Gone but Not For Too Long

June 9, 2013
Sunday

I am so back! *screams* :D

I am back to using the internet regularly and I am back to blogging. I really missed being in the cyberworld. :)

But then, we have to sacrifice a few things so we can focus on the "more important" things in life.

I was gone (from blogging) for more than a month, and it felt different. For many times, I had that "urge" to blog. But I tried my best to resist it because I know that when I blog, I do not just type in letters and words and form them into sentences, paragraphs and then to a blogpost. When I blog, I think, I write, I research, I read, I edit, I read again, and so on and so forth... It's a long process for me. It could be different for other bloggers but that way works for me. :)

I actually wanted to make this post as short as possible, not to bore you with nonsense chats. But before I end this, lemme share with you what I do when I'm bored -- just like last Saturday afternoon when we suddenly had a brownout! So it's great thanks to my special friend who gave me these gifts! *winks*

Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy by E.L. James :)

I actually got super intrigued with this book, Fifty Shades of Grey, when it first came out over a year ago. And I have been wanting to read, but I wanted to have my own copy (not just borrow from friends). So, finally, I now have the Trilogy in my hands! :) Well some people say, young people shouldn't read this. But I'm already 21 anyway. I guess it's already legit to read this one. Haha! :D Hopefully I can finish reading the three books before I say bye-bye Pinas again.

And because I'm back now, please watch out for more posts! :) Will definitely be blogging now. Plus, I'm cooking a giveaway too! ;)

So Lovely & Nyce! (A Giveaway)

02/25/12

It's been a while since we had our previous giveaway. And if you can remember, I wrote HERE that I'll be having giveaways for this year 2013. And I won't break that promise. The first for this year is finally here!

But before I give you the mechanics, lemme ask you first this: How was your February? Or, should I say, how was your love month? :)

Well as for me, I honestly admit that I got a bit sad. However, I'm just super thankful that there are people who cares for me and that they care about my happiness as well. Talk about the little gifts you get -- enjoying the tiny bits of sweets, pinks, and pretties. Minus, the cough and colds I got. Plus, the beautiful places I went to (which wouldn't be possible without, again, the people who loves me). For a total of still, happy love month! Well, that should have a 'so far' because it's not the end of the month yet.

 

Another reason for all of us to be happy about this love month is our GIVEAWAY! This is lovingly sponsored by an online shop from my province, Bohol. I know the shop owner personally. She's my batchmate (nursing school) and friend, as well. The shop was named after her. Our sponsor for this giveaway is no other than, Nyce Finds!

 

The prizes, as seen on the photos, are:
* the "love" necklace; and
* cross bracelet
* PLUS! rings (photos to follow)

These are from the Nyce Finds February Accessories Collection. As for the mechanics.. Unlike last giveaway where I enumerated the mechanics in words, this time I'll just let you follow what's on the Rafflecopter widget (because they're the same anyway). Should there be any questions/clarifications regarding the giveaway mechanics and entry options, please feel free to send a private message to the So Sweet Suzette fanpage. So please wait for the rafflecopter to load. And submit your entries here:

There will only be 2 LUCKY READERS who'll win these accessories. One will get the love necklace + ring.

The announcement will be made here on my blog. However, updates will still be posted through our So Sweet Suzette fanpage (be sure to like & subscribe). The winners must contact me within 48 hours after my announcement. Failure to do so would mean another winner/s will be picked.

So, submit your entries now!

Goodluck sweeties!

Pink Fridays is Back!

02/08/13

You read the title right. It says, Pink. Fridays. Is. Back. And I mean it. I know I've been such a lazy blogger since December... well, since I've been here in the United States. And I have not posted even a single Pink Fridays post. I have been lax about that because I thought it doesn't really matter to my readers. But then, somebody just made me realize otherwise.

It was last week when I received a private message on our So Sweet Suzette Fanpage. One of our So Sweet Suzette readers, who is also a friend + relative of mine, asked where my Pink Fridays posts are. Then I found out, my PF posts really matter to her (which makes me feel glad). My PF post is what keeps her coming back to my blog, checking every Friday, hoping there would be a pink photo that would please her eyes (it's actually her fave color). *hihi*

I apologized, and promised to her that I'll work on my PF post the soonest I can. So, here it is. This is my first Friday post for the love month of February, and the first for the year 2013 as well.

The photos I'm showing you for today are actually old ones, I would say VERY OLD ones. I found them while browsing my old photos. And ta-daaaah! Let me present to you, the pink piggy cupcakes! :)

 

Pink Piggy sittin' pretty (and friends).

