Pinoy Big Brother





Minsan ko lang mapanood ang Pinoy Big Brother pero aliw ako talaga kagabi when the boys entertained the girls for the Girl's Night Out. Kakatuwa yung dance number nila. Hahaha! :) Ang kulet! Akala ko naka underwear lang sila yun pala naka shorts sila. Bigla ko tuloy naalala si Megan, yung nahulog siya sa bola the other day, when they were playing the human bowling. Ang arte kasi, ano kaya ang style ng buhay niya nasa loob lang siya ng bahay nila, di siya pinalalabas? I wonder bigla, meron pa palang ganun???? So I thought para siyang si Paris Hilton na richie girl na walang alam gawin hundi mag-makeup at mag pose sa camera.
Speaking of Pinoy Big Brother, I remembered Rizza Santos hawig siya ng cousin ng husband ko. Here I posted their picture, do they look alike? Plus Amgirl pa itong cousin ni Irwin, they speak the same pa. Haay, sana pag nagka-anak ako ng girl kasing ganda ni Tawny at Riza Santos.

Our Friends from OZ


Ninang Irene, Mam Cecil, Ethel and Leo, Me and IRwin


This is a picture taken during Ethel and Leo's visit to the Philippines last September, kasagsagan ng ZET scandal sa Pilipinas. Their love story is almost like a prayer come true. Maybe if you are almost 30 something and still not married, mag worry ka din diba? Then suddenly biglang may pinadala sa iyo si Lord, wow! Hanep ang galing ni Lord. A love that you cannot imagine, a partner na mabait that takes all your blues away.
Mam Ethel was my boss during my IT days, dalawa lang kami sa department namin and I was a witness to their love until they got married. We were married the same year, 2005. Pero nauna sila becoz they have to go to Australia. After two years they were able to visit again. I got a very nice pasalubong from them, I got a thermal bag na color pink and silver, Irwin got a boomerang, authentic Australian boomerang crafted by aborigines or natives of Australia.

Ay ang mga Pilipino talaga, di pinatawad si Leo, ninakawan ba naman sa Clark! Grabe noh? Onli in the Philippines, hmm, maybe not kahit saang country naman ata merong pick pockets. Right? Pero sana ma-eliminate na ito.

She is my bridesmaid during my wedding and she is my sister-in-law,
Haay, I did booked Eddie Bruan for our makeup and look how wonderful her makeup is, so sobrang hinayang talaga ako kasi I did booked Eddie Bruan for my wedding di naman sila ang nagmakeup sa akin, yung taga ABS. Haay, tama na ang regrets.

This one naman is Diane, cousin nila. I was so cranky during the duration of the preps to the actual wedding kaya eto lang ang matinong picture, my gown was sira pa sira pa ang zipper, kaya I really wanted to rest after the wedding. yun pala I was pregnant na nung wedding, kaya siguro pagod ako lagi.
Anyways, the wedding was Ok kahit na si Diane lang ang coordinator, siyempre tumulong din kami and the rest of the relatives. There are some glitches, actually marami rin, pero kalimutan na lang ang lahat ng iyon.

iWhite Whitening Product

I am currently using the whole product range of iwhite from Korea, effective sya for removing blackheads and whiteheads, may one month na rin akong gumagamit, kaya lang dumadami ang pimples ko, sabi ni husband, baka raw dry ang skin ko, so we bought the moisturizer, ngayon I happen to check for the site ng iwhite, pero wala akong nakita, not sure talaga kung made in Korea nga siya. Baka naman iba ang name?


So eto, I will post the news from the online newspaper na nagtry na ng iwhite.

SKIN WHITENERS
BY DAHLI ASPILLERA

I am surrounded by dozens of relatives and friends, pre- and post-teens. Unlike of those generations past, this present generation seems to be getting more and more obsessed with skin whitening lotions. Is it because of the preponderance of deceitful marketing schemes of commercial products that promise but don’t deliver what they promise?

In the olden days, there were complimentary terms like, kayumangging-kaligatan, translates to the very desirable "olive" complexion. This was preferred to the white, Caucasian skin. This is a darker shade of the mediterranean skin. Most flattering when applied to the Filipina complexion.

UNTV had a dermatologist on. The female moderators of "What’s up Doc" wanted so much to learn how to maintain white, fair skin despite the tropical sun during sunny days. The major concern of these female broadcast journalists should have been more on skin cancer or ultraviolet rays on the retina. But having white skin was the expressed main concern.

These women reminded me of a young niece who asked if she should bleach her skin whiter like all of her friends are doing. My reply to my niece, and my message to the white skin-obsessed females at "What’s up, Doc":

If you’re born with beautiful features; your eyes sparkle from inner happiness and goodness, you can be shades more brown, and you would still be good-looking and desirable. We all have seen some really homely white-skinned Caucasian women, and their white skin did not help their appearance.

I lived in the Caribbean in South America. It was there where I saw some of the most beautiful women with perfect world-class facial features, and they were all had dark mahogany-skin. Some of them shaved their heads to show more of their profiles, faces, good skin. Bald and oh so beautiful!

