The Kikay In Me Discovered After 20 Years

I was never a Kikay in my entire life until September 30, 2010. Remember my post about The Birth of Aphrodite In The Making? If you haven't read it yet, I guess it would be best to start there. =)

When this blog was given birth, so as the "Kikay In Me" too. I never really had an idea what it's like to be a kikay -- just like what common teenage girls do.

When these girls had pressed powders, lip balm, eye shadows and even mascaras -- I could still clearly remember that I only have my J&J loose powder (the white variant).

When they carefully lined their eyebrows, put in eyeshadows, mascara and lipsticks and press each foam of powder to their face -- I only have to pour a small amount in my palm, clap and clap till the powder goes with the air before it lands to my face. That's how I was in my teenage till college years.

Does it sound so boring? As in real boring teenage life? I know it does, but it was my choice anyway. In fact, I wasn't bored anyway! So does that matter?

But life never failed to amaze me with its surprises. Who would have thought that after two decades, I can still be a Kikay? For roughly two months, I have quiet a lot of discoveries of products and tips that I learned from friends and internet references. And yes, I discovered a new me as well. And most importantly, I discovered what "Kikay-ness" really is about.

Being Kikay doesn't simply mean having all those fancy cosmetic products, luxurious hair treatments and spas but I learned it goes back and forth to its main goal -- to be confident! It's really about the confidence, my dear ladies and gentlemen. Whether you dressed the simplest or the most glamorous, as long as you are confident of who you are -- you will always look and feel at your best! =)

So, Have a Happy Kikay Discovery Everyone! =)

Female Davao Bloggers Bonded in TLCShop

To account, this is my first time to join and even learned of a bloggers' event exclusively for ladies. It was a kikay-bonding with beautiful bloggers -- Alma, Kathy, Joyce, Leah and the organizers - Brendel and Ria. We visited Davao TLCShop who is also beautifully owned by Joeanne.


The excitement grew deeper as each day of waiting passes. You'd even feel more the essence of waiting when you get in to the thrill of finding Jo's TLCShop...hehhee.. till now I couldn't figure where it really is.

We really had fun. Evidence to that? Oh well, we lasted from 7pm to 11pm -- is that enough? If not, hey how about you take a look of what we've got that night. ;)

can't get enough of this powder's fragrance... hhhhhhhmmmmm....

it's all about freebies...

Alma applying the BB cream...

I'd really like to thank Alma for informing me about this event, Jo for welcoming us to your shop, Ria and Brendel for organizing, Leah for the photos and the rest of female bloggers who graced the said event. Hope to see you again girls, very soon! =)
