It is so sudden and quite saddening to share in this space that we have lost a co-worker...</p><p>I am reminded again of how painful it is to lose a loved one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot put into words how I am feeling exactly... I wish I could but now I could not.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's past 1:00 AM already and here I am still wide awake. Though I no longer take some coffee, I still could not give up on my favorite green tea. At least it's low on caffeine, right?</p><p>This is just a random post, as always I have a loud mind. </p><p>I told myself earlier I will be sleeping "early" but here I am again breaking my own promise. I dread Mondays... T-T </p><p><br /></p><p>Will I be able to take the boards this year? IDK yet. Why am I doing this to myself? It is hard. I do not feel happy, but I am not exactly sad either. What is this again? Should I go back and ask my doctor? I cannot go back, it is just too expensive. I am more afraid of the fees than what I actually feel now.</p><p>I keep on missing a few people... I have this urge to suddenly cry but thank goodness I can mask this ugly urge. I cannot afford to lose face again just because I am not well. Very few people can and will understand my struggle. That is a sad reality in the corporate world.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am thinking of leaving all this behind.. I am very much tempted. It is very tiring. I could not even find comfort now in sleeping. I feel this heaviness around me. I am starting to hate myself again. </p><p><br /></p><p>But as always, I know these are just emotions. It needs processing and eventually acceptance. I cannot look back to things, situations, friends, and opportunities that have already passed me by. </p><p>Although I cannot stop my self from remembering the past (even just part of it), I can still choose not to let it affect my reaction to the present. </p><p>I have to face the natural consequences of my actions.

<br />
I realized I have been experiencing foot pain due to wearing flat shoes almost everyday... 6 days a week to be exact!<br />
<br />
I actually prefer flats or "doll shoes" (as most people call it here), but then they do cause me some problems when worn most of the time.<br />
<br />
Luckily, some shoes were on sale at my nearby Gaisano Grand Mall. I'm showing you what I got today:<br />

<br />
- Got this for Php229.00 only! It said to be on sale but I was not able to see the original price on the receipt...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
- I'll be honest I bought this because I really like the color, and it was on sale for only Php160.00 instead of Php199.00!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now for these two pairs to last long, I will be sending these to a shoe repair shop to be manually sewn for added durability. It would probably cost me another Php120.00 for these two.<br />

Here are some things that I am grateful for:<br />

I am thankful that I am still alive and relatively healthy for some of my family and close friends did not make it this year...<br />
<br />
I am thankful for we were spared by very strong typhoons last year...<br />
<br />
I am thankful for I have a job that allows me to earn while I take care of my family.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that even though we don't have a good place to stay in, we are still a family.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for this life!<br />

Hi, this is going to be a relatively short post (I hope) on my current favorite makeup tools, and on how I keep clean them. I hope someone will find this post helpful and/or learn a thing, or two.<br />

