I love you because, I can tell you anything and you will always listen. Because even though we may not see eye to eye, we always agree to disagree. Because you make me smile so much, and that’s so comforting to me. Because your passion and your sense of wonder turns me on. Because cuddling with you makes me feel like I am in heaven. Because you may not see it, but you’re so charming, physically and spiritually. Because when we try to compromise, we look so cute trying. Because we know when to be serious, funny, mature and immature together. Because we can be silent together and still know what we’re saying. Because even though we have our differences, we know whats more important. Because you help me grow, because you make me want to be better. And last but not least, because you are my best friend and my life.

Thanks for catching me whenever I fall……. ♥

Tea time!

2012-02-24T02:20:00.004+08:00

What little girl wouldn't love holding mini tea parties in her imaginary world?

It all started when I was a little girl, I love to play dress up. And sometimes, I would act like I was going for a tea party. I swear I was the vainest kid among my cousins and I'd put on my favorite dress and smack on my mom's red lipstick on my lips. You'd find me sitting in one corner of the living room, forcing my younger cousins or soft toys (pretending their my friends) to play along and create my very own imaginary world with my plastic tea sets.

Now that I'm a grown up, I go for the real stuff!

Today, I had a cute little high-tea date with my dearest zs at Arteastiq and the food was pretty much up to our expectations.

We ordered their afternoon special which was 2 (pax) for $48 and another 2 plates of finger food called the Winter Salmon and Viva Duck. If you're splitting the bill, I think the prices are rather reasonable.

Here are a few snapshots that we took:

And we pretty much finished everything.
With our pinkies up, of course.
Happy Friday, friends!

Happy people. #2

#note to a friend

2012-02-20T19:31:00.000+08:00

Losing someone you really cared about, or having to let go of someone you loved is something we will have to go through in this world. We will live with it, experience it, and grow from it. We need to be strong and believe that something good is coming our way. Losing faith in life and in love and in ourselves is not healthy and will never make things better. Get a post it, write this on it and put it on your mirror: “This too shall pass” and “To everything there is a season.” You will find that living in the moment is very gratifying once life is not just a sad and nervous bundle of regrets from the past, or fears of the future. Know that you are human, that you hurt, but that you are also capable of letting go. You are capable of sharing your best qualities, and your love with someone worth having. Create the right time, by taking your time and remaining true to your self and your highest values, most beautiful character, and your most compassionate giving and loving self. You will not always feel like this, you will feel better, you were you long before you became we. <3

First of all, I'd like to give a big thank you to ASHINCANS (click to be linked) for the sponsored pieces!I was given the privilege to choose any clothing I want and there were so many pieces that caught my attention but I didn't want to be greedy and only picked 3 pieces. Here are the pieces that I picked: (one at the top and the rest at the bottom)

When the parcel arrived at my door a few days back, I was utterly amazed by this top above. I never expect the collar to be detachable which I think is really versatile. You can wear it depending on your mood or match the detachable collar with other tops which will bring out a whole new look and different style.
So what are you waiting for? Start shopping at ASHINCANS now and check out their new collection!
Note: Don't forget to quote "Joanne" to get FREE normal postage for the month of February!And ASHINCANS is having a retail rack at Miyoc Store Orchard Central #05-12Please check it out when you're in town!!! :)

#Food made w love.

2012-02-09T18:20:00.001+08:00

Remember I once mentioned about how much I was in love with my boyfriend maid's chicken macaroni salad (the Philippine style)? And my boyfriend refused to let me have the recipe?
Yea great, now that she's no longer working for his family, I have no chance of eating them anymore..
After staying up in the late hours for some research and every tutorials are in Tagalog, I decided to figure the recipe out myself. And OH YEA~! I did it! And today the selfless me is gonna share my recipe with you! :)
Prepare:A bag of macaroni1 piece of chicken breast1/2 chopped onions and 1/2 diced carrots1 can of condensed milk1 jar of Mayonnaise1 box of cube cheese
First, soak your macaroni in the water. I'm using 2/3 of a bag of 500g macaroni.
Slice the onion into half and chop them into pieces.Same goes to the carrots. And boil them altogether until it is semi-cooked.
After rinsing your macaroni, boil them until it is soft. Not too soft, of course.

