Human Nature is ❤!!!

Human Nature's products are 100% guaranteed no harmful chemicals &100% manufactured in the Philippines. The company is known to be Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment. I recently tried their hair care product, 100% Natural Moisturizing Shampoo with CREAMFoam Technology, it is said to work as a lotion together with Philippine coco nectar and pure avocado oil to keep your hair soft and moisturized from root to tips. 24 amino acids, 17 vitamins and 14 minerals will give you truly healthy hair without the dryness and irritation from chemical shampoos. The shampoo smells so yummy and it will make your hair healthier & shinier. I paired it with their Natural Moisturizing conditioner, it is made up of avocado oil, seaweed extract and organic virgin coconut oil, it will leave your hair soft and healthy. Both products were equally impressive. 

If you wanna try some of their products, just pm me. There are many products available from make up, hair care, facial and lip care, hand and body care to baby/kids care products. I sell it on SRP (Suggested Retail Price). It's about time that we start using natural products, affordable na nakakatulong pa tayo sa kalikasan.

Sencha Milk Tea Place in Davao!

I love milk tea and so when I visited Davao City last weekend, I invited my sisters to go with me at Sencha Milk Tea Place along Magsaysay Street. It's easy to find, fronting Shanghai Restaurant and beside Chickies & Patties. 

First thing that caught my attention was their furnitures, it looks nice. And the colors complimented the place. The place looks cozy and it has a good ambiance. 

cute tables & chairs

We ordered their Sencha  Signature Milk Tea, Caramel Pearl Milk Tea & Aromatic Jasmine Milk Tea. We ordered sandwiches but they were not available according to their crew. Authentic Japanese Takoyaki lang daw ang available. And so we ordered Takoyaki on their menu (it taste good). The drinks were ok too.

They gave us this gadget after we ordered. It will light up and vibrate when order is ready.

My Digital Perm Experience at Tony & Jackey, SM Davao.

December 30, 2011, it was Friday and I was ready to have my hair digitally permed at Tony & Jackey. Tony & Jackey has been known to have good service especially hair rebonding & digital perming. 


According to Wikipedia:

“A digital perm is a perm which uses hot rods with the temperature regulated by a machine, which has a digital display, hence the name. However, the process of the perm is quite analogous. The name “Digital Perm” is also copyrighted by a Japanese company, PAIMORE Co., Ltd.[1]  Hair stylists usually call it a “hot perm”, but it is commonly known as a “digital perm”.” 


I spent almost 30 minutes talking to the receptionist, asking all questions. I was glad that she's uber accomodating. After all the inquiries, I finally gave it a go!!!



I decided to avail their Loreal Setting Digital Perm with Haircut plus Treatment because it uses a milder formula and it does less damage than the Aqua Setting Digital Perm (Korean formula which are suitable for Koreans daw).

First, they applied a hair treatment solution on my hair kasi my hair is color treated and it was dry na din due to many treatments that it went through. Actually it was the main reason that I want it permed na, I cant manage it anymore. My hair was dry & frizzy and so I wanted a wash and go hairstyle. 

My dry & frizzy hair before digital perm.

After the hair treatment, my Korean hairstylist layered my hair para daw maganda ang curls. And then the digital perming begins. 

The machine looks scary. (",)

The whole process lasted for 4 hours. I loved the curls but expectedly my hair came out dry pa din. But it was ok atleast hindi masyado halata with my now curly hair. I was told not to wash my hair for 48 hours.

My digitally permed hair.

TIPS from my stylist:
1. TWIST & SCRUNCH - Twist & Scrunch your locks upwards. It will help you maintain the curls. 
2. GEL, MOUSE & CREAMS - These are needed due to dryness.
3. DONT BRUSH - Dont brush your hair because it will loosen up your curls.

Reading this post made me shed a tear! An outrageous act from a 9 year old boy.
Sharing it with you! 
Repost from Fraisen 


Last night, I was sent to a little grammar school to help a charity organization distribute food to the refugees. It was a long line that snaked this way and that and I saw a little boy around 9 years old. He was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

It was getting very cold and the boy was at the very end of the line. I was worried that by the time his turn came there wouldn't be any food left. So I spoke to him. He said he was at school when the earthquake happened. His father worked nearby and was driving to the school. The boy was on the third floor balcony when he saw the tsunami sweep his father's car away. 

I asked him about his mother. He said his house is right by the beach and that his mother and little sister probably didn't make it. He turned his head and wiped his tears when I asked about his relatives.

The boy was shivering so I took off my police jacket and put it on him. That's when my bag of food ration fell out. I picked it up and gave it to him. "When it comes to your turn, they might run out of food. So here's my portion. I already ate. Why don't you eat it?"

The boy took my food and bowed. I thought he would eat it right away, but he didn't. He took the bag of food, went up to where the line ended and put it where all the food was waiting to be distributed. 

I was shocked. I asked him why he didn't eat it and instead added it to the food pile. He answered: "Because I see a lot more people hungrier than I am. If I put it there, then they will distribute the food equally."

When I heard that I turned away so that people wouldn't see me cry. 

A society that can produce a 9-year-old who understands the concept of sacrifice for the greater good must be a great society, a great people. 

Well, a few lines to send you and your family my warm wishes. The hours of my shift have begun again.
