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:
Do you have inner beauty and outside beauty tips?

Things that help me to realize I'm in an okay situation after all:
- 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! :)
- 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.
- 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.
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:
So... if you had your hair rebonded, is my experience like yours? :)
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

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

REVIEW: Experiencing Kojie-san Soap
Hmmm... I guess the title's pretty dramatic. Oh well, might as well have a title than none. :D
Anyway, to the review, I really find Kojie-san quite okay for its price. I mean, sometimes you can be tricked because it's saying 50% off on the next soap but they didn't say you get both soaps in less grams that's why you really get less.
You might actually want to compute on that.
As I was saying, I find the quality of this soap mediocre because I didn't really experience any change will using this soap nor do I get compliments like others did when they use this one.
But I guess it's really up to the user or how the soap is compatible with one's skin. We don't really have the same skin type so you have to keep on looking for the right soap that matches yours! Oh yeah!
As for me, I have to get looking for my destined soap in that ocean of soaps in the market waiting to be bought. Warning. once you do, you might actually regret it. But, hey, it's better than not getting hygienic and all.
If ever you are wondering what effects I was looking for in my skin, I was looking for the whitening effect. You know how in the eastern part of the world, we seek that porcelain skin and we're just brainwashed here that having pale white skin is the most beautiful of them all. I can't really blame it on the Koreans because even Snow White,being "the fairest of them all", contributed to the thinking.
I do know I was being brainwashed but I can't just help it! Though I do find my brown skin quite adorable. So why do I seek for whitening, you say? Because I got tan! I don't want to be discolored like some old pair of jeans thrown away in the garbage. I don't want to look like trash because I have different shades of brown all over my body.
Enough for the explaining...
I also find this soap only making my skin drier and losing its moisture. Beware of using kojic acid-based soaps because they tend to wash off the moisture off your skin that you feel you just aged away in those minutes you took a bath.
In case you want to use this soap, I recommend you lather on some extra-moisturizing lotion afterwards
Don't judge me because I am not satisfied with this soap. I know how to make soap so don't judge me, 'kay? It was our Science project last year. Anyway, overall, I find this soap just okay.
Rating: 2/10

Why Curly-haired Gals Need to Exert Twice the Effort
So, this is my second post this evening and I really congratulate myself for making this.
I mean, SECOND POST?! Wow! I must be awarded!
Anyway, away from being O.A., I want to write about the experience of having curly hair all my life... and how I consider myself both lucky and unlucky at the same time.
I consider myself lucky because...
I guess this is it then... Hope you empathized with me through out this blog post!
Leave comments if you read this, it'd mean big to me! :D

Anyway, away from being O.A., I want to write about the experience of having curly hair all my life... and how I consider myself both lucky and unlucky at the same time.
I consider myself lucky because...
- Curly hair is unique. You know, the same old I want to be unique and stand out from the crowd attitude. Everybody wants to be different from each other even though they already are! Although I must admit having curly hair is extraordinary... Really, I believe that.
- Curly hair changes. Do not wash your hair and it will make a difference. Comb your hair and it will make a difference. Put your head in a towel and it will make a difference. Everything you do affects the way your locks will behave. (which is pretty challenging...)
- Curly hair is unexpected. As it is often the case with different sets of outfits, so it is with curly hair. Even though you didn't get your hair done in a salon or cut or under a treatment, it changes- might go from ultra-fabulous to looks like some chicken scrawled at my head while I was walking to here.
- I feel so limited. Having curly hair mean you can't get a short hair cut. Nor can you put just normal elastic bands since it will make your hair look tattered. It feels like I have a celebrity hair and its stuck with my other parts of my body a commoner. Feels so sad having only one part of me actually belong in a different world... (kind of dramatic, ain't it?)
- I feel so tired. Take care of your hair or tie it up in a high bun just so people can't notice you haven't combed it for days. I did this, anyway, during summer vacation. Which is groosss, but I did it anyway.
- I feel so haggard. Just running would make my hair look like that of a lion. It's crazy and I'm crazy and then my hair would make me look like I really am a crazy person with no stable mind. I'd like to think that I am crazy but I don't want other people to think that. So... yeah.
I guess this is it then... Hope you empathized with me through out this blog post!
Leave comments if you read this, it'd mean big to me! :D
REVIEW: SkinWhite Face Cream Powder
Hi everyone!
I've been really quiet lately since I was thinking really hard whether or not to continue making reviews without pictures. And, seeing this post, you may know already what my decision is.
Although this is going to be really hard since we, humans, (including me... didn't I just say "we"?) are visual creatures. We yearn for thing to see and to observe and to make conclusions from.
Anyway, back to the review...
SkinWhite is really, I think, not the brand for me. If you have sensitive skin or oily skin, I don't recommend this for you.
In my first time of using this, my face felt so smooth and looked whiter than before. I really loved the coverage then.
It didn't worsen though until after my day is finally over.
But I observed that my face broke out! I had pimples and I really panicked over these small pink dots on my face.
I really enjoyed the experience but now, I'm thinking twice whether to still continue the usage or not.
But, I still think you should purchase it in a sachet and give the product a chance! :D
Adieu!

