And the saga continues…

There is a happy ending after all. Remember my previous post on how my phone was accidentally flushed in the toilet then later on retrieved. M0rn1ng tried it after 2 days of letting it dry up and we’re surprised to see it run perfectly. The camera is the only thing that’s not working but I don’t care. To see it working still despite being soaked in water for two whole days is something.

Now I believe in Nokia phones. Not only they are user-friendly, it is also made to last.

I had my phone back and I can now blog again at home. It’s like a dream. I can’t believe it.

Acne is a disorder of the skin that causes it to be spotted or even disfigured by pimples, blackheads, red swellings, or cysts. People of all ages can be afflicted with it, but teenagers suffer the most. According to some experts, about 80 percent develop acne in varying degrees.

Sad to say, no miracle cure exists. There are, however, acne treatments available, such as gels, creams, lotions, washes, soaps, and facial masks, containing benzoyl peroxide (an antibacterial agent) that can help bring acne under control. Many find that cleansing their skin thoroughly with a soap or wash containing benzoyl peroxide is helpful. However, avoid oily soaps or oil-based cosmetics.

Some have also found that by taking care of their overall health—getting plenty of exercise, being out in the fresh air as much as possible, and getting enough sleep—their acne condition improves. And while the benefits of maintaining a fat-free diet are debated by some, avoiding junk food, as well as eating a balanced diet, obviously makes sense.

In any event, patience is a must. Remember: The problem built up over quite a period of time, so it will not clear up overnight. By sticking to a treatment over a period of time, you may experience some relief.

Meanwhile, do not let a few blemishes crush your self-esteem or inhibit your talking with others. While you may feel quite self-conscious about your skin, others probably notice it a lot less than you think. So try to keep a positive, happy spirit. And do what you can for your acne right now!

We attended Jerome and Joy’s wedding last Saturday. It was a joyous occasion despite the heavy rains that poured early in the evening. They are M0rn1ng’s family friend and my mom in law is one of the principal sponsors.

It was a nice evening of love, fun and laughter. If only her dad was here. Kuya Toti passed away two years ago. But I can see the full support of her family especially her mom.

It is also memorable for our family because it is the first wedding reception that we brought B.boy with us. He has grown up a lot and I was really amazed on his social skills. He knows how to mingle with other people and he even joined the kids dance number. Look how he grooves.

Needless to say, the guests were very amused with his surprise dance number. Hehehe.

Here are some more pics taken by Shang.

Congratulations Jerome and Joy! May you find bliss and happiness in each other’s arms.

Summer time is here once again and I’m longing to lounge in the beach while reading a good book and sipping a refreshing shake. Or maybe enjoy a relaxing massage while inhaling the salt water breeze.

My ideal beaches were the ones at the Riviera Maya. There are a number of all-inclusive resorts that offers premium holidays. You can just imagine luxurious beach beds, beach bar swings, hot tubs and hammocks, rooms with ocean view and exquisite food carefully prepared by renowned chefs from the freshest produce in the market.

This is my ideal and dream summer getaway. So sad, the summer is ending and I haven’t got the chance to hit the beach.
