How My Teeth Whitens In Less Than A Week

Image
I don't want to see close-up photos of teeth, but I have to do it for evidence... Haha! My teeth aren't yellow than they were before, right? I'm not the type to write a review about a certain product brand since I usually doesn't mind about the brand, as long as the product (no matter what brand it is) provide its purpose I'm fine with it. But here I am writing my review about a toothpaste brand I have been using for more than a month now. A friend of mine started posting about Nu Skin AP24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste on Facebook and my brother was interest and ask me to order. We started using it and the result is amazing... Aside from making my teeth whiter, it also solved my sensitivity to cold drinks/food, which I haven't achieved in other toothpaste that targets sensitive teeth. I usually felt pain on my left lower molars, but after 3 days of using  the toothpaste, the pain decrease from 7/10 pain-scale (10 being the highest) to 4/10 and ...

My Goal For 2016

Image
My goal for 2016 is to involve myself in things that will make me happy, better, and make me some money (who doesn't need money,anyway?). Let me start with career. I'm already 26 years old and I, believe it or not, still doesn't have a regular job. I graduated in 2011 and was blessed enough to immediately get my license to be a Physical Therapist.  Then I started applying but to no luck,I always (as in ALWAYS) ended being a volunteer (or auxiliary) Physical Therapist but nevertheless I still give my 100% to help my patients recover until 2 years ago, I found myself not being happy or motivated with what I'm doing.  I found myself battling every morning whether to go to work or not, so I have decided to stop deceiving myself and said goodbye to where I was working. Then, I started making money on my own by being a private PT, instead of the patients going to hospital/clinic to get treatment I went to their homes to give treatment, up to now I still have a patient/s ...

Learning 한국어 (Hangugeo/Korean Language)

Image
"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things,but learning another way to think about things." - Flora Lewis I'm into Korean dramas since I was in high school, Korean movies and food after I graduated from college, and this year I've been quite addicted to Korean variety shows and songs which lead me to be more interested in learning their language. My brother and I decided to enroll in Korean Cultural Center 's 3rd term (for this year) for Korean language class, but unfortunately the schedule that we wanted was already full. So, out of my desperation in wanting to learn the language, I decided to study it on my own. One thing I like about internet is that when you need to know something it's just a click away. So, I used this awesome benefit of the internet for my self-study of Hangugeo. And, here, I list the websites that I'm relying on: 1. Pinterest This is where I first learn how to write Korean lette...

Reminders from Pope Francis

Pope Francis' 5-day visit in the Philippines left us a lot of reminders through his speeches and homilies. And here, I listed some quotes that dug deep into my soul which left me thinking how well I've been as a Christian. "You must make time each day for prayer... if we do not pray, we will not know the most important thing of all: God’s will for us." (Meeting with the Families at MOA Arena; January 16,2015)   "What's my purpose?" and "What is God's will for me?" Two questions that I couldn't find any answer. To be honest, I envy those who, at a young age, already know what they want, who already discovered their calling. Well, I guess, I should pray more and wait a little longer knowing that one day I'll find the answers to these questions.  "Do not hide your faith, do not hide Jesus, but carry him into the world and offer the witness of your family life!"  (Meeting with the Families at MOA Arena; January 16,2015) ...

Thank You 2014

Image
Before 2013 ends I shared about my bucket list and said that I'll try to make at least 5 of them in 2014. Here are the ones that have been crossed on my bucket list: 1. Meet Mitch Albom ( February 22, 2014) This is one of the highlights of my 2014. Thanks to National Bookstore for bringing Mitch Albom in the Philippines! And I hope to see him again. :) For my post about my encounter with Mitch click here . 2. Meet Gretchen Ho (March 5, 2014) I'm not an active person but I love watching basketball and volleyball. And Gretchen Ho, a former volleyball player of Ateneo Blue Lady Eagles, is my favorite player. I'm really happy to see her in person when I watched a game with my friend Sarah.  3. Try mountain  climbing (May 3, 2014) I haven't climb again after my first hike but definitely this 2015 I plan of conquering more mountains! To read about my mountain climbing experience click here . 4. Att...

A Worth Having Haircut

Image
If Ice Bucket Challenge is for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), then haircut challenge is for... Cancer. Yesterday, Matrix Philippines held a life-changing event at SM North EDSA called "8-inch Cut for Cancer Challenge". The challenge asked women to donate at least 8 inches of their hair for the benefit of Filipino cancer kids.                                        The lovely ladies who accepted the challenge At first I was hesitant to join, not because I don't want to donate or cut my hair but because I don't know how short my hair would become after the challenge. I already have a short hair (about an inch below the shoulder) to start with, so if 8 inches will be deducted from it, I thought (I just thought) I'll be more likely close to being bald (kinda exaggerated  but it's what I thought). I don't really mind being bald, but a somewhat bald female physical...

My Alabama Experience

Image
When my brother asked me if I wanted to go with him in an art fair, I thought I was going to see bunch of paintings just like when you go to a gallery or museum. But upon arriving at 10a Alabama , I was surprise to see booths that offers all sorts of things. We went straight to check Sir Denver's (my brother's supervisor) booth. My brother Ian (right) with Sir Denver. Sir Denver is selling his paintings together with his friends from Thingamabobs  that sells kikay stuff. Starbucks cup transformed by Sir Denver. After that we opted to check the other booths. I was looking for something to buy at Krafty Pirate I bought these cool earrings from Krafty Pirate. One of the booths that we checked was  Aromateria . I found there items really interesting, they sell Beer soaps, Coffee soaps, etc. They also sell stick perfumes. Plants were also a great find at the fair Since my brother and I have sweet tooth, we made sure that we bought ...

The Kind of Party that Makes Me High!

Image
I was never a party girl. Sure, I go to birthday parties, but the kind with gleaming lights, deafening music, and leaping bodies on the floor... Never (OK! I've tried but it never turned me on). Now... I couldn't end my week without attending a party. Yep! I'm a party addict now! I love the loud music (so loud, I can sing at the top of my lungs without bothering anyone), I love the lights, and I love the crowd. It just feels right! I feel free! But unlike any other party, the one I'm attending starts at 8 am (Yup! 8 in the morning!).  Well, it doesn't really matter whether it is in the morning, afternoon, or in the evening. What's important is the feeling I experience when I'm there. The feeling of getting high... The feeling of getting addicted... Yes, addicted. Addicted to God.  Addicted to His love. To His promises. To His works. The Feast is a weekly Catholic Prayer Meeting of Light of Jesus Family . It usually starts with the Holy Eucharist fol...
