There Will Be Stories

Ravonni Lu, Foreverteen. I blog about what I do, what I want and eat, where I go, who I spend time with and some random stuff, thoughts and stories. It’s just a blog about my life. “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”― Anne Frank

Late Xmas Wizlist 2016 Lels

This is way too late now because it’s past christmas, but oh well papel I have to do this. This has been an annual thing on my blog for 4 years now, so I have to really do this, hindi maaring ma break ang annual wizlist natin mga friendship! Push keber kung late!!

I’ve been looking for this slippers for a long time now and I couldn’t find a black one in my size, lagi na lang yung navy blue. But!! I found one already and na-order na siya, hopefully kasya siya sakin. Thanks to my stepdad sa pag sponsor ng pang bili. Haha!

My sister gave me a pandora bracelet for my birthday last October. I haven’t bought any charms for myself because wala lang, parang mas bongga pag gift. Parinig talaga e noh? Now you know what to get me for my birthday and christmas next year. Lels!

Hay, I know this is so impossible to find now because this was released early this year and it is so hard to find one, but who knows I might find one. I got a NMD with a different colour way, I’m happy with what I got but I would be happier if I find Sao Paulo. I wish I wish!!

Never in a million years I’ve thought of getting a GoPro, because I don’t think I will use it kasi di ako mahilig mag beach, feeling ko di ko siya masusulit and I can always borrow my mom’s waterproof camera, but my recent trip to El Nido made me thinking of getting one, siguro soon pag mag ta-travel at beach na talaga aketch ng bongga. Let’s see!

Another impossible thing on my wish list, lels! Baka Macbook 2018 na di parin ako nakakabili neto, hahahaha! I’ve been using my Macbook Pro for few years now, there’s nothing wrong with it, still works perfectly but I just want to upgrade, bet ko yung touch bar and space grey colour bagay sa black iPhone ko, lavet!! 

That’s all! I’m happy that I got everything on my wish list last year, yay! Hopefully etong mga ‘to rin (ASA HAHAHA)! But with or without these things I’m still thankful with everything that I have now. Hihi! Happy New Year Guys! :)

[ravonnilu]

Halerrrr, I’m finally baaack!! 🎉

As I’ve said on my previous post which is way back last October that I’ll be visiting Philippines, and that trip made me really busy so I didn’t blog or posted anything and I don’t have my laptop with me so really no chance to blog.

I arrived Sydney last Nov 27 and since then I was busy so really no time for blogging. But I promise to catch up and blog all about the things that have happened while I was in the Philippines. Watch out for my upcoming posts!! 😉

[ravonnilu]

Oh yes!! Hahaha. Hello October is finally here! Whew! September was really indeed a busy month for me. All is good and well though!

Elijah Turns Three

Medyo late na post na naman! I’m a bit busy last month. Huhu medyo madaming kaganapan. Anyway, I’ll share to you guys more of the kaganapan last month on my Hello October post coming up soon (jusko haha mag second week na ng October waley pa din hahahaha).

K ang daming daldal. I’ll move on to Elijah’s Birthday which this post is all about. My liitle boy celebrated his 3rd birthday last September 24. 

It was indeed a good timing because his birthday was on Saturday, Saturday means everyone is here so yay!

My sister (Raiza) took Elijah out as soon as he woke up so me and my mom could prepare the food and my other sister (Rinna) could set up the house. He was very surprised when he arrived home, siguro naisip niya na legit birthday niya na to. Usually nakiki-blow lang siya ng candles sa mga nag birthday dito. Haha!

Elijah’s Birthday Cake

Without the candles

My little boy 💙

These are the food my mom and I prepared

Blowing of the candles

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!!! 🎂🎉

Opening of the gifts

That’s pretty much it for his birthday.. Hope Elijah liked the simple celebration we did for him. I bet he did! I love you Elijah always and forever!!

PS. Thank you to my mom and my sister for helping me out, especially to Raiza for sponsoring the beautiful balloons. Thank you to MJ as well for the yummy and cute Rainbow cake. Thanks everyone! 😀

[ravonnilu]

Haler! September is here. Ber month is here!

