Hot Car

I appreciate hot cars a lot, even more than Rolly does. If I were a boy and was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I would probably be sporting a flashy black car, or a handsome red Ferrari!  But I'm a girl, with average purchasing power.  Hehe. Thus, I drive a little Suzuki Alto which I sometimes imagine to be a chic Mini Cooper. =P  

Having said that, it's not surprising that the moment I saw this gorgeous car, my jaw dropped in awe.


Guess whose car is this?  I bet you, the owner is as equally jaw-dropping. =D

Clue:
YASMAR KERED
;)

Huuuuush!

My Favorite Makeup Pieces

The Balm Down Boy Blush
I've tried various types, textures, and brands of blushes, and so far, no one has knocked my socks off until I tried Down Boy.  It adds just the right amount of pink to the cheeks, making 'em look naturally glowing.  And the pack's kinda cute. :) I got it for 850 bucks.

This blush doesn't come with a brush, so you gotta get a separate one.  And this one's the perfect match:
It's a mini kabuki brush also from The Balm.  Though I already have a complete set of brushes each with a different function, I still like this brush because it's small and can fit anywhere (unlike the long ones I have).  Plus, it has a canister that keeps it clean and dirt-free when not in use.  I forget how much I got this for though.  Around 400 if I'm not mistaken.

These cute ones and the rest of The Balm makeup line are available at Beauty Bar. :)

Cheers,

Our Love Language

 "Love language" is how one expresses his love to his partner, a term coined by Dr. Gary Chapman. According to him, there are 5 love languages (http://www.5lovelanguages.com/resources/books/) and these are:

  1. Words of affirmation
  2. Quality time
  3. Gifts
  4. Acts of service
  5. Physical touch
For Rolly and me, all these five should definitely be present in our relationship.  However, there's one which proves to be the most salient, and that is - WORDS. :)

There is not a day in our lives when we don't exchange sweet nothings.  Mushy alert (!!!), I know, but words of affirmation about each other and our love are a key ingredient in our relationship. The words are translated into actions, of course.  For Rolly, me telling him that I love him and expounding on it mean a lot.  Me affirming how good he is for me and how I love to be spending the rest of my life with such a guy boosts his morale and makes him want to be even better for me.

I am posting one BBM exchange as an example. Some words are rephrased to hide the baby/alien talk. =D


Joyce: ... I am inspired. 
Rolly: Could you describe the person who inspires you? :)
Joyce: Mapogi, mamacho, machingkit, at ma-english! =))
Rolly: =)) Sakin naman, ma-sexy and ma-cute, maputi, madanda, 
mabait, at matalino. Sometimes I feel that she's too good for me 
for all she's worth. She is quite extraordinary.

See?  We're two sweet talkers, but being so makes us happy. :)
