The Curly Chinadoll

When I was in grade school my mom would always have my hair permed she said it would make my hair look thick since I have thin hair  and I hated it! And when I say "Hate" I say it conviction, I look hideous and don't ask me for pictures because I will never post any...not in a million years well maybe except for Halloween.

Before I graduated from elementary, finally I had my hair cut and  bid goodbye to curly hair, I even promised my self to never have my hair permed ever again. And boy I was wrong, I started curling my hair again when I started to work but this time not with the old fashioned way of hair perm but with the use of my secret weapon - curling iron. I owned 3 curling irons, two already retired (due to over usage..i guess? lol) and the last one is still with me...still good as new but I have to admit, using curling iron takes a lot of time and it can really damage your hair that is why I also stopped using it.My hair strands are very thin and colored so my hair is really prone to breakage.  I have considered having my hair permed again but I know I will not get that soft bouncy curls via cold wave, the only way to achieve that "to die for curls" is through Digital Perm.

My sister had her Digiperm experience a few months and  I envy her soft bouncy curls. However, it is really expensive it costs her 5000PHP ( approximately $110 - $112). I have been seriously thinking about this for months already and I think my wish was granted. I received a text message from Tony and Jackey stating that they are having a promo for Loreal Digital Perm for 2000PHP (approximately $45) good for 15 days only. Good news right?

 I guess it is time to say....


Did you like it? How about you, do you love curling your hair? Would you consider having a Digital Perm too? Let me know Sweet Loves!

Stay tuned dearies, I might just blog about my digiperm experience in the coming days....

Blue Wedding Cake

This is my first ever wedding cake design when I attended Wilton's Master Cake Decorating Class last month. Unfortunately we used Styrofoam instead of real cake but hopefully soon, I'll try to bake and design a cute 3 tiered cake. What do you think? Be gentle with the comments since this was my first time hihihi :) Hope you like it :)


I already made a reservation for Fondant and Gum paste class which will start on July 27. Wish me luck and stay tuned for more cake adventure!

How bout you guys, what's keeping you busy these past few days? Let me know :)

♥hugs and be safe♥

Shorter and fuller bangs: Yay or Nay?

I have always had my bangs but  I always use a little clip to keep the hair off my face. But right now, I want something different so I cut my side swept bangs shorter - just the right level with my brows and it was thicker than before.
Love it or hate it?

What kept me busy?

I am really sorry for lack of updates for the past months…I know I've been missing and was not able to give you any heads up. But I am really trying to squeeze in a little time to update this blog. You might be wondering what kept me busy.

Most of you know that I really love and enjoy baking. I do bake and accept orders but I have to admit that there’s still so much for me to learn. And one of the major things that I really need to improve on is decorating cakes. Last November 2010 I have decided to take my baking skills to the next level I’ve enrolled in a Master Cake Decorating (Wilton Method) Class. Unfortunately, at that time there was no available class and I still have to wait for months before they re-open the class again. At that time there was an on going Fondant class and they have to finish the course before the Master class re-opens.

To cut the long story short, I started the class last March 16; it was a 10 half day session and classes are held once a week. And because of this I have to move my days off from Saturday-Sunday to Wednesday – Sunday, since my class is every Wednesday. I was a little hard for me to keep up with this schedule because every Wednesday we have a call meeting at work, so even though it is my day off, I still have to report to work just to attend the meeting with the client then go home after. If you’re working for a BPO company, you really have to be very flexible with time. I guess we really need to do little sacrifices…It is very tiring but I assure you it’s all worth it!

Here are some of the pictures during the class. (Photos courtesy of  Mrs. Galang’s Kitchen) 


I was able to finish the course last week and on our graduation day we have to make a 3 tier wedding cake and we should come up with our own design. This is it guys...I'm really happy and I guess I can say that I am on the right track...this is what I really want and I am truly happy that I am starting to make things happen. 


How bout you guys? Did you do something recently that might just help you reach your goals or dreams little by little? Remember dearies...one step at a time! :)  Here I come, Advance Cake Decorating Class!
