Little Updates & Giveaway Winner
Hello hello! Before we rush on to find out who the giveaway winner is, I just want to say a quick thanks to everyone who joined. I wish I could send you all a gift for participating, but since I don’t have that kind of moneyz YET (let’s pray that I will someday! :D), here’s the lucky winner of YSB’s Victoria’s Secret gift set.
Congratulations Jhonalyn R. for winning the giveaway! Thank you so much for joining and I hope you like your Victoria’s Secret goodies :)
See you all on my next giveaway this coming May. My blog is turning one year old soon and I’d like to invite you to celebrate it with me by joining the giveaway. It’s going to be open internationally so everyone who wants to join can enter.
I haven’t updated my blog in awhile, the reasons for that are quite personal but to sum it all up — my depression kicked in, and this time it was harder to overcome than usual. I also caught a flu and a SERIOUS CASE OF PMS (I cried when my dog Bentley ignored my call, yes it was cray cray level serious lol), which all together confined me to bed — with the company of Merlin, King Arthur, and the hot hot knights of the round table. Nope not a hallucination, just a good ol’ TV Show called Merlin :) PS : to Vanessa a.k.a. the blush queen, thanks for the reco!
If like me, you like fantasy stories, or if you also enjoy the show Once Upon A Time then most likely you will like Merlin too. Watch it :) But I have to warn you, it has the worst series finale EVER. I won’t give out any spoilers in case you want to check it out, but seriously Merlin writers, YUDOTHATTOMERLIN?
Anyway belated Happy Easter to you! I hope you haven’t forgotten about my blog :)

Ahh now I know. Kaya pala di ko na nakikita post mo sa dashboard ko Shayne :)
I thought you moved your blog or changed your site's address. I feel you sis. There are also times na pag depress ako, I don't want to do anything even the things I used to love doig (like blogging). Anyway, I hope you are feeling great now Shayne! Cheer up, if life's putting you down just think of the wonderful girly things around hehehe <3
love lots,
Tin

Hey you're back! Okay, I may just check our Merlin since I absolutely luuuuurrrve Once Upon A Time
Oh :< I didn't know you were this sad...I wish you all the best, please get better soon <3
Tv shows and movies are always good when we are sad. I always like to watch Alice in Wonderland whenever I'm feeling down or I doubt myself.
Take care <3
(if you need to talk about something or someone to talk with, sent me an e-mail :3 I'll be more than glad to talk. <3 )
I hope you doing better my beautiful friend glad you back. Congrats to the winner. I have family that get in a depression mold not wanting to see the world so I do understand.

I missed you Shayne! And im definitely checkin Merlin out. I ran out of series to watch recently. Hope you got over your depression stage na. Sometimes i feel that way too, but most of the time im just busy or too lazy to update my blog. :D
I hope you are okay now and congrats to the winner. I like once upon a time…merlin? I guess soon
Awww I hope you're feeling better Shayne! :) We're obviously not gonna forget your blog no matter how long you take with your posts! Though I kept waiting for an update from you for (what felt like) so long :P Haha! But it's okay because personal well-being always comes first.
Anyway I can't wait to hear about your next giveaway! My blog is also turning 1 soon and I have no idea what to do about it hahaha.
Get well soon! <3
I can totally understand where you're coming from, especially if your dog won't even respond to you! Frustrating! At any rate, I sincerely hope you're feeling much better. It shall pass. :)
I'm happy to see you're back, Shayne! I know exactly how you feel (regarding the depression) and I agree it's really hard to overcome. I hope you have a great support system and/or enough medication. If you need a sympathetic ear, shoot me a message! :hugs:
OH GOOD, YOU'RE BACK. I was going to send out a passive aggressive email later today reminding you to blog BUT YOU'RE BACK ;)
We've all been in a depression slump, but glad you've motivated yourself to publish a post!
RIGHT? RIGHT? ONE OF THE WORST SERIES FINALES BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST TV SHOW I CRIED AT IT'S NOT EVEN FAIR ;-; (But man, did you finish the series fast ._.) But I mean, the series finale could've been worse–it could have been HIMYM bad
love this post girl! i love glitter! x
I do hope you are feeling better now. Depressions are horrible! I´ve been close to that afew times, but managed to escape. I have known people who sank into depression and it's not pretty. I really hope you do feel better now and I'm glad to find out that you like Merlin!!!!! I miss that TV show so much and I never saw the finale… but now i do have to try and find a way to watch it!!!!
Lot's of kisses and taka care.

