Bare Me Natural

Note: I’ll just share these good products I just discovered.

It’s been two or three weeks when I received my Barenaturals package which consists of the following main items:

  • Emu oil Skin Perfecting Soaps (2 Kabuki Extract and 2 No-Breakout-To-Makeup)
  • 50ml Emu oil (infused with Kabuki Extracts which I had for free, yay)
  • 50ml Purederm BB Cream
  • Power Mineral Lipstick
  • Natural Pink Lip and Nipple Gel (Hoho)
  • Seaweed Slimming Oil and Cocktail Soap for mother

I also received a generous amount of freebies such as 2 5ml jars of BB cream, sample blushes (with “s” as in maaaany), sample foundation, and sample soaps).

I read somewhere about the benefits of using emu oil and after some research, I landed on her site. I had problems with dry skin, calluses and hand/foot blisters, back and wrist pains, large veins and bedbug bites which I got on my former boarding house. Glad to find a local seller of such emu oils.

I actually replaced the moisturizer I’m using with emu oil because it’s honestly a remedy to my very dry skin problem. It is easily absorbed by skin which cleared my negative thoughts on using oil products on my face. I also used it on my feet blisters which appears very ugly and I’m very happy because it lightened now (thanks to the Kabuki extract mix I think). I’m not sure about the effects on my back and wrist pains but I hope it would work on me. I’ve been complaining about this since I started working. Regarding my bedbug bites, it lightened a bit but I also hope it would completely fade in time.

The skin perfecting soaps are very cute and smells soooo good. I love nice smelling products especially on hair care. I love these soaps because it doesn’t dry-out my skin even if it has whitening components.

The natural lip and nipple gel is supposed to be a secret but I just can’t hide it. I love it’s effect on my lips. Made it very supple and well moisturized. Chi actually said my lips lightened. Regarding the mineral lipstick, I love the menthol effect and the color just blends well on my skin. Hehe. I want to try the other shades too.

I thought Purederm BB Cream would be somewhat like a foundation but gladly it’s just sheer and blended well on my skin as what the seller stated on her site. I feel protected with its SPF 30.

I honestly love BN products, even the makeup freebies. They are just lovely and worth blogging. It enhances what you have without harsh chemicals found on almost all over-the-counter products. Next time I would be trying their makeup, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt my skin since they are all minerals.

myBots

Something to ponder:

How I hate my site to be “spammed” or populated by bots. On the other hand, my work includes creation of web bots.

It’s just annoyance for my blog and satisfaction for my senses.

Note: Just to clear things, the bots I’m creating are not used for spamming.

Aligaga

“Nasa huli ang pagsisisi.”

Sobrang totoo ang kasabihan na yan. Itanong mo pa sa lolo ko.

Hinding-hindi ko malilimutan ng traydurin ako ng Microsoft Visual Source Safe. Pauwi na sana ako, ilalagak ko ang natapos kong update sa isa sa mga ginagawa kong program at tsaka ko gagawing isang executable file upang mapakinabangan na ng mga makikinabang (sana meron). Maayos ang takbo ng lahat, uuwi akong may ngiti sa mga labi – sabi ko sa sarili ko. Ngunit sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, lumitaw ang tila ganitong mensahe sa screen:

There is a document with the same name under the same project. Do you wish to get latest the file from Source Safe? (Hindi sakto, pero malapit)

Aminado akong aligaga ako at atat ng umuwi. Bigla kong napindot ang “YES” button ng walang pagdadalawang isip.

Tsaka ko nalang napagtanto na pinatungan na ng lumang bersyon ang gawa kong bago. Sa madali at nakakabwisit na sabi – NAWALA ANG PINAGHIRAPAN KO!

Leksyon: Wag atat Gean. Sinong tanga ngayon? Wag ka manisi, hindi kasalanan ng VSS ‘yon. Stupid.

Binary

Tadaaa! I finally have the guts (and money) to buy a 1-terabyte external hard drive. I’m just so happy, I can’t hide it. LOL. I named him Binary since I bought it today – 011010 – binary numeral system, eh? Geek. So Binary is a My Book Essential Edition from Western Digital. This would be very useful since I have around 3GB left capacity on my HD, I can store a lotsa photos, tons tons of music and series (yay), movies, except.. uhm porn? Yeah, me no likey.

Now, ME = BROKE :D

Binary

This not exactly Binary, but it looks like him :)

OK gotta leave now. Backup mode.

Awesome 2010 Awaits!

Bagong taon, bagong pag-iisip. Simulan ang taon ng tama, wala ng sesyon ng Mamam para sa akin. Maglilinis ako ng katawan, kaluluwa at espiritu. Hehe. Matututo na akong magtipid at mag-ipon, habang bata pa ako at nakakapagtrabaho. Lagi na akong maglilinis ng kwarto (Wish ko lang!). Pag-iisipan ko muna bago ako bumili ng bagong gadget. Less impulsiveness, ika nga. Magiging masaya ako. Palagi. At mamahalin ko ang lahat ng meron ako.

Happy 2010 and Happy 3rd Chi Day!

