IS IT SAFE? Visiting Chinatown in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia as a Pinoy Tourist


In Southeast Asia, visiting the cheapest market areas often puts you at risk for becoming a victim of crime. However, Malaysia is different. There is a sense of responsibility and discipline that makes them stand out when it comes to containing criminal activities. 

As a Pinoy tourist coming from a place where criminality is relatively rampant, I am aware of the pros and cons of safeguarding your belongings when going out in public. That is why, although Malaysia has a lower crime rate, I am still vigilant, especially since I am a foreigner.


Visiting Chinatown

Chinatown is located in Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. It is easily accessible by taking a bus or train, then stopping at Pasar Seni Train Station. For us, We took a bus from Jalin Street in Downtown to Chinatown.

First Impression

Chinatown is a bustling bazaar with a variety of products you can see as you walk through the streets. As a foreigner, the thing that catches my attention is the cleanliness in the area. There are minimal foul-smelling odors that you usually experience when going to wet markets. 

Most products I saw are garments. Examples are shirts, pants, shorts, underwear, and hats. There are bags, trolley bags, handbags, and shoulder bags to choose from. I also see some jewelry stores selling silver and gold jewelry. 

Safety

Although some people warned me to be careful, I am thankful that I never encountered any criminal activities. I never lost anything while visiting Chinatown. Most of all, I feel somewhat safe, which made me feel comfortable during my short trip in the area. 

Overall, I managed to purchase two shirts with some tourist spot prints in Malaysia. I did not buy any additional items due to the limited baggage allowance going back to the Philippines. 

We went to Pasar Sani train station going to KLCC Sentral Station.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Victory Liner's Royal Bus Trip from Baguio City to Pasay to take my NCLEX


Since I am scheduled to take my NCLEX on April 23, 2025, it is now about time for me to go to Manila the day before. But a week before my exam, I already made an online booking for my accommodation on Victory Liner's Royal Class Bus and an overnight accommodation in Makati near my exam center.

Online Booking

I discovered it is more convenient to book online rather than personally queuing at the bus terminal. 

I just took a screenshot of my booking confirmation at the counter and then received my ticket. The price is a little over Php 1,500.

Bus Impression

A. Exterior

The bus used for Royal Class trips has a different design. It has a different color with a combination of red and black, labelled on its exterior. The bulk is much bigger than other air-conditioned buses. 

B. Interior

Upon entering the bus, you will notice it has a three-row, double-decked sleeper set-up. Each cubicle has a reclining chair that you can adjust to a 30-degree angle that promotes a suitable position to sleep while on your way to your point of destination. 


Perks and give-aways

When you book a Royal Bus Trip at Victory Liner, you will avail of and enjoy the following:

- Free Blanket

- Free 300ml water bottle

- A snack

- Free wifi

- A charging port

- Built-in Comfort Room inside the bus


Trip Journey

The duration of my trip was between 7:40 am to 11:40 am. It was a four-hour trip from Baguio to Pasay via TPLEX and NLEX. So it was an express with no stopover.


Overall, the trip was worth it. I really needed to have a relaxing, non-irritating, and uninterrupted trip to Manila. The best part is, I passed the NCLEX exam, which is truly a memorable experience.

SOBRANG SARAP | Trying Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina in Baguio City | Fusion of Filipino-Mexican Cuisine Restaurant Food Vlog

 If you are looking for a Mexican dish to satisfy your palate, Silantro is one of the Restaurants that I can recommend when you are in Baguio City. The name of the Restaurant is "Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina", which I discovered has multiple branches across NCR, Central Luzon, and Northern Luzon, Philippines. The location is on the Ground Floor of Summer Pines Residences, along Marcos Highway, Baguio City.

The place is smartly located in a spot where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Mount Santo Tomas Volcano if you choose to sit on the veranda area. However, when the weather is rainy, you have no choice but to take your seat inside for your health and safety.

In this blog, I will be making a food blog rating based on what I experienced firsthand during my visit to the place as a first-time patron. My rating will be based on the ambiance of the place, the service of the staff, the quality of the food, and the price. 


