BEAUTY REGIMENT

It's but normal for us women,be inclined of being conscious of our external appearance. As we reach a certain age, and start to notice unwelcome but abrupt physical changes, especially on our facial area, arms, legs, as in everything that easily catches the human eye, we begin to panic.Maybe to some women,who are plain,unfashionable or what we call as an unorthodox, these are but the least of their concern.
Anyway, I would like to think I belong to the so called "normal species", though I don't consider myself vain compared to others,I'm no exemption to those who feel a bit conscious of their physical appearance.Most women follow a certain beauty regiment.Sometimes it's so complicated that it takes hours for her to finish a session.They don't even care spending a big amount just to hinder the normal human ageing process, like going to salon regularly to lessen the hassle.
Here I go again, W/ my unending endorsement of this product.Anyway I'm just trying to share my own regiment.I'm sure some of my so called online buddies will raise an eyebrow or something to that effect ones again, especially that the leading dealer of this particular product line happens to be their stiff competitor.Anyhow, mine is just simple.After taking a shower in the evening, of course using my ever favorite, milk- honey soap ( of ms. mhaan's Facial Beauty Line ) from face to toes,I apply sparingly a small amount of Dalfour Cream allover my face, neck and armpits as a whitening agent. After that using the BLANCHE Moisturizing Lotion mixed w/ an amount of, again Dalfour Cream I apply it agilely to the rest of my body.In the morning, after having a bath using the Berberry whitening Soap,and drying up I just repeat the whole session I did in the evening except that I use this time an amount of Baby Powder on my face, and apply my favorite lipstick on my lips ( only if I intend to go out ) of course and that's it.Plus going to Salon ones a month for my regular hair dye and Foot Spa.In addition to my regiment I drink Plenty of water and eat not so expensive fruits.That's what comprises my simple and inexpensive Beauty regiment.I would like to mention also that one regular bottle of ORIGINAL DALFOUR REPAIR and WHITENING CREAM will last for four months and the soap about 2 months.
Why am I so persistent of endorsing this cream? simply because of it's proven amazing effect that I am continually experiencing through the years.It's simple, inexpensive yet effective DALFOUR CREAM,distributed by my favorite dealer who is non other than MS. MHAAN.

A MOTHER'S SECRET

Every parent's wish especially for us mothers, is nothing but the best for our offspring.It's but usual that every time we parents get together one of our favorite topics is about our children. Often times we love to enumerate to our friends their achievements,rewards, what they have become, their professions, etc. In short all the positive paybacks that our children has showered us in return for what we did to them. Of course our children's accomplishments and what they have become are proofs, so as to be considered as successful parents.Just like having a big house, luxurious car, our children's success also evolves as a "status symbol" for us parents. Just any kind of relationship, parent - child is also not perfect.Though we love our kids so much, and viceversa, there are times that we also have some moments of misunderstanding and differences.One time my long lost friend came to the house for a visit, we were both excited to see each other again after a decade of having no chance of getting in touch, for she migrated to the states more than 10 years ago.I remembered she married a yr.ahead of me.As expected we started talking about our kids.She got 5 children, three boys and two girls. All of them are already professionals. Her husband, an engineer died a yr. ago due to heart ailment, the reason why she decided to come home( what she told me initially ) rather than stay in another country like U.S.While we were having a chat, I couldn't help but wonder why she has chosen to come home when in fact she was living there comfortable w/ her successful brood in the States.After a long conversation,I got an answer to the question I was holding at the back of my mind.Her children were born and raised in the States, the reason why 90% of their behavior and perspectives are influenced by the place where they were brought up.According to my friend, she could feel this early, that sooner or later she'll just end - up in an institution for the aged in the land where others considered as a " LAND OF GREENER PASTURES " and " LAND OF MILK and HONEY ". This nightmare has been haunting her since that incident happened.According to her, she was reprimanded by her oldest son, of not giving prior notice that she was coming to their house at dinner time.When she told the other brood about it,she was dismayed by their reaction, for they accede to what their brother did rather than bawl out for what he did to their poor mom. After that heartfelt conversation, she requested a favor, to keep what she divulge a secret to our other friends and colleagues.Not that she was concern of what our friends will think about her, but what they'll think about her children.I gave her my promise to never divulge the primary reason why she came home, and I intend to keep it.Though I'm making her story a blog, I'll make sure that no one will suspect that it's she whom I'm referring to, for I made some ambiguous changes in my presentation of the story as a whole.I love my friend, and I appreciate her being honest and true. Thou I sympathize with her, I really respect her for not being a cheat,instead she honored and complimented me by sharing and trusting a delicate story of a Mother's secret.

DRAW THE LINE

"Draw the line". I'm sure this line is very much familiar.Often times this is used by some Women Advocates.I wonder what this particular saying means to you as a person,and as a woman. Come to think of it, doesn't this short but substantial slogan somehow wakes your alertness and consciousness? I would say this simple but meaningful phrase is important to every relationship you can think of. It maybe a husband -wife, an employer - employee, even a mother - child relationships, to name a few. The only connection that I can think of that doesn't need this is our relationship w/ OUR Creator.