As you can see, there's the "ohsoyoung" Suzette over there. Photos are actually taken more than 2 years ago. This was during a family friend's business opening. The cupcakes were really cute, that's why I didn't think twice about taking pictures with them (the piggy & chicken cupcakes).

 

It's not just me who's enjoying the piggy cupcakes.. even my lil brotha!
Haha! He's still so young here. lol

 

After taking photos with the cute cuppies, we ate them (just like what my brother seemed to "portray" on the photo above). HAHA :D

 

Few days more to go and it'll be Valentine's Day! <3 Love love love.

 

 

I Skate!

01/31/13

Today's the last day of the first month of the new year. And what's next to January? It's the LOVE month, February! <3 Oh, how fast time can fly. Anyway, before we head towards Spring season and bid farewell to Winter, lemme share to you the exciting experience I had last Monday.

 

It was last week when we found out that my nephew would be having an Ice Skating Party as part of their school's activities this week. I have never tried ice skating before, and even roller skating (street skates with roller blades). And I've had several chances before to try ice skating but I never dared to. This time, I said YES to my sissy when she asked me if I wanted to go with my nephew.

 

I didn't skate before (about a month ago) at a highland here in San Diego because it's an outdoor ice skate rink and it's superdooper cold! We just went to that place because we wanted to do some shopping, actually. Then we saw there was an ice skate rink, I kinda thought of going for a try. But I backed out because I was chilling. Think about being on top of the ice, outdoor, in the middle of winter, and I have just arrived from a tropical country (I haven't adjusted well with the weather yet). So, I gave it a NO.

 

But no, it wasn't a NO. It was actually a NOT YET. :)

 

However, last Monday's scenario was different. It was an indoor skating center. And I think, I am excited to try. I wanted to brave enough to try. I want to toughen myself. Though I am aware that there is fear - Fear of failure.. fear of falling on my butt, to be specific.

 

So after I changed my shoes to ice skates, I slowly got up and walked towards the rink. I was feeling kinda nervous because there is actually quite a big number of children and adults skating on the rink. Making me nervous? Yes. Because it increases the possibility of me bumping into another skater. Or worse, knocking us both down.

 

And yes, I fell down on my butt.. so hard, it still hurts until now (about 3 days after the fall). The first fall was a few steps away from the sides.. just when I have just begun to let go of the sides. And it was one hard fall. But, I never gave up! :) I stood up. And I tried to skate again. Just slowly. There were countless times that I felt like I'm about to lose my balance, I just kinda swing my body so I'd be in control. I fell down again. But I don't cry, I smile. Stand up. And try again. Until I learned how to do it. Just the neophyte-kind-of-skating. It's actually more of walking. Haha! But it's fine, at least I can move thru the ice now. *winks*

 

Photo captured by my bro-in-law :)

 

Falling down can cause pain. But it helps one to be stronger, braver, more determined. If by the first time you don't make it, try again. Maybe the second try would be better. Well for me, learning the thing was difficult. I fell hard. I got hurt. But it was worth it. In the end, I am happy.

 

Let's skate through the ice of life! :)

Heller there 2013 :)

01/10/13

My first post for the year 2013 :) So, lemme say Happy New Year sweeties! I was actually planning to post here my resolution for this year but I changed my mind. Instead, I just want to share to you what I've been up to lately and to share my thoughts about my life.



These are actually our New Year fruits. It's actually a tradition ever since to have 12 fruits on the table for the New Year. The 12 fruits symbolize 12 fruitful months for the year 2013 :)

 

Just when I was getting excited to transfer the photos from my digicam to the laptop, I can't quite figure out how to open the files. But I'd work on it next time, pretty soon. So as of now, I just finished watching the movie 50/50. I am aware that this movie was released last 2011 but oh well, I just saw it today. And I realized, I have actually been watching Joseph Gordon-Levitt movies. Just last week, I watched Inception, Looper and Premium Rush. And then this. But I didn't really do it on purpose. Haha! :) Coincidence.

 

And watching the film 50/50 made me realize something - that life is short and that I am blessed I don't have any sickness or infirmity right now. Thank you Lord. :)

 

A lot of people are actually sick this time because of the cold season. Cough and colds are very common. But what alerts most people is FLU. That is why, getting a flu shot is recommended for everybody. I've had mine last year, I mean 2011 so I might get another shot soon. It's a vaccine given to the patient yearly. Just for, you know, prevention. Okay, so I'm getting far now. Hehe. I just want to express the point that we are now in a new year, so we should take extra care so won't catch any illness. Let us not start the year with unending ha-chus (sneezing) and u-hum u-hum (cough sound). Aside from frequent handwashing, which is for me, the best weapon against germs and viruses, we should also eat nutritious food. Fruits rich in Vitamin C can really help.

