Back From HiberNation

Hello World!





So I am so back, but you may be wondering the relevance of the YouTube video I posted in this posts. Well, it's kinda my favorite song for now that inspired me to get up and write. It is Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue.

There are so many things that happened to me in the past few days. First, weather maybe not that good, unpredictable rain as usual but mostly very hot and humid summer days. Second, okay this is kinda personal but I am crushing on someone hahah. Third, I have been travelling around the country and booked a couple more this coming month and lastly, I have another work opportunity to join and who doesn't need money these days?

I'm not really pressuring my self a lot now since I have missed a lot of things here, oh boy you know when cortisol overflows. It's one of the most unfortunate days and it's part of my ups and downs too. Anyways, let's chill!

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires.

Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.

 --------

St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls – Pray for me. This prayer was found in the fifteenth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, not shall poison take effect of them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy; or shall be burned in any fire, or shall be overpowered in battle.

Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask

Asian Secret 2 in 1 Anti-pimple and Whitening Soap

Hello beautiful people! 

Today Im gonna talk about the acne soap I got from the groceries, it's Asian Secret 2 in 1 Anti-pimple and Whitening Soap. It cost Php 24.00 the time I bought it. I have used the entire soap for a month on my face and my verdict, well it kinda dried some of my huge pimples and some that's about to pop however, when I used this soap, I was also breaking out. Some dried up and some just lasted for a week (usual pimple or acne life on my face).



I dont find the smell irritating and I dont find it drying on my face. I don't feel like it can thoroughly clean my face though since it's kinda creamy when lathering.








It's a so-so soap for me but as for the whitening, I think it kinda lighten my face. 



I was thinking maybe I can use it on my body instead because it kinda lighten my face and my neck seems to appear darker after using it (uneven now). 😹😹😹

Android Smartphone Applications

Who else is an Android user here?? I am and I am currently on version 7.1.1 Nougat. I am sure we all have a favorite app to use, an app that is just fairly used and the lesser used apps. 

There is no random order in here I'll just tell you what I like about them.


I love snapseed! Along with it is the CandyCam simply because I love taking pictures. May it be selfie or just random stuff that's eye pleasing. 

Snapseed is a good app for editing pictures and I like how it enhances captured moments, it looks natural still.  

The pitch black wallpaper is cool too, I usually don't like my home page messy, I love it plain. Dark colored wallpapers helps save phone energy and it won't drain your battery fast. 

The power director app is really awesome too. It helps you record and edit videos. It uses third party video app like candycam anf I just like it since I kinda look good there, hehehe (somehow)

I just used the shareit app once and wow it's amazing when transfering files especially large files instead of using bluetooth. I recently received a 2gb movie from my cousin using it and within 2 minutes, I got it. Awesome!

Snapcart ph helps me earn some cash by uploading grocery receipts. Take note, grocery items only and each receipt worth has corresponding cashback amount. I got paid once and waiting for my second pending cashout now 😁

The inshot video maker, I'm already thinking about uninstalling​ it. I barely use it.


Demisexual It Is

What's up! I was​ on Facebook earlier and reading about some comments about one article posted in my newsfeeds. The word kinda intrigued me. 


This kinda true about me, I mean it kinda spot on true on my part but I didn't knew it has this coiled term already. I guess my vocabulary is growing. 

Rainy Days Are Here Again

Hey everyone! What was the last song you've heard today? My background music now is 25 minutes by Michael Learns to Rock πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 

My brother is kinda feeling sentimental, I can here the music in my bedroom from the living room.

What do you like to do when it's raining outside? I love to sleeeeeep lol sounds boring but who doesn't like to lay on a comfy bed, with a book in your hand, with mellow music playing and fall sleep eventually?  πŸ™‚πŸ˜ Aah peaceful! 


The rain is gonna be here for few days before summer takes place. I jus hope it won't ruin my datenight with the girls. It's gloomy and I have to wait until mr. Sun is out so I can hang my clothes outside to dry. 

I can't wait for weekend as well, quite excited to see my friends, hangout, shop for skincare and watch cinema. They said the movie Beauty and the Beast is nice, I love Emma Watson so I should see that. 

Sleepy And Hungry

Hello friends! So it's past midnight and it's time to bed but tummy is complaining. What is your favorite midnight snack? Mine is oatmeal with milk or just plain oatmeal, bland. 


I just hope that this won't worsen my acne or I wont be having breakouts since it was told that if you eat something close to bedtime, it will give negative effects on  skin.



Yup it' s a changing color mug. It changes to white if it's heated but if not, the default color is blue. Ain't that cool??? πŸ˜‰☺️  S stands for Swagelock, this mug is just one of their amazing freebies.

It's kinda weird when you're feeling so sleepy and at the same time multitasking to blog and eating.

Ramgo Seeds

Hey friends! Few weeks ago I bought a Ramgo Seeds packet in Metro Gaisano. I want to grow plants especially the flowering ones and one of the flowers I have been eyeing on is the Zinnia plant. 

