I'm Alive. LOL.

I know, I know. I've been a terrible blogger. Nearly eight months without a word from my side of the interwebs but I'm hoping I'll be more "present" in the up and coming year. So much has been going on that I couldn't possibly find the energy or time to update this humble little blog of mine. There have been birthdays, weddings, deaths, and friends giving birth but I've decided to share snipets from the past couple months; concerts I've been to, hair colors my bleached fried hair managed to survive, and this absolutely darling new boyfriend of mine. *teehee* 

Finally found the time to wind down and update this page with a post. *phew*

Hmm I don't know where to begin with being gone for so long but here's a short update of my hair. Last I remember, it was black on top and purple underneath. from there i changed the purple to pink ( as seen below) 

Around May 2012

From there I decided to chop my ends off and used the temporary black tub of dye from Manic Panic 

July- August 2012

Late August I decided to strip the black off and go a pinkish-purple

August 2012

Then came September and I i thought of going dark again but stayed away from black. So I went a deep purple using Special Effects Deep Purple.

I always see an opportunity to shift colors whenever the current one fades so from purple I decided to go BLUE and that lasted nearly two months. My favorite one so far. But that didn't stick either. :3

Three weeks ago, I stripped all the blue off and stayed a bleached blonde for about a week...

I never really intended to stay blonde so i mixed up a drop of deep purple with a ton of conditioner to make a pastel purple/lavender. That lasted for about 2 days.

And now we have come to my current hair color. I used Manic Panics Rock N Roll Red on top And Special Effects Deep Purple at the bottom. I've decided to keep it this way for awhile cause everytime I catch up with friends over coffee or drinks, they never fail to comment on how my hair changes whenever I see them. HAHA

December 2012

Before I forget, I'd just like to say that I saw MEGADETH last June. yes. you read that right. It was the most amazing night of my life. They played all the songs that mattered to me and it was a breeze going to the toilet because, well, there were more men than women at the gig. I went with my brother and we sang our hearts out. Too bad SLR's weren't allowed inside the concert and all my camera photos have been deleted by accident but the memory of that amazing night will forever be with me.

 

Now I'd like to end this post with photos of my beau and I. We can be really mushy mushy and I've never been happier. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!

  

























P.S

My next post will be all about the holidays and how I keep my hair healthy and soft. Till next time!! xoxo

pimpin' purple

So I recently got really bored with the black I've replaced my pink hair with and decided to shake things up a bit. I still didn't want to bleach my entire head because I kind of overdid it the last time and i'm still in the process of fixing my hair (getting it soft and manageable again). Three weeks ago, i dyed the underside of my hair PURPLE :) these photos were taken a week after I put the color in and a couple days before i chopped my hair off!! (that's another post yet to come) 

i am pretty vain when it comes to my hair ^^ that's no secret.

                                       

in case any of you are wondering, I used Special Effect's Deep Purple over bleached hair, then a week after, I added in a little Bit of Pimpin' Purple. It's almost time for another touch up :)

Hair Envy (hairspiration?)

I've been creeping on a bunch of random photos on the interweb-nets and just can't help but fall in love with the styles and shades and length of all the awesomeness that is HAIR. So this post is basically my hairstyle bucket list. I've already crossed out pink hair and maybe blonde pixie cut will soon follow...we shall seeee.

Black sidecut for when I decide to go back to my natural color.
Because black sidecuts seem more badass than blonde ones.

Pastel Colors. Nuff said. I'd describe myself to be cute and tough at the same time
(if that even is possible). You could be saying "they have a word for that, Bea.
It's called being BiPolar." Whatevs. Moving on.

And I mentioned this in my previous post, but I'm dying to have this blonde pixie cut.
I can tell that it's going to be one of those
"It seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of things.

PLUM hair. OH how I adore this color!! I don't quite remember how I cam across this photo but the back of this gorgeous head belongs to Sarah Gaugler (singer, model, tattoo artist) a local Philippine celebrity of sorts. I'm hoping I can get tattooed by her sometime soon.

That's about it for now. Tune in to see what i make of the hair that sits atop my noodle.

A Special Kind of Vain

I have been obsessing about my hair for the past week now and ever since the appearance of my roots, I've suspected that I've been grinding my teeth a lot more in my sleep. Yes, little things like that annoy me. Sooooo, I decided, instead of shelling out big bucks at a salon, to bleach my roots myself. It wasn't a totally bad decision, except that the rest of my hair is a lot more orange compared to my freshly bleached black roots. This could be because of the different brand of bleach that I used? Yeah. That could be it. Oh! And I'm not looking forward to what the people are going to say at the office tomorrow, coz they usually ask for explanations as to why you'd style your hair a certain way and what not. And frankly I'm just tired of saying "Because I felt like it." So tomorrow I will use the "My Religion demands it" reason.

This blog is starting to seem like a hair blog. uuuuh. Check it out. My pores are huuuuge. Sorry about that, and the unkept eyebrows. hihihi

I'm thinking of keeping the blonde for awhile before i dye my hair Pink again. I'm actually thinking of Agyness Deyn when I stay bleached blonde. But I don't think I can really pull her look off. wah. And also, the gentleman says that I look like a confused Asian. :-/

Can't Stop Bitching

....about my faded pink hair. 

THIS is what i started with 3 weeks ago

THIS is what i'm forced to live with until my Special Effects Dye arrives. BLECH!! Hopefully before the weekend.

this photo shouldn't be lying down. it should be all vertical and such but isn't cooperating with the photo rotation thingy)