Drawing a line, enables us to be conscious of our defects and limitations, so to be aware if we are being exploited by others already.It helps us also to avoid experiencing of being battered either physically or emotionally, and also it protects us from any form of harassment.This also teach us to demand for a compromise agreement,so to avoid being abuse. Though this slogan is quite short it comprises a broad meaning thus awakes us with our rights and capability as individuals and much more as the higher form of creature among other God's Creation.

We should be mature and clever enough when to draw the line, every time we notice that something is no longer fair and just. Remember that in a non- health relationship there's always a victim and a culprit, and the worst is if there's masochism involve, so never allow this to happen to us and to our loved ones. Somehow I believe in the saying that there are no opportunists, unless you allow yourself to be exploited or abuse by others and it is only possible when you do not cherish and respect your person.

ANOTHER MILESTONE

Less than a week from now another milestone will be added to my blissful and fruitful life. As it comes every year, I welcome it whole heartily. Anyway, aside from being inevitable, it makes me feel more learned and wiser ( at least that's how I feel ). Age per se , doesn't make a person becomes clever and sensible. I guess, experiences do. But then, I also believe that experiences ( especially those unhappy ones) may either make or break you. And I think, Faith, plays a huge role to it. I had also a fair share of the not so good experiences. But then I used them to my advantage in facing the challenges of my existence, and the like of giving me strength and courage of the incoming battles that comes my way till the end.

Most women hide their age. When they reach 30 they stop to divulge their age. Anyway, it's their privilege to keep it a secret. In my case, I've never been conscious about it, especially to my friends and acquaintances, except of course to those who are strangers and don't have good intention. For me, it is one thing you should be proud of. When I look at myself in the mirror and start noticing those lines at the corner of my eyes ( though they are not so significant, thank you dalfour cream ), I don't consider them as signs of ageing but instead those are evidences of my being more reasonable and understanding. Reasonable in the sense, that you are aware that life isn't a " bed of roses", though you totally comprehend why it is so, and understanding why sometimes life is not as perfect as we want it to be, even though how much we give our very best to achieve it. For me, another milestone is a grace from God for it means you are given a chance to improve yourself as a person, to undone the bad things we've done, to catch up the times that we took for granted and much more to be with our loved ones for a longer time. Another year means, a gift, such a wonderful gift, that's why I thank God for this blessing, of giving me another year, so to continue the things that I want to do, to carry on my tasks like serving my loved ones and to continue to enjoy life to the fullest as long as I am aware of my limitations as a person and as God's creation.

RELIGION

Religion is not the way to heaven, it's a fact. Unlike what other beliefs say that, unless you join their congregation you will never be saved. For my own personal opinion, what matters most is the purity and sincerity of your heart. Anyway no one is perfect, nobody can accuse anybody of being a sinner. Why, aren't you?. As the bible says " May be the one who haven't sin cast the 1st stone on the sinner ". I was born as a Roman Catholic, I hope and pray that till my last breath I'll remain as one. But never will I condemn the people in the other congregations.I respect what they believe in as long as they'll respect mine. I hate arguments pertaining religion, aside from being boring it has no end. It'll just keep going on and on and on,yet at the end will never resolve anything. Maybe sometimes there are people who could easily be persuade, and mind you , some of them are what we call " intelligent " and professionals but just the same I'll never adjudge them, for it isn't their fault if they got a mercurial foundation of their spiritual belief. As to my conception the kind of person you are is what is important. Even those who are doomed sinners by some hypocrites, will still be given the chance to defend themselves at the end. Why? because I believe that your GOD and mine who happens to be the same is JUST, BROADMINDED and has the eye of a tiger that penetrates through ones soul. That's the reason why I don't and never will believe that religion is the way to heaven.

HYPOCRISY

Why this topic? Honestly I don't know why, simply pop-up from my idle mind. Maybe, I'm sick and tired of encountering so many people of such aberration . I guess all human beings including myself are born w/ it. If this is a diseases, it could be considered as congenital. But, just like any disease this has also some kind of stages, like fair, moderate, and severe. Being in the fair stage, for me is quite understandable. An example of this is you have to pretend just to save yourself from embarrassment or to rescue oneself from other people ingenuity ( hope you understand what I mean). When you cross over the standard of what we call " fair stage ", I guess you are already becoming unfair to yourself. An example of this is putting up an image to other people being somebody you are not, it would be pathetic, don't you think so? and finally in the serious stage, this time you are not only being unfair to yourself but to other people as well. This is already what we call the terminal stage where in the disease has traveled to the different organs of the body through the veins, it becomes already part of the person's system, thus affecting his behavior, manner and personality. It's awful because you are now trapped in a secluded area w/c unfortunately you couldn't escape or live w/o. You are now trying to project an image to deceive others, and in the process you start to harass, abuse, and use others to your advantage. An example of this is projecting a macho image by seducing women to that effect so you can use them as your props to mislead other people, when the fact is as the curtain falls, you start applying make-up, and dressing up like your favorite female movie star. Isn't this the worse type of HYPOCRISY.
