Filipinos (probably some) love freebies. I won’t deny that I don’t too as I appreciate receiving freebies from events or promos as well. Difference is, I don’t whine or say bad things about the event organizer if I didn’t receive anything. Besides, being invited is already a huge thing for me.
While browsing through Facebook’s timeline, I came across a quite annoyingly status post from someone who generalized ASIANS and BLOGGERS. If I think about it, I can’t really blame that person for generalizing the blogosphere community. In a previous event I attended to, I was able to observe this kind of attitude in some ‘bloggers’ which is the reason why bloggers are perceived to be ‘freebie hoarders’ or ‘event crashers’. ‘Pinapa- kain ako ng blog ko’ hearing those words are the very reason why the title ‘Blogger’ has a negative impression to it.
Kids and the kid at heart were together in celebrating the launch of SM North Edsa’s, Christmas with Hello Kitty at the Block. The event was pretty crazy as there were A LOT of people that day.
It was actually my first time to go to SM North Edsa, just when I thought SM Mall of Asia was cluttered, I find this mall much more cluttered making MOA a better mall to go to. Well, that’s me anyway.
The event was supposed to start at 4pm but as usual it started fashionably late. I believe I arrived just on time and the production staff was still prepping the place.
Quickie post for today!
It was just a random day after work last week, while browsing through my personal email when I received an interesting mail. It was something not only I love, but something that I’m addicted to.. Hello Kitty! Not only was this pure love but simply awesomeness. YAY!
If you’ve been a long time reader of Inside A Cat’s Mind, you should know my love affair with anything related to Hello Kitty and Cats. So you could imagine how happy I was to have been invited for a Hello Kitty event this coming Saturday. Aside from the invite, I was also asked if I could have some of my hello kitty collections as part of their exhibit.
I’m happy that my family and I are now attending worship at Bread of Life, Greenbelt 1. It’s true when they say once you have found your church, you feel different (in a content/happy way). My family and I have been attending worship at Bread roughly around 5 years. I can’t remember the exact date we first attended worship there, nor the exact number of years we have stayed as we used to attend church at The Holy Trinity, McKinley Forbes park.
We literally grew up at Holy Trinity, but for some reason we just stopped attending church there and whatever reason it may be, I’ll just keep it at that as I don’t want to bash.
This post is dedicated for the cat lovers out there.

Hello Everyone! This will be a short post about another mini haul post for today. I bought just the basic stuff I needed because I was hitting pan already. I’m in need of a new foundation and initially, I wanted to buy the Majolica Majorca’s Pore cover foundation, but that would have to wait when money permits as I’m trying hard not to over spend beyond my means. The pore cover foundation in total would cost me P1,300+ so yeah.
My goal before this year is to at least reach 10k worth of savings in my passbook (good luck to me). Which is why, if I do plan to buy something it would have to be really important or because I’ve run out of that certain product.
Without further ado, here’s my unboxing and a slight first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
We received the 16GB which retails at roughly P21,000++ while the 32GB will probably cost more. I’m pretty hard core when it comes to apps and probably the 16GB will be maximized at it’s full potential in the future.
This week has been one of the best so far recently. Just this morning as I was preparing for a shoot, I checked my email and received an invite. I can’t disclose details about it yet, but it’s a pretty interesting one and most importantly something I’m addicted to. Don’t worry, if you know me, I would definitely blog about the event after.
My sister and I are still on a happy hangover from the contest we won and so is our mom, that she wrote a short article about us in her weekly Street Smart section. Thanks mom!
My mom was really happy for us for winning an awesome prize from Samsung Mobile Philippines.
The storm today definitely is not enough to keep me and my sister from being ecstatic! We finally got our very own prizes from the Samsung Mobile Philippines, Make my life better contest – Oh happy dance!
We still could not believe that we won as there were hundreds to thousands of entries that joined.
Many thanks to Jeck and Carlo for choosing our entry. He even said that our entry was one of the best among the others, in fact- Golden! – WOW! We were blushing and smirking deep inside.
We were all smiles up to the end of our ears, maybe even more.
Hello dear readers! Happy Hump day! Definitely is a happy hump day for me today, as I received a call from Samsung that I can claim my prize tomorrow with my sister! Woo hoo!
Anyhow, I wanted to share my thoughts about Etude’s Hair Color Bubble, which I bought during my haul last week. I know a lot of people have raved and made a review about it, but 2 people namely Kari and Mars from hereismars asked if I can post photos.
