The Quest for Healthy Skin

As a kid, I never suffered from dry skin. I was under the group of the "oily skinned". But then High School came and with that come the breakouts. At that time I was using "pond's facial wash", that was the trend of people my age, and my pimples started popping out of nowhere. So the first visit to the dermatologist suggested that I use a baby soap ( I chose Ivory) to wash my face for only 3 seconds and should not exceed 10 seconds. It was a very good advice since from that day on, I could say that pimples came out only when its the time of the month.

Next thing I knew, I was in college maybe I was 18 then. As what is claimed and what we always read in magazines, your skin changes while you age. Eeeew,what a very strong word age hahaha. I developed dry skin on some areas of my face. I can be both under the oily skinned and dry skinned. Such a dilemma for me on which face products to use. What the dermatologist told me? hehehe use only water to clean your face no soap. Hahaha gross???? nah!

Despite of the no soap rule i still had dry areas near my nose, my mouth and eyebrows. It tends to peel and be itchy. I started using moisturizers. I tried using shisheido's liquid moidturizers it helped a little, then I used clinique, it also only helped a little. Then I asked another opinion from another doctor, and there it was detected I had a skin disorder. Hehehe yup disorder it is. But she just gave me a prescription for a kind of soap that will not cure but prevent the disorder from appearing since there is no available cure for it. Thankfully, this time it worked. But i had to apply it religiously at least 3 times a week.

Now that's my ritual.The prescribed soap in the morning. Skin Fud's tomato moisturizer then sun block. At night, I only wash my face with water (3-10 sec) and put on moisturizer before I sleep.

But I'm still not done with the quest for healthy skin since I have an ideal skin which seems too unreachable for me... In my dreams... hahhaha :)

Watch out for my next post.

"I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say ‘til death do us part but I won’t. Those vows are for optimistic couples the ones full of hope and I do not stand here on my wedding day optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I'm steady. And I know I’m a hard man. Take ‘em apart, put them back together, I hold them in my hands, I am a hard man. So this I am sure you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend, my heart… my heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding I promise you this. I promise you, to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you… me." - Dr. Preston Burke

Almost deadline... And i still haven't started my list.

"Too often, the thing you wanted the most, is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken. It wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don't know what they want." - grey's anatomy

I just want to share you something from my friend/teacher. No matter how much we deny what she wrote is true :)

From Maje:

silence is overrated

at the end of the day we just want to be with someone.

there are times when we are pushed into doing things we would never have done or believeing into things we never would have dreamed about. we say we value our space and we try to make a circular rule about us that never should be crossed by others. Invasion of privacy, keeping our defenses high ... but really some days i think its all crap.

but the truth is when were done with work, when all the pressure subside, when were left by ourselves beside brief moments before and after sleep, when we have that satisfying brew, when we have a chance to watch the rain, when we hear a great song, when we see a good view of the moon, or manage to catch the perfect sunrise, when we actually get high or low ... we just really wanna share it with someone. Honestly.

bottom line is we just want to stay close with someone.

right now ill say what i want because personally, i think, silence is overrated.

Ill be Back soon....

And It finally happened... Im resigning from my current job to transfer to another... hahay! I'll miss this job though... :(

Another weird dream last night...

Was in a car accident. On top of a mountain, brakes don't seem to work... Fell off the mountain but didn't even have a scratch on my body! weird

After a month, here's an update again. Now hows work? hahah Fun Fun Fun! How's me? hahaha new look and new hair just yesterday! hahaha surprise surprise for all of u tomorrow :)

I was thinking that once I'll start working I'll be bored or that I'll hate it. But then I was wrong as of now work just feels like going to school. The only difference is in school you can see a lot more people...(friends youknow what I mean hahaah)... :)

Sige sa adto nako... adto sa ko sm....

I keep having this dream. Me swimming. Swimming In the ocean or diving or snorkelling but once I was on a bridge and I fell into the ocean but wasnt afraid all of it I was laughing hmmm Whats with this swimming thing?

I'm counting the days left of me being a bum. part of me is excited part of me I duno.. there's still a part of frustration in me but lookig forward to the Hot :) New info... we have the same types of music wahahaha

The Short Excitement

I was taking an exam for Accenture, a company based in Manila, and wahaahha because of my talkativeness and lack of seriousness to the exam I passed. huh? passed? yup, passed as they said. I was offered a Job but BAM! I can't go to Manila. I'm not allowed to go to Manila. As much as my parents say that It's up to me... after saying this they still shove to me those unasked comments... same thing as saying ur not going. Well. this caused a big fight on one of the meals at home haha

Everyone I know who passed is going. Oppurtunity is at hand already imagine only more or less 20 are offered out of the 600+ that applied but I can't go.

Well to keep myself happy and to stop thinking about this op, Im placing it inside my mind that I can't survive living in Manila. If I go to MAnila life would be difficult,I don't know anyone from Manila even relatives, I'm the only girl among the people I know who has the option of working there so hmm loneliness no girl talk, all my paycheck would just go to the high cost of living there and most of all I'll stick to my offer here in Cebu wherein I have a gorgeous boss. But if everything doesnt work out people from accenture offered me the option that if ever I changed my mind I can still call them. hahay

But I think Its true... I'll have difficulty adjusting to life in Manila. Living on boarding houses or rented apartments and sharing a place with I duno how many ppl... big adjustment

I have a brand new niece! wahaha brand new shouldn't be the word since its not a thing but basta a new addition.

Gone are the days of choosing jobs hahaha "I think"......

hahaha its 2pm and im bored at home. Still jobless but just declined a job offer 4 hours ago. (I'm glad that they told me that if ever i reconsider within 6 months they'll still accept me though :)) hehe why? hahaha I know I'm crazy for already declining two job offers and here's my answer hahaha Steve Job's Speech listen to it.

Maybe I require a lot more time to think. I just couldn't make up my mind hehee

29 out of 65 hahahaa

In exactly 96 hours, I will be grilled... charcoal broiled....

After keeping myself busy, I have regained my rest and extracurricular activities at home on the past two weeks. And in about 12 days yippeeee, i'll be done with my OJT at long last I can wake up late oops wrong! I can sleep again after i wake up early. For those of you who don't know, I have this habit of waking up early, its like inate in me that I wake up at around 6:30 to 7am, and if possible i sleep again at around 930 or something.

Now, I would have the time to lock myself up in the gym and get myself ready for summer wahahaha.

Graduating is nice but preparation for graduation is such a hassle. I was hoping if it would be possible to graduate without marching. But I just read the memo a particluar word was purposedly and specifically emphasized "should". Marching isn't such a big problem if there weren't dress codes and if the place we would march on wouldn't be that hot!

I just realized I'm that confident to graduate, to think i still have a defense by the end of the week. Wish me luck though.

P.S. in the office just killing idle time.
