Human Nature Sunflower Oil




"Sunflower Beauty oil is packed with vitamins A, D & E to help fight wrinkles and naturally protect skin from infections and irritants. Best applied to the sensitive under-eye area.... make-up remover...help lighten dark circles under eyes and even stretch marks with daily use "

I used HHN Sunflower Oil for removing eyeliner as follows  (learned from animetric):
Just one drop, apply with finger tip,
 Wipe with cotton balls,
 and voila =D (I used TonyMoly waterproof eyeliner btw)

I find it not hard to wash afterwards with HHN Hydrating facial wash.
My mom also love this product, she uses it on her face as night moisturizer and raves how it makes her skin supple the following day.

Sally Hansen Anti Chip Top Coat

Last weekend, my first time to try Sally Hansen Anti Chip Dry Coat.




 1. Wet n wild Megalast as basecoat
2. Orly in Haute Red
 3. Sally Hansen Anti Chip Dry Coat

 Yesterday, it started to chip eh? O_o I thought it'll last for a week

















Well, I'm not very choosy in nail polishes/ lacquer - whether it is expensive or not, they chip anyway -_-

 What I like: it really dries fast = 30 seconds only!

Lunch at Persia Grill

After the  Uncle Moe's Shawarma kebab experience, mike said he'll bring me to Persia Grill to taste the difference.

Compared to Uncle Moe's, this one is not very tasty and kinda dry.
Beef Kebab,Buttered rice, Eggplant yogurt Php120
I like that Eggplant side dish =D

Mike eats here always but surprisingly he didn't figured out that it was made from eggplant O_o

We also had Kebab wrap (below)

Our first time to taste Baklava. Hmmm taste like a bread with pineapple syrup.



Baklava for dessert P85 for 2 small pcs

Weekend Salcedo Market

We discovered it by chance on our way to Valero St. ;)
Very much like Banchetto, but you can also buy fresh produce here.
I bought 1 pineapple for P35 =D

Roamed around the place and got curious on samosa
We tried one, and its good! Much tastier than 'empanada'

Sherlock 2010 TV Series

You have to watch this!!!!

Watched this few weeks ago and I can't wait for the Season 2 to be aired by 2012!? What!? Argggh!
bf and I watched it straight, season 1 has only 3 episodes, yes, 3 episodes only at 90mins each which leaves you hanging!!!

This TV series is a modern take on Sherlock novel. You'll be amazed how they fitted the story in our modern time.

Oh well a long wait for Sherlock season 2  ;( huhu, waah!!!!!!

We have started the Game of Thrones series but didn't get hook in it so we haven't finish it yet. So maybe we should watch it for the now and also the Spartacus series.

So let me say this again, I can't wait for Sherlock season 2  ;( huhu, waah!!!!!!

Human Nature Natural Shampoo

Unboxing wee! Online shopping is really hassle free!


Oh they have new box design























My usual haul- facial wash, toner, pressed powder, shampoo and body wash.
Combined orders for me, bf and tita ;)


Finally, I can now try their shampoo with cream foam technology, it was always sold out for the past months.
I like their new container design =) 


From HumanNature website:

A huge scientific breakthrough from Human Nature Natural Care Labs! CREAMFoam® works like a lotion together with Philippine coco nectar and pure avocado oil to keep your hair soft and moisturized from roots to tips. 24 amino acids, 17 vitamins and 14 minerals give you truly healthy hair without the dryness or irritation from chemical shampoos. 


Most shampoos are filled with SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and many other synthetic chemicals that have been linked to hormone disruption, cancer, premature ageing and other risks. We all know this, but is there an alternative that will not break the bank?






Add only Php50 for delivery within Manila. Also ships worldwide.

Programmer Bill of Rights

From Coding Horror

  1. Every programmer shall have two monitors
  2. Every programmer shall have a fast PC
  3. Every programmer shall have their choice of mouse and keyboard
  4. Every programmer shall have a comfortable chair
  5. Every programmer shall have a fast internet connection
  6. Every programmer shall have quiet working conditionsProgramming requires focused mental concentration. Programmers cannot work effectively in an interrupt-driven environment. Make sure your working environment protects your programmers' flow state, otherwise they'll waste most of their time bouncing back and forth between distractions.

#6 is oh so true!!!!! 


I am working with our clients together in a room so no choice with their heavy phone calls. 
Listening to music (of my choice) is one solution as it filters what you don't want to hear.
I also discovered that instrumental music is better than music with lyrics.
"Of my choice",  I said as we have different tastes.  


I like it there somehow because of the roaming snack cart (or merienda cart as they call it) =D  serving  coffee, calamansi juice, ice tea and other snack items at very affordable prices.
(But oh well much better if unlimited coffee...)
There's a waiter who will refill your water (of course this is free)
Hello sedentary life!




I really find this helpful especially for me who is always glued to my seat. 
Would you believe, I haven't been to the building's cafeteria! haha! 
I wish all IT offices has a "feature" like this.

Human Nature Love Minerals Lipstick Pink Skies

I have dark lips and this lipstick from Human Nature - Pink Skies shade helps cover that. =)

My first PINK lipstick ever hehe. I'm used to wearing dark lipstick shade before. I didn't think it will suit my morena skintone.


In person, the pink shade  made me look girlaloo haha 
I'm not a girly girly type so these photos would be the first girlish photo of me haha! 

Using FB, it made me look wearing nude lipstick so I would be keeping this shade whenever I feel like wearing heavy eyeliner.


I just like the FB border as it is so I didn't remove it haha
I will review next the Earth Angel shade ;) And as a response to HHN Goodness Mission I will review HHN products that I use everyday here in my blog ;) 

From HumanNature website:
Gawad Kalinga Village Pueblo Antonio in Catigan Davao del Sur is home to a passion fruit farming community that sells their harvest for a mere P10 per kilo - barely enough to sustain a family with dignity. 100% of all profit earned from the sale of this lipstick will fund the development of a processing facility for passion fruit seed oil that can command a much higher price, creating a more sustainable and dependable livelihood for the community. The program will continue until the facility is fully funded.

Experience lip color so rich in moisture that your lips flourish and blossom in healthy beauty! 100% natural and completely free from synthetic chemicals, our lipstick fuses the moisture power from passion fruit seed oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and rice bran oil to delivery silky, softening, smoothening color to your lips. So you get lips so beautiful, they can only be natural!

Available in 4 Shades:

A. Pink Skies (Pinks/Mauves)
B. Coral Kiss (Peaches/Corals)
C. Sweet Nectar (Neutrals)
D. Earth Angel (Browns)
