The Amazing Race for Foundation

Gahhh!! I'm tired of trying to look for where I can buy cheap foundation! I actually have 2 foundations in my makeup bag. To tell you the truth, I didn't even give a shit about fondies (see, I've adapted the pet name for it as well) until my cousin's wedding. I'm seriously confused, I have a few days to try this stuff. Well, I'm going out Monday night, so we'll see if I'll actually get anything from this fondie stuff. I've already tried one of them. 
1. Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation - not exactly for working out in the sun, or in hot humid places. But it's pretty okay, and good for people with pretty good complexion.  It doesn't last all hours, if any only lasts about a good four hours. I've tried setting it with all-in-one shine free cake powder, but when I get to the office I eventually sweat if off.

2. Avon Ideal White Dual Powder Foundation - I put this on top of my current face, with the maybelline stuff. I put it on about 4 hours ago and haven't gotten up since. I haven't sweat yet, so no stress test has been conducted. Although, I did notice that this stuff has pretty BAAAADD coverage when you first put it on. Spell P-O-R-E-S. Now I knew what they meant when they said you could actually see pores highlited, or the pores became little dots on the face.I now also understand what they mean by ashy. It's like when you  put baby powder on your face, except it's not that white. But it's obvious that it's been powdered. I guess this is the cakey look that they mean, too.Ugh. But sitting here 4 hours later, it seems to lose the pasty, ashy look. Oh and another thing: as easy as you can get it from the compact, that's how easy it can transfer elsewhere! I'm going to give this two more test runs tomorrow and we'll see. I do like the finish though, it seems very nice under regular light. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow out in the sun.

The Real Challenges in Life

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cynthia Maipid < cmaipid@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:30:33 +0800 Subject: The Real Challenges in Life To: cmaipi.ondgo@blogspot.com I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield. Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a new way to fix my schedule in such a way ...

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.
