Taken and uploaded these photos using a phone. Then went ahead to use my laptop to type but I had to add more photos so I used the phone again. The result? The previous words I typed were deleted. Used the phone as it is easier to use than my camera and upload the photos from the memory card plus the camera photos would suck at this current condition and lighting. Hopefully it will not get deleted again this time around. And I was able to take photos before I threw out everything. I had to clean up a little as these empty tubes/bottles has been lying in the bathroom for quite some time now and I don't own the flat. I have housemates you know! I love posting empties as this mean that I finished off what ever purchased I have done up to the last drop. Meaning my money did not go to waste.
I was so gaga over Japanese products that when I saw this at Daiso in Lamcy Plaza I bought immediately. It's called Nano Moisture Extracts. The selling point is it has collagen placenta and elastin that they say good for the scalp. But not too sure now if I got it for only 7.00AED or 14.00AED. I can't find any reviews about it. It is not a shampoo nor a conditioner but it is a scalp care. It is black in color and doesn't foam or bubbles. Just a black liquid. Must use the product after shampoo and conditioner. The verdict? I did not feel any change in my hair or scalp at all. I finished it as I hate throwing away products that I purchased.
Next is Daiso Charcoal Cleansing Foam. This is available in all Daiso shops across the UAE for only 7.00AED per tube. This is a facial cleanser which charcoal is the main ingredient. And they say that charcoal is good for the skin. In removing dirt and impurities. Out of all the Daiso products I purchased this is something that I will keep on patronizing. It is very gentle in the skin. Cleanses well without drying my skin. I would definitely recommend this to all who wants to try a Daiso skin care product. I'm thinking of writing a separate post for it but I don't have much t0 say anymore but again on the separate post I could upload photos for other to be familiar on how it looks like (the tube) when they want to search for it.
Next is Daiso Almond Peeling Gel. This is an Asian counterpart of facial/skin scrub but it is not harsh like the others being sold in the market. It is in fact very gentle on the skin and made up mostly of water with fruit/plant extracts. I got this one at Daiso in Dubai Mall. Not available in other branches I have seen. For those who loves scrub but want a gentle one then I will definitely recommend this. I am using it whenever I will use Daiso Charcoal Nose Strips. Honestly I don't feel that my skin is totally clean after using it (how to feel it anyway?) but I swear by it because I can see that almost all the white heads on my nose are sticking in the nose strips compared to when I did not use it.
And here comes another Japanese product called Wakilala Armpit Scrub! This is not available in UAE market. I got it through an online seller for 60.00AED. The most expensive item that I have in this post. They are marketing it as an underarm whitener. But if you want to whiten your armpits I would suggest that you go directly to a dermatologist rather than spending money on products like this. All my life I have used too many whitening products (and that is another story) and none of them works. I am still morena from head to foot.
I haven't seem much any blogs/forums about this product. But even if it doesn't whiten the skin does not mean it is a bad product. It is just too expensive. More expensive from the facial scrub that I am using. It is a good body scrub as you can use it other parts of your body. If you can afford it go ahead and try it and love the citrus scent. And sometimes cooling sensation. But I don't think I'll be purchasing again. As my goal is to save money so I can leave soon enough.
Ahh it is not easy being a woman, isn't it? As we have way too many products!!! But this year I'm trying my best to lessen them for various reasons. Up next is wax strips called Nectar of Nature. Well for me almost all the wax strips being sold in Carrefour are the same. The only difference would be the price tag. And so the only reason why I have chose Nectar of Nature is this is the most affordable in Carrefour. A box would cost between 8.75AED to 10.75AED. And there was a time that it was on sale at Mirdif City Centre for only 1AED or 2AED per box and I made sure to hoard! Just too bad I'm about to finish them all soon.
The ones I got are underarm/bikini wax strips and facial wax strips. But I am actually using them on my legs and if you are wondering why? Hehe. I am a short Filipina. My height is just around 5 feet. So they are just enough on my legs. Than the big ones! Why women has to wax their legs anyway when it is acceptable for men to have hair legs? There are times that I get so busy that I forget to wax.
And the last product for this post ~ Daiso Pore Strips (Rey Valera is singing on the background while I'm typing these words.. How I wish I can see that guy again on a concert #WishfulThinking).. Again I'd say that all the nose strips I used in the past are all the same. Meaning they all works. The only reason why I switched to Daiso Charcoal Nose Strips is the price. A box has 4 nose strips and it would cost only 7.00AED and available at all Daiso stores. And I wish they will not increase their prices this year or anytime soon. Of course the marketing strategy is telling us women/people that charcoal is good for the skin blah blah blah..
I wish I can give up using nose strips but no matter what I do I always have white heads so giving it up is out of the question. This is Made in Korea and doesn't we all trust products that are Made in Korea when it comes to beauty products? On my next trip to Daiso I have to make sure to stock up.
Once again thank you so much for visiting my page. If you have any questions just please leave a comment below.. And since this is my online diary let me be a drama queen now.. For those who doesn't want to read sad stories skip this now..
I had been working for 9 years now in the same company. And since last year I was having mixed emotions. But none of them were happiness. I feel that in the span of those years I have given my best in the company in so many ways that I know. I understand that we really should give our best in our job. But what I meant was I cared too much that I have given too much. Don't mean to confuse anyone. But here are the examples of what I have done in the past. During those years that the workshop was new and not much staff available. But the workload is too much.
There were times that I spent only 5 to 10 minutes on my lunch break as I can't wait to go back on my seat and try to finish the work. There were times that the service bus left without me as there are things I had to finish. There were times during Ramadan that working hours was up to 2PM only but I stayed until 6PM and there is no such thing as over time pay as I want to finish a lot of things. In fact for so many years I did not use up my leave days. I was all work and no play. Now that I am old, I am foolishly expecting the company/management to be a little lax on me. I don't have any intention of abusing anyone. But with this age comes so many things. The midlife crisis. The loneliness. The body pains. The depression. But then the sad part is I have to work too much more than ever in spite of whatever I am experiencing with my body or personal life. For them it is just about business. And if anyone can't take it anymore, just hand them over the resignation. Nowadays just one mistake and the manager's eyes are on me. But doesn't really see what the others are doing.
I AM HUMAN. I have a HEART. I am EMOTIONAL. More than ever I feel like that I don't really belong. I had to leave my own country as the world knows the chaos that is happening back home. Traffic. Poverty. And so many things. I landed here. But every where I turn or look there's only one message. I am not from here therefore I don't belong. I can't go back home but I can't stay here either. That is the most saddest of all. So I am wishing that in the remaining years of my life I can still go somewhere to work. I'm sorry that I have to just write it down in a blog. But this is my therapy. As tomorrow I need to wake up. Go to office. Smile as if nothing is wrong with me and work until my arms ache again.
