Keeping busy

It's weird how we all look forward to every break form school that we get but a few days after the break has started we all complain about how boring it is. Funny, isn't it? I guess we all need a couple of days to recharge then go back to work. Well, that's how it works for me.

One of my worries when the break started was that I might go crazy not doing anything. Although there a couple of things that I would love to do but somehow.. it doesn't really happen, there are other things that I do just to make myself feel busy or what not.

For the last couple of days, I've been going around the metro running errands for my parents and the wildest errand I had to run was shipping fruits to my grandparents back in Samar because I had to go to the airport and get a permit! But look, even the airport was feeling the Christmas spirit:
NAIA Terminal 3 Christmas 3. HAHAHA
Getting those fruits a permit to fly!
That's not the end of it though but the following days was definitely rewarding. We went out to burn all the calories we ate and we even had a photo taken with Santa!!

Lavin kids with Santa!
The break is not over yet! There are more adventures waiting for me! :D

A New Everyday Look?

I've always had a bunch of make up with me but I never really put them to good use. Since I'm on Christmas break and I have a lot of free time with me now, I take my time to put on some make up before leaving the house.

Please excuse my awkward photos. Hahaha! Anyway, it's easy and it doesn't really take as much time and it's something that I can wear going to school. So here's what I used (if you're wondering)

Tony Moly's Dear Me BB Cream
Maybelline's Black Gel Liner
Stila's Major Major Lashes
Tony Moly's Berry Lovely Girl Dual Lipliner

I'm thinking of buying a liquid liner to make it easier for me to do my eyes, hahaha.

Christmas "feeling"

Christmas really brings its own spirit when the season comes. Don't you veer get that "Christmas feeling"? I used to get that feeling until school took away every feeling that I can ever have.

In six months, I will be graduating from university and it's something that I really cannot grasp, I don't know what I want to do - yet. This has pretty much taken up all the space in my head so I haven't been able to feel much.. if that is even possible.

Earlier today, I rode a jeepney along Taft avenue to get to my condo and it was a typical jeepney ride until a half-paralyzed old man rode the jeep. For some reason, I wanted to cry. I guess seeing him trying to survive this world moved me so much because I'm always on the brink of giving up. He rode the jeep in great struggle but he was able to do it with some help from a gentleman. Upon sitting down, he reached down his pocket looking for money to pay the fare. Maybe I should pay for him instead.... this thought was playing around my head; he stretched his arm out to give the money to the driver but the driver politely refused his money. He probably thought that this old man can use his Php 8.00 for something better. What is Php 8.00 less from your earnings if you helped an old man survive life? It was a really moving scene.

I guess it was in this jeepney ride that I was able to get that "Christmas feeling" that I thought I'd lost. It gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I see people being nice to others.