<br />
Now to make it clear, I am not a professional make-up artist nor a dermatologist so please don't take all my words too seriously. Please do your own research before trying out anything.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
When I was in Manila I have noticed that my skin was not in good condition. By that I mean to say I have had some huge zits and clogged pores on my forehead and nose area. My skin reacted badly to the capital's polluted air (sad truth)... I have since been home after a month of stay there and my skin has gotten better but not yet as blemish-free as before. BUT then, I forgot to take into account the fact that I have not been able to wash my brushes for about 4 months before I realizing it! No wonder I got pimples!<br />
<br />
Now, here is what I usually do to clean my brushes. I finally washed them two days ago. HAHAHA. FTR these brushes are made of synthetic material.<br />
<br />
To clean them, I normally just take my shampoo / dishwashing liquid as a brush cleaner. I use a small container or clear glass, dunk each brush (the soultion should not pass the ferrule to prevent the glue from unsticking) and swirl them on my palm for about a minute before washing off the suds with running tap water. Then, I lay the brushes flat on a plate allow them to air-dry. As simple as that.<br />
<br />
But by doing so makes the bristles dry, especially if I remember to brush them weekly. (RARE! It is more realistic to say 2x a month...) To make it less drying I add a little bit of olive oil to the shampoo / dishwashing liquid mixture. I do think this is a must if you are washing brushes with natural hair.<br />
<br />
Another way is to clean them by adding Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to the said solution. This is what I recently did, and I find that it makes washing easier than my previous solution. :-)<br />
<br />
To recap:<br />
<br />
(1) <b>Shampoo / Dishwashing + Water Solution</b><br />
Best for regular cleaning. For not-so-dirty brushes that are used for dry makeup like powders. Do this weekly.<br />
(2) <b>Shampoo / Dishwashing liquid + Water + Olive oil Solution</b><br />
Best used for washing brushes that are made of natural hair. Can be done every other day is you can or need to.<br />
(3) <b>Shampoo / Dishwashing liquid + Water + ACV Solution</b><br />
For deep cleaning your brushes and sponges especially those used for heavy makeup like cream or liquid foundations. Do this at least 2x a month!<br />
<br />
I wanted to make this post quick so I did not bother with taking pictures. Sorry about that.<br />
Let me know if any of these methods works for you. Also, if you know other ways of cleaning makeup brushes kindly share them on the comments section below.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Free Shipping & COD promo. </b>You can save on shipping fees from selected sellers. COD is limited to a few sellers but you can definitely use this if you have a good buyer rating. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Shopee Guarantee. </b>This service protects both buyers and sellers since Shopee receives and holds the payment from the buyer and then sends the payment to the seller only after the order has been received by it's buyer.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>(New) Earn Shopee Coins!</b> This is simply a rebate, BUT you can only spend these coins on Shopee's "Preferred Sellers."</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cons:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The mobile app keeps on crashing!</b> As of this writing, even if you auto-update the app, it would still crash a number of times. This is the reason why I prefer using the web version. The web version was built for sellers in mind, while the mobile app is basically built for buyers/shoppers.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Free Shipping & COD promo delivery may take some time!</b> So far the longest time it took for my orders to arrive was about six (6) days, but I have read about others who received their orders after fifteen (15) days or more! This may not be necessarily the seller's fault since the seller has plenty of time to prepare for the order (see respective shop's "Days to ship"). The volume of orders to be picked up by the courier is usually the culprit, or simply the courier's fault. If you are in a rush, or do not have patience to wait for your orders, I highly suggest paying for the shipping fee instead.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They currently do not have a way, or rather they do not to check product authenticity. As we all know, replicas / imitation / Class A products, whatever they want to call these things are everywhere and Shopee PH is no exemption!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Some Sellers Do Not Reply on Chat! </b>Yes, it is a fact! But I hope things are getting better and sellers would really find time to answer most queries from customer or potential customers.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>AS A SELLER</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Pros:</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Product listing is currently FREE! </b>You can post one item up to<i> sawa </i>(your heart's content). Kidding aside I am not sure how many at a time but they made it clear that it is free to sell on their platform.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ease of Payment.</b> <i>Buyer-Seller-Self Arrange</i> may not be the first choice for buyers since it is not under "<b>Shopee Guarantee</b>" but it is quite handy for those who have had a number of successful transactions with the seller. So to say, this payment method is only advisable to those who have trusted sellers.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Earnings are remitted to one's registered bank account.</b> But it may take some time depending on your bank, or season (?)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>FS and COD</i> promo. </b>A chance to become a successful online store, or maybe grow your business or simply gain more followers!<b> </b>Sad to say,<b> </b>this is only advantageous for some sellers... more on this later!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Regular Shopee <i>pakulos</i> or promos.</b> Some examples are Weekly sale, Current or "It" items sale, Flash Deals, etc. that you can participate in. Shopee will usually inform / ask if you want to participate in any sale campaign both via app and web.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ease of sharing one's product listing across different Social Media.