 

 

It's for you to figure out which of these fruits are rich in Vitamin C. There are actually a lot from this photo and more from the stores and perhaps from your backyard ;)

 

So that'll be all for welcoming the year 2013 and about the movie and the flu and the fruits. :) Take care during this flu season sweeties!

 

The photo I sent to my boyfie thru PM, which he eventually posted in his timeline. haha!

 

It's a PerPINK Fit!

12/2/12 :)

This is a VERY LATE post. Apologies. :)

Last September 29, a Saturday, my poging cousin Neilboy celebrated his 21st birthday. It was his debut celebration. This blog entry is supposedly an outfit post, but I wasn't really able to wear a bonggang-bonggang outfit. In fact, I forgot to wear the accessories I prepared! Haha! I actually left them inside my big bag, which was there in the hotel room where we changed our outfits. Just please bear with the simplicity of my outfit because I'll be posting the photos here, anyway.

And here are some of the photos: (courtesy of kuya Rodel Ryan Yana)

The simple ME + ENGINEER paraphernalia.
Do they look good on me? :) Bagay ba?

It's me and the birthday boy himself! Talk about sharing the baby crib before with this dear cousin :)

Photo imported from my other blog, as seen on the watermark. Hihi ;)

So there! There are actually more photos.. lots of them. But I just want to show you I looked like during that event, or that night. I actually found this pink dress at a boutique in Cebu City. Honestly, I didn't find this, my Mama did. And she forced me to try this on. Then ta-dah! She said it looked good on me. And she bought it for me. Thanks, Ma. <3

My shoes? They're from my Sissy (in the US). It's a Jessica Simpson pair. Very lovely, indeed. And I should also say thank you to my ever supportive cousin-in-law Kuya Rodel Yana, for taking the photos. :)

It's the second day of the last month today. Few more days before Christmas. And I've just realized that when I saw the 1st candle of the advent wreath lighted at the church. Today is actually the first Sunday of Advent. Whew! I think I need to do a Christmas wishlist sometime soon, you should too sweeties! :)

PF: Little Pink Car

I do know that I missed a lot of Fridays already. But now, I'm back! I really do enjoy doing Pink Fridays post, but I just don't really have all the time in the world to blog 24/7 (I wish I have, though. *sighs*). However, I'm still grateful for the opportunity my parents have given me... for the free WiFi, free laptop/computer system, free electricity, etc. Okay, enough with the duh-ra-muh :) Let's get to business, and lemme show you what I have for today.

So the other Saturday, I went with some friends to the City. I actually accompanied my friends who represented our municipality for the screening of Mr. and Ms. Teen Bohol. While we were on our way to the hotel where the screening would be held, I saw this cute pink car and immediately took a picture of it.

I just saw this cute car parked along the street and I actually do not know who the owner is! HAHA. So here's a little message:

Dear owner-of-the-pink-car,

Thank you for parking it here and sorry if I took a picture without asking permission from you. I hope you don't mind. By the way, your car is really cute -- too cute I decided to post it here for my Pink Fridays post. By any chance you get to read this message, please leave a comment.

Love, Suzette <3 

Have a happy Pink Friday, sweeties! Don't forget to join my ongoing giveaway HERE. Goodnight! :)

On the Screen: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

Indeed, today has been a very great day for me. :)

Okay so everybody knows today is Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2's first day of (worldwide) showing/screening. And since I've been a fan of the saga, ever since 1st year college (year 2008), I've been rooting to watch the last movie of the series on the first day! Yes, I want to be among the first ones who'll get to see the movie... actually, the end to what stayed as a worldwide phenomenon for years.

I was with my little brother and my boyfie. We actually scheduled this moviedate last week. So, I really went to the city (for those who do not know yet, I am living in a rural area here in Bohol, about 42kms away from the city proper) this afternoon for our moviedate to push through. My boyfie and I made some inquiry about the screening schedules of the cinemas. Luckily, there was a 5:30pm screening time - just after my bro's classes. While the the ending time's just right for us to have a dinner together before I go home.