Finally winter is over and my favourite season is here which is spring, yas and I cannot wait for October because PH Trip. Wooohhh!!

August was a bit busy for me and the first week of September as well. K, here are the random things and ganap ganap few weeks back.

I’ve been binge watching How To Get Away With Murder.

My sister celebrated her 21st birthday last Aug 30, we surprised her (my idea). She didn’t plan anything for her birthday at all and I’m glad that she liked our suprise party for her. Huhu sorry no photos to share because I did all the preparation and cooking.

Fixed some papers for Elijah.

Shopped some pasalubongs for the family in PH.

New Jadine teleserye, yaas!

Preordered a new phone last Friday and I’m so freaking excited!

Hmmm, I think that’s all? Ang dami e noh? Hahaha lels!

5 more weeks to go and I’ll see you PH! Have a good September everyone, Merry Christmas! Charot.

[ravonnilu]

As I promised a long time ago, this is it pansit, a haul! Though it’s not yet the huge Cotton On haul that i’ve been talking about from my past post, I hope this mini haul will do for now. Pag sinipag ako promise yung Cotton On haul na talaga. 

Let me start with the make up products that I purchased couple of months back. I’m so proud of myself, that I only bought 4 make up products since the start of this year. 

KYLIE LIP KIT (DOLCE K) - Which I mentioned on my previous post.  BENEFIT POREFESSIONAL - My favourite primer, charot ng favourite haha! This is the only primer that I’ve tried and works with my sensitive skin kaya favourite talaga haha. I ran out of this that’s why I purchased a new one. MAC PREP + PRIME FIX PLUS - I’ve been hearing good reviews on this product that’s why I got it. It’s really a good product, if you want that dewy finish and if you want a more natural looking make up. Unfortunately, I think my skin doesn’t like it so I’m not using it at the moment. Huhu sad. MAC DISC SPONGE - Not actually a make up product lels more of a tool pala, I just needed to replace my sponge from my powder so I got two of those.

Next, the clothing. 

COTTON ON PLAIN SHIRTS - I’m into plain shirts slash leggings slash pull over at the moment so I bought a couple of plain shirts. BIRKENSTOCK EVA - I wanted to buy a Birkenstock for a long time but I was having second thoughts because first, it’s expensive and second, I don’t really wear open shoes (e.i. sandals and slippers). But I like the design and based from what I heard it’s super comfy too, and since I know that the Birks with corks cannot get wet, I thought of getting EVA, it’s way cheaper than the ones with corks plus I can wear it when I go to beach in November. (hint hint!😉) CROCS LOAFER - Akalain mong may ganyan pala na design ang Crocs! Haha. This is not actually for me, I’m not really into loafers or boat shoes. It’s for my favourite auntie, Tita Rhoda. I hope it will fit her and she would like it. 

And last but not the least..

T2 ASSORTED GREEN TEA & SENCHA - T2 here in Australia is quite expensive compare to Tetley, Lipton and Twinings but it’s way more legit, as in. Ugh! Love it so much!! i’m pretty sure I’ll be purchasing more soon. 💚

I hope this is an interesting haul. I’ll do more hauls soon pag medyo sinipag na. Hihi! Have a good night everyone!

[ravonnilu]

August is finally here! Two more freaking months to go, konting tumbling na lang talagaaaaa! 

Before an update on the happenings last July, let me first share to you the things, thoughts and all that jazz that made me happy the past few weeks. 

1. KYLIE LIP KIT 

I’m going to start with this since siya yung nasa photo. As you all know, I’m a huge lipstick person, mawala na lahat ng make up, wag lang talaga lipstick!

I’ve been meaning to get this for a long time because obviously I wanna try it, who doesn’t anyway? But it’s so freaking expensive. But finally I found one who sells it for a cheaper price, still a bit expensive but cheaper than the ones they sell on Instagram. So yay! I’ll try to make a review on this one soon. 💄 2. COUSINS ARRIVAL IN SYDNEY

My second degree cousin (father side) visited Sydney last month with his wife. We are not actually that close but it was indeed fun hanging out with him and his wife. 