</b> You can share your listing to your Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter and more!</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cons:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><b>The only issue I have had with Shopee PH so far is something to do with their FREE SHIPPING promo.</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I no longer remember when did I requested to be included in their FS promo, but I did remember I filled out a form for that. The green FS icon appeared on my listings after two (2) days, or so but there was no notification that accompanied it. Later on, I found have read somewhere on Shopee that if one of your shipping fee options is set to "0" and you have requested for the FS promo, you will automatically have the green FS icon on your product listing. I could not quote Shopee on this one since I did not read this info on their actual Help Centre or FAQs section.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, why it this a CON again? Well, to continue my story... I eventually received the notification from Shopee that I am already one of their FS sellers after about two (2) - three (3) months. I was not able to see the effects on my shop right away. I had to send an email to them asking what was that all about even after religiously following the steps written on their info-graphic, but to no avail. I then got a response saying I should wait it out after a day or two for the changes to take effect, and so I waited and the changes were put into effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All seemed to be good and I was excited to have my very first customer under their FS promo but I was eventually disappointed BIG time! <b>It turns out I should have not been included in the said promo simply because I have a provincial address and most provincial addresses are not eligible for item pick-up from the courier Black Arrow Express--or any courier under their FS promo for this matter.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I REALLY felt disappointed! I wonder who approved my request in the first place, and why did that person decided to approve my request even</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> if "I am not qualified". Tsk, tsk... They even stated that they will check on the person responsible for that..yeah, like it will do me any good. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I requested them to cancel the order for me, since I did not want to cancel it myself... I felt embarrassed since she paid for the items promptly, and she was also a first-time buyer on my shop! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shopee staff replied on my email saying they could not do it themselves (cancel the order on my behalf), so I was left with no choice but to try to contact the buyer myself first and explain why I have to cancel her order. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT again, to my dismay more than four (4) of my chat messages were not sent to the said buyer! WTF. At this point, I was already angry but I not send Shopee an email anymore. I was already tired of emailing complaints. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I waited for about a day or two to pass and see if I can already contact the buyer BUT STILL TO NO AVAIL. My chat messages cannot get through her... IDKW. I tried searching for her profile and "send chat" but still I had the same outcome. I also tried adding a "note" to the order details, so she can see the update, but I was also UNABLE to edit the note. It kept on saying I went past the number of characters allowed even when if it was a very short message already! At that point, I lost my motivation so I had simply hit the "cancel (order)" button. :'-( It was also weird to note that I did not receive any message from the buyer, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was NOT THE END OF MY BAD LUCK on Shopee at that time though!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the same day, one of my product listings (APRILSKIN Fixing Lip Tint) was BANNED for the (lame) reason that I used pictures from the manufacturer's own website! I was beginning to think I am being pranked by one of Shopee's staff! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHO DOESN'T USE PHOTOS from the manufacturer?! Just WTF! T-T Good thing I was able to put the listing back.. I learned it is very easy to report a product listing or user if anyone really wants to ruin a person's day on Shopee. Grrrr... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I WAS SO TEMPTED TO FIGHT BACK and/or seeks vengeance by doing the same thing on Shopee marketplace, but NO I DID NOT! It is even more tempting to do so since SG or fake cosmetics abound the place already! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHY CAN'T THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE INSTEAD!!! To emphasize my point, I quote from their </span><a href="http://shopee.ph/communityRules/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Community Rules</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I initially thought it is expensive for such a small jar, but after trying it out my thoughts have changed. You get what you pay for, <i>ika nga</i>. It does what it claims to be which is an all-purpose skin cream. It is definitely moisturizing because it effectively managed my super dry skin on my left elbow. I have tried using a lotion claiming to be ultra-hydrating but it did nothing to it! I also used petroleum jelly and even though it did lessen the roughness, nothing was as good as this rescue balm. I noticed a great improvement (smoothness on my elbow) after only 2-3 applications. Now, I even use it on my lips as a lip balm too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I came here in Manila, I got a number of blemishes such as pimple (due to air pollution) and mosquito bites and sure thing this has become my go-to rescue balm. I am in love with it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am rediscovering HHN's products, and I am happy I got to try this one out. I am also delighted that it is available in a bigger size since mine is already running out. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I initially dislike the tea tree scent though. It seems overpowering at first but as I go on using it is became manageable because of the lavender scent. I think the lavender scent balances it out. In addition, it makes me feel relaxed and fall asleep easier when I apply this before bedtime. Is this also due to the lavender scent? I have read somewhere that this scent is calming, so it is a very welcome benefit. :-)</span></div>

