Three Significant Milestones that will Define Your Future

“You may or may not know it, but there are three significant milestones in a person’s life that will define his/her future”

Aloha!

I know it’s been a while since my last post due to hectic corporate life (where is work-life balance? Haha) but today, I wanna share an important lesson, a learning that was shared during my most recent overseas training for work.

Our instructor, who happened to have a very relevant contribution in the company where I work at, shares about the three significant milestones in a person’s life that will define his/ her future.  There may be a lot of factors that will define your future, but these three really make sense and are noteworthy enough and here are they:

1. Graduating from College, and the University Where You Will Graduate Matters.

The very first milestone that will define a person’s future is the day he/she graduated from college. But of course, as most of us really undergo this process, the significant factor that sets you apart from others and helps define your own future is “where” or in what University-slash-school you will finish your tertiary studies.

FOTD : Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila

Hi there! I know I have in a way promised to post FOTD as part of my makeup quest, but then, due to hectic sched (or at least a valid reason), its taking me forever to post one. Glad that last Saturday, because my boyfriend and I were scheduled to watch the Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila, I got a valid reason to doll up a little and finally got a chance to play on my beauty arsenal.

And so without further ado, presenting the culprits behind my “Wicked” look:

• Face Primer: Sephora Smoothing Primer

• Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid- SPF 15 (Shade: NC30)

• Powder Foundation: MAC Studio Fix (Shade: NC30)

• Concealer: Maybelline Liquid Concealer

• Blush: MAC Blush Coral Peach

• Eye Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion

• Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette

• Lipstick: MAC Cosmo  (Amplified Crème)

• Eyeliner: Revlon Liquid Eyeliner

Things You’ll Learn from Oscars 2014

“No matter where you're from your dreams are valid"

Oscars 2014 had been concluded. 

Netizens all over the globe have expressed both their satisfaction and disappointment on the results of winners. Some have expressed their admiration, named their own best and even worst-dressed celebrities who absolutely did their best to glam-up for the highly-acclaimed awards event.  And while most of the stories have focused on these, I decided to focus on what seem to be relevant and applicable on our own daily lives -- life lessons which we can get from these highlights:

Do Not Worry, Be Happy

“So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Many of us (Catholics) may have been able to relate (or hopefully had been moved) with today’s Gospel which actually tackles the following:

• On Serving Two Masters
• On Worrying

Why Ati-Atihan in Ibajay is Worth-Celebrating

Ati-Atihan in Ibajay may not be known or popular religious festive compared to many. But I must say that it is the most genuine and humbling way of expressing faith. Viva Sr. Sto. Nino!

Last January 24-25, I had a chance to celebrate the Annual Ati-Atihan festival in our province, Aklan. Contrary to what others commonly know, the festive is being celebrated twice in the province:  first is in the province’s capital, Kalibo, and second is in a town named Ibajay.

Since both my parents came from Ibajay (or at least near that), I happen to almost annually celebrate and attend the Ati-Atihan festival (sort of a “Panata”). Fortunately this year, with God’s grace, I was able to celebrate it, and shout-out-loud with praise “Viva Sr. Sto. Nino!”
