I've been using the OCM method for years already but I just DIY the oil I use - olive oil and coconut oil. Then one day, I woke up with an eye infection. WHAT!? SAN AKO NAGKULANG??? I suspect that it was going to turn into a stye.

 I don't really know much about stye since that a first time for me so I researched and - I stopped applying liquid concealer on my undereye area while it was infected, I placed hot pack on my eyes everynight, and bought a proper cleansing oil when I saw that it was 50% off that night. Olive oil and coconut oil were able to get to do their job well in cleaning my face but that night I thought to myself that I should get a proper cleansing oil already.



 My left eye was infected and it was obvious so I had to wear glasses for four days.

The first cleansing oil I bought was from Mizon and I also got one from Biore. However, I was given this Heimish Trial Pack which I am reviewing now.

For me:

Heimish > Mizon > Biore


This is what the sampler looks like. The amount of product this sampler had lasted me for six times of use. I prefer this over the liquid cleansing oils especially since this is easier to transport. I'm just not sure if it's solid phase will be able to endure the heat of Philippines' summer though.


It's in solid state while in the container and it smells a bit like a medicated ointment. The smell isn't a concern for me since I actually love its mild herbal scent.


Wash your hands first and make sure both your fingers and face are dry before massaging the product on your face.


It melts easily when applied on the face. It removes everything on my face in just a few minutes of massaging it and it doesn't sting my eyes. It has a mild cooling sensation upon application too. 


When you feel that you've removed the make-up, residues and impurities on your face, wet your fingers and massage your face again with a bit of water to emulsify the oil. When the oil becomes creamy/white like the picture above, you're doing it right.


Rinse off the product. I'm not sure if washing with soap after is a must but I still wash my face with Dove Beauty Bar nonetheless.

Maganda lang ilaw dun sa banyo sa Shang kaya ganyan itsura ko pero sige na, may konting brightening effect. hahaha. lolz. Definitely does the job without all the harmful ingredients pala, I've read that this balm doesn't have parabens etc. The reason why I stuck with olive and coconut oil was because I don't like putting a lot of chemicals in my face. I'm a convert. Good thing I found Heimish!




I will purchase this product soon. For the meantime, I'm back to using my Mizon and Biore :)

"Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth."


EH?!

Tapos na 'yung 2017? :))) 


My 2017 travels in one video... well except for the first minute since those clips were from 2016. I just fell inlove with the song "Settled" by Ransom Collective so I made the video. Credits to them! Sobrang inspiring ehehe


2017 passed by so fast and I wasn't able to blog a lot so the things I did were most of the times undocumented. But I'll be posting Malaysia, Taiwan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Boracay, Baguio in the next few weeks (or months) hahaha babalik na lang ako sa Tacloban, hindi ko pa nalalagay rito 'yung Tacloban 2017. lolz. 


Anyway, last year was the year that I knew death - from losing my father in January and losing two of my aunts in April and in December. I'm not an emotional person so I don't really like talking about those things. Kaya ko naman eh. Ako na lang. Yep, I lost people and yet, still showed everyone that I'm getting by and I'm okay. Opo, tao lang po. Nalulungkot din pero hindi lang talaga komportable na ipakita 'yon sa lahat. Tbh, I'm awkward at those things (showing emotions etc.) but losing people and realizing that life is indeed short inspired me to strive in becoming better at showing and expressing this thing called "emotions" Pero nasa inspired phase pa rin ako, di ko pa ginagawa. :))) Should I try to be clingy, 2018!? HAHAHA ang hirap, bessss. Kasi kahit nage-effort na ko, mukha pa rin talaga kong manhid. Dito nga lang ako sa blog nagk-kwento ng mga ganito. :)) 


Also maybe, just maybe, now that I have started praying FOR him TO Him, I can finally open my heart... kasi kinakabahan na sila para sa'kin baka daw magkasama na lang kami forever ng aso ko. :)) Pero seryoso, I think this would be the year when I'll start praying that I'll meet a significant other so I'm  currently praying that I'll be ready when that time comes. Gets 'yung situation? Gusto ko na, okay na, pero di pa ko handa... pero sino ba handang-handa diba? Kailangan lang tama 'yung tao ahahahahahahah ge na lang. Sana, when it's my time to take chances kaya ko ng i-risk, matatag na ko ganern. Ang kulit ng shifting, e noh? Patunay na manhid si ate girl. 


