A month after Yolanda, my face is a total chaos. Years of using whitening products and sunblock went down the drain. My current job also requires me to go to the field and hunt children (I sound like a cannibal here). No wonder my face is not only deeply tanned but greasy as well after lunch time!
Here's another Proactiv product to the rescue! It's the Proactive Daily Oil Control facial lotion. The formula has a nice clean lemon smell. It is an oil free formula that has a watery consistency. It is also non-comedogenic so you are sure those pores of yours will not be blocked by impurities such as dust which could ultimately lead to pimples. Additionally, it balances the oil levels in your face while keeping your skin well hydrated throughout the day like a moisturizer. At the end you get a shine free face because the solution has a matte effect. I had to take it on a road test. Your acne blemishes are also controlled. Knowing these, I simply must put the product on a road test.
All our clothes were either wet or muddied due to the typhoon. I have plenty of time today to do the laundry. Before I attacked our clothes, I first prepped my freshly washed face with a thin layer of Proactiv Daily Oil Control. Pointer finger and the middle finger for my T-zone and my ring finger to my cheek bones for a lighter pressure during application.
How do you like my post Yolanda background?
After washing my clothes, I noticed that my face still looked fresh and feels clean. I read that this is also a good make up base. However, a made up face post Yolanda in Tacloban is unusual so I opted to just use a lip gloss and yes, no powder for me because my face was still shine free.
Wondering what they put into this power pack?
> Decyclene glycol - a highly effective moisturizer and oil controller
> Silicone blend - provides a moisture barrier to soften, soothe and hydrate skin
> Nylon-12 - absorbs excess oil, and provides anti-shine properties
This is best used after Repairing Treatment. A 50 ml tube is just 899php and it is all worth it! I have tried dozens of products which promises to control sebum or oil on my face but none worked as well as this one.

"The Doctor's Secret to a Lifetime of Clear Skin" by Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields has been my company during the days after Yolanda. I was lucky to fish it out of the flooded water.
It is a 30-page book written by the creators of Proactiv. I love how the book reminds you of things you already know but choose to forget. It contains some tips and tricks to keep acne away from your face.
This is my favorite. "A pimple is not simple." Hey! Just a simple zit can ruin your whole day and once you get scarred it will stay for life!
You can get a copy of this book for every purchase of a 30 or 60 day Proactiv Kit from SM, Watson's or from their door-to-door delivery.
If you want a lifetime of gorgeous skin, you better read this book because even if you are a beauty guru there are somethings you just don't know. Trust me!
I even managed to use some of the advice after the typhoon. Oh those countless miles I've walked under the heat of the sun and the days without water to wash my face.
The storm came at 4:30 am, 30 minutess earlier than expected. We knew that Yolanda has arrived because the wind was not just whistling as usual. It was howling like it never howled before...like a banshee. The glass window panes were shaking.
Dante was fretful as he worriedly looked at the trees swaying outside our window. I immediately grabbed my camera to take pictures for this blog but my camera easily clouded up because the wind was blowing in our direction.
I went to the other room facing the coast to check on my
mother but the wind was shutting the door closed. When I did manage to open it,
I can hear the wind making sipping sipping sounds on our room...slurrp..slurrp...slurrp. It was very scary. My mother was pushing against our broken door with all her might. I told her it was a
futile effort and to just leave the door alone. Nobody can fight against the
expected 300 kmh wind. I told her to come with me to the other room where the
wind was not as strong but she would not listen.
Kuya Alvin who has evacuated with his family on the first floor of our
building came up a few minutes later and told us that Choie, who owned the building is
worried about our safety. He urged us to go down before the wind
worsened. We said that we are doing fine upstairs and there is no need
to go down.
A few minutes later, Batotoy, a local surfer, came up and pleaded for us to go down because the strong wind that was blowing outside is not yet the full brunt. In the midst of our conversation, we saw him being pushed by the wind. Luckily, he managed to grab on to our drum filled with water.
Seeing the wind's strength, I do not want to risk my 5 year old daughters safety. I felt that with the poor visibility, strong winds and flying debris, we were safer up on the third floor. I remembered an article I read online after the Bohol
earthquake about the triangle rule. So I told my daughter to hide in the corner
of our house with her bug out bag.
We can hear the glass windows breaking
like someone was throwing stones on it. The ceiling looked like it was being punched
in so we knew it was going to collapse if the wind gets any stronger. I then
tried to go back to get my mother but even with Dante’s help, we could not open
the door to the other room where my mother was.
