In Pursuit of Happiness

If I were to ask you: WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY? What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it money? Fashion? Makeup? Love? To be honest before July 2019, I don't have any passion or inspiration besides my family which is my main #SupportSystem A good friend of mine asked me "Pano ka maging masaya?" and it hit me hard. Not because the question is hard, but because I don’t know the answer. Life is full of surprises. I don’t know what’s happening now then what’s gonna happen next. It’s a roller coaster ride indeed. 

Back to the question. What makes Patricia happy? The answer is not simple. It’s actually complicated and hard. 

I’ve contemplated and think about this a lot since I’ve figured it out. I know there are times that I may have been complacent and “pa-easy easy lang”. Pero this time, I know I'm sure.

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always wanted playing games. Anything plastic, I enjoy playing it. LOL Anyways, I won’t forget this one time. My mom and I went to a clinic for a checkup. The doctor was so nice and has this charisma na hindi ka matatakot. He’s able to explain everything well and as a 7 or 8 year old, I was able to understand it. (He’s cool) I was on the top of the class, so my mom (since I was sick) bought me my favorite sombos and sylvannas from Brownies Unlimited.

Another thing, since my mom pity me….. She asked me “Ano ba gusto mo anak?” I was skeptical to ask her since I thought, “Pwede bang bilhin yun ng ordinary na tao?” I told her “Yung sa doctor ma.” I’m pertaining to the Prescription pad. (I love drawing when I was a kid and I always like teacher teacheran.) My mom said, “Ilan gusto mo?” “Dalawa.” And she said, “Naku anak mahal yun.” My mom is frugal. The reward she’ll give me if I do good in school is Yum burger. If my papa have OT that week, it’s with chicken joy. That made me happy. It’s simple yet I know that my parents worked hard for it. 

Going back to the gift…. My mom went to the palengke to buy this week’s fudang sa house. She said “Nasan si Pat?” I didn’t look since I know she’ll look for me anyway. LOL!

“Okay na ba pakiramdam mo?” Then I nodded. My mom showed me what she bought. Before I let you know, this is what I’m thinking before I peek. “Ilan kaya binili ni mama? 2 kaya? Or baka tatlo? Baka hiningi nya sa doktor. Ilan kaya magiging pasyente ko?” If you’re inside my head that time….

My mom showed me not the one that I want, but a set of toys for little aspiring doctors. It has this plastic spleen, a syringe, and most of all a stethoscope. Very funny because I cried. It’s not what I want mom! Hahahahah! Anyways, I played with it, I even pretended I was the patient. So 2 in 1 sya. HAHAHA!!! That moment I realized, this is fun.

I guess you'd know what this is all about. :)

Currently, I'm working for the world's largest search engine. I won't say the name cause we're not allowed. HAHAHA! Anyways, most people would tell me, why try to give up? It's a pretty decent job with tons of benefits and hefty paycheck. People who knows my plan (Except my family) would tell me "Are you nuts?" Why'd you exchange something awesome and probably a better career than this trail of weird path that probably hard, costs a lot of money and would probably take forever before I can have a paycheck.

My family knows what I like. They knows if it BS and would stop me right away. This time, the only question they asked is: "Kaya mo ba?"

Before I said my goal to them, I prayed and had my devotional prayer for 1 week. I always pray to the Lord and let me tell you, this time it's different. It's as if my prayer has been answered already.


I want to pursue Medicine.

My dad is the hardest person to persuade in my family. That's why I told him first. Kumbaga, yung pinaka mahirap na muna. HAHAHAH!

I told him what I want and told him how I could reach it. he said, basta kaya mo anak. sige, alam mo naman di ka namin matutulungan financially. I wanna scream. I wanna say "YES!" Finally! I told my sister next and eventually everybody know it except my mom. She wants me to become a doctor too but she knows that I'm not fit for it. I told her and she said "Matagal yan masyado at maganda naman na yang trabaho mo. Wag mo ng asamin anak." I got hurt. Hehehehe although I know I will pursue this anyway. Road to MD na ituuu!!
I will make this blog my online diary. I will make sure to update this with every journey that i'll take for this dream to come true.

