The pimpled me

I definitely do not have the perfect skin.

Actually when I was young… my face can be described like this in tagalog: pimple na tinubuan ng mukha… J

I do not get appalled like most women do when they wake up and see a zit on their face. For me, it is just  another addition to my zit collection…. J

So if I hear other girls screech at the sight of a single zit in their face when they look at themselves in the mirror… I would also screech and say, “Wow, I have grown myself a face…" J

Though I can be considered lucky since my zits are not those huge pus filled pimples… they normally just look like dark bumps on my face.

So naturally because of my skin condition, at the age of 10-11 years old, I already started my regular visits to the dermatologist.

I dread those visits because instead of being beautiful after the acne treatment, I feel more ugly because of all the pricking and cleaning the doctor does to my face.

I got used to the pain of the pricking and the burning sensation of all the creams they put on my face.

I also got used to the everyday routine of putting medication, acne lotion etc. when I wake up and before I go to sleep.

My sister would always tease me that I look like a monster whenever I sleep because of the pinkish lotion that I apply on my face every night.

Oh well, I thought that my battle with acne will be forever.

I have accepted the fact that no matter what I do, I will forever be a zit with a face and I just have to deal with it.

Fortunately, through Gerard, I met Dra. Patricia Tinio. She is a dermatologist at Beverly Hills 6750.

Lo, and behold she became the answer to my problems.

After several treatments of diamond peel, glycolic peel, facials etc… my skin became fairer and smoother…

My skin is still far from being the silky smooth celebrity type of skin… and even if I still have rashes or pimples once in a while…  

I am already happy and content with my skin.

I must admit, it has been almost  a year since my last visit to Beverly Hills 6750 but I am proud to say that I have developed my personal beauty regimen.

Want to know my beauty regimen?

Just wait for my next blog…

Till then…

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each side or unt

Wee Nam Kee -- a taste of Singaporean Cuisine

Image
My brother in-law would like his dad to have a taste of authentic Singaporean food… and of course the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about Singaporean Food is no other than “Hainanese Chicken Rice”… Though Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from Hainan, China, it has now also found its home in Singapore as their national dish due to immigration. It is also known as Singaporean Chicken Rice it is served either steamed or roasted. Fortunately, we now have Wee Nam Kee restaurant here in the Philippines. They actually opened late last year and I have read several blogs about it. Wee Nam Kee has made its name originally in Singapore as a top contender for serving the best Hainanese chicken rice alongside Boon Tong Kee and Tian Tian. As I have read in one of the blogs, all their ingredients are sourced locally.  Their secret is that the chickens are freshly delivered everyday from 3 small farm suppliers that alternate delivery. They are chilled -- not frozen. Now

Not so typical valentines speech

Image
This is one of the toastmaster speech I delivered a few days before Valentine's day last year. ========== Good afternoon.   February 14 is a red-letter day for many people. This is the day most people look forward to, especially for the lovers.   But for me, this is just an ordinary day, nothing special,   for I   do not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day. In fact,   I feel awkward to stand in front of you   to deliver a valentine’s speech.   Yes, you guess it right – I am the   scrooge of Valentines.   But before you raise your eyebrows and give me a piercing look, allow me to state my reasons … First, for me, the origins of Valentines day is not clear. The holiday appears to be   named after two      early Christian martyrs named Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome [9] was a priest in Rome while Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna   and both were martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calenda
