Hey There! Thank you for Reading My Blog!

“Collect the pieces to be normal again”

Today, after a long rest to writing, I have made my first blog post for 2016. Not quite, good for a person who promise to keep on writing until I have no idea what to write anymore. I have never thought that dormancy will be long to occur. I only expected it to be a month or so. Now, realization hit me. If your passion is writing, even how long you cease writing, there will be time in your life that you will come back. Why? Because writing is part of your system, if you take out part of your system, you won’t be whole again. Collect the pieces to be normal again.

It has been a rocky 2016. Both on personal and my entrepreneurial endeavours and my 2015 goals and plans aren’t easy to achieve. Plus so many factors, I have lost control. So many areas in my life are affected which includes writing. I can’t formulate any ideas on my head, writer’s block out as some writers call it. Then again, when its run in the system, your ideas will suddenly flow just like what happened today. This fuels my comeback post. This stimulates my collect the pieces and go back on tract. This made my realization a reality.

Today, I declare. I am a writer. My system yearns to write, to have a purpose on writing and I will continue writing. No amount of back lash will hinder me to persist on my first love. I’m going back to my keyboard, dictionary and formulate ideas. Do the cycle of think, write, edit and polish. I have faced the trials, made procrastination and worst of all, stop. I have to add a new paragraph which is new beginning.

This is my realization and the best one for that matter. You fail only if you stop writing.

Review: Bathe with Lux

Hey There!

Thank you for Reading My Blog!

How has your day been? I hope it’s doing really fine! After a long time, I’m going to review a product! Blame it in my procrastination; I was not able to write a blog post. Thankfully, my hibernation has ended. Back to my passion again! So timely for December indeed, have you started shopping? If you ask me, nope, I didn’t. 

Last October, I received a loot bag from Lux. When I received the bag, I was excited to open it because of the over powering fragrance that comes from it. It is soothing to the nose and calming to the senses.  They have a note that encourages users to post their experiences online.

This is how this idea of making a blog post started.

Let me share to you my experience with using Lux.

Whats on the Loot?

Other Variants Available are Soft Touch, White Impress and Love Forever

My impressions: 

•   I love the very relaxing fragrance. It gives me a calming effect.

•   I love the packaging it has a mysterious vibe. The packaging is catchy. It did not conform, most soap packaging in the market uses light colors.

• They stand in being unique. Even there soap is molded intricately.

My Experience Using the Product:

When I first tried Lux Body wash, I really loved the smell in my skin. It lasts; my officemate noticed the differently good smell. They even asked what soap I used. The one I got was magical spell (as shown above). My problem was, it did not compliment my skin type. It made my skin slightly dry. I still continued using it, and my skin adopted. But sometimes, the dryness got back. I just put lotion with moisturizer to back me up.

Prices in the Market:

The 110g bar are priced at 39 pesos while the Lux body wash 200ml is priced at 120-125 pesos depending on the variants

Where can you purchase?

Available at leading drug stores, grocery stores and at Lazada.

Will I recommend it?

Yes, I will recommend it but not for people with dry skin.

Will I repurchase?

Yes I will, I want to try the other variants.

Thank you for taking time to read my post. 2015 has been good to me and I would like to share the wonderful moments I have experienced. And for the year 2016, I will be more active in blogging starting 2016 with a blog post! Hope to see you again in 2016 friends!

Kwentong Tsuper: An Amazing Story of a Pedicab Driver that Left Drug Addiction

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Credits to the Owner of the Photo

Every after work or after my morning jog, it is a routine for me to go to the Market. I always ride a pedicab and there is always something new I learn. Pedicab Drivers always have something to say whether it is about the current state of the politics or the rising prices of different commodities. They always like to share stories and those stories I listened from them makes the ride worth it. Last week, I had an interesting chat with a pedicab driver and thought of sharing this to you. I hope that his story will be able to help that family man that got addicted to drugs. He was able to reinvent himself after his fall.

We were two passengers when the Pedicab driver starts to talk. He said a place in the city that drug selling and addiction is very rampant. He then shared his story on how he was able to try it. It was out of curiosity and peer pressure. He is a father of two kids. He said he is a good provider and a faithful husband before he got addicted to drugs. He has a Pedicab and he has a driver renting it and would pay him for the boundary. One day, his driver did not remit the boundary and its family were looking for him. The driver’s family is worried and he looked for him. He found the driver in the drug den. He told him about his family’s concern but it was so high and it did not even listen. It was his first close encounter with drugs. It repeated again and out of his curiosity, he tried it. When he tried, he said there is nothing amazing on it. It’s just normal. He became the driver of his own pedicab and he noticed that he did not get tired. He felt that he is energy is being renewed. He can drive even for the whole day. That made him tick. He started to keep on using it. He’s mind became futuristic. His family noticed the change. They talked with his wife but his already on the pit and he didn’t know how to come out of it.

