Obsessed

Exhilarating. That's the first word that came to mind after I watched this film. It has been a while since a movie has engaged me as much as Obsessed had. I won't tell you what it's all about. That will take the fun out of watching it. Obsessed presents two kinds of love - one, nurturing, protecting, forgiving. The other, selfish, paranoid, obsessive. The movie, for me, is about the strength of a woman. I think Derek here was just a support, even perhaps a pawn. I really thought that he'd do something about Lisa but he didn't. It took Sharon, his wife, to stop the madness. The movie depicts real life. There may be men who want to "protect" their marriage but are unable to do so, for reasons beyond me. And there are women who will do everything to get what they want. The movie kept my heart pounding all throughout. It made me hate Lisa's character more and more as the story unfolds. Ali Larter is perfect for that part. Beyonce, too. The choice of music ...

Barba Eco Tote

I got my Barba eco tote last Sunday! Have you bought yours yet? With all that room and durability, P400 is well worth it! I'll buy the Claparols bag next time when I'm in the mood.

Ilog Maria Spearmint Soap

This is the last soap that I bought from Ilog Maria. Now what's so wrong about this soap? As if the lavender soap wasn't bad enough, this soap gave me even bigger rashes! And it affected me all over! The lavender soap only gave me rashes on my neck, chest and arms. This soap gave me rashes up to my legs and feet! I also couldn't find any major differences in smell among the 3 soaps. I guess this was mintier than the other two for obvious reasons. Other than that, they're almost all the same to me. Don't get me wrong here. My sensitivity might have been caused by all those meds over the years so if you have normal skin, I suggest that you give this a try. After all, these products are well received by many and it wouldn't hurt to support our local farms and entrepreneurs.

Stellar Stella?

I snub all other magazines because for me, Cosmo is the best. I think Stella magazine has been around for some time now but it's only last Monday that I was able to see it - at Waltermart nonetheless! I bought this copy at Bibliarch for P120. What drew me to the magazine is the cover's texture. It's matte laminated. I'm forever a Cosmo chick but I said what the heck, a little peek wouldn't hurt, right? I think the photography was excellent. I don't like Heart but her pictures here spoke to me. Never mind the blank or awkward stares at times. I just liked how the pictures came out. They were simple but artistically done. I'm not a photographer and I don't claim to be an expert on pictures. I am simply stating how I feel about the photography in Stella. Here are some of the sections that caught my eye: How to transform clothes from day to night. Style guide for every shape. Clothes, clothes and more clothes! Believe me, they featured a lot of clothes in th...

Fanny Serrano Eyelash Curler

Has anybody tried this product? I bought this during the weekend but only used it this morning. I don't like it! It's too hard to squeeze and it didn't curl my lashes at all. I spent 20 seconds "curling" the part closest to my lids and nothing. The handles also hurt my finger bones (or maybe I just have really sensitive bones because of my illness?). I kept squeezing and squeezing but nothing happened whereas with my Face Shop curler, I only need a few seconds and the job gets done. I don't even need to apply mascara. This costs around P120, the Face Shop curler ,I think, costs P199. I'd rather shell out P199 more than to try and use this again. But, oh, the other crimper got an award from Cosmo. It's the flat one. I think I'll try that next time.
