Belated Happy Halloween Post

We had this event at work called "Spooktograph"- a showcase of Halloween costumes.

I wanted to be a dead head (just like during my SITELdays. picture on friendster) and so I suggested that to be our team's theme and this was how I looked like:


morbid ba? LOL

We came up with Adam's Family with Cedie (ang munting prinsipe) with four dead heads served in a plater. Unfortunately, for compliance, I am not allowed to post the team's photo here. Kaya Pagtyagaan nyo na ako. Hehehe! Oh and by the way our team won first place! Yeah baby!

More of me:



Happy Halloween!


*Thanks to Ann for taking my picture at the Ladies Room.

Loving Human Nature!

To my dear brothers and sisters in Christ I do not mean the "flesh" by saying Human Nature I mean this:


Hehe!

I've been a dealer and a product user since July this year and I certainly loving it more and more!


We use all of the products shown in the picture above. Adik di ba? :-)

So allow me to share just few product reviews, based on my personal experience:
  • Strengthening Shampoo and Body Peppermint Scent - hiyang naman sya sa hair ko and my skin loves it! the smell is therapeutic
  • Strengthening Shampoo and Body Cucumber Scent - I like this better and I was sad to learn that this has been phased out. The scent is really sweet and clean smelling.
  • Gugo Bark and Calamansi Strengthening Conditioner - helped me got rid of dandruff.
  • Calendula and Seaweed Facial Wash - I so love the sweet smell and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all after washing! It's refreshing and again I really love the scent! Parang candy!
  • Luxury Body Scrub (Cocoa Butter, Lemongrass and brown Rice) - The first time I used it, I really felt its exfoliating effect on my skin. And the smell? Oh so relaxing!
  • Hand and Body Lotion Strawberry scent - My favorite among 4 choices of lotion. I love the sweet smell and how it moisturizes my skin without the sticky-icky feeling. And i use this as my perfume. i no longer use cologne ever since I bought this lotion.
  • Choco-Vanilla Lip balm - Super sarap ng amoy nya! Pero wala syang lasa! I love the fact that it really keeps my lips moisturized. The first time I used thier lip balm, Peppermint flavor (I borrowed Raya's) when I was on the verge of getting a wind burn, I couldn't believed that it worked really fast and I did not ended getting that ouch feeling of hot burning sensation on my lips. Promise! So I bought their Lip Balm Saver's kit (consists of 3 flavors) and fell in love with the Choco-Vanilla.
  • Tomato and Lemongrass Toner - no sting until I used this along with a petroleum based product, I learned that that shouldn't be-- it defeat the purpose of using an all-nature beauty care if you're still using chemical based-- so after that experience I gave up using all chemical based products. I love this toner.
  • Sunflower beauty oil - most reviews said that this product lightened the dark spots under their eyes but I can't prove that because I do not have dark spots on mine! Hahaha! But I love this, I use this as moisturizer and facial cleanser (especially if I am so sleepy and so tinatamaad to wash my face).
  • Exfoliating Facial Scrub - I love this! It is not like the usual facial scrub that leaves you feeling-- sinand paper ang mukha na dry na dry. In fact, it exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time! At super tipid gamitin! I bought the 50ml last July and I still have it until today, di pa ubos.
  • Day Moisturizer (Sunflower and Papaya) - I use this at night before leaving for work after bathing, yun ang araw ko eh! Hehe. Okay lang. Nothing so special for me... Although may ilan akong friends na hindi nahiyang dito at tinigyawat. The Human Nature contact person said first feed back daw na ganun yun. Oh well, sa akin hiyang naman sya.
  • Night Moisturizer (Royal Jelly and Aloe Vera) - Okay lang din. Hehe. Medyo mahapdi lang pag sumobra ang lagay ko. Both of their moisturizer ay matipid gamitin!
  • Styling Cream (Acapulco and Mango Butter) - I seldom use this but I like it. Enough lang yung "power" nya to hold my hair style (as if naghe-hair style ako! Hahaha!)
  • Original Hair mask (Mango Butter, Peppermint scent) - This is one of my best sellers! I love it.. The smell and the soft hair it gives me after use. Once a week lang ito kasi it's like hot oil cream.
  • Moisturising Massage Oil - I bought the Lemongrass scent but I like the Eucalyptus scent better, which is more therapeutic.
  • Mineral Make-up and blush on- I love it! I love it! I love it! Thank God organic beauty products are available and affordable!
...Yun lang muna for now! I will post more of my best sellers next time. If you happen to be interested, like you want to buy or you want to be a dealer, don't hesitate to leave a comment below. Give me your e-mail or number (and just let me know if you do not want it published so I won't) so I can get in touch with you.

