When in Zambales - Releasing Sea Turtles at PawiCare Hatchery



I joined a school field trip a few weeks back not knowing what exactly to expect. The class was all about Legal Ethics but this educational trip was focused mainly on Environmental Ethics. All I know is that we were scheduled to release sea turtles or pawikans. Little did I know that this experience would become one of the most meaningful in my life.

PawiCare Hatchery at San Narciso, Zambales

We visited several places at San Antonio and San Narciso at Zambales, such as Casa San Miguel and Hiyas ng Kalikasan, before heading to Pawicare. We arrived at Brgy. La Paz at San Narciso a little after 4 in the afternoon. We then had an orientation about PawiCare and sea turtles. We were also informed about safety reminders in handling the baby sea turtles or hatchlings.

Last Minute Summer Outing Shopping Tips



It is pretty clear with the frequent rains visiting us everyday that summer's coming to an end. I am pretty sure that you all have a one last summer outing in your mind because I sure do. One trip to the beach during the summer to catch the waves or lounge in the sand is never enough. More often than not, these trips do not go through serious planning. Thus, we always find ourselves hastening in getting prepared.


There are some essentials that we need (or want) when it comes to summer outings. I always find myself browsing through online shops and searching for a new bikini every time I have a trip. Who has the time to go to the mall anyways? Nevertheless, I always end up using old ones because there aren't good deals online unless I have some Zalora shopping vouchers readily available. The other week, my sister was in a hurry to buy a tent for an impromptu camping trip. Since there aren't much choice in the mall, she ended up renting a costly one.

The Face Shop Jeju Aloe 99% Fresh Soothing Gel Review



A few months back, I started taking facial skincare seriously. It started with sunblocks, then day and night moisturizers, then eye creams and gels, although I am still looking forward to adding masks, toners, or scrubs in my skincare routine. Prior to trying out The Face