Of course, it's not near perfect but you just have to be familiar with their services first before buying/selling. It doesn't hurt to ask (customer support is good).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Main downside is that the FS and COD promo delivery takes a long time... maybe due to the volume of orders and the courier itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Research first o #checkmomuna </div>

Hahaha. (Laughing at my own Nido commercial reference.)</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
Last week I ran out of my sugar wax and decided to research on how to make my own.<br />
There are a ton of recipes that you can find on the web or YouTube, but I think this 3-ingredient sugaring wax recipe from Top Knot is very easy to make. I won't promise that this will work for everyone, but in my case I am happy with it because it really works for me. I only tried making this once and it turned out very well! It is said that the ancient Egyptians are the first to use this sugaring method for hair removal.<br />

<br />
This recipe is inspired by Top Knot's video <a href="https://www.facebook.com/buzzfeedtopknot/videos/958333327572718/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A saucepan</li>
<li>Stirrer or spatula</li>
</ul>
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 cup of sugar (white or brown, I used brown)</li>
<li>1/4 cup lemon or lime juice</li>
<li>1/4 cup water</li>
</ul>
<div>
Directions:</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Prepare all the materials and/or ingredients.</li>
<li>Cut the lemon(s) or lime(s) for juice extraction.</li>
<li>Strain the lemon/lime juice.</li>
<li>Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan.</li>
<li>Boil for at least 7 minutes in medium heat.</li>
<li>Check the consistency. If it's according to your liking stop, but if not you can boil it up to 17-20 minutes. (I initially stopped boiling mine at 7 minutes, and then I decided to boil it again for 10 minutes for a total of 17 minutes to my desired consistency.)</li>
<li>Please wait for it to cool down before using it to avoid burning yourself.</li>
</ol>

<i>P.S.: If you watched Top Knot's video, you will realize that it take less time to make their wax than my version. Their version is also more spreadable than mine. Aside from that, I used Philippine lime juice instead of lemon juice.</i></div>

Try it out! It's fun making your own sugar wax and it's also much cheaper.</div>

In another note, I also ran out of my aloe vera gel so I tried making my own based from this <a href="https://youtu.be/P1bBKH924Rc">video's</a> recipe. I realized now that it also only needs 3 ingredients to make! Check out the video if you want to make your own. I still love Strip It!'s aloe vera gel though...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I received three white roses and a small teddy bear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently this is for no special reason... I don't even know what to think about the message written on the card. Sigh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I really like them. Who doesn't like roses or flowers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently keeping them on our dining table and hoping they will not wilt too soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are so fragrant that I just can't help wishing I can have them all-year-round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But to be honest... I wasn't really surprised because I knew he ordered some flowers online.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny. Of course I did not tell him I knew about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's thoughtful of him to send these...though it would have been way better if it was fitting a special occasion. Which reminds me of our anniversary... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I can't help to remember last V-day when he asked if I got his flowers and I was like "What flowers?!" Haha. Disappointing. So it was the same company that he tried last year and he said he was happy "it worked." Like he was expecting that the flowers won't arrive again. Haha. Can't blame him though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, yeah. For me these are already expensive flowers and the thought is what should count, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IDK. I think I'll stop here... again, thank you Mr. E for the flowers, etc.</div>