3rd Chi Day

Oo Bagong Taon nung maging kami. :P

SELECT Query I

Slow:

SELECT a.main_id, a.source_id, a.docnum, concat(b.imagepath,a.filename) as image, a.location_id, a.valid, b.rider  FROM main a,  source b
WHERE a.main_id IN (SELECT main_id
FROM batch_d1
WHERE batch_id=?lnBatch) and a.source_id=b.source_id

Way Fast:

SELECT a.main_id, a.source_id, a.docnum, concat(b.imagepath,a.filename) as image,
a.location_id, a.valid, b.rider
FROM main a, source b, batch_d1 c
WHERE a.main_id=c.main_id  and a.source_id=b.source_id and c.batch_id=?lnBatch

Friendster Revamp

So Friendster has a new layout. Ang kikay infairness. Nice effort about the looks but how about the features? Hmm, kahit magbago pa ng layout yan, kung pwede pa rin maglagay ng glittery images wag nalang. HAHA. Facebook nalang ako and I prefer the Lite version. Wag lang sana pamahayan ng jologs. (evil)

I’m not a fan of just something in. I want fast, practical stuffs.

Physical Wellness

Paunang Salita: Kung kilala mo ko sa personal, hindi mo iisiping ako talaga ang magbablog nito. LOL. Girl talk.

Hindi man halata pero medyo conscious ako pagdating sa body grooming. Pero may exception ha, isang beses isang araw lang kasi ako nanunuklay- pagkapaligo lang. Hindi rin ako nag-shashampoo araw-araw kasi naninigas yung buhok ko – once a week lang. Pero kahit ganun, ang kinaadikan kong hair product ay mga mababangong hair treatments. Pampalubag-loob sa buhok kong hindi sinasabon araw-araw. Specifically ay ang Opal na kulay pink na nabibili sa mga Department Stores o sa Watson mismo sa halagang P130. Ambango-bango nun promise at pag yun ang gamit ko lagi akong may compliment kay Chi. Yahuu!

Hindi ako singkinis ng (insert makinis na prutas) at simputi ng singkamas. Pero mahilig ako sa body scrubs na mababango ulit at may whitening chorvah dahil nangangarap din naman akong pumuti pa. Gusto ko rin yung malalagkit at malalamig sa katawan. Ang sarap kaya ng feeling. :) Minsan nga gusto ko full body pamper e. Wala lang panahon.

Naiinis na ako sa buhok ko sa UA gawa ng pag-aahit ko halos araw-araw. Kaya isang linggo ko siyang pinatubo at naisipan kong dalin sa body salon. Ang ipapagawa ko sana ay waxing kaso inirekomenda ng receptionist na subukan ko ang threading. Tiyak masakit pero masakit din naman ang waxing kaya why not give it a try. Sinubukan ko at putek ang sakit nga. HAHA. Hayaan ko na, makinis naman siya ngayon at next time hindi na talaga ako magsshave kundi gagamitin ko na religiously ang cold wax kit na binili ko dati.

Nagpagupit din ako, nagpafull bangs. Gusto ko magpacellophane kasi matagal tagal ko na rin yun hindi nagagawa, magdadalawang taon na kaso nanguripot naman ako. Bumili ako ng bagong sunblock (Myra E) kasi feeling ko hindi ako hiyang dun sa Ponds na binili ko 2 weeks ago. Bumili rin ako nung Garnier na Eye Roll-on na hindi ko maramdaman ang epekto kasi according kay Chi, wala raw akong mapaggastusan ng pera ko. LOL bolol.

May mga panahon talaga sa isang babae na feeling mo panget ka. Bad hair days. Bad skin days. Bad mood days. Bad over-all days. Pero ang mahalaga, sa mga panahon na yun ay bigyan mo ng quality time ang sarili mo. Magself-pamper ka kahit wala kang pera. Magbasa ka ng libro kung yun ang makakapagbigay sayo ng kapahingahan. Matulog ka. Kumain ka. Ipahinga mo utak mo paminsan-minsan.

Wala lang. Ang sarap mabuhay. :)

Bubuwit

Takot ako sa daga.

Oo, papiliin mo na kung ipis o daga – sa ipis nalang ako. Di ko alam kung bakit pero kapag nakakakita ako ng daga, di talaga ako mapakali. Wala naman akong phobia o kung ano man na trauma simula pagkabata pero takot talaga ako.

Minsan isang gabi, nagbrownout sa Philam Homes kung saan ako nagboboard. Nagising ako, hindi dahil mainit kundi dahil sa ingay ng mga bubuwit. Hindi lang yata siya isa kundi sa aking kalkulasyon, tatlo sila na palakadlakad sa gilid ng sofa bed na hinihigaan naming magkapatid. Di ako mapakali kaya kahit pagod na pagod at antok na antok ako, lumabas ako ng kwarto at dun nagpalipas ng oras sa sala.

Dalawang oras lang halos ang itinulog ko.

Mapagtitiyagaan ko ang kasambahay kong pangsbaho ngunit ang mga daga ay hindi. Kaya’t napagdesisyunan namin na bumalik sa dating gawi na uwian araw-araw. Ok, may bad sides pero ang good side ay – buhay ulit ang Byahilo Series. Yay! :)