Another passenger gets on the ride. He continued his story. His wife become nagger and he did not choose to go home. He does not want to face the reality. He enjoyed the fantasy he lives in the moment. Then the wake-up call happened. They were struggling. His wife’s salary isn’t enough anymore, his kids are afraid of him, his pedicab got sold and he cannot the fix problem anymore. He has to change, he said. But the hardest part is the process of changing. He keeps on coming back to it. His body is searching for it and his neighbours are encouraging him to come back. He would e happy if he stops for a week but after that, he goes back. It is the story all the time. He looks for help; he changed his religion but it did not help him. He is so guilty that he sees his wife crying every night. He has his “if only” and “what if’s” . He made a decision; he applied for a job that can keep him busy and away from the place. He said, it was the best move he made. He was assigned to a secluded place. He got himself going. There are times that his body is looking for it but he managed to destruct himself. The change became gradual and he succeeded. He said, it is the darkest past he was able to successfully fight.

I reach my destination and I thank him for his wonderful story. It was not an easy feat but he made it. He made me believe in the saying “if there’s a will, there’s a way”. It is not an easy way out specially the process of changing but if you are motivated enough and you believe that it’s for the best you can always carry on. I don’t know the plate number of the pedicab and I am not sure if I can still recognize him but one thing is sure. I will always remember how his story inspired me. Change is for the brave people that accept they were wrong and they were responsible to make it correct.

Hope you got inspired with his story too! Please do share!

Tomato.ph Online Shop Review

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Just like other girls, I am also totally hooked with shopping online. I have posted my experience shopping at Zalora. It was a very pleasant one. So my expectation for other online shops is high. I come across Tomato.ph when I saw their posting in Facebook last September exactly 100 days before Christmas that they will have a 50% off in all their items! I feel ecstatic! I directly visited their website. 

It’s cute. Super red, I saw JC De Vera and that time I knew he was the endorser of it. All I know about tomato is their SWAP watch. And as I visited their website, I was introduced to their variety of products. I personally love their watches and bags. At first, I was asking myself if the picture and the actual would be the same but yeah, I can assure you, they are. 

The 50% off just lasted for 120 hours or two hours. I manage of pull of all my favourites in my cart. I was dizzy, if only I can have them all. But no, time and money constraint will not allow me. I proceed for checkout. I applied the code for 50% off. I only paid more than 3k for the transaction. It was smooth until I read that the areas covered by Cash on Delivery are outdated. Our province was listed in there but they said it is not. I was used with Zalora paying on my trasaction through Cash on Delivery. I paid through RCBC. I took a photo of my deposit slip and send it in their Viber and through their Payment Form.

I waited for more than three days before they confirm my payment. I was disappointed as well when they inform me that some of the products I choose were out of stock already. But I commend their Customer Service Representative for pacifying me. They give me different choices. I was able to choose. They process my orders for two days. And after more than a week, I finally have my orders delivered to me.

Honestly, I feel that they process orders really slow maybe because I ordered on the sale period. They compensate me with their product. They have very nice products. It is chic. I have their watches, wallets, bags and shoes. They did not disappoint me at all. Very worthy of every penny I spend.

I had my second purchase last week, it is faster than my last purchase but the product quality is still the same. Just want to say if you want to shop at Tomato, you have to pay early. Your orders will be process once your payment is acknowledged.  All in all, you’ll love Tomato. They may process slow but patience is a virtue right. 

By the way, they are celebrating 10 years in Business.

Happy 10^th year Anniversary Tomato!

My Daily Diary: Best Advice I had received

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Credits to the Owner of the Photo

Its hours before my 24 birthday and I am not yet sleepy. My cat is trying to catch my attention while I’m typing this post. I am moving to the next chapter of my life. As the cliché goes, goodbye 23, hello 24, and honestly I feel excited. Another chapter has passed and a new chapter to face. I remember when I was young, I spend lots of hours just day dreaming what will happen in my life-most especially when I will age 24. I don’t know what is in age 24 that I’ve been thinking about it ever since I was young. And tomorrow, I will finally live each day with it. 

But before I will be turning 24, I want to write this blog post to remember what are the best advices I have received from different people that I put to my heart to abide me. You can use this too, but this time, I am the one advising you.

Have a Little Money of Your Own

This is an advice I read from a known financial adviser and literally, I was caught off guard at first. It was as if a bull’s eye. A lot of young women nowadays live every payday and I’m not excuse to it. Money is something I hate to talk about especially on the part of, savings. Do you have your own savings? If your answer is a big no, then start now. That’s my advice.

You’re Future is still Unwritten

A speaker on our graduation in high school shared her life story, she is no near on being a rich woman. Her family is an average Filipino. But because of her determination to succeed, she pushes herself, exceed her limitations. Poverty does not hinder her. I put that to practice. I put that to my heart that one day, even we are poor, I can still make my like better. There is no such thing as predestined life. It depends on your determination. You cannot say because you are poor you’ll die poor. God himself says in Jeremiah 29:11 that His plan is to make us prosper. This is my advice, make your life better, your future depends on yourself.

Live out and Live Well

You only one life to live, why waste it? Do the things that make you happy, do not conform, listen to what they say but do not follow all they say. You have a choice practice that. This is a free country. Live a life you want to live, it is the only you will be happy.

Never Give Up

This is a cliché, but this cliché works. Every day, we have setbacks. And every day, this should be our reminder to us. Never Give up, ever.

Lastly,

Walk with God

This is the best advice I will never forget. God gives up His Son Jesus Christ for us to be saved. And we ought to live our life in accordance with His will. This may not be easy, but at least, fulfilling.
