wow it has been more than a year since i last posted here and my last post was all about my acne??? what the??!!!!

too much LOL


Day 108: Polka Dots & Eskinol


UPDATE (29/01/2014)
OK this is really funny. I wrote this eye-damaging post two years ago?! All about ACNE? wahaha...I don't know what I was thinking back then. Maybe I was trying to be all 'beauty blogger' or God knows what LOL.. anyways for anyone unfortunate to come across my blog just ignore this post haha..i just don't want to delete it as I obviously spent a lot of time writing it. Anyways in summary I don't have acnes anymore, thanks to Beauche although I do have pimples/dark spots again due to pregnancy :)





I gotta say... this summer should be considered as the worst summer ever in my whole life!!!


ACNE ATTACK! PIMPLE EXPLOSION! FACE DESTRUCTION!

I would never claim that I have a flawless skin cause I don't. My skin is somewhat oily but dry. I can't really explain it but for me that is the best description that I can give. I could also say that I am one of the lucky ones that don't really get pimples all over the face, or at least used to.

Everything was just fine. I have some tiny pimples on my forehead but nothing alarming. Until one day, that 'some' became 'so many' and I started to worry because they are now leaving dark pimple marks on my forehead and chin. Needless to say, being a kiti-kiti that I am, I went to a beauty salon and had my first facial in 2 years (heh). The lady who did my facial (what do we call her, a facialist?) told me right after my session that there would be 'break outs' in the coming days. I said 'OK' without realizing that it is going to be a massive break out! In short, after that facial session, my skin problem started to become worst. 

A boil-like pimple popped out on my forehead and 'twas really embarrassing especially that I work at the reception. I had to cover it with my side-bangs a little bit but I know that I was just making it worst, what with the natural oil in my hair and face, right?

Then I became really frustrated, I seek the 'BEST' solution in the world through..what else...Google! (haha). I tried everything that I think would 'naturally' heal my pimples or acne (arrrghhh). I think this has all started even when I did the 'virgin olive oil + sugar' regimen that I read on the net. It claims that it will give you softer skin but obviously it just irritated mine. But I don't learn my lesson very well, so as stubborn as I am, I googled what could be the best treatment with my skin problem.

I tried turmeric powder with lemon juice. It claims that by combining turmeric with lemon juice it you can make a facial mask that will draw impurities and remove blemishes. It looks OK in the beginning then not much improvement even after weeks of using it. So that's the end of turmeric episode in my life.

Then, I used Clean & Clear facial wash and moisturizer (fast action). According to the packaging it will help clear spots fast without drying your skin. But in my case, it did the opposite. It didn't clear out the spots and it dried my skin right after using it. It also sting and my skin looks terrible after using this product. So, I stopped using it after 3 days.

After C&C, I bought Ponds Flawless White Visible Lightening Daily Cream, Rebrightening Night Treatment and Intensive Serum (I remember using this when I was still in Dubai and it worked perfectly fine). It says that it will visibly lightens your skin, giving your skin a natural, flawless radiant look. It does lighten my skin but it tends to make my skin more oily. Also, I noticed that when I start using these, huge ones start popping out on my face (actually just the left side, I don't know why). I am almost contented with Ponds although I keep having those pimples or acne or whatever that keeps popping out until my sister told me to look for HBC Calamansi facial wash because that is what she is using and it seems to work fine with her.

While searching for HBC product online I came across this blog about Eskinol products (http://allaboutjyl.blogspot.com/2012/05/eskinol-facial-deep-cleanser-reviews.html). This blog is really informative and Janet, the owner, is very helpful.

I couldn't find HBC here in Doha so I decided to just look for Eskinol but was hesitant at first to buy because obviously I have mixed up all the treatments now and might have already done major damage in my face. 'Malikot sa aparato' as some of you would say. But still out of curiosity and desperation, I bought Eskinol Pimple Fighting Facial Deep Cleanser (facial wash). The first time I used it I actually say 'WOW' because it gave me that cold, fresh feeling in my face. I can feel that at least my skin was reacting to something now unlike the first 3 products I tried (well Clean & Clear stung my face so yeah there was a reaction pala). I looked at my face after washing and I can tell that I feel like my face is really clean and it doesn't look oily after drying. 

