Kuya Eagle's Response To Me Through "Easy Lang Yan" UNTV Show

A few weeks ago, I made a blog post (click here to read) as a letter to Kuya Eagle (Riggs). He then sent me a message through Facebook and also responded through his UNTV show "Easy Lang Yan", making my childhood dream come true again. Hehe. Here's the part where he mentioned "MsHyperSinger" (which is my Youtube persona), and I must say that I was truly touched with his sincere message.

Thank you so much Kuya Eagle! Hope to see you next time I visit the Philippines! :D My parents are so happy that you made one of my childhood dreams come true, since I would talk to you through the television back then when I was super young. At least now, you really spoke back. Haha! Thanks again! Stay humble and blessed!

Autumn Rebel: My Tops and Make-Up

I just feel like posting something today, so I decided to post about how I faced Autumn like a season rebel.

I've already posted these photos on my Facebook and Instagram, so most likely you've already seen these.

Given that Autumn usually has soft neutral colours, and Summer has bright and popping colours, I decided to just feel like it's still Summer despite the fact that it's starting to become cooler as each day passes by.

For my top, I decided to wear my mom's pasalubong clothes from the Philippines. Both tops are from Terranova. I also wore my Shiseido RD304 lipstick to get that instant pop somewhere on my face, since I wore a neutral eyeshadow. 

Don't forget the messy hair! It's very important. 

On the following day, I decided to play around with my eyeshadows. I wore a pink sweater, so I went for the pink and blue eyeshadows from Chi Chi (I'll try to review the palette next time) to get really colourful.

For my eyelashes, I used Maybelline's  Volum' Express Falsies Everlasting Waterproof Mascara. I seriously love this mascara, since you do not need to apply fake eyelashes anymore to have a super dashing emphasis on your eyelashes. 

In terms of eyeliners, I have plenty of favourites, but in this photo, I decided to use The Face Shop's Styling Auto Gel Liner in Black.

So basically, that's it. Go against the season!!! When everyone's wearing bright colours during Summer, make sure you're wearing blacks and reds! =p

Dove Pure Anti-Perspirant Deodorant - Nuffnang Product Talk

Dove is ever so perfect in timing! I'm already about to finish my Dove deodorant, when suddenly, I received an invitation from Nuffnang to do a product talk about Dove. I received two Dove products, which of course, I was excited to use and blog about!

So yes, I have been using Dove's deodorant and body wash since college, thus, I am happy that I was given the opportunity to talk about their amazing product called Dove Pure. It is an anti-perspirant deodorant, and this is my first time using this line, because I usually use Dove Original.

Dove Pure Aerosol

We all know that Dove has been campaigning since the early years about how their products contain 1/4 moisturising cream to keep the skin looking healthy. I have a sensitive skin, and I found my skin feeling softer than ever with Dove.

Dove Pure Roll-On

Now let's go back to Dove Pure. I received a deodorant roll-on and an aerosol. I always use roll-ons because I had a bad experience with an aerosol deodorant of another brand. My skin got irritated. Obviously, it was in the ingredients of that product, and most likely, it was because of its ethyl alcohol content. Though I know that Dove claims to have no ethyl alcohol in their product, I was still hesitant to try the aerosol due to the past experience.

Of course I still did. You just got to try and change your perspective, right? So I tried the aerosol first, before the roll-on...

Dove Pure Aerosol

I am definitely impressed. NO FRAGRANCE (which is a huge factor for me, since some brands have a strong scent, which really overpowers everything) and NO IRRITATION at all. 

And since it is an antiperspirant, it kept my underarms dry all day (in a healthy way). 

Dove did it again. Their ingredients kept the product's promise of keeping underarms feeling dry and healthy, while removing the unnecessary ingredients that cause what I have personally experienced before with another brand-- irritation.

Dove Pure delivers what we only need.

No Parabens.

No Colourants.

No Fragrance.

No Alcohol (ethyl alcohol).

For people who want 48-hour protection without having to go through a feeling of discomfort, or unsightly signs of irritation, the unique formula is perfect. 

And again, Dove Pure -- like all other Dove products-- contains  1/4 moisturising cream to keep your skin young and healthy. How's that for a new addition to your skin care? =)

UStates LOANS: Quick Solution To Debts

"What I particularly like on their website is the map of the US on their homepage, which is divided into CLICKABLE states, to easily access a list of your state's lender companies. An example is the payday loans Spokane WA page." 

If you are in the US, and you suddenly fell short in cash and there is an emergency, you can easily get an instant loan through the UStates LOANS service. 

SOURCE: www.freedigitalphotos.net

UStates LOANS service's website is very easy to use. The template is very clean and organised, and it can guide you through the whole process as quickly as possible since the tabs are straight to the point. 

But before anything else, what are the basic requirements to be eligible in using this service?

• You have to be a US citizen.
• You must be able to provide evidence of identity.
• You must be over 18 years old.
• You must be able to show evidence of physical address (e.g. bills).
• You must be able to show evidence of income that is not lower than $1000/month.
• You must have a valid checking account in a bank.

