well, sorry if I haven't been so Cosmogirl-y in my entries lately...
It's just that, I was sick for two days, my skin's breaking out, and i don't know about my bod, it's just...so not me.
I don't feel so peachy recently. Haha, but I guess, ligo lang toh. And I might talk my mom into visiting our derma today, of course after the novena. It's Wednesday, fyi.
I miss partying...
And I know I have been using the term party too many times, and you might be mistaking me for some girl who loves the nightlife, splurges her money for expensive club entrance fee, prowls the bars like a cat, who likes showing skin when she dresses, who drinks and dances like there's no tomorrow.
I am so not that girl.
How do you define a party girl anyways?
Is she someone who calls up her friends on a lazy night, to have some fun. By going to some Über expensive club to dance and drink and splurge their money on whatever it is she buys there. She meets and flirts with some people, or if she's really hot, she goes with her boyfriend and have their good time there. The next day, they wake up with crazy hangovers and well, life goes on... She'll be shopping for another party top to wear the next time she goes out.
**or I might know someone like that, but hey, she's sweet, and she's harmless, and she's my friend. So I love her regardless.
If that's who you call a party girl, then I'm probably just a poser.
Because partying for me is, really, just having fun. Day or night. With or without cash to spend. I go out and hit the clubs, alright, but not too often(I'm lucky if I do that once 5 times a year), and I don't go out for booze, I'm really just for the dancing, and the company of my friends. Especially my homegirl, Kups, who is every inch a night person, and loves to move freely at the dance floor. So if not for her or my homegirls, gffs and pffs, I'd rather stay at home and party with my own crowd. It can be just chilling at the Cortez's, or hanging out with the djv people, it's all good. The natural high works best for me. I don't have to worry about a crazy hangover the next day (because i hated it when I was still drinking). Wala lang, just don't read my blog expecting to read entries like "Gosh, we drank a lot last night, I was so wasted," or "I saw (famous person) at (expensive club) last night, he looked so hot.", because you're not gonna see any, and you'll be disappointed. Because my party is my life. The people I meet, the fun I have learning new things, acquiring realizations, scrutinizing every detail of the conversations i had with people who matter and makes sense.
Okay, so did you get my point? Because I'm pretty sure I did. Quoting Joycey -
"Ang lungkot naman nun kung di ko pa magets sarili ko, sarili ko na nga lang. " - i really love that girl.
So, I had a great time hanging out with Kups the other day. I accompanied her to ABS for her exam, and she went with me to Makati to give my clearance form to Manpower. The rest of the day? Hahaha, window shopping! The search for the perfect tinted moisturizer. Okay, so before that, we were hungry so we went to go grab a bite, but where? This is our thing. We love to eat, but more than that, we love to sit, and chill and rest our tired feet while eating. So a place with soft chairs, nice couch, preferably with pillows, that's our idea of the perfect lunch resto. Pizza Hut in G4 is pretty much full, and Fridays seem a little too expensive for a casual lunch between bestfriends, so we headed out to Greenbelt because I told her how I soo want to eat at Soul Food, because the interior is so cute, and the food doesn't seem uber expensive. So we went there and gave it a try. The verdict: i wanna celebrate my birthday there! (if not at Fridays) The food was good, the interior's really posh and homey ( Kups and I felt so at home, we hugged the pillows like it was ours), the price is just right, and it's situated right at the heart of Greenbelt 3, which makes it look so happenin'. I really hope to have my birthday there. Loved it...though I'd still want to try the one upstairs near the movies, where they have real beds. Food and slumber ? wow, go have a pig's life! But speaking of bed, Kups and I have found the perfect place for our much-anticipated night out with the homegirls, Kaye and Tae. Bsta, it looks cute, I'm pretty sure they'll like it there. We're not telling where we're going yet, because everytime we'd plan to go out and where to go, it never pushes through, so just trust us on this one. I'll be posting pics anyways. So, we also promised we'd buy a gimmick top one of these days, and we'll push through with the gimmick, coz that promise was like, ages ago pa! And we'll be buying our makeup too...
Which brings me to the topic. I am just so fascinated with makeup. I never thought I'd be that girl. My makeup mantra is very minimalist. Moisturizer with sunblock, blush (if I'm going out talaga), lip gloss and I'm all set. But I never realized how important make up is! I mean, admit it, we don't look perfect the moment we wake up. We look good alright, but not really, picture-perfect. And that's where makeup stands. They were made to make us look so put-together and confident. Like I never thought I'd care about applying mascara and curling my lashes, but well, I found out that it really opens up your eyes! Making you look Veronica and Betty, Daisy duck adorable. Your eyes will look uber sweet and romantic, that it makes you appear so dreamy...
I'm not an expert in makeup (at least not yet, but when kups and I go to that makeup class, we will be!), but I guess the key is, to look for products that suits you, looks natural on your skin, and takes care of it as well, and use it. Of course, keeping in mind that looking natural still works everytime. So yes, Kups and I have finished the hunt for a good tinted moisturizer. Actually, it isn't perfect yet because it's not bagay with my skintone (since when did my skin become porcelain?), but as opposed to the P1,700 worth moisturizer (which fits a golden girl like me), I need something I can use everyday (because I hate the feeling of foundation piling up on my skin, so a tinted moisturizer is basically the solution for that), and has sunblock. So I'll go for the less expensive one, since it's more practical. And really, I would be so conscious if I buy a 1,700 peso worth of beauty product, I mean, i'd practically try to save it again, until it decomposes. And I wouldn't want to buy the one from Body Shop, because it shimmers, and the tube is so small it will probably last for less than two weeks. So yeah, I picked the one from Loreal, although it's in a shade of porcelain, it looks matte when you apply it, has SPF 50, and is cheaper. Aside from that, once in a while, be on the lookout for new breakthroughs in makeup and get your kikay kit an update. I'm so excited to be buying Maybelline's Dream Mousse foundation and Loreal's Mascara. Kups and I tested it a number of times, and we still get amazed at how it makes our lashes appear longer. Especially hers, I mean, mine's long by nature, but Jai has short lashes. So when she used the mascara, they gave her flutters a great boost. While I looked like I had lash extensions, it's soo long, I looked so gay! (in a good way ha)
Sigh! Amazing how I can talk about makeup for a long, long time and not get bored at all! I just knew the beauty industry is somehow my calling.
Oh well, tomorrow, I promise myself I'm getting a facial, a mani-pedi, and I'm gonna tweeze my eyebrows. Lucky if I get my hair cut, I've wanted bangs since I was little, but I'm afraid I look more sophisticated, less cutesy without it. Haha, now I know I'm boring you!
My entry started out so deep, ending super-shallow. But hey, this is still Cosmogirl, expect the unexpected.
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
