Life Update

Hello everybody!

So it is finally August, time moves so fast. It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating new year's with my brother and a party with my neighbors. Now it's suddenly my birth month! I will be turning 21 this Wednesday, August 5th. I'm not really planning anything spectacular for that day, I'll just probably head out with my brother to eat and go to church, maybe watch a movie too.

I have also been not posting for awhile and now I would change that because I have a list on what I expect my blog to be and also new content for me to try and do. I really love blogging and eventhough I don't post as much, I still find myself reading other people's blogs which still keeps me on track.

I am also currently still working on a book that I'm writing and hopefully (not that sure yet), I'll be able to put it out for everybody to read. I have also gained a lot of weight from being as lazy as I am and now, I wanna start getting back on track and continue my dream of becoming fit. I'm currently looking at exercise bikes too and would most likely get one within this week or next week since I already have my options and just deciding which one I would get and I will be posting all about it once I have it delivered and tested out.

As for online games, I just recently announced to my guild mates and friends that I have finally quit playing Dragon Nest Sea and would move on to another game. The reason being is not because that I'm really busy but because I've been playing that game for quite a long time, like I was 17 when I started then I'm now turning 21. I practically grew up in that game with all my other guild members that was a lot like my virtual family. I think that I finally got tired of its repetitive-ness every cap having to start with absolutely 0 but nonetheless, it still has one of the most amazing gameplays especially on PVP which makes you have a hard time picking out another game that would compare to the experience this game has given you. My guildies and me do stay in contact and we are discussing what games we should play all together again which is kind of hard since everybody pretty much has different opinions on games that they wanna try out so I doubt that we would all end up on a single game. But some people are willing to try out another game with me which we are currently waiting for the open beta and that is Tree Of Savior. It's an MMO on steam and many people describes it as something quite similar to the 1st Ragnarok game. I however have not ever played ragnarok (Except for the mobile game) and have high expectations towards this game because of all the hype that's circling around it. As for mobile games, I'm on and off playing Toram Online, another MMO Rpg game which actually surprised me that it is so different. It's 3d and open world, the graphics are good too and it's easy to play. Although, it does have issues with other mobile users because it keeps on crashing after you create a character. Another mobile game is Heroes Of Order And Chaos. I have been playing this game for years, it is a tower-defense sort of game and it reminds me a lot of League Of Legends. It does help entertain me when I have nothing else to do and I don't know, it's just a chill game that I like.

For T.V. shows or series, nothing new, I'm still watching Pretty Little Liars (No spoilers! I Promise!) and yes I am very much updated and have also been guilty of rewatching it all over again right from season 1. Can't believe it will only be 2 episodes until the summer finale. I'll be able to watch the next episode on my birthday which I am so excited about  and yes in case any of you are wondering, PLL premiers every Wednesday here in the Philippines just a few minutes after most of you have watched in on a Tuesday ( Took me awhile to figure out all the time difference). I am also currently watching out for some new shows that I would like so if there are any suggestions, do tell me.

I'm also really thinking about putting some blonde highlights on my hair, kind of like a balayage style. Last month was the 1st time that I ever colored my own hair and now I am feeling so confident to play with it. So we will see if I do go through with it.

And yea, I guess that is it and I'm really thinking about what post I should make on my birthday. I have some options already so it may not be just a single post. I'll see what I can do and I will be heading out soon and getting some new beauty products to try out and some new clothes because I have literally been wearing the same comfy stuff all the time and I should probably get new ones that actually flatter my new body shape and still feel comfortable in. I don't know why but my body constantly keeps changing sizes like last year I was super thin and now I got curves, I like either way although sometimes its getting hard to pick out some clothes. Well, whatever I'll enjoy and flaunt the curves I have now before it disappears again (if it will, I don't know).

 Hope that everybody would have an amazing August!

Thanks for reading and until the next blog,

The Liebster Award

Hello ladies and gents! Welcome back to my blog and if you're new here, hello I'm Joyce and today I will be talking to you guys about a certain award that I was tagged / nominated to. I very much agreed to the person who included me on her nominees that this is a good way of getting to know more about bloggers who share the same passion as you. Whether we share the same niche or not, it is our job to be part of the ongoing blogging community.

