Thank You

So, hi!

I know. I have not posted anything in what seemed like forever. And, you might be bored already while you're reading this fourth sentence. If you are, then what a shame for me.

First, I want to thank you for reading this. Not for the drama, just a sincere thank you. That's all.

Just as I've said, it's been a long time since I last blogged. I didn't want to delete the previous posts of mine. I wanted to see how I changed. Hopefully, into becoming a better writer/blogger.

So, yeah.

The Power of Rebond

As everybody who has read some of my blogs already, if you do, you already know that I have my hair rebonded just this June. And, just so you know, I ended up not liking the final result. It's just so plain and weird and dead-straight that I didn't even know if you can call it hair. I mean, where is the volume in that?

Well, obviously, my friends didn't think the same, at all. They thought I looked "maganda" or pretty in English. Hmm... some said they were stunned when they saw me in the first day and many people just commented on my hair. Guess that's one of the consequences of it, you'll get comments about your hair from everyone, no matter what. And yes, even boys did it. Commented on my hair, that is.

One of the major changes I take notice of is that it suits me pretty well.

Hmm... That's pretty much it!

Well, what are your thoughts on rebonded hair? :)

How to Find the Right Beauty Products for You!

I am addicted to skincare products... things that will make my skin blemish-free, acne-free, lalala... those stuff, and, of course, some lightening products as well for my damaged skin by the sun.

There are lots of ways to find the right products... Some of  them are not reliable when some of them are not.

The unreliable way is to read beauty blog posts. Yeah, you read it right. Why then? Because you don't have the same skin type, okay? Everyone is born different and so is our skin. What works for her may not work for you so stop wasting time reading on their posts because you ain't even sure if it would work just like it did to them. What they're doing, actually, is feeding their vanity. You, O reader, is encouraging them to feed their vanity. So I suggest that you stop it, okay?

The reliable way is to head to some drugstore and buy the smallest version of the product you'd like to try and see for yourself! :)

So, go ahead, don't be obsessed with the way you look because your looks can't feed you. Just be yourself, take care of your hygiene, and I'm telling you, you'll look gorgeous! :D

The Problem of Jealousy for Other Girls

Lately, my blood has been boiling over the my brain's automatic comparison between the characteristics of total strangers to that of mine. Or sometimes, I just compare everything or everyone that pops out of my head.

One thing I learned, comparing is never good. And never should've done it in the first place. The worst thing is I didn't realize I was doing it until my mood has become significantly worst over the discontentment it brought me. Why then am I not aware of it, I ask myself. Because I don't evaluate the thoughts coming from my mind and the attitude my heart has adapted from the outside influences like movies, beliefs, songs, and other people.

Now that I have recognized my emotional sickness, I may cure it the best way that I could. Thinking of it now, I think that I should probably not think bad thoughts. That's what I though of. Don't think of evil and that's it.

Well, I can't assume that it's already working but I think that the way I am now is not how I should be. And, right now, I'm not angry with myself anymore that I'd become like this because I'm just influenced and I can still fight for it.

Thinking of the reason why, in a point of our lives, we become accustomed to all the jealousy and apathy. It's because we are trained to compete. In class, there's always the valedictorian and the ordinary students. In an organization, there's always the president and the not-so-important members. In the show business, there's always the idols and the fans. No matter how the idols say, "I won't be here without you!" and acknowledge the fan's importance to them, we can't change the fact that they got the spotlight. Have you anyway thought of show business without the actors and the very important people?

I forgave myself anyway of all the getting angry with myself for being such a jerk over these days.

Things that help me to realize I'm in an okay situation after all:

1. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Models and actors are just polished creatures that we think that they are the only beautiful creatures created by God. But if you take away the sophisticated clothing, the make-up, their confidence that came from the former things, they are only just ordinary civilians and will look like your neighbor. Anyway, that was just to express a point. And my point is, even if you don't do anything to your face or your skin color, you already look beautiful! Yes, I think you are! :)
2. Beauty is not only in the outward appearance. Some celebrities have only been beautified when they perform up in stage because they need to look presentable. So what, you ask? If you really think about it, what put them in the gorgeous appearances are their talents. They're not just beautiful in the outside and empty in the inside. That would be just disappointing. Imagine if you find your favorite store and found out they don't have stock anymore.
3. I will look better in the future. Well, this is really questionable, but considering things change and appearances change, I think it will help me a lot if I will take care of mine and not obsess over it and beautify my inside as well and balance them.

This post really is long and took me a while to write this but I guess it's worth it, anyway. :)

Do you have inner beauty and outside beauty tips? 

Had my Hair Rebonded

Hi guys!

So, I just got my hair rebonded and wanted to share with you the experience it has been for a curly gal like me.

There are three adjectives I can describe it with:

1. Tiring. This process has so many steps and you will get on and out the water (your hair, at least). And the barber will iron your hair for like forever and you'll be like, "ouch, ouch". Yes, this happened to me, although I couldn't really tell him because I was so shy and hadn't have the confidence to interrupt his concentration on my hair.
2. Tedious. Unless you are a people-smart person, you will not find your long hours-stay uncomfortable. I mean, all throughout the process, you're hearing all those conversations and sometimes the barber is talking to you and sometimes he isn't. You have to keep guessing. I did and I'm sure I'm not a pretty good guesser.
3. Satisfying. All those sacrifices and hardships at the beginning will be worth it. Although I'm having a hard time washing my face because I can't get my hair wet. And I also don't have any comments yet from my friends or anyone outside my family so I don't really know how it looks on me.

I believe that if I believe straight hair looks good on me, no doubt other people will think of that also.

So... if you had your hair rebonded, is my experience like yours? :)

Getting my Hair Rebonded

Oh my! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time because I'm going to the salon later and have my hair rebonded. Actually, this is really not my idea but I just went on with it.

I know you don't know that I have curly hair. And having it has consequences so you can't blame me for doing this.

Anyway, we (my mom and I) just went to the salon last Saturday and consulted to the barber and inquired stuff and like that. We figured out that it would take, like, 10 hours for this whole process to be over.

I want to be really prepared so this is what I did in preparation:

~dressed up in comfortable blue denim jeans and an oversized black tee and put on some flip-flops
~brought my Walkman and earphones
~brought my phone
~brought a favorite book
~brought the money (Haha, can't forget that, can I?)

So, I just dropped by here and I'm going to update how it went.

I just hope the process will go successfully and that the effect may be beautiful and long-lasting.

Have you had your hair rebonded? ;)

REVIEW: Careline Lip Balm in Strawberry Flavor

Hiya, you reader who is reading this!

Just to say some gibberish, I really, really am addicted to lip balms. At quite a young age, I'm buying different kinds of lip balms in the search of the perfect lippie for me. But... how disappointing, I'm still looking for it! The search is fun, anyway, so you may want to try searching for yours too.

Anyway, to the review...

I find this lip balm above the average. Quite moisturizing but still lacking something. It is tinted so if you don't want the slightly reddish color on your lips, you don't want to try this. But if you do, this is a goood lip balm to try out!

I don't find anything extraordinary in this lip balm, though. Just some ordinary lip balm.

I think this post clearly made no sense, but I'm just posting this because I really like posting these kind of stuff. (it makes me laugh) Hahaha

XD
