Taking pictures of oneself is like amateur lomography, meaning, out of 24 exposures, only 3 are acceptable. I like to do “stolen” shots of myself but I can’t do that if I’m the photographer too! So I usually depend on other people to shoot my profile pictures and it’s really hard not to look contrived [...]

Well I reverted back to not wearing my retainers. I got over the pain of wearing it but unfortunately the position of my teeth are more complicated than I’ve originally thought. The space between my 2 front teeth, which is called diastema, can’t be simply closed by wearing retainers. So here’s the dilemma… My lower [...]

I believe au naturel is still the best form of beauty. In the Philippines, it is accepted and common to go out or work without having make-up on. I believe that that makes us look younger than our age. We don’t put lots of chemical in our face hence our skin remains youthful looking. However [...]

While in Beijing, I had my hair rebonded. My sister recommended this salon she goes to. She gets a perfect straight hair (from a slightly wavy hair) and she looks like a Beijing native with her black straight hair.

Ok maybe you’ve seen this article in yahoo. But I just love posting  informative articles such as this because I’m so guilty when it comes to taking care of my health. Men’sHealth magazine wrote about America’s Worst Mall Foods (click here) and this is the gist of the article: Although this food are so affordable, [...]

With the bad economy recession right now, I just thank God for malls like 168. 168 is a big shopping building at the heart of Divisoria, Manila. It houses series of stalls peddling stuffs from clothes, accessories to household items at really low price. Most of the stall owners are Chinese and their ware hails [...]

My home-system tooth bleaching agent works! I’ve just started using Ultradent’s Opalescence Tooth Whitening Gel 5 days ago and I’ve seen my teeth whitened in just 3 days! Here’s the catch…I’m using the 35% concentration meaning it is a very high concentration that it can get too sensitive for the teeth. I don’t have any [...]
