Make Up addicted!

I just realized how much chemicals, money and international-stuffs were applied on my face. First, it is a make-up remover (if I am using make-up or sun protection) from USA. Then, the facial cleanser from Japan. At times, I use economical choices from Philippines.

I tried Beauty products from Korea. After that, I use toner, yeast water from Japan, followed by whitening essence, moisturizer and eye cream from USA.A heck of beatifications isn't it.

Actually, you can buy all in one make up kits nowadays.It's cheaper to think that you can save as much as 10% or maybe 20%. Basic Make ups are:

Face powder, Blush, lips stick or chap stick, eye shades, lip gloss, mascara, or if needed then eyeliner.

I guess the amount of money used for these really expensive stuffs can feed a whole family with basics rice, sugar, flour, salt, oil and some vegetables for a whole month. It doesn’t seem right, isn’t it? I can pretty do things without these but all those magazines and media blasting about how frightful I will look if I don’t use their products motivated me to use them.

Then again, after some thorough ritual, the skin does look better. And if I just neglect the whole ritual, the skin looks like the skin of kaffir lime. So, for the sake of my emotional or rather PHYSICAL well-being, I suppose it's worth it to spend hundreds of money per month for that.

But the truth is that the most important thing is the Beauty with in.

Now I am going to like this little frills for my blog. There is this little thingie that can scan all the comments in your blog and then calculate your karma based on the good stuffs versus the bad stuffs.

Karma is a very interesting word, isn’t it? It means many things to different people. Basically, it says, you are gonna be bitten if you have been naughty and if you have been good, you will get a pat on the back.

Teenagers gone WILD??

It is sad to read the papers these few days. Many parents are reporting about their runaway teenagers. As a parent, I cannot imagine how the parents feel to nurture a baby from small and have them run away from home by the time they reach their teens.

I believe many things have gone wrong because of the demand of the modern living. Studies, peer pressures and the lack of time the parents spend with their children. They may have tried their best to give the children a comfortable life. But maybe in the process, money and creature comforts are not what their children want.

Some of the teens turned to drugs, crime and drinking. When the parents find out, the only way is to reconcile, admit their weaknesses, failures and work hard to bring their children back to their normal teen’s life. Unfortunately, not every parents can accept the situation and sometimes drove their kids even further away.

In the US, they have a center to help the recovery of teen drug abuse. I guess if the parents can afford it, they will enroll their child for proper help and most important of all, provide the children their unending support and love beyond the boundaries. Then, there may be a flicker of hope for a healthy, happy family again.

Otherwise, the parents have only themselves to blame when their children who are under the responsibilites turn to drugs, alchohol, crime, runaway and other social problems.
