I was in high school when I become conscious on my appearance, chorr. You know crushes and everything, we need to look like a human being if we want to be noticed by our CRUSHES. But off course because I let them think that I am a tomboy, I just do it simply without trace and unnoticed? Lol.

So, I am watching on a Television when a T.V ads about Ponds Cream suddenly appear in front of me. I was hooked by their words about rosy cheeks chenes and so the next day I tried buying it. I can't remember if how much it cost me that time but I think it is 5 to 6 pesos that time, it is very affordable.
I was third year high school that time. It became my routine to wear it everyday and then put Johnson Powder after it. I put it every morning and that can last until afternoon. I can't really go to school without putting it that's why sometimes I'll bring it with me on school carefully sealed in a plastic ng yelo lol.
And even if I want it unnoticed, it will still be visible once I got sweat on my face after playing a games. My gosh, nagpapaganda pero patuloy pa ring naglalaro, lol. Well I'm just enjoying my school days. And what I hate on putting on a Ponds Cream on my face is when after playing hard and got sweat all over my body, my face will really become red.
It's really effective to have a rosy cheeks but in my case, all over my face will become red lol. Not just my cheeks but all over as in, lol. That's why I stop using it and then there's Olay, I change Ponds to Olay but the effect is still the same. But Olay is worse than Ponds. Because it is a white texture, when I put it on my Face it will really visible that anyone can notice it.
Actually, I don't need those cream to put on my face because I don't have a problem on it. The real reason I'm using it is because I want my face to brighten just even a little bit. When I put that cream I always make sure to put some of it on my neck, para hindi masabihang mukha lang maputi lol.
And my face is naturally smooth and soft na so I don't really need those. And the color of my face and body also started to brighten na so I don't have a use of it anymore. It's just that I remember all those times when I really want to brighten the color of my face that's why I use those.
And the struggle when my classmates asks me why my face becomes really red after playing non stop, lol. And I had no choice but to tell them about Ponds Cream. And then I discover that some of them also using that thing that I don't to be ashame about anything. And it's understandable because nagdadalaga na kami lol.
Anyway, I stop using that two when I start going attending College. I'm too lazy to put that in my face and I learn to accept my color. Well, it's not that I hate my color. It's just that I want to lighten it up a bit just a little bit. But because I love to walk without umbrella while Mr. Sunny is shining so brightly. It never brighten even for a bit lol. And I really love to play during high school days that's why those cream never effect on me ahahaha.
And this is really our color, Morena tehee. My Mama, brother na sister na ngayon and me. We're not complete here because my Sister was busy that time or I can't really remember. But the time we took this photo is during my first year college. My Mommy bought a laptop for me to use as I am taking BSIT. And off course the first thing we did is took a photo using it webcam lol.
And me using those beauty product is just a history now. I'm not using anything anymore on my face. I don't even use a powder when we go to other places even if it's in Calapan lol. I don't have a routine to take care my skin and my face. I'm okay now with my color and the kind of skin I have. I also don't use a soap on my face. I just wash it with water and that's it.
The only part on my body that I am taking a good care now is my eyebrow and eyelashes. I really want to grow them more because I have a flimsy hair on both. What can you suggest?
How about you? What's your story?
