This month I went to Matabungkay Beach Hotel and Resort in Matabungkay, Lian, Batangas which is only a few kilometers away from my hometown, Balayan. My family and I used to come to that beach during the summer and more often when there's not much people around; that place could get so crowded easily because it was - still is, apparently - quite popular with both the locals and tourists. I think I blogged about it here before in our previous trip there. I don't know.

Anyway, snippets here and there from our camera. Enjoy.

Hotel facade. Sadly I didn't get to capture the whole front of the hotel.

The very first starfish I came across. After that I saw about twenty or thirty more lying around.

We resorted to kayaking because there's no way we could swim with all the seaweed around.

Guests from neighboring resorts. If you take a close look at the water you can see that it's riddled with seaweed. I'm really disappointed that we were unable to swim in the ocean! So much for getting a beachfront hotel. :(

Frog by the poolside. Saw it swimming in the pool and almost got sucked in by the filters before I fished it out. 

You could have died, Trevor. I saved your life.

So there, a weekend in Matabungkay. Got there for cheap, too, because of their promo (which is over now). New update very soon. I'm quite excited because I'll be spending my weekend in another resort with my friends. Snippets to follow. Can't waaaait.

Hi!

Just letting the very few people who read this blog know that I'm still alive. Lol. I got a little lazy busy the past few months, which carelessly explains the lack of updates recently. I've also had a lot of school work done, which gives me a sort of valid excuse. Haha.

Anyway I purchased these lens some time ago and I only remembered to post about them now. These are the Girly Chip Soy Latte Brown lens that I've decided to use for casual days. I got them from Japanese Candy. You guys should check out that sale they're having up till now; super cheap lens and cute designs. They ship worldwide, I think.

Disclaimer: This is not a review, and not a sponsored post. I'm just posting this because I want to, and also I'm testing out my camera.

So here's some pics of the lens, plus some info.

Front and back view of the vials.

Lens design, plus the free lens case that came with them.

The design, up close. You can click the picture if you want a larger view.

I must admit I was a little disappointed with the design. It doesn't show much when I wear the them (no pics, sorry) and it's most likely because I have dark brown eyes and that obscures the design, I think. I was aiming  for something with the same effects as the Max Pure Brown lens, though with the realization that my eye color affects the entire outcome I'm guessing I won't have much luck no matter what series I buy.

So that's it for now. To keep things afloat maybe I'll post a few photos of my recent trip to Matabungkay with le boyfie. Out for now~

Blogging to pass the time, lol. Actually I'm just doing this so I won't have to type that reflection paper/essay that's due tomorrow. Yay for pathetic excuses! :))

Classes got suspended today, although the announcement came super late as should always be expected. I'm glad I never got to leave the house because by the time I was gearing up to go the flood outside was almost knee-deep already. I just waited around for the late announcement before changing to my lazy rainy-day clothes, hehe. 

Then I spent the next 10 hours watching Let's-Play videos in YouTube and lurking around in Facebook like a good netizen should. :D I actually got around to watching the walkthroughs of them creepy games like Amnesia and Cry of Fear; being bundled up under your blankets on a cold day while watching scary-ass videos is THE best thing ever. 

I think the only setback is that I didn't get to do my report which I worked so hard on. Well, not that hard but I did put a considerable amount of effort and I think that should at least be mentioned. Fortunately my professor was kind enough to allow me to deliver my report next week, probably because my work partner begged him to give us a chance. I'm thinking she couldn't do the entire thing by herself. After all, I had 90% of the data with me. >:D Okay, I may have imagined that was what happened but he did give us a chance and I'm very grateful. 

So, what else did I do...?

Hehe! I absolutely love lazy afternoons. I was also planning on baking some choco fudge brownies but I later decided to save my stash for another day. Maybe tomorrow? I still need a proper baking pan, after all.

Now I just remembered that movie review I should also get started on. Haha, so much work to do~ I've decided on reviewing the new Spiderman movie, since that was the most recent film I've watched. ALSO IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. :D Loved how they caught Spidey's sense of humor really well, and the cinematography was well-done. It's a little fast-paced but I like it. Will post about that movie date another time. Right now it's time for me to make dinner and stuff my face with more food. ~~~~~~~~/o/

Just another quick update. No, there's nothing wrong with your browser; I've tweaked my blog's template and here's the temporary layout - just a clean, simple aesthetic. I've been leaning more and more into minimalism and I've been trying to incorporate the idea into most things in my life, including the way I dress up. Some would argue that it's being lazy but I like to pretend that's not it. :))

In case no one noticed (which is very likely), I also changed my URL to subliminalwish. I thought it would be much  easier to remember than my old one (silhouetteash). Also much easier to spell, lol.

July is literally just around the corner. In two weeks I'll be having my prelims exams, plus the two most important men in my life would be celebrating their respective birthdays! Already I'm panicking a bit because I don't know what gifts to get them. Any suggestions?

I'm marking this date on my calendar as I've received some good news from my best friend, Justine - she'll be giving birth today~! She wanted to share the same birthday with her would-be daughter and just this morning she and her husband headed to the hospital. Too excited to finally meet my goddaughter! :D

Wow, this has been such an interesting post so far. /sarcasm. Lol. I probably just did this for the sake of blogging. I don't like to keep things stagnant, plus it's a great way to keep myself busy. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because Kenso and I will be watching The Amazing Spiderman tomorrow~! I've been hearing great feedback about the movie so I have high hopes that this won't be a let-down. I reserved some tickets two days ago as a surprise but somehow he always finds out about it, lol. 

Will post pictures of the movie date after tomorrow! Oya~ ♥

Hi! Just a very quick-ish post of how my week was so far~  And since I can't remember what happened for the most part of the week, let's fast forward to last Thursday where my good friend Maddie and I had a cosplay shoot in Quezon City Memorial Circle.

I went as Kaiko, the genderbent version of Kaito who's a Japanese voice synthesizer program, called Vocaloid. They're quite popular nowadays. Plz look their songs up in Youtube - you'll never regret it.

Or some shit like that, lol. I actually joined this shoot a bit impulsively as I've been entertaining the notion of finally selling most of my costumes and cosplay stuff, just to make some more space for my clothes. #cosplayerproblems

Shot by kuya Pef Decena, who was very kind enough to come with us on such short notice. ♥

Maybe next week I'll post up an album with all the things I'll sell, including clothes I don't/never got to wear. 

I think out of all my costumes I'll probably miss Kaiko the most. But that's not really saying something because I've cosplayed very few characters. Still, I liked her costume the best - my Assassin Cross coming in second place.

"Nyaaaa~!"

Finished shooting by 6pm. After that we were just too exhausted for anything else so we all went straight home. 

The next day I dropped by SM North after class to meet up with a client. I sold my ToraDora uniform costume to a very cute little girl :D And while I was roaming in the department store waiting for her, I bumped into Seph and Shai of LoveChic! I was quite hesitant to approach them at first, but YOLO. :D

They were incredibly nice, and very friendly. ♥ In retrospect, I feel that I spazzed so much it kind of freaked them out a bit, lol. And if they had any afterthought along the lines of, "Heh, that was weird. And creepy." I'd never blame them. :))

The week isn't done yet, I know. Insomnia does a lot of things to you. :D Tomorrow my boyfriend and I are going to attend the last day of the 11th Philippine Toy Convention in Megamall. Will upload pics as soon as I get enough sleep. 

Will end this abruptly with one last shot of my face, lol. 

Till my next post~ ♥
