sOmang Cosmetics - Ecopure Moisture Fore Essential Skin Care Gift Set

I am envious to Koreans' skin...their white complexion, the small pores and the tight feature of their face. The cold weather and healthy food plays a big role of what they have now, but they are also known to manufacture and distribute many beauty products and one of the them is sOmang Cosmetics. I only heard this product when I got here in Singapore, and thanks to Plus Big Deal, I am one of the lucky winner to get this product.



I redeemed at sOmang NEX branch, the Danahan Ecopure Fore Moisture Essential Skin Care Set. I do not use anything on my face religiously, all I know is to make it clean, and thats it. But I am frantic once there some zit on it, hehe. Once I got this set, I immediately cleansed my face with water and Abbey's facial wash, shaked the toner for the oil and and essences to be mixed, put 3-4 drops at a cotton then tapped gently on my face. Toner was absorbed after 5mins then I put on the emulsion cream, just a few drops, then leave. Oh I used this before going to bed. 





Noticed the following:
1. The smell of emulsion cream do not smell good, its is not that bad, but not enticing. The first time I used it, I really want to wash it off. 
2. This 30ml can last up to 1 month of daily use. 
3. As promised, my face looks nourished and really glowing. 
4. In continues use, zits starts to appear most specially on my forehead area. 
5. I do hope they have an english translation on every box. 

Overall... I just like it. Try it for yourself. Please visit their page. ;) This pack cost $39.90.

Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie's Meringue

I am missing some junkies of Philippines and one of those I miss a lot is the taste of (merenge)  meringue that costs me P1.00 per pack or $S0.29. The taste of it so sweet and the crackling sound of every bite excites my taste buds. 



I am loud to all my food cravings that's why maybe Abbey bought this out of the blue. You know everytime I pass by here at their Raffles City Branch I keep on looking on the their displayed delights. Haha. And so I have my meringue. Thanks Baby. 




Unlike the meringue cheapos the taste of this meringue is very different, they were packed with flavors. Not too sweet yet made me happy. This is a great hit for Brianna and Daniella too haha. We love the big one Abbey but this is top much too handle for four people in one seating. Hehe.

3 Days of Blindness




What a wonderful world!, isn't? But how will someone say this phrase if they are blind. Black all around. I was moved by this article of Helen Keller  first published last ---. Helen made a list a of the things she wants to do if she'll be given a sense of sight in three days. Reading that, I am quite shocked, there are so many things that I am taking for granted. Actually almost everything around me was not appreciated.

I know, these eyes is a vital part of human being but If Almighty will take out my eyes, what will I do in three days. Just thinking, my gosh, all negative thoughts rushing down in me. But I need to look on a brighter side.

Okay, on the first day, I will wake up 7am and stay at my room, I will embrace the full hour of silence. Then I will ask my husband to come near me and I will try to memorize his face features, I will try to communicate with him and ask him all questions I can ask and memorize the ups and downs of his voice. I will try to determine if he is happy, sad, sincere through the words and voice that will left his mouth, that will last until noon and my whole afternoon, I will ask my niece and nephews to gather around at my parents place and all I want to do is hear all their voices. All the shouts of joy of the kids and laughter's of reminiscing. We will take dinner and savor all the aroma of the foods. I will eat all the food I can take and slowly chew every bit of it. In evening I will ask my husband to play some Mozart music and ask him to teach me how to find my boxes of teas and how to prepare it for myself.

Second day, I will ask my friends to bring me to a beach, I will sunbathe. I want to feel the morning rays of the sun and  hear the sounds of gushing waves. After lunch I nap just outside a cottage. Why outside? I want to feel the summer breeze. Around dawn I want me and my friends help me to stroll along the shore, I want to feel the hotness of every grains of the sand on my feet. On dinner I will ask them to build a bonfire and have a dinner and sip some red wine. I will spend all my time to listen to their stories and I will just move mouth to speak once they ask me. Haha.

On my 3rd day, I want to be one with nature, I want to go to a park and want to conquer my fear to lizards. Eeeeeee! I want to inhale fresh oxygen from the plants. My afternoon to my last hour of darkness, I want to be with my husbands arm. I want to listen to the Words from Bible.

As I made a thought for that idea, who says darkness is sadness? Now, I will start to appreciate more on the things around me before the unseen comes. Why? everything I can see here in earth is temporal and the unseen is yet to come and eternal.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:18
