Poetic Isolation

Let's all admit it, each one of us has an aching wanderlust inside. The idea of home is truly amazing but to see and discover the wonders on the other side of our usual world is something beyond living.

I was quite hesitant at first to share to you my travel wish list. You know what they say when you share something you dream of, it won't come true? oh boy, that gets me! I always keep it with my bullet journal as I believe a travel list will help me prioritize my dreams. From time to time I check it, dreaming the thousand things I'd love to do as I step on the places I always dream of.

While others might wish to travel with someone, I prefer to travel alone. Not because I'm lonely, I simply believe that solitude is the salt to personhood. That somehow, travelling alone will give me time to think and reflect. While the idea of travelling thrills me, I am bound by certain circumstances ( money,time) but, no need for me to fret because Airbnb helps me complete my #MyAirbnbBucketList. A list I surely love to accomplish before I die!

If it is possible for me to travel the world, then why not, right? Believe me, this list would be endless if I'll write all my dream destination, but here are my top choices:

Before visiting other countries I'd love to savor the treasure in my beloved Philippines. Built by a sugar baron in the early 1990's the mansion met a sad fate when it was burnt by the Filipino guerillas just to keep it from the clutches of the Japanese soldiers during the WWII.

It's historical significance alone made me want to visit the place. I couldn't figure out why but something in me love to witness its magnificence.

Given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to visit Japan? The Land of the Rising Sun or shall I say the land of anime, hello kitty, cherry blossoms, temples and home of the healthiest foods? There are just so many reasons to visit Japan. I guess I should consider travelling to Japan as one of my childhood dreams. I feel like I'm closer to this childhood dream now that the country plans to mull its no visa rule for Filipinos. hehe Just wait Nippon!

From the land of the rising sun, I'll visit the home of the sun God. Just let me ride in those camels and do a jump shot with the pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx behind me and I'm ready to go charot! Seriously, imagine witnessing the only one still in existence of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Isn't it amazing?! Is'nt it life changing? Isn't it? haha

Life isn't complete without love and as the great Possum once said, " love is the driving force behind any experience". I just can't wait to be in love with someone who loves me as much as I love him and then fly with him to Paris! ahhh... Je t' aime Paris <3 I can imagine holding my lover's hands as we walk into the Louvre museum, lock our love to eternity at the bridge of Pont des Arts and kiss each other in front of the Eiffel Tower. C'est la vie!

As much as I love blogging, I also love to hike! How rewarding would it be for me to hike in this 15th century Inca site and rediscover its grandeur? It's geographical location might pose some threats but haha I laugh in the face of dangers! Danger + grandeur for me is real adventure!

Home of the Greek gods and goddesses and my poetry heroes- there is so much brilliancy and beauty in this place. Greece is truly the heaven on earth! One step closer and you'll be in heaven. No poems are enough to describe the beauty of Greece. A week in Santorini would be a transcendental experience for a budding poet like me. I might as well write a never ending ode to Greece once I get there ;)

As you may have notice from my travel wish list, most of the places have historical significance. That's because, YES, I'm obsessed with history! I love studying historical facts and learning about them. After all we wouldn't be here without our glorious history. There are so many things I'd love to do in different places. I'd love to eat, pray, love, and write, but most of all I'd love to travel to live <3

If you real want something bad enough, you have to make an effort to have it right? If you cannot have it, then at least you know that you gave your best shot. In terms of travelling, you can of course save money enough for you to travel or you can avail travel plans by offered by Airbnb. Or you may start by making your own travel bucket wish list also by Airbnb all you have to do is to visit their website.

To gain all while you give,

To roam the roads of lands remote,

To travel is to live.”

Finally able to take photos of my make-up bag and its content. Can't wait to share it to you guys. Nothing's really special about the contents but I hope you enjoy my humble share ;)

My make up bag is actually a cute little bag that I got from Misen, a store similar to Daiso Japan.

The Contents

Let's talk about the basics first. These are the things I put all over my face. I have one face powder, one foundation and a BB stick.