I checked the website and I think this is what I was sent:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and the teddy bear was just an additional item that you can add when you check out your order on their website. The bear is pictured below from a a special bouquet that they offer. It cost 2K pesos plus!!! Freaking expensive. Haha. But it's so cute and...oh, stop! Haha. I think the chocolates is what really got me... Nah, it just looks so perfect to me because of the old-fashion but definitely romantic combination of these three. Besides I love red roses! I think I should buy one for my self! :D</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the end of this year, my son is going to be five years old. Oh, how time flies! I can still remember the first time I held him. I fell in love with him in an instant. Now, he's grown so much. Of course, the same thing happened to me when I had my baby girl. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My boy's going to start schooling this June, so I'm going to be busier too... I'm thinking of shopping for new things like clothes and school supplies. I initially thought that he's not going to be using/needing much, but when I examined his things I realized he already outgrew many of his clothes. Same thing with my baby girl of course. T.T </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They're growing up fast!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I am in the process of updating their wardrobe, I'll be sharing to you some of the shops that I've tried, and also some that I've recently been interested with.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a fan of online shopping (and of course window shopping), I did a couple clicks on the web to look for affordable items for my kids, too.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Offline Stores</b> (Calbayog Area)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <b>SUIM Apparel Store. </b>Home of very affordable clothes for kids and adults. I already bought a number of items here and I must say they're definitely for people who are in a budget but still wants to look fashionable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Another option of course are muslim-owned stores such as at the corner of UCPB (bank). I will update the name of this shop later. I remember buying here a pair of flats and sandals. Mom also likes their shoes and they're priced reasonably, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b>Five Star Commercial. </b>I used to come to their old store with my mom to buy small appliances. They were also known for selling pieces of jewelry like gold. Now they offer a variety of products in their new store. They added a number of products like a selection of bags, school supplies, toys, and apparel for both kids and adults. They also offer a lot of other accessories, beauty supplies as well as home improvement items. I like buying clothes from them because they're affordable, but my only concern is that the designs can be far from unique at times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. <b>GV 99 Shop.</b> If you only have a 100 pesos to spare, maybe you can visit this shop. For sure you can find a piece, or two that you might like. For me, I like buying cardigans and cover-ups from them, though they offer only few designs or colors. They also have clothes and slippers for kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. <b>SnP Gift Shop</b> (if I'm not mistaken). Mom introduced me to this shop last year. They offer a number of things from accessories, toys, apparel and beauty supplies. I bought some toys and clothes here before. I find that the items are in good quality but some of them are a bit pricier compared to other shops in the city. I bought a set of clothes for my baby girl here for about 200 pesos , three months ago. The quality is good because it was made of cotton. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. <b>Gemma's Fashion Store. </b>They are going to open a new store near Metrobank. I am quite excited to see their new branch. It looks so spacious. The new building is already full with merchandise though it's not yet open. Mom and I used to go to their old store when I was younger to buy slippers and clothes. Some items were cheap but some aren't so. I'll definitely check them again at their new place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. <b>NVJS Fashion House (or simply NOVO). </b>Sells a variety of items like small kitchen tools and supplies, stationery items, home-improvement products, accessories, children's toys, small pieces of furniture, clothes and many other things! >.< I shop here for at least once a month. I've just noticed it now. LOL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. <b>Vida's Mar. </b>I'm not sure if this is the first Korean-owned store here. I've heard from some people that it's Korean, but I'm not so sure. They also have a wholesale store which is called <b>Wenzhuan </b>(which sounds more Chinese to me though). VM's very similar to NOVO, but it seems they offer the same products in a slightly different price point. I think VM offers more products compared to NVJS. I also noticed that they have more apparel/fashion items than them.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course there are many other shops in my city, but I can only say something about these shops because I've had transactions with them.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another option, especially for house clothes is buying from <b>secondhand or thrift stores</b>. We have a number of these here too, but I don't like most of them. F</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or the price, t</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">he quality (obviously used/worned out) is not reasonable. Well, at least for me. Hah! Say, for a used baby top they'll ask you for a minimum of 50 pesos, when in fact it should just be around 20-30 pesos. I've been thrift shopping previously in Tacloban City, and I must say they offer way more reasonably-priced items.</span></div>
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <b>Eazyfashion</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have an FB account and you're into online shopping, I'm pretty sure you've seen this shop on your newsfeed before. They initially offered only accessories, but now they have so many more.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a number of accessories and a few clothes here before and based from the quality of these products and how fast they ship the items, they are really worth it. If you don't mind buying mall priced-like items, this is for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also like LE because they used to offer a couple of kids' items like busha pants. I bought two of these about two years ago. Now, these pants are quite small for my babies already. When I checked back they don't have them anymore. They only offer the short pants version currently. T-T It seems that they're now more focused on selling apparel mostly for women.</span></div>

<i><b>Silot</b> </i>- a Waray-Waray word which refers to the young fruit of the coconut palm tree. It also refers to a popular drink that is derived from the said fruit.</div>

<i>Manilot</i> - a Waray-Waray term which means picking young coconut fruits.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although in Tagalog the term "Buko Juice" is widely used to refer to coconut water this particular version that I'm about to share doesn't have a special name. This is actually a drink made from coconut water and We simply call it here as "Silot."</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I will show you how we prepare our <i>Silot</i>. Traditionally, people here enjoy coconut water by simply drinking it straight from the fruit. My mom prefers it this way and I think it's actually the most refreshing way to have it (when you're in a tropical country like ours).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not so sure if it's the same way with others though. Most of the time, we prepare ours like what I'm about to show you. We do this when we have picked a lot of young coconuts. If they're only few, we drink them straight from the fruit itself. How refreshing! This is definitely perfect for this hot and dry season. This recipe is good for 4-6 people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What you'll need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2 young coconuts with coconut water</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1 pitcher </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1 pack of soda crackers</b> (I prefer using SkyFlakes brand but it wasn't available that time so I used Rebisco instead)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sugar for added taste</b> (you can skip this of course)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Milk</b> (I used powdered milk for it's readily available. You can use evaporated milk but skip adding sugar if you'll use this kind of milk 'cos this is already sweet)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Crushed ice</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A<b> coconut meat scraper</b> (which looks like <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2783726977_ab83c9e1af.jpg">this</a>.) We don't have one available, so I simply scrape it off using a spoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A<b> laddle </b>for mixing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought my coconuts from a local peddler for Php15.00 apiece. I think it was cheap though mom thinks it's not because we do have some coconut trees at my mom's hometown. But it's a more than 2 hours commute from here so...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually the peddler will open the coconut(s) for you. so you can drink from it right away using a straw. They will also ask you if you want them to crack it open in half, or you can ask them to do it for you if they did not bother asking about this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, preparing this is very easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Prepare all ingredients and tools that you'll be needing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Pour all of the coconut water to a pitcher. Set aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Work on scraping the coconut meat using a scraper. Set aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Now with the coconut water in the pitcher, add the sugar (optional), milk and ice. Make sure the it's now overflowing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Lastly, add the soda cracker. You can crush it before adding it into the mixture but it easily softens, so you don't really have to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Serve and enjoy!</span></div>
<br />