Prepare your chicken breast meat and remove the skin and fats.
Boil, and start shredding!
Pour everything into the bowl of macaroni and start mixing! Then, pour 2/3 of condensed milk and mayonnaise. (You can readjust the amount on your own preference) Now that you're done, slide the bowl into your fridge and let it cool.
And you're ready to serve!
Good luck! :)

Hi guys! I've finally did a video on my daily make up routine. If you realized, something is missing in this video... the introduction. I did an introduction and I realized it was too lengthy and dull and redundant, so I'd decided to give it a miss. Also, something to add on, my camera cut off the part where I did my concealer on. So yea, I basically applied some concealer around my eye area and that's it! This is a really simple look, I hope it isn't a disappointment!
Disclaimer: This is not a make up tutorial! It is basically a video on how I usually do my make up. However, on special occasions, more make up will be applied to enhance my other features.. hehe
Here are the products I use:Concealer: Erase Paste Benefit
Eyeliner: Bobbi Brown Eyeliner Gel Black Ink
Brows: Bobbi Brown Eyeliner Gel Sepia Ink
Eyelash Curler: Shu Uemura
Mascara: Maybellin The Falsies
I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll talk to you soon!xo

2012-01-28T03:44:00.000+08:00

there was more food than this...

Haha I'm updating my blog at freaking 3:40 AM with my mask on. So... Baby came over my place for visiting yesterday and guess what he did! Just right before he stepped into my house, he gave me a call to tell me that he forgot to bring his mandarin oranges over and I had to sneak two oranges out of my house for him to 拜年. It was so funny because my dad exchanged the oranges without knowing that those belonged to us. Once we were done with lunch, baby hopped onto my bed and he fell into deep sleep immediately for more than an hour straight! Yes he was really exhausted from watching home movies (breaking dawn) together at his place the night before. Haha he was so cute ♥

An idea struck me and I tried using my ring to tie my hair and surprisingly, it was able to hold my hair up! You can give it a try girls, I think it's a great idea for a new look!
Met up with Chermaine and Destinee for Shabu Shabu buffet at Suki-YaI LOVE SHABU SHABU

Went to Chocz and bought 3 bags of choc marshmallows and strawberries. Strawberries are my favourite.
We got a random stranger to take picture for us and she was so reluctant that she simply snap it half-heartedly. haha

Traveled down to town to have Muesli from Red Mango and nope, Destinee didn't get her share because she had hers from Esplanade. I love my girls heehee ♥

Had lunch with Charis, MJ and TetTet at Tanglin Club this afternoon. These people are so cute, they order SO MUCH FOOD. haha oh well so when I finally got home, I picked up my running shoes and ran a straight 2 hours. It has been quite awhile since I had a long run, I never felt so great!

lousy drinker

2012-01-08T22:53:00.000+08:00

yup that's right. I must admit that I'm nothing but a lousy drinker.. Haha! I felt terribly bad because I started puking when we were about to leave Envy. Sigh, you just got to understand that I hardly drink or hit to the club. But I definitely had fun with my friends!

I WAS SO HAPPY TO MEET SANDRA AND HK!!!It has been about a year since I last saw them?

Haha that's about it! Happy Saturday! :)

your heart

2012-01-04T02:19:00.003+08:00

I don't mind your odd behavior
It's the very thing I savor
If you were an ice cream flavor,
You would be my favorite one
My imagination sees you
Like a painting by Van Gogh
Starry nights and bright sunflowers
Follow you where you may go

Oh, I've loved you from the start
In every single way
And more each passing day
You are brighter than the stars
Believe me when I say,
It's not about your scars...
It's all about your heart- Mindy Gledhill
I love these two shots taken by Jeline. I think it's nicely taken! Here's a song that has been on my repeat playlist for quite some time, I hope you like it :)

2012-01-03T20:57:00.000+08:00

My first post of the year goes to you!

STEAMING HOT!!!!!!!!!!

A year in review: 2011

2012-01-01T19:55:00.004+08:00

I went into this year promising myself that it would be better than the last.

2011 was kind of.. well.. a year of learning and a year of growing, obtaining the knowledge and strength for me.

