Blog Feed: Basta Igat, Sikat! by MyMaria

For 5 awfully long years, I've been trying to grow back my overplucked eyebrows. I don't know who started all this Kilay 2000 craze, but that got to me. By the time I graduated college, I had a thin line for eyebrows. It was so 1990s, I know. Remembe

This post may seem like a rant but no, it's really not. I'm just really disappointed and a bit sad that our NBI clearance process here in the Philippines is not so efficient. I remember getting an NBI clearance some time in 2004 and my name got a HIT!

If faith can move mountains, what can true love possibly do? With fairy tales, we grew up believing that the kiss of true love breaks spells and even wakes those who have been put to eternal sleep. As a grown woman, I've felt love and have seen how love truly affects us who love deeply. Love makes us do crazy things and it lets us do sacrifices for the people we love. Before I married my husband and even before we started dating when we were still just friends, I asked him, "Why did you come ho [..]

Trust me when I say I've tried so many hair dyes in this lifetime that if my hair could speak it'd be yelling at me to stop torturing it or perhaps it has already sued me for that matter. But since my hair is one tough cookie, ahem, like me, so for 20 years it has endured all the hydrogen peroxide and ammonia it could that it no longer really cares what gunk I put in it. Now, you know what I did the last time. I got plenty of feedbacks stating the raven hair Twilight look doesn't really suit me [..]

Skilled and Ruthless Filipina Scammers

It's as if a dam breaks down and all of a sudden I can't help thinking about the 11K, which was a substantial amount then and even now, that I lost to a scammer!

Caught between the moon and Ormoc City.

The best part about living in Ormoc City is not just simply being able to enjoy the sea breeze as expected from a coastal city city and all nor is it the cheap booze and the very affordable orgasmic foods available, it's actually going out at night and basking at the moonlight. Big cities have tall towers and humongous buildings that block the moon and all its glory. Small towns like the one I live in don't. That's why when you look up the sky on a clear night, the moon always smiles down at y [..]

As the title suggests, clearly it wasn't flowers or chocolates (or the lack of) that surprised me during this year's Valentine's Day. When I was younger, so much more naive, and anorexic, my idea of Valentine's Day was stereotypical. Dinner date, cheesy cards, and shallow gifts that everyone else gets anyway. Still, the balloons that I got or the cakes that my sweet tooth enjoyed back then was considered a life experience. The older I got, the more I thought about Valentines Day being a capital [..]

If there's one thing I've noticed with me being preggers and all is that I've become extra, extra LAZY! I'm still vain though so I'm not the non-toothbrushing, non-bathing kind of lazy if you should know. I just can't take pictures of myself lately b

And so much to be thankful for... But first off, I apologize for not writing or updating my blog. I didn't realize married life could take up so much time -- it's basically like another life. Not complainin' here coz I love, love, love being married.

If there's anything more exciting than getting a new last name, it's the fact that Wedding Photography exists. How much more if there was a video, right? But in our case, we gave more importance to photography as it means a lot to us and getting phot

This year's Valentines Day is no different than any usual day spent with my Noodle Boy. Yes, I am crazy about him as he is head over heels in love with me. HAHAHA! But that's just my side of the story. Ask him what he has to say. I bet it just mirror

I think I wanna marry you.

In a small town like ours, Noodle Boy and I were classmates since we were in pre-school. I met him when I was 3 and he was 4. We had been classmates for 13 years in total until we went our separate ways for college. I'm sure most of you kno

The first half of the first month of the year has given me enough time to start a few projects. These, however, aren't meant for me to get richer or what. It's for educational purposes. In other words, I'm learning new things (investing money and tim