I got the zinnia sunshine mix seeds for Php 54.00. Here is the packaging below.


Honestly, I find it pricey after I saw the seeds inside but since it's available in the store I usually go, it's alright. I guess I just need to take good care of my pet zinnia sunshine once it sprouts.



This is like 15 seeds only. I just hope that germination rate is 100% successful.



I'm gonna be updating about the germination rate soon. Hopefully everything will grow healthy.

Internet Connection Problem

One of the things I so hate about when blogging is internet disruptions​. Yes! Internet service sucks here and internet providers here are cheaters! I am writing this now because I can no longer bear the burden of ugly services by internet providers here in my country. This has become a norm and I hate it, hopefully my rants will be recognized somehow and a miracle will happen in their services.



We are currently subscribing​ in Toledo City Cable TV (TCTV) and well, whoever is thinking about getting a good internet service provider in Toledo City, I strongly recommend to check on other  providers. I hate false promises. They've been telling customers that their internet is not capped but they are so consistent about cutting few hours of my internet connection daily, it's more than being capped and more likely robbed! I am also sure that I am not alone who thinks this way.

To The 16th President Of The Republic Of The Philippines

To the Best President of my country πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­Philippines, happiest birthday to hardest working presidentπŸ‘. I never would have realized that you have the toughest job in my country until you won the presidency, we are so glad we voted for you, it never got wasted and we are still excited for what is yet to come under your administration.

Even if me, my family, and friends haven't met you personally, we truly feel your strong​ effective leadership, more than enough to feel hope for our country. πŸ¦… We appreciate your effort to correct the twisted system in our recent society because of the past and some current greedy officials.

Mobile Vs Regular Webpage Blogging

Hmm, in my honest opinion, both is good. Mobile blogging for me is great for me because I can write whenever I feel lazy sitting in front of my desk and encode my posts (yeah im kinda lazy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚). With this, all I just think about is the focus on what's in my thoughts since im more comfortable.

When sitting​ in front of the pc, I tend to slouch πŸ˜… and my back and butt hurts a lot after. I get tempted to rearrange layouts, redesign the face of my blog and wander around the net, missing my task to write πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ so I'm more on the bed pose blogging (laying on my side 😌 and yes it's bad for the eyes baby).

Anyhow, both are still productive (except for the back and butt pain). I'm more fueled to write more when on bed, thanks to technology especially the mobile blogging apps hehe but I get longer hours exposed to the computer screen when on desktop, it's more energy daining.  

BlogIt

What's up readers! πŸ˜€ All smiles for me today. I switched to a new Android blogging app and it's a lot better. It's Blogit! Again, this is not a sponsored post. I find Blogaway app to be a pain in the as* already, it does not publish my post with pictures anymore, sad but I have to move on. The application needs updating, it has become so buggy.

Anyway, Im using something cool now and user friendly (so far now) Hopefully the developer will add more convenient features, I dont need it to be a lot like the webpage version but I like it more to be mobile friendly, with more features without sacrificing the ease of usage.

What do you think? 😍😍😍

I'm kinda pushing myself so hard to make time for writing and this is a very good start to help myself be inspired to make it my habit. Someday I'll earn the fruit of this labor lol (fingers crossed​). They say you can actually earn a good money from blogging, we will see... So help me God 😌




So this is the app guys. Feel free to check it out in Playstore.

For the meantime, I am taking advantage of this blogging app. Til next time, mwuah! 😍😍

My Acne Treatment Journey

Hey readers! It's been 48 years since my last update and I got so many things to share to you guys. So I have been suffering with severe acne on my jawline, some ares on my neck and chin for months already (Since September 2016). I have to be   honest with you guys, I regret putting baking soda in my face since it's most probably be the culprit. I never had an acne before, just minimal pimples that come and go whenever my period is coming. My acne occured like crazy after my second week of using baking soda paste on my face. I was doing that routine twice a week every night before bedtime and my face felt smoother than ever, however, after that magical effect my acne starts showing and theyre huge!


Yup! I even posted the wonderful effects of baking soda but what happened in my face, i wish i never tried. Although it makes a good body scrub I would suggest not to try it from head to chest. It made me have minimal backne and neck pimples too. πŸ˜πŸ˜‘πŸ˜– It might work for others but it didnt work well for me.

It's kinda greasy looking here (aloe gel is still damp πŸ˜‚)

Pardon the grossness but that's how worst it was. That was taken last January this year.  

On February 25th I started using a Korean brand Aloe vera soothing gel. Since I was so desperate for​ a solution, I did try to make it as a sleeping mask and in all fairness, it improved my skin. I use it every night and it tamed my acne. Whenever I have one starting to grow, it  dries within 3 days. My pimples and acne usually lasts 2 weeks thats why I still have their red stubborn scars that never goes away on my face. It's more like mosquito bites now.





