Replacing my old watches.

Nika — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 12:04:11 +0000

I have lots of watches that relatives bring home as gifts but I only have two special watches that I really use and treasure. The first one is a Swiss Army watch that my aunt gave me. I really treasure it because this aunt has helped me a lot for the past 10+ years and she continues to help our family up to now. Whenever I wear it, I always remember how much she’s helped me in school and how much she cares for all of us. The other watch is a Fossil one and was given to me by my Mom when I was still in college. It’s a pretty silver and pink colored watch with crystals. Since it’s a bit old now, I already lost around 3 of the crystals and it’s starting to look a bit battered. xD

I’m thinking of getting a watch for myself. I saw St. Moritz watches online and I really liked some of the styles I saw. I’m really interested in the Momentum® M50 Mark II (Stainless Steel) and the two-toned Momentum Stella Maris watch. The first one is perfect for active days while the second one is more feminine which I can wear when I have meetings or when I go to events.

Halloween is coming.

I don’t really celebrate Halloween but I do enjoy watching Halloween episodes of TV programs and series. I haven’t really tried wearing costumes but I would like to try it sometime. I saw a sexy red wig that I’d love to try since dyeing my hair red doesn’t work. I’ve tried several times with a local hairdresser but my hair is just too dark for it to work so i always ended up with a reddish shine than color .

I’d love to pair it with a white Grecian gown, a gold pair of sandals and gold necklace with red details. I’m really loving red these days. Maybe I’m starting to embrace my Arian side (Yep, I’m an Aries baby).

Blisters.

I’m looking at possible acne scar treatments because of the scar I have in my face. I think its due to acne because it didn’t go away and it looks like age spots right now which is quite unappealing. I still have to check with the dermatologist if it was indeed caused by acne and if we can get it removed.

I tend to prick my pimples and I can’t stop it even when I know it isn’t good for my skin. T_T My poor face is now dotted with red blisters because I popped them. >.<

I want my boots.

Saw this over at clarks shoes:

I want one! I remember when we were in Hongkong. Au and Vicky wanted to get a pair, I wanted one as well but we weren’t able to find some because we were quite busy jumping from one place to another. I can certainly use these boots next time I come to Hongkong while its still cold. I don’t want to wear my worn out rubber shoes anymore. Plus these look gorgeous to wear.

Riding in style.

Playing in PonyIsland means I usually encounter threads that discuss about riding horses. I haven’t really ridden a horse, unless you count the time I was around 3 or 5 and we were in Baguio. I get intrigued by what they wear because I really like how equestrian apparel looks. I can’t find the right word to define what I think, but the nearest one I can think of is “proper” like those preppy uniforms. I do know that some of my tastes are weird but I really like how beautiful equestrians look. I want to try riding but I’d have to lose weight first. I don’t want the poor horses to break their bones.

Pores, pores, pores.

Maybe I should try local acne cleansers that’s readily available from the supermarket. But then I don’t want to make a mistake and make myself too dry. Lately I’ve been going from oily to normal to dry and back. I have to remember to get some pore strips from Watsons. I have so many blackheads right now and its annoying me. I have to get myself a facial before my HK trip. I need it bad.

Zitty week.

The break outs I’m currently experiencing is making me even more stressed out. I don’t know what product to use on my face anymore. The ones I have right now are not working and even the old ones I used isn’t helping when I tried them again. I do hope its not acne, but if that is the case, I’ll have to find the best acne treatment possible without breaking my budget. I’m going to hold using the LR products I got and find a gentler one.

Changing creams and facial products.

Nika — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:01:03 +0000

I have been using a night face cream a couple of weeks ago but I stopped. Mom noticed that it was making our faces darker and that’s still without sun exposure. I know it for a fact because I had been cooped up in my room working on some projects and the only places I went to was the bathroom and the kitchen/dining area. I’m still trying to find a better alternative which wouldn’t badly affect my skin so for now I’m not using any facial products.

Wash, dry and go.

Mom has been talking about getting herself a wrinkle cream. She wants to try Olay and see if it works. I’m not a face cream person so I don’t exactly share her enthusiasm. I do care for my face, I just can’t stick with the regimen other women seem to have when it concerns their faces. I usually just wash my face and I’m done. I don’t like high maintenance regimens which not only costs expensive but also takes so much of my time.

Missing my friends a lot.

Nika — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:03:32 +0000

Since this past month has been really hectic, I’m missing my friends more. I saw Au, Drew and Ayeen a week ago but I still want to spend more time with them. If I had the money we could go and have some relaxing time by availing some spa services. I need one badly. Lol. Maybe once things start picking up, I can try colon cleanse. I’ve seen some television programs talk about them and I am quite intrigued.
