Me

I tend to judge myself and I'm very self conscious. At times, i want people around to like me, to see me as a certain individual. at times i just don't care. I get a lot of compliments, (or not) of my actions, my talent, my style, my personality etc. and i reflect on the things i should change about myself as a person. I have had people trust me with incredible tasks and opportunities for escalating my career, i get so excited and sometimes wonder if i am talented or good enough. I am grateful for the people i have around me that believe in me, for seeing things in me that i can't, and helping me acknowledge of what im capable of. But when it all comes down to it, what counts is that at the end of all the criticism and struggles one goes through to improve oneself to become a notable individual, it is most important that you are the one that loves, accepts and appreciates you for you, above everything and anyone; quirks and all.

I love this pink lipstick! Its called Impassioned by MAC and I'm wearing my favorite mascara, Diorshow in Azure blue. :D

Goodbye... Self-developing film

Unfortunately for me, i never got to buy a Polaroid, and as of 2008, it is being discontinued. Ugh! Sucks big time. The company filed for bankruptcy, but will relaunch they're iconic Polaroid camera for the new year. Its called POGO and just like the Polaroid prints your pictures automatically. Well, this means goodbye to Polaroid, You will be missed... Hello POGO!
