bantay is sick

i'm coughing like crazy that i'm starting to sound like that lovable creature barking at suspicious-looking strangers eying the poor mutt to be his dinner... how can i stop this? i've tried too many remedies but they proved futile... help please.... :(

that feeling

i trust him... yes i do. and i love how good trusting him makes me feel... :)

...

i love staring at you
memorizing every detail as if it's the last i'd ever see
lingering, not wanting to let go
each moment so precious that i can't let go

i adore your smile more than anyone possibly could

yes i'm a psycho, i'm addicted, i am hooked
you see the way you smile like a little boy in a toy store
leaves me at a lost, no words at all

i realized looking in your eyes is like quicksand
the more i linger, the more i'm done
but being stuck is a small price i have to pay
if it means being a part of you, by all means ok

call me a loser putting my heart on my sleeves
i'd still put you on my pedestal, you still hold my wheel
because the day i started loving you
became the day i started to love myself...

can you keep a beauty secret?

back in college (which feels like a gazillion years ago), my amigas and i had this bonding moment wherein we'll circle around then they'll get make-up tips from me... so being the make-up enthusiast that i am, i cheerfully give in to their question and happily answers each one (most of the time, the questions leads to an on the spot demo where a happy volunteer becomes my project)... they would ask me what make-up brand have the best quality or how can they protect their skin against breakouts from wearing make-up... my answer to the first is always try different brands and don't stick to one... there are a lot of good make-up brands but do not neccessarily have all the best make-up products... it's interesting to note that the face shop has fairly good make-up products while elianto excels more in their skincare products... maybelline is known to boast a line-up of high-quality make-up at a cheaper cost while mac charges insanely-high but has the richest lipstick colors in the market...

ok, back to our topic... our bonding moment became a habit for me as i've realized that i enjoy being a sorta "guru" to my eager students... then, my job came and i rarely do it anymore (i only get to do so every time trix asks me... :D )... i found that i missed it that's why i came up with this blog so that i can still spread the word even if i'm not with my amigas...

everyone, here is my list of the skincare products i personally recommend:


MAKE-UP REMOVER:

ELIANTO'S GREEN TEA CLEANSING CREAM bags this category... not only is this easy to apply (you just spread evenly on the face and neck (face and neck should be dry) then tissue off... it can remove the heaviest make-up and will leave skin feeling softer than usual... i also love how a pea-sized cream can cover a lot... P300+

FACIAL WASH

i found out in highschool that facial scrub and i were not friends... my face got irritated and my acne multiplied... so i stopped and search for the best facial wash for my skin and tada! i've found my new best friend! ELIANTO'S CUCUMBER FACE FOAM CLEANSER washes away all the dirt that water alone can't and softens the skin that soap tend to dry up... what's better is that this leaves a cooling effect on the skin that you feel reviatlized after washing... P300+

TONER
i admit i was apprehensive at first to use a toner because a friend of mine warned me before that it dries the skin... but being the curious that i am, i tried the DEWY FLOWER TONER BY THE FACE SHOP... it's so mild that it doesn't sting unlike other cleansers that are too harsh for the skin... i also love the fragrance of the toner and its feel on the skin... P400+ per set (toner and moisturizer)


MOISTURIZER (night use)
moisturizers are a MUST for every girl especially those hitting the 20s mark... this will be the best time to start caring for our skin... the earlier we repair, the younger our skin will look as we age... moisturizers are vital weapons to combat skin aging... for this i trust THE FACE SHOP DEWY FLOWER MOISTURIZER to help protect my skin from drying... i use this at night after i apply toner and it leaves my skin supple and smooth the next day... P400+ per set (moisturizer and toner)

MOISTURIZER (day use)
if you must moisturize during the day, use QUICK & CLEAN OIL-FREE MOISTURIZER... this has a non-greasy formula and feels light on the skin... it also makes me feel like touching my skin all the time because of its smoothness... plus, this moisturizer smell so yummy! it has a citrusy scent (a mix of lemon and orange)... P500+



so there you have it! my recommended skincare products that are available in the market... so go try them and start caring for your skin... remember, it is never too early to start treating yourself right and it is never too indulgent to pamper one's skin... ;)

words that move

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
stay....

i know this song's getting old for some but i'm in love with perry's lyrics on this one. though i can't relate to the situation, her use of words are so powerful that you can almost feel the persona's agony...

she hopes

she walks without a care
and showers the world with smile and laughter
but beneath the warm facade
is a glass waiting to crash

she sings her happy songs
and shares her fairytale endings
we all think she has everything
but we don't dig down deep

in a world where dragons are not fought by knights
and damsels in distress are not saved by princes
she gets her heart broken
shredded into pieces
and yet she smiles

she waits patiently though there's no point in waiting
she jots down every single word
she sleeps each night with a hopeful heart
the world will be beautiful in her eyes

she believes in happy endings
she believes she'll be that princess
but you see, life is not written in a glossy paper
chivalry gets lost in the sea of busy passengers

in a world where dragons are not fought by knights
and damsels in distress are not saved by princes
she gets her heart broken
shredded into pieces
and yet she smiles

the world is beautiful in her eyes
amidst the deception and the lies
and she will smile
yes, she will always smile
