No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with BANGKOK goodies

October 27 - November 4, 2012 - BANGKOK WITH GIRLFRIENDS!!

Come on let your colors burst

This party is old and uninviting

Participants all in black and white

You entered in full-blown technicolor

Nothing is the same after tonight

As of late

I am literally hanging on by a fingernail in this blogging sinkhole, blackhole, what have you, and here goes my attempt to once again salvage my space before it settles down below the blogging graveyard. For the past 3 weeks I have withdrawn my commitment from the NGO I worked with (as it was not exactly the career move I was looking for), lived life vicariously (through-) as the adopted Gilmore Girl, and lived to tell the tale! I plan to lead a very serene life until the Mother Vacation of all staycations would come abduct me on the 27th.

Sequined-collar job

Stowing away my sequined-collar collar wardrobe as I take on a new responsibility in a corporate Non-Government Organization. A far cry from my previous Corporate-Multinational experience, I'm sure this 360 degree-change in environment will do me good. I did not anticipate my unemployment days to be cut short, lasting only 5 full days as I start with my new job tomorrow. The greatest part of it all is that I get to have a paid month-long dry run to see if this is where I want my career to head..and of course, for them to see if I'm cut for the job. If everything turns out well, I'll be regularized by October, otherwise, you know the drill. And did I mention my office is roughly 10kms away from home? Oh you bet 'cha!

Cocoa and Chanel

You only have one face so you better take damn good care of it. I obviously came a long way from my eyeliner & petroleum jelly days, expanding my cosmetics terrain with the use of BB cream and highly-pigmented, industrial strength eye shadow palettes. Ha Ha!

Inarte overkill. I'm a huge smokey eyes-fan but my lids can only take so much black make up, and with the risky nature of this style, overdoing can look horribly wrong. Until I plan on being the adopted Kardashian sister, I'm keeping my smokey eyes intensity level to a minimum, thank you. Besides, don't you just hate the feeling of burying your skin under layers and layers of make up? Because I do. One or two is simply enough.That is me in an early morning beauty product testing, completely ditching breakfast. 

Thanks Nanay for the Chanel & MAC loot and Tita Joy for the Bobbi Brown and assorted Korean goodies! I'm a happy girl for receiving pasalubongs whenever my mom's friends would go abroad! :D

All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend(s)..

See you on the dark side. Moving to www.ana-reynoso.blogspot.com in a few!