Becoming a Princess
Most of young girls who like fairy tales are consumed by the thought of being a true princess and being treated as a royalty. Well, we all can be.
Because each one of us has a King for a father. Wondering who that is? Or are you saying 'hey, my dad ain't a king! He's only this or that'. Well, what I said is true. We really have One.
Who else but our heavenly Father, God!
Are you wondering if He does even exist? Well, I didn't believe also, at first, because I can't see Him. But the naked eyes can be deceiving. How we see things are not really as it is. For example, the color of the sky is not really blue! It is any color but blue! If you don't believe me, research it and find the answers for yourself.
The image of God in the minds of other people who don't believe are distorted. They think that God is distant and angry and make us suffer for the bad things we've done. But, NO! God isn't like that! God is the complete expression of love! In fact, He's the source of all love and IS love!
He lives and exists today, as you read this!
He created you and me and wants a relationship with us! He doesn't want to take from us; He wants to give us everything we need and complete us and lavish us with His love for us!
But, because of the sin man made, we are separated from God. But God wants us to be with Him, so He made a way and sent His only Son, Jesus, to earth to die for the sins of all humanity.
He paid for your sins and my sins, so we can be reconciled and have a relationship with the Father! It is up to us to go tell God we admit being a sinner, receiving His forgiveness, and accepting Jesus as our only Lord and Savior! Jesus is the only way to the Father! He is the way, the truth, and the life!
Many times we become sad and seek and seek for that thing that would make us forever happy. But, we end up disappointed because we can't get that from the world or from the people you love the most. Only God can do that!
And, He promises you great things to those who believe!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believe in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life." John 3:16
Watch this and this will help you...

Note: After you receive God, don't let the fire in your heart for Him be put out. Take care of your relationship with Him. :)

Problem Alert: I don't have a camera!
Ugh... No matter how badly I want to start blogging about girly stuff I have and noticed, I can't!
I think things like those are really better talked about if we have visual aids, you know?
Then, what if I blog and not have pictures?
Hmmm... will that be okay?
I think not. Maybe, wait for a little while then?
I just want to tell everyone I'm not dead yet or anything. :)

The Good Side and Bad Side of Being a Girl (even though we pretty much enjoy being one)
Sure we
don't have to court someone (it is a choice, still) and we don't have to work
our backs off for a livelihood in the family, but we still have those things
that sure are irksome and that boys don't experience.
THE GOOD SIDE
THE GOOD SIDE
- Freedom of expression. We, girls, can get all clingy as we want... with other girls. Not with boys. Because if some girl is being extra friendly with a guy, chances are, she's a flirt. Or, she doesn't understand the beauty of girls, because if she does, she'll probably hang out with her own kind.
- Extra protection. Just like a fragile flower is a girl to her parents. Not that I'm exaggerating. If you're going out and it's like two blocks away from your door and they're like, bring this, bring that. But, at least, we're safe. No other protection beats that of a parent's. So don't hate them because they'll only want the good for their daughters (not sure for their sons).
- Our not being a guy? Not sure if this is really a good thing, but it counts now, I guess. The whim of wanting to be a guy exists now and then but it goes and stays away, enough to realize that being a girl is a good thing because I don't have to be a guy. But guys and gals are of equal importance.
THE BAD
SIDE
- Competition. When you attend school or just stroll the streets, there's always competition. Not just with the girls but with everything, most particularly, the GIRLS... Mostly, the bad side is this. Competing and comparing for the hair, nails, skintone, body, or boys? The last thing is disgusting because I really thought that only animals fight over a partner.
So, yeah, here they are! And I'm sure these are not the only things you
can think of, but I just want to shorten this post because I don't really want
to emphasize the downside of being a girl. Because, I like being a girl. I hope
you do too! :)
