what's in for summer 2011?

Day 2: Nails

nail art, since when? 

Brief History:

3000 years Before Christ the Chinese used enamel on their fingers. They applied the substance and left it to sit for several hours, the result; a pink finish on their nails. This was the beginning of nail art and the earliest records. The Indians also practiced nail art in a similar period using a dye derived from the Henna plant. This sometimes implied a social significance. Egyptians were another civilization that used nail art early on. The colour of ladies nails were used to identify what class in society you were in. The higher class wore deep shades of red and lower classes wore pale shades. Another mother of nail art was the Inca civilization who actually painted images of eagles on their fingertips.

The modernization of nail design began early in the 19th century. Orange wood sticks were developed in Europe beginning the process. Modern manicures began with this invention around 1830. The popularity created business opportunities and salons started to pop up across the US by late 19th century.

Among the ladies here in town, nail art is a common thing and beauty salons offering such service had popped up like mushrooms and rates differ according to your preference. But for a young lady like me who thinks she can do it herself through self tutorial from youtube, I could actually save my allowance for ukay-ukay!

The rule is simple: Patience and Creativity! ;) You go, girl!

Here's a tutorial of one of my favorite simple-yet-elegant designs:

Simple, ayt? You just need a toothpick as a dotting tool!

what's in for summer 2011?

Hello there, ladies! I a'int that super fashionista, but looking good in what you wear (from head to toe) makes a good impression to others! 

AND, I am challenging myself for a better summer 2011. ",*

 Here's what I got from www.luckymag.com

Day 1: Hair

            

     

          

Curls make you more feminine and creates a sexy look.

(Caution: Be careful with your curling irons!)

Happy Birthday, Ate Nana!

She used to make milk for me, she combs my hair 

and lets me sleep soundly.

 She was there for my homeworks and projects, and 

teaches me my lessons.

She was always there when I was sick. 

And when I'm feeling so down, she's there to say,

"..'di maguol!"

Happy Birthday, Dear Ate Nana!

I love you so much and I miss you!

Can't wait to hug you again, thank you

for always keeping in touch.

A sister like you makes me proud.

Take care and I wish you more blessings.

Stay the same ;)

this is my Ate Nana and I love her so!

my nick spells L-O-V-E at one year!

The girl, yes, who's nick is Love reached one year at blogger.com! =D 

Oh well, let me share some things why I had just started blogging 

 when everybody's blogging fewwwwww years back already.

Haha! Yes. Late-bloomer. 

But, as the saying goes.. "Better late than never!"

pero daig pa rin ng maagap ang masipag ;)

So, here it is.. the long short story. haha..

Maalala Mo Kaya ito, teh!

Let me just say that, I was so old-fashioned. I write my thoughts on my fluffy blue diary notebook (wonder where I put it. haha) because I can express more! You can even predict how I was feeling when I wrote the words because of my penmanship!

My friend Jade (License to Trespass author) introduced me her blogs. And I thought blogging is more exciting and fun than mere writing on a diary. -Absolutely!

The world may take a peek about myself, my feelings and thoughts. I am a private person, but at least, I can express some of my feelings that I want to share.

I was brokenhearted when I started blogging! 

(wala lang..gusto ko lang i.share sa mga girls..and even the boys!)

My intention is not to go on with a relationship you know it would just end up breaking you into pieces again and again. It was more about learning from your mistakes and being mature towards having a commitment.

And lastly, I just want to introduce myself back again to the world I have turned down.

if u believe you must be big in order to be tough,
think again ;)

Hello! Dyan Lourdes a.k.a. "LOVE" M. Leopoldo.

I am here to express and not to impress.

Justice for Our Mentor

'Twas a fine Monday morning and as the usual, I prepped myself up for school, catching up with my requirements when my friend texted me, "Oh my gosh! Sir Gingging of the Criminology Department was shot this morning! DOA at Dr. Uy Hospital!" And his face flashed back at my mind for who my friend was referring to since I'm a business student and never did I have a chance to be under his class.

Rest In Peace, Sir Judiely G. Gingging

He was shot somewhere in talipapa, Tubod just a few kilometers from ours. I know during that moment the street was busy since it was still around 8 in the morning and I know for sure there were a lot who witnessed the incident. But how could anyone just watch the whole incident and haven't done anything and knowing the fact that the Police Station was just nearby? 

Is this the real face of our city today? Is this how Iligan can be so unsafe? Not to mention the recent kidnappings that had happened. 

Sir Gingging had a son, and he will never grow up with his father again.

JUSTICE. WHERE ARE YOU? We strongly appeal to the local government to take actions.
