Oh Happy Saturdays

Saturdays are always fun specially when I get half a day off from work to facilitate the event - the Valerie Beauty Pinup Girl Collection Launch, a mini-gathering by my company (and Tin's ), Beauty & Minerals. Boy, I do hope I get to distribute mineral makeup more, and make this a full time biz since I am so in love with mineral makeup! They are sureball ways of improving one's looks with the inexpensive price tag, plus , they also make women feel good about themselves! I highly value confidence and self worth, since they are scarce resources nowadays, and bringing them back to someone is simply priceless, and really rewarding.

The Pinup Girl Collection Launch was great! At first, we were a bit weary that we would not be able to get decent seats at Starbucks 6750 because of the people upstairs, with matching laptops, who seemed to want to stay there for a long time. Good thing, ground floor tables were fast moving, and we were able to settle at the ground floor. The tables were far apart, but nothing can really stop mineral makeup addicts from getting what they want no matter the distance! Haha! Overall, I enjoyed meeting new people ( finally meeting friend P ), and seeing old friends again! I was able to seek makeup advice from pros like K, and all that! Great, great, great, I shall never tire of holding such events like these! Next time, I want it to be held at Ziggurat, just as mineral makeup addict J suggested.


Beautiful ladies + cute boy :)

Oh, and by the way, if the mineral makeup addicts were able to shop, I was able to do my share of shopping inside Starbucks. Got this mega-cute Apple necklace from addict P ( from Beauty Corner, buy buy ! ). I was able to see the design online and hesitated because it was beyond my budget ( or else I thought ), but upon seeing it, I bought it in less than 5 minutes. Things happened so quickly. Talk about impulsive shopping. Take a look and you just might understand me!


My new Apple necklace! Love it since my childhood nickname's Apple.:)


Yikes! I'm super dark na pala from the beach trip last week! (pic from Patty's multiply site:)

After the event, I hurried to Rockwell to meet bestbuds J, M, and ever-cool buddy J to watch Good Shepherd. It was so funny, or I just got so stunned because when M asked me which movie I preferred ( Good Shepherd or 300 ), I told her that any movie would do fine as long as Matt Damon wasn't in it. Then, I was late for the movie, and the moment I looked at the screen, it was Matt Damon! Wahhh!! I mean, I have nothing against Matt Damon as an actor, person, but I just don't like seeing him or watching his movies! Maybe he just doesn't appeal to me. AT ALL. Hahaha.

The movie Good Sheperd, in my book, is a flop. Sadly, I didn't like it. It was way too dragging for a movie - lasted more than two hours, Angelina Jolie didn't shine in that movie ( and to be paired up with Matt? What were they thinking? ), and the movie was just all about the spy's adventures, that in my opinion, was a great way of wasting one's life away. The symbolism by the last part when he read his father's letter, and the letter being burned pretty much summed up the whole movie. The main character.just.wasted.his.life.away.

Which reminds me, I gotta live a full life. ( Oh, so the movie had some use after all ). I'm still young ( well, sorta, reaching my quarter life crisis soon ), and I need to experience everything great life has to offer as early as possible. I think my Boracay trip made me realize that I needed to do that for myself. So right now, I've been taking my chances, to make sure that I don't have any regrets on whatever things I do. I don't wanna be like Matt Damon in Good Shepherd - I don't wanna waste my life away. I want to have a great , great life worth relinquishing when I grow old.

BTW, M told me that the cutie that I was crushing on , looks 16 (and thinks he just might be 16 ) . Gasp. Oh no! :)
