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 ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
