HAPPY 18th Mara! :) 

... malapit na akong mahuli... niya. :)) :|

At least hindi na ako naffrustrate. AT LEAST. Hindi na ako madaling magpadala sa feelings ko. But the question is,
do I still like him? Malabo ako ehhhhh. AS IN. Parang gusto ko pa rin na hindi. I always want to be sure of everything. Pag sinasabi ko kasing I like him, then I really feel it. As in gusto ko talaga siya. Pag hindi, hindi. Dapat ata pag sa ganung moments, the right thing to say is "okay". Ahh basta, masaya na ako na di nagpapanic. :D 

NO. 1 TARGET: NEVER LET HIM KNOW ABOUT IT MOST ESP. THROUGH LAU AND MARK.

Naman. ANO BAAAAA. Yun lang ang ayaw na ayaw kong mangyari, yung mahalata. YUN LANG TALAGA. :| 

Again, siya na naman ang laman ng panaginip ko. MAGKAAWAY KAMI? :O Whuuuuut? 
Basta we were in Mara's place and nag-away kami. SO WEIRD. :O

Anyway, I'm about to go to school in a while. Paprint for GK thing. Wala pa akong naaaral ng matino today. YES. Very much distracted. Rawr.

I've been having a lot of pimples these few days which never happened in my entire life! Usually, I would have 2 at most! Damn. I hate it. I really have a lot. So anyway, I'm trying to figure out which product is causing me too much pimples. Haha! Sorry, this is a nerdy entry much. :P 

Eskinol Naturals
Facial Cleanser
Ingredients: Water, Denatured Alcohol, Boric Acid, Extract Cucumber, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Perfume, Menthol, Triclosan, dl-a-tocopheryl Acetate, Benzalkonium Chloride, Color C.I. 19140, Color C.I. 42090

1. Denatured Alcohol - Denatured alcohol. Alcohol, a very drying and irritating solvent and dehydrator that strips your skin's moisture and natural immune barrier, making you more vulnerable to bacteria, moulds and viruses. -- OH NO!!! Probably one of the causes. :(( STRIKE ONE! But it can actually be a good or ba
*Trivia: This is used in Listerine, so as not to be taxed as alcoholic beverage. KAYA PALA. :)) But swallowing it is dangerous because Denatured Alcohols are toxic (therefore, undrinkable) and dyed. Usually it's used as fuel for spirit burners and camping stoves.

2. Boric Acid - As an anti-bacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. -- ONE POINT! 
*Trivia: Boric acid has the distinction of being the only known acid that is actually beneficial (rather than harmful) to the eyes, and as such is used by ophthalmologists and in some commercial eye drops. -- Tignan ko nga mamaya pag bumili na ako ng contacts. :)) 

3. Menthol - (or 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol) The menthol that is used in cosmetics is a member of the alcohol family and is either synthetically made or derived from peppermint oil. When it is applied to the skin, its chemical structure allows it to quickly penetrate the skin layers and stimulate the cold-sensing nerve endings in the skin, creating a cooling sensation. In fact, you may have noticed that menthol is usually one of the active ingredients in topical anesthetics and anti-itch creams since it reduces the burning and irritating sensations in the skin. -- I think it's okay. But what I know is too much intake of Menthol gives you bad breath. Half good, half bad. Depends on the other compounds that the Menthol is helping to penetrate the skin (menthol is able to quickly penetrate the skin layers sometimes carrying other chemical compounds with it). So, TWO POINTS.

4. Triclosan - Triclosan is an anti-bacterial ingredient that can be found not only in anti-acne cleansers and hand soaps, but also a wider variety of home care products. BUT! The most common reason why so many people are up in arms against triclosan is the issue of bacterial resistance. Some groups claim that the persistent use of anti-bacterial ingredients like triclosan can actually increase the proliferation of bacteria. -- I even read articles that some side effects of this ingredient may cause cancer (it contains highly carcinogenic compounds) that can also eaken the immune system, decrease fertility, alter sex hormones, and cause birth defects. STRIKE TWO. 

5. DL-A-Tocopheryl Acetate - (Vitamin E) 

6. Benzalkonium Chloride - 

7. PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil -
