I always keep my fingernails at the shortest possible length because I’m not comfortable typing (which is what I do most of the day) with long nails. Even back in college, when all the other girls are sporting long, sexy nails, I kept mine super short. But while I don’t exactly keep them well-manicured, I still like to paint my nails a solid color. To be honest I haven’t tried those at home pedicure services ever, so I do all the polishing myself. Not a pretty sight up close as I don’t have steady hands, but passable to look at about three feet away. Laugh but hey, that’s all I need.

Last December when we were at my MIL’s house I had time to change nail color every week. So it was black, red, black red for the whole month. Those are the only two colors I’m comfortable seeing in my hands. It’s no wonder I haven’t taken up to copying what I see on the YouTube video tutorials that my youngest sister often watches. It’s fascinating, but I’d rather read a good book than spend twice the time I usually do on my nails. I’m just not that kind of girl. I do love watching those tutorials with my sister, though. I admire those women who are fastidious about how their nails look. Patience is the key, I know. And I have little of that for the nail department.

But, that’s just me. Do you like doing your nails constantly? I hear it’s even some women’s treat to themselves after a hard day at work or school. Are you a certified nail-aholic?

Fourth week of December and we’re still on the Wrapping It Up month, where we discuss some of the things we did this 2011. This Thursday it’s about the best new person that we met this year, meaning someone new that we got to know in person for the first time EVER and has become our favorite person ever since. It could be a celebrity, a new friend, a new member of the family, etc.

My best new person this 2011 would be my cousin Xien. She is just two months old, so she’s literally a “new” person, but she’s my favorite among the new people I’ve met this year. I adore babies, especially if they’re cute and cuddly. Xien is kind of on the chubby side, and she smiles a lot when I talk to her. She is sooo adorable!

Sure she likes to yawn and froth at the mouth and talk to walls, but hey, that’s what babies do best. When we go back to Baguio I will surely miss her, so I made her mom (my aunt) promise that she’ll have new pictures up on Facebook constantly. How about you dearies? Who was the best new person you met this 2011? Do share!

Hi girlies! We’re still wrapping up 2011 in a series of posts for this month on Girls Talk, and this week in particular is about the monies that we earned and where we spent most of it this year.

This 2011, aside from the money that I spent on eating out with the family, the biggest portion of my 2011 money went to the gadgets that are now helping me do my job faster, communicate to the world better, and entertain my family more.

I think next year I will slow down a bit in buying gadgets, since I have already bought the essentials that I need. Maybe in 2013 I will start upgrading them, but the money I will be earning in 2012 will be saved up for (I hope) finally buying our own home.
