My Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Experience

I used to have a very frizzy and dry hair. I had it treated for a couple of times and the magic would just last for a while. I really needed a hair companion, I told myself. 

Good thing, Belle De Jour had this very enticing survey in which after you finished answering it, you'd have an awesome gift from them. And guess what? They sent me a Pantene 3-Minute Miracle sample on the eve of Valentine's Day.

I actually took a photo of before and after use of this miracle thingy, for others to see that it would really go phenomenal after usage (haha! just kidding).

I was really ecstatic upon opening this conditioner. It might be a simple conditioner to other women, but for me, it's something I was looking forward to use. The fragrance made me kilig to the extent that I enjoyed rinsing my hair. As I washed my hair after, I had the same feeling of going out from a salon. Seriously, I was more than contented when I was combing and touching my hair after. Guess what, it lasted for hours. I didn't mind flipping it away and let others smell my fragrant hair.☺

I have just met my newest hair companion! yeeeey!

To sum it up, I could say that miracles do happen, even in our hair. Indeed, a #PanteneMiracle #MakeMiraclesHappen. Thank you Belle De Jour and Viviamo, Inc. for this wonderful Valentine's Day present ☺.

My First Nail Design...

It's been a while since I had my nails painted by myself... And since I was inspired by one of my favorite local football clubs (Global FC), I decided to paint my nails with their themed colors: blue and yellow... I searched for simple designs on the net, so I can easily paint these cute nails of mine... Luckily, I got a design on mind --> half-yellow, half-blue but paint it diagonally. 

Actually, my friend helped me to paint my nails... So, thanks a lot, Jhove :)



Easy steps to follow, which may interest you to paint your nails too.. 


1. With the help of scotch tape, put this tape diagonally so you can paint your nails in diagonal positions like the one you see below...

 This is how Jhove painted my nails with scotch tape on it (in diagonal position)...

This is how the half-blue looks like after being painted...

As you can see, half-blue in diagonal positions... Excited to see its mix with yellow color?

2. With the help of some paper or cardboard, or any you prefer, cover the half-blue part so you can easily paint the other half without overlapping the color. But of course, do this part once the blue nail polish has already dried up on all you nails. Okay?

This is how you're going to put the paper. Be sure that once you're painting, it won't be that messy.

3. Don't forget to put colorless nail polish so it will not be easily messed up as days gone by. I can also say that colorless nail polish will make your nails look classy!

4. Yiiiihaaaa!! You have your simple nail design with you..... (^_^)! Look at the photos of my masterpiece below!!

Look how simple yet creative design I made with my nails... 

Thanks to my sponsor, OMG Nail Polish! (^_^) 

AND NOW, SAY HELLO TO MY VANITY PORTION 

FEATURING MY FIRST NAIL DESIGN!!!!

You can try other colors that suit your interest..  Just enjoy what you're doing and believe me, you'll gonna love the result...


And since this is my first time, I'll promise to try other nail designs once I have the courage to do it by myself.. Seriously, it's easy but difficult.. For those nail painters, you know what I mean hahaha!

'Til next time... CIAO!

Never Say Die, Kabarangay!

Karamihan sa atin ay ipinanganak nang sumusuporta sa Ginebra, mula man 'yan kay Jaworski, o sa era nina Bal David, Noli Locsin, Marlou Aquino, Vince Hizon (sila ang pinaka-paborito ko sa panahon nila), o 'di kaya naman sa henerasyon nina Mark Caguioa at JayJay Helterbrand (siyempre para sa mga ipinanganak bago mag-milenyo).

Titili, sisigaw, makikipag-away sa kabilang koponan (trash talk para sa ilan) para lang maipakita ang pagsuporta sa nag-iisang Ginebra. Nagpalit-palit na rin ng pangalan. May mga manlalaro na ring dumating at lumisan. Nakisaya sa bawat tagumpay. Nakidalamhati sa bawat pagkabigo. 

Ganyan ang buhay ng isang die-hard Ginebra Fan... hindi iniiwan ang team hanggang sa huli. Isinasabuhay ang kasabihang, "Never Say Die" hanggang sa huli.

Sa kabila ng pagiging isang tapat na kabarangay, kalakip nu'n ay kung papaano tatanggapin ang mala-basketbol na pangyayaring nagaganap sa team. May magagandang balita at mayroon ding hindi. Tungkol man sa player, sa coach o sa mismong team, lahat ng fans ay talagang apektado sa mga nangyayari. 

Tulad ko, maraming beses na nag-sirko ang emosyon dahil sa makailang ulit na pagbabalasa ng mga players ng Ginebra. May mga pagkakataong humagulgol ako dahil ang ibang players na hinangaan ko sa pinakamamahal kong team ay na-trade sa ibang koponan. It's a truth and I was never ashamed that I shed tears to the players I've been supporting to while they're still with my favorite team. Gayunpaman, hindi ibig sabihin nu'n ay iniwan ko ni minsan ang Ginebra dahil lang sa isang player. Patuloy man ako sa pagsuporta sa karera ng isang naturang player subalit hindi ito nangangahulugang nilisan ko na ang balkonahe ng barangay Ginebra. Alam kong ganyan din ang pinagdadaanan ng marami sa atin. Aminin man natin o hindi.

Tandaan natin na ang isang manlalaro ay isa lamang sa mga miyembrong bumubuo ng isang koponan. Ang koponan ang mismong minahal ko, natin, mula noon hanggang ngayon. Maaaring malaking kawalan ang isang manlalaro sa Ginebra pero hindi ibig sabihin nu'n ay tuluyan na tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa na mamayagpag ulit sa ere ang pinakamamahal nating koponan. Maraming dahilan kung bakit nagaganap ang mga pangyayaring ito. Alam natin iyon. At ang gusto ko lamang ipabatid sa lahat na ang pagiging isang die-hard supporter ay masusukat hindi lamang sa bawat panalong tinatamasa natin, kundi pati maging sa bawat pagkabigong nararanasan ng ating team.

May ilang hindi nakakaunawa ng hirap ng pagiging isang die-hard supporter. Mahirap talaga! Mahirap dahil sa bawat panalo natin ay kalakip ang isang malaking ekspektasyon na magtutuluy-tuloy ang magandang ipinapakita ng team, lalo na ng mga manlalaro. Mahirap din na sa bawat pagkatalo o hindi naaayong desisyon mula sa management ay alam nating maraming sisihang nagaganap. Nagkakaroon din ng iba't ibang negatibong kuru-kuro, na kadalasan ay nauuwi sa mga walang katapusang argumento. 

At pinakahuli, mahirap dahil hindi mo alam saan huhugot ng lakas para masabi sa sariling, "Pagsubok lang ito. Mahal ko ang team ko. Never say die lang dapat tayo."
