For Sale: Nissin Mark II Di866 Flash

I have this Nissin flash unit given to me by my parents last year which they thought I needed but sadly don't... so I decided to sell it instead of it just lying around my room. It IS second hand but BARELY USED. I used this thing thrice since I got it. It is pretty much almost brand new. Here's a photo of the actual unit:

The price I'm selling it at is very much negotiable. Check the link for details HERE. :) 

Velvet Nails

For the longest time on the internet I've been seeing these velvet nail posts from Ciate and some other brands and I think they're sooo glam. I think velvet in itself is pretty glamorous, imagine them on your nails!! 

Anywho, of course everybody's heard about the caviar nails, (also popularized by Ciate), and I've yet to try those too. So yesterday I went to Quiapo with my mom to get stuff framed and I happened to come across this nail art store that sells probably absolutely everything you can put on your nails. They have the fake Ciate ones (that I honestly dont mind lol) but they were out of colors but then I saw that they also had those powdered velvet for the nails so I got myself some!

I bought them in 3 colors: maroon, forest green, black (because I think velvet looks best in those rich colours) it would probably look a bit tacky in lighter colors. They had them in small containers like these! Also I bought the caviar ones which I'd be posting once I get to use them. :) 

This is the one that I have (below) 

I figured Ill make a short tutorial on this, in case you wanted to try it out for yourself. It's pretty much a no-brainer, but it's a bit tedious.

You will need:

*Velvet powder
*Similar color of normal (glossy) polish
*A small brush

1. Apply the normal polish on your nails 

2. IMMEDIATELY after, carefully pour on the powdered velvet on top of the wet polish.  
DO NOT pat on it, it will smudge the wet polish on your nails and make the velvet look flat. Leave it alone, crazy woman!

lol thats basically it. your nails will look all fuzzy like this hihi

Clean around your nails with a soft brush (small make up brush will do) 

OKAY i suck at photographing this but i promise it looks better in real life!!!

Cebu 2013

It's been a while since I posted anything in here. To be honest I forgot I had this blog but anyway I'm back and I probably just update you on what I did last April. (Not that it concerns any of you lol) But yeah, last April I went to Cebu with my friends (my beloved homiez) and it was a ton of fun! We were there for 4 days/ 3 nights and it was pretty awesome.

Much of our trip wasn't planned, aside from accommodations, we graced Cebu with caprice and just did whatever we felt like doing. That said, I could say that we DID eat A LOT. Here's a picture from day 1, where we went to Tops, it's like the Tagaytay of Cebu and we tried this al fresco (of course duh) restaurant/grill which had really good BUT CHEAP FOOD. What's not to looove omg. It rained a bit that day so this picture looks a bit gloomy. The place is called Lantaw, btw. I don't know why some  photos are coming out blurry :|

Can't not have Jeje shots 

After day 1 I couldn't really remember things chronologically but basically the next three days were spent going around the city, sight-seeing, resto/bar hopping, and playing cards and loud music in the hotel room

We had an underwater/waterproof camera with us so that was pretty cool. This bunch of my barkada, we 're pretty much water babies and we always, ALWAYS go to the beach! Last time we went surfing in Zambales (i should also post that) basically most of our bonding happens in the beach! Because life's a beach. (just had to put that out there) Here're some from the day we went island hopping. 

Austin, polluting the ocean hahaha 

FOOD!!! Seafood overload 

Spot the photobomber

Look at that view!  Also, this is supposedly a beach, but unfortunately it was high tide when we were there but still pretty awesome. Look at the super white sand they were standing on 

This was taken in the pool of our 3rd day hotel. We literally
spent hours in the pool just talking about life (u know because
that's what adults do) lel 

In front of Mactan Shrine where Lapu-lapu and Magellan fought, apparently


PS. Here are some from the Skywalk Extreme at our hotel some 400+ feet above the ground. Pretty scary!! 


   

LOOK BELOW WHERE WE'RE SITTING 

Here are some photos from my iphone 

with the bff Win! <3 

During one of our stops island hopping. I forgot what the island was called. but it sure was Para-para-PARADISE! 

Basilica de Sto. Nino, I believe (?) not sure 

Pretty much it! I would post more, but I wouldn't. Ha ha.

Instax

Last November I finally gave into buying a Fujifilm Instax camera because online shopping has been so convenient and tempting huhuhu. (I wasn't a believer of online shopping but after my recent purchases, I realized things lol)

Only recently have I been able to actually use it because the film took a while to arrive. @_@ Im so happy with it though! I got this as a gift for myself haha. The film is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it! Also, I was able to get a hold of the rainbow film which is hard to come by so YAY! <3 Im using the classic white ones for now and they're cool too 

Some of the photos Ive taken.. I cant seem to find the others.. :| Dont forget to get yourself something this Christmas!  :)

Kisses, 

❤ Khim ❤ 

Candy polish!

