PINK DIAMOND


Discovering this bunch of lilies in its full bloom at our backyard definitely calls for an outfit shot. lol
A girly outfit had immediately sparked in my imagination. Sadly, I did not bring a girly dress with me when I went to the province since I often travel lightly. So, I just slip into a black and white dress in contrast to the bold colors of the flowers and the surroundings.
My sister, Kath, wickedly joked at me “ What are you up to, Ate? A witch in the woods this summer season?lol”
She’s definitely knocking a sense on me. I knew she’s right I kinda look like a lost witch in the forest. Anyhow, lookin’ like a witch or not, I still don’t want to miss a shot with these enormous colorful flowers!
What do you think?

MISSES & KISSES

I'm not running out of titles yet. It's just that some brand names are interesting and creative ( agree?) just like this jumpsuit's that I can't help using it as a title.
Are you familiar with this ftruit? It's locally known as 'mabolo'. They were scattered all over the place where I took this outfit shot. When I asked Benson about it, he told me it's mabolo. I was not convinced because the picture of mabolo I had in mind was something hard, round and green. I was so curious that I even wanted to take one at home if not for it's itchy spines.lol 
On the trunk of the tree was a piece of wood with the name of the tree written on it: KAMAGONG. I was confused rather than enlightened because what I knew about kamagong was it's one of the hardest tree and it never bear a fruit like narra. So when I went home, I showed its picture to my father.
Me: Tay, do you this fruit?
Father: Mabolo.
Me: No!(giggling) It starts with letter K!(beaming)
Father: Huh? (doubt) It's mabolo. The tree is locally known as Kamagong!
I was speechless and embarrassed. My family, they were all laughing at me.lol

 

 Looks like I'm a delivery girl with that cake? Well, I am! :) I had delivered . that cake to a special someone on his very special day: his birthday!
To Benson : I'm very  lucky having you in my life. I love you forever! :)
Have a great Sunday ! :)

MISMATCH

I'm pissed off! Have you experienced going to a salon where you felt more cheated than blessed? Well I did! I trusted my looks with them assuming that when I get out, I'll look better. But I just got the opposite with my hair. I regret having a haircut in that salon. If you try to browse on my other post with my earlier look, I had a better hair than this!:(
I do not know how did it happen. All that I asked was to have my hair cut with my preferred length of course with a side bangs. He did just what I told him. It takes me a while to notice that my hair feels dull and looks stiff as if I'm wearing a wig! I thought it was just the effect of the blow drying that he did. But no!it's more than that. I had tried a couple of times blow drying my hair when I still have my curly locks but I hadn't received the same result when I went to the salon. 
I can probably conclude that the real problem was either THEY ARE USING THE SAME  SET OF COMBS to all their customers or THEY FORGOT TO CLEAN THE COMB after their service. Whether that customer availed a simple haircut, a hair straightening,a hair relaxing or hair re-bonding.The "treatment" that they had used to their other customers the other day probably stuck to the comb that they had used with my hair. I'm near to crying you know because I have been considering my hair as my saving grace. I'm not blessed with extremely beautiful features but I take pride with my hair. But now... (sigh).
I know it's not right to put all the blame with them. Partly it's my fault. I should have look for a better salon offering better services.If only I followed my sister's advice not to cut my hair until the summer ends.. No more if's. It's already done whether I like it or not. I'll just take this a challenge for me to more creative. This haircut won't limit me to become stylish, aye?Well, I'll just consider this as a "lesson for the day" besides regrets will just make me pessimistic. And I'm trying my best to avoid that.
 I'm looking forward to the brighter side of my haircut on my next post. Smile!


I hope you have a better experience in the salon than me. :)
