I’ve got about a million sad, angsty Alanis Morissette circa Jagged Little Pill-y things I could probably write about explaining the lack of updates on this blog but ya know what? Let’s just skip that. May was my birthday month (it was last Thursday, if you were wondering) and my friends threw me a fake Bushwick slash Williamsburg BK loft surprise party!!! Celebrating your birthday when you have a bad case of the boo-hoos is pretty challenging and I wasn’t interested in doing anything else but watch a bunch of 80s movies in my bed with my sassy cat. However, I felt guilty flaking out on the vague plans I made with Tin and Charles so I put on my big girl panties and headed to Cubao X where they greeted me with cake and stuff. They even made sure You! Me! Dancing! was playing when I walked up the stairs! Ya know, the song that put me in the hospital because I fell off a chair while dancing to it at Tin’s birthday party last year. I wasn’t even wearing heels!
Here are some pictures! Check out the 8-bit Troy Barnes stickers that Elyoo, Tara, and Yasha made for me!

When you consider how to add some adventure to your life, it is important not to limit your considerations to just yourself. Instead, think about how to add some adventure to your life with specific regard to love and romance – whether that means your long-time partner, or someone you’ve just met. With a little creativity, you can turn any type of relationship into something that stays both exciting and challenging, and this can lead to some of the happiest and most engaging times of your life. So, without further introduction, here are some simple ideas for ways to spice up your life as a whole through your love life.
• Never forget about the option of taking a quick vacation. Again, this can be with someone you’ve dated for years and years, or with a new partner. A romantic getaway can be a good way of starting off a promising relationship, or it can be a way to rekindle an existing one. Whatever the case, never allow your life to become so busy and/or predictable that you don’t consider vacations an option. Getting away with your partner can lead to a very fun and exciting time together, and can reinvigorate your life in numerous ways.

Hello, did ya miss me??? I didn’t mean to go MIA on this blog but that’s what happens when you have a parasite infestation!
Obviously, that is not true but go watch a few episodes of Monsters Inside Me and see if that doesn’t make you think about all those times you didn’t wash your hands, walked around barefoot, or ate sushi! I’ve been tired and sluggish lately and if I still received health benefits from my place of work, I’d have no qualms scooping some of my poop into a cup and walking to the hospital to because HEY I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A FEW SCARY CREATURES IN THERE.
Besides picking out names for my imaginary tapeworm (I’m leaning towards Sandra), my life is pretty much devoted to caring for this opportunistic little critter (a parasite to my wallet, if I may say so myself):

I am obsessed with skin care. I think it’s my way of making up for lost time (i.e. I only started wearing sunscreen on my face a year ago!) and my bad habits so I always make an effort to nourish and care for my skin. It is the largest organ of our body, after all, so we really need to take care of it!
A while ago, I blogged about how my skin type changed from normal to oily without my noticing. For a time, I was misguided and started skipping moisturizer and using harsh soaps on my face to strip off all the oil, thinking that that was the reason behind my overactive sebaceous glands. Obviously, this was a mistake and you should never ever do that! My skin was dehydrated and producing more oil to make up for it. I finally smartened up, started using a water-based moisturizer, and switched to makeup meant for oily skin… and what a difference it made! On a good day, I can last without having to blot at all.

Last week, I attended the launch of Mega We Care‘s Nourishing Night Oil at Blue Water Day Spa in Ortigas Avenue. You guys might already be familiar with the company; they’re the ones behind Enat 400 (the purest Vitamin E softgels in the market), Pynocare (softgels that fix discoloration problems and lighten age spots. I need to start taking these!), and Glow (capsules to restore your skin’s radiance and bring out its natural glow; they’re packaged in those purple boxes that I always see at Mercury Drug!). Joining their sizable list of skin care solutions is their dry skin rejuvenator, the Nourishing Night Oil (NNO).