Aside from re-learning that life is short and it's better to love and lost than not love at all, one thing good that had happened to me is realizing that inflicting pain to others and arguing with others wouldn't do me good. :)) Kasi when I was living in the States in 2016, my learning was to never let people take advantage of me and to always fight for myself. I thought that I became a better person since I was able to stand against anything that I felt was wrong but I realized last year that I can fight for myself without harming and compromising the "relationship" I have with others. The goal for this 2018, is to get my point across without having to raise my voice and making other people uncomfortable and mad at me... kahit bwisit na bwisit na bwisit na ko. HAHAHAHA! "Avoiding enemies yet getting what I want and deserve 2018," ang dapat. Ayoko palang maging 'yung insensitive na tao na gagawin at sasabihin lahat makuha lang gusto niya. Ayoko palang maging 'yung klase ng tao na hindi iniisip 'yung nararamdaman ng iba mapatunayan lang na tama siya. Kasi para saan, diba? Focus lang sa good things lagi. Sana. Sana. Ayoko palang nakakasakit ng damdamanin. CHARRRRR



Hanggang dito na lang, basta, wherever I'll be able to go, whatever I'll be able to do and accomplish, whoever I'll be able to meet and anything that gets blocked from me this year... I thank you in advance, 2018. I know that I'll get through anything. Saka sana mas madalas na ko maka-blog this year, binawasan ko na pagpo-post sa IG at Facebook kasi gusto ko na magbalik loob dito.


May everything be in our favor.

God bless us. 




I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.



PS.

I cut my hair. 


Picture above was taken February 2017. 


Picture above was taken a day before I had it cut.


Don't worry, it'll grow back. :)))) 


Ganito lang sana kaikli, 'yung hanggang shoulders lang... pero k, gusto ko ng maiksi e, diba? :)))


'Yan talaga gusto ko mangyari eh, haahhahaha, magsuot ng hikaw na mas mahaba sa buhok ko. 


 I've always worn my hair long since I was young so this drastic change was something unexpected for everyone and even for myself. Di ko nga din alam kung bagay sa'kin kasi wala na ko pang-takip ng taba but I decided to cut it nonetheless. 


At wala na rin naman akong magagawa kung hindi bagay sa'kin kasi putol na. Hanggang sa, "don't worry, it'll grow back na lang ako." :)))

As you probably know by now, Taiwan has granted visa-free entry for Filipinos last November 1, 2017... that means that as of this writing and until July 31, 2018, we can enter Taiwan bringing only our passports! Yay! Thank you so much, Taiwanese Government! :)

Though, of course, have your return tickets and accommodation reservation proofs ready just in case the immigration officer asks for those. Can't take risks, mga bes! Mahirap nang ma-offload! Hehehe. 

I have lots of utang posts but I can't wait to show you my pictures from Taiwan taken during our trip last December 1-4, 2017 so I decided to post this now.

Zhong She Guang Guang/ Zhong She Flower Market, Taichung


While planning our itinerary, we saw pictures of this flower market in Instagram. It was so photogenic that those pictures made us want to go here too... however, most of our pictures didn't turn out the way we hoped for. HAHAHA! 


Bakit 'yung kanila, kahit mukhang effortless e ang ganda?? 


Pero k lang, ang mahalaga e kahit muntanga, meron. :))

Three Part Vlog





It was our first out-of-the-country trip (as a group) so we wanted to document as much as possible. Hence, the vlogs. :))

Creamy Matte in Clay Crush and Nude Nuance Review link: here.
Powder Matte in Toasted Brown Review link: here.

 I got Almond Pink a few weeks back when it was still on sale. I only used this for three times (fourth for today's swatch) and have promised to give this used bullet for Christmas already. lolz.

Before giving this away, I wanted to show it to you first.


This is a good shade and can pass as most people's MLBB. I just don't think pink lipstick looks good on me so I didn't fell inlove with this shade. 

Bare lips.
Haven't applied any lip product for the day. 


Already wearing Almond Pink in the picture above.

Powder Matte - Almond Pink

While it looks beautiful and simple at the first minutes of swatching, it turns ashy on me after sometime. Maybe it's my undertone or the chemicals in my body (?) that react to the color but this is not something I wear for a long period of time - because it'll look dull eventually especially at night. This should not be the case for everyone though. 



Nonetheless, it's a beautiful shade that will suit especially those like me with morena skintone. During those short grocery trips or errands, I wore this. It looks better than my bare lips after all.

The other night we were able to try some  a lot of food that are offered at the newest food park here in Quezon City - The Yard: Streetfood Cinema. It's the first ever cinema and food park here in Metro Manila. 

As you enter the place, you'd notice that the food stalls are all in theme. Their concessionaires have movie/series-based themes such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Monsters Inc., Lion King and so much more.




Good thing I stayed...

Infairness, gusto ko 'yung effect ng lighting dun sa The Yard. Ang ganda. 



Naughty Nachos' Mouth Breather

Nachos with cheese, bacon and jalapeno bits.

Grab your beer and this nachos especially for those who are into spicy food. The serving is quite big so if you're a group of 2-3 then this will last a long time of kwento.




House of Griddle

Bunless Burger Patty
Beef Bulgogi

I wish I can sit down and eat these two but since we were served a lot of food that night, I was only able to taste the viand. I loved the sauce of the bunless burger but it's their beef bulgogi that I kept reaching for. It's very flavorful and tender. 





We were busy taking pictures of the food and it was quiet when somebody from the second floor shouted. Naturally, all the attention went to them and that's when I learned that The Yard Quenchers serve drink in a very creative and interactive way. What happens is that they will ask you to wear props and be like Hulk or Thor before you get to drink the cocktail and ask you to hit the table.... ooops, the whole thing is for you to see when you get there.




