Are you still happy?

In a relationship, it is okay to be sad, it's normal to cry, and it's fine to be hurt...but they should never outnumber the joyful moments.

Remember the reason why we decided to be with someone - it's not shed to tears, but to fill our hearts with happiness. So, if you feel more sadness than happiness, you have to let it go.

#ThursdayThoughts : What Would Happen?

Most knew me as a happy-go-lucky person and I still am but not as what I used to be. I used to just let things be -- not worrying of anything that might happen and just doing anything that makes me happy. Some call it selfish, I call it self-love because I strongly believe that "No One Is Going To Love You If You Don't Love Yourself".

But that recently changed with this question that crossed my mind: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO ME?

Most (if not all) of us have loved ones who depend on us. I love myself but I also love my family and I know they love me as much. And as much as I hate to think about it, I know it will happen, that I would pass and would no longer be around them. So, what's gonna happen then? Am I ready? Are they ready? NOBODY will ever be ready for that, EMOTIONALLY. And there is not any easier way to overcome that.

Losing a breadwinner does not only hurt emotionally but FINANCIALLY too.

Our family does not live a fancy life. Both me and my husband work hard to make ends meet. We try to save money for the future but we know that it won't be enough to make a bright one. We have too many bills to pay -- Home Mortgage, Car Loans, Home/Car/Health Insurance, Utilities, etc. As breadwinners for our family, our responsibilities are endless! And they would fall into whoever would be left behind.

Imagine the situation when that happens? PAINFUL, I know. It's too painful that I imagine myself getting out of the grave just so I could continue working after I die.

Luckily, I found a way to ease the financial pain when the time comes and I won't have to join the "Living Dead".

How about you, HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF THAT QUESTION? If yes, I would love to help! Comment here or leave me a personal message.

Is It Too Late?

Growing up, I've always wanted to play a musical instrument. At least one. I played ukelele (spelling?) and was wanting to step it up by playing banjo but I never really got too far with it. I asked my brother to teach me with their guitar, but that didn't happen.

So now that I am older, I still have that hope, especially when I found out that my husband played before. So I will try learning the piano keyboard. Hopefully he can teach me at least the basics. It shouldn't be too hard, I think. Hope it isn't too late for me yet, is it?

I need falsies

Unfortunately, I am not one of those lucky girls gifted with long lashes. But thanks to Karl Nessler (yes, I googled it) who thought about inventing false lashes. It's just a matter of learning how to put them on. 

So, I decided to try the free Bobbi Brown Long Wear Shadow stick in color 'shadow' that I got from Sephora (i love being a Beauty Insider!). I thought this would be good time for me to practice putting false lashes to complete the smokey eye effect that I was 'trying' to achieve.

Practice means perfect, right?! Hopefully, I'd be able to perfect this soon.