Iglesia Ni Cristo: walk to fight poverty

Hello!

As you guys know, I am a proud member of the Church of Christ. Last Sunday, we gathered around Roxas blvd to have a charity walk event. Here are some of the pictures I had during the said event.

From Left to right: Kuya Peter, Ate Shiela, Papsi, Kuya Dan, ME, Mamshie and ate arvie

Faraon family is sending hearts from our home to yours!

We stayed at Atrium Hotel since the parking space won't be sufficient and it would be impossible for us to go home in one piece if everyone's tired after the walk.

United we stand, divided we fall.

We have this obligatory photo op with our wrist bands attached :) Courtesy of ate arvie. (Everyone should abide as she'll erupt like an active volcano.)

Please excuse my Braso. :D

From our hotel, we walked whooping 1.9 KM nearly 2 km just to get to the wristband distribution area. We stepped on the starting point at exactly 11:30 AM. Everyone felt invigorated by the moment we stepped on the starting line. It was sooooooo hard to get there, though it was very much fulfilling:)

The Girls of the family plus Papsi

Ang daming nakipag kaisa at nakaka taba ng pusong makita yung dedikasyon ng mga kapatid mula sa iba't - ibang distrito. Way to go mga kapatid!

Fresh na fresh....... SA NGAYOOOOON

With the POREBER CREW ate shiela and kuya pem :D

We saw a lot of guests coming from different parts of metro manila and nearby provinces.

Kudos F21 Cake Foundation. Di moko binigo :D

I love to see different brethren smiling and waving the INC flag. It's true that God's promises were fulfilled. ♥

 

I am tired during this point. That's why my face doesn't look happy at all. :D

With my brother and my brother from a different mama Jomel!

Ate captured Kuya Pem and Papsi sharing a conversation. We are wondering what the topic was! 

We are all tired and happy. Cause we got 5 new guiness world record titles!!!! Sa Ama ang lahat ng kapurihan! 

That's it. Hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. :)

#UsapangPegebeg: Friendzone Iyak ka na bessssssss

Hello Earthlings 

Alam kong maraming makakarelate sa topic na'to. Dahil usong uso sa mga kabataan ngayon ang term na friendzone/d  (Kung maka sabi ako ng kabataan, kala mo napaka tanda ko na.)

Pero ano nga ba ang Friend zone? What is the relevance of it to our society? Cherettttt!!!!

As per google:


 





In short, indifference. Yun ang dahilan. Another popular quote is: I want to save our friendship. (BAKIIIIITTTTT?????? NANGANGANIB BA???) Ayaw pang aminin na di ka gusto. Pag ganyan kasing may umamaligid sa'yo, wag ka ng magpacute at feeling mabait. Kasi kung ieenjoy mo yung pinapakita niya, magiisip yung tao na: "OMG! like rin niya ako!!!!" Pero ang totoo, naaawa ka lang at ayaw mo siyang saktan. Ang kaso lang, pag pinatagal mo pa 'to, Lalo lang magiging masakit para sa tao.

*Eto ay opinion ko lang. Hindi to based on experience. Wokey????? (Defensive player of the year.)

Types of Friendzone:

The Ted Mosby Friendzone

If you've watched HIMYM (How I met your mother) aka best show on earth, you prolly know Ted Mosby. Ted's a great guy, but, he didn't end up with Robin. Good thing with this type of friendzone, you get the chance to "officially" be with your friend. Sa madaling sabi, naging kayo. Kaso, SHIT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, you get to know your indifferences (which should've happened nung nasa get to know stage kayo!) Kaya niyo na realize, hindi pwede. Di pwedeng ituloy to kasi walang poreber dude!

