My Asian Face: July Selfie

Before this month ends, I want to have a self-appreciation. I recently used my Instagram filters. It looks so vintage and aesthetic to me, but since it enhances the bright pink color side of a picture, you’ll notice the small pimple on my chin. I’ve been experiencing lately the “mask-ne” or the acne caused by wearing a mask. But it’s not a big deal tho. I have skincare products that would help me get rid of these zits. I am a naturally born pure Filipino. I do have a very Asian face. Small eyes, fuller lips, a small nose, and dark brown eyes (not visible, it looks more on the black side). Taking selfies is my favorite way of appreciating myself. I’m Kima, and I am proud to be a Filipino, I am proud to be an Asian.

It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.

There comes a time when we’re all fed up, we hate everyone, and we want to disappear in this wicked world, and I felt it too. Sometimes, my past haunts me, and I remember every single detail of pain and regret. How can I ever forget those if I can remember every scenario of my life?  Even just a simple thing can lead to an all-day chaotic mind. I didn’t want it, but how can I even resist if I was born with it? I envy those people who can just let everything slide and think what they want to believe. Those people who don’t overthink a lot and chill and relax without worries; How blessed are they? I entitled this post as It’s Okay, Not to Be Okay because it is customary to encounter bad days. We are just humans who have a lot of challenges and struggles in life. But the most crucial thing in this is that we learn and grow.  Recently, my anxiety has kept on attacking me due to some …

3 Recommended Skincare for Oily Face

Due to the stress and pollution I am encountering, and I needed effective yet mild skincare products to keep my skin healthy and nourished. I don’t usually follow the 10 Steps Korean Skincare of others that include so many different kinds of products with different uses. Maybe one of the factors is that I don’t use, wear, or apply makeup every day, so I don’t need to do heavy wash or whatever to do to my face, to make it clean and clear. I will share with you my most used skincare products this month of July. Every month I have a skincare set favorite that I might feature on my blog posts. So for this month, my skin is in love with Simple Skincare Products. I use these three products every day which helps me to achieve the cleanliness, smoothness, and control oil that I’m aiming for. Oil Be Gone Micellar Water A daily skin detox makeup remover to some, but I use it as a cleanser because it is gentle and mild on …

Am I left behind?

Honestly, I’m 26 years of age and still living with my parents. Most of the time, I was thinking about the future that I dreamed of. Why am I only here? No significant achievements yet, no house, no car, and no love life. Whenever I see some posts of other people on social media flexing their achievements, activities, careers, or relationship status, I feel sad and insecure. But then I realized that I should learn to appreciate what I have been working on now and then. I should learn to appreciate what God gave me because I’m still lucky to have my degree, job, family with me, friends, and myself. I was so affected by other people’s achievements because I kept comparing my shoes to theirs, yet I didn’t realize that we have our chapters, our journeys, and our own lives. It doesn’t mean that we’re all in the same boat because we have different trips and challenges based on our experiences. In that way, I should learn to love myself more, focus on where …
