Extended Holidays Over. Officially.

January 28, 2012 by MrsC | Patricia Cuyugan Leave a Comment

So, this morning I decided to step on the scale for the first time this year. Part of me couldn’t help but think, why would I do that when I already pretty much knew what was coming? But my better judgment told me to just get on with it. So I did, and it officially marked the end of my ultra extended holiday season.

The verdict? I’m back where I started around this time last year. The good news is, there wasn’t really a significant decline in my weight in 2011 anyway compared to the previous year, so the damage is not that immense. At the same time, I know in my heart that all joy I felt at the parties and moments of togetherness with family and friends can never be replaced. This was an extra special holiday season for me, and I will blog about that separately real soon. The key now is to get back on track, and get back on it right about now.

I won’t be hard on myself over this. The fact that I am still on a high from all the fun makes it all worth it. A happy me is way better than a hungry me, as far as I’m concerned. But yeah, time to put in the extra work. Unless I wanna look like a strawberry next February.

Panda bookmark kills Chapter Eight of One Day

This bookmark may be cute, but it just ruined my book. 🙁

Back To Reality

Back to reality = Back in uniform
 
 
Yes I’m making a ducky face. (Photographed with my BB9900)
 

Now that I think about it, I don’t think any of my friends has seen me in uniform. Apart from my family and my officemates, I’ve not been spotted in my brown outfit just yet, which is odd considering I’ve been walking around the mall in it for a few weeks now. Here’s a sneak peek for those who are wondering what our uniform looks like. What do you guys think? Honestly?

Today’s Face

December 30, 2011 by MrsC | Patricia Cuyugan Leave a Comment

One of my resolutions for 2012 is to be mindful of my appearance. I’m starting a few days early with this first post on my new “Today’s Face” photo project, which is an attempt to learn how to properly use all the makeup thingamajiggies I’ve been buying and receiving, documented through photographs.

Today’s face was put together for our annual family new year’s lunch in Valle Verde, followed by an afternoon at work for our last set of events for the year.

Bits & Pieces:
* The Face Shop Hydro Splash BB Cream SPF20
* Elf Liquid Concealer (Apricot Beige)
* Elf Mineral Foundation SPF15 (Fair)
* MAC Snowglobe Eyeshadow Palette / Sultry (Lightfully & Fun!)
* Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner (02 Brown)
* The Face Shop Freshian Volumizing Mascara (Black)
* The Face Shop Lovely Me:ex Blusher (PK104)
* Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick SPF15 (Perfect Pink)

I never knew makeup could be so addicting. Never saw it coming!

Two Down!

December 3, 2011 by MrsC | Patricia Cuyugan Leave a Comment

Got my Seattle’s Best Journal yesterday! My to do list has been getting longer by the day and my trusty AXN notebook from Mr C is slowly but surely running out of blank pages. I almost settled on a basic boring blue steno notebook for all my note taking needs, but luckily I now can continue to write in style. Too bad it doesn’t come with a pen, but it does have a little handy notepad, and a CD of music that I suppose they play in the stores. My favorite freebies that come with the journal are, of course, the free drinks, and the 24hours worth of free in-store WiFi coupons!

Yay! It’s mine, all mine!
Got the green one. (Sorry for the lousy phone cam photo)
SBC store music sampler?
Notepad. Super useful.

 

 

Free drinks + free WiFi. Couldn’t ask for more!
I love ruled pages!

Now that I have both of the coffee shop diaries I wanted, I’m guessing I’ll be able to cut down on coffee. Or maybe not.