Oh! By the way, I'm also selling organic house-cleaning products by Green Care. :-)

and again and again and again...

Here goes that feeling of not-wanting-to-wait again...


.Sigh.
So I have two words for me today: BE PATIENT!
"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." -Romans 8:25 

"And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised." -Hebrews 6:15

"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." -2 Peter 3:9

Will not be tired of counting...

Although I'm praying I won't lose count. Hehehe.

Happy 25th month my Beloved!

Thanking God for you, always!

Year End

As I have mentioned-- I don't deserve it... Pero like I always say: napaka faithful talaga Nya!

For the past months my stats has been just "meeting the expectation"... Just for the record, in my 3 years of working in this firm, I think this is the only year that I haven't gotten a perfect score (well, yet since the year has not ended) and few months ago it got me worried because I know it would affect my appraisal...

Fast forward to this month (October), my Supervisor talked to me  couple of days ago regarding my Year-To-Date (YTD) standing and asked me to do the annual self assessment, which I did... During our one-on-one session she showed me my score for the past year (from October 2009 to October 2010) I was, as I expected on the "meeting the expectation" group... But then when my Supervisor asked me for another one-on-one just a couple of hours ago today she showed me her final rating to me:

This is indeed a favor from the Lord! An unexpected one...

God, You're so good and Your blessing overflows!

Thank You!

I don't deserve it!


Ann - I know we haven't really grown that tight as friends but I appreciate all the things you have given me- the chocolates (oh you just don't know how I love toblerone!), donut, fruit shake and two pairs of earrings... What have i done to deserve it? I can't think of any...well, as of yet! Hehe. But thank you so much friend! I;m so glad I have you as a new found friend at work!

My Connect Family - You are my source of encouragement, strength, inspiration and love. Thank you for all the love, concern and all the prayers. I know I don't deserve all the kindness and lots of patience you've shown because I know maraming beses na nakaka-asar ako and yet you guys remain true and loving and gracious. Na-o-overwhelm ako when I think of how blessed I am to have you!

T.Carol - How can I say thank you for your love and concern to me? And even to my siblings and my family? Naiiyak ako sa sobrang tuwa pag naiisip ko lahat lahat ng discipleship sessions natin, lahat ng mga realizations, prayers and all that God taught me through you... Thank you for being a "Mom" to me. Thank you for crying with me, laughing with me, mourning with me (over my sins) and for your tough-sweet-love!

John - I sometimes think that don't deserve having you as my boyfriend but I'm really grateful to have you. I still stand amazed at how the Lord is showing His kindness to me through you... His warm embrace and comfort through yours... and His wonderful love through the love you've given me and the love that you are giving me unconditionally! I love you so much and I thank the Lord for you!

God - Your grace always amazes me even if I know I don't deserve it... More than anything in this world, Your grace ang pinaka-hindi ko deserve... And yet You chose me, You love me and gave Your life for my as atoning sacrifice for my sin. I'm sorry Lord that there are so many billion times that I take your grace for granted... That I take your forgiveness as "cheap" forgetting that it cost you death on the cross... Oh Lord, I know I do not deserve You but thank You, thank You! No words can express how emotionally thankful and grateful I am... My only prayer is that You will continue to enable me to walk in under Your grace. Because oh yeah, I AM A PRODUCT OF YOUR AMAZING GRACE!
