The Beautynomist as Prom-sitter

PROM PROM PROM PROM PROM. Well, it was just one of those nights that I could never forget. Since my school was coed, we didn’t have really dates that we chose ( teachers assigned our dates, with ratio 2 or 3:1 in favor of the boys ), so it was more of a fun night with my best buddies. I just had a blast preparing for it, and attending it, that I just couldn’t let go of the wonderful experience - hence, extending my help to my younger sister, who was just always dependent on me for beauty advice ( Can’t blame her, she always gets the best results! ).

Of course, as my dearest sister, I had to make sure she looked like a goddess, not some godmother or granny, or any prom girl disaster slash nightmare. I just had to made sure no one insulted my sister ( or else, I would have stabbed her with my lethal lipstick..whapak! ) , for that matter, so it was a must for me to pick the right dress, pick the right accessories, and pick the right look

The Prom, in a girl’s perspective, must be one of the highlights and memorable events in her teenage life. It’s all about over-preparing, dressing up really pretty in elegant formal wear, dancing the perfect night away, with a date, or with friends. It’s all about being a princess for a night. I remember how I ate bitter melon for a month just to clear up my skin in time for my prom ( I succeeded hehe ), and how I scouted for really good makeup artists to have my makeup done.

If you ask me if I remember my classmates’ gowns during our prom, I say I don’t. If you ask me who did their makeup, I can answer that. I think I’ve memorized their looks for the night with their corresponding makeup artists/salons. hehe (sheesh, it’s still crystal clear to me, and it was 5-6 years ago already. ) Continue reading

One of the jargons, that I happen to absorb quite well during my first few days as an Economics student were the terms, “scarcity”, and “opportunity cost”. They’re one of the few basic terms taught to Economics students before things get harder. hehe They might sound simple, at first, but there are some important ideas presented by these two terms.

Scarcity, in layman’s term , is the lack of something. In this world of ours, no matter how boundless the resources are, face it, our resources are most limited. For people like us, we don’t have all the time in the world, all the money , and all the talents and skills. For bigger societies, countries, and companies, they have limited resources as well - their factors of production - manpower, capital ( money, or land ), and technology. No wonder hyperbolic and fantasy films ( Richie Rich…Princess Diaries ) always earn - men have always wanted to get everything he needs. That’s okay , as one of my professors told me, the world can provide every person’s needs. The worst part is, men, by nature, have always wanted to fulfill their wants, as much as possible. Want is such a strong term, because it is synonymous of the word, “whim”. The world, is not enough ( yes, this was a James Bond movie. That’s how strong my point is. hahaha:) ) for even one person’s wants. Continue reading

Here’s my love story. I know nobody’s going to read this since it’s Valentine’s day, everyone is out with their loved ones, and I’m one of those people left in the city who is still busy staring, and typing on the computer screen as if it was a normal day. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a love story to tell…..

Saturday night was a blast. Attending a lovely wedding of my friend’s brother, sisterhood bonding with my coolest college girlfriends - it was one precious night. Everyone was so dressed up, in full makeup - Oh, how I love the sight of beautiful people. Gorgeous women flaunting their curves in their gowns, and dashing men in their best barong. ( or only haha )

I was dropped off after work ( yes, I was plagued with work last Saturday ) at Katherine’s house, and to my glee, I was an hour early. Looking at her face without any makeup on, I so wanted to do her a makeover - I want to do everyone makeovers. When she saw the vanity kit I brought - and I laid them out in her vanity table, she got all confused - I think it was way too much! hehe

If I were a professor ( which I’ve always dreamed about, but I really do hate math, Economics tamed my “hate” for it, but just a little bit ), I would be scolded for a very bad lesson plan. Jumping from one topic to another without even introducing my theme. Well, it’s time. ( sounds serious..! )

One of the more confusing terms for basic Economics students and even non-economics students are the terms, GDP and GNP. Luckily, the ever-creative country called the Philippines, has another easier term for GDP, and is natively defined as, “Gawa ( made ) Dito ( here ) sa Pilipinas ( in the Philippines ). I think that just made it easier for everyone. And another term, GNP- Gawa ( Made ) ng ( by ) Pilipino ( Filipinos )

After taking my morning shower, I glanced myself at the mirror ( of course, my daily routine! ), and got somehow frightened at my slightly puffy eyes, also slightly swollen. I remembered that I just let Sunday(yesterday) pass me by, by beauty sleeping for a good 6 hours from 1 pm to 6pm, instead of going to the mall and picking out my latest experiment on this eye cream to help my bags go away.

I somehow got alarmed at the fact that by just sleeping late, I could get such horrendous effects on my face! Yes, I’ve been sleeping late for a number of Sunday nights already. Why? Because It Started With a Kiss.
