Plants vs. Me

I like plants but they do not seem to like me. My MIL gave me a few pots of her euphorbia plants which I keep on our balcony. She said that they can survive even if I just water them once a week. So far, I've managed to kill two. TWO! When in fact they are succulents and can retain water. Sadly, the plants are mysteriously drying up on me. More curiously, the plants that died were located in the same spot, but the other plants are thriving.

So... here's my new plant, a cactus.



If I still manage to kill it, then I'm giving up.

GlamourBox PH


One day, I "confronted" hubby why he liked GlamourBox PH's Facebook page. He confessed that he actually had no idea what it was all about, only that his former college dorm mate, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Lian Ramos, is one of its proponents. I didn't pay attention to it at first because I'm no beauty junkie. However, I liked the idea of receiving a mystery box every month (even if I paid for it) so I signed up a couple of days ago. The boxes are shipped every second week of the month, so I thought I may have missed the November box. I was totally surprised (and excited!) when a box arrived today.

 

 The November box contains the following:

  • Eye of Hours mascara
  • Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Balancing Softener
  • Shiseido Benefiance Pop Up Mask
  • Yves Rocher Slimming Action Concentrate
  • Ofra Cosmetics Lipstick Palette
  • Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste
  • Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua
and bonus items Bvlgari Man and Burberry Sport. I'm excited to try out the products and to receive next month's box. To order your own box, visit: http://glamourbox.ph .

Singapore 2012 (Part II)

The trip to Singapore made me realize how much I've neglected photography. I found out that I've "forgotten" how to operate a DSLR, even my Olympus PEN, huhu. Must make time for taking pictures.

The rest of the photo dump:

Singapore 2012 (Part 1)


Spent the long week-end and a couple of vacation leaves in Singapore. We planned the trip partly so my aunt and sisters can have stamps in their passports before these expire haha. Although we booked our tickets awhile back, I was most unprepared for this trip. I forgot to bring our stash of medicines (then hubby suffered a massive headache), our travel adaptors (we had to buy) and our usual Snickers bars. Yet, this is our most tipid trip pocket money-wise because we stayed with my uncle and aunt and they sponsored  most of our meals. (Yay!)

They say Singapore is only as big as Quezon City yet we still missed a couple of spots despite being there for five days. We skipped the zoos and gardens and went to Orchard, Little India, Bugis, Arab Street, Marina Bay Sands, Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore.

Be ready for a massive photo dump with a few captions. :P

Little India   
(We spent our first night in Orchard but I forgot my camera, boo.)