3. POKEMON GO

This game was released last July around first week here in Australia, I won’t say I’m hooked in the game but yeah it’s fun and entertaining, I like it! Team Mystic anyone? 💙

4. T2 GREEN TEA

I love T2′s Sencha Tea so much, though its a bit expensive, it’s absolutely worth it as in legit green tea talaga!! 💚

5. BOOKED! 

Booked three getaways on my visit in the Philippines this coming October. Can’t wait to blog and share my upcoming trips to you guys. Yay!

And that’s it for my not so interesting happy list. Hehe! See you on my next post! 😄

[ravonnilu]

Haler Baler! WOW grabe lang wala na naman akong na post last month. Ugh! Medyo madaming ganap ganap kaya naging busy ng slight. Hehehe

Here’s a bit of a recap ng mga ganap ganap last June:

Watched Finding Dory with my sister, Raiza and Elijah. It was Elijah’s second time watching at the cinemas and he’s not that really interested with the movie unlike when we watched the Jungle Book few months back.

Booked for a getaway on November with Ria!! Push na talaga itey. Excited much na ako! ✈️  

It was my mom’s birthday last June 23, but celebrated her birthday on the 25th. We had a simple lunch out with the whole family. 

My cousin stayed in for the night, we watched The Conjuring 2 which is quite disappointing because I have this huge expectation that I would get scared especially I wake up most of the time around 3 or 4am because Elijah asks for milk (Okay, TMI haha) but nah the movie was okay, not good not bad just okay haha. I haven’t seen The Conjuring 1 so I cannot compare them but they were saying that the first one is better. Whatever! Haha!

Binge watched Orange is the New Black. I don’t know what to feel about the whole season, it’s good though but for me not as good as the past seasons.

Game of Thrones season 6 is over. Huhu! (Don’t continue reading if you haven’t seen the season finale) Why Tommen?? Why??? Sobrang gwapong bata! 💔  Yeah I’m kind of expecting that he will die but not too soon though. Anyway, as long as Ghost is alive, I will continue loving this show! Hands down GoT, YOU DA BEST!!

Finally it’s July already! 3 more freaking months to go.. I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. Lels! I really cannot wait to go back and visit Philippines again. Konting tumbling na lang!!

Have a good month ahead everyone! 💛

[ravonnilu]

It’s the last day for the month of May already! 😱  Grabe ang bilis! Konting tumbling na lang.. October na! Hayyy sana October na. I cannot wait anymore pero sobrang excited na ako. Hihi! 

Daming daldal haha. Eto na nga! Here it is, the small things that made me happy recently..

1. New Make Up

Wait! Short story muna.. Honestly, I haven’t bought any make up for a long time and this would be a big achievement for me because I usually spend my money buying lipsticks and all that limited edition make up shit. The last time I bought one before this recent one was way back in December I think (?) which was a MAC lipstick and that’s it! 

But.. Hahaha I recently bought a new one, it’s the MAC Prep + Prime Fix Plus and I love it! I bought it last April actually. I used it a few times already and I like it so much! It makes my powder (since I don’t use liquid foundation) very natural, less powdery looking and dewy. I’m very happy with it!!

2. Cold Weather

It is a bit contradicting saying that I’m happy with the cold weather since I’m not a big fan of winter season. But I kinda feel it’s better than the super hot weather last summer. Now it’s getting 5C here in our suburb and tomorrow is finally the start of winter season. #WinterIsComing ⛄️

3. Facial

I just had an awesome facial last Thursday. It was so good! Haven’t had a facial since I got pregnant and had Elijah. Finally had some me time. I’m planning to get another next month. Yas!

4. McDonald’s New Choc Pie

There’s this new pie na pauso ng Mcdo and it’s the best!!!!!!!!!!!! Sobra! If I could just give each one of you so you could try it. Hands down sa pie na ‘to, mas masarap sa Apple Pie ng 100 times. Lelz OA much pero ang sarap talaga! I had 3 na magkakasunod last weekend! No regrets though, walang diet diet muna sa pie na yun. 😂

5. Paul and Elijah

Of course I’m always happy with them. Minsan nakaka stress pero I love them always and forever and ever! 💛  I will always be thankful and happy for having them especially Elijah.