Yumi was screaming and praying to God, “Jesus, do not
let me die!I do not want to die yet.” I went to hug her tight while Dante
stood by our back door. He really wanted to go down to the ground floor despite
the wind. Confused and not wanting an argument, I went with him. We were just a
few steps from the door when I lost grip of Yumi’s hand. Dante was pushed by
the wind to the wall. Thankfully, he managed to grab an electric wire. I on the other hand was tumbling and slipping, unable to stand becaus eof the strong wind.
Amazingly, Yumi just calmly walked back to the door. When the wind slowed
down a bit, I was able to scramble to the door. The gypsum ceiling has already
fallen. Thanks God for the perfect timing!
We went back to our hiding place and braced ourselves against the wall. The room was already flooded with one inch water. We sat inside a plastic clothes container and wrapped Yumi with her favourite
blanket; ironically, it was the one with the Noah’s ark theme. I saw a piece of
gypsum ceiling and dragged it towards us. I held it up with my left hand to
cover our heads while my right hand hugged Yumi. I screamed to Dante to sit
beside us because it was safer there.
When the wind was already roaring and deafening I began to pray for our safety. I knew that He has saved me
a lot of time before and He will also let me survive the storm. However, I also
knew that there is a possibility that the wall that protects us at that moment
will collapse and we will all die. And so, we also prayed for God to take our souls to heaven. Yumi and I accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour again. We knew that God was the only one in control of the situation we were in at that moment. We prayed for Him to send his angels to cover and protect us. And indeed, we felt peace and serenity in our little corner as the storm passed us by.
I prayed to God for our safety.
The day before the storm while I was panic buying for things
we might need. I saw a beautiful doll and thinking that I might run out of money before Yumi's birthday on November 26, I had to buy it.I also
thought this is the best way to check Yumi’s ability to resist temptation, like
the marshmallow test.
Anyway, as I was thinking of our imminent death, I slowly
crawled my way to where the doll has flown and gave the doll to Yumi. Even if
we all die, at least her last memory was holding on to a beautiful doll. I told
Yumi to open it up but she said she does not want it to get wet. She just
hugged it while the wind around us blew.
If the wind was supposed to arrive at 5pm then arrive at
Guian at noon, I felt that by 9 or 10 am we will all be safe so I was
frequently asking Dante the time. 7:00am, 7:20am, 7:40am. The third time around
I found it funny that I was asking the time every twenty minutes.8:00am, 8:20am...
As the wind slowed down, we picked up our bug out bags and slowly ambled our way out of our room and passed by the room where Mama was staying, we were not able to find her. We assumed that my mother must have been the woman we heard screaming earlier and she must have already been blown away by the wind. So we ducked our heads and slowly walked down to the second floor.
We saw a big crowd. There were almost 20 people inside the room. Most of them were children. Some of them were neighbors who has managed to escape by breaking their roof and crawling towards one of the open windows on the second floor. One of them even have a 2 month old child with her.
The people who were in
the first floor told us how the water rose up from ankle level up to
the ceiling in a blink of an eye! They used the clothesline to hang on
to then stepped on up some vaults to reach the stairs. They men had to
go back to get their grandmother who managed to step up on the kitchen
sink.
P.S.
Just seen these videos now. I'm still catching up with the world.
No photos. As mentioned earlier, I was robbed a few days after the typhoon.
I am at Cebu right now. I only learned the date and time today when I went to the nearest internet cafe. We have just arrived after a 24 hour open air ride with one of the Philippine Navy's ship.
When I stepped out of the ship, I was in tears. There were lots of volunteers who were there to address our basic needs-food and first aid. Imagine receiving a loaf of Gardenia sliced bread each and overflowing mineral water and coffee. We didn't see it in Leyte. They even have an evacuation center prepared for us. We saw the Lion's Club, some ROTC volunteers, the DSWD and a lot more. They gave us sooo much well-cooked cooked that was not straight from the can.
If you have eaten the crunchy half cooked rice on the Philippine Navy ship and endure the almost 6 hour line to get it. If you have experienced sleeping al fresco on the wet floor of the ship on a very cold and rainy night or sun bathe then you know what I am talking about.
However, I am still thankful for the people who helped us especially Choie Cabrera's family. For without them I will still be in Tacloban living in fear and scavenging for relief goods at daytime.