The Jacob from Twilight Friendzone

Alam niyo naman kung anyare sa story ng twilight diba? Ikaw to kung gwapo ka, maalaga at loyal sa kaibigan mo, tapos nung nag attempt kang magparamdam, ABA ANG PINILI YUNG KAAWAY MO!? LITZI!

#UsapangPegebeg: Puppy Love

Hello Earthlings,

First of all, I am single. Wag ng tanungin kung bakit. Basta. (Masaya kaya maging single.) Going back. Marami kasing issues na pwede mong kaharapin, mga bagay na pwede at di pwede. Basta, may topic tong blog series na 'to. Each topic ko na lang ididiscuss yung point of view ko. ok?

Let's start with the most common topic of 'em all. And they call it....... Puppy love..... ♫♪♫♪

*Picture for distraction*

As per google:

In short, puppy love is for kids. So, wag mo akong sasabihan na "puppy love lang 'to nuh!", kasi hindi ka na bata. Wag kang ano!

 

 

Pa'no mo malalaman kung puppy love lang yan?

Saglit pa lang kayo magkakilala- OPKORS! and sino ba ang maiinlove agad kung mga 1 weeks- 4 weeks palang kayo magka kilala? Baliw lang ang ganyang tao nuh! (Guilty!) Kilalanin mo muna yung taong yun bago ka mag invest ng feelings/ emotions. Kasi LOVE TAKES TIME. Most likely, crush mo lang yan. Wag kang ano!

Know the attitude. Especially pag di ka nakatingin

Bata ka pa- Eto ang hindi ko magets. Though I'm not in the right position to judge people. Kanya kanyang calling kasi yan. (Charaught!) Yun na nga, wag masyadong mag pa dala sa emotions. Kasi pag bata ka pa, most likely, makakagawa ka ng mga maling bagay. Oo matututo ka, pero you'll learn it the hard way. #JustSayin' And age doesn't matter, maturity does. Kasi if you are not mature enough to understand things/ situation, hindi rin yan tatagal.

Wag pa cute UTANG NA LOOB!

Away ng away. Petty Quarrels- This one is a no brainer. Isang sign ng maturity ang pagiging open minded. KAYA SA MGA TAMANG HINALA DIYAN..... Mag isip isip. Cheretttt!!! 
Basta, laging tatandaan na oo, may mga pwedeng pag awayan. AT HINDI KASAMA DUN ANG HINDI NIYA PAG SABI NG GOOD MORNING AT GOOD NIGHT SAYO! Utang naloob!!
Hindi ka makikipag relasyon para lang may mangigising at magpapatulog sa'yo. Isa pa yang FB na yan! Di mo na kailangang malaman yung password niya. IT IS TOO PERSONAL. TBH....
Di ko kayo kakampihan sa bagay na yan. 


Pero aminin na natin. Walang rules sa love. Kahit na mali at di mo dapat mafeel, mararamdaman mo eh. Kung bata ka pa at naramdaman mong may spark, you have to make sure na tama. Tama yung nararamdaman mo at nasa tamang posisyon ka. Mahirap kasing pumasok sa isang commmitment kung pareho kayong hindi pwedeng pumirma ng kontrata. Gets?

Abangan ang next topic: Types of friendzone.

Scene Stealer: Colour Pop Liquid lipsticks

Hello earthlings,

I am very frustrated as of the moment. The reason being, THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I GET TO USE COLOURPOP.  (Capslock para intense!!!!)
I Don't know why I haven't try it, but one thing's for sure. I AM TOTALLY LEFT OUT!!!!!!!!!

TBH, I am not into following the hype. Meaning, di ako mahilig makiuso. Because, there are times that these products are being advertised good, but the quality isn't. On the brighter side, there are products that are really good, thus the hype.

