We opted to use soaps from the (DOH) Department of Health‘s Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) that have natural ingredients in it.

With a teenage daughter, we have to be careful what we use for acne remedy because facial skin is sensitive.

At first, using the soaps on my face gave me a bit of discomfort because my skin felt itchy. I asked my SIL about it because she was the one who gave me the soaps. She said I have to read the ingredients and sure enough, ingredients just listed the fruit or vegetable extract and vegetable oil. None of those 20+ lettered hard-to-pronounce words. So, yey! Must be those extracts doing what they are supposed to do on the skin.

So far I’ve used papaya, cucumber and carrot soaps for skin moisturizing. I forgot to take photos of these.

My daughter is using calamansi soap for whitening (rolls eyes) while we still have bayabas [guava] (skin protection against bacteria), akapulko (skin defense against fungus) and labanos [radish] (skin whitening and astringent).

We are almost out of soap so we need to order more soon.

I thought our internet connection is pretty fast compared to others but I was wrong because last night it took me almost 4 hours to upload online a 4:02 minutes video.

Where we are, our ISP, SmartBro is the third to the last among 17 other ISPs when compared from the period of August 19, 2008 – February 18, 2011.

Here’s the link.

I sure hope that later on the speed improves.  We need to look at urban clothing photos as reference for a school dance performance and mathematical operations with fractions videos as a refresher lesson.

Ye  right.

Wasn’t it just last early last year when I wrote I wanted to have a netbook? And now, less than a year later, netbooks’ sales are down because tablets and android phones have overtaken them in terms of style and sales.

Hmmm… having a tablet is sure nice but this can’t be a good tool for a blogger like me. I saw a blogger’s tablet and took notice of little “marks’ on one side where the keyboard should be 🙁

Yeah, some people I know have tablets. Then they purchase the keyboard. Isn’t it much more difficult to hold than using a netbook?

As for me, I need to check on Atrix or the best android mobile phone for me so I can Andronify myself, haha!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner as evidenced by the pinks, reds and heart-shaped decorations seen in different places.

It is the gift-giving season after Christmas’s gifting but this time around, gifts are considered as more special.

Flowers?

Stuffed toys?

Chocolates?

Teen gifts at Personal Creations?

Out of town trips? (yes for me!!!)

Whatever is that “perfect” Valentine’s Day gift for your loved ones, the tag price is not important as long as one is sure to give these gifts sincerely and from the heart.