The Ambiance: 9.5/10

The rating is almost perfect. The remainder is due to the weather factor. You will be the luckiest person if you happen to visit the area when the weather is fair and sunny. This will be the best opportunity for you to enjoy the relaxing view of Marcos Highway, the southern portion of Baguio City. You can enjoy Al-Fresco dining with your loved ones if you opt to have a breath of fresh air.

The Service: 9.5/10

What I love about is the fast service. The average serving time is 5 minutes and it is considered super fast. I also noticed that the staff were all welcoming upon entrance until exit with their warm smile. All staff are approachable and always initiate all your needs while making sure you will get comfortable and relaxed. 

The Price: 9/10

Most of the prices are reasonable and affordable if you compare them on the menu. There are foods that anyone can avail of without worrying about their pockets. Some specialties are worth the price, given the trademark of the restaurant's high-quality Filipino-Mexican dishes. We should thank the chef for their unwavering talent for keeping our palate satisfied with these unique flavors. 

The Food: 9.5/10

I must say, I can't get enough of the 5-course meals that we availed during the visit. The chicken burritos are so good that I can eat more than I can chew. My favorite Silantro Paella Fajita never failed to amaze my palate. Good thing we ordered a high-fiber Lucha Nacho Completos. I also can't stop eating Beef tacos, which are undeniably indeed their best-selling food. But I am surprised by the cheesy Quesadilla as the underrated course.

Verdict

Overall, I am satisfied with my visit to Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina, Baguio City Branch.  The staff made us all feel comfortable during our stay and made sure all our needs were met. We felt safe while enjoying the sumptuous food available in the place and enjoyed each flavor. The staff always initiates if we need something, which is an impressive way to entertain guests. 

I definitely will recommend this place as I never felt any signs of uneasiness. Upon my return, I will try other menus that I have yet to devour and satisfy my stomach in the future. I am grateful to have restaurants in our area serving dishes from other cultures for the locals to try.

New and Affordable Beach Resort: BeachCamp by LOC in Caba, La Union, Philippines | Travel Tips and Ratings


This is a glimpse of BeachCamp Resort by LOC in Elyu (La Union), a resort that offers a calm getaway for both local and international travelers or tourists. It gives a calming ambiance to those who want to escape from a stressful environment. For tourists, taking a dose of Vitamin Sea eliminates stress and negativity from work, home, and toxic friends. 




Location:

BeachCamp by LOC is one of the newest beach resorts in Caba, La Union. The place is specifically located at Barangay Santiago Sur, Caba, La Union, Philippines. It will take at least 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Baguio, 2-4 hrs drive from the North in Ilocandia while it will take you at least 4-6 hours from Manila. 



Note: The Google map and Waze show that you have reached your destination when reaching a swampy area and it will seem the Google Map made an incorrect arrival spot. The next thing you have to do is to follow the unpaved road on the right side. 

Check-in time is 2pm while Check-out time is 12noon the next day


accommodations

Open Kubo (Php 1000 for 8 pax day rate)

This is a spacious area for family or friends who wants to spend their day relaxing and unwinding. 


A -Type Kubo (Php 1700 for 4 pax overnight) 

A unique type of accommodation that makes you feel like camping along the beach.


Aircon Room with Toilet (Php 2400 for 4 pax overnight)

Best for a family who wants to spend overnight in the resort. 


The scenic view

Grabbed from my drone, the place is pristine with grey sand that looks similarly white during the day. The area is not that populated as compared to other resorts in San Fernando and San Juan in La Union. What I love is the absence of rocky landscapes across the shorelines. Even if you go far like a distance of 20 meters, the water level is still below your waistline. 


Mysterious Sea Fireflies

The owner forgot to inform me about the presence of "sea fireflies". These are the bioluminescent planktons that react to any movement along the shorelines, giving a luminous glow during the night. This is best observed during the Full Moon.


The Beach

The whole stretch of coastline is not rocky at all. the area has smooth grey sand. You can walk along the beach while enjoying its warm breeze. It is not mossy, it is not murky, and you can build sand castles. There are no sharks, no snakes, or crocodiles. 


My Ratings

1. Service (10/10): The staff provides an approachable ambiance, making you feel at home during your stay at the resort. They are jolly, easy to mingle with, and you can even share different stories under a cup of coffee or any juice drink. 

