    Kerasys Hair Clinic System Review

    Finally! a BRAND of hair care products that works well with my hair and delivers it’s promise – REPAIR DAMAGED HAIR.

    Say hello to my new best friend – Kerasys!

    If I have to describe my hair texture in one word it would be “dull”. To me “dull hair” is a legitimate sister of “damaged hair” and believe me it is every woman’s nightmare.

    What went wrong?

    Once upon a time, I had one hell of a shiny, wavy hair until…I got myself successfully convinced by the strong message the billion dollar hair industry business created that straight hair is always Queen.

    And the journey to my lackluster hair began when I was just 15.

    Fast forward to 12 years later – Rebonding, hair coloring, blow dryers, flat irons – the evidence of their damage is very much present in my hair. I did try a lot of hair care brands but after not seeing any wow results, I have come into terms with the fact that there’s just no saving your hair once it’s damaged.

    Wrong! (insert Kerasys waving like a Miss Universe contestant here)

    When I first used Kerasys, I didn’t expect a miracle, but until now I cannot believe how their products can reverse the damage done to my hair.

    KeraSys is the no.1 brand of hair care in Korea formulated scientifically for repairing damaged hair.

    So what particular products from their hair care line am I using?

    1. Kerasys Oriental Premium Shampoo

    This shampoo helps to strengthen hair elasticity thus prevents hair breakage or loss. I use this everyday and have been noticing a positive difference in terms of hair shine plus I don’t see hairs falling out at all while taking a bath. The regular bottle is huge so it will last up to 2 months of daily use.
    The smell is perfect! not too light and not too overwhelming. Continue Reading

    MALDIVES – a piece of heaven on Earth

    Ahh! Maldives vacation! A piece of heaven on earth is perhaps the best way to describe The Maldives. Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean all the way to the Equator, Maldives has the bluest skies and brilliant turquoise beaches. The beauty of Maldives is truly spectacular, I’ll run out of adjectives to describe it.

    I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate my 27th birthday with a splash, a Maldives’ splash! I never thought I could travel to this beautiful place. It’s a big big item checked off of my bucket list…and i’m DEFINITELY coming back! I am also very grateful to celebrate this big time life experience with wonderful people closest to my heart.

    Allow me to take you take you in an oasis of tranquility and sheer bliss. Here are the highlights of my vacation to Maldives. Every spot is so full of wonderful surprises.

    The Taj Mahal ~ Love can be expensive

    Love can make you laugh and cry…and it can make you build the Taj Mahal. You’ll have to forgive me but the only expensive item I can give love is a branded T-Shirt.

    Incidentally, the Filipino term for Love is “Mahal”. Taj Mahal means “Crown Palace” or the “Place of the Crown”. It is a tomb built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third and favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. She died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begum.

    It took 23 years to complete this beautiful masterpiece and the overall design of Taj Mahal incorporates traditions of Islamic, Persian, Hindu and earlier Mughal architecture. The tomb is the central attraction of the entire building.

    We were not allowed to take a photo of the tomb, actually we were not allowed to take a single photo (while) inside Taj Mahal…so the next photo you will see is a product of someone violating the rule….lookie! sssh

    The long queue outside Taj Mahal….hey people, you waited for hours and you don’t get to take a picture inside.. trust me!

    Like many other places, Taj Mahal has its share of myths like – Shah Jahan got the hands of his sculptors and architects cut off so that they would never be able to build a monument as magnificent and beautiful as the Taj again and he even got their eyes pulled out so that they would never be able to witness anything bigger and more beautiful than the monument that they had built during their lifetime. (tajmahal.com)

    At least that is what historians have recorded and for whatever it’s worth I still have my hands….

    When Shah Jahan died, he was also buried in the mausoleum next to Mumtaz Mahal. At present, Taj Mahal is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World….AND…. I touched it hihihi.

    BORNeo This Way – Visiting Borneo

    I don’t remember holidays being spent inside my room. Ah that familiar feeling…when you’re looking for things to do, you’re bored and it’s a holiday season… and you just want a weekend trip to very  unfamiliar places.

    Well this time we went to Borneo….

    It’s a good thing to walk on an ancient path that has a rich spot in Philippine history.  If my memory serves me well, the early Filipinos migrated to the Philippines from  Borneo and Sumatra. I guess later on they have regretted that decision 😛

    So here I was, standing (posing) in smiles behind a big, big tree which I would like to call a pine tree.

     If there’s an advice I can give, one that I learned during this experience, it would be to “Never wear wedges inside a jungle”. It will hurt your feet and people would pity you.

    I’d like to stress though that at the time we went to Borneo, we had no fixed itinerary and literally don’t know where to go. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be “spontaneous” I guess.

    Another place that we visited at random was this oceanic island in the Celebes Sea. Continue Reading

    LIFESTYLE, OPERATION HAPPY VIBES

    Handmade with a Smile

    Yay. I had an opportunity to turn my passion into a FUN/Fundraising event here in Singapore.
    It’s wonderful that you can have a fun event and raise funds at the same time.
    The experience was humbling, rewarding, joyful, exhausting, and just wow.
    I’d like to thank Ate April, Joy, Michelle and my brother for their support in making my fundraising project happen.

    Allow me to introduce you to my new passion. Tadaaaan, handmade accessories!

    I always have a thing for “BOHO Chic” designs.  Bohemian styles simply look “timeless” no matter the decade…or let’s just say an accepted fashion trend of any given period. I can assure you that 50 years from now,  my designs  won’t look “pre historic” at all. Gahaha 😛

    Five weeks before the bazaar sked, I started waving my magic wand creating these sweet little pieces. I literally had zero after-work happenings and used my valid weekend-party-excuse-coupons for those five straight weeks. Letter E for Effort.

    All at insanely affordable prices….glad the people enjoyed shopping for charity.

    What did I learn from this experience? Continue Reading

    Happy Tears

    Today I received an unexpected gift….one that did not come wrapped in fancy paper.

    It’s a gift from the people who has made a positive difference in my life. Modesty aside,

    The opportunity to make a profound difference in a child’s life is the best gift I could receive.
    I know this doesn’t make me a superhero, it’s enough that I’m given a chance to put an additional rainbow in someone’s life. Thank you for touching my heart, it has grown so strong and happy. Thank you for your letters and drawings, they remind me of my life experiences.

    Happy tears 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Life is not a race, it really is about the journey.
    Work hard. Travel hard. Live well. GIVE back.

    While the word charity means many different things to many different people, nevertheless, GIVING  is always a good thing to do. If you’re considering “sponsoring a child”, do visit Save The Children website today. Put a smile on a child’s face and brighten up his future. A little help will go a long way. Happy Vibes 🙂