When I visited the store again where I bought my first Eskinol, I found out that they have a deep cleanser as well, serves as a toner. So I get one and combined the two as my after wash regimen. The toner will sting your face for few seconds but that's just it.  You will notice that even after washing there still some dirt on your face. Tried it with my neck and boom! Although my neck and face looks clean but when you use the toner you will  still get some dirt (libag?! haha) out of your skin.

I have been using this product for almost a week now and as I have read in the reviews it will take 7-10 days to actually notice the total difference, although after using it in 3 days you can tell that your pimples dried out and it is just the pimple marks that you should be worried about.

My pimples are not yet gone though. They are still on my face like a chicken pox that wouldn't go. But as I have said I haven't really used this product for more than a week now so I still have few more days to test its effectiveness. I just wish that finally I found my 'face-buddy' otherwise I would really need to hunt a fairy godmother that could transform me into a princess-like beauty and I don't care even if she'll ask me to wear those damn glass shoes as long as I will have the pimple free, acne away skin that I used to have (hehehe).

Gonna post some photos of my skin transformation ASAP to prove my point though :D

Heavenly Father, we thank You from the bottom of our hearts for your continued blessings on our union that have enabled us to reach another anniversary. We thank You for letting our love deepen and for helping us in time of trial. We know that without your assistance we would never have remained so close as we are.

We ask You to continue to watch over us, over our homes and families. Help us to renew our vows of love and loyalty and to strive to remain united with You, steadfast in our faith and in your service. 
Amen.

Day 104: Rhian & Mo Twister - - an ABORTED affair

wala sana ko balak mag-blog today until maisipan ko i-Google ang RHIAN RAMOS SINGAPORE ESCAPADE. try to click the link and mababasa nyo ang negative write up kay Rhian Ramos way back in 2008. minsan talaga pag may usok, may nagyoyosi apoy! hindi lalabas ang mga usap-usapan nun kung walang nakikita o nababasa ang mga chismoso at chismosang tulad ko hehe.

now after reading that article and searching more about Rhian & Mohan, naisipan ko magsearch using keywords  ABORTION IN SINGAPORE, LEGAL  and here's what i found. believe me while i was reading the below article i was literally wide-eyed as i couldn't believe what i am reading:



24 weeks fetus


INFOrmation

Termination of Pregnancy/Abortion in Singapore


Information on who to contact and how to proceed in the event of an unwanted pregnancy. Also information on the types of termination practised, the counselling available and general health promotion.
In Singapore, abortion is legal on socio-medical grounds. The legal time limit for abortion is 24 weeks into the pregnancy. (IMAGINE, THEY STILL TERMINATE 6 MONTHS PREGNANCY??! BUONG BATA NA YUN!!! WAAAAAAAAAA)
The Age of Legal Consent and Under 21s
In Singapore the Abortion Act law states that there is no defined age limit for the abortion procedure, nor is there a legal requirement for parental consent for minors under the age of 21. (ANYBODY CAN JUST GO THERE AND ASK FOR ABORTION!)

In other words just about anyone may request the procedure for unwanted pregnancy, provided they are of sound mind and body and understand the risks and details of the procedure.
Note: In contrast, if a miscarriage happens, then parental consent is required for anyone below the age of 21.

The law applies to all patients, regardless of nationality.

Legal restrictions on foreigners

Foreigners are only eligible for pregnancy termination/abortion in Singapore if one of the following criteria are met:
  • They have been residing in Singapore for 4 months or more
  • They are married to a Singapore citizen or have PR status
  • If they have a work permit
These restrictions do not apply to foreigners who require evacuation for miscarriage, but the age of legal consent (21 and above) will apply in this scenario.

(I DON'T THINK ANY OF THE ABOVE WERE MET BY RHIAN BUT WHO KNOWS BETTER THAN MO? LOL)

Before the Procedure
The Abortion Law act requires that the woman undergoes brief counselling by a qualified abortion counsellor at any accredited abortion clinic, and watch a video on the subject.

Girls under 16 years of age have to undergo mandatory counselling at the Health Promotion Board Counselling Centre. They will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance (COA) without which they will not legally be allowed to have an abortion.

