Yes, I'm doing the "what's inside your bag" challenge.

You've probably seen this everywhere--in magazines, in fashion blogs blah blah blah--a gazillion times already, (haha OA) but something tells me I should give it a try myself...or at least now that my things are still in tip top shape. :)

so now I present to you....

"What's Inside My Bag: The Giell Herrera Edition"

ajejejeje.

1. A normal college-girl-necessity: The ever glorious, Umbrelly!

2. My DIY pouch.

3. Snoopy Wallet

4. My School Bus Post-it Pad.

5. Mah Noteboooooook.

6. A Smaller Notebook--handy in times when I get too lazy to dig out the larger one from my bag!

7. Of course there's my phone

8. Something to eat, cos I easily get hungry.

9. Gingy, the wire organizer.

10. My Giraffe-printed pencil case.

11. My favorite wooden pens!

12. A mini-tear gas spray--You'll never know...

EP EP EP. It doesn't end there yet!

Next up is.....

"What's Inside the Bag in my Bag?"

-It's the pouch's turn!

1. Medicines! A definite must.

2. Brush (lol but I really dont like brushing my hair. It just breaks it up, and makes the right side sorta fly-away[?])

3. Oil-control films...though I have really dry skin. I still stock up with these cos it helps clear up my face when I look dugyot by the end of the day.

4. Tissues. need i say more?

5. Band-aids

6. A sweet-smelling hand sanitizer. I only buy this one (Eskulin), or the Wild Berry scented ones from Watson's that come with a silicone keychain.

7. Mosquito-repelling patches. hmmmmmm i love love love them!

8. Rio Mints in Grape flavor

9. Baby Powder

10~11. Face Powder and Lip and Cheek Tint= These two help me rid of my Zombie-look.

12. A mild face soap.

13. hehehee Sanitary Napkins cos I'm a girl :|

14. Froggy nail clipper.

AYAN. You may rest your eyes now. I guess I won't be blogging anytime soon cause school's starting in a few days...HOW SAD!!!! I'm not ready for stress yet. And I really hate sleeping late while having to wake up early for classes. huhuhuhuhuhuhu pleaseeeee I hope they extend the break!

 BYE. :|

Eetsy-Bitsy Stuff-os

Hehe. The title pretty much describes what this post is about. The End. Jk.

First time to try out an Allue nail polish. This turned out to be a great discovery too! The blue one smells like watermelon, I almost gulped it up. Kiddin! Plus I like how the color ended up on my nails.

I also got a hold of some printed binder clips! Anything floral, I always find so cute, :)

Thinking of doing a "what's inside my bag" blog post next. Okay okay, challenge accepted!

Mark This Day: May 28, 2011

I got my 2nd pair of piercings today! (of course I'm speaking on behalf of 5-28-11, silly)

I've wanted this for so long, but been having doubts because of the "ear horror stories" that my mom told me prior having this. hehe, and just in case it isn't obvious enough, I am a proud scaredy cat--and things that concern having metal stuff pass through my skin, uh-huuuuh, they get me really paranoid.

Well, I was at the mall that day, when I passed by "the Bead Shop". They offer this painless piercing service, according to the poster that I read, that is. (insert creepy-slash-annoying TV Home Shopping voice here) For only 150 pesos, you'll get free studs with your piercings! Seemed pretty trusty to me. And so I went for it. :)

WARNING! I have weird-looking earlobes.

Uhm I kinda need your opinion on this, guys. Would it look stupid if I get another one exactly where I placed the red spot on the picture above?--on my ear. HAHA. Sa tingin ko kasi medyo sayang yung space, seryoso.  Kasya pa yung isa, sooooooo help. hehe :)

P.S.

My dad doesn't know about this, though. Im waiting for him to find out himself....and then il tell him the looong story of why I got this. heh

FREAKY EYE

I was fixing my blanky one night when I saw this "thing". It's a puzzle how it got there. In my room. On my blanket.

 I don't even know where it's from, to start with.

