Change the Way You See FRIENDSHIP



"The only way to have a friend is to be one." --- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Well, I have to admit that I was once a loner. I grew up keeping and solving my problems only be myself. I am afraid that people may judge me, thus  never letting myself get out of my comfort zone. But then, something changed this perspective of mine, and that is FRIENDSHIP.

One thing I discovered is that friendship is not only defined as people you meet and share your precious life moments. And I am so happy that with all the things happening around me, my "friends" are here with me to ride the roller coasters of my life.


Friendship is Family



I am so blessed to have a mom and siblings that are my best friends, too. Friendship doesn't have to be with other people only. We never realized that our family is your great friend. They know you, inside and out. They will never leave you, no matter what. Most importantly, they will love you in all ways. And with that, I must say that I have the greatest friendship of my life.


Friends that Travel Together, Stays Forever




It's always been a dream of mine to travel, and discover God's wonders, and that dream came to reality with the help of these people. 

I've been with them for two years now, and most of my memorable moments in life are spent with them. Before, I see my friends as people who I hang out with. But they help me see friendship in a different way. Now, for me, FRIENDSHIP is FAMILY. They are now my siblings from another mother, as others say it. Being with them makes me see that there's more to life, and enjoying it makes every second of your life worthwhile.



We just visited Anawangin Cove last May, and this trip definitely taught me that I have found more than friendship with these people.They painted my life with technicolor.

My friends help me see that life is better with friends. My friendship with them made me realized that while we are having fun, I am also making the fondest memories of my life. With Huawei P9, you will change the way you see Mobile Photography as these memories can be captured with its camera that is co-engineered with Leica, that has dual lenses that can take high-quality photos. It can also take amazing monochrome, slow motion, colored, and light painting photos that will surely left you in awe.

Though we have already parted ways, I will always cherish how my travel buddies help me changed the way I see friendship. Our friendship is like the travels that we have been, when journey is more important than the destination. Indeed, I have found my tribe, and I will them love them hard.

Friendship in Music


Music is also one of the things that changed my perspective on Friendship. It is not just about tangible things that you can make friends with. With music, every sound connects straight to the heart. It is like a language that everybody understands.

With music, I was able to make new friends. Music has also been my best friend to those lonely nights. My friendship with music has made my life a beautiful harmony with an unending melody.

Discovering ME

With my family, friends, and passion for music, I was able to discover myself more. With these discoveries, I was able to see that in able for you to have friends, you have to be friends with yourself first. I realized that my life begins once I'm out of my comfort zone. I am now able to express myself. I am starting to appreciate myself more. I realized that I am the most precious girl in God's eyes. 


It took a while before I was able to change the way I see Friendship. But it was worth it. Friendship is indeed one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself. Friendship is just within you, you just have to change the way you see it.

The Many Benefit of LASER Tag

If you first tell people that you enjoy playing laser tag, odds are that they will be giving you odd looks. Sure, most of the people who play laser tag are middle-school kids, but that does not mean it is any less enjoyable for adults like you. Now, if you really want people to look at you funny, you could tell them about the numerous benefits that they can get from playing laser tag; you might even make them interested in the process.

Okay, is it true that there are benefits to playing laser tag? Of course, you may just be having too much fun playing that you failed to notice them. To get you started, here are some of the more obvious benefits of playing laser tag with your friends.

You’re getting a good workout
This seems obvious enough. You already know that the game will require you to run all over a wide playing area, climbing ladders and stairs; you will also be carrying around quite a bit of weight. You will be donning a vest that houses all of the sensors and other kinds of hardware, that alone weighs a couple of pounds, add to that the weight of the laser rifle and you will actually feel your muscles straining after playing a couple of rounds.

Each round of laser tag usually lasts 15 minutes each; that is 15 straight minutes of running and dodging enemy fire. Your sweat will come pouring out of every pore after playing just a single round of intensely competitive laser tag, and you will certainly burn more than a few hundred calories after an afternoon’s worth of playing.

You will learn to work as a team
Although you can play a free-for-all game of laser tag (which is actually pretty fun), it is best if you play in teams. When you play in teams, you will learn how to strategize to beat the other players. For instance, there is a capture the base mode of play wherein your goal, besides getting the highest scores at the end of the round, is to capture the base of the enemy teams.

Sure, you could all go attacking the other team’s base at once, but odds are they will be waiting for you and will be picking you off one-by-one. You need to strategize and think of a way you can infiltrate the other team’s base while protecting your own base from their attackers.

You will strengthen the bonds you have with your friends
Although you will be shooting at each other (albeit using fake laser rifles) you and your friends will actually feel closer to each other. This may sound corny, but friendships forged in the battlefield (even if when you are using plastic laser rifles and nobody died) last longer.

By now, you must have convinced your other friends that laser tag is not just for kids (if not then you need to try again, harder this time), so you should head on over to the nearest Lazer Extreme branch and tell them to prepare themselves because they are in for a really great time.

New Beauty Loot: Céleteque® DermoCosmetics — Makeup and Skincare In One Fab Package!

If you know me, you’ll find that I’m always on the hunt for new beauty bargains. I’m especially fond of beauty and skincare products that can multitask, because who has the time to go through each step every single day?

So imagine my glee when I discovered Céleteque®’s DermoCosmetics — a line of makeup that has skincare benefits, such as nourishing and anti-aging!