Alright, So I'm assuming that most of you have heard of the "Liebster Award". I wasn't quite familiar with this until I was tagged so I will brief what it's about. So this is from Wording Well, (I took a screenshot of it)

So that's what this award is all about and I will be nominating bloggers who have caught my attention with their passion or just their lovely personalities that I would really love to get to know more of. (Hi there! I'm a fan of yours!) And without further ado, let's get started.

11 Random Facts About Myself:

1. I secretly love being part of a competition. I always feel that if I am good enough to be part of it, then I have a chance of winning. 

2. I am a chatterbox. I would talk to you about almost anything once you start talking to me. I never had this trait or personality before. As I grew up, I just started developing it maybe because I got tired of being referred to as the "quiet one".

3. I remember modeling for a clothing brand when I was really young, although I can't remember what it was.Would have to ask my mom about that.

4. I will probably be one of the most stubborn person that you will ever meet. If you say I can't do it or I must not do it, as long as I know that I won't harm or hurt anyone then I would most likely do it just to prove you otherwise. A thing that saved and got me to trouble most of the time.

5. I always go over the top when someone expects or ask me to do something for them. I don't know why I do it, but when you trust me with something, I do my best to not disappoint. 

6. I have a secret talent with remembering phone numbers. Once someone tells me their number vocally, even just once. I'd remember it for quite a long time. I don't even try and remember it, It just happens. Something that came handy in sticky situations and saved my butt for countless of times. 

7. I am one of those people who are very sentimental of their belongings. Most of the things I own are either gifted by special people in my life or have a great meaning to me.

8. I am a firm believer that if someone really wants you, they will come back on their own. Its like trying out a new restaurant, whether you like their food or not, you will keep coming back because of the fact that you know that they have so much more to offer rather than what you'll usually prefer. It intrigues you and actually compels you to try again.

9. I will take about 29 selfies and deletes 30 of them, if that makes sense. Although I'm sure it does for those who love taking selfies like me.

10. I've learned this the hard way a few years ago and I swear by it, in order for an ideal relationship to happen between 2 people, learn to feel for two people rather than just one. Whenever someone asks me for love advice, this is all what I say to them all the time.

11. Today was actually the very first time I dyed my own hair and also the first time I colored my hair when it is long. I usually have short colored hair and if my hair's long, I don't bother coloring it anymore, a habit that I would wanna change starting today all because I love coloring my hair, it expresses myself more.

Phew! 11 facts about me done and probably one of the hardest things for me to do is describing myself (should have included that in the list). So before I list down the nominees, here are the rules and also would guide you if you are new to this tag / award:

11 Questions from Andrea Santos

Thank you for nominating me | Do check out her blog, she is fabulous! 

1. Favorite Past Time?

♥ My favorite past time would have to be gaming or reading. Any of those two will entertain me for the whole day no matter the weather or if I'm sick or not (lol).

2.Who is your celebrity crush?

♥ My celebrity crush would have to be Ryan Gosling. He just has this appeal that would make you feel that you are the prettiest girl if he ever lays eyes on you. Well, he doesn't know I exist but I could only assume that its a possibility for that to happen. He is just gorgeous!

3. If you had to pick one fruit to eat for your whole life, what would it be?

♥ Bananas hands down. It is soft and it worked well for me having my braces and I never get tired of it's taste. 

4. Would you rather sky-dive or go bungee-jumping on a towering cliff? 

♥ My goodness that's hard. I'd wanna do both honestly. But if I had to choose just one then I'd go sky-dive. I'm always fascinated by the idea and my friend's posting their pictures doing it and it just encourages me to really go and try it.

5. What is your favorite feature on yourself?

♥ My favorite feature would have to be my mole on my left cheek (my left xD). I honestly used to really hate it because of how often I get teased for having one. As I grew up I just felt like it became an asset and a way to easily distinguish me from other girls. In other words, helps me to feel unique.