I wish I have photos to show you but while we were sleeping in our storm torn house, a thief ran through my things and stole my tab, camera and last money which I was supposed to buy a bike because I was already worn out from walking in search of relief goods.
I will chronicle my memory here as best as I can remember starting tomorrow. I will search for pics from my friends in Tacloban. Perhaps you will see someone familiar. Maybe I survived to tell our story.
It is 10:30 pm here at Tacloban and while I'm tapping on my keyboard, the wind is whistling outside, gently warning me of the super typhoon that is expected to arrive tomorrow at 5am.
We are already at signal number 4 and everything seems ordinary. I believe we Waraynons are used to this kind of wind and rain. However, the news and social media feeds are painting a grim scenario. This might be the reason why we fear the storm.
Jam Tan took a pic of the locals panic buying. There is a running joke that the rich are panic buying while the poor can only afford to panic.
I had been panic buying for 3 days already. The first day I went to buy food supplies. Last night Dante and I needed to water, flashlights, candles, duct tape and plastic bags to wrap the paintings with. My last run was to buy paper plates and plastic utensils just in case.
A preemptive evacuation was done yesterday. This is a photo taken at the Astrodome last night: (Credits to Mayor Alfred Romualdez' FB account.)
Early this morning the neighbors were cutting down trees and trimming branches.
The weather was calm and peaceful. (Is it what they call the "calm before a storm"?) Mr. Sun even took a peak from the clouds once in a while.
Guess who are in Tacloban right now?
DILG Secretary Mar Roxas. (Credits to Mayor Alfred Romualdez' FB account.)
My friend Nikko Bacason said that CNN has sent a corespondent named Andrew Stevens to cover the super typhoon here in Tacloban.
Atom Araullo from ABS-CBN is in town too as well as a reporter from GMA. A friend posted a pic that they were covering at the McArthur park. However, I can't seem to find the pic on my newsfeed.
This must mean serious business if all of these people whom you just see on tv flew out just to witness this phenomenon.
Jim Edds (is he a storm chaser/hunter whatever?) tweeted a pic of the waters behind McDonald's in downtown Tacloban. The water has already risen so I guess it is flooded there already right now.
Growing up in V&G, I know how a little rain can cause flooding. Now a signal number 4 super typhoon would probably make that subdivision a giant lake! Here's what my friend Kyle has been doing-elevating everything. If you come from V&G you are an expert in this field already.
Emmanuel Lim took it up a notch. I knew he will. He has been with Red Cross since ....forever. And since V&G's floods can reach up to 4ft in height, life vests are badly needed.
Here's a photo posted by Jonray Matoza. Tie everything up!
Vice-Mayor Jerry Yaokasin is kept busy.
The Mayor is even busier. Looks like the Mayor ain't gonna get some shut eye in the next 24 hours (Credits to Mayor Alfred Romualdez' FB account.) And what rotten luck, there was a fire earlier in the evening.
If you are in Visayas, keep safe. (Could this be caused by H.A.A.R.P?)
BBC says it is the biggest typhoon ever. So help us God.
Educating a 5 year old about arts, culture and history in Tacloban City or Leyte in general is a challenge.
We do not have museums nor do we have art galleries.
I always take advantage of mini-shows such as the one staged by the municipality of Palo. The "Enchanting Palo Art Exhibit and Mini Museum" is open up until tomorrow, the 20th. This date also happens to be the Leyte Gulf Landing celebration.
My friend Jica went to Bohol in a haste hours after the 7.2 earthquake rocked the Visayas.
Her father was missing and their house was badly damaged.
Later on, we found out that a group of loggers carried her ailing father to their upland farm where the family is camping out right now. There is no electricity or water there. They are not yet confident to go back to their house in Maribojoc because it looks like a ghost town. Stores are closed and the neighbors are all gone. What is left is mostly ruble.
I asked her to send me photos and her cousin, Ivie Jenn Orano gladly obliged. These photos are taken by Kankan Ornito.

We arrived at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal or LCCT in Kuala Lumpur at around 6:30 pm. Surprisingly, despite that there is no time difference between the Philippines and Malaysia, the sky is still bright at this time. Here's a pic taken from the plane.
Malaysia is also known as the Garden City. Look at that greenery! Their trees are well lined. And from up above you will notice that their soil has a reddish tint. Later on, after talking to Rowel Naanep, a fellow artist who has been living for more than a decade in Malaysia as an architect and lots of slash, the soil is actually clay.