Reviews can be read at the side of the webpage, and most of them have said positive feedback about this service. What I particularly like on their website is the map of the US on their homepage, which is divided into CLICKABLE states, to easily access a list of your state's lender companies. An example is the payday loans Spokane WA page. From there, you can view various companies, with reviews to help you in deciding which one to choose.

Now let's talk about the instant process involved in their payday loans. You just need to apply online through their website, and once the required details have been sent, the company will find the most relevant lender for you according to your area. You do not need to wait too long, for a payday lending company representative will contact you as soon as possible. 

With regards to approval, you will be contacted within an hour. It's THAT fast, because payday lenders no longer need to perform credit checks. Afterwards, money is directly transferred to your bank account within the day. 

Repayment is as simple as how you started. Usually, your next payday is your repayment day. The loan sum plus interest is withdrawn automatically from your bank account by your lender.

Basically, the overall process is very fast. Its goal is to really send you service right away, because they know that emergencies should be responded to as quickly as possible. 

With UStates Loans, you can easily get connected to a number of lender companies, which can accommodate you within the day. They are definitely your quick solution during times of emergencies.

Dear Kuya "Eagle" & His Response Through His Show, "Easy Lang Yan"

Dear Kuya Eagle,

Bata pa lang ako, paborito na kitang panoorin sa TV. Hanggang ngayon, kapag nakikita ako ng mga pinsan ko, binabanggit nila pagiging super fan ko dati, dahil witness sila sa pagiging biggest Eagle fan ko.

SOURCE: Eagle's Facebook Page

Tatlong taong gulang pa lamang siguro ako noon nang makita kita sa Teysi Ng Tahanan. May cooking portion ka noon kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko. Nagkaroon pa kayo ng special episode noon kung saan kailangan niyong gumawa ng drama episode. Hindi ako sigurado pero nandoon din ata si Eula Valdez. Basta nalungkot ako noong sinaksak ka ata...  Hindi ko maalala... Hindi ko alam paano ka namatay, pero ang alam ko e isa itong krimen. Natrauma ako, promise. Affected ako sa pagkamatay mo sa episode na 'yun.

Sinundan na kita simula noon hanggang dumating ang panahong kailangan ko nang pumasok sa paaralan, at ibig sabihin noon ay hindi na kita mapapanood sa TV, dahil tuwing umaga lang ang Teysi ng Tahanan. Syempre, masaya ako kapag bakasyon. Ibig sabihin, mapapanood ulit kita. Naalala ko pa noong nakita ako ng pinsan kong nakabakasyon sa amin na tumili ako noong nakita kita ulit sa Teysi ng Tahanan. Hindi niya makalimutan 'yun, kaya lagi niya akong tinatawag kapag nasa TV ka. 

Ganoon naman talaga kasi ang fan 'di ba?

Imaginin ang batang ito na super fan ni Eagle.
Ang batang fan ni Eagle. 6-year old Steph.

Laking tuwa ko nang napasama ka sa cast ng Mara Clara. Naalala ko pa noong kailangang ma-miss ko ang isang episode dahil umalis kami. Buti nalang at may TV doon sa office na tinambayan namin habang naghihintay sa kung ano man ang appointment noong mga oras na 'yun. Buo na naman ang araw ko. Masaya ako na nakita pa rin kita sa MOVIE version ng Mara Clara.

Tapos nakita ulit kita sa Mula Sa Puso. Grade two na ako noon pero ang saya ko pa rin!

Syempre, naaalala ko pa ang "Sang Linggo nAPO Sila". Ang show bago dumating ang MTB at Wowowee. At matagal kong hiniling na sana sa Baranggay naman namin kayo dumaan para sa Pidro Shirt na pinamimigay mo. Kaso hindi talaga kayo napapunta sa Baranggay namin. - sad face - Pero dumadaan ako lagi sa Pidro Shirt booth sa mga malls dati noong bata ako, kasi alam kong ineendorse mo 'yun...

Matagal din kitang hindi nakita sa telebisyon. Hanggang sumaya na naman ako nang napanood ko ang Petrang Kabayo. Talagang kita ang laki ng ngiti ko. Sumunod pa nang pinanood ko ang Praybeyt Benjamin sa eroplano nang umuwi ako sa Pilipinas. Muntik na akong tumili nang makita kong nandun ka na naman! Pinanood ko rin ito pabalik dito sa Australia. 

Ang bongga mo sa poster!

Alam ko pong nais niyo laging maglingkod sa mamamayang Pilipino. Kahit malayo na ako sa Pilipinas, sinusundan ko pa rin sa UNTV Web ang latest mong public service TV SHOW: Easy Lang Yan.

Maraming salamat po sa pagpapasaya niyo sa amin!

Good luck and sana po more blessings pa sa inyo!

Nagmamahal,

Steph

P.S. Marinig ko lamang boses niyo, alam kong IKAW NA YUN KUYA EAGLE! hehehe!

