This post was supposed to go up last week like it was already all written and edited with pictures but life got in the way which is freaking awesome. What happened is that one day I had to baby sit my sister for basically the whole day while my parents took my brother to see a doctor. Around 6 PM that day I called my mom to tell her that Lyss and I just woke up and she started bubbling about how we have to buy a headboard from another store. I was so confused and when I asked her to clarify what the heck she was talking about she just hang up. Two hours later they got home and I found out that they bought me a new bed. You probably didn't know this but my biggest dilemma about my room is that it's a freaking heptagon! And it's not even an even heptagon. Anyway, the bed forced me to move my stuff around again ((the last time I did was the first week of January)) and I'm happy it did because it opened up my room. It was already big but now it just looks way bigger. 

I figured I should show you guys the chaos that it was before I moved my things which was on Valentine's Day or as I like to call it "the day before I get to buy myself cheap chocolates". It is way messy and I didn't bother cleaning it up for these pictures because I was moving everything anyway. 

Basically I divided my room into sections. My bed, my work station, and entertainment area. Looking at the mess just makes my head spin, I'm so sorry.

I finished moving everything around the same day, 14th of February, but then my mom told me that I will get to keep my old bed, so I turned that into a couch and rearranged my room all over again last February 16. So why didn't I post this then? Well you goof, my bed didn't arrive until last Friday. So far I like this set up, however I still have a lot of things to buy like curtains that actually reach all the way down the floor, new bed sheets for my new Bae, bed skirt, pillows that I don't need, and maybe another one of those shelves from Target. I'm gonna stop talking now and show you guys my safe haven. 

This was the sight that welcomed me when I got home from school that Friday, February 20. My dad then it up, from the metal thing to the box to everything, exactly where I want it.


This is right after my dad set everything up and after I put on new sheets. It's crazy how fast the skylight changes these days.

Now let's go to the ones I took while Radha was over. I've been planning to take pictures for this post but for some reason didn't get around to it until today. I would say it's because I'm busy with school work but we all know I don't really do those like I'm supposed to.


This is what will welcome you if you ever drop by my room, which you should not do without knocking. Okay.. I lied, Radha won't be there. P.S. Inside the black hamper are my bags and I'm still figuring out where to put those.


My old bed that is now my couch. Yes, I love stuff animals. These are only out because I have nowhere else to put them. My guitar is in reach if I'm chilling by the couch. I know the TV is really close but I still need to but a new DVD/TV connector so I'll worry about it then.


This is my 'work' area but I don't even do work so. Yes, it is a breakfast table which is both a good thing and a bad thing. I love how it's really spacious but hate the stools. I also have a bookshelf under the table with art supplies and lots of books. It's under the table because I love putting pillows on the floor and then making a fort. It's like my secret hideout. My nail polishes are normally under my bathroom sink but I did Radha's nails today.


My shoes!!! I didn't get into shoes until this school year and look how far I've come. I did pay for most of my shoes and will probably for any future ones. If you want to see any of them or for me to review any, just leave a comment. Also, I'm thinking of doing a closet post so we'll see if I get around that.


Why have a bedside table when you can have a bedside shelf, right? In the pink box are DVDs and in the green one are junk foods. I recently just moved my jewelries out of my closet but I might put it back.

The rest of my room is basically filled with organizers of house stuff like sheets and curtains.

I know that wasn't really a proper tour but once I finalize my room in the next few months I'll post an updated one. I'm hoping to start a vlog by then like I wrote on my 2015 goals list.

If you have any room decor or organization suggestion please leave a comment. It can be anything, I love decorating but having a heptagon room is very draining. 

 I think the most efficient way to do this is to start off by listing all the products I use both everyday and miscellaneous ones. Also, last winter break I changed my shower time from morning before to school to night before bed in order to save time in the morning since I now have a 0 period class aka 7 freaking AM, so I'm going to talk about what I do after my shower.



Rose Salve
Olay Moisturizer 
Petroleum Jelly
Aveeno Eczema Therapy
Cetaphil
Sweet Seduction Foot Lotion
Victoria's Secret Hand and Body Creme
Make Up Academy Sugar Lip Scrub
Sally Hansen Hair Removal Wax Strip Kit

..Everynight..

I don't remember who exactly but somebody from Tumblr answered an ask and she talked about how rose salve helps her get rid of blemishes. I also read somewhere that putting on the rose salve first before the moisturizer is more effective, but I forgot why exactly.

I wear lipstick almost every single day and it just gets so dry. Chapstick is just not cutting it, I mean I do use chapstick when I don't wear lipstick, but at night I lean towards this petroleum jelly. I don't mind that it;s stickier compared to chapstick because I'm going to bed anyway.

