Flawless Introduces Cell Booster Infusion Mask

It seems there's no stopping Flawless, the country's preferred clinic for face, body and medical services, from dominating the local beauty arena. Still hot from the successful launch of the country's first affordable stem cell-based product line, the brand now marks another milestone with the introduction of its most advanced facial treatment - Cell Booster Infusion Mask!

"We're really proud of this new facial as it is set to once again raise the bar for anti- and preventive-aging treatments in the country," starts Rubby Sy, CEO of Flawless. "In a nutshell, Cell Booster Infusion Mask is designated to perform two main functions: one, to combat the effects of and protect the skin from destructive free radicals that we encounter every day; two, to rejuvenate and improve our skins' cell architecture by nourishing it and encouraging the tissue regeneration process."

The science used for Cell Booster Infusion Mask allows it to deliver essential nutrients to the skin at cellular level. Using an advanced cellular repair hydrogel mask which contains highly concentrated essence of cell-activating nutrients, it promises to increase the skin's elasticity, minimize pores and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while giving the skin an undeniable glow. According to Sy, the technology for hydrogel is innovative in that it coagulates nutritious substances into a gel format and delivers active ingredients into the skin by reacting to the skin's temperature rather than the air. It also leaves the skin feeling cool, fresh and invigorated.

"We fell very lucky to have been able to bring this one-of-a-kind technology to the country," shares Sy. "Flawless is very proud of the fact that with this new treatment, the brand is once again able to fulfill its promise to consistently bring medically-sound beauty solutions closer to Filipinos without the Class-A prices."

Morning Lark or Night Owl?

If I were to choose between these two, I'd say I'm defo a Night Owl! I can stay awake all night, I just love the coolness of the night because it's so freakin hot in the morning, the blaring light of the sun is such a pain to my eyes! I know what you're thinking, you probably think I'm a freakin' vampire, but NO! I'm just not a morning person. Remember this, In the morning, I don't EXIST! But there are times when I really have to wake up in the early light of day because of school especially during high school when class was as Effin 7:30 in the morning! In my college years, my butt is still sound asleep during those times. I only choose classes that start at 9:30-10am as much as possible. 

I don't know how some people can manage to wake up in the wee hours of morning around 3am. I can't believe how these people can live like that, they must be programmed that way somehow.

I remember how I would usually have headaches and fatigue if I wake up too early. It's so annoying! Especially when I'm at home since we don't have aircon in our new house and the heat would just wake me up at around 7am as well as the super bright light! I HATE IT SO MUCH! I can't begin to describe how annoying this is! Mostly my father would also forcibly wake us up at around 8am to eat breakfast together while saying that it's not good to wake up late. What if I get banging headaches if I wake up early, does that do me any good???? NO!!!! It just gives me fatigue.. 

Why can't people just leave me at peace when I'm sleeping.. Good thing I'm living in a dorm now where I can wake up and sleep at my own accord. Usually when there's no class I'd wake up at around 10am then clean the room and take a short nap in the afternoon! Ha! Heaven.. No more people annoying me and hounding on me while I'm sleeping! You probably see this as why would someone make such a big deal over sleeping right? You see, Sleeping is my favorite past-time and how would you feel if you get sleep-deprived? I bet you'd feel grumpy as well..

You might think I'm lazy but I'm really not, why don't you ask my previous supervisors in the Hotel where I had my training before.. They clearly stated there that I'm hard-working and initiative.. It's just that I love to snooze off when times where I don't have to go to work or to school! I'm not lazy, I'm just madly in love with sleeping!

Eight-legged freaks!!

Can you believe what greeted me last night by the time I got inside my room?? One BIG and ugly spider!! It was a nightmare and I really did have a nightmare about it..