I took a shot of the movie poster outside the cinema, just after we watched the whole movie and
I actually decided to blog about this ;)

Well, just a disclaimer. This is actually not a spoiler but sort of a review. *winks* So the movie started with Bella waking up... as a vampire. Actually, the first third of the movie was focused on Bella and of her adjustments as a vampire. Because of course, she had changed. She adjusted with her thirst for blood, her unusual speed and strength, and her power.

from filmindustrynetwork.biz
Emmett an Bella's armwrestling. And guess what, the newborn won! :)

Then the thrill of the movie came when the Volturi heard of the existence of their child, Renesmee, who was actually being imprinted by Jacob (as seen on Breaking Dawn Part 1). Apparently, a vampire, who was actually a friend of the Cullens, reported to the Volturi as she mistakenly thought of the child as immortal. Or, should a say, a vampire kid. The Volturi actually had an experience before that a vampire kid literally killed so many people, a village of them, actually. This is because an "immortal child" cannot be trained with their appetites, and has tantrums and imperfect self-control. This makes it illegal.

from collider.com

The Cullens tried to gather as many witnesses as they can, so they can convince the Volturi that Renesmee is a growing child, not an immortal one. That she has a beating heart and blood is running through her veins. Then the day came when the Volturi finally showed up, with their classic black robes, of course. Across them, the Cullens and the pack of werewolves, featuring Jacob by the little girl's side.

Then the unexpected happened. I won't spoil it yet to you guys. But just a tip, when you watch, pay attention to the last part! I mean it. The first part of the movie is kinda boring, actually. But there's a twist in the end. Important characters would die, some from the Cullens, others from the Volturi. Then, a thing happens. HAHA! :D

from www.breakingdawnmovie.org
The meadow episode, towards the very end of the movie, where one of my fave songs "A Thousand Years"
plays on the background. <3

It is actually kinda funny anyway and entertaining. I enjoyed it. And I think that's what matters most.

Please don't forget to send in your entries for my ongoing giveaway HERE. If you can, please share your thoughts about the movie, too. Happy viewing sweeties!

Through the Lens: Shopaholic Ties the Knot

Let's talk about books.

I love reading. I really do. But I'm too lazy. Haha!

Ok, here's a little confession... I actually like to read books. And whenever a new book comes out (which I know is a good one), I will say "I would really read that book" or "I will surely buy that one". But actually, I don't really get to even finish the book on time! :(

So right now, what I can see through my eyeglass lenses is text from the book, Shopaholic Ties the Knot. Of course, by my idol author, Sophie Kinsella. I've been a fan since Confessions of a Shopaholic, around year 2009. *winks* Well, I'm not done yet. I'm halfway. And hoping to finish the book before Sunday. So I can read another one next week. To tell you the truth, it has been more than a year since I've read Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (the prequel of the book I am reading right now). But things happened... the bookstores nearby ran out of stock, and blah. And I think they just had a restock only by the beginning of this year. But eventually I became a little disappointed already, and I've got no extra money to be spent on novels.

Luckily, and maybe it was destiny (charot!*) that my cousin, Ate Joanne had this collection of books. I asked her if she had the Shopaholic series, and her answer was "YES". And it was just in time that I went South with my mom, and had the chance to visit their place, too. When I got out of her house, there were already 2 books on my hand. Weeeeeeh! And brought the books here in Bohol. She didn't give them to me though (like, give talaga), I just borrowed them. But I totally understand. What's a collection for, di ba? :)

So the book's story is about a shopaholic girl (obviously) named Becky Bloomwood and her adventures in life, in shopping, in living in America, and in getting married. It's the 3rd book already. The first one was Confessions of a Shopaholic, next was the Shopaholic takes Manhattan, and then this one.

By this time, Becky already settled with Luke, her multi-millionaire boyfriend. They got engaged, and they made wedding plans. The problem is, two other people are planning their wedding: Becky's mum, who wants a simple wedding at the backyard, and; Luke's high-class mother who wants a very glamorous wedding in some prestigious place known as the Plaza.

From the very first book, I actually find the story funny. But just last night, as I was reading this book, I found myself teary-eyed. At some point, I felt how hurt Becky was when what happened, which I won't tell you what it was. If you haven't read the book, you should! And for those who already enjoyed the book, or books for that matter (as it's a series), then "high five!"

I really admire how such a fictional character seemed to be so alive to me. Plus, the setting, the brands of every coat, dress or shoe the different characters are using... and everything! For me, it's just what girl should read. :)

By the way, if you haven't joined my giveaway with White Poppy Wishes yet, you can join HERE.

Ok, enough with the chitchat. I should continue reading now. Have some wonderful reading sweeties!

Sweet Wishes Do Come True: 1st Giveaway

WISH. One word which is worth thousands of smiles. And surely, the definition of this differs from person to person. Each one of us has a wish. Some with simple ones, and the others grand. Whatever that wish may be, I am pretty sure the person who has her/his wish come true, smiles.