2. Ambiance (10/10): This is the best part. The place is still virgin with little or no resorts nearby. There is an obvious observation of a lesser crowd than other resorts in the area. You can relax without having concerns with other guests. 

3. Facilities (8/10): The place is still under construction. Soon, there will be new amenities such as swimming pools and function halls. Perhaps more rooms for additional guests in the area. 

4. Expenses (10/10): The place is really cheap. The room rates, food, and other expenses are considerably affordable. Since we availed of the Aircon room, 5 bottles of juice, and 4 breakfast, I only paid a total of Php 3,785. If you compare it with the expenses of other resorts, it will really cost you more than Php 5,000 or more. 

5. Safety (9/10): I forgot to mention this in my vlog. I would say 9/10. You cannot really say it is 100% safe due to the different personalities and psychological capacity of other guests and other locals within the area. Guarding your belongings is still the best thing to prevent any untoward incidents. 

Recommendations?

Definitely worth recommending this resort. I will probably return again if given the chance to unwind with friends, family, or a lifetime partner. 


Have fun and enjoy

Top 5 Best Sodium Ascorbate Capsules or Non-Acidic Vitamin C for the Year 2021


 

Vitamin C is one of the best nutrients in boosting our immune system from pathogenic microorganisms. The mechanism of action of Vitamin C is to help regenerate smooth muscle fibers of our cell and to improve the perfusion of white blood cells against infectious agents. The best way to have it is to eat fruits that taste sour, indicating a high content of vitamin c nutrients. 

However, not all people are compatible with the Ascorbic Acid supplement as it contains irritants affecting the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Ascorbic Acid is known to cause irritations in the gastric mucosa. Signs and Symptoms include abdominal pain or sometimes, bleeding. Sodium Ascorbate is another form of a Vitamin C variant that helps to prevent gastric mucosa irritation while aiming to boost the immune system. 

Here are the Top 5 Best Sodium Ascorbate Capsules for the Year 2021

1. Ultima-C: This is a product that is well-known for individuals who are members of UNO MLM Company. Ultima-C is the most promising product of UNO company because it helps to improve the immune system without causing harm to the stomach. Discount is higher if you are a member of the UNO MLM company to avail yourself of a cheaper price of Php 10 per capsule.

2. 24-Alkaline-C: One of the fast-growing Sodium Ascorbate brand in the market. It's popularity hurdles the local market due to the onslaught of the pandemic. The brand has an average of at least Php 8 per capsule as well. This brand is available to all drugstores in the Philippines.

3. Fern-C: This is still one of the most popular products in the market. A decade ago, I already observed the presence of this brand in various drugstores. The main campaign is its non-acidic nature for people who wants to improve their immune system. The price of this product ranges between Php 7 to 12 per capsule. 

4. Radiance Vitamin C-Plus: The most interesting Sodium Ascorbate variant. It contains not only Vitamin C but other essential nutrients for wellness. These are collagen, sodium carbonate, Quercetin, and NAC that are essential antioxidants in the body. Price ranges from Php 10 and above, depending on the seller.

3 BEST TIPS | COLLAGEN BY WATSONS TONER PENTA LUCENT SYSTEM FOR ACNE & SCARS


There is one savior for me whenever I am having a set of pimple outbreaks. Collagen Toner by Watsons with Penta Lucent system is the best facial toner that I am optimistic about my face. This toner has the best instant effect on my face, indicating the compatibility on my skin. One thing more, I can feel the freshness upon using this facial toner every after use. There is a feeling of firmness that I believe it can really minimize fine lines around my face and even on my skin.

Collagen Toner by Watsons with Penta Lucent system has five different collagen compounds that are essential to improve the skin's collagen and elastin components. One effect is to firm the face by means of rejuvenating collagen and elastin. The Penta Lucent system aims to eliminate stressed cells responsible for making the face look pale and look darker.

3 Best Tips to eliminate Acne or Pimples and Scars:

1. Wash your face with either your favorite soap or facial cleanser: For best results, it is always essential to use the Collagen Toner with a clean face. Wash your face using any soap or facial cleanser helps to eliminate excess oil, dirt, dead cells, and impurities in your skin. One thing more, washing your face removes harmful bacteria and viruses, responsible for causing infection.