I tried killing it with a slipper because I can't bare the thought of sleeping with that intruder in the room. Good thing it was just in the restroom. Mostly we would get spiders or cockroaches in the room which I HATE so much! It's easier to get rid of cockroaches thought because I'd just have to turn the lights off and leave the outside light of the room turned on and it would just leave the room to follow the light. But it was different with spiders! They love the dark! The darker it is the better for them to hide under the things in the house! 

I was so scared and can't help but scream when I tried to smash it with the slipper because what if it would crawl to my arms and face!! ewww! it's just unimaginable! It was so creepy with its long black legs! disgusting piece of crap! 

I even had to use the other restroom just to brush my teeth and use the toilet! Can't believe that small yet ugly thing is making me use another restroom even thought I'm actually the one renting the room and that intruder is just scaring the shit out of me! So I decided to just close the door and sleep in case it would just go away. Much to my dismay, It still greeted me in the morning when I wake up. I decided that I couldn't live like this any longer so I bought a bottle of alcohol and got up in a chair in case in would run toward me. I don't care if I'd have to use up all the alcohol on it. I just want it DEAD! I sprayed the alcohol at the FREAK and it just ran all over the restroom hiding under the toilet but IT can't escape my wrath! I used up almost half of the bottle of alcohol and kept shouting "DIE you DIE you DIE!!"  then it was slowly dying. In finality, I sprayed some chlorine on it so that it would die for sure, after a few seconds it finally took its last breath! HA! that's what you get for intruding my room! Good riddance!

Paintball in Cebu

It was during Dwight's birthday and we were so excited to try playing paintball for the very first time. Their entrance fee was 20 Php and

300 php for 50 paintballs

200 for 33 paintballs and

100 for 17 paintballs

Since we were first timers and we just wanted to try for fun we started with 17 paintballs. Then we were briefed by one of their staff, then we were made to wear these camouflage outfits that make us looks like troopers and it was blazing hot inside because of the poor ventilation. Picture this, we were made to wear bullet proof vest, a jacket, a helmet, we felt like being entirely wrapped inside and I was sweating like crazy. I didn't expect that it would be like a furnace inside these suits. But it was fun since we had our own territories and we would protect our territory while finishing off the opponents at the same time. Looks like we're gonna need a strategy here, GENERAL. 

Heading for the shoot of the terminators... I kid..

Their setting was like that of an empty warehouse with vandals on the walls..

We really had fun playing and shooting at our opposing team, (For those who were hit: It's just a game, no hard feelings)

I got hit in my hand as well and it does kinda hurt, which caused my skin to get red and sore but it wore off immediately.

Mark, Daisy and Eason..

I'm really glad we had played paintball, I felt like a kid again running around and chasing after your enemies hhahahh and guess what? Our team won! Since we conquered their territory. hahahhah *evil scoff*

Swimming at Abellana Sports Complex

Yesterday we went swimming with Daisy at Abellana just to try out swimming there because the swimming pool is just so big and the inviting blue color is drawing us in.

In the most inopportune time, there were many swimmers practicing there when we decided to go for a swim after our summer class for the sake of exercising because of my scoliosis. When we got there dressed in our swimwear, we felt eyes on our back coming from those effin swimmers (can you just mind your own buisness?!) so annoying. Then there were like three people who kept on asking us where our swimming caps are. We were so annoyed because we just wanted to enjoy swimming and they kept bugging us. Hey, it's not like a swimming cap is necessary when you go swimming in other swimming pools, what would make this pool any different???!!! Those suckers! 

We didn't mind them though thinking they probably just want to mess around with some new faces, those *#%$tards! While we were swimming in the very warm waters (it's like a hot spring maybe because the people just urinated there or something!!) ewwww... There was this head swimmer who really went near us standing in front of me telling us the same thing all over again "we should rent swimming caps because blah blah blah!" I can't help but smile and deep inside I want to burst out laughing because while I was in the waters, he was outside the waters and standing in front of me sporting a body tight swimwear. I was there stopping myself from laughing because I was facing his balls since he was right on top of my face. HHAHHHAHHAHAH Like How am i suppose to take you seriously from this vantage point??!! He looked kinda hot though with the body of a swimmer but he was darkened by the sun. Still we decided to call it a day and we don't want to have anything to do with them just to avoid any fight. You know what, since you love your swimming pool so much why don't you just drink all the water so no stranger can swim in your territory. *%$holes!!! 