1. Face Powder from Careline. I've been using this face powder for years now. I'm using the one in Natural shade since it's perfect for my skin tone. The face powder doesn't last all day but I love the fact that it contains Vit.E keeping my skin healthy. Also, I never had any problems on my skin using this product.

2. Powder Foundation from Maybelline. I do not use this one. I use this for emergency make up session.

3.BB stick from Maybelline. I apply this one all over my face before putting on my face powder. I love how light this product and how it instantly give me a fresh look. I got so many compliment about how "glowing" I look whenever I use this product. However, it doesn't last that long contrary to its 24-hour long wearing boast on its ads.

BLUSH-ONS

1. Cheek Mousse from Nichido in Pink Champagne. This one is a shiny, velvety blush on. I love the fact that this gives a very subtle color. Makes me look like I have a natural blush.

2. Bronzer/Blush On from Ever Bilena in Gold Icon. I use this under my pink blush-ons. This one is to "sculp" my round face so this one's really a go-go. I love how it comes with a built it brush and its beautiful shimmer.

3. Blusher from Etude House in Grapefruit Jelly. This is the most recent product I added on my make up kit. So far I'm loving this product. At first I do not like this because it's too subtle, but when applied above my powder, it looks great. It looks so natural and this gives me a very nice glow too. Moreover, the packaging is so cute, as expected from Etude House. I love the powder puff the most, it's so cute! Don't you think so?

EYE PRODUCTS

1. Eyebrow liner from Daiso Japan. I use this one everyday to line my eyebrows. I love this one because this gives a very natural color. Not so light and not so dark, the color is just right. I think this is perfect for my everyday look.

2. Eyebrow liner from Ever Bilena in Kleopatra. I use this one if I want my eyebrows to look more visible. Usually I use this during special events. I like this one because it lasts all day so I do not need to do any retouch.

3. Black liquid eyeliner from Fanbo Cosmetics. I already bought 3 or 4 of this liquid eyeliner. I love this one because this stays for a very long time even though it's cheap.

4. Diamond eye shadow from Korea. I forgot what brand is this 'cause it already faded but I got this from my sister.This one have two shimmering colors. I used the copper one all over my lid and the cream one under my eyebrows.

5. Paganini Collection lip brush. This one's a gift from a Christmas party with my best friends. I use this to apply my lip balm.

LIPPIES

I use different lippies depending on the day or my mood. I keep a few of each kind. I bring 3 lipsticks with me, a lip tint, a lip gloss and a lip balm.

1. Lip Tint from Tupperware. I got this from a giveaway I won last year. I seldom use this.

2. Lip Gloss from Watsons. I use this lip gloss for my friends who want an instant make over from me but I never really use this one. I do not like the "I just ate lechon look" lol

3. Moisturizing lip balm from Watsons. This one's my favorite lip balm ever! I love how it moisturize my lips and at the same time giving it a subtle color. I use this before I put any make up on my face.

4. Matte long lasting lipstick from Wet n Wild in Cinnamon Spice. I've been reading a lot of good reviews about Wet n Wild lipsticks. It so happened that my best friend wants one so badly so I bought 2 lippies of the same brand. One to give to my friend as a gift, and one for me. This is deep red in color and I love how matte this lipstick is. This also lasts long so this one is a real must have for me. I usually wear this when I feel so bold and feeling like a vampire lol.

5. NYX matte lipstick in Indie Flick. Orange is one of my favorite lip color! As soon as I saw this lippie, I fell in love with it! I use this one when I want to achieve that fresh look! I love how matte this lipstick is. It is matte but it does have a velvety feel when I glide this on my lips.

6. Lipstick from VOV Korea in Fushion Orange. I also got this from my sister as a gift. This is a sheer lipstick. I'm not a big fan of sheer lipsticks but this one's orange so..this is love! I usually top this on my NYX lipstick :)

I think I have more than what I need for my lips inside my bag but I usually choose from these 3 lipsticks.

SWATCHES
1. NYX lipstick
2. Wet n Wild
3. VOV