DermoCosmetics covers all the basics of makeup: the Anti-Aging line has the Dual CC Matte Powder, the Dark Spot Concealer Stick, and the 24-hr Photoready Foundation; while the Nourishing line has the Eyebrow Nourishing Serum, the 24-hour Volumizer Mascara, the Cheek Color Stick, the Matte Lip Stick, and the Blush and Face Contour Kit.

I’m not getting any younger, so what I really wanted to check out was the Anti-Aging line. I first tried out the Dual CC Matte Powder (because I’m always a sucker for BB and CC creams) and I absolutely loved the effect! “CC” stands for “color correcting” and it was exactly what I needed to even out my complexion and cover up blemishes and my freckles. I didn’t even need to apply sunscreen before patting on the powder since it already has SPF 30. Plus, it wasn’t greasy at all. I have combo skin, and the powder was able to keep the oiliness on my T-zone at bay.

The Dual CC Matte Powder (PHP745) comes in three shades: light, natural, and beige. It’s packed with vitamin E to fight free radical damage and aging, and collagen peptide to keep my skin firm. To be honest, this product is my personal fave out of the lot!

If you’re extra OC about covering up your skin imperfections, use the Dark Spot Concealer Stick(PHP595) before applying the powder. You can also use it on your eye area to reduce puffiness. Like the powder, it’s full of antioxidants to nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin from aging and free radicals. I dabbed a bit of the concealer on my hard-to-get-rid-of freckles and those darn age spots, blended the powder, and voila! Smooth, blemish-free skin in an instant!

And don’t worry about the shade of the concealer — it suits all sorts of skin types, as well as any skin tone. Just make sure to use your ring finger when smoothing it on your eye area, since that’s the thinnest part and any unnecessary tugging can cause premature sagging.

These two products are definitely going into my everyday kikay kit. I’ve always liked the brand since it’s known for its clinically proven and hypo-allergenic products, and I’m really glad they came up with a cosmetics line that infuses skincare benefits. The Céleteque® DermoCosmeticsline is truly an awesome beauty discovery!

Love Knows No Age: Age of Adaline (2015)



"I've been running for so long. I don't know how to stop."

Age of Adaline is a romance-fantasy movie where a woman stopped growing old at the age of 29 because of some sort of an accident. This film was released on April 24, 2015.

Main Cast:

Blake Lively as Adaline Bowman
Michiel Huisman as Ellis Jones
Harrison Ford as William Jones
Ellen Burstyn as Fleming Prescott

Plot:

The story started when Adaline went to downtown to get her falsified passport and other identification cards. She constantly do this for the last eight decades. As she went back to her apartment, she just fed her dog and get ready to go to work in a library.

While working, she saw a film reel where her life is explained. Adaline Bowman was born on January 01, 1908. She had lived her life with full happiness as she got married and had a daughter which she named Flemming. But that moment was shortened as her husband died in a mining accident. An addition to the agony, as she drove her car to her parents on an unusual snowy night, she met an accident and died on frigid waters. But a strike of lightning gave back her life. Because of this incident, she got a rare condition where her aging stopped. She was only 29 years old. This condition of hers changed her life. She have to switch residence every ten years to keep people wondering of her unchanging appearance.

At present time setting, she went to a New Year's party where she met Ellis. Ellis got attracted with Adaline, but the latter was not interested to have something "more than friends" kind of relationship. The next day, one of her co-workers told her that a benefactor is interested in donating books for the library. finding out that it was Ellis. He told her that he will continue the donation if she agrees to go out with him. At first, she was hesitant but gave in eventually. They have been going out for a couple of times but a flashback of her and a former lover haunt her. This made Adaline left Ellis with no reason.

But Adaline realized that she is already falling for Ellis. She showed up to Ellis' apartment to apologize. Later on, he invited her to celebrate his parents' 40th wedding anniversary. When they got to his parents' house, William Jones, Ellis' father, got amazed as she saw Adaline. He told them that she looks like his friend of his whom he met in England in the 1960s. Adaline told that William is talking about her mom. The night ended with full of laugh.

The following day, as Adaline talked to William, he saw the scar he knew that was Adaline's. Because of this, Adaline had no idea but to tell the truth about her rare condition. William told her that she don't have to run away anymore, but Adaline still refused.

When she drove away from the Jones, she met again an accident when a truck plows into her, and for the second time, she died again. A chain of events is occuring since when a meteor strike the moon in 1178. One event is an unusual snow fall in the city. When rescue officers came, she was revived with a defribillator. The combination of hypothermia and electricity brought her back to life. As she was rushed to the hospital, there she was visited by Flemming and Ellis. Adaline told her daughter that Ellis already knew the truth.

Some time later. Adaline and Ellis is going to a New Year's party, and for the first time, Adaline saw a gray hair. At that time, she knew that she will be living her life as normal as it was supposed to be.

Review:

Age of Adaline taught us one thing: Love knows no time. For me, I find this film interesting since you can easily see the struggle of the main character. Though the rare condition of Adaline, which is some sort of cell ionization, is quite absurd, and no scientific fact is supporting such condition.

The film was able to cover real-time love circumstances, like May-December affair, though the men that Adaline dated never knew that she is 40-60 years older than them. Adaline has lived her life in solitary, and love has made her realized that she don't have to be alone all her life.

Nonetheless, I still recommend this movie. It is a fantasy and romance, all rolled into one.
It is one great story if you are a fan of fictional movies.


"It is not the same when there's no growing old together. Without that, love is just a heartbreak."
-Adaline Bowman