2. Use a base moisturizer right after washing your face: It is important to maintain the moisture of the face after washing with soap. The rationale is to prevent the face and neck from severe dryness that can lead to irritation and discomfort. Base moisturizer restores moisture to the epidermis, which nourishes the cells after washing away all impurities.

3. Apply the toner in a circular motion: After the washing and moisturizing routine took place, it is now time to apply the toner. Use a small amount of cotton to absorb the toner and then begin the circular motion to the face. Start from the frontal area of the face in a circular motion and then around the face. Include the neck and the nape when applying the toner for the best overall results. 

Note: You can apply the toner to your face at least twice a day. For me, I apply once a day before bedtime. My face routine usually takes place before I sleep at night.

PONDS AGE MIRACLE BB+ ANTI AGING BB CREAM FOUNDATION CONCEALER TO COVER ACNE AND SCARS


Acne breakout is the worst thing that can happen to your face. Pimple outbreak makes it even worse due to the appearance of papules all around your face. Whenever there is either a pimple or acne breakouts in your face, it affects your mood. The concentration on your daily routine will have a lesser focus due to the appearance of red marks on the face or neck. After having a breakout, the next concern is the appearance of dark scars. 

I bought Pond's BB cream, thinking that it can really hide visible acne and pimple breakouts. That is my main purpose why I buy bb cream and foundation to use it whenever going out during the daytime. Good thing Watson's offer this product that seeks to help individuals gain their confidence back even if they are having pimple outbreaks. I decided to choose Pond's age miracle BB+ Anti Aging BB cream. This cream seems better than the regular bb cream.

Back Story: One month ago before purchasing Pond's anti-aging BB cream, I went to Watsons and purchased their latest rejuvenating set. The price is worth Php 800 and my money got short to purchase this product. So I have to leave behind Pond's age miracle anti-aging BB cream to purchase on the next month, which I already have it now and made a review. 

Upon applying the cream, it gives an instant coverage on your face, hiding pimples and scars. One thing more is the cream's ability to hide fine lines such as wrinkles. The ingredients help to restore your skin's youthful balance due to the presence of zinc oxide, niacinamide, and linoleic acid. 

The Box contents:
  • Makeup brush: One good thing about purchasing this product is the free brush. This brush is ideal for applying face powder on top of the bb cream in your face and neck. The brush has fine strokes when you apply additional dry powder.
  • Bb cream: The main product. It contains an anti-aging ingredient that is suitable to make you look younger than your age. Upon applying the cream on my face, it can really make a difference between before and after photos on the thumbnail. 
Price: At Watsons Store, you can avail of the product for just Php 499 or roughly 500. If you prefer purchasing online, you should expect a higher value due to the courier fee and another fee for the delivery.

The detoxifying effects of this ingredient help to lower cholesterol, responsible for preventing heart diseases, stroke, and cardiovascular ailments. 

2. Vitamin C: In the form of ascorbic acid, this is the most important nutrient in our body for defending against pathogens.

5 TIPS | SKIN REBORN REJUVENATING SET WITH KOJIC ACID & VITAMIN C FOR ACNE AND BLACKHEADS

Skin Reborn Rejuvenating Set is one of the newest rejuvenating sets you can find in the market. This product is locally made in the Philippines, highlighting the genes of Filipino skin from local dermatologists and chemists. One interesting thing is the use of Kojic Acid as a powerful ingredient that is suitable for making the skin looking more radiant. Here are the components of Skin Reborn Rejuvenating Set:

Each Set Contains the Following:
  • Kojic Acid Papaya Soap: Best to remove dirt in your face and body while the kojic acid and other ingredients provide a brighter effect on the skin.
  • Cleansing Toner: The perfect solution to clear out hidden oil and dirt in the face and neck.
  • Rejuvenating Cream: Contains essential nutrients that soothe the first and second layers of the skin while moisturizing and repairing collagen and elastin compounds. 
  • Sunblock: It has SPF 30 protection against the harmful UVA and UVB from the Sun.

Steps:

1. Wash your face using lukewarm water. Make sure to wash your face, neck, at the back of the neck, nape, and the upper chest area. Using a circular motion, use the Kojic soap around your face, neck, ears, nape, and in the upper chest. The reason is to prevent uneven skin tone when using the product for more than one week. Rinse with water after one to two minutes.