Ayun lamang po. Gusto ko lamang ikwento sa inyo ang pagiging fan ko simula noong bata pa ako. Masaya ako sa mga narating ni Kuya Eagle... Proud na proud ako!!! =)

O nood na rin kayo para makita niyo bakit love na love ko si Kuya Eagle!

UPDATE:
Kuya Eagle read and replied to my letter on his show last Tuesday! :) Here is the video where he responded to my letter on last April 30's episode.

I Saved Someone's Life Today ... She Didn't Know! Funny, but Makes Sense.

I was on the train, sitting on a two-seater seat, with my huge bag as my seatmate (I am known for having huge bags like I'm ready for camping--just saying). In front of me was a lady, and she was starting to fall asleep, slowly leaning on the window. Anyway, I was reading my free newspaper, when I saw something wrong in front of me.

It was very wrong. 

Well, aside from my observation that the lady in front of me had her jacket inside out, with the hanger strings dangling over the seat, and the brand tag saying "hi" to me because I was a familiar face to it (I own some tops which had the same brand...), there was something terrible going on.

Something moved from the corner. It was approaching her.

I tried to feel if the eyes of the person sitting behind me can see the problem too. Well, I didn't feel the eyes. Actually, you don't feel the eyes-- you feel the glance. You know... Like when there is a white lady with you inside a toilet room. I am now cringing at the thought of feeling one's eyes. Squishy. Anyway...

Nobody was reacting. I guess it was up to me. The attack to the clueless and sleeping lady in an inside out jacket was now only a few inches away. I had to do something.

I took my newspaper and felt the adrenalin. I was going to be a hero in a few seconds.

SOURCE: zazzle.com.au

With my super strength (thank you Jillian Michaels for the workouts... look where I'm using the results now...), I slid the newspaper towards the seat in front of me. 

*Toink*

The spider fell to my seat. Yay. 

I wasn't panicking. I felt super brave. 

Wahahahahhaaha. Created using this: http://www.heromachine.com/

In Australia, spiders are EVERYWHERE. Poisonous or not, they're everywhere! Their equivalent is the IPIS or cockroach of the Philippines. If a lot of Filipinos scream and run when the FLYING IPIS starts heading towards them, and I am completely apathetic when this happens, that is how I am to spiders here as well. I am not really a super fan of them, but, I don't know... I'm cool with them. Just don't crawl on me. I'm happy to live side by side with you guys. Uhm... No, not really. 

YAY IPIS!

Anyway, I caught the attention of the people around me. I tried to look cool, although the spider almost jumped onto my leg. 

I took my newspaper again and guided the spider to the floor.

There. I saved the lady's day without her knowing because she was asleep.

I could have saved her some more by telling her that her jacket was inside out.

Did I really save her life? Hmmm... To you, maybe that's a shallow story, but this simple story has amazing moral lessons... (Muhahahaha... I have to make this simple story awesome, right?):

1. No matter how small or big a thing is, it can affect someone's life.
• A spider is small, but could be venomous. What if it went inside her inside out jacket, and bit her? Would it then be actually outside her jacket because it was inside out?... Hmmm?  Because technically, the spider isn't inside because it's now outside her jacket because it's inside out. Yes, I enjoy putting emphasis on her inside out jacket.
• On a serious note, in life, small or big things make a difference. Whatever they may be, they can affect you--good or bad. You may not even be aware of their approach, because you're asleep in your inside out jacket. And this is leads us to the next moral lesson...
2. You are being saved without you knowing.

• Just like the lady in her inside out jacket, who was completely unaware of her jacket's state, she was also unaware of this spider approaching her. Then someone removed it for her (that's me, your superhero... :P ). She'll wake up, not knowing she could have been bitten if nobody responded to the situation.
• This situation reminded me of this cartoon:

SOURCE: http://www.turnbacktogod.com/

In life, we are unaware of how many times we have been saved from various circumstances. We complain about other things (like if you finally noticed that you were wearing your jacket inside out the whole time, and started throwing tantrums because your self-image is so important to you), without even knowing we missed many situations that could have led to something worse if God did not guide and protect us. No matter what your belief is, you are being saved all the time. =)

Then again, I could have ruined her opportunity to become the next Spiderwoman. And by saving the spider's life (because I do not like killing crawly things, and I am willing to be of assistance to them by catching them and placing them somewhere that is more of a habitat to them), the spider might have found a new home now in someone else's properly worn jacket. That is good for the spider, yes... I don't know if that's good for that "someone else" though. Hmmm... What if all along, it came back to me and has been with me all the time. Dun dun dun dun. Big twist. Nah, I'd keep it.

But really, spiders are awesome. And the moral lessons are awesome too. I don't know. I just thought of those on the spot. I was just typing about my funny story and how I wanted to make a joke out of the superhero mode I did by saving the lady from that spider. Then I realised that there were good moral lessons from the story too. So, yeah... 

Hope this post made you smile! =)
Congrats to Jort and Jepoy for their recent surprise blessings! =) They both showed how God really moves behind the scenes, and surprises us at the right time!
