I was told to watch this tons of times by different people but I only had the chance to watch this last week when my bf get to download the entire season on his pc. We watched the whole 10 episodes in 2 days, and can I just say that I got soo preoccupied right after, I couldnt wait for the second season to come.

Im talkin about HBO’s tv series “Game of Thrones” .

I knew this came April of this year ( and truth be told, I never really watch TV these days, we had to resort to the endless DVD or pc download catch up) Its way too late to even try to react lols but its even harder to keep my mouth shut on a movie like this . I honestly love how the story goes and I hate that it took me months to even realize how awesome it was.

The part I love so much is the love story of Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. (  he’s a badass warlord.. and sexy too!! :p *heart heart* and she’s a Princess .. yea) I love the evolution of their story from fierce  to tender . She wasnt initially attracted to him ( well I wasnt , he looked like he could eat you alive  ) but as the series progress , the turn of events got really exciting  , Dany fell in love with her warrior husband and they had a baby .. ( that died in the end, crap -_- ). Ohh well,  tv series tend to have a lot  twist around em( too many twist that the last person you thought would NEVER get killed, which is ofcourse the major character,  Ned Stark, still died!  But  I gotta admit its one movie i got totally hooked with. (barbs and I talk about it 24 hours since last week, no kiddinn.. )

We just bought the book a week ago and we found out the second book’s already sold out. *wow* I juuuust cant wait for the second season!!

Get Gorgeous Tea no. 1

Wooow.. *Long time no blog!* Haha.,for some reason, i got so excited to write again..
Oh well, its been crazy at work lately so thought of giving myself a lil-nourishing, ha!. You know when you work on a night shift, you experience all kinds of “unhealthy”..

Lately I realized how bad my diet was. Although I hardly get ill, I dont feel too healthy either. Then for a week, I started getting into a strict diet of veggies, fruits and fish, and that kinda helped me a lot. And since I also want to accomplish healthy complexion, I researched on organic ways to improve my skin. My skin gets a lil finicky sometimes, like I get breakouts occasionally that goes away on its own, but you know how it is when you have pimples it gets really annoying. I have already been advised to go on facial sessions and take pills, if I really wanna clear my skin , but Im not a huge fan of conventional treatment. I always opt for the natural.

Then I got my eye on this tea I found in Healthy Options is SM Megamall, Get Gorgeous Tea no. 1, which has antioxidant rooibos as its main . ingredient, and some flavorful herbs, such as orange peel and hibiscus flowers, that are beneficial to getting clear complexion.

Let me tell you more about it:
The taste - Subtly sweet, and earthy. I take 3 cups of this daily while Im at work and its fruity scent it truly relaxing.
The ingredients – Rooibos (leaf), Orange (peel), Hibiscus (flower), Chamomile (flower), Red Clover (flower) Chaste Berry (fruit), Burdock (root), Natural Pomegranate Flavor.
The result : I dunno?? hahahaha. :P I have yet to discover it if its really making any difference. But according to our friends in US who have been drinking it , it works wonders on their skin. Hmm I think  the first 2 days of drinkin I felt my skin being more hydrated and supple, but I’ll get you posted for any progress lols.
Price: a lil pricey for 36 bags in a can, Php 575.00 at any Healthy Options stores.

The real deal here is you can actually use this as an addition to your daily skin regimen but you cant just rely on the tea to achieve a clear complexion. Having a healthy lifestyle is ofcourse the surest way to achieve that beautiful skin.

Goin back to Relationship basics

Uhmmm.. Im no Relationship counselor, but I know how to run a relationship.. Not just keep it running.. Keep it awesome! ( haha really now? lols ) We all want a perfect kind of relationship but you know for sure that perfect relationships dont exist. We all grew up with the whole fairy tale-like BS, the Prince – Princess sort of love? Anyone? but in real life, stories like that hardly exist. You see a lot of people completely happy and in love with each other , but the real situation is, they do have conflicts some times. There are just a few things though that a couple can do to make it almost perfect and keep the relationship at bay.

Its true that when you are in a relationship, you learn a lot of stuff.. and these are things Ive learned along the way. And guess what.. Im soooo in the mood to write them down, like right now… Ü

Let me start..

Dont ever make your partner feel that you are NEEDY – its a turn off. This usually happens to girls, but this could happen to a lot of guys too. A little jealousy over somethin or someone is cute, but if its causing too much conflict between you guys, or your boyfriend thinks youre an instant total freak when he mentions a name of an opposite sex.. is ofcourse . NOT healthy.. ( On top of that.. NOT sexy.. )

Wouldnt hurt to acknowledge? – is somethin I always do. And it works. Im not sayin you make “bola” with your bf/gf. Im just sayin if you have the opportunity to tell him/her how great he/she is, go say it. Its natural for humans to want to be recognized for somethin they did, they wear or whatever ( I want to recognized? I mean… like who doesnt? ). And the best person who should notice the good stuff is YOU. Like when my bf wore somethin and looks really neat on him I’d tease him, say ” Babe, you look reaally hot on that shirt “. ( Well I kinda exaggerate it .. nahh kidding! haha ) but seriously that simple phrase could go a loooong way. :)

Also my advise to ladies , this is as per my observation. Guys love girls who are strong willed and independent . Nothin beats a girl who draws attention with her charm, but you also have to understand that guys, regardless of how independent of a girl you are still wants to feel stronger over you, and that’s what they are supposed to be in the first place, to be stronger than women. ( That’s part of a man’s composition as well, some ego, be the alpha ). You can maintain that strong personality, but you dont need to outshine the guy , make him feel that he can take care of you, besides, that is all that we gals wanted right? I guess Im lucky enough, I found a guy who wants to take charge of everythin. Although there are things that I’d rather do on my own, but as long as he is there I cant really expect to do it my way , because he would want to make sure first that everythin will be alright ( well, aside from the fact that he knows I am clumsy.. so there, I guess thats pretty much one reason too lol ) But what Im tryin to say is, if the guy truly cares for you, let him do it.

Nagging is dangerous to your health and to the love of your life- well yea?like literally. Nagging makes your stress level up and thats not a good thing. But if you have a bf/gf that really sucks and you cant help but really nag to your soul’s content, well I’d say… Im sorry Hon. Give your self a break and look at the bigger picture instead of pickin on petty details ( e.g, bf/gf failed to text or call you and you went wild like Godzilla ). Whatever the situation is, whatever the reason for getting mad is, look at it as an adult and move on from there. Nagging is a serious thing and Ive seen soo many of my couple friends break apart because of this.

So there.. Ive remembered them one by one so I thought of sharing them all to you. Atleast, if you realized you have one of those mistakes , you could fix them all together and keep a great relationship last. :)
