Emmy's 2011

was watching 63rd Emmy's last night at OSN First, it was painfully boring (so we kept flipping the channel back to F.R.I.E.N.D.S. rerun) ...most people i know watch it to see what celebrities would be wearing anyway and not to see who's gonna win :D 


here are my picks...cos they're gorgeous and i like them...then there's their gown...

Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan


Minka Kelly in Dior


Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang


Emily Blunt in Elie Saab


Kate Winslet in Elie Saab


Drew Barrymore in Givenchy


and after all the fabulous gowns...here's Andy Whitfield of Spartacus who was a part of their 'in memoriam' segment, who passed away just few days ago...yes i also watch this type of shows but i would have never started watching it if i had a choice :D

face wash replacement

my skin type: combination

I was using Pond's Clear Solutions, but I don't think we get along anymore, so I searched for a replacement and I found this in the grocery opposite my office building...

L’Oréal HydraFresh Anti-Shine Icy Hydrating Foam

the promise: help control skin shininess all day long and less visible pores after four weeks

Been using this for two weeks and so far so good. But I have a sentiment, it kinda smell like sweet pee (my spelling was correct: pee) that's the only thing I dislike bout this wash, otherwise all good, leaves my face feeling clean and fresh and not sore and tight like others...



the former oasis


Sadly, I didn’t enjoy Beady Eye concert...

Why?

Well… first of all, I went to Abu Dhabi just to see Liam Gallagher, unfortunately we reached the venue just in time as the crowd was coming out! We would’ve probably seen the last five songs they performed or at least the encore if it wasn’t for all the misadventures with H. According to one concertgoer we’ve interviewed the performance was mediocre. So I’m hoping it really was, but still... can’t get over all the time and effort I’ve wasted. All I got was the foto below (taken by H) of their poster outside the venue...

For Dhs 95/- it's an OK choice for those who want to brunch but still hungover from Thursday night and wanna stay away from spirits. I only got to take photos of my eggs benedict breakfast (which I've had better) cos after that I was so busy filling up myself with mains :D

my birthday wishlist

Sony Cybershot DSCW570

Samsung Galaxy SII


I'm so over gold...I'm falling in love with rose gold...

I remember the bag of samples I got from Sephora when I bought an Absolutely Irresistible perf for my mama...yeh there it was a little sample of Le Soin Noir, its unbelievable! It smells heavenly and just the way it feels in your skin is incomparable! I wonder how long it lasts, its ridiculously pricey! 

bonding with my little monsters


Since we moved to our tiny apartment in Bur Dubai last June, we get to bond regularly… swimming at the rooftop of the apartment. I don’t really know how to swim, but I’m getting there :D


I love watching them play in the pool making loads of noises and even talking about the “other people” around us out loud. I got tired of shooshing them so I just let it, they’re little people. In fact, they use the phrase “other people” a lot. They used to call our ex-flat mates “other people” and anyone they see or meet but can’t remember the name “other people”. They also use the Tagalog version of “other people” which at one point Zoe mistakenly uttered “ibang tae” (literally translated: other kaka, or poop or shit) ha ha funny little monster. She makes everyone around her laugh, especially with her Cartoon Network accent, and the lines she memorized from PPG, Ben 10 and Bakugan.





Zoe's own words/lyrics

that means, i'm going to a partey!

lock and lor!

kase gusto ko ma-come

mommy's not wake-upping

*singing* im not afraid, to take the stairs, everybody, come take my man

*singing* its a colour after one, im all alone and i need u now

hello kitty

Nothing but love for Hello Kitty and I hope we'll see their beauty line here in the UAE soon. Well, I know for sure we will just a matter of time and approval from Dubai Municipality ;-) 

I got my hand on a little lipstick from Hello Kitty (07-04 RAL Shine and Kiss) and I just love the rose gold casing, it's so pretty, I fell in love with it and I'm using it everyday now.

It will be all over UAE very soon!
