…because I’ve got a bad case of the Monday blues.

My stress levels are off the charts today; one of the things I dread the most happened— I lost my camera’s battery charger. It’s driving me nuts wondering how something could just disappear! I was an hour late for work because I couldn’t just let it go. I looked everywhere! Checked my closet several times, checked my bags, medicine cabinets, boxes (I have three boxes in my room where I usually keep the charger in), paper bags, the couch, plastic bins where we store random stuff, my drawers— everywhere! I am giving it another shot tonight; I’m really hoping I find it because a genuine Canon LC-E5E/LP-E5 charger costs over PHP2000.

What a fantastic way to start my week.

But enough of my woes, for now. Today’s outfit:

I cannot get enough of pretty rings! I can’t believe I waited 25 years to finally feel comfortable enough to deck out my fingers (which are short, stubby, and very un-ladylike) with them.

Yesterday, I went with my mom to buy accessories for my tita who’s flying in from the US. Of course, my mom and I had to get a bunch of stuff for ourselves, too.

…and wouldn’t shut up about it.

I’m pretty sure you’re all sick of hearing me yap about my hair but I swear, this will be the last… at least for now. Updating to let everyone who cares to know that I’ve gotten rid of the ugly orange blonde!

I played around with my hair on Photoshop last night. If there’s an upside to this disastrous bleaching job, it’s that it’s easier to color my hair in on Photoshop, heh.

These are all very quick Photoshop jobs, mind you. I was bored (okay, more like procrastinating, doing random stuff online when I should have been reading up on l-dopa) last night and thought it would be fun to see how I’d look with…

gray hair.

If you follow me on Twitter or Tumblr, you’ll know that I bleached my hair blonde last night. This isn’t the first time I bleached my own hair as I had already done this three weeks ago (I think) and I left the bleach on for four hours (because I am hardcore). The point in all this is to get my hair light and white enough to dye the ends pink (please refer to the fourth photo in this entry).

My hair, yesterday afternoon:

Except it’s pretty hard to get the yellow/red out of dark hair and I could not find toner or purple shampoo ANYWHERE. Hortaleza/HBC (where I get hair bleach from) has this thing called Clear Tone but it wasn’t available at the branches I went to. I thought that maybe bleaching my hair twice would work. It won’t and didn’t.

The pastel pink La Riche Directions semi-permanent conditioning hair color that I bought from ebay (came all the way from UK or something) didn’t work, either.
