Etude House: Bubble Hair Coloring Review

Anticipating!
I just dyed my hair! I am anxiously waiting for a beautiful result...hopefully I will get it right!

Worried! 
Excited!

Will post the results later. 10 mins more. I am letting the color to stay at least 50 mins. I read from other bloggers who used the product that they had it more than an hour. Since my hair are no longer color virgin...I decided for 50 minutes.

I am using Etude House's Bubble Hair Coloring in Dark Brown. 

Got this pic online. 
 

This is the exact product I'm using for only 378 pesos at Etude House at SM Megamall. Based on what I read online this is effective and got good raves. All complete package; from color mixes, containers, gloves and cellophane cape and hair treatment conditioner after the treatment.

Based on my experience, it was easy to apply and very user friendly. Though the total packaging and all instructions are in Korean you can just search online or from youtube some helpful tips on how to make mixes work to a bubble. 

I have a long hair, I did not even emptied the bottle; you can share it with a friend.

Few minutes left!!! I'm excited and scared! About to wash my hair...=)

Update.

I am not disappointed, I achieve the color I want.

After applying the treament cream, my hair felt silky, I had them air-dried and have to go outside the house to check the impact; I noticed that the roots of my hair were not fully colored; i have have to redo that part (there were enough bubbles left to cover that part of my hair) and let it stay for almost an hour. I used Dove conditioner to wash my hair after.

So far so good, I am definitely recommending this product.

Yellow Dress in Icy Blue

My closest friends Pam and Gary will be tying the knot on May 19, 2012 and I get lucky to be chosen as one of their bridesmaids. Ofcourse, I like it very much! And I've been browsing the web for some designs to pattern my dress...and it's difficult to get the final cut. I don't know yet which one to get. But in my list, I want it to flatter my body and at the same time flowy, I want it sexy but not showy, above all, I want it as "bridesmaid dress" not just an ordinary dress...in short I want it to be me!

I like top bow in this yellow dress. I actully love it! I feel like wearing it...but my gosh! This girl has the tiniest waist ever! Isn't she gorgeous?


I need to look for my final dress...but for now I think I already have my Christmas Party Dress! But I think I really want this for their wedding...final now! I will have this dress for Pam and Gary's Nuptials.

Excited!

Mas masakit ka pa sa hang over

I woke up at 2AM last night.I had a hard time going back to sleep again, I need to turn on the light for me to know that I am already in the comfort of my room and no one is there to hurt me again-verbally and emotionally.

I know people do talk behind my back, never liked me; and will always want to see me fall; I never care. I was not here to prove myself to anyone; I never explained nor defended myself. I let them do their business and my life will go on.

But last night, I was really hurt.When I got home I have to wake up J, for him to give me a hug...I needed that much comfort. I was really affected and aggravated. I was bullied and hated myself for allowing that to happen. 

I need not to explain myself to anyone, especially to you, but I have to do it. You judge me as if you know me. What happened does not even deserve to have a page in my blog, but I have to, I need to vent. There's no other place to do it but here. 

Hopefully, before this post ends, I will be okey.

I am thinking of things how to get even but I know I will be just stooping down to your level.

What I need is an apology and not to see you again until I'm ready. I know these two options are far from happening but deep within me these are what I need to heal. I am badly hurt.

I never thought that you are capable of hurting me this much. We once shared one good friendship; laughed together and talk things out. Sayang.

So this is it...end of my post. I have to buy taho to feel better...and I remember parang masarap yung bangus sisig and lumpia kagabi.

=(

I feel bad, for we are all given equal opportunities and yet you are not maximizing what is given to you.

Sad reality.

And I seemed can't do anything about it, you chose to do it that way.

Coffee Beans and Pyromusical

Last night, as we celebrate another of our "monthsary", J surprised me with a gold ticket at The 3rd Philippine International Pytomusical Competition. To my delight!

The show is between Australia and Canada.

It was heaven for photograhers, hobbyists or pro.

I did not bother to bring my cam, let us leave those spectacular photos to the experts. I just enjoyed the show, with hotdog, coke and J.

Cheap thrills. Life as I know it.

I want to share this story I got from one of Bo's follower, it is posted in his blog, and I am so inspired to be a coffee bean, I have the tendency to sometimes become reactive. I need to learn how to adapt, adjust and appreciate everything that is happening to me, either good or bad, a thing or two must be learned.

How do you respond to Fire (Life's Difficulties)?

One day, a young woman came to her grandfather and cried on his shoulder. She told him of her many problems. She felt so overwhelmed by them. It seemed like everything in her life was going wrong.
After she wept many tears, the old man told her, “Let’s go to the kitchen. I have something to show you.”

In the kitchen, the grandfather prepared three pots of water on the cooking range. On the first pot, he placed carrots. On the second pot, he placed eggs. On the third pot, he placed coffee beans. And he lit the fire beneath each of them.

For twenty minutes, they sat in silence as the fire heated the pots. After twenty minutes, the grandfather said, “If you notice, the fire underneath the pots are the same. Same heat. Same temperature. Yet you’ll notice how different things react to the fire.”

He fished out the carrots and placed it in a bowl. He made his granddaughter touch it.

“It’s soft,” she said.
He got an egg, broke it, and gave it to her.

“Hard boiled,” she said.

Finally, he opened the coffee pot—its fragrance filling the room. He poured a cup for her. She took a sip.

“That’s nice,” she said, “thanks, grandpa. But what does this all mean?”

He said, “Child, you’re going through fire. You’re going through trials. Everybody does. But how are you reacting? Are you like the carrot who thought it was hard and strong, but when the fire came, it became weak and lost all its strength? Or are you like the egg that had a malleable spirit and a tender heart, but when trials came, hardened its heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The fire released its flavor and aroma. Your trials can release your gifts and dreams. Your trials can set you free. So tell me, are you a carrot, an egg, or coffee beans?”
