Dress Right

by desperateblogger | 6/02/2012 10:35:00 AM | 0 special thoughts »

I just know that I do have an "okay" sense of fashion as I do look good once I really dress for an occasion. I tend to opt for classical cuts and styles because I look good in those cuts. Also, classic-style clothes can be worn for years and years,

At times I tend to obsess on womens fashion clothing. Sure, new cuts and styles seem great but I just can't bring myself to wear most of them. Knowing my body, I just know if I'll look or bad in a style.... that is why I can't understand why most women, young and old, insist on wearing clothes that they look "blah" in. Girls.... know your body type so you can dress yourselves in style. Dress your age!

        Wall Mural in the Preschool Room

I just had to revamp the preschool room of our church's school. The existing paint was 1 foot strips of varied (yucky) colors. I wanted to do something different so I decided to paint a wall mural. Oh the design was not original but I think I did a good job "imitating" the design.What do you think?

New HIgh School Restrooms

by desperateblogger | 6/02/2012 10:13:00 AM | 0 special thoughts »

As member of out church school's Board, I saw fit to "meddle" with the repairs, repainting and revamping of the restrooms and classrooms. I just had to do something about the shocking pink and blue color-combination of the classrooms and the chipped and dirty tiles and water closets of the restrooms. Oh, there were lots of opposition from the higher-ups as they prefer shocking and bright colors than my milder and calmer yet interesting color combinations. Guess who won?

The restrooms were another story. They were dirty and crumbling. I had to design two additional bathrooms at the high school building which was hard for I had to install drainage and water lines in an existing building. The finished restrooms are fine. I  even placed a  bathroom vanity in each toilet. With very limited time and budget, the restrooms were fine. I

Back in the days when  the first generation bellbottomed-denim pants thrived, my skin was so flawlessly fair and pink. Most called m beautiful complexion "balat sibuyas" as it was soft, smooth. Over the years of Cavite sun and salty air, the travails of motherhood and familyhood, my fair and youthful skin gradually faded. I woke up one morning and saw staring back at me, a taunt,dark and melasma-spotted face! Oh no! I looked so old!

I don't have the time and inclination (and money) to troop to the nearest dermatologist to fix my face. I just want to look the melasma out and for my face complexion to even out. I heard about SkinWhite - that it's supposed to you that :"beautiful blush white skin". Alright. It had me at "beautiful".

Well, the result was not instant but in a week's time I saw some improvements. After a month's use, the melasma are barely visible. In two month's, the melasma is gone and my skin was more subtle, with less wrinkles. In three month's time, my friends said I looked like a "meztisa" as my facial complexion is fair and pink!

Seems like SkinWhite has that  SYNCHROWHITE ACTION that:

WHITENS the skin’s surface
REDUCES formation of new dark pigments at its source
NOURISHES skin with Vitamins
PROTECTS skin against toxins and UV rays

... and that is how I got my beautiful blush white skin! Even my three Princes Charming (hubby, my son and Ethan) noticed!

Happy Mom's Day to Me

by desperateblogger | 5/14/2012 11:37:00 AM | 5 special thoughts »

Countless moms the world over were toasted, honored, loved and showered with gifts on Mother's Day. Even the pastor's sermon yesterday was tied up with the occasion. There are moms who were treated-out for lunch or dinner, given  flowers, chocolates and cakes. Some, undoubtedly,  received expensive gifts from their children. I did not receive traditional gifts such as flowers, perfume or any article of clothing. My kids (and grandkids) are more creative than that. I received something priceless.