I wanted to sport a red hair and luckily they have the red wine at SM Beauty Makati.
After a very short weekend, we are yet again back to the long work week. The body dreads it, but I’m prepared for the challenges that I will face. Especially because it’s almost deadline and I hope I finish everything this week.
Attending worship yesterday at Bread of Life, Greenbelt 1 also helped my perspective about almost everything. When asked who is going through pain, there was little show of hands, but quite frankly, aren’t we all going through pain?
I recently have been joining contests again, and just a few days ago I received my prize of Cetaphil products rom Rollercoasterride’s blog.
Cetaphil is a product that is much loved in our household, thanks to my sister Amanda. Winning from a contest is an added bonus, thank you Janice.
Unfortunately, the first photos can’t be uploaded because the image format was under a RAW file format (which is not my usual format when I take pictures – long story). Those were the cute ones because our little kitten was included. Ha-ha!
Anyhow, here are the prizes and her note.
Hello dear readers! Finally it’s Friday! Where I can officially get to kick off my shoes and just relax (at least for one day).
It’s been pretty busy with work and I feel a bit frustrated for slipping up, but I take it as a challenge and learn from my mistakes. As much as I am looking forward for the weekend, I’m also excited on what will happen for next week.
In the mean time, I was able to squeeze in some shopping/rewarding myself last week and also earlier today. Of course, this post is about the inevitable haul post that I would like to share with you. Might not be interesting for most, but probably for some whose curious to know, here’s what the kitty bought last week.
After almost a month of product testing my L'Oreal Hydra fresh facial foam and anti – shine gel, I can now write down my thoughts about this product.
I’m happy that I decided to buy this product a month ago. I’ve tried a couple of oil control facial washes but none has really worked (that well) for someone who has a bad case of oilies in the face.
It’s been a while since I posted anything about games. My PS3 died down on me 3 months ago, so my only source of gaming would be PC/ laptop which is DOTA the original mod on Warcraft III.
But that is pretty old news already as DOTA 2 is slowly making it’s way available for fans. I joined STEAM, a gaming community where you can instantly access games and meet people online. You can check out more about STEAM in their website.
It was actually Martin who introduced me to STEAM and I’ve been a member since then. I installed the Kingdom of Amalur demo, and it’s definitely a good replacement for console gaming. The only thing you have to consider though is your specs. Sadly, my specs let’s say is not fit for hardcore gaming use so my DOTA 2 experience is a bit shitty – excuse the term.
When I finally received my confirmation code from Steam support. I was excited and downloaded it immediately. It took me 2 days to finish my download which is pretty fast.
It’s the start of the week again and time to roll up our sleeves! Hopefully this will be a good start of the week for all of us!
Amidst all my drama about my breakup with my ex BF, we still manage to be good friends. We’re both working on our differences and perhaps maybe in the future, we would be back together although there are no assurances. Well, let’s just see how things will go. We both have our own lives now to pursue and careers to build, I’m just happy that we still communicate every now and then. After all, we did start as really good friends back in college. And I still believe that every relationship should have that foundation.
Happy hump day people! As promised I want to share my BB cream experience with Ginvera.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I rarely include BB cream in my make-up routine for a couple of reasons. First off, I have very oily skin and it’s only recently that I found a skin care that helps regulate the sebum. Secondly, I know I haven’t tried a lot of BB creams, but more often than not it doesn’t look as natural to me.
Comparison
I’ve only tried Dr. Jart’s BB cream a year ago, and even the oil control doesn’t help. If there is one thing I liked about Dr. Jart is the coverage. I think I wasn’t able to make a “review” about the product, but I won 2 small tubes from Annalyn’s contest a year or two ago.
Moving on to Ginvera
The kind folks over at Sendah Pinoy courtesy of Mel, asked me to review one of their featured products in their site.
Ginvera BB cream, a product from Singapore. BB cream is not really a staple in my make-up routine because I’ve yet to find one that won’t give me a white cast and at the same time won’t make my face much more oily than it already is. Since I’ve only tried Dr. Jart BB cream, I am more than willing to experiment and see if I will like it or not.
I will make a review as soon as I have the extra time to take photos of swatches and that I have given the product enough time to test it out. And just a heads up, I will not sugar coat a review just because it is given to me.
In the mean time, I simply want to say thank you for sending me a couple of samples for me to try.
Quiet time…
Most nights when I have a hard time sleeping I turn to my 3 year old journal. You can pretty much say that my journal is my life, since I record every good and bad moments in my life.
