Independence
The most number of days I've been away from my parents (as of now) is 7. And on March, I'm skipping a whole bunch of levels because I'll be away from them for 2.5 months. I'm not talking about the "away" kind where I can just grab a bus and head back home at any time of the day... it's the kind of "away" that's definite. Unless I come up with insane amounts of moolah, I'm pretty much stuck where I'm staying.
I'm not in solitude. I'll be living with my mom's sisters but I still have to learn how to adapt. I'm not used to their habits and they're not familiar with mine. In some way, I'm giving them some sort of inconvenience because they'll be modifying their daily routine just for me. But family is always welcome. I suppose.
Homesick is my biggest issue of course... But I do have to develop some sense of independence eventually, and where else better to practice it but in the land of the free. Labels: essays REVIEW: Syoss Airly Curl
I've been on a hunt for curling creams since the one that I have been using (Hyssop Organic Brown Rice Glossing Fluid) works like a gel and makes my hair stiff. It doesn't damage my hair but stiff hair isn't attractive. So when I saw Syoss Airly Curl Cream being sold at Noel's Bazaar in Alabang, I just had to try it. I do not recommend this. I am okay with the texture during the application since I've been working with creams and solutions for 3 years now. It's super sticky which is a must for holding curls so I was impressed at first. However... after some time, at around early afternoon, I noticed my hair being covered with white dust-like stuff. It seems to me as if my hair is stripping a coat. At first I even blamed my cheapass conditioner, Alberto V05 (priced around $2), which I started using simultaneously with the Syoss Airy Curl Cream. It boggled me since I have used a variety of V05 products before so I figured it had to be something else. So I experimented... On one day I used the conditioner w/o Syoss and for the next, I used Syoss. And surprise surprise, we have a culprit. I didn't give up though, I tried applying it while my hair is still damp and while it has already been air dried. But to no avail, it still produced the white thingamajigs. It's a bother because it's very visible!! Yuck. Sigh. Still on a hunt.... Suggestions? Novem-bear
Remember how I was supposed to post about my October 20+ weekend? Lost track of my stuff so I kept on putting it off till I realized (just now) that it's already a month after, so yeah the point is moot. So I'll just blog about November...
Digital Life Congress and Expo (an event coordinated by the company I'm interning for)
(Clockwise)
1- This is World Trade Center Manila sans living things. So eerie and unusual.
2 - Digital Tree of Life.
3 - This is where I was stationed most of the time. Registration.
4 - Ingress of Digital Life Congress and Expo. First time to experience the behind the scenes of a trade show. I've been to a lot mind you (car shows, construction, consumer goods) so this is really fascinating. Notice the booths being constructed.

(Clockwise)
1 - Me trying a funny face. Lol. No, it was supposed to be a normal shot but my dad was taking so long on operating my phone that I got distracted (short attention span yo) and looked somewhere else.
2 - Eating with my cousin. I just like how I look here.
3 - My parents' marriage vow renewal. 25 years...
4 - My guilty-pleasure: Candy Corner. I love sour strips and licorice. They make my palate feel weird and scratchy after but I don't care.
Someone's been a bad, bad....
blogger...Guhhh, I need to update soon or I'll lose the motivation to actually take care of this blog. I hope this post can serve as a rev so I can jumpstart on blogging again. :( Just so you know... I barely have time to read books (sad, cry, sigh, weep) so I don't know if I can find time to write. |