2. Optional: Apply moisturizer immediately after use, which is my routine. You may or may not use moisturizer as an optional choice before applying the toner. The reason for this optional choice is to prevent any irritation from the face due to the strong impact of the kojic acid soap and the toner. 

3. The next step is to apply the cleansing toner for the face. Note that it is important not to apply too much toner as it can cause irritation to the face after using the kojic acid soap. Same with the Kojic Acid Soap application, brush the neck, nape, and back of the ears with the toner.

4. Apply creams. The first is the rejuvenating cream, which is my favorite part of using the rejuvenating set. This cream is very important as it helps your dermis and epidermis regenerate. Then apply sunscreen to protect your face and neck from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB from the sun when applying it during the daytime. 

Note: You may apply the rejuvenating cream either during daytime or night time, depending on your free time to pamper your face. Skin Reborn does not restrict any gender. This product is universal, regardless of your gender or sexual orientation.

I RECEIVED A SCAMING MAIL | HOW TO PREVENT YOUTUBE PHISHING SCAM EMAILS




Recently, I just received a scam e-mail, and as a familiar experience, I did what I have to with this type of activity. At first, I became scared because they are now targeting me to pose as a company in order to manipulate and get my confidential information to steal my YouTube and social media accounts. To ignore it. This is my nth time receiving such emails, attempting to acquire my login information and then all confidential files to lure me into their trap. Phishing emails such as this recent activity on my email service provider reminds me of something to be more careful with the things that I always see in the digital world.



Scam emails are risky scenarios that can trick a certain victim to hand out their confidential information. Hackers use manipulating messages and images as a way to further become more successful in their criminal intents online. Phishing emails pose as a replica of some email or social media service providers to make it look real whenever they want to persuade their victims of clicking links to their websites. Once the victim clicks the link, the hacker can now inject their adware and spyware to collect personal information.

4 Tips How to Prevent Phishing Scam in Emails


1. Ignore or delete the message: To answer the question, it is simply by ignoring the message and then delete it forever. Deleting things that give a stressful meaning in your life can prevent future problems that can give you emotional and mental stress in the future. Deleting it and then emptying your trash bin in your email will make you feel more relaxed.

2. Check the source of the Email: When you receive an email and demands something, make sure to consider it as suspicious. Determining the source of all emails coming into your inbox may always pose a threat due to the anonymity of the email. Click the source and determine if it is indeed coming from a legit source will let you realize, you are dealing with something sinister in your email.



3. Inspect the grammar: One important way to determine if the email is a scam will be all about the grammatical composition of the mail. In scam emails, there are grammatical errors you will find since hackers are not that well-versed with the composition of grammars with their choice of words used in their mails or message towards you.

4. Forcing to click a link: One way to know if you are receiving a phishing email is when the message is telling or demanding you to click the link. One thing more is when they will blackmail you such as terminating your channel or account if you will not click the link. This is simply a type of scam that lures you through the application of manipulation.

Always remember, knowledge is power. Awareness is the key to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of phishing scams like this.

BELO COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK WITH HYALURONIC ACID & MELON SMOOTHIE | MABIL...



If you want to have a great day ahead by regenerating the collagen and elastin formation for your skin, Belo Collagen is the best thing to consider. I became curious about this product a month ago because I saw it in Watsons, department stores, and supermarkets. I decided to purchase a box of Belo Collagen Melon Smoothie powder Drink and a sachet of Collagen powder drink with hyaluronic acid. I became excited about how it will work on my skin.



Let us discuss the first one, Belo Collagen Powder Drink Melon Smoothie. This is the larger sachet as compared to Belo Collagen Powder Drink with Hyaluronic Acid. What I love about this product is the taste of melon fruit. I am certain Belo Medical Group/ Nutraceuticals have experts to create a new way to enhance the collagen production of our bodies. It took me ten days to drink the whole product until I observed something brighter in my skin.


The second product is the Belo Collagen Powder Drink with Hyaluronic Acid. The size of this product is smaller than the melon smoothie. Hyaluronic Acid helps the skin to regenerate the cells, making it softer and smoother. However, there is one main ingredient that many are not aware of, which is the protein called arginine. People with chickenpox are known to be allergic to arginine because it can further help nourish the cyclovirus and replicate to worsen the sores. Other than that, all is well.


