Travel | Mt. Samat Dambana ng Kagitingan Bataan

Hello Everyone! :) This is my first post in my travel category. I would like to share my experience when I visited one of the historical places in the Philippines. The Mt. Samat at Pilar, Bataan, Philippines.

Dambaba ng Kagitingan ( Shrine of Valor).

Anyway this post is a throwback. I went in this place it was September or October 2013. That time I was wearing heels going up on that top of mountain. Oh yeah, it's really a challenging, exciting, adventurous moment of my life. Hahaha. I really can't get enough though it's hard for me wearing heels but it's okay because it's really, really worth it. And I'm not the only one who wearing heels that time. :D

And finally, I have been in this place. I finally see the this cross closer to me. It was so PRICELESS.

I really, really love to capture those best moments of my life. Were so lucky coz it's a good sunny day. 

 Oh wait. Let me take a selfie. Hehe. 

Self- eeing. My face so haggard.

 I don't wanna miss a thing. Capturing the best shots. While waiting going up on that cross. I feel nervous that time coz I'm afraid of heights. I'm so tense, goosebumps, mixed emotions. But I don't want to miss not going up though it is limited time only.There a lot of people around me and I'm glad it's not obvious. I'm still take those best shots. :)

So amazing sculpture.

I'm on the top of the cross! Seriously I wan't to have some selfie but I'm scared. Haha. I really can't believe that I'm here one of the best moment of my life. Dreams really do come true. :)

 Why I'm so addicted to LIFE. I'm on the TOP OF THE WORLD. :D

 A breath taking moment. I realized there are a lot of things that I'm grateful for. Truly happy, thankful and blessed.

ALL THE TIME.

 What a wonderful world. This is so unforgettable.

It's my first time going up here in a mountain. 

 All I can say is  PRICELESS.

Last selfie before I leave in this wonderful place. My super haggard face. I had only 2 hours sleep.

I love my shots. I can proudly say that I am a self- taught photographer. :D

The Colonnade.

 The historical scriptures about the Battle of Bataan on the wall of Colonnade.

One of best days ever. I really, really love travelling. This place  remembers the sacrifice of the Filipinos and Americans during that time in World War II. One of the historical dates April 9 Ang Araw ng Kagitingan ( the Fall of Bataan). I can't remember all the details. Just google it.  I love history especially when I was in elementary and high school and not in college haha. I can't imagine that I was visited historical places so far, far away.  

The Mt. Samat is located at Pilar, Bataan, Philippines.

It's more fun in the Philippines.

1. Avoid exposure in sunlight. Use umbrella when you go outside.
2. Use shampoo every other day. ( Not applicable on humid places like in the Philippines)
3. Apply conditioner everyday.
4. Don't brush your hair when it's wet. Best comb is fingers. Comb your hair if its damp.
5. Use hair cap while you swim at the beach or swimming pool it has a chemical chlorine which cause dry and a damage hair.
    For newly rebonded hair please refuse to swim or else you will regret for it really damage your hair. (I experienced it before and it's lesson learned)
6. Use organic hair care products or try this Homemade Hair Treatments.
7. Coloring your hair at least 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Use a deep protein conditioner at least once a week.
9. Don't use much straightening irons, blowers, curling irons and chemical products.

Homemade Hair Treatments

1. Olive oil / Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

2. Aloe Vera

3. Coconut Milk

I would like to share this tips about homemade hair treatments and lets enumerate them one by one.

1. Olive oil / Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This treatment is best for dry and  damage hair. Applying this treatment it should be weekends not weekdays. It's better if your at home while doing this treatment. Coz your hair will be oily and if you go outside in a polluted places your hair will be prone to dirt.

2. Coconut Milk. This treatment is one of my favorite treatment. After I rinse my hair its really, really soft and silky and the smell too it's nice.

This treatment is also for dry, damage hair and for normal hair too.

3. Aloe Vera. I don't like this treatment because of its smell I'm talking about the Aloe Vera plant.
But the this treatment is also great it has a lot of benefits you can do also from your skin. Dry skin or any skin problem Aloe Vera is the best hair treatment. And it's also for dry and damage hair.


ADD TIPS:  Before you use this steps homemade hair treatments. Shampooing your hair first, and then apply any of them or both its your choice. Leave them for 15, 30 minutes or an hour. It's better to cover it with a cap or wrap with a warm towel.

Why use Homemade Hair Treatments instead of hair treatments from drugstores?

Simply because this homemade hair treatments are natural no added chemicals. Simply organic. So if you want to achieve a healthy hair. Use organic products. But it doesn't mean the hair treatments from drugstores are harmful or might damage your hair. It's depends if your hair if its really sensitive or your hair was used too much for hair treatments hair coloring, re bonding, relaxing or whatsoever.

And let your hair breathe form hair products with chemicals. And you don't need to buy more hair care products. And it will save your money. Simply have this ingredients at home.

Friendly Reminder: If you buy a hair product. Please read the label ingredients containing the product if it has a harsh chemicals like paraben.

And I hope this post helps. :)

Trying to cope with stress

Hello Everyone here I am updating again I'm sorry for not updating this blog for the last month. I'm so stress, disappointed, depressed with myself. Because I really don't what I really, really want to do in my life.

Yeah I know what I want to do but I'm so confused. I really have a lot of things to do but I don't how to start. It's really confusing right. Because some people who are with me in this point that after graduating college they are confusing on their plans, others are depressed of being rejected on finding jobs, tired to do some effort.

 If you read this I feel you. And for me I don't to be in the corporate world I don't think that I am fit on it. I'd rather want to have my own online business and being a freelancer. I rather want a flexibility and freedom. But the good thing on being in a corporate world it gives you a benefits, a fixed regular monthly income. And I hate the most is waking up early. For me my ultimate goal in life after finishing college is to be independent.

Living on my own this is the greatest goal that I really wanna achieve in my life right now. And a lot of distractions here at this place. If I have on my own I can concentrate, focus on the things that I wanna do. I hope that I can do it. Just having a faith and believing in myself. That's all for today.

Be confident

        You don't need to be the sexiest like fhm models or victoria secret models to be sexy. You have your own, personal style. You can be sexy on your own, little way. 

All of us created unique and different. You don't need a lot of makeup, clothes, accessories. Be of what you want to be and who you are. 

Me though I love makeup, clothes, accessories. Aiming to be taller, sexier like victoria secret models. I still accept and loving myself of what and who I am. And Istill keep maintaining my self to be simple, no makeup, simple straight hair, simple clothes, blouse, shirt and pants wearing on, no accessories, just simple. There's are word invented that is contentment. :) Hope you inspire.