Going back to the review, Colourpop liquid lipsticks retails for $6 a piece, roughly 300 pesos. I bought mine for  480 pesos from a workmate. Size of each tube is typical. It has a wider doe foot applicator (For easier application)
Color and texture selection is vast. LIKE, AS IN!!!!!! No wonder Colourpop is loved by everyone.
I have the satin version and the ultra matte version. From what I know there are other textures, so for this blogpost, I can only speak for the two shades/textures I got.

From the Ultra Matte line, I have the shade Kapow. (Brownish mauve)
What I can say, from trying colourpop, the texture is not like the other local liquid lipsticks. This is not "makapal" (heavy) on lips. The feel is seemless.

Review: Bench eye shadow palette

Remember when Bench is the worst makeup brand ever? Now they made a comeback with one of the best local makeup products out there!

I am very happy to finally get a hold of this amazing eye shadow palette! This palette comes in two shades fancy nude and simple nude if I'm not mistaken. I am ready to buy the 2 available shades, but unfortunately the other shade (which is better) got sold  out. The other one have more matte shades which is better in my opinion, but this specific palette is actually more on the "Party makeup". 

There are 8 shades in this palette, almost all of the shades are shimmery. The black one is not, more of a matte black  with specs of silver glitter. (Very minimal tho.) The texture of this shadow is unbelievably smooth and silky with minimal fallout. 

The packaging is just a clean and sleek container that contains the shadows. The size of each shadow is significantly big compared to other brands that offer palettes with the same price value. The price is awesome considering the quality of each shadow. 

It is very creamy and the way it swatched onto your skin instantly gives me happiness, although the applicator is just you usual throw away sponge, that doesn't change my view for this palette.

This is the look I come up with. 

Overall this palette is a must buy especially just by looking at the shade range, you can go from day to night look. This is not your usual "local" eye shadow as the quality is superb and can be compared with the international brands. This is a sure 100 points cause the quality of this palette is unreal!

Minimalist Makeup

Hello earthlings!

 

Now that I am older, I tend to choose products that will help my skin breathe. For the past few years of my life, I looked like a drag queen (NO JOKE). Arched brows with super fuchsia pink lipstick, blush on that makes me look like pikachu rather than blooming. HA! I am soooo mean with my self. Now that korean makeup is sooooo IN, here's my current minimalist makeup look, inspired by K dramas :)

First thing to consider is your skin type. Is it oily? blemished? oily combo? Dry? You have to know this before buying any products. Why? Because you should select products that will work well with your skin. 

For people with oily combo like me, you can choose products that are hydrating. Not oily nor drying. If you guys remember gel foundations, that'll hydrate your skin enough but not to the point that it'll make it look oily. 

Here's my bare face. (moisturized and primed.)

Now, instead of using heavy coverage foundation, I use bb cushion all over my face then spot conceal imperfections. This is probably the most lightweight makeup I know. And don't forget to powder your face! Set it with loose powder  focusing on areas that tends to look oily after some time.

 

 


For my eye makeup, I'll start with my brows. lightly fill the sparse areas. This will define your brows perfect for everyday! (You don't want to do the eyebrows on fleek every day! #JustSayin')

 

For my eyeliner, I make sure to line thickly. Why? Cause I look mataray with thin and elongated eyeliner. You have to examine your eyes. Don't stay with the trend, you have to stick with the techniques that work best with your face. Next is to curl my lashes and add mascara. 

For my lips, lip essence and lip tint is my holy grail!

 


For my cheeks, I always use this cheek creme by Bench. (This is probably the best I've used! Separate review coming next.)

This is the finished look! This makeup is perfect for school, office, everyday!  

 

This look is soooo simple. Perfect for everyday! especially if you hate thickly blended makeup. 

Products used:
Etude house Precious mineral magic any cushion (Magic peach)
Naturactor Cover face (151)
Nichido Final powder (Creamy Glow)
Etude house easy brow pencil (#4 dark gray)
San san eyeliner (black)
Etude house Kissful Lip Moisture Care (essence)
Revlon Just bitten Lipstain (Frenzy)
Bench Lip & Cheek creme (fuchsia pink)