My boyfriend amazingly fulfilled two of my wishes. To meet Jay Chou and Taylor Swift. I was in tears of joy when I finally got to see Jay Chou in person. I have been a fan of him since I was 12 but today, I'm proud to say I'm out of this fantasizing thingy. I remember vividly how my boyfriend popped by at my workplace with Taylor Swift concert tickets and left me jaw dropping.
And also not to forget my beloved father who treated his two perfect daughters to JB concert. ♥♥♥

and there was a period of time when I fell out of love, it was the time when I gained a lot of wonderful new friends this year, I also had to say goodbye to a few old ones that I was not at all ready to say goodbye to.

Despite the break up, I'm glad we made it through and instead, made us stronger than before.
it was painful, but all worth it.

and also not to forget the sweater that I took a year to complete. It's an accomplishment too! (although it doesn't fit perfectly because I got all my measurements wrong...)

And whats more than feeling the accomplishment after a long painstaking time of studying? There's another tormenting time for me to face in July. But that's life right? No pain, no gain.

I had been actually working in RenCi hospital as a temp for a few months and everywhere was filled with nice people. It was an eye opener to me seeing really sick old people who were sent into the nursing home by their families and most of them were abandoned. It was so sad and heartbreaking.

and who made my year 2011 a perfect ending? MY PARENTS.THEY ARE SO AWESOME. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to visit these places:

YES. DISNEYLAND AT LOS ANGELES

VEGAS

GRAND CANYON and THE EAGLE POINT

MONTEREY BAY and PIER 39

laughter and tears,

heartbreaks and promises,

successes and failures.

What a beautiful year it was.

Hello 2012,

You've got some big shoes to fill.

xoxoxoxoxo

New Year

2012-01-01T15:23:00.001+08:00

Happy New Year people! So, my new year went off pretty badly at the end due to bad planning. But hey, I will come out with a better plan next year!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with your family and friends, celebrating all that this holiday means to you.
Last night, I was at my uncle's place having a family gathering. The adults came out with a potluck dinner and so my mom was pretty much busy in the day making glutinous rice ice-cream dessert for everyone. And my pretty cousin, Destinee, baked Carrot Cake and Oreo cheesecake. It was a good try haha.
Baby came to pick me up at 11 and drove back to his place for Vannesa's 18th birthday party. She looked so amazing last night. See that pretty dress on her?

Happy Holidays, friends.

dragged baby out of bed and droved down to East Coast park to have a late lunch

We decided check out I12 Katong mall and it's like a family shopping mall...

Baby suggested to catch 2 movies at once and we caught We bought a zoo and Mission Impossible.Both of us agreed that We bought a zoo was a better movie than MI. Why?? Because MI is soooo draggy! All the extra moves and stunts just to get the mission accomplished. LolSuki-ya was the initial plan but we had no time for buffet (as we still have another movie to catch) so we decided to dine in Astons.

Last night, an impromptu decision to hang out with ZS. Accompanied her to get her navel pierced and caught Happy Feet 2. Penguins are the most adorable thing in the world. It makes me want to own one badly :( I'm sooo ready for Christmas! 35 more days to go! Whee :)

The one that got away.

Oh Deer.

2011-11-18T23:06:00.000+08:00

I ate buttery butter crabs and Koi for dinner, you guys.
All the grease, sugar and regrets...
I don't know why I gave in but I felt really terrible afterwards.
But I really enjoyed my dinner though.. Sigh
All my running from yesterday has gone to waste, once again.

Anyway, here are some low quality pictures taken from my iPhone. Pardon me hehe

So having Starbucks in the morning has became part of my daily routine (when I have the time to)

and three cheers to The Impossible Project!! This is not an advertorial but I really want to share it with you because I'm quite sure Polaroid lovers would be interested badly. This is GOOD STUFF :)

My package has finally arrived! I ordered like 5 boxes of films!I really had a hard time finding Polaroid 600 films and it is almost impossible to get it in Singapore. With The Impossible Project, I can just order it anytime I want. Of course, it really depends on your luck to get the colored films.I didn't get the colored ones though! It was OOS but I think its back? So quickly order!
Unfortunately,I had a little bad experience with them though. My orders were deleted somehow despite being told that my transaction was approved. But the customer service was really helpful and efficient, and I received it in less than a week. Gosh, I really can't wait to use them in my holidays! #Happyme :)

And today, I was transferred to the nursing home to assist a colleague to dig out the patients old documents. This is my first time here.
It is really heart wrenching to see lonely old people suffering and there are patients who refused to take any form of treatments just because they couldn't afford the bills. What I'm implying here is, live life to the fullest when you're still young and kicking. Always put health before wealth and treasure what you have right now. Learn to stop comparing because there will always be someone better than you.