Things to prepare:

  • 200-250 ml glass of drinking water
  • Belo Collagen Powder Sachet
  • Spoon or stirring tool for the collagen drink and glass of water
  • A scissor to cut the sachet
Procedure:
  • Use the prepared glass of water, preferably at least 200 ml to 250 ml (Your choice if it is either cold or hot)
  • Open the Belo Collagen Powder Drink and then pour to the glass of water
  • Stir the collagen powder thoroughly (It will not dissolve fast so be patient mixing for five minutes)
  • Drink the collagen drink (Once a day)


Effects of Belo Collagen Powder Drink

After drinking it after ten days, I noticed something dramatic on my skin. Your face will look brighter each day as you are drinking the collagen powder. Your body will start to look less stressed and relaxed all the time. After waking up in the morning, you will feel something good in your body after drinking it at least one week. You will feel a bit lighter on an everyday basis, which is already enough to keep your day always fresh and feel positive.

Do you love the effect of this collagen powder in my body after using it for 10 days?

Which is better, Luxe Organix Aloe Vera Gel or Skin Lab Jeju Aloe Ice Moisturizer?




Testing two products at once is a way for you to determine if which is the better product you can use in the future. This is my chance to know the differences between the two products that I will prefer to buy consumed in a matter of time. As usual from my skincare routine when using moisturizer products, I finally determined this product is really better when it comes to tightening your skin and closing your pores right after making a comparison video between the two.



It is important to make a comparison of the products that you will use for your daily routine. Making such comparisons will let you identify the product that is compatible with the tone of your skin and its reaction to the chemicals or the organic compounds of the object you use. In this way, identifying products that are not compatible with the genetic integrity of your skin and the system will let you prevent allergic products in the market. Let us now start the comparison


Luxe Organix Aloe Vera Gel: This is a special moisturizer that aims to prevents dryness of the skin. The covering color is green with a transparent inside the container. With a 300 ml per piece, it is considerably large and plentiful enough to have at least one month to consume it in your face and other parts of the body. The main composition of the product is aloe vera, which makes up 98% of the gel. The recommendation is at least on a daily basis to see the best result.



Skin Lab Jeju Aloe Ice: One of the most in-demand reformulated products in the market with a new ingredient. The most interesting thing about the product is the cooling ingredient, making the skin feel more relaxed when using the gel. The shape and the amount are similar to Luxe Organix Aloe Veral except for the color of the container and the gel, which are white. One requirement before use is to refrigerate the product before applying the gel into the face.

During the procedure:

1. Applying the products: On the left side of my face is the Luxe Organix Aloe Vera Gel while on the right is Skin Lab Jeju Aloe Ice. I applied at least two tablespoonfuls of gel into each side with different products and massaged thoroughly for at least two minutes. The duration took me at least five minutes until I felt the sensation from the two products. Massaging enables the product to penetrate beneath the skin and moisturizes the layers.

2. Applying ice: Ice is an important pore minimizer with the aloe vera product on the skin. Just rub the ice cubes into the face and perform a circular motion. After applying the two products on both the left and right sides of my face, it is now time to use the ice. The ice helps the pores to shrink due to the cold temperature. The cooler temperature allows constriction to happen to all smooth muscles in the skin when the ice will have direct contact with the skin.



Optional: (Using Jade Roller) Jade roller is a special facial rolling tool to help rejuvenate the skin. The roller has a cool surface that tightens the pores. The massaging effect of the roller allows blood vessel circulation throughout the face. The upward stroke of the roller promotes facial lifting.

Verdict

After performing all the procedures, it is important to rinse the face with water. A few minutes after using a dry towel to dry my face, I notice something between the two products. On the left side, while using Luxe Organix Aloe Vera Gel, there is a better firmness or tightness. On the right side with Jeju Aloe Ice, there is a lesser tightness all over my face.

IS IT REALLY SPICY? | SAMYANG EXTREMELY CHILI CHICKEN FLAVOR RAMEN



Samyang, the most famous noodles in the world. This is my first time trying to eat this kind of noodles in my life. I have viewed many video challenges showing this product as the center for a competitive eating contest. Before I started recording my videos, I already witnessed a variety of spicy noodle challenges for the past years. This is the only time I decided to make a video about this product to determine if it is really up to the hype. Out of curiosity, I purchased the lesser spicy product to prevent my body's response to the capsicum trigger the histamine response of my body.