Although I have always dreamed of visiting Thailand first, traveling to Kuala Lumpur was a welcome surprise. It was my first trip outside the country. My first big art exhibit.
Now who could stop me from something when I am really driven? I spent hours scouring the internet for places to visit, maps, how to get there, routes, the rates and even plotted self-guided tours of Merdeka Square, Chinatown or Jalan Petaling, Brickfields or Little India and the Central Market complete with blow by blow instructions in case we get lost.
Here I am in my 5'3, 105 pounds myopic glory. We had 16 paintings with us which I cleverly designed to fit into each other.
We got our tickets at a discount. I carefully planned it so we do not have to get out of NAIA 3 at all! The long wait may be boring but that saved us a couple of bucks.
We flied with Cebu Pacific. Here is our itinerary:

Our Tacloban to Manila round trip ticket for two with 15 kilos baggage was P 4,905.52.
The Kuala Lumpur to Manila round trip ticket for two with 15 kilos baggage was P 10,901. 34.
Be sure to do a web check in. It just makes things easier.
Domestic Passenger Terminal Fee at the Daniel Z. Romualdez or Tacloban Airport has skyrocketed from P 30 to P 75 already.
Hanged out at the holding area for almost 7 hours while waiting for our flight.
NAIA 3 was once dubbed as the world's worst airport. If these cardboard boxes used as mats to sleep on that littered the holding area is a testament then I rest my case. There are also people who are so selfish about sharing those electricity sockets that they camp out next to it for hours!
Before we checked in, we paid our travel tax first. It is P 1620 per head. Good thing this is just a one time fee. I heard that this is an "only in the Philippines" thing. We sure were glad they didn't charge us a travel tax in Malaysia.
Here are some tips when checking in your baggage:
Weight them first at home. It should have at least 2 kilos allowance because the weighing scale at the airport are not accurate. Before I weighed my baggage, the empty scale was already at .5 kilos.
Bring an extra bag. If your check-in baggage are in excess, you can transfer some stuff to your extra bag and have them hand carried rather than paying the excess baggage fee.
Allowed water is just 100 ml. My drinking water escaped from the scrutiny but my facial toner did not.
No sharps on hand carried baggage. My cutie patootsie scissors with a blunt end got left behind. No lighters are allowed also.
Have a pen ready at your side. You will need to fill out this Embarkation Card before you pass through the immigration. Know the address where you are staying at the country you are visiting. You would need to put in this info on the Embarkation Card.
For tourists coming from ASEAN countries like the Philippines, you do not need a visa to get into Malaysia. Since we were exhibiting, we needed to get a Professional Visitor's Pass (PVP). It is a single entry visa to Malaysia and is worth P 550. It is Issued to a foreigner who hold acceptable professional qualifications or specialist skills and enter Malaysia to take up professional work for short term period not exceeding twelve (12) month.
However, when you have a be ready to show some documents to support your claim and more questions.
This one does not bear my real name and trust me, because of this I got palpitations while being interviewed by the immigration officer.
Thankfully, here's the seal that says I can fly away from home!
These are the pieces that I was "supposed" to bring to the Art Expo Malaysia 2013 and the exhibit at the Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. However, my "Surrender" which you see below was bought when we had an exhibit at Cafe Lucia. There was no haggling for this piece. I like it that way. I do not like prostituting my pieces even if I am just a newbie in the art scene.
Just received a Proactive Refining Mask in my mail.
These are the description found on the packaging.
The 6% sulfur content has antibacterial properties.
Once you open the tube, you will get a waft of the distinctive sulfuric smell. some compares it to a rotten egg. However, the color of the mask is not yellow but grey. This must be the Kaolin clay. Kaolin clay helps absorb excess oil on the skin.
The mask is also rich in vitamin E and F complex. Vitamin E is an antioxidant which helps protect the skin from free radicals found in the environment like UV rays. It also soothes and nourishes the skin. Vitamin F Complex on the other hand helps retain skin moisture. The tea tree oil is a known antiseptic while the geranium and lemongrass extracts acts as conditioners.Together they help give you a brighter, younger looking skin. It also minimizes pores and improves the texture and tone of your skin.