I asked my niece if she thought I would look better "if my skin were two shades whiter. Do you think I’d be uglier if my skin were a few shades darker?" She answered no to both questions. I think I made her realized that lighter or darker skin really has nothing to do with looking good.

That ended the need to bleach, to dangerously whiten the Filipino skin which these TV female personalities seem to be endorsing–the whiter the better.

Recently, I counted more than a dozen whitening products in the drugstore shelves. I wanted to put one to test to make a case. I bought (P140.00) a tube of the product "iWhite Korea."

On the tube reads: Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturing Cream with Mulberry and Panax Ginseng Root Extracts Plus Green Tea Leaf Extract. Light Cool Soothing Oil-free. Bio Nanotechnology. 1.76 oz (50 g.)"

On its skin-whitening capability, it claims, "The perfect combination of Mulberry Extract to shiten shin discoloration, Green Tea Extract and Vitamins ACE to protect skin against cellular damage and premature aging. Aloe Vera and Vitamin B5 for elasticity and firmness of the

skin plus emollients makes iWhite Aqua Moisturizing Cream the ideal choice for all skin types."

I applied the cream on the left side of my neck, shoulder and arm morning and night after showers. I’ve been doing this for about 50 days now. It is evident that there is no chance at all in color, shade, or texture between my left neck and shoulder and my right side neck and shoulder.

If iWhite has been ineffective after 50 days of twice-daily application, then there must be nothing to it. If iWhite is so ineffective, why is it doing a booming business enriching the Bio-cosys Corporation of San Juan? Doesn’t the BFAR or Dept. of Health worry about ineffective drugs allowed to stay in the market?

Shopping Day Today

Ang haba ng bakasyon, sana pala I went to Pangasinan to visit my dead relatives, kaya lang diba it was so hot last Nov 1, ang init sobra. Nagpunta na rin tuloy sila sa Baguio at Hundred Island. Haay, sayang, okey na rin.

So ngayon, after staying in the house for so many days, nag shopping na lang kami ni Irwin. I bought, a blouse, an anion pantiliners and a shades from Bayo. Cute nga ng shades ah. May nabili pala akong pouch bag din from Egg.
Etong Anion na pantiliners, sinadya pa namin sa Starmall because direct selling ito, hindi nabibili sa supermarket or department store. Popularly known as Love Moon, eto yung napkin na pwede mong gamitin ng isang buong araw. Meron siyang negative ion that would absord all the positive ions, positive ions parang mga free radicals in your body. Nakaka-alis ng dysmenorrhea, at pms if you have your period. I bought the pantiliners, 30 pieces costs 190.00 pesos.

This is the shades I bought naman from Bayo. Naku, I tried to wear a similar shades na pinahiram ng sis ko sa Tagaytay, when I smile umaangat, eto rin umaangat, pero I tried to practice smiling na hindi sya aangat. hehehe. It comes with a very durable and sleeky case.



This is what I bought from Egg, sale ito, dating 245.00 naging 100.00 na lang. So why not buy, cute lang, mura lang.

So before we tried to shop, kumain muna kami.
Everytime we go to Hypermart we always buy yung tempura with rice na 69 pesos, at saka FutoMaki costing around 55, plus kanina sa Megamall meron din nun, at may bago sila yung calamares na binebenta sa kalye meron na sa loob ng Megamall, 15 pesos, 5 pieces ang galing. Nakakatuwa, same price din siya nung sa kalye, pero ito mas malinis.


Tipid kami kasi we will have to pay for the stud service ni Cassie bukas, 2500 rin yun.
Haay ang Cassie, naghahanap na ulet ng lalaki, in heat kung baga.
Ganun pala, fertile sila looking for a mate,
para ring tao.

False Pregnancy

Pseudocyesis also known as False Pregnancy, can cause many of the signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy, and can resemble the condition in every way except for fetal presence. Other names include - spurious pregnancy, feigned pregnancy, imaginary pregnancy, hysterical pregnancy, phantom pregnancy and grossesse nerveuse ("mental pregnancy"). John Mason Good coined the term pseudocyesis from the Greek words pseudes (false) and kyesis (pregnancy) in 1923. False pregnancy is common in many mammals and is a method of providing milk for the group's offspring, most often cats, dogs, and rabbits.
From Wikipedia.com

Well, kakatapos ko lang manuod ng Bad Couple, it is a Korean comedy drama, tapos yung lead actress single siya na gusto niyang magkaroon ng anak pero ayaw nya ng asawa. Nakakatuwa because she has to find the best sperm in the whole of Korea so when she finally found the man, she deviced some ways para magkakilala sila at mabuntis siya nito. Hahahaha! Pina-inom niya ng tonic drink, siguro para yung Rhino na binebenta sa Watson at drug store. So iyon, may mangyari sa kanya, tapos after a month nag pregnancy test siya, nagkaroon siya ng hallucination na buntis siya, when she looked at the preg test. Hehehehe. She had similar symptoms of being pregnant except wala siyang baby, from being napapagod, nasusuka, weight gain etc. Pero after a month, nagka period siya, gulat siya tuloy.
Kakatuwa, as for me, gone are the days when I think na pregnant ako, pag nadelay ang period ko, magkaka-anak ako kung magkaka-anak ako. Basta, bahala na si Lord.