Those are the small things that made me happy recently and medyo konting update na rin sa mga ganap ganap in life. Hehe! Anyway, see you on my next post! 😄

[ravonnilu]

Yas! I’m finally blogging!! Woohhh! Grabe naman kung di niyo alam that it was Mother’s Day yesterday, haha!

Last year, my sisters and I prepared breakfast for our mum, we did the same yesterday too but went out as well to have dinner at this newly opened burger place, Grill’d. 

I know you cannot actually see what’s written on the menu but I ordered the Almighty Burger. It has bacon, egg, beetroot, lettuce and etc. They offer different kinds of burgers.. Lamb, Chicken or even Vegan. They also have salads and steak sandwiches.  

Rinna, my youngest sister and Elijah. 💙

The kids (or kids at heart) can draw and colour while waiting for the food. It’s not a long wait though.

My sisters plate.

My mum’s burger. Didn’t took a photo of my burger because before I could it fell already, not on the floor haha sa other side lang nung plate. 😂

Sweet Potato, Potato and Zucchini chips with three different sauces. Zuchinni was the best! The far last one tastes like sweet chilli na parang yung sauce ng fish balls sa Pinas. 

My other sister ordered a Vegan burger because she’s a vegetarian and Michael had a salad.

And my ever gorgeous, baby faced looking mom. I love you! 💙

[ravonnilu]

Hello, it's me.. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet.. 🎶 Charot!! Hellooooooo! Whatz up? As usual, di na naman nakapag blog kasi wala talaga akong ma-blog plus I’m too lazy huhu! Wala akong post ni isa last month. Enebeyen! Yung haul ko waley pa din. Tsk!<p>Okay, moving on to that.. Here are things that happen for the past month.

I booked my flight to PH already, see you soon Manila!! I can’t wait kahit medyo matagal tagal pa ng slight. But time flies so fast so malapit na rin yun. Lels! I’m really excited!! 

I renewed my passport last month as well because it will expire around July. I went with my sister and Elijah, we went shopping and had this good burger and chips at Burger Project. 

I’m currently catching up on Game of Thrones, I’m in season 5 already. The last time I watched the series was way back when Elijah was 1 year old, I think that was season 3. Anyway, promise next week nasa latest episode na ako. 

I’m playing with my new camera, trying to figure out how it works and stuff and I’m appreciating it more. Pero nkklk lang kasi the mark ii of G7x is coming out this month. Oh well, that would be expensive though so keri na ang G7x ko.

Parang ayun lang naman ang mga kaganapan sa life ko..

Sana matapos na rin yung eleksyon kasi sobrang kagulo sa social media at sa Pinas. It’s good that we didn’t go to the PH around this month dahil ang gulo daw talaga sa Pinas. If you are interested to know.. Yes, may bet ako president and VP (kahit di ako boboto). I’m really interested and concern with the things that are happening in PH although I don’t live there, I’ve watched all the debates for President and the VP. I need to be aware on what’s happening there because I still visit PH (tanim bala and stuff, you know) and I love my country. Vote very wisely guys!

Ok I think that’s it! See you on my next post! 😄

[ravonnilu]

Hey I’m back (again)! Grabe patapos na ang March eto pa lang first post ko. NKKLKA! 😂  Anyway, hello! I know it’s been a while and as I’ve said on my previous post that as much as possible I try to avoid watching series, and I just can’t. Haha! So I’ve been busy watching series for the past few weeks on my spare time, kaya di ako nakakapag blog. 

But here’s an update on what’s been really happening with my life at the moment. 

I got a new pair of glasses last last week and I’m really happy! I also got the frames that I’ve been meaning to get. You’ll probably see how the glasses looks like in my future posts. (I hope di na ako tamarin mag blog) 

I’ve been catching up on The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

I’m on it’s latest episode now. YAY! This new teleserye came out I think last month (?) and I’m so into it! It’s Dolce Amore, and dito ko talaga na appreciate si Liza Soberano. She is indeed pretty and super bagay nung role sakanya. 