There is also a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours after the counselling before the procedure can be done. (SO AFTER COUNSELLING MAGISIP KA LANG NG 2 DAYS AND IF GUSTO MO PA RIN MAGPAABORT OK LANG AS LONG AS 48HOURS NA ANG LUMIPAS?)
Procedure for an Abortion
There are 2 main types of abortion procedure, depending on the gestation of the pregnancy
  1. For early pregnancies 3 months (12 weeks) and below, the procedure is called vacuum aspiration. This usually involves being put to sleep for about 10 minutes, during which time a small tube is placed into the womb via the vagina. An attached vacuum will then remove all the pregnancy contents of the womb. (WAAAAAAAAAAA NALOLOKA AKO SA NABABASA KO!!! PATUTULUGIN KA LANG IN 10 MINUTES TAS YUN NA?!)
  2. For pregnancies 3 to 6 months (13 to 24 weeks) , the procedure is known as Mid Trimester Pregnancy Termination (MTPT) which is a more complicated affair. Hospitalisation is usually required for a day or two, during which medicine is inserted into the vagina to induce natural expulsion of the pregnancy. After the foetus and placenta are aborted, the process of evacuation of the womb follows. This is basically the same procedure as used in vacuum aspiration; it ensures that the womb contents have been thoroughly evacuated.
The second method takes a little longer and is messier, so it is far preferable that an early decision for abortion be made, before 3 months if possible.

Abortion in a pregnancy beyond 24 weeks

Abortion is not allowed if a pregnancy has progressed beyond 24 weeks. The legal limit of termination of pregnancy in Singapore is 6 months, or 24 weeks, beyond which abortion of any pregnancy is illegal. Most doctors would not initiate abortion beyond 23 weeks as the abortion has to be completed by 24 weeks. The only exception to this rule would be a severe or lethal foetal abnormality but even then, special approval would have to be sought from the authorities before the procedure can be done.

Limit to how early in a pregnancy the abortion can be performed

A woman choosing to have the procedure, should make an appointment as soon as possible in order to date and to locate the pregnancy so that the timing of the procedure can be planned. This is important because is not advisable to have the procedure too early in the pregnancy, as the risks of retained products and a "missed" abortion is higher.

Expected downtime after the procedure

Though the evacuation procedure itself takes only about 10 to 20 minutes, it would probably be advisable to take the rest of the day off in view of the residual effects of the anaesthesia. Recovery should be complete by the next day.

Risks with the procedure

The risks of the procedure are rare, and consist of bleeding from the womb, infection and trauma to the cervix. (WHAT? RISKS ARE RARE??)

Another extremely rare complication is uterine perforation, which is when the probe goes through the wall of the womb, and which requires repair via keyhole surgery.

Long term effects (including emotional and psychological trauma)

The risks of infertility from abortion carried out in a modern setting, particularly in a sterile environment, are extremely low. As for psychosocial effects, these are far less common than some sensationalist media imply. In fact the only satisfactory studies conducted in this regard show that there is an improvement in the mental well-being when compared to someone who has to go through the entire process of an unwanted pregnancy. (NASAAN ANG MORALITY DITO?! SO MAGPA-ABORT KA NA LANG KESA MAGDUSA KA SA ISANG BAGAY NA BINIGAY SAYO NI GOD KAHIT DI MO HINIHINGI. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT GOD KNOWS THAT YOU DESERVE A BLESSING KAYA BINIGYAN KA NYA NG ISANG LITTLE ANGEL?! AM NOT BEING HYPOCRITE OR RELIGIOUS HERE BUT COME ON! MAS MENTALLY STABLE ANG NAGPAPA-ABORT?? SO HEARTLESS!)

Nonetheless many aspects of emotional and mental well being are subjective, and coloured by social, cultural and religious influences, making this a controversial issue. The impact of regret also varies from individual to individual. A qualified gynaecologist can provide in-depth discussion and unbiased counselling.

Cost of the procedure

The cost of the surgery itself in Singapore ranges from S$300 to S$2000. (FOR SOMEONE NA MAY PERA AT DESIDIDO ANG $300 AY BARYA LANG!)

The large disparity is due to variations in the type of theatre employed, the depth of anaesthesia applied and in the package inclusions. For MTPT, the hospitalisation and medication charges must also be taken into account. An accredited abortion centre should be contacted for an in-depth discussion.

Patients are also usually entitled to a medisave claim, although this may not be relevant to foreigners.

Abortion through taking medication

The practice of medical termination via taking of prostaglandins has the advantage of avoiding surgery. However it is a more prolonged process, and may involve pain and bleeding which may last for weeks. There is also a slightly higher failure rate, which may still require one to undergo a formal evacuation if the medicine fails.