Note: <b>Banana Boat</b> is true to it's color (lemonade yellow?). But it does appear a bit brighter in pictures sometimes even neon-y. You definitely need 2-3 coats of this to achieve an even color. The only problem I have is that the one I bought had a bad brush. Well, not that bad. I just had to trim excess hairs from the brush. I find that it takes a bit longer to dry if you put more than one coat (of course) so there's a need to use a fast-drying top coat, if you're like me who wants the polish to dry FAST! <b>Disco Ball</b> is a two-colored (pink and green) chunky confetti-like top coat. It's pretty most especially during daytime (when sunlight reflects light on these little things). It also has micro glitters which are barely visible on my pics here, but you can definitely see them in real life. The <b>Matte Potion</b> allows you to transform any polish into a matte one in no time! :)</div>

UPDATE: 05.11.15<br />
My nail polish started "cracking" two days ago. So expect for a need to renew your manicure after 5 days after applying this one. I first applied this on May 4. Basically, this polish (Banana Boat) will last for less than a week.<br />

The other day my mom visited a close friend who happens to have a number of plants in her garden. My mom has a green thumb so naturally she brought some plants with her. It was fitting for the occasion because it so happened to be Earth Day!</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
She re-potted the plants yesterday and I was happy to note that we now have an Aloe Vera plant! Hahaha. Well, I'm a big fan of Aloe so for me it was such as nice treat. I actually did ask mom to bring one few months ago, and now we have three! :-D </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
They say it's better to plant at least one plant (or better yet a tree) on this day to show support. Of course, there are other ways that you can contribute to the cause. You can check <a href="http://www.earthday.org/">Earth Day Network</a> for information. </div>
</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to write this entry because I found something really easy to do to show one's support if you're in the PH. That is, by donating your e-load! How simple is that? It's definitely one of the easiest (if not the simplest) way to show support.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.) Go to <a href="http://www.earthdayphilippines.org/">EARTH DAY NETWORK PHILIPPINES</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2.) Next, look for the "DONATE YOUR LOAD" section/picture on the right side of the webpage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3.) And then, just simply follow the instructions there.</span></div>

