My Sagada Experience…

February 13, 2009 · Posted in General, Travel · Comment 

Approximately seven hours away from Baguio City, Benguet, passing through the rough roads of the north is Sagada, a haven lying and hiding in the midst of Mountain Province. If you want to scape from the pollution of the modern living, this is the place for you. If you are seeking for peace of mind, this is the place to be. If you want adventure, you won’t regret paying a visit to this wonderful place.

The last time I’ve been to Sagada, the temperature was around 18 degree celsius, I already felt so cold until I was informed that sometimes the locals there even experience an even colder temperature of 10 degree celsius.

Sagada is perfect for those who would like to stay for around at least a week because you have a lot to see there, A week is not enough if you really wish to experience the attractiveness and exquisiteness of Sagada. From the inexpensive lodge inns there to the wonderful locals and the Breathtaking views like the Hanging Coffins, Sumaguing Cave, Lumiang Burial Cave, Sugong Cave, Echo Valley, Lake Danum, the Pottery, the Underground River and a lot more.

What you will find amazing there is that you will be given comprehensive package tours (tours are pre-programmed according to their locations so you can easily travel the whole place town)

How do I get there?

Although you can bring your own vehicle to Sagada, I suggest that you just take a bus for you to enjoy the views and avoid the tiring seven hour rough road drive. From Dangwa Bus Station (Baguio City) you can find buses going to Besao, the bus will drop you straight to Sagada Municipal Hall, from there Hotels and Inns are just nearby.

Beautiful in my eyes by Joshua Kadison

You’re my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You’re everything I’ve tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You’re my Mona Lisa, you’re my rainbow skies,
and my only paryer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn, and the seasons will change,
and all the lesson we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We’ll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won’t say goodbye ’cause true love never dies.
You’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that y
ou will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.

Natural Skin Lighteners

February 2, 2009 · Posted in Beauty, Health, Science · Comment 

I have heard of so many natural skin lighteners which can be easily made at home. Among these are rice, curd, milk powder, egg, oats, muscovado sugar, carrots, tomato, lemon, honey, papaya, potato, cucumber, yogurt and rose water. Of all these, I would recommend only six oats, sugar, lemon juice, cucumber, honey and potato.

Sugar, honey and oats had been known to lighten skin for a long time now. And it is proven. Lemon juice, on the other hand, when made juice and combined with cucumber juice is a good skin lightener but don’t leave it on your skin too long cause it can dry out your skin. Potatoes is said to have a bleaching agent in it. You could use its peel or the potato itself but just be careful because it may dry out your skin really bad if you use it too much. Also, you can prevent your skin from further darkening by staying away from the sun because the sun makes the maximum damage on your skin. Always apply a good sunscreen lotion with SPF20 or even higher to protect your skin from the sun’s darkening rays. Reapply it every hour if possible if you are staying directly in the sun. Use waterproof sunscreen lotion when you’re going to swimming