Traditional medicines 

The procedure should only be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified non-objecting gynaecologist trained in abortion procedures. "Traditional" or "alternative" methods of abortion using pineapples, herbs and/or instrumentation in unsanitary conditions should be avoided as complications such as infection, bleeding and sometimes infertility can occur.
The Doctor's Rights, a Woman's Choice 
A doctor may refuse to perform the procedure on personal grounds although the woman retains her choice in the matter of abortion. It is the duty of every responsible medical practitioner to offer the patient a second opinion even if they object to the procedure on religious grounds. 

An accredited abortion centre is a good source of unbiased objective information. The final decision is made by the pregnant woman.

The most important aspect of abortion is the decision to have one. There are a myriad of conflicting social, religious and financial issues that have to be sorted out carefully so time should be taken to make an informed decision as this is something that should not be taken lightly.


binabasa ko pa lang naririmarim na ko. anong puso kaya meron ang mga taong mag-a-undergo sa procedure na ito? in 10-20minutes matatapos ang abortion..hay! para sakin out of wedlock or kahit rape pa ang dahilan ng pregnancy mo, you should not kill the child! for God's sake! unless it is for medical reason that they have to remove the baby other than that i firmly believe that wala kang karapatang pumatay ng sanggol sa sinapupunan mo. there are so many women i know who are dying to have a child but God only  knows why hindi sila nagkakaron pa ng anak. i have 2 sons and each pregnancy is really a very memorable experience and you just cannot explain the feeling knowing that there's a human being inside you. hindi naman yun extra fats na pwede mo patangal whenever you feel like it, hindi yan tattoo na pwede mo ipalagay at ipatanggal whenever you like. TAO yan! T-A-O! kung paano ka nabuhay sa mundo ganun din yang dinadala mo. ohhh you are so lucky that your mother did not abort you, where's the KUNSENSYA! oh wait, i am not referring to Rhian Ramos here ok?  i am referring to all women who opted to abort their unborn child 'for convenience'!

Day 103: LIES..Camera..Action!

masyadong maingay ang showbiz world nitong mga nakaraang araw. andami-dami issues. i even need to create a new FB account para lang makapagcomment ako ng di nababarubal ang original & private FB account ko LOL

halina at himay-himayin ang kaganapan sa buhay ng ibang tao. in other words pagchismisan natin sila haha.


Piolo & KC

ansakit sa bangs ng issue na to! matagal ng issue ang pagiging bakla ni Papa P! ang di ko lang maintindihan bat ba kasi di na lang magpakatotoo si Piolo diba? ok fine, mahirap! kung ako kaya magsuot ng shoes nya am sure mahihirapan din ako ilakad kasi malaki paa nya kesa sa paa ko (loooooooool). kahit di counted ang opinion ko gusto ko sabihing papansin si KC (?).  we all know na rocky ang lovelife nila. may mga 'issues' na pinagdadaanan. tulad ng lagi ngang sinasabi ng mga echoserang artista - 'mahirap ang pinagdadaanan namin' (trekking kaya ito?!)

i think may choice naman silang maging quiet sa private life nila. magtambling man ang mga fans nila ehhh kung ayaw mo magkwento ano bang magagawa nila?! natatakot ba syang mawalan ng fans dahil di sya nagshare ng private life nya? come on, andami kayang sikat na artista na di open sa timeline ng lovelife nila and yet marami pa ring supporters. isa syang KC CONCEPCION hindi pa sya nagaartista inaabangan na sya ng mga tao being a daughter of Sharon & Gabby. meron na syang mga followers. in fact isa ako sa mga madalas bumibisita dati sa multiply account nya nung di pa sya officially artista. sa aking pananaw, since ito ay exclusive ng The Buzz, pakana na naman ng prod team or ng network nila yun. TELL ALL ang title ng segment pero di naman sinabi lahat ang kwento? meron pang ayaw daw ibigay ang details. pinagisip lang ang mga tao? hmft! ayaw daw siraan si Piolo e ano ngayon ang resulta ng drama nya sa TV e di kwestyonable na naman ang gender ni Papa P! heheehe..am not a fan of Piolo, ever since di ko sya nagustuhan, there's something wrong with him that I really can't place what or where so di naman pwede sabihin pro-Piolo ako kaya ganito reaction ko. basta may mali sa interview na yun period. di ba pwede isettle yun in private? pwede naman sigurong sabihin lang YES WE ARE OVER..period walang kasunod! :D


