Napaluto Lang...

Ang pagkain, parang libro lang. Minsan nakakahiyang sabihin. May mga taong mapapa- "whaaaat?" pag malaman nila na kakaiba yung trip mong food sa trip nila. Ipaparamdam na para kang alien na nanggaling sa ibang planeta. This is where we learn hypocrisy, the common option for us to feel we belong.

Sa mga pagkakataong ito, hindi ba pwedeng maging kakaiba? Can't we be real? Can't we respect each other's uniqueness?

May mga taong sobrang opinionated. Hindi natin binibigyan ng pagkakataon na maexperience ng ibang tao yung mga bagay, hindi natin naeencourage na mailabas nila yung creative side sana nila DAHIL inuunahan na natin agad ng sarili nating opinion. "Bakit ganyan, bakit ganun?" Unsolicited advice.

Minsan sa aking ojt, one of the staff cooked dinendeng. Parang ewan lang yung lasa. Parang hinalo halong gulay lang na nilubog sa sabaw na hindi maintindihan ang lasa. I did admire how everyone was silent and still ate generously, walang fuss. Walang nagsasalita ng patalikod. And during that time, we ate in one table, hindi kanya kanya. I really do admire them. Not all of them, but most of them.

One of the reason why I have never learned how to cook complicated food is, they've never let us cook to avoid wastes and mistakes. Why not if it's easier and more efficient when done by someone better? But it also shows their lack of patience and sensitivity. Yung mga sunog na kanin, nasobrahan sa alat, nagkamali sa pagkakasunud sunod, hindi man sila kanais nais pero part yun ng experience. First hand experience is still the best teacher, and mistakes is an inevitable part of it. Magkakamali at magkakamali tayo. Bakit hindi natin (nila) hayaang maranasan ng mas maaga yun, para habang maaga pa lang mas marami na rin tayong matututunan.

At naaalala ko pa din nung nag babalat ako ng hotdog, and the comment made me feel like, para magbalat lang ng hotdog (which is not a very complicated thing to do, at sa tinagal tagal ko ng nagbabalat at nagluluto ng hotdog) may mali ba sa ginagawa ko? Is there a general rule of thumb that I missed?

Palmolive Naturals | Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I've also experience a large amount of daily hair fall before but I wasn't able to figure out the real cause of it. It could be the shampoo, the stress, or a side effect of medication. This yellow Palmolive is meant for those who have hair loss problems. My mom was the first to hoard the shampoo when she saw it in the commercial.

Palmolive Naturals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo's specialized formula with Ginseng and Keratin extracts, nourishes hair from the roots to help prevent hair fall due to breakage. So hair is stronger and more beautiful. With a sensational and long-lasting fragrance experience. ~product description in the bottle

Palmolive Anti Hair Fall Shampoo

Price: 96.50 php
Their shampoo is actually a shampoo + conditioner in one but they also have a separate conditioner. Since it’s both a shampoo + conditioner, expect that the formula is different than a regular shampoo.

This variant of Palmolive lathers well but not excessively and not the squeaky clean type. While it lathers, the texture is already silky at the same time. It’s hard to determine whether the shampoo is already rinsed well because of that silky stuff. It’s great for the mane but it makes my scalp dry and unable to breathe.

A Fall in the Creek

It’s my dream to have a beach house or a house suited at the top of a mountain. My bf and I share that dream. Maybe that was what the owner had in mind prior to the construction of the private house that we had previously gone to. It was located in our province and not really far from the city but still it felt like I was transported in a different place. The landscape, the fruit farm, the coolness of the air, the remoteness of the area, they all contribute to the relaxation of mind. A good place to break free from the confinement of the busy metro life.

I didn’t take a picture of the house though. It’s still just a typical modern house, nothing really grand apart from it’s being on top of the mountain. I didn’t find a very irresistible angle that could overcome the awkwardness of taking a picture when no one else does. I’m a shy photographer except when I’m in the company of my selfie junkie friends/kins. And for me to enjoy travelling in different places, a souvenir photo is a must! That’s one of the few things I’m really after. So whenever I go out, I always silently pray That I'll be with a person with an outgoing personality and a sensibility to include me in the big picture.

But even in the most exquisite place, loneliness can still slyly creep in and steal the moment of reverie. Nothing can beat the melody of laughter of those important people in our lives. Maybe it’s just a point of view of an introvert person? Because I mostly find other people who loves getting around while ignoring other people who wants to be with them. I’m speaking of “a not that mutual feeling/attention” here. Imagine a grandmother patiently and silently waiting for her daughter or her favourite granddaughter to visit her or an old best friend missing her friend who prefers to spend time with her new friends and the likes.

And these, my friends, are my pictures of that day...

Recent Products and Hello!

Hello guys! Sorry for the MIA. Let's say, it's the effect of the aftermath of my long absence. Most of the drafts I’ve created remained unpublished. I want to blog but the environment I stays in doesn’t motivate me. I wish to live in a place that exudes positive energy and euphoria. Yung feeling na you don’t have the freedom to change something because you don’t own the place or the elders are against it. And since you can’t do/achieve that change, the “restless feeling” is always there. That kind of place doesn’t encourage growth.

It was the main culprit apart from my cravings of adventure. I want to make my weekends something I could really look forward. I want to enjoy life. Unfortunately, I find no enjoyment on both weekdays and weekends. Here goes the quote “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”.

But even though I’m gone, I continuously received different products from brands and my subscriptions.

Everyday I Love You 2015 (Movie Review)

I've asked my cousin yesterday to accompany me in the movie theater as usual. We were stuck between “Flotsam”, “Spectre” and this another tagalog romantic movie. Deciding between the first two movie was a real challenge. Yeah, I've crossed out the last one without even looking at the poster until my couz read the title of this tagalog love story. “Everyday I love you” he said. That was the only the time that I've noticed it was Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil, the Lizquen love team from Forevermore. Despite of not liking the sight of Gerald Anderson there, Liza Soberano was enough to convince me of buying a ticket for two. Thanks juices that my guy cousin, who is currently in love and was possibly influenced by that, agreed of watching a tagalog film.

Should I declare myself as a Lizquen fan? I love the Forevermore teleserye despite not being able to watch it religiously during its airing days. I've mistaken “Everday I Love You” to their first movie which is “Just The Way You Are”. Unfortunately, it was not available in our province. But EILY didn't fail to make me so super kilig including our companions inside the cinema.