It's me again! This time I'll be reviewing this face mask from Daiso (or Saizen here in PH). I am sure most of you (if not all) know what Daiso is. But just in case you don't know what it is, well it's a variety store that sells mostly cute, quirky and reasonably-priced stuff if not totally cheap! Here, most items are priced from Php85.00 - Php88.00. If you want to know more about Daiso just click <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daiso">here</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, onto my experience and thoughts about this product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a typical moisture-filled mask as stated on it's packaging. When I took it out of it's pack, it wasn't dripping so I guess it's a good thing. LOL. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the back, you will see some instructions on how to use it (English instructions are provided).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've let this sit on my face for 15 minutes max. It says 5-15 minutes but I really felt like extending it up to 30 mins! LOL. DON'T DO THAT of course, because if you do this <i><u>the mask will reabsorb the moisture from your skin</u></i>. <b>Reverse osmosis</b>, right? </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, as you can see from the above pic, this mask is a bit big for my face.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also find that the pack still has some essence after taking out the mask itself, so I just use the remaining essence for my neck, hands, etc. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest, I don't usually use face mask regularly. It's not that popular in my area and also these types of masks are not easy to find. Of course you can buy these online.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, for my <b>overall rating: 4/5</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me explain why. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's very moisturizing but it kind of felt like I'm putting some kind of light slime or mucous on my skin. Does this makes sense? Hehe, I guess that's because of the Hyaluronic acid in it, right? It doesn't really feel <i>that</i> sticky but if you're not used to that feeling, you will not enjoy this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day, or following morning ('cos I use masks before bedtime), I felt that my skin is well moisturized or smooth to touch but still has that slight stickiness so I definitely have to wash my face after getting up.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanna know more about Hyaluronic acid? Check this link <a href="http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1062-hyaluronic%20acid.aspx?activeingredientid=1062&activeingredientname=hyaluronic%20acid">here</a>.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Do you recommend this?</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I recommend this to those who have normal to dry skin, but of course (and as always) do a skin test first before trying this out.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In response to the news that there's a coming typhoon, I went straight to one of our local grocery stores and bought a few food items.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I came across these fresh/wet noodles and instantly wanted to cook something.... well, I did try today and it didn't taste so bad. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm going to write the recipe so I won't forget next time. To be honest, I did not have a concrete recipe when I was preparing this. I did searched online for basic techniques and the ingredients that I can find locally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know what I should call this one but probably something like "DIY Emergency Ramen." Yeah it's lame but, whatever. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 packs of 1st Choice Fresh Japanese Ramen (miki/ classic), I used the red ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ngosiokmarketing.com/assets/uploads/IMG_1091_small.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://www.ngosiokmarketing.com/assets/uploads/IMG_1091_small.png" height="320" width="283" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can spicy sardines, I think I used the one below</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61KNCU%2BVieL._SY606_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61KNCU%2BVieL._SY606_.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 medium-sized red or white onion, sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 clove of garlic, sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 stalks of green onion or scallions, sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 small ginger, diced or sliced very thinly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 chicken broth cubes/ bouillon cube (you can use chicken stock too)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sesame oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
salt to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pepper to taste (but I forgot to add this)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Lightly sautee or fry the ginger, garlic and onion in sesame oil. Don't let it burn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. In another pot, heat 5-6 cups of water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. When the water is near boiling point, add the chicken cube and stir.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Next, add the sauteed ingredients in step 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Now, add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Add the sardines. Stir lightly and season to taste (with salt, pepper, or with any seasoning mix of your choice.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Add the green onions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Serve while still warm and enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Questions?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Why did you use sardines instead of chicken meat coz you actually used a chicken broth cube?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Well, mom said that it's Lenten season and we're not yet allowed to have meat. Basically, we have fish every Holy Week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Why did you fried some ingredients when it's also not allowed during this day?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: WTF! lol...I can't help it and I don't see the point of not frying it... waaah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading! :) Happy Lent!</div>

<br />
Hmmm as you can see he's not into wrapping things... oh well. Hehe. He used a shoe-box and a plastic shopping bag to hold everything.<br />
<br />
Onto what was inside...<br />
<br />
He sent me a <b>black leather sling bag</b> which was a actually his Xmas present from a coworker during their <i>Manito-manita</i> or Xmas party. Lol. He did not like it so he gave it to me. No worries since I like the bag. (I'll consider this bag as a gift.) Next, an <b>A4tech optical mouse</b> which was supposedly a USB-type one, but he said the first one got broken, so he bought this one instead. (This is not considered as a gift since I asked him to buy this one for me. Haha.) Third one is <b>Nutella</b>! Yummm! Not surprisingly, it did not even last for a week. Now as a real gift to me, he sent me a <b>Samsung Galaxy Note 8</b> (with a complementary red case) instead of a smartphone... he initially asked me to choose between Asus Zenfone 5 or Cherry Mobile Flare 3 and I said I like Zenfon 5 better, but.... okay, a gift is a gift. Lol. He also sent a tube of <b>aloe vera gel from Banana Boat</b> which I also asked him to buy for me. It's hard to find an aloe vera gel in a tube in my area. The rest of the items are some <u>extra pens/stationery items</u> that he accumulated. There's an <b>EGS planner</b>, a customized minutes <b>notepad</b> from his boss(?), <b>coloring books </b>for Kian and <b>a pack of crayons </b>(which of course got broken the instant Cynthia got hold of them...).<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Well, I did expect more food though..hahaha. </b></span><br />
<br />
Thank you EV and also Kuya Emman for sending the package to Grandtours.<br />
<br />
*But why is Xmas Day always rainy here?!*<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a reference, my skin type is <u>normal to dry</u>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<b>First Impression</b>: It <u>stings</u>! I felt a little bit uncomfortable when I first use this toner on my face. But on my succeeding use it doesn't sting anymore. It is somewhat <u>drying</u> on the skin too, maybe because it has alcohol in it. Now, this sounds bad because I have normal to dry skin type right? Yeah, but for me it's okay since I really want to rub off those excess oils and I only use this when I have makeup on and my skin looks greasy. Aside from that, I always put on a moisturizer after using this. (Based on my <a href="http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/skin-toner.htm">research</a> this toner is an astringent-type. Astringents contain alcohol. Now, that's the reason why it stings and drying on the skin!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<b>Results</b>: I don't think it whitened my face but rather it <u>brighten</u>ed it. I also do not get any breakout when I am using this so it's good, b<u>ut I am aware that there are some bloggers/reviews online that says this toner gave them breakouts!</u> </span><br />