When I was younger my Lolo and Lola would often tell me how they would go to Mt. Mahagnao, a volcano in Burauen to gather sulfur which they used to treat my aunts skin diseases. With more research, I have learned that sulfur is a common acne treatment. It primarily removes dead skin cells that clogs pores. It also removes oil or sebum thus leaving your skin dry. It reduces redness and skin inflammation caused by acne. When you purchase the Proactiv 30 or 60 day kit, you will get this for free.
While I was at Malaysia, I felt a zit slowly forming on my right cheek. Good thing I brought my Proactiv Refining Mask. I washed my face with the Proactiv salicylic Cleanser then left the Proactiv Sulfur Refining Mask on my face overnight. When I woke up in the morning, my zit was gone! Yahoo! So I had picture perfect skin for all my souvenir shots.
The best way to use the mask is to incorporate it with the Proactiv 3-Step System. Here is what you need to do:
1. Cleanse the face with Renewing Cleanser
2. Apply Refining Mask to dampened skin and leave for 10 minutes.
3. Rinse with water.
Follow with Revitalizing Toner and Repairing Treatment.
If you are just starting out with your Proactiv treatment or if you need extra control because you need to go to a special occasion where someone will take your photo, use the Refining Mask nightly for a week before the said event to avoid breakouts.
For maintenance, you can use it at least 2 times per week.
You can also use it as an overnight leave-on spot treatment for a pimple problem like what I did.
An hours drive away from the outskirts of Maasin City will take you through a route banked with thick trees on both sides and an eagles eye view of the municipality. Further ahead is a quarry site but what will delight visitors most is a haven for animals in the wild, the Maasin Zoo.
Located at Malapoc Norte, the Zoo is now a tourist go-to of the region as it slowly makes its mark as one of the country's premier ecotourism destination. WARNING: Photos galore up ahead!

A lot of my friends swear by this product. Try this one out too.
Signed up to do a review on pH Care wipes a few weeks ago but I only found the time to write about it now.
I am thoroughly impressed on how fast and efficient the shipping company was because I got the package within 24 hours. Although I think the people from Unilab who were supposed to deliver it felt a bit lazy that day because they texted me to pick it up in their warehouse since it is just across our house.
I got 5 pH care Feminine wipes in blue green. This one is in Cool Wind and it has Active Cool for extra cool freshness similar to their feminine wash which I love.
Each pack contains 10 mildly scented wipes. The package says that it is pH balanced, alcohol free, hypo-allergenic and clinically tested.
These wipes are handy and a must have in your hand bags especially if you are travelling. It gently cleanses your intimate area from urine and other dirt. Its mild scent will keep you feeling fresh and clean.
Since there are only 10 pieces per pack, the penny pincher in me has found a way to make it go a long way. Using my ever reliable bandage scissor, I always cut a sheet into two. I only use half of it and save the other half for later. Tipid diba?
To know more about their products visit these sites:
A long time ago, I saw my friend Nerissa post a picture of her eating this humongous circular piece of bread. I have never seen it before. My curiosity peaked.
While I was in Maasin last month, I finally saw this delicacy. It is called the Hopia Malitboganon because it is made in Malitbog, Southern Leyte. I wanted to but one but decided to do it after the meeting because the size is too embarrassing to tote around. Sadly, the meeting ended late in the afternoon and we didn't take the same route back. So goodbye Hopia Malitboganon and until next time.
Just this week, Ate Amira and the rest of the team went back to Maasin. I still craved for this so I asked her to buy one for me. ( If you are reading this 'Te, thanks for giving my mandibles and masseter an exercise.)
Yumi got the first bite and the first thing she said was it reminded her of the little flat doughy sugar filled piayas I would often buy her when I go to Cebu. She was right but this one is tougher. My mother compares it to plywood.
So what goes into this thing? Just carameled muscovado sugar.
Next time you are in Maasin or in Malitbog, buy one but make sure you'll share it or else suffer my faith. My jaw is almost numb now and I think I am about to have a toothache.
1 : to renounce allegiance or subjection (as to a government) :rebel
2 a: to experience disgust or shock
b: to turn away with disgust
transitive verb
: to cause to turn away or shrink with disgust or abhorrence
The two definitions of the word revolt aptly describes the crisis in Syria right now.
My heart cries out for the innocent lives lost. These children had to endure skipping meals just to survive but it was not hunger that killed them but a chemical attack.
Why do we use our intelligence to cause mass destruction?
The child should bury his/her parents. Not the other way around.
