How to Make a Homemade Hair Wax

Finally after several attempts and burning myself I have perfected my own homemade sugar hair wax.  You too can try your own sugar hair wax at home and save a lot from going to the salons.

Here's what you will need:

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup kalamansi juice 

What to do?

1. Mix the three ingredients in a bowl.  
2. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.  
3. Pour in a saucepan and apply low heat.
4. Keep on stirring the mixture to avoid burning it and until you will have a thick brown liquid.
5. If it is thick enough, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using it. 
6. You can store it in a heat proof container for later use and store in the fridge.
7. It can easily be warmed up in the microwave, so you need not worry about later use.

That's it.  We just had my homemade sugar hair wax.  It is all natural so it's perfect to use on arms, legs, underarms, upper lips and others.

So next time you see those unwanted hairs, worry no more!

Cebuanos are driven to help the victims of Sendong

On Several Typhoon Threats:  “Many times Cebu is targeted but sometimes we always escape and I think it’s because ang kapa (cape) sa Sr. Sto. Niño, our brother Cebuano, is always covering Cebu and we are very lucky but we feel the pain and misery of our brothers, many of them are Cebuanos,” Gullas said.

Many individuals, groups and organizations have extended relief and financial assistance.  There were various groups scattered all over Cebu's Towns and Cities collecting donations no matter how small they maybe.  As I was about to exit at the gate of ABS-CBN today, I saw three teenagers crossing with a plastic bag of used clothing.  I saw in their eyes the eagerness to help and extend assistance to the group of volunteers in ABS-CBN Cebu, it deeply touched me.

Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.

As of this time, the DSWD Sendong HotLine, 459 2111 is ready to receive calls for donations to victims of Typhoon sendong 24/7.  Initially, donaitons can be sent through Air21 and Mail and More outlets nationwide, while DSWD main office and the DSWD Legarda office may receive the same.  Will be sending regular update.  Air21 will handle the pick up and eventually deliver to Cagayan de Oro.  Preferred donations are Non-perishables, clothes for children and adults' blankets and towels.

Cebu's Butanding!

Yes, Cebu has whale sharks or "buntandings," too. For P100, you can swim and feed with these butandings (currently, there are 7 of them according to the local fishers). They are usually confined in the shallow portion (about 20 feet) of the seawaters of barangay Tan-awan, Oslob town (about 2 hours drive from Cebu City). You don't have to be a Scuba diver to enjoy this great adventure. Just pay the P100 fee (already inclusive of a small boat, a guide and hipon as feed), then you're all set to meet and greet the buntandings (size is from 8 meters to 20 meters). So far, the place has already attracted hundreds of people from all over the province and as far as Negros. For those who are interested to see the place, just private message me. ;)

Proud Cebuana

If I have to live a life all over again and if I have a choice; I'd still choose to be a Cebuana.  There's just no place like home; no place like Cebu!

Special thanks to  mychaelalfon for sharing a wonderful talent by putting all things together.  This effort is truly marvelous.

In most of my travels, I'd say Cebu is still one of the best to explore.  From North to South, there are countless spots one need to see and explore.

Somewhere South-West lies a "Lagkaw"; I felt the time stopped for a moment as we enjoyed our sight.  That moment I wished life to be still, fair and clear. (Asturias Cebu Philippines)

As we continue our journey we had to stop several times.  To do it will be fain for as long as the sun continues to secure us from storms.  Somewhere up North this sight is wonderful to behold.  

(Medellin Cebu Philippines)

On and on we went 'til we reached the shores of Matutinao, Badian Cebu.  It was low tide that time, so we had fun collecting sea shells.

And somewhere in Mactan Island Cebu, I spotted this fishing boat. No longer servinh its purpose as it's now for commercial use.  They use this to transport people to the other Island called Olango (the Bird Sanctuary of Cebu).

East-West, North-South there are stories to share.  I shared a bit of mine, what's yours?

Famous Cebuano Icon of the Day: Annabelle Rama

This Cebuana beauty proved to the "madlang people" that Cebuanos have strong sense of disposition and will on any matter.  As they say she is the type who never retreats (walang uurungan) on anybody.

The mom of the famous beauty queen-actress-host Ruffa Gutierrez is currently involved in another case filed against her by actress Nadia Montenegro.  

Where this case will lead to, positively she still has her families support.  Good luck, Annabelle!
