Leyende, the story of skin
June 6, 2009
I can’t remember how it is to have lips that are soft and supple but I am sure that sometime in my thirty or so years on this earth, they must have been. Now my memories are filled with dry, cracked and chapped lips. The lipsticks in my makeup kit have been replaced by lip balms and a tub of petroleum jelly and I no longer care if mauve or shell would look good on me.
A Powerful Antioxidant Antiaging
May 5, 2009
Running can be a powerful antioxidant antiaging. When you run, you burn large amount of stored calories that transformed into fats. Fat people looks older compared to the lean or sexy. Running can also have many psychological benefits based on the runnersguide.com. Most significantly, runners typically report being happier and feeling less stressed than their counterparts who do not run or exercise regularly.
When running, the body releases endorphin hormones that are responsible for the feeling of euphoria. Perspiration or sweating creates a cooling effect that lightens one’s mood. When you run, you strengthen your bones and tendons. This slows down their aging process that would likely result to osteoporosis.
Wrangler Jeans
April 14, 2009
Fashion nowadays is trashed. It seems people has forgotten the denim style. But I still prefer to wear Wrangler Jeans because it still has its mimimalistic and cowboy design.

Dove.ph - A campaign for real beauty
January 25, 2009
A few years ago (I think), I was deeply moved by a TV ad shown about Dove. This Dove commercial showed several young girls, ordinary girls in different activities looking at the camera while a voice over speaks about what they seem to be thinking about. Thoughts about their insecurities about how they look is mostly what is being highlighted in the ad. It was relevant, it was touching, it was true.

Victoria’s Secret 2008 + Heidi is the longest running VSA
December 19, 2008
The whole production was a blast and worth watching. Set designs changes dramatically enough to introduce a new world and everyone was smiling! Honestly, a flirtatious outfit cannot fit a high-end fashion facial expression, that’s why everybody’s hair is down.
Heidi Klum is the longest running Victoria’s Secret Angel for freaking 9 YEARS (Not counting her first runway appearance and her first shoot with the company in 1997), along those NINE YEARS, she got married and had children and all those freaky things that happen that causes you to get a little large. Thanks to her personal trainer
Klum worked it just two months after giving birth to her second child, Henry, in a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. She said, “A lot of people come to me, and they’re like, ‘Will I look like you after I have the baby?’ And I say, ‘Well, how were you before?’ You can’t kid yourself.” Translation: I rock it +++++es and you don’t. - babble.com

A pilgrimage to the Baclayon Church in Bohol
October 19, 2008
Sometimes, when we are too close to something, we fail to see its beauty. This is probably the reason why there are still many Boholanos, especially those living at the coastal areas, who have yet to visit the viewing deck of the Chocolate Hills in Carmen, Bohol, or even the new one in Sagbayan, Bohol.
Because we know it is just nearby, we sort of miss out on how extraordinary the thing is. It is exactly the same with the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon, Bohol, the second oldest stone Church in the Philippines. I don’t think many really appreciate its place in the history of our country.

Being fashionable does not come cheap
October 10, 2008
I used to believe that. Many women magazines tell us in detail how a dress, earrings, a pair of shoes will cost us if we covet it enough. Others even lay pieces side by side comparing their prices, where one would have an exorbitant price tag while the other considerably lower. So we zoom in on the tag with less zeroes thinking were getting a great deal.

Cocktail scents by Zen Zest
September 28, 2008
The past few weeks have been truly hectic. I have had to plan, organize, facilitate, pack, fix and basically restructure my life (including my family’s) accompanying our move to a new home. During all the chaos, I somehow got lost in the organization of my own personal stuff. The most important ones include my skincare products, cosmetics, fragrances and the like.
The Thing About Age
September 12, 2008
There was a time when I was “requested” to buy some cigaretts, even of my outright and my obvious attempt making her know that I gate this habit of hers.
It is a well known mandatory to present your ID for your age. As she ounched it in age asked if I would like to have a match, but I said I don’t smoke
As the transaction ended I was very coy and playful and asked the person in the register if I look like sixteen. I think she was somewhat hesitent to answer so I somewhat did it for her. (More From The Thing About Age)
Halili-Cruz Ballet School
August 28, 2008
It is probably one of the best dance and ballet schools in the Philippines. Their students performed very well during the 10th Asia-Pacific Dance Competition in Singapore last July. Many in the Philippines must have read about it in the papers there. I have a niece who joined them for the first time this year. So, along with her mom, my younger sis, they traveled to Singapore to join the team. When I was young (ehem) and in our place, ballet was not so popular as in the cities. Although at school, we had the basics for dancing in our PE classes. But it never went beyond that. Folkdance was much cheaper so we had to settle for it. It would have been nice for our posture and the way we hold ourselves if we had ballet as part of our regimen …

Philippine Juicy Fruits
July 30, 2008
These four young, talented, bright and beautiful ladies are excellent singers who could also dance to the hilt was so lucky to have been discovered by Sister Bella Dimayuga. Their future in the entertainment industry is not only secured, but their well-being as a complete person, a Christian and their moral uprightness is assured as well. With them, the Philippines can be assured of ripping more honors abroad from these singing and dancing divas. They will be introduced fully into the entertainment industry here and ultimately, abroad: in the U.S. and all over the world !
Sister Bella, the President of the then world renowned Bellestar Promotions told us that she has something big in store for these young, beautiful and talented ladies in the United States where she now promotes our country and kababayans. It’s one thing we admire of this lady, she has a big heart not minding spending money to take care of her fellow Filipinos, developing their talents, nurturing their well-being, then sending them abroad for a brighter future is not an easy task.

Of Dentists and Facial Therapists
July 14, 2008
I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned sometime last week and then had a facial a day after that. Funny how there are so many parallels between dentists/clinics/dental appointments and facials/facial therapists/facial rooms. Consider this…
My dental cleaning took thirty minutes, my facial took forty minutes. My dentist and my facial therapist both wore white gowns. They both did a lot of funny things to the front side of my head. My dentist probably had at least six years of college education and had to pass some sort of exam. I don’t know how long my facial therapist studied to become such, but I’m quite certain it’s less than six years and she didn’t take any board exam. But I paid my dentist only $15 and I paid my facialist $20.