Im finally baaaaack! The past few weeks have been sooo busy acads-wise and just work in general.. so I haven't really had enough freetime to post anything.. that and probably also not having any idea what to post. :\ 

 Anywhooooo, today I went to 168 with my mom to buy a Christmas costume for something (lol) and I came across these yummy nail polish colors! If you haven't seen my very first post, where I also posted something about nail polish, I'm not at all brand conscious when it comes to nail polish because I change polish very frequently so it doesn't really matter to me if they chip easy (not saying that cheap ones do.. I honestly don't see a difference). This is I think a generic nail polish brand because it just says 'LM nail polish' haha. They're so pretty and so cheap! I will forever be a cheapskate! Also, from years and years of buying nail polish, I learned that if you love the color, BUY IT! Especially when the colors are hard to find, totes worth the envy of people who can't find the same colors hehe

 

So which color do you like the most? :) I don't really know which one to use first yet but we'll see hihi. Hope everyone's enjoying their break because apparently I can't yet! :( Happy holidays! :D

Kisses,

Christmas wishlist 2012!

Okay so I just came from Cyouth fellowship (youth fellowship I attend every Saturday-come join us! hihi) and it's kind of ironic how I'm about to post my Christmas wishlist when just a while ago we talked about being content........ :| It's not that I learned nothing from the message.. I figured since it's the 1st of December I'd post something Christmas-related haha (excuses) ANYWAYYY I just wanted to share this information (in case you'd want to give me these for Christmas) ;> These are just some stuff on the top of my head... I do hope some people get  me these!

1. Pink flats!

 Preferably shiny ROUND hot pink ones or whatever pink this is.. 

   

2. Instax mini rainbow film! 

these are sooo difficult to come by and they're a tad more expensive than the plain white ones but they're so cuuute! I don't mind getting the white ones tho, classic!

3. Chunky watches

 For a while now I've been eyeing this big black gshock watch with the gold accent.. And I have been lusting over big chunky classic gold watches too like this 

 

5. iPhone cases in pastel or candy colors (plain)

I have seriously gotten over my iphone case obsession but then again I wouldn't mind receiving these cute plain ones. I've been obsessed with the cute designs for the longest time and since recently I was able to buy cute earcaps/pluggies for my phone, I realized they look cuter with plain cases like theese

 

6. Cute puffy/embossed stickers 

I cant really find decent pictures of those cute embossed stickers but I live for these things! My friends would know how much I love stickers and how I pimp out my stuff/gadgets with these  

7. Babydoll blouses 

For some reason (probably my body type) I look good (well i think i do/most people agree) in these things.. anything that's cut at the bottom of the bust area would look cute on me

8. Peplum blouses (in all plain colors esp nude)

K so I noticed lately these peplum blouses (even skirts) are everywhere. I'm not one who usually follows trends but this type of clothing (what) haha works well for my body type, I guess so I liiike

9. A cute and decent daily planner

Since the year is nearing its end, so is my planner.. lol obviously. I just want a plain, nicely bound leatherette covered planner (SO CHOOSY HAHA) I prefer a daily planner, because I like the space, and also something without too many lines 

10. Contacts! 

A while back I had this exploring-contact-lenses phase where I bought different colored contacts lol (so jej, i know hahaha) I even went for those circle lenses.. Don't get me wrong tho, I'm not judging people who wear circle lenses, it's just that I realized it's not something I'd go for anymore. ANYWHO, I recently discovered a pair that I haven't used yet and have actually missed wearing them because of how I look with them. Make up definitely stands out more with lenses on, (IDK maybe its just me) I like these Freshlook ones (the ones I have now) because their lenses have small diameters (more natural looking) and their colors look more natural.. so much redundancy lol. From all the colored contacts I've used in the past, I've found out that Brown, Green, and Gray look best on me #justsayin

11. Baseball caps // don't judge me for being jejemon or jologs just yet... 

Recently I've noticed my hair has been extra poofy (more poofy than it usually is) because if you don't know, I naturally have wavy hair and I have to blowdry or iron my hair to make it look the way it usually does.. But I have naturally poofy hair and usually a cap solves this problem (because it flattens the hair lol) but I found out that I actually like how it looks on me. And since lately I've been so lazy to dressup, I figured I'd go for this baller, laid back look with a cap and just a plain shirt and jeans haha just tryin it out yo! lolz 

not necessarily like these but i like plain ones with a rounded head haha i cant believe im posting this hahaha 

12. Book by Ramon Bautista: "Bakit hindi ka crush ng crush mo?" (Why your crush doesn't have a crush on you) 

 HMM K so before you judge me.. I just really want this for the lulz.. I quite enjoy watching TFTFZ (Tales From the Friend Zone) because I think those things really happen in real life.. and I dont know, I just find him really funny :)) Just look at that book cover, i hate it so much I wanna buy it! haha and it even comes with an extra jeje notebook that says "study hard!" lol If I remember right this book only costs P160. Not bad for a good laugh I should say hehe

Well that's about it i guess.. some stuff from my mental Christmas wishlist! Don't forget to get yourself something special this Christmas.. but more importantly, don't forget your friends! (LIKE ME!:>)  This IS  the season of giving anyway :) OH EM it's officially December! the month of endless Christmas parties (pigging out) and family/friends-bonding time, I'm hoping! Have fun!

Teehee kisskiss, 

Khim <3
