kojic acid

i've always been very vocal that i long wanted to have a fairer skin.
i have morena skin and unlike mestizas, i'm just limited to neutral colors. with make-up, i still go for earth colors and a big NO on the pink and red shades.
and so, i opted to use whitening products. from whitening facial creams, whitening soaps, whitening scrubs to whitening lotion. even devoted myself to likas papaya for over three years but it didn't have a good effect on me, and so i stopped. i made myself to believe that SKIN IS IN (from jergens ad) but who am i to resist the pro's of having fair skin.
being a pexer, i have joined some discussions on whitening products and kojic acid soap caught my attention. many pexers testified that after using kojic acid (brand unspecified), they were able to have a tight and more fairer skin. and so, i gave it a try.
it has been a week now and sm hypermart only offer a certain brand of kojic acid soap which is kojie san. i gave it a try after being hesitant at first because some of the threads that i've read mentioned that there'll be stinging and exfoliating when using it. there's no harm in trying and i just realized that just after using it a couple of days, my skin became quite a bit fairer. i've freckles in my arms and there was a slight discoloration. the dark spots are almost gone in just a week. now, talking about how effective it is, its a 100% success on my skin. it has an orangy smell, so sweet and fragrant that it relaxes me whenever i bathe. the soap indeed has a drying effect. just make sure to moisturize your skin after bathing. as for me, i have a diy oil that i apply every night.
if you're really determined to have a fairer skin, just go for it. if it makes you happy, then why not? just don't overdo it...

The one that got away...

Isn't  it obvious, A.R. will always be, and forever will be the one that got away.   I don't know but I just thought about him the other day. Maybe because I chanced upon his letters to me, his videos, his pictures.  He was so close to perfect. I will always have nice words for him even if he broke my heart. I just thought to myself, what if we ended up together? But on second thought, It would be impossible for me to end up with him. I am so immature and stubborn. He doesn't deserve me. He might be my soulmate, apparently, he was, he is and he will always be. Soulmates don't end up with each other, as they say. They have this connection  but it doesn't mean that they are meant to be. Maybe, in the next lifetime, we will meet again.  I'm still hopeful that after everything that I have been through in this lifetime, I still deserve to be happy.  Fingers crossed. *ingzee*  

complicated...

have you ever been in a situation wherein you think that he's everything that matters? that he's your life and you can't live without him? but sad truth is, he was never yours to begin with...he can't commit to you because he's already committed.. will you let go or will you fight for your love??? don't you think letting go is the easiest way out? but will you or would you rather not??? what will you choose... choosing what is right but you know that it won't make you happy or choosing what you know is wrong but you certainly know that it'll make you happy? the decision is yours to make...make a stand...and face the consequences!
