Done with IL

Three weeks ago, I almost pulled out one of the two insurance policies I got from one of the biggest insurance companies in the country because (as per my agent) the company would not be able to meet the promised plan value anymore. I was pissed to bits, I tell you. Good thing I have a husband who brings me back to sanity on such occasions. Since there’s only three more payments left, hubby advised against pulling out and told me to just settle my obligation. I may not get the expected returns, but there will be returns nonetheless. After this experience, trust me not to get a life insurance quote from that company any longer. I’d rather put my hard-earned money in an insurance company other than IL.

Makeup Workshop by Myca Feng

I was finally able to attend the Basic Make-up Workshop conducted by Myca Feng last Saturday.

dsc08304.JPGThe afternoon session began by Myca distributing handouts and makeup brush sets. She then proceeded to discuss topics such as basic skin care, basic makeup tools, and proper makeup application. The hours that followed included makeup demonstrations by the makeup artist and actual makeup application by the students. I was eyes and ears during the demo since I really wanted to learn how to apply eye makeup. I even volunteered to be the model on the glam makeup demo :D Thing is she only did half of my face then the other half was up to me. Scary! I thought I’d look like it at the end of the workshop! Hahaha! But because she was a pretty good instructor, I was able to replicate what she did (save for the eyebrows which I forgot to line. hahaha). Here’s a photo I took when I got home:

  • Fyi, Myca did the right side of my face, I did the left (notice the eyebrows? :D )
  • Don’t mind the lips as I already removed the lipstick after our merienda. Didn’t bother to re-apply anymore

I have never seen a dishwasher installed in a Filipino home. This is most probably because Filipino households have at least one helper who does the dishwashing for them. But I bet if we do not have helpers, a dishwasher would be a staple in our homes. What brand to buy though? I’ve heard of the Hobart dishwasher brand, and I think it’s one of the more reliable products out there.  May it be the Hobart dishwasher built-in type or the stand-alone Hobart dishwasher type, one can be assured that he’s getting a quality product.  But hey.  Until the time comes when we can afford dishwashers over helpers, buying this nice to have kitchen equipment may be put on hold.