Get well Shayne. :)
Hi Shayne! I hope you're feeling better now. :)
I'm also on a blog hiatus, sort of. And oh, I love Once Upon a Time! I've been meaning to watch Merlin ever since but it's really hard to squeeze in a new show in my long to-watch list. :|
Such lovely pictures! I'm glad to see that your back! Depression really sucks :/ I've had my moments and my blog really helped me. It helped me get my mind off things. I'm sending positive vibes to you! <3
Happy Easter :) xx

I like once upon a time! Maybe I'll watch Merlin too. :D I'm currently obsessed with Elementary. Not totally obsessed compared to Sherlock. It's kind of a CSI show. :D But Sherlock Holmes. :D :D
I hope you are now totally ok. Stay strong and happy. :)
Shayne!:) You gorgeous thing, don't be depressed:( I hope you're okay! I don't know how serious yours is but I really hope you're okay:) You're beautiful when you smile! my bestfriend needed to have pills taken before during a small phase in her life and it was painful to know that it happened. She's happy and healthy now:)
AHAHA, PMS is a pain in the arse. Whenever I can't pinpoint or know why I'm pissed off or moody, I know I'm going through pms. HAHAHA.
OMG! I LOVE ONCE UPON A TIME! & I used to watch a bit of Merlin long time before:D I rmb liking it:D I was so depressed when there will be no season 2 for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. I was so sad that it ended. I was really loving the storyline halfway through. At first, it was okay, nothing too impressive and it didn't compare to Once Upon a Time, but halfway through, omg, it got so good, I couldn't stop. AHAHA, Happy Easter Shayne:) I hope you're always in lifted spirits:D If I was there, I'll deliver Ice cream and we can watch once upon a time together xD HAHAHA, Happy advanced bloggaversary: & Congrats to the winner:)

Welcome back! Blogging should never be something you're forced to do. So if you need time take your time =) I hope you're feeling better now and won't relapse anytime soon! :-)
Depression + PMS must be really tough to combat! But I know you'll be better than ever soon :) Congrats to Jhonalyn and I look forward to your May giveaway. That sparkly egg looks so cool and I'll have to check out Merlin!
just found your blog and glad you are doing much better.
Just so you'd know, I'm on an antidepressant. It really helps a lot especially if you find the right dose for you. I also started doing yoga and it also helps me relax. I hope you are feeling better now dear. ♡ ♡ ♡
And btw, I haven't really been absent in the blogosphere. I just switched blogs and am now on wordpress. I just wanted to start anew and leave the memories of my old blog behind. I do hope this new blog will last longer though. Thanks a lot for keeping in touch with me via IG. Take care dear! ♡
ohh love the glitter here, and I'm sorry to hear what you are going through right now. I hope you get the things you need for it, and hope that things will be better soon! depression is horrible :(
Lovely pictures dear. Loved your blog and posts :-)

Glad you're back!!! and super glad you are feeling better!!! Can't wait to see what new posts you have in the works, you know they are always a daily distraction for me!
Hi! Discovered your blog through Hazel's feature. I love OUAT too. I might checkout Merlin :)
<3
UGH, RIGHT??? SO YOUNG. ;-;
Yeah, they're releasing the alternate version on DVD and people's comments were like, #how i made you buy the series (LOOOOOOL) Ugh, I can't wait to see it nontheless. Make sure you watch the fanmade finale(s) too, because some of them are amazing. BETTER THAN THE ORIG ENDING.
So does the egg symbolize you being reborn? Hehehe just kidding! So sad to hear about your personal woes. You know, blogging can be therapeutic, but sometimes it can be a big burden, too. Don't force it and just do what you need :)
Shayne!!! Glad you're back na din! I hope everything's better now. :)
hahaha!! i skipped some ep and watched the last one and omg HIMYM beats Merlin in having the worst series finale EVER. lol okay ill check the fanmade ones :D
thanks emae!! :)