Rhian & Mo TwisteDr

kung totoo man ang mga kumakalat na 3x na nagpaabort si Rhian, i think hindi natin sya dapat basta husgahan instead dapat silang kaawaa ni Mo dahil di nila alam ang ginagawa nila. ok fine, di ako pro-abortion. nabuntis ako out of wedlock when i was 20 years old but never ko naisip ipalaglag yung baby. i eventually got married with the father of my child. now my son is already 10 years old and  sobrang sakit ng ulo perooo super gwapo. hinding-hindi ko nireregret na tinuloy ko pregnancy ko. maybe she has reason to do that and of course nangunguna na yun showbiz career nya. pero whatever her reasons were maling mali pa rin ang abortion. again, kung totoo man ang lahat ng chismis, napakairesponsible nilang dalawa ni Mo to do that. whatever the case may be, hindi lang si Rhian ang masama dito, kahit pa sabihin ni Mo na ayaw nya. in the first place bat nila ginawa?!

leaking the video is really wrong. too selfish, too irresponsible, too stupid, too insensitive ni prettyjenny55 to upload that video. hindi nya na dapat inupload pa sa Youtube ang ganun kasensitibong bagay. she got want she wants though. FAME! when i first checked her vid there were only 55views and now it is more than 200K. what if magsuicide si Rhian cause of that video, can prettyjenny55 or Mo correct their mistakes? Nope. What's done is done. tsk


Janelle (Ramgen)/Magsaysay-Bautista

now that Janelle has finally recovered & issued her sworn statement lumabas ang isa pang side ng kwento. Janelle confirmed rift between the siblings na dineny noon ni Genelyn at mas marami pang issue & personal na bagay ang lumalabas. 

mashado ako naging busy sa The Case Briefers (Ramgen Slay Case) group sa FB at sa iba pang mga pages kung saan nakablock na ko sa di ko malamang kadahilanan hahahaha. i get to read a lot of updates, stories, opinions and i am really learning a lot. masasabi ko lang siguro sa issue na to is that Janelle should be careful din sa mga binibitawan nyang salita cause it might backfire to her. it was stated in her affidavit that she's lived with the Bautistas for 5 years (during her relationship with Ramgen) which will make people think na nagli-live in na sila ni Ramgen. though for me wala ako pakealam pero dun sa mga 'mapagmalinis' am sure makukwestyon yun. sinabi rin nyang may schizoprenia si Genelyn, tho di na yun kelangan pang sabihin parang obvious naman na noon pa hahahah, unless may medical record si Janelle to prove this claim parang mahihirapan syang idepensa yan at lalabas pa syang naninira.


however all those issues are irrelevant sa kaso kung ako tatanungin dahil ang main issue is SINO ANG KILLER? could it be RJ who was being bullied by Ramgen for being soft? Gail who's handling the finances and always in rift with Ramgen for being partyholic? i think Mara is just an accessory to the crime, sya lang ang may tibay ng dibdib na panoorin habang pinapatay ang kapatid nya to ensure na successful ang plano?


hay buhey! sana naman maresolba ang kaso bago pa mag 1st year death anniv si Ramgen.


andami daming LIES sa harap ng CAMERA...tsk!

i am posting this not to make fun or humiliate Atty. Midas Marquez. in fact, i like this guy. whenever makikita ko sya sa TV feeling ko ang tali-talino nya hehehe. naishare ko lang naman tong video ankyut kasi ni Atty magulat  :D

hindi man sinasadya ng mga taong makita ang clip na ito at pagusapan lalo na ang 'pagtawanan' ....but it was on TV so di natin mapipigilan ang mga nakapanood na magreact hehe. at syempre negatibo ang reaksyon ng mga tao e kung positibo yan kakalat ba yan sa FB lol. 

sana lang wag naman nila i-judge si Atty. Midas just because nagulumihanan si ate este si attorney sa pagkakahulog ng mic. tensyonado lang sya talaga sa mic topic hehehe.

regardless of his gender indi natin sya dapat husgahan. wala naman syang kinurakot sa bayan, wala syang mala-transformer na mugshots, hindi sya suspect sa pagpatay sa sariling kapatid, hindi sya umarteng parang abnormal sa Survivor Philippines at lalong hindi naman sya member ng  So Wat ng Protege..kaya puhlease wag nyo naman sya husgahan hindi sya akusado o contestant ng bayan. pasensya na kung ganung reaksyon ang naipakita nya on TV ehhh sa iyon ang natural nya..hmft! e sa magugulatin si attorney, kealam nyo ba? LOL