I finally got one, which is the black-colored spicy ramen. The name is Samyang's Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Stir Fry noodles. I got excited when I saw this product and test my mouth's capacity if it can really surpass my expectations of this famous ramen in the world. At first, I was scared due to a variety of unsuccessful reactions from vloggers who already tried the product. Out of curiosity, I still managed to purchase one of these products and will test the capacity of my palate.


The preparation of this instant ramen is similar to the other instant noodles or ramen you can apply to other products. This includes boiling at least three cups of water with the noodles for at least 10 minutes before draining the water and then add the condiments on the plate. Others can perform the stir-fry method to the noodles. For me, any will do, for as long as I will try this food to satisfy my curiosity and to determine the capacity of my palate.

I chose to pick this 1x spicy ramen noodles because I don't want to make an embarrassment to my vlog whenever my palate cannot handle the level of spiciness. As compared with the 2x hot ramen, my palate failed to handle the level of spiciness of that red-packed ramen. As they always say, start with the lesser spicy ramen before leveling your palate's capacity to the spicier brand of the same ramen product.



After cooking and preparing the product, it is time for me to test my palate. On the first three bites, I was amazed by how my mouth handled the spiciness of the ramen. On the fourth bite, the advent of chilliness started to heat my palate. The spicy level sensation is different when you eat the actual chili. I paused for a few seconds, drank milk, and then continue eating the spicy noodles.

As they always say, when you eat spicy food, make it fast until the last bite before the spiciness will attack your palate. I really did that fashion while eating the ramen and then it is successful. I love the taste of the ramen even if it has a strong chili taste.

BEST FOR PIMPLES | Wyn Dark Spot and Acne Clear Soap including Toner Mist Review



Introducing Wyn Cosmetics, one of the most common problems that we have in our life is having a series of pimple breakouts throughout our face, neck, back, and in the upper chest level. Pimple breakout starts at puberty when hormones become active for young teenagers as their body to start its maturation stage. The hormones affect the condition of the skin as there is a new protein synthesis that interacts with the integumentary and circulatory system that generates new breakouts.



Thanks to Wyn Cosmetics, I have the opportunity to try their precious products to control acne breakouts on my skin. Every month, I experience one big breakout, which is why I need this product. Applying this product ensures the prevention of a large acne breakout that is always responsible for losing my self-esteem whenever I go outdoors or even vlogging for my videos. Not only it can control acne breakouts, but it also rejuvenates my skin overnight without worrying anything.



Each acne breakout makes me feel uncomfortable due to the presence of impurities that my face looks like. whenever I face the mirror.

My Reaction of Miss Universe 2019 When Gazini did not Advance to Top 10



As for my first reaction, I should say Miss Universe 2019 is really the most anticipated beauty pageants in the universe I have to watch yearly. Watching beauty pageants is similar to watching ball games in either indoor or outdoor events in any sport. For me, watching Miss Universe makes a realism on my personality as a person that makes me create multiple reactions in each event. Let us take a look at how I reacted upon watching the girls flaunt themselves on stage.

In the morning when I woke up, I knew Miss Universe is already preparing for their crowning ceremony and the finals night. Our time in Manila is way advanced than in the Eastern Coast time of the United States. That is why we are 12 hours ahead. The pageant started at 8 in the evening Eastern Time in the United States while it is 8 in the morning Manila time GMT +8. We have a similar time with Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Perth.

What I saw in my social media account is a series of live streams of several users who want to share what was going on in Miss Universe. There are some spectators in the actual pageant area who are living and showing updates of the pageant. Some are even correspondents of media networks who share their personal social media accounts to help fans have access, especially for those who are at work.



When the pageant started at 8 in the morning, I already prepared my camera to film or shoot myself while watching Miss Universe. It was the introduction of the candidates and then the announcement of the Top 20 semifinalist of Miss Universe 2019. The format still remains per continent. Asia and Africa are grouped together and only five will be selected. Europe will have at least five lucky candidates. The Americas or the entire western hemisphere will only have one group. And the staff will pick at least five. 

