TOPAZ HORIZON

Hello!

I've disappeared! November was CRAZY! Just a recap via my Instagram:

Vito went to school.

Putting on his socks and shoes all by himself. My sweet, independent boy! And his brother who also wants to go to school and is crying his heart out :(

I got a haircut so I'll be pretty for my birthday.

At the neighborhood parlor and this is just too funny heehee

I celebrated my birthday!

Sigh! My birthday weekend is over! I'll blog about it this week on Topaz Mommy (since I have giveaways to do on Topaz Horizon). Thank you to my family, my friends and followers for making my 38th birthday wonderful! Mwah!

Plus, meetings, events, lunches with friends, and family affairs (birthdays and anniversaries). I won't post the photos na of those. Hindi niyo naman sila kilala haha. But there! Punong-puno ang Nobyembre ko! December promises to be a little less hectic. Well, I have TONS of deadlines to meet this week so, okay, I'm gone again!

Will blog next week! Mwah!

Can't get enough of her!



If I were a boy, I'd totally marry Taylor and have the honor of having a song written about me. I mean, it's not a dubious honor at all. To be immortalized in song. Forever!


Even if it goes down in flames, I'd still be immortal!!!

I am loving this photo from Vanity Fair's silly story on the possibility of Lorde and J.Law becoming BFFs.

Powerful women here! From left, that's singer Lorde, Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer, and Oscar winner movie star Jennifer Lawrence. I saw the photo and I almost felt raw power emanating from it because these women are the next big thing (well, they actually already are) in the entertainment world.

The great thing about them, too, is how natural, fearless and authentic they are. I'm not a fan of Lorde or J.Law (and by that, I mean I don't follow Lorde's music or Jennifer's movies) and I fell for Natalie's talent in The Tudors. I know they are amazing young women who are fierce feminists. Great role models for our own young women really. Strong, unapologetic, passionate, driven women. Love them!

Taylor Swift's Blank Space debuted today (well, again haha) and I love it!



Love. Love. Love!

Love the dresses. Love the makeup. Love the places this was shot. Love the guys. Love Taylor!

I love it especially when she goes insane. I've never actually allowed myself to go crazy with my romances. I'm really quite level-headed, practical and sensible. This video is a fantasy for me. Oh, all those cheating ex-boyfriends I wish I could just club over on the head! But, no, every break up, I was polite. I think I even said, "Thank you."

Eww. I think that's crazier.
