Food Friday

I was pleasantly surprised when hubby arrived two nights ago bringing doughnuts ... normally I'd ask for him to buy me a pack (... I didn't ask for anything that day). lol

*will be posting Food Friday here until my other blog is up and running ... many thanks to everyone for being patient and understanding. :)

**additional info: my other blog is now up, but am not sure if there are still malicious scripts behind; need to wait and see some more before I host back Food Friday there... and please ... if that site tells you to download something --- DON'T! that's the malicious script 'talking', and it means I haven't fully deleted them/it yet. haaayyyy.

Hanging on ...

Hanging on for dear life ...

Acne

When I was young we had this helper who had pimples on her face. Not just your 'usual' pimples, but it really seemed like her whole face was covered with them! Since she didn't have any idea what to put on her face, she tried different home remedy for acne and I think one of them was trying putting calamansi juice on her whole face. Kind of drastic, I think, since the calamansi is highly acidic. Well, I guess it helped clean her face; though it must have been painful if she had any breaks on her skin. I do know that she also used hot face towel sometimes .... though nothing ever seemed to work at that time for her.

Last time I saw her, she no longer had any pimples, but scars were visible. Life, huh?!

Ohws? :D

I know, the word art doesn't go well with the shot. LOL. :D

Taller?

I think that my height is relatively on the "normal" range for my age and gender (and my being Asian). But believe me, I once thought of taking one of those human growth hormone supplements while I was still in my teens. Not that I was the shortest in my class, but mostly because I just wanted to be taller. Guess that's a perfect example of someone who's never ever satisfied, huh?! I was a teenageer, then; so full of insecurities. I still have my insecurities, though not as plenty. LOL

Chicken and Pimples

After I gave birth to my eldest son I developed these ugly pimples on my face; which I knew then needed acne scar removal! Well, it wasn't really that bad, but for someone who never had a pimple on her face while in high school and college, it was quite frightening as well as frustrating. I told myself that I was maybe a 'late bloomer', lol. An older sister also had acne when she was about to graduate from college, so I guess it runs in the family: the late 'acne sprouting'.

I found out later on that the daily dose of chicken (my son loved eating chicken) was the main reason for my outbreak. So, decided to stop that and the result was pretty dramatic. I still get pimples every now and then. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as before!

Wrinkles, anyone?

I read somewhere that some people need wrinkle cream even at a young age. I mean, you start using anti-wrinkle cream at a young age, like when you are twenty years old. Am not too sure if that's really true; as for me, I didn't know about that until I was past my twenties! LOL. I don't really worry about wrinkles (not yet, anyway), but I do know that I need to put moisturizers on my face since sometimes I feel like my skin is so taut and itchy. Maybe it's because I use soap on my face most of the time.

I should take good care of my skin, I know. Am just soooo lazy! ;P