Last spring I got this like weird rash thing that I don't even know how to explain, but now it's all like dried up and became dark spots. I am slowly seeing some improvement since I started putting on this product on it. I used to put the Olay micro sculpting ointment, but I ran out and this is way cheaper.

What do you mean I'm obsessed with lotion? What!? No! But seriously, you can just never have too much right? I use the Cetaphil on my legs and arms just because I do use all these lotions at night and if I use a scented one it'd just be ridiculous. My friend gave me this foot lotion a couple of years ago and I love it because it's kind of minty and vanilla at the same time and I am all for vanilla. The Victoria's Secret one I use just for my hands. Yea, I cannot just use unscented lotion on my hands. It's also in my favorite VS scent, 'Pure Seduction'.

..Miscellaneous..

If I have to choose which part of my face is my favorite I would go with my lips. Back in elementary school, my classmates would make fun of me because of it, but now people like it because it's thick. I do wear lipstick almost every single day and I mostly go for matte lipsticks and aside from that I always forget to drink 8 glasses of water everyday so my lips tend to crack and peel and it's just awful. I used to just put petroleum jelly on at night, but once or twice a week I'd use this lip scrub that my best friend, Carol, gave me for my birthday.

The instructions says to do this every 8 weeks but let's be honest do I ever listen? No! I wax my femstache every 2-4 weeks depending if I'm feeling lazy or not. The ones I buy comes with 3 different sizes but I only wax my femstache so I just cut up the bigger strips. And yes, the instructions tells you not to do that.

I think the only thing that would be more casual than this is PJs or sweats. This week felt like the longest week even though I only had four school days, probably because I now have 0 period.



This high tops along with my leather jacket made it look like I tried with my outfit without having to actually try and I am definitely all for that!


It's been a while and it's nice to be back. I wanna end this with some updates with my life. I am currently in my second semester of my senior year in highschool and let me tell you that senioritis is real! My grades actually took a blow last semester. Anyway... blog wise I hope you noticed that I have changed my name from subjectofadmiration to pensandlipsticks. I also changed the template back to a more elegant and minimalist look. I have tons of posts and possibly new series coming up so check back for those. Xx

Today I lost my virginity........ my CAVE virginity geez!! First thing first, I wore the wrong freaking shoes! I mean, it was muddy and wet, and guess what! I wore my white converse. 

Afterwards, we drove to another cavern with the plans of going zip lining, but it was too expensive for $40 per person, in the end we just settled for some wall climbing which is way friendlier to our parents' wallets. 

It's almost certain that whenever there's a break from school my family and I would go to the Bay Area. With that said, I'll be showing you what I'll be taking with me for the car ride. These pictures were taken during the Thanksgiving break but I'l be bringing the same things with me this coming winter break.


I forgot to take a picture of the actual backpack, but I do have a link of where to get it and they have pictures. I got mine from my mom (my aunt; father's oldest sibling- my cousins and I call her mommy).
get yourself one from here

I always always always carry a notebook with me. The first one is my all-crap notebook. It's basically everything in one: journal, planner, lists, everything! I will be making a separate post about it, I'm just waiting for the start of 2015 and even then it wouldn't be as complete as I am aiming for since I have a planner from school that I'll be using till June. The second one is actually my iPad mini. I have to have it with me whenever I'm in the car for more than a couple of hours. I have my ebooks in it and obviously, netflix.. The iPad case is from Kate Spade. The third one is my sketchbook that I recently just bought from Michael's. There's only a couple of sketches in it but as soon I finish some more I'll probably show it to you guys. And of course my pencil pouch.


I have my favorite scent from Victoria's Secret which is Pure Seduction and a matching pouch it came with. A pack of tissues that everybody should have one always in there bag. A comb which I only use after I shower. And a case from millenias ago when I was still in Philippines. In the picture it has a Kat Von D lipstick and a Rimmel one, but it depends what I'm wearing that day.


I have my keys and my school ID. I recently just changed my keychains and stuff so it's not like that anymore but look at my Starbucks card!! My wallet which was my mom's before. My camera and pouch that contains all my chargers. I got it from Target and it came with a smaller one that says 'stuff' and I use that one for feminine products. Also, my glasses case is from Target and I do wear glasses for class, movies, driving, etc.


I have my Dooney & Bourke pouch that contains miscellaneous little things. The pouch was a birthday gift from one of my bestfriends (Thanks Ari!). I have vaseline, an eyeliner from Estee Lauder, mascara from Rimmel, lip gloss from VS, chapstick, Lady Gaga Fame roller perfume, a compact mirror I got from Aero, hand sanitizer in Paris Amour, a medice case that has rubber bands for my hair, hair pins, band aids, hair ties, and some candies.


I forgot to take a separate picture but basically during the car ride I have my lunch box with my and my water bottle.