Since the Philippines sits in the Asian continent and grouped with Africa, Steve Harvey, the host, announced South Africa, Thailand, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Obviously, the Philippines was never called at that moment. Many were wondering, something is not right about this in various social media accounts. 


The speech portion. Gazini Ganados made an inspiring speech during her moment as one of the semifinalists. One concerning thing is the time she stuttered while speaking. After stuttering, it triggered the heavy pressure towards her and her facial reaction suddenly changed. 

In Europe, Iceland, France, Croatia, Portugal, and Albania were called. For the Americas, Puerto Rico, Peru, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the United States secured the Top 20 spots. For the Wild card, The Philippines was then called with Venezuela, India, Brazil, and Colombia. 

Moving on with the Top 10 announcement, USA, Colombia, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Peru, Iceland, France, Indonesia and then Thailand was called. I was hoping the last would be the Philippines. When Steve Harvey announced it was Mexico, it is now time for me to turn off the television. That's it. 

Despite the heartbreaking exclusion of Gazini Ganados, I am still proud of her. She still managed to penetrate the top 20 semifinalists round and were given the chance to showcase her advocacy and speech to the audience. Her stint this year will surely make questions from the analysts of the Philippine pageant camps on how they will remaster their strategies for the next representative of Miss Universe in 2020.

POTEN CEE Vitamin C & Collagen | Effective ba with Vitamin E or Myra Ultimate?



Are you looking for the best Vitamin C brand in the market, you got the right article for me to discuss. This is the Poten Cee Vitamin C. What is really interesting about this product is the enrichment of Collagen. This means you will not only have a boost in your immune system but also to improve the perfusion of your skin and skeletal system. This brand has a double combination that you will have in your life as you take it regularly on a daily basis.

What is really interesting is the collagen content of the Vitamin C. Collagen is an abundant protein in our body that is helping our joints to be intact. Our joints facilitate the movement of our bodies by allowing our limbs to coordinate with a fashion. The connective tissues in our muscles help to bind the bones together to have a uniform range of motion activities as the body moves. Collagen helps connective tissues in our body to make a strong bond.


In our skin, collagen helps our physical appearance to look younger. As you take more collagen into your body, it helps to improve the perfusion of the skin cells together. If you notice a person who is always taking collagen supplements, their skin to appear consistently radiant. As a Poten Cee user, there is a noticeable change that you will observe in your skin.

Perfect Pair with Myra E or Myra Ultimate

Myra Ultimate is the latest edition of Myra supplements. The most important ingredient in this product is Astaxanthin, which is a potent protein substance that enables the connective tissue in our body to regenerate. When combined with Vitamin C, the potency of Asthaxantin becomes more viable enough to fasten the recovery of damaged cells in the body. The skin becomes supple and looks fresher when a person combines taking Poten-Cee + C and Myra Astaxanthin.


If there is no available Myra Ultimate, there is a substitute, which is the Vitamin E of any brand. Taking Poten Cee with Vitamin E enriches the perfusion of skin cells and connective tissues in the body to become supple and normalized. The duration of regeneration takes a shorter time for the cells to become more radiant with the skin cells and other parts of the body. The elastin compound can regenerate into its normal form, which enables the body to become healthier.

The only reminder for taking this product is the consistency. As a person, religious intake of food supplements such as Poten Cee and Myra Ultimate is beneficial as it can really have a noticeable change in the skin and appearance. One thing is the avoidance of vices, which can degrade the progress of regeneration for the skin cells all over the body.

Do you regularly take this product?

Paano Kumita sa YouTube? My 3rd YouTube Earnings Sweldo (Kinabahan ako s...

Waiting for your paycheck is like you are in a stop-watch action, starting to feel the agony that you might wait for nothing.


After the fourth day after lunchtime, the feeling of sorrow suddenly began to fade as I saw the mail from Google. Gladly, the mail is a payment notification, stating the availability of my earning pay-out.

Since September, both my two channels start to produce the milk of my success from months of successive vlogging for almost every day. As soon as I am now working with my vlogs, I am so thankful for the blessings that these two channels are now going through because it made me feel happier. It is now for you to guess how much I earned in that particular vlog because I intentionally did not mention it.

Accept who you are when deciding to vlog because self-adaptation is the key to become successful in your life.
