Purina Ad? Anyone?

Grabe! Nagkadurog durog ang puso ko sa ad ng Purina...

Sobrang naiyak ako the first time I saw it (Magaling na bantay, wala namang bahay) yung sa aso na palipat lipat lang sa silong ng mga parked vehicles? And as if it's not enough! Meron pang muningning na nakikipagsapalaran ng tawid sa kalsada.

I hate that it's so true and I hate that I can't do anything about it, so sana kung hindi nyo pa nakikita yung ad at my balak kayong mag adopt sana mag adopt po kayo sa Purina o sa ibang animal rescue centers kasi talagang kawawa ang kalagayan nila. Mas matipid alaga ang mga askal at pusang kalye pero they will love you just as much. I should know I own a dog and 5 cats. Kung wala namang space at may extra money pwede tayong mag donate ng dog/cat food. Please help. It's saddens me how badly these beautiful animals are treated specially in our country. Sana talaga kahit 2 days lang magkapalit ng sitwasyon yung mga taong mean sa hayup nila. Hmp! Hehehe...

The greatness of a Nation & it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated.

Ngarag

I badly need some time for myself, I'm so totally tired... I need at least 3 days of "self time"! I need to catch up on my reading, I need to get some Vitamin D, I need to just walk and rest without worrying that I'll oversleep late for work. Ngarag na ako. Shet.

Marley and Me

I just bought the book Marley and Me today and I was checking out the pictures in the book (take note i haven't read it yet) and I'm already crying! We have our family for dog for 9 years now and we just adore him... It breaks my heart just thinking he'll leave us (Oh my Gosh! Huhuhu).

Since 4PM today I've read a couple of chapters and I can tell it's gonna be a good read. I cannot be "ready" for the gallons of tears that I'm expecting to shed though... Wish me luck.

I don't wanna watch the movie... I'll watch it on DVD. I'll read it first. So please don't spill hehehe...

Expected time of completion... Friday Feb 20.

Stereotype...

For yah!

Here it goes...

For the past couple of milleniums people have wallowed in self pity and repeatedly cried that break ups are sh*t, but why the hell do we get into relationships knowing that it can end worse than the last one?

I don't know, but I know it feels nice. I think falling in love is the closest humans can get to flying. Owkay! Mushy alert!?!

I get the inspiration from a friend (who will remain nameless, but i can tell you her name rhymes with warren!) before I proceed I want to say kudos to her and I'm hoping that she stays strong and please don't get back with him for the good of both of you.

So, how long should we cry over a failed relationship? Some say 48 hours then that's it. You're done, it's finish, move on. Unfortunately, I'm not one to hop in a bus with robots in it. Some say as long as you want... Again, I'm sorry but I do not intend to have puffy eyes for the whole of eternity. So how long? I apologize but me too doesnt have the answer to this million dollar question. I think we really don't get over a heartache, at least get over is not a term for it, for me it's more about understanding, you learn to understand what happened, it becomes clear to you why it happened and then you learn to be happy again. Just like the movie, we must pursue happiness. We learn to be our old selves again. We begin to see clearly and we pick ourselves up again ready for the next love to come.

See, We all had our share of bad break ups. We all swore to never love again but as impossible as we thought it was we find ourselves falling for a new guy. Hopeful. I think that's what make our hearts resilient. We do not lose hope that there will always be a time when we won't have to worry about parting ways with someone. I think we must convince ourselves of this, in order to keep our sanity during the tumultuous times of crying over coffee and making a map of dried tears in the pillow.

So, again, how long should you cry? I say... You shouldn't ever deprive yourself to shed a tear but you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to fight it from falling.

Bath and Beyond...

It's been a long while, what am I into these past few days of the New Year?

Long baths...

I'm a home buddy and I'm not into going out during my rest days so I just recently discovered a way to relax that suits me just right! I now enjoy long baths. Thank you very much.

I'm into milk baths right now. Anyway, it is sooo relaxing, even if it's cold nowadays it still feels nice to let lose and be in your own quiet place. You can bring your radio or your cellphone (IPOD optional, it's too risky, you may drop it blah blah) and play your favorite songs while you pamper your skin ALA Cleopatra.

It's just sad that so far the only milk bath product that I feel safe trying is Johnson's Milk Bath, all the others are either weird looking or comes in strong scent. I'm so sensitive to lavender and rose scent which are the usual aroma in Bath prods. I can't breathe and the little asthmatic girl in me comes to life again... Hehe.

I want a product that promises smoother (and fairer skin hmmm a plus?) minus the:

1. Korean Fonts.
2. Lavender or Rose (among others) scent.
3. Unknown brands.

It should be reasonably priced, I mean none of those 300 or less per 1000ml, if it's cheap, most probably it used cheap ingredients in it. If it's super expensive I can't afford it like (4k per 1000ml). Hehe.

So there, you can also try a long bath, you may like it. Instead of being kitten in the bathroom na super takot sa water na malameg. BTW, Don't and I mean DON'T you dare forget to apply the best lotion you can find after a long bath, because it can dry your skin, even if you used Dove or other products that promises soft skin, you know the ones that feel icky even after you rinse it with 100 galons of water?! When you dry up, you too will be as dry as a paper. So invest in a good lotion, moisturizer whatever you like. Just moisturize.

What else... Yeah take care of your hair. You don't have to go to the salon everyweek. Just take time to look beyond your regular sari-sari store shampoo and conditioner. Elseve is my personal favorite.

Hope this helps! Yey! Ciao!

Greetings to All

Have Joyous Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year to All!!!
