Prize From Earthlingorgeous' Midyear Giveaway!

I'm one of the silent readers of Ms. Earth's blog and she's one of those I unread after reading in my inbox aside from these blogs I regularly read - Hi Ms. Tara of The Chronicles of Vanity!. #youknowwhatthatmeans I always join her giveaways and fortunately won her latest as seen on the blog title of this post. What we did was just put our name, age and location and she randomly chose a winner. <3 I won everything on the photo below

So excited about the Flyshade's wayfarer and this nude lipstick from Maybelline!

This is colorsensational 275 in crazy coffee and yes I blog mobile (here I use My/Phone A818 duo) which brings me to buying this blog-friendly but cheap phone! So can't wait to use it! :P

Another thing I got was this Maybelline MasterLiner in BR-1 It's a reddish-brown eyeliner that could build up and intensify perfect for soft everyday neutral eyes, smoked or not. :) Has a creamy texture that wouldn't drag the skin because it glides well. It's not that long and is kind of hard to remove using wetwipes alone because its smudge proof and resistant to water but a regular makeup remover will do. No need to sharpen because you just twist the handle to protrude product but has a tendency to break if it's too long or if the pressure is too high.

Win a prize for yourself join our Trip to 100,000 here :)

Thank you so much Ms. Earth! xx

Short Time: Food Porn

If you are following me on instagram (@gerilen and if you haven't please do) Then you know how much foodie I am, how I love to take photos of our food,

(Ceasar Tuna Salad from Shakeys)

(Mannhann Dishes)

(Chicago White - Sbarr0)

how I long to eat out and try different restaurants ... only then I realize that what I shoot makes me extra fat! :( Oh yes, little did I know that a (food) picture is worth a thousand calories! D: Photos revealing seductive meals in delicious details - can obviously make one overeat! Like I said, I tend to long for another dine in restau, to order the other dishes I didn't get the chance to taste, no scratch that, to eat! And since one of the best thing to experience is to taste everything, the only remedy we could do is to share! :) or at least buy the smallest portion, and take it out just so you could still follow the "stop eating while you are hungry" rule. :)

ELIZABETH: Hi

Finally, I decided to come out of my shell and join the wagon! You guys and gals will hear more about me!

So watch out for my fashion hits and misses, collection of shoes, girly dresses and accessories, nail arts, food trips and more! I love being a girly girl just like my big sister! *wink wink nudge nudge

I might as well share my ideas from "how to decor" to "how to when it comes to "L. O. V. E."". Yup, its as random as a girly girl could be! And ooh, we will be sharing how we are preparing our upcoming wedding! :D

watch out and stay tuned!

live, love, laugh,

Beth :)

We weren’t officially moved, yet. There are a couple of unopened boxes we have to open and shovel back to their designated cabinets… our house renovation had been paused for a couple of weeks because we need to prepare and attend our annual three day convention at novaliches, plus the shortage of budget .. we have to prioritize our booming electric bill to compensate the heat! I mean the a/c we cant live without! :3

Back to blogging, I have a lot of pending posts I need to publish but hubby is currently using “harry” I cant put photos in it! Yes im too stubborn to get copies of photos I needed but what the heck… I feel tired as always 

All I wanna do is snuggle up and read wattpad!  I’m quite of the reader and not the blogger these days, and I have a lot to post!!! *palmface

Liebster Blog Award

A Fairy Flying High awarded Gerilen Elinessete the Liebster Blog Award November last year.

I learned that this special award is given to those deserving bloggers with less than 200 followers. It's a German word Liebster that means 'dearest' and 'beloved'. 

This award encourage me to blog more. I learned that as long as my blog is 'loved' and appreciated it doesn't matter whether I have one or a million readers. :) Personally I decided not to host a giveaway yet just to hoard followers, (but I would host a giveaway soon, as a token of appreciation for reaching a milestone or an anniversary.) As of now, I enjoy writing and expressing myself by blogging while making friends with other bloggers here online.

I'll take this opportunity to thank Ms. Kirsclair of A Fairy Flying High for this recognition. :)

P.S. Check her blog and see a fairy flying high! Woohoo! ;)

Here are the rules:

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks for the award and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogsphere – other bloggers.
5.  And, best of all – have fun and spread the good karma!

I know it's been a long time since this award was bestowed upon me, but heck, I need to look for my five top awardees too! :) After searching the blogsphere, here are the blogs I deemed worth reading and is deserving for this precious award:

***drum roll***

• In Love With Sunflower

• Swirls And Scribbles

• Brenda Bear 123

• Delachic

• Lil Fashionista

Congratulations bloggers for this award! :D Hope you could spread the love too! :)

Photo Blog #2 Newborn

I post a photo blog before because its one of our bc blogger meme for the month of July. Since then I decided to start a post that features my photo/s of the week... And now that I started using Instagram, :))I would probably post more instagrammed photos! Kewl!

So, here are my first instagrammed photos of the week! It's random, it's personal and it's vintage-y! <3

blog lovin'

that is what I do in the wee hours of the night, because every two hours or so I need to

feed the baby

good thing I have my super mom to help me out

mom and I

I love how I see and feel that my babe is satisfied, he looked

milk-drunk

and half asleep almost all the time during feeding.

Is breastfeeding hypnotic?

I just noticed that even how fuzzy he gets, when he started feeding, he calms immediately and fall asleep. :)

He's so cute!

So, what's your week in 
instagrammed
 photos? Share them!

P.S. follow me on instagram! :D that's http://instagram.com/gerilen ;)