I want to get a new theme for a change but I can’t find the perfect one. Any suggestions? I’m into minimalist theme.

I started reading November 9 by Colleen Hoover few weeks ago and I’m still on Chapter 2 because I’m too lazy to read. Huhu! I promise to get back on that soon!

Uhmmm wait.. I think that’s all. Hahaha sobrang waley na naman! Oh it was Paul’s Birthday last March 15. Happy Birthday Paul, i love you! Wala lang maisingit lang. Hehe! It’s getting a lot cooler now here in Sydney, good bye summer!! 

Okay.. Yung Cotton On Haul ko na talaga sa next post. Bye for now! 😄

PS. Walang konek talaga si Flynn (the cat) sa post na ‘to. Haha!

[ravonnilu]

Hi! Spot me. Hehe!

As much as possible I try to avoid watching new TV series because it consumes too much time and because I also need to catch up first with the other series that I’m watching (TVD, TO, PLL, Supernatural, etc). But thanks to Netflix, they released new and interesting series to watch and now I’m hooked to them. 

I’ve just finished watching Pretty Little Liars Season 5 and now catching up on the 6th season and then stopped again because I started watching..

GOOD MORNING CALL

A Netflix Original Japanese Series which I started watching two weeks ago. I was a bit surprised that they now have Japanese series (aside from Animes). So I was curious and started watching it. 

It’s a story of a high school girl who finally gets her own apartment, but she has to share it with the most popular boy in school. No one can know they're living together.

At first, I was like.. Meh! It’s too pambata! But as the story went on, I find it really cute. For me this series is like, Boys Over Flower slash Meteor Garden slash Full House (My favorite Kdrama of all time). Also, I have to wait every Friday for a new episode, most of the Netflix Original Series comes out in one go, like the whole season but this one doesn’t so I have to wait and think about what will happen next. It’s Saturday today and I haven’t seen the new episode because I was so focused and busy watching..

MAKING A MURDERER

A docu-series that tells the story of Steven Avery, a Manitowoc County, Wisconsin man, who served 18 years in prison for the sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beerntsen, before being exonerated in 2003. In 2005, he was arrested in connection with the murder of Teresa Halbach, a local photographer, and convicted in 2007. 

I’ve actually finished watching the docu-series just earlier today and I don’t know what to say.. I also don’t want to spoil if you haven’t watched it and if you haven’t, do try to watch it. This is the only series that I really did focused so much that I didn’t touched my phone or I need to pause it every time someone would talk to me, I didn’t even checked or post anything on my Snapchat for two days. Haha! I was even researching online on what’s happening now on the case, I’m so into it!

But if you already watched the series and wanna know what’s my point of view, it’s actually 50/50. But Avery’s Defense Lawyers are really good and did their best but.. I guess their best wasn’t good enough. Anyway, I’m looking forward on what will happen next. 

PLAYFUL KISS 

"Mischievous Kiss" is a romantic-comedy covering the romance between Baek Seung-Jo, an arrogant young man with a genius IQ, and Oh Ha-Ni, a ditzy young woman who gets poor grades, but whose heart is as powerful as Seung-Jo's mind. The series is based off from a Taiwanese drama and a Japanese manga book. It is call "It Started With a Kiss." It is about a girl in F class that falls in love with an A class boy. She liked him since the first year of high school. Once, she decided to tell him she likes him but was rejected. So the story continues about the girl who keeps chasing after the boy she loves.

I’m quite sure that most of you knows about this Korean drama. This on my top list of Korean dramas. Yes, I’ve watched this series already, a couple of times actually and it’s still cute, funny and I still get kilig!  I’m really happy that Netflix got Korean dramas now. I’m excited to watch this all over again and mag feeling high school ulit! Chos!

That would be all for the series that I’m currently watching and maybe you guys are now getting bored with these paragraphs. I’m going to end this now, don’t worry! Haha. Bye! I’m gonna watch OTWOL finale now, Ciao for now!