Not in my intention to scare you, but isn't it freaky that "the sticker eye" opens and closes up--just like AN ACTUAL ONE? hehe joke lang. It's one of those 3d-ish stickers that make an illusion of movement if you change your angle of looking at it. And because I sleep on the lower bunk of my bed, I stuck it to the ceiling so I get to see it every morning when I wake up.

...but still, the mystery of how it got to me is still left a wonder. Dont you think? dontcha? dontcha?

One Productive Day in Giellyand's Life

This summer, my life has been so owned up by my little 'ol computer, Gieraffe. (I name most of my things, get used to it.) But there was this instance that the internet connection in my room got messed up. It felt like I was left with nothing on a deserted island. DRAMAaahahahaaa.

Buuuutttt earlier that day, my Dad got me a cork board for my room, hence I figured that "dressing it up"  might just be an instant life-saver!

There. This picture was edited with Instagram already...hehe still looking for stuff to post on it,though. Gotta take take take some more pictures lalalala

After finishing my job with that, I realized I still had a looooooot of hours before I even consider my day to be over. (In case you didnt know, I only feel sleepy after 7am--it's summer, so forgive me.) I decided to put my sewing skills to a test! (lol as if I have the skills) I wouldnt call this a project, its just a simple pouch for the toiletries I bring around with me.

Here it is. --I used canvas cloth, a cut-out part of an old Artwork shirt, and some acrylic paint for the animal prints at the back. (This is how the inside looks like. hehe still a bit messy. A BIT. PLEASE AGREE.)

Front:

(Dont mind the "smiles" at the bottom. hehe I was letting it dry when I took the picture)

Back:

Im also getting the fond of these Mosquito patches from National Bookstore. They smell too nice, it makes me dizzy at times, but it also keeps the evil mosquitoes away so...okay! and the stickers are the cutest! I always stick them on my bed bunk after having them used up:)

I must have lost track of time cos it was already 7:30 am when I cleaned up my mess.

P.S. My "cousin" Cha-Cha insisted that she sleeps in my room for the whole summer, (and being the evil person that I am), I agreed to her request on one condition: She has to bring her own bed and all the other stuff that comes with it. *irrelevant* But, can you guess where she is in this picture?

Is it just me, or is the sunlight effect just "heavenly"?

Gave Some of my School Shoes a Bath

Woke up one afternoon and spontaneously decided to GIVE SOME OF MY SCHOOL SHOES A BATH, as the title suggests. It's funny how I kinda developed a  "connection" with my worn-out shoesies...and so the idea of naming each was born! Left some of them at my mom's house though, but I cant wait to wash (and name) those too!

Make a picture collage

(from L-R)

I felt the need to name the first one, Leoj. (And no, I'm not mocking my "handsome" friend Leoj Leonor. I just gave in to my silly hunch. mehehe). Next up is Tanya, I dont know why I named her such...I just think it's a feminine, but striking name for a shoe. On her right is Mime, the Sanuk Tube flops that I got from my mom. The stripes just reminded me of mimes. First on the second row is Squeaky. I could never stand walking on a smooth floor while wearing that. It makes a really intolerable squeaky sound with each step. But I love her nonetheless! The watermelon bedroom slippers was supposed to be my pasalubong to Patricia Sarte after I came back from Korea, but I always miss out on handing it to her...sayang naman, so I used it for myself instead :) Sorry Pea! Next is Nana, cos of her papansin Banana color :) Then Poxy, the one with Chicken Pox-y spots and Leopard print straps. Then Mumbo,--Ive always wanted to name something "mumbo". And last but DEFINITELY-NOT-THE-LEAST-COS-THIS-ONES-MY-FAVORITE...meet Chuck Bass, my 4-year-old converse! Talk about loyalty, huh?:)

Done with my first (not-so) mini blog post!

I AM SUCH A BAD BLOGGER.

My account has been stagnant for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of blog-worthy things in mind, but I'm just too lazy put it into words...which led me to this "solution"--if you may call it that. Instead of posting uber long ones, pictures nalang this time, with short descriptions that's just enough to explain it. Diba? I'll call it: "The Mini-Blog Project"! hehe. Why do I have to name it anyways? Okay, so I guess I should start soon. GULP. 

Sorry for the word-heavy post! :)