So we left.. Good riddance. Good thing we only paid 30 pesos for it.. we got 10 pesos discount since we had our school ID. 

I'm never gonna go back swimming there if I would still see their faces again, ever again!!!!

The Gift of Sight

Once, I saw a little boy riding a jeepney accompanied by his mother. This little boy apparently seems normal except for one thing, he was visually impaired. He was about a child of 9, a bit chubby for his age and had smooth skin. Then I felt a pang of realization of how we sometimes take our sight for granted and use it to see vile, useless and morbid things just to please us according to our whims and fancies. While a lot of people however are deprived of this gift with the causes of it i'm not sure of. It could be genetics, acquired from a disease or it may have been caused by an accident.



I tried closing my eyes as well to somehow put myself in the child's shoes. Then everything turned dark, the only color present was black. Black, black, black everywhere. How horrible it was to not see anything even when you can hear everything. It would be even worse if one won't be able to hear anything. Ugh, I'd rather die if that would probably happen. I would definitely lonely and sad without the gift of sight and hearing. It's as though I'm not living at all. Feeling and touching others but not being able to see and hear them. One is merely existing but not living at all, that would definitely feel so unfair.

If only there everything is perfect in this world, If only no one is born crippled, deaf or blind.
If only there are no insecurities, no fears, no hurts,
no selfishness, no killings, no robbing
If only there is no searing heat of the sun and weather cool and balmy all the time
and the skies are always blue and the clouds are colored pink just like cotton candy.
That would be such a pretty and wonderful world.

I'd dream for a world like that, that the blind may finally see the beauties of the earth- the colors, the expression on human faces, and just about everything and all the ugly details - ERASED forever!

IF only...

Happy 21st birthday to me!!

Look at what I got for my birthday given by my good friends.

A Tiffany & Co. Necklace!!!! Can you believe it that Ashley Ranises actually gave me this. So happy, I finally own a Tiffany jewelry.. oh my heart is filled with gladness!

Ashley also gave me a letter, some munchies and a book and my good friend Daisy also gave me a squishy round pillow. She told me she could be my pillow for me and all, so I can punch her freely when I'm mad and hug her tight until her eyes go out when I'm feeling happy and excited! hahhha.. 

Thank you so much for all the love-filled gifts guys, it sure made my day extra special. I really appreciate all your efforts and thoughts.

Weird Black Magic

The weirdest thing happened to me today.. allow me to describe the short story.

As I was riding the jeepney from SM Mall going to my school which is USC. I collected myself and sat down then there was this very bad smell. It smelled like a pig's dirt of some sort THEN out of the blue as I rested my arms on my bag there was black soil on the top part of my bag like magic. Just like that!

I was so shocked as to where that came from as I was the only person who had that black dirt. I thought somebody threw it to me from the back but no one did and my back didn't get dirty or anything.

Everyone was also shocked but just dismissed it nonchalantly after giving out my shocked and disgusted reaction. How weird. I mean that has never happened to me before and I just prayed after that hoping I'm not cursed or someone isn't bewitching me or anything and Yes, I do believe in that kind of crap. It's real alright.

Earlier that time as I was passing my fare to the another jeepney conductor, he somewhat pinched my fingers as he was receiving my fare and I don't know why but I just screamed "Agay" even thought it did not really hurt. Maybe I was "hilo" or something and I also forgot to tap him back so that the "curse" would not take effect. Okay, you can laugh at this kind of belief but this is really in our culture and it's so true and it's just so sad that some people actually practice black magic and witchcraft. Although what happened today doesn't entirely prove that it has something to do with black magic, maybe it's just my wild imagination but my speculation that I was bewitched is really so strong.