<br />
Hello! Here are some of the stuff I bought a few months ago... I initially wanted to post a July-August haulage but I don't know, I kind of just forgot about this blogging thing-y. I wanted to keep this blog updated especially in terms of recording the things I buy because it's also somehow therapeutic to me. What?! Haha. Yeah, right. I just don't know what to exactly share but I really want to document whatever stuff I am buying so I can compare them in terms of their price, quality/ effectiveness or like that. Whatever. Hehe. Anyway, here are some of the things that I bought last August-September or so (can't remember exactly). I say some because I can't always snap a picture of whatever I buy...my siblings and mom finds it weird for me to take pictures of almost anything other than taking "ID" pictures or just plain selfies. LOL.<br />
<br />
Okay, so just a warning this is definitely a photo dump!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's the holiday season again and we all know it's synonymous with the word SHOPPING, right? ;-) A lot of us are excited to shop for Christmas gifts this time of the year. But for me, I think it's the right time to shop for any items that are perfect gifts for any occasions. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, going back a few months ago I wasn't able to gift anything to my special someone, so I have been searching online for some items that he may like and well, I was not disappointed. Here are some of the items I found online:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This looks really cool with it's color combination but I don't like its price tag! haha. ;-p I looked for some cheaper alternatives/ dupes but I couldn't find something really similar with this one. The color combination may be too common but this will certainly brighten up a dull outfit.</span></span></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br />
I went to a drugstore and remembered to ask the pharmacist about rose hip oil. She told me that they only have this brand. I got curious if it's true that this oil can help lighten/remove scars. My babies just had some skin blemishes from an infection last month, so I was hoping these scars will fade with this oil. Well, here's a picture of the product:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Kp_zBxXnsWg/VFmtmloWRBI/AAAAAAAACeg/fjl0LSc9v9A/s2560/1415163394946.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Kp_zBxXnsWg/VFmtmloWRBI/AAAAAAAACeg/fjl0LSc9v9A/s640/1415163394946.jpeg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a><br />

<br />
As you can see, it's a very small bottle with only 5ml of product. This costs Php 297.00 at Mercury Drugstore! I thought this was a good buy but when I searched online for some alternatives, I found out it was kind of expensive. Well, at least I bought if from a trusted drugstore. <br />
<br />
Anyway, the packaging is okay. It comes in a glass pump/spray bottle. You can keep the bottle if you like which I think is perfect for traveling.<br />
<br />
I bought my first bottle last October 28 and I bought my second one last November 3. A bottle only lasts for about 5 days with us, because not only that I use this for my kids' scars, but I also use this on my own face and pits! LOL.<br />
<br />
I just found out that it's also a very good facial oil! 1-2 pumps of this oil is enough for my entire face and neck. The following morning my skin feels really soft and smooth. For the armpits, I also use 1-2 pumps for each side every time I wax them. Just Google rose hip oil's benefit on the skin and I bet you will be curious as well. <br />
<br />
BTW, here is what's on the packaging:<br />
<i>"Reduces wrinkles and signs of premature ageing. Helps to counter the drying effects of the sun which are usually first noticed in fine wrinkle lines. Improves surgical and accidental scars, restores normal skin color (reduces redness or hyper pigmentation). It also avoids the formation of scars (lump) which may appear after surgical procedures and helps to make less apparent old scars left by acne or chickenpox.</i><br />
Precautions: Store at room temperature and keep out of reach of children.<br />
Directions: Spray a small amount onto the trouble spots on your skin. Massage the oil into the affected area with your fingertips until it is completely absorbed.<br />
Use rose hip oil twice a day everyday for about three months for best results.<br />

<br />
<b>Q: Do you like and would also recommend this product? </b><br />
A: I do like this product and rose hip oil in general, but I think this brand is too pricey for my budget.. so I only recommend this to those who want to try out rose hip oil for the first time, and for those who can afford it. I actually found a cheaper one online, so I think I'll try that one first and see if it works well, too. <br />
<br />
That's all. Thanks for checking this out! :-)<br />