PS. Watch Making A Murder! I highly recommend it! 👍

[ravonnilu]

It's been a while since the last time I made one of this. I forgot that I’m doing this list. Lels! But anyway, here it is.. An update of the things that made me happy for the past few months. 

1. NEW CAMERA

This has been on my annual xmas wizlist for the longest time and finally I got a new one last month. Can’t wait to play with it. (Check out about my new toy HERE).

2. PINOY FOOD

I miss eating pinoy dishes/food! So last week I went to my friend’s house and stayed there for few days and I’m so happy that I get taste to pinoy food again! I had Tinola, Sinigang, Adobo etc. Sobrang babaw ng kaligayahan ko! 😅

3. ONE DIRECTION

I can’t imagine myself being a fan of 1D. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against them and I do listen to them way back in 2011 but the recent album of them (Yes, without Zayn on it) is so good!! This is so funny! I have a favorite 1D member now too. 😂 Louis baby!! 💙

4. NEW CLOTHES

Nothing beats retail therapy when you’re feeling down, so I bought some new clothes and I will do a haul post soon! 

5. NEW TELESERYE

Sadly, OTWOL will be ending this week but I’m happy there’s a new teleserye that came out last week (Dolce Amore). I hope I’ll be consistent on watching this because I’m not a super fan of LizQuen but so far it’s good.

Nothing much for this list. Simple things really makes me happy. 😊

[ravonnilu]

[ravonnilu]

Yasss! Finally after 3 years! I got a new camera! I’ve meaning to get a new one. It’s been on my Christmas wish list for two consecutive years. I have no plans of getting it this January though because I’m still torn on which camera should I get. I’m very indecisive that I don’t know which one to get between Sony, Samsung or Canon. 

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my Sony NEX-5n, it has been with me since 2012. My Sony camera still works fine and perfectly, I just really want an upgrade. I also love my Canon 500D but it's now too big for me and I don't use it that much so my sister is using it now. Anyway, here it is.. the Canon G7x which I bought last Sunday (January 24).

The main reason why I wanted to get a new camera is because I want a smaller camera that I just can put inside my bag anytime and I want a camera that has Wifi/NFC so I can connect it to my phone and quickly transfer photos, plus the flip screen or selfie screen and the G7x got them all so yas!

I was thinking of getting the Sony RX100 iii because I’m so in love with my Sony NEX-5n that I wanna stick to Sony. But the Sony RX100 iii costs almost a thousand dollars, for a digital camera that would be really expensive and this Canon only costs around $800 but I got in on sale so I paid around $650. They pretty much have the same specs and features but I bet the RX100 iii is way more better but for now I think I’m good with the G7x. I was also choosing between Sony RX100 iii, Canon G7x and Samsung NX Mini but the NX mini doesn’t have that much good reviews unlike the Canon G7x that most of the youtubers rave about. 

That’s the flash over there, forgot to pop it out.

Overview

Combining exceptional image quality, creative versatility and a beautifully compact design, the new PowerShot G7X is a powerful pocket size camera that delivers outstanding results.

The strap comes with the camera while I got the camera case/bag from Lowepro. So far so good! I like it!!

Here are some sample shots: 

Can’t wait to use it more and share the photos to my blog and to you guys! 💙

My Reading Challenge

I’m so happy that I completed my last year’s reading challenge. I know it’s not that much compare to other bookworms out there but I’m glad that I completed it! It’s my actual first time completing one so.. yaaass!!

My goal is to read at least 25 books last year, at least 2 books per month. But since I always want to finish the book I’m reading right away, I ended up sometimes reading 2-3 books a week. 

Below are the books that I read last year. If you can see I’m more of a Young Adult slash Dystopian reader but please don’t judge me, I’ll do my best to explore other genres this year.

My goal for this year’s reading challenge would be 30, but I’m hoping that I’ll read more than 30. Look I’m 1 book behind already. lelz! I’m too busy catching up on Pretty Little Liars. Haha!

Anyway, I’m charging my Kindle now and I’ll start reading asap. I can’t wait to read new books and enter a different world. Meganon. 😀

PS. Add me up on Goodreads!