With love, Joanne.

2011-11-18T10:19:00.001+08:00

I...deleted most of my Formspring questions by accident. My apologies to those questions which were not answered. Sorry!!!

you're the sweetest

2011-11-15T02:02:00.000+08:00

I hadn't been taking pictures recently which explains the lack of updates.So.. These are my buys for today. Of course, the coat is way too hot for our weather. Well, I'd be going somewhere cold next month hehe so now does it makes sense to you? :)
Lastly, Happy 18 Monthsary baby! After so much we'd been through, we finally made it this far and definitely a long way more to go for us. Thank you for always being there for me and putting up my nonsense. You are my best friend and my greatest lover. I love you, forever and always. Muacks!

Food made w love.

Can never be sick of this. I've been craving this for quite awhile and so baby got his maid to prepare this for lunch. I really want this recipe badly but I can never get hold of it. My boyfriend is too selfish to share, he said that if I want to eat it, I'll have to go over to his place. Big fat bully. :( It's really high in calories though! Haha but its totally worth it. I don't mind running for 3 days just to burn these away.

the carnival act

2011-11-07T21:47:00.000+08:00

Last Friday, Baby and I went down to NUS to support ZS for her dance and it was really spectacular! The theme of the performance was The Carnival and there were clowns and creepy dolls dancing. Well, I never expected it to be so good. So proud of my friend ^^ and the best part is, the money goes to the charity! :)

Happy Halloween everyone! And nope, Charis and I didn't hit to the club like what most people do. We dressed up to have dinner and caught Paranormal 3 as a celebration together. As you can see, she is dressed up as the Greek Princess and I'm Super Mario. Happy holiday! ♥

I remember how you held my hands while driving when the radio was playing our song yesterday. That was sweet. I love how I brought up about what happened a year ago where we had a cold war in the restaurant and then the radio played our song, we looked at each other, sat quietly and waited for the song to end and left the place. And the best part is you actually remembered. We are so cute. Ah, I love you.

With you,

One of my philosophy professors lectured wildly about love once, yelling: “When you’re in love with someone, that person is the lighthouse of your universe.” (I scrawled it inside Science and Poetry in pencil—lighthouse of your universe—as if I would ever forget that phrase.) He was a delightful caricature of his position. I could swear he literally tore his hair out while howling at us. He went on, “Nothing means as much without that person.” One of the men in the class repeated, incredulous, half-laughing, “So you’re saying you can’t enjoy, like, a vacation, without someone if you’re really in love with them?” “Of course not.” the professor replied. “Not completely. You recognize beauty, but beauty means less if they don’t witness it with you. Beauty is less. You see something sublime and your first thought is that they should be there with you. It’s not as good without them. They illuminate. They make everything more.”

Life, simple song with pretty words

Friendship

2011-10-11T15:29:00.000+08:00

Five years of frienship and still counting..

She's a friend that will be a call away when you need company, a friend that gives you honest answers and is always supportive w your decisions. True friends are hard to find, in my case. I have met too many friends that come and go, but she's one of those who sticks around. And how do you tell if a friend is real? You feel it with your heart :)

I love spending my Sundays with hon. Those torturing tickles, playing wrestling, eating and sleeping on bed, drinking cups of milo -bascially means growing FAT together, challenging ipad games which i only won twice out of 10 times -.- and doing WEIRD YOGA POSES together. hahaha omg that's the funniest part of the day which made me laughed like mad because he can't even do a simple bridge pose (body too stiff) and he goes wtf hahaha damn funny. Had dinner with his family and baby drove me home at the end of the day. I enjoy days like these... simple and sweet. :)

Charis, Angeline
Julie and I

Had dinner w the girls at Gusttimo and off to KTV at Party World! And I must say that Julie can sing really really well! I have a video of her singing Barbie but I promised Julie not to upload it. Hahahahaha oh well, its your lost! ^^

Pang has really high metabolism rate. No matter how much she eats, she's still as slim as ever. She actually finished those two cakes by herself. Life's so unfair :(

Then went down to Butter to partyyyyy! :)

