Dressing up

Posted by gmirage1 on Dec 9, 2010 in Uncategorized | Comments Off

The season calls for new shoes and clothes. Thick moon boots and rollis are on my list…The hubby has a penchant for sporty profile photos for his Facebook, I am the one assigned to do the picture-taking! Since it’s winter, snowboarding is the “in” sport. It really isn’t easy standing there on the snow, holding the camera and waiting for the right moment to click! I’ve scouted the sportshop around but I found online items cheaper and to my taste. Like Uggs boots, apple bottoms shoes, sweaters, Timberland and Doc Marten’s and Tom tailor jackets.

My first photobook

I’m really grateful for those online deals I mentioned some posts earlier. I got a whooping 70% discount on online printing services and I’ll be using it to print my first photobook. I haven’t finished the layout yet (I haven’t even started sorting out the photos) but most of what the book will contain you’ve already seen here.  If not, I’d perhaps finish my daughter’s photobook first which has been idly waiting on a shelf.

Microdermabrasion

Sometime ago, I had a salicylic peel done because of my (annoyingly and recurring) pimples…yes, at this age. This was not only expensive, it was really painful! I would say though that it was worth it…I had to suffer 5 days of hiding the skin (I donned a scarf and wore a hat), so as not to expose it under the sun and for people not to see.

So I looked for other options forother acne scars removal that I can opt to have, one is microdermabrasion. The stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion, to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. This procedure had to be done more often for acne and in an interval of a month or so.

I had use a lot of acne products and somehow, after a year battling acne, it’s almost gone. (Thank God!) The next treatment I might undergo is lighter, like fruit peeling.

Little boy

Little boy has this habit of shouting “Liebling ko yan!” (that’s my favorite) when we eat out or when we’re at the grocery. I imitated him one time (tone) while he was lying down beside me .

G: Liebling kita!
He looked at me and smiled.
D: Wirklich, liebling mo ako? ((really, I’m your favorite?)
G: oo (yes)
D: Aber  hindi naman ako pagkain…(But I’m not food…)

Prints

I’m enjoying this website, groupon.at, that’s giving consumers really good discounts. They don’t only offer discounts for food joints and clothing/shoe shops, fitness centers, hair salons and cosmetic boutiques; they also offer big discounts for photo prints, photobooks and other printing services I need as a photographer. For now, I haven’t been using a laserjet and I’ve saved much of my laserjet 3700 toner for this. I think I got 60% off my photobook…I’m still compiling which photos to print and hopefully I’d finish it by the end of this month.

Persistent

That would best describe the stuff that keeps popping out my face. Just when I thought all is clear in the war zones of pimples and scars, nose blackheads became my problem now. I think I need to give a bit more attention to this zone when cleaning my face then. I was tempted to look at the new products while buying some vitamins for the kids at the apothecary earlier…but I know better now, sticking to a regimen is the best. Hopefully this determination works for this stubborn blackheads too.