 

Galatians 5:19-21, NIV. "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; …drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."

But no worries I have an awesome God who will protect me from those bad elements. He is after all the great "I am". I am your protector, You Father, Your friend, You shield, Your comforter and everything else good and beautiful.

Why should I fear men or evil elements when God made the heavens and deep oceans right?

 

 

Danasan Eco Adventure Park with Friends

These are completely raw and unedited photos of our adventure in Danasan Adventure Park. You see, I like to keep my photos real as to give you a preview of what the actual view truly looks like. I can see on some photos how greatly edited it is that it may look beautiful but they somehow took out the realness of the picture's natural beauty. I'm not saying that we should not edit and just throw Photoshop down the drain. No, I'm guilty of editing some photos here and there to take out some bits of its flaws and very ugly parts but some people just overdo it. Such a shame it is that they make it seem TOO unrealistic. But enough with my tirade and let's get on to business.
 

Our souls are young and our spirits anew

 it's times like these when we want to break free,

change our perspectives and the way we see..

See the world with brand new eyes,

Eyes that beam and radiates our soul

 

For fate truly favors the bold

who dreams great things

of what the future may hold

 

Here's to the glorious days ahead

the happiness and love awaits

but nothing happens to the one

 who merely waits..

 

There we were riding the Shuttle on a 2-hour drive from Ayala to Danasan Adventure Park, but it was nothing near boring when you're surrounded with these guys, these people know how to have fun!

There's always something to say, something to laugh about when these minds are combined. On our way to Danasan, we were greeted with rough roads with lots of turns here and there, the cool temperature and the breath-taking views of the jagged cliffs with its lush green sceneries that can make you say "Aaaaah", "Woooow!". In my mind, I was a bit scarred imaging what if we fall down the cliff or something but don't worry that's unlikely to happen if you just follow the road and if you have a good manong driver to guide you.

 

 

If you want to have a closer look at the rates you can press Ctrl + to zoom in. For us we chose their Day Tour Package for P1200 with inclusion of:

 

-Shuttle Transfer from Ayala-Danasan / Danasan-Ayala

- Any 3 Activities (For me, I chose the Trekking and Waterfalls exploring, Rappelling and Tyrolean and the Wakeboarding with gears.

 

It was so much fun and it would really consume the whole day. We got there at around 10pm and finished at around 7pm. We were even kinda late for the shuttle. Anyhow, the staffs were very accommodating, we were given some hot 'Pinaig na Mais' for free and it was so good. It was my first time to taste that and I couldn't get enough of it. My friend got injured at the wakeboarding and their medical staff arrived there in a snap! I highly recommend their adventure park. You would not regret it especially if you have a fun gang like them. The experience will add up to your treasure trove of memories. Thank you guys for the laughs, chika2 and memories, more to come soon I hope!

Hey Ralph! Arte arte oh! di jud gnahan ma pitaan. hahahha

 

   

 

I never thought Tyrolean could make your hands hurt since you have to pull your own weight to reach the other end. It can really pump your adrenaline. It was a good heart-thumping when I tried the rappelling since it was my first time to try it and I was a bit scarred that I would fall off. Knowing that I'm so high up with the pressure of the waterfall crashing down my knees. It was a real adventure and so much fun

 

 

Daisy Rubin enjoying the Water Spa. hahahha It felt like being massaged by the pressure of the water rushing down on you.

 

Rosevie Taruc getting more connected with nature. hahaha. Lush green forest, jagged rock formations, the sound of the waterfalls and the deep blue-green waters, I could not ask for more for a cool and heart-pumping adventure.

 

 

It's not as easy as it looks as it can be quite a challenge on trying to stand on both feet with the Wakeboarding. Plus their waters taste so bitter and it was a bit muddy and brown, I guess it was because the water was not flowing since it was just artificially made making the waters stagnant. I do hope they can make it cleaner though.