Picture above is taken 3 days ago. I have been documenting my progress since I used the aloe soothing gel. Im glad my friend told me about it. I will be talking about this brand in my next blog post. Thanks for reading.

PS. I have a very oily skin btw, my t-zone, temples, nose and it's corners. Areas below my cheeks are dry. I do clean my face every night, it's either i wash it with soap and water or if I'm kinda lazy, I clean it with a cleansing water. After few minutes of letting it dry, I apply the aloe gel like a sleeping mask after and wash it off in the morning. I hope this acne cure will help you as it works for me. 

Sick-oh Me

I'm giving myself a treat this time. I'm gonna eat healthy! Damn this junkfood and bad moody weather these days. Well youre probably thinking why I'm blaming the junk, well for one it isn't healthy and too much sodium nor sugar is too bad for me, and it will obviously show in my face, breakouts galore! But why do these stuff taste so good, lol

I've been out for few days with bad weather, extreme sunny heat and sudden rain pour ughh! The ugly cough virus caught me and here I am nursing an itchy throat and annoying cough, I hate it.


Yes it's probably too much serving for my dinner, lol but I need it. It's good anyway so I just need to be consistent about eating​ healthy, more vegetables, fruits, fish and little meat. I've been breaking out lately and got acnes on my chin and coughing too. Hopefully, I'll be well asap. I hate husky voice due to my cough. I wasn't talking a lot, to avoid bruising my throat more and my voice is barely heard because of this awful cough.


Lagundi Cough Relief

Dry cough? Itchy throat?

This is the worst feeling ever! I can't even remember the last time I had it. I have been coughing for almost a week now and it sucks and embarrassing when i need to go out and interact with people.  I've been taking medicines since the mucus turned green. I don't seem to like what I feel after taking 5 tablets so I wanted to try a natural alternative, hopefully I'll get rid of this cough and annoying itchy throat the soonest possible.






Above is a picture of Lagundi leaves and two cloves of garlic.
Lagundi is said to give cough healing properties while garlic is a natural antibiotic. Simply bring it to boil in 10 minutes and drink when it's cool enough, but I like it when it's mildly hot.






Picture above is what it looks like when done. I made one cup for it and im gonna divide it to three, a sip 10 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm gonna prepare this everyday for a week.


Online Shopping

I finally have the time to update my blog with ease. Today we will talk about my experience about online shopping (I will be reviewing the item I shopped separately).

I love to shop online, though Im not a crazy shopper. When youre in an online store, it's quite tempting but at the same time scary because you cant see the items personally before purchasing and you can't examine the quality. What I do first is do a research thoroughly until my curiousity is satisfied, and check the stores' credibility by reading feedbacks and the like.

I started shopping when I started earning online . I have been using Paypal when purchasing items internationally and just recently, I get to experience paying through money remittance centers (locally).

I can still remember my first transaction. It's a prepaid load for my phone. I can no longer refer you to that link since I forgot what is the site's name.


Anyway, my advise is that, you need to take your time in researching. If you can find the item around your area, it is better to put online shopping as a second choice to make sure you have the real deal. You dont wanna be spending much just because youre not pleased( unless youre rich 😄) some stores wont refund too.


Cookie Cravings

My sweettooth is bothering me a lot. It so happened that I went to the groceries to buy some munchies to be stocked. I came to pass this cookie box, tempting!


I cookies, chocolate chip cookies but it seems like I got cheated to what I paid for. I always thought that the box would be stuffed by loads of it like other biscuit boxes, tsk.


Yes! For P165.00 box, I only have 72 pcs of it, rubbish for a box so big, it's like paying for the plastic trays and it's packaging more than the cookies. This makes me want to learn how to bake and never buy again. 


It's Almost Christmas

Okay so we are done setting up the christmas tree but there ain't no lights yet.
 


Happy that it's there. Quite tough setting a 12ft tall tree.

What makes you excited about Christmas? It's the family gathering for sure... and the food, heheh. I wish I'd gain weight this time. 😄😍😊😆 


Screenshot Pro

Now that my OS is upgraded to Android Nougat, I was having such a hard time finding a good screenshot app. Some applications just work initially and after few tries screen capturing, all images captures blank black image. It's frustrating. 

Im looking for a screen capturing app that lets you capture images on your screen with buttons in notification bar. I dont wanna be pushing the physical volume and power buttons of my phone to screenshot.


I found this one instead, screenshot pro (trial version). The downside is it doesnt have buttons in the notification bar to take a quick screenshot. It only has floating buttons to capture and i find it so cluttering.  It does the job anyway but after 3 days having it, if im not mistaken, it prompts me to upgrade and pay for the pro version... Hmm too bad.


I got a solution though. It works but quite a hassle. I did uninstall and installed it ones again and it didnt prompt me 😂😂😂 so if it's gonna asked you to upgrade, you can follow my trick hehe

Floating buttons will do for now lol 😋
