A friend had lent me a copy of The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks ... She was so amazed that I haven't read a single book of Nicholas Sparks yet ... I've seen his books around but thought they weren't any good ... However, upon the recommendation of my friend (and since his name was mentioned in Gossip Girl hehe), I decided to give it a try ...
I started reading The Notebook this morning before I even had breakfast ... And as usual, I couldn't put a good book down ... It was almost lunchtime when I finished ... I was totally engrossed in the book that I missed breakfast ...
The love story was so touching ... it had been a long time since a book had made me cry ... i had tears towards the end of the story ... perhaps because i wish I would experience the same love that Noah & Allie had ...
Great book! can't wait to read some of other Nicholas Sparks' novels ...

Scar & Brown Spot Removal
My skin had always been very sensitive ... Simple mosquito bites can really aggravate and would usually leave several marks ... they were oftentimes so unsightly that I wouldn't able to wear short sleeves shirt or shorts for a week
... I think I've tried all the Scar Removal products in the market ... Let me share with you some of those which I've tried ... as we have different skin types ... what doesn't work for me might work for you and vice versa ...
1) Sebo de Macho : The cheapest alternative. This had been the household remedy for scars since I was a kid. When I had chicken pox in my 5th year in college, this was my everyday companion while recuperating ... and surprisingly, chicken pox didn't leave me a scar even though I was already an adult when I had it ... Don't really know what is inside the small tin can of sebo de macho ... there was no ingredients listed ... it smells a bit ugh! but it really does wonders ...
2) Contractubex : Read about this in forums ... I bought it in Watson's for I think Php 200+ or 300+, can't remember ... I've tried this gel type ointment for months ... didn't really work for me ... I just don't know if I continued to use it longer if it would have worked ...
3) Colonial Dames Scar Care : This was recommended by a friend who had swore on its effectiveness ... Bought this in Guardian Pharmacy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for RM 50 (~ Php 675) ... very expensive but good for several use ... it's around 35 g ... it must be used religiously - as in 4 times per day for 2 months or until the desired result is achieved which can be up to 6 months ...
4) eRAse Diamond : Another discovery from forums ... However, didn't know where to buy this ... They said in the forums that it can be bought in SM Supermarket but wasn't able to find it ... Finally managed to get it in e-bay ... bought it for Php 320 + Php 50 for shipping ... This is what I'm currently using ... I've been trying it for 3 weeks now ... the scars are lightening a bit ... It also claims that it would also increase the skin's resistance against the effect of ultraviolet rays ...
5) Gluta Magic Lightening Solution : discovered this in Landmark while searching for eRAse ... bought it for Php 89.75 .... It seems to be working but stopped using it when I finally got hold of eRAse ... it contains vitamins and glutathione ...

Stephenie Meyer : Twilight
The son of my friend told us that there is a new author which we might like to try ... he told us that the books of Stephenie Meyer are now the rage ... never really thinking that a 13-year old taste would be the same as ours, I "googled" Stephenie Meyer ... sure enough, she's in the bestsellers list of most bookstores .... hmmmmm, looks promising ...
So, off I go to Powerbooks to check the book itself ... I readily bought "New Moon" at Php 339 ... I didn't realize that this is the Part 2 of a Series ... that I should have bought "Twilight" first ... and then there's also "Eclipse" which is the Part 3 ... and "Breaking Dawn" part 4 ...
I didn't want to start reading the Part 2, I wanted to read Twilight first ... fortunately, a friend had bought it and another friend had bought Part 3 ... we only need someone who has Breaking Dawn so that we'll have the complete Series ...
I read Twilight last Saturday, I started at 10pm and finished at around 3am! ... yup, I couldn't put the 500+ page book down ... I really finished it in one sitting (or should I say lying down! hehehe) ... Good thing I started reading it on a weekend, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on work properly! haha! ...
I didn't think that I would enjoy a book with a 17-year old protagonist! ... but indeed, Twilight has a refreshing story ... I've never really liked vampires stories ... but this one is different from the usual plots ... I love Edward! and the whole Cullen family! ... can't wait to read the "New Moon" ...