I myself wished once. Wanna know what that wish was? I wished for a generous online shop to sponsor a giveaway for my blog. And today, that wish is coming true! I have already mentioned HERE that a giveaway is coming our way. And yes, it's here, finally.

So this wish, which came true, is not just for me. This is also for my dear sweet readers. And I want to say my unending "thank you" to our giveaway sponsor, White Poppy Wishes! :)

Hello Kitty Lover

Hello November!

Yes, this is my first post for the new month, November. Imagine, we're just some days away from Christmas! Hmm.. Surely a season to look forward to, since Halloween time is over (but I am well aware there are still pahabol halloween parties here and there).

I was indeed kinda busy yesterday for our little celebration/commemoration of All Soul's Day. In fact, I spent about 5 hours at the cemetery yesterday. Aside from knowing it was Soul's Day yesterday, did you know it was Hello Kitty's birthday too? Or, do you even know who Hello Kitty is? (Haha, I actually posted a status on my personal FB account about my Papa asking who HK is. lol)

Actually, I hadn't known about HK's birthday until I was able to read its fanpage's post yesterday afternoon! And unintentionally, I was wearing a HK tee!!! And mind you, I don't always wear that shirt. Hmm.. sadyang tadhana lang ba? Haha :D

Taken at my Lola's mosoleo. Wearing my HK earrings too! :)
And thank you Ate Goy for my shirt.

So, that'll be all for now. Will be making more blog posts soon. Might update this post too, for more photos. Happy November sweeties! <3

Pink n Brown

Last week, I received a package, sent to me via LBC. It's the skirt Trishie sent me as a prize for one of her giveaways. It's an animal-print skirt, and I was really wondering what to wear for its top. I don't want to spend, just to have that perfect pair for that skirt. Then a while later, my "kumare" sent me an SMS reminding me of her daughter's birthday. With the invitation/reminder was a note saying, the guests should wear something "pink". Suddenly, an idea crossed my mind -- why not pair the animal print mullet skirt with a pink top?

Oftentimes, pink is paired with black. No arguments about the pink&black combo, I myself really love pink&black. And what I tried out this time is a real experiment: Pink and Brown.

So, here's how it looked like:

So with that outfit, I followed the dress code of my goddaughter's birthday party. Plus, I was able to wear my new mullet skirt and the accessories I won from Bebengisms & Paperdoll. And, and, and ... it totally matched my new sandals, which I really loved because it's tassel + feather combined in one style! I used to think that tassels and feathers are only for earrings and head pieces, but I was proven wrong when my Mama brought home this lovely footwear (bought by my Sissy in the US).

Outfit details:

Blouse - Victoria's Secret

Skirt - Trishie Couture

Sandals- Mossimo

Bag - Nine West

Eyewear - Charlotte Russe

Bracelet, Ring, & Earrings - Paperdoll

Necklace - Forever21

Pink & Brown isn't so bad a combo after all. :)

thankyou Redhunt!

Sorry if I haven't posted any blog entry last week. I've been busy for our fiesta. Visit my other blog for more deets.

And since I promised you that I'll be posting my product reviews and my online contest prizes here, then I'm giving you this post. :) Well, I want to share to you a short story first. (Short lang talaga. haha!)

I won a raffle giveaway during the last week of August. It was one of the first giveaways I joined, and the first one in which I actually won. I was just a little surprised and thankful at the same time for winning. I considered myself to be "lucky" because I was able to join just when it was already less than 30mins before the cut-off time! Though aware of that small chance I got, I gave it a shot not for anything else but for the cool prizes at stake -- Redhunt shirt and shorts!

The prize was supposed to be claimed at their bazaar during the ETC Fashion Flea Market, but since I'm from Bohol, the owner suggested to just have the items shipped to me. However, I had to pay for the shipping fee. But no worries, because the fee is totally worth it!

And as soon as my package arrived, I took several shots:

The unwrapping, featuring the official Redhunt sticker

The shirt's wrap is just cute.

The shorts and the "Stoked" shirt

And here's how the items look when worn, in my "parang baliw lang" pose. I wore a pink tube as under-piece for the Stoked shirt, since it's a little revealing. Haha!

Aren't they cool? Now, that makes me cool too. Ha! I just wore the clothes for photo purposes, so I can post them here. But the clothes can be used as everyday-wear. They're made of cotton, which makes them comfy.

If you wanna get hold of exactly the same items as I am wearing, you can visit Redhunt's FB page.

I am part of the pack, are you?