6. If you were given an opportunity to go to the moon, would you?

♥ Well first I'd make sure that I would be able to go back,  then I definitely would.

7. If you were offered P1,000 / $1,000, which clothing / beauty brand will you go to shop first?

♥ Oh my god, if it's $1,000 then I'd definitely go crazy at the Lush store. Well in all honesty just going inside their store is satisfying! I do wish I could make my house smell like a Lush store.

8. Would you rather eat a lizard or a cockroach (this is appalling I know! hahahaha)

♥ I'd go for lizard. I don't know why I chose that I just feel like I would if it comes down to it. xD

9. What was your most embarrassing moment? 

♥ My most embarrassing moment, I have quite a ton of these that It'll take me a moment to respond. (After 10 minutes and reading an old journal) I think that it is when I was a freshmen in high school, I was walking out of the school and I saw this senior guy that I had a crush on. We've been talking for awhile and became close friends, I saw him wave and I wave back while still walking. Not noticing that there's a 2-step stairs infront of me, I missed it and tripped while having my crush have a full view of what happened. I got up and saw him laughing. Although it is quite funny to me now, but I would really not want to experience it ever again.

10. If you could eat at any restaurant for one whole year, what would it be?

♥ Shakeys o.o! I am so comfortable in this restaurant that when I go out, I always find myself eating at this place. Probably one of my guilty pleasures. 

11. The last movie you've watched is now your life story. What was that movie?

♥ I was re-watching the hunger games series just before I made this... crap.

That's about it and I hope that we do end up getting to know more of each other, work together and build a friendly relationship around us. Continue to share the love and take your time in answering the questions that I've provided for you guys to answer and add in 11 random facts about you. In other words, have fun and let loose on your post! I would love to see it.

Enjoy and take care. Continue to be an inspiration to everyone.

My Guilty Pleasures.

I've been thinking what should I blog about today and this thought suddenly came into my mind, I wonder if I should post about __? Knowing that it may be TMI and may come out of the blue, so what I thought about doing is I'm gonna share my top 10 guilty pleasures! Ranging from the simplest to probably disturbing habits I have. I know I'm not the only one...

1. I am guilty of yelling out "Wobbuffet!" when I'm home alone and then carry on whatever I'm doing.
2. I am addicted to watching reality shows, probably abit too much. (And yea, Keeping up with the Kardashians is on the top of my list).
3. I sometimes like to eat chips for breakfast and have breakfast meals for dinner. Imagine pancakes and hot choco.
4. I read or watch a lot of gossip shows or articles about celebrities. Whether it'll be a scandalous one or just their relationships.
5. I stalk some of my "ex-friends" and I don't know why I do it, I don't miss them but heeeey, I guess I wanted to know how they were doing xD.
6. Randomly dancing to spice girls in front of the mirror with a microphone (hairbrush) on my hand. But hey, I think that I upgraded! I used to do that with Hannah Montana songs when I was younger xD.
7. When I'm reading a book and imagine that I'm the heroin in the story, I tend to read some of the heroin's lines and pretend I'm doing the scene. What? I always dreamt of becoming an actress xD
8. I set my alarm a little early than what time actually I should be getting up, like if I wanted to wake up at 7 am, I set my clock to 6 am and I keep telling myself that I need 5 minutes more again and again until its really 7 am. I actually feel accomplished when I do that HAHA!
9. When I only have a few things to write about on my personal journal, I sometimes keep repeating stuff but emphasizing them a little bit differently than before, just so I could be able to fill up the page. In my defense, I would probably wanna know in detail why I was feeling like that in the future....well, nevermind.
10. I window shop online on different websites, but I still press the buy now button just to see what happens.. even though I'm not really buying it xD.

Okay, so I honestly expected myself to feel more embarrassed than excited. This was super fun and made me a little giggly as I was typing them all out. Now tell me, do any of you guys do these too? Or do you wanna share some of your own guilty pleasures? Comment down below to make me feel that I'm not alone with this ha!

Thanks for reading, Until the next blog!

♥Joyce
