst of flavors from all sorts of different toppings in my pizza. To Mianne, our cashier for taking the photos. And last but not the least, my Noodle Boy for adding melody into the words of the song I wrote.
