Results

It was just a month ago when i started treatment at Facial Care Center and it seemed there's already a noticeable difference as two person already complimented me saying my skin has improved! Hah...

Of course, I am vain enough to say I am happy. Not deliriously happy, just happy. But I really think that the Garnier whitening toner, Garnier Whitening Facepowder as well as the Maybelline AngelFit Natural Flawless Foundation contributed to my improved facial condition.

I should have taken a before and after photo. Oh well, if my officemates and my Boss says so, it must be true! Anyways, make-up will always help but using the right products will make it more believable!

For hubby

Just recently, i came across this song by One Republic which I like very much to the point that i have been playing this on youtube everyday, in the background of course. It says all the things i wanted to say to you. I know you come home everyday to me and to our children, but I need you to COME HOME...

I am Bidamholic

Yes, I am a Bidamholic.  If  you even recognize the term and you came to this page searching for anything about Bidam then you have found a kindred spirit. 

Why did I became a fan of Kim Nam Gil? I was one of those who used to wonder what people saw in korean actors and actressess.  Now I know that it's primarily because they love the stories that koreans make and specially the characters within those stories.  Of particular interest of mine is Queen Seon Duk shown in GMA7's telenovela series.  Having watched a few episodes in tv, i got hold of the complete dvd set and watched QSD on marathon.  That's when i got hooked on the character Bidam as portrayed by Kim Nam Gil.  I suppose, that credit should be given to Kim Nam Gil for researching and creating a manga like character which viewers can really identify and love regardless of the darker side of his character. Maybe, i just love the fact that he just love to love QSD and his country doesn't matter to him if QSD is not there.  As Mishil said, a truly simple person others would like to trample on.  Other men have grander ideals like those of Yushin who dreams the same dream with QSD that of unifying the 3 kingdoms and as such love to him is secondary to love for country.  With partners like that, you learn to accept that you're second priority. I suppose deep inside, i want to be love as Bidam loved QSD. Hayyyy....

All in all, QSD is a well-prepared korean historical drama. The life of the first woman ruler of Shilla would probably have been as tumultous and as colorful as have been portrayed on film. Kudos to the director and the staff for giving us insight on the culture and traditions of ancient korea as well as introductions to their ancient heroes.  Indeed, I do love QSD and his valiant men Yushin, Alcheon, and Bidam.

Facial Care Center

I am in my late 30's and well i have become not vain but rather conscious of the fact that i already have very visible wrinkles in the face as well as discolorations brought about by my recent pregnancy to ann margaret. And if truth be told, you see a lot of younger,beautiful, intelligent women around who don't seem to possess the moral values necessary to stay away from somebody else's husband and so, but it takes two to tango.


Anyway, i went to facial care center and see what they can do to improve my skin. Apparently, there's a lot that they can do and it is also very expensive to somebody like me who has limited means. To make my story short, i was able to find a beauty package which is affordable in the sense that it was charge to my credit card and payable by installment at 0% interest. I have to see if what they advertise is true.

So they suggested that i use the REPECHAGE OPTI-FIRM skin firming series for me. These products along with regular salon treatments promises renewed skin firmness, smoothness and younger looking skin. The clinically proven results revealed a 21 % increase in skin firmness both superficially and integrally, 12 % increase in skin thickness and density and 36.6% decrease in superficial facial lines.

The products are the eye-contour, a night cream renewal complex, day cream lift cream spf 10, a revitalizing cleanser, toner along with a facial scrub and a twice a week mask.

Ordinarily, I would not be the type to indulge in these vanities but i suppose i felt deprived during those months of pregnancy and somehow it is uplifting to the spirit to be beautiful and pampered.

Let's see if there will be an improvement.
