No Comparison

Skin Color

All of us has our own different skin color. There are a lot of factors why people has that skin color. Of course the main was our diffferent race, place where we live and the cosmetics that some uses to change their skin color.

Having dark skin color as I grew up from elementary until college, I'm already used of people calling me "negra" and sometimes laugh at me because of my skin color. It did mold my personality somehow if I will think of those time they laugh at me. Nothing I can do with my skin because its in our genes. My ancestors are Negrito from Ifugao and Ita from Zambales. What you think our skin color will be? Of course dark color. I really don't like some don't have respect other people. They never think of what will be the effect to others. That's why most of the girls I know who has dark skin they will use bleach and other soap or cosmetics just to make their skin light. Why? To look beautiful? so other will not stare and laugh? Honestly I tried this once to try if those products really works and to lessen the pain when you are laugh at. But it's too much to maintain. I can't go to the beach and I can't play under the sun. I don't want life like that. Too much restriction so your color will be light.

I decided to be what I should be. Live simple and no restrictions. Beauty is in within anyway. Skin color can't affect of who you are. Stay as I'am somebody finally saw the beauty I have. Of course my husband. He loves me so much. He likes my color and he says its nice because their color is not ok with sun. Possibility of having skin cancer and he told me I'm blessed to have dark skin I don't need sunblock to protect my skin.

Human sometimes not contented of what they have. In our country people pay to lighten their skin and people here in states pay to darken their skin. The reason actually the same " to look beautiful. God make us all beautiful so actually we dont' need to do those changing in colors to attract somebody. We must be contented of what's ours. Well I know I can't convince everybody to stay on their original skin colors. I'm just happy now I'm in a place where people can sue others who laugh at each others skin. I'm so thankful God gave me this color and so happy with my life now.

Pillows

Everybody knows what are pillows. A simple soft shaped and colored thing that serve us every night when we sleep. Always gives comfort to everyone. We need them. Pillows has a lot of uses. It really depends on their master how they use them.

I enjoy hugging pillows and it's actually comforting me when I'm lonely and when I'm crying. My pillows always ready to be with me. ( hahaha) I know I'm crazy but pillows are the best thing I must have so I'll feel comforted. Some people uses them only for decorations. My son loves to hug them and also play with them. Yup I know babies are not allowed to play with pillows because they might suffocate but of course when he plays pillows I'm there to watch him.

My Work

I'm not into shopping because everytime I shop I feel like somebody robbed me after paying the things I bought. Everything are expensive now. So I don't buy things that I don't need it so badly. At least before I went here I did shop at Divisoria where clothes are so cheap. But when I got pregnant I need to buy materny clothes which is needed for preggy time. My friend advice me to find a trift store near our place and I'm so glad I found one.

Savers Value Village was the store I love to go while I'm pregnant. I'm enjoying looking at prices that are not so high but if I'll think of pesos it's still expensive but if in dollar it's already cheap. I bought some of my preggy clothes there and happy to save money.

This time I'm finally a part of the team. Fixing clothes for the customers and sometimes when needed I'm a cashier. I love to see a smile to all people who shop there. It's a smart act to buy in a trift store like ours because it's not only helping your budget but also helping other people.

So to all our customers enjoy shopping to our store and have our discounts every wednesday to monday. Also holidays we offer 50% to 70% discount like today! Yup we are so busy and to all our buyers, thanks so much.

Happy "ber" month!!!

Today is the beginning of "ber" month. Everytime september comes my mind think of I'm getting old eventhough my birthday is December. It is because once the "ber" months started next time we know it's already end of the year.

September month is a nice month to start buying your Christmas gifts so by the time of giving gifts you are ready and don't forget someone because you are in a hurry to buy gifts. And somehow the budget will be nicely allocated.

To everybody enjoy your ber months before the year will end. God bless everybody.

Lucky Bamboo

Do you believe in luck? There are a lot of people depends on luck in life. Is it really true or just to make them feel good that they will have luck in their lives.

As far as I know some cultures believes luck exists. Like Chinesse they have a lot of different lucks in life. Actually I bought the love beeds before and I don't know if that thing works. I guess not or maybe it depends on the person.

This picture was taken in California. A japanese friend of my husband who happen to stay in a place own by a Chinese. This plant caught my attention and wanna share this to all my visitors.

This plant is a Dracaena sanderiana, known as Ribbon Dracaena, lucky bamboo or sometimes Ribbon Plant, is a species of Dracaena, native to Cameroon in tropical west Africa. It is one of a group of small, shrubby species with slender stems and flexible strap-shaped leaves that grow as understory plants in rainforests. It is an upright shrub growing to 1.5 m tall, with leaves 15-25 cm long and 1.5-4 cm broad at the base.

Twisted shapes can be produced by rotating the plant with respect to gravity and directed light sources. This is difficult to achieve for most home users, but not impossible with a lot of spare time and a lot of patience.

With this design I bet it really needs more patience to have this lucky plants. Well for me, I really don't believe luck exists. I believe everything we have are blessings from God. But of course I do respect people who really believe they are lucky or we say luck exists.
