For you, my furry friends :')

My family is really fond of cats and dogs. As they say, "nasa pamilya ang pagkahilig:" I grew up having pets around me. And i just cant understand why some people don't have a heart and hurt these creatures? Aren't we created as rational beings to take care of them?

I can see drivers intentionally hitting up on stray cats. Even kittens. Cats that obviously have wounds because a human being poured hot water on them, or you can even see scars, idk what these people use to hit them. I just can't imagine. Good heavens. That cat/kitten has a life. They can't talk, but I'm sure they feel hurt too. Wala na ngang maayos na tirahan, sasaktan pa. Stray dogs who are stoned, hit, who are being captured and sold to dog-eaters. Or stray animals captured by the barangay and are subject to tambucho killing. :(

It just breaks my heart knowing that this is really happening. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Actually I had 3, the other  died due to old age, his name is Gelo; and for 2 straight days I can' stop crying. Same thing goes whenever I see dead cats on the street or poisoned cats or worse, cats that are shoot to death.

Seriously, what's going on in their minds? Did these cats and dogs do you harm? They don't deserve it! They don't deserve your cruelty. They need your love and compassion. Imagine, if the heavens will go crazy, and these animals will have their power over us, do you think you'd love to be stoned, hit, ran over by a car/tricycle/van? And what will you feel if you're shot/poisoned/cut your tail or if you're to inhale carbon monoxide and die?

"Always put yourself into another's shoe"  doesn't apply to human alone. Let's be cautious and conscious of our actions. I'd tell you this, if I was only born rich, or if my family belongs to the oligarch, I'd really adopt all cats and dogs at PAWS and give them nice shelter and decent food.

Currently PAWS need our support. They have limited resources and not so many volunteers. They need our help. If only I have all the means to help them, even to rescue stray cats and dogs, I would. The least I can do is to save up for them every month and buy cat and dog foods for them.

For the students, how about P10/day? Then let's all meet up by December and spend our Christmas holiday with PAWS. That's the best gift you can ever give! :)

I am only one but if we'll do this together, I know we can succeed. Please do take time to visit their website at

Thank you so much and God Bless your good hearts. :)

Etude House: Aloha Henna Fix Proof Mascara

I've been an eye make-up fanatic for such a long time. I adore beautiful peepers. The problem is, i really dont know how to make my peepers look that great. So i just stick with mascara. No eyeliner no eyeshadow at all. Can someone with  a good heart teach me how?:)

Any, Etude House went on sale last week! Kudos to you if you harassed this store just like what I did :))
Its a Korean brand of cosmetics. Very nice packaging combined with  reasonable prices. Upon entering, i slightly went crazy cause I cant choose what to buy. Good thing the saleslady was very friendly. She told me to try their new line: Aloha. Then she offered me this  Henna Fix Proof Mascara.

This has 2 variants, one makes your eyelashes longer and the other will make it fuller. What i bought here is
Aloha Henna Fix Proof 10 Mascara: Super Fix. And when it says SUPER, it lives up to its name.

Perks:
- It's very eye catching
- It doesn't smell like rugby. lol.
- It stays all day.
- Waterproof!
- Dramatic eyes yet it feels so light! :D
- I can't even throw the box cause its so summer! Definitely a 10!

Believe me when I say it's waterproof :) I tried removing it with water, I end up having red skin around my eyes lol :)) So what can you do to take this off before sleeping? You should buy Lip and Eye Remover, also from Etude. Here's what it looks like :

This is oil based i think cause the blue won't mix with the white one. Gently press the cotton into your eyes and presto! mascara is gone :D  It smells good too, you can never go wrong in buying this one :)

For any questions, don't be shy to ask me :) Stay pretty, ladies ;)

Tetra

I met these girls back when I was in 3rd year college. I was part of the 'pilot' class so they say. I was really hesitant then to make new friends because they've known each other since our freshmen days (except for Em) . But i think it was destined! Cause i just found myself  joining them during lunch and break time. And Em and Af even became my groupmates!

Every nursing student knows this, you're solid with your group, cause you're with them every single time, you do the hard things together, you get through the excruciating Grand Cases and Case Presentations, you celebrate every successful hardwork, you stay up late,  and how closer can you get if you're also in the same class right? ;)

I cant even remember how we came up with 'Tetra'. It just came out randomly. Cause we call each other silly endearment terms, we have our own version of Powerpuff Girls! Me as BERTO (Butterup) Em as BLOSSOM, El as BEBOLS (Bubbles) and Af as Professor X. HAHAHA. :)) If ever the powerpuff girls will have their 4th member, that will surely be Af's character, for now, she'll be professor :p

We also have our own version of TELETUBBIES. And forgive me for saying this tetra, i know you're gonna read this, *don't kill me please!  The characters will depend on our age; with Tinky Winky as the oldest (Af) and Po as the youngest (Me).

We may come off as happy-go-lucky and 'we-don't-care-whatever-it-is-that-you're-thinking' but I'm proud to say that we were all able to conquer the board exam and we are Registered Nurses. (Cheers! Its our R.N.niversarry on Aug! :D )

Thank you so much Tetra, it has been a wonderful friendship and we're gonna make more happy memories :) Me loves you three :)

Lunch Date at ATC. A day before my birthday 06-11-2011 :)

An undiscovered star's being unnoticed doesn't make it less of a star. It goes on to shine. Feeling invisible? Just keep on shining, star. ★