Zooologyy

2011-09-26T16:16:00.003+08:00

Cute? :)

B: "omg! im damn sure you used a mould or something to shape it out!"DUH!

haha the duckling actually scared b from the back
The one and only butterfly we saw in the Butterfly park. Naise -.-

hehe it looks fake right!

bunnies are soooo adorable :)

Refused to take a proper picture w me because he thinks the hat is too kiddish for him #$@#%@$^!@$#and i begged him like mad to put on the rest ahahaha

Guess what! B and I visited the zoo yesterday! heehee. Our initial plan was to go in the morning but this sleepyhead overslept (im not surprised). prepared sandwiches and went over to b's place and ended up forced to lay in bed w him and i fell asleep -.- and so we only left at 3ish? The animals were really adorable but I couldn't agree more that Singapore's zoo is really...cmi haha. hon just couldn't stop complaining about the stench but was also amazed by the animals. he makes weird noises every time he sees an animal. eg. Lion = roar hahaha and the funniest part was when we were about to leave, we saw a woman with this long tube bottle and i was like "omg i want it!" and b started asking around where they got the drink from and we walked so freaking far away to look for it just to find out that the stall was already closed. We even walked to night safari to look for it. But that's really sweet of him because he thought i really wanted it? i really love/treasure moments like this w him. teehee:)

Forever and Always.

You have my heart, and you have my soul he says. Her eyes are filled with bliss and elation, but at the same time, covered with sorrow and pain. She knows he’s trying, but he’s trying for all the wrong reasons. All she wants is for him to love her to the fullest. She wants him to love her, as she loves him. Know that nothing can make you feel more alive than the achievement of finding someone you think is impetuously perfect in every way. You can see their flaws, and take them deep inside your heart and make them into golden perfections. Your heart says their completely perfect for you, while everyone else says they’re not. The way they dress isn’t what you would usually go for, but you love them for that. The things they speak aren’t from a lyrics page, their real and they make you feel alive. That’s what you’ll love, you’ll love everything about that, because they try.

Hello Love, Stay put.

2011-09-16T10:27:00.001+08:00

It's the scariest thing ever to realize how much someone means to you.Someone that was once a stranger now is the only person you know like the back of your hand. Someone you once had no emotions for, now has the power to break your heart. Someone you never used to hang out with, now owns most of your time. Someone you never thought you'd love, now owns your entire heart. Someone you once lived without, you now wish to hold onto forever.

By the way, I had a blood test few days back and my blood level dropped drastically. It was 10 and now it's 7. It got my mom really worried and she has been texting me to make sure I take my iron pills (I'd stopped taking for quite sometime). Well, hope it gets better when I go for my next check up and hopefully I can stop relying on medication.

P.S. I'm blogging from my workplace kekeke

People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal histories. Diagrams of their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers. You changed me. I have changed because I have realized that I'm the only person I can depend on.

Had no idea how tarot works so what I did was I kept a question in my head with the book closed, and pretended that the first card I saw was mine! And this was my card. It doesn't look like a bad to card to me? hopefully.

The smart me brought my camera out with a battery life of 3%. So these are the pictures uploaded by Angeline on Facebook! Zouk was a really impromptu decision that night haha and it ended... really crazy indeed.A short update of my day today: Work was as usual, boring. Had a great time at the gym and my first time attending aerobics class (It. Was. Awesomee. I'm gna try yoga in my weekends.) Worked on my abdominal, butt and thighs. Heehee, I hope I can be consistent throughout and see the results. Have a great weekend ahead everyone :)

Positivity Packs a Mean Punch

2011-08-18T11:28:00.000+08:00

Sometimes we forget how easily we are lead astray, how simple it is to be lead down the path of negativity… but is it our fault? Surely not. It’s human nature to find ourselves surrounded by negativity, wrong doing, and other unfortunate situations. Amidst all of the clouds, there is always a sun shining, you just have to have the correct mentality to be able to spot it sometimes.

If you’re a firm believer in mentality affecting outcome, you can attest to this theory, always have and always maintain a positive mindset. Optimism goes a long way in almost every day to day situation, you can’t go in and succeed at something if you are already looking at your glass as half (or completely) empty.

Things won’t always go our way, but the first step in giving them the optimal chance to is by being POSITIVE.