Crazy Cream

Crazy Puff
Wasabi Ice Cream

The meringue isn't too sweet, just the way I like mine. The nitrogen (smoke) makes it more interesting than just having to eat it plain. This is perfect for sweet toothed people. 

Wasabi Ice Cream was interesting as well. It initially is sweet and after a while, you'll be able to taste the wasabi in it. It wasn't that spicy but the wasabi taste is there.



Smokey Wazowski from Stuff It

This cheese burger has everything that I like in a burger - bacon, onion ring, and a flavorful patty. 



Top Dawgs

I've already blogged about them when I first tried their hotdog sandwich in a food park in Maginhawa. And just like before, I love everything in this bun. I love pesto and though it's (pesto and hotdog bun) not something I would've thought on my own, the flavor combination from Top Dawgs works.



Crazy Sushi MNL

Crazy Ramen Long


Do you know someone one who tears paper whenever he/she is talking on the phone? Or is it just me? :)) I placed this Crazy Ramen Long in front of me while having conversation and I would break a piece and eat. I jokingly told them, "Ito 'yung bagay ipakain sa hindi umiinom pero nakiki-pulutan." I love how crunchy the noodles is. Wala lang. Ang sarap papakin! Hindi ko nga tinigilan eh. hahaha!



Pitmaster Grill

Grilled Pork Belly

Perfectly cooked and flavorful. The BBQ and the pork belly were tender. 



The God Pasta

Bulalo Pasta


This was placed on the other end of our table and when I came near here, I first wondered if it was pasta or pancit 'cause  of the bulalo bone in the center. And so I got bite of the meat and it  was very tender, I also got some of the pasta and I loved it at first bite. I think this one is carbonara-based which wasn't overly creamy. I am surprised that this tasted better than I expected. Good job, The God Pasta! Must try!





Tikka Tikka Shawarma Burrito

Tikka Beef

tikka, tikka, ano ba 'to? Char. :))

Tipong can't decide if you want shawarma or shawarma rice, get yourself a shawarma burrito. 




Pipa Pizza

Shawarma Pizza

This was my favorite of all the food that we had that night. It tasted simple but the flavors complimented each other so well. I loved the crunchy crust that is made from thin tacos. 'Yun nga, dahil manipis, pinagpatong ko na, besh 'yung dalawa sa isang kagat! hahaha



Above Sea Level


BIG HUUUUUUUUG bago kita kainin!

You'd see a lot of tables having Above Sea Level's Butterfly Squid so I guess this one's a crowd favorite. Can't blame them because it's tender and not rubbery. I love this with a vinegar dip.



Mac and Chicks

Sriracha Wings


I was about to grab one when I asked what the flavor was and it was sriracha. Luh. Haha. I'm not good in eating spicy food so I was hesitant but I still got one. Well, it wasn't that spicy. Ito na, guys, chance mag sriracha na hindi masyado maanghang oh! 



Cold Layer Cafe

I know that with chocolate you can rarely go wrong but there are some that go overboard resulting to an overly sweet dessert. Thankfully, that isn't the case with Cold Layer Cafe. There are more than three kinds of chocolate topping above but since the ice cream wasn't too sweet, I enjoyed this a lot. 



Quarter Chicken by A Taste of Africa

They say that you'd get to know a lot about a country when you taste their cuisine. Anyway, Africa is one of my dream countries and I've long wanted to try their cuisine but it's not a usual one here in the Philippines. So I was surprised when I saw A Taste of Africa in The Yard. Their peri-peri is uniquely served hanging like that. I am not into spicy food so the chicken was completely fine to me but you might like it more dipped in their special sauce. 



Q'urros Spanish Donuts


Chimney Twirls




Hakuna Patata

Get your potato fix from Hakuna Patata.

These balls has beef inside and the sauce is the one in the syringe. The sauce has activated charcoal which explains the color. 



Lord of the Ribs

Ribs Popcorn
Ribs Dynamite


Dyanamite. :)) Tawang tawa ko rito. Tapang ko pa eh. 

I got one and immediately took a bite of their dyanamite. 'Yung first bite, di ko nakagat 'yung chili and so I had another one..... hahahahaha OMG INUMIN PLEASE. :))) It was spicy perfect for people who love spicy food but something not for me, I'd have the Ribs Popcorn anytime. 



My open cinema dreams just came true! :))
In case you're wondering where the outdoor cinema is, they're still assembling it but the picture above will be where they're gonna put the projector for all the diners to see. 


Some people I know told me that they're tired of going to food parks since they're all the same. Well, it's good that Streetfood Cinema has started operating so I have something to show those people. I'm really into the movie themed stalls - the concessionaires and The Yard are impressively creative that you'd want to go through each stall just so you'd see how they named their food (and stalls) which are all in line with the theme. It's a whole new level a food park concept so expect not only delicious and reasonably priced food options but also a unique experience when you dine here.





This foodpark is a three storey food park with ample parking space so there will definitely be something for everyone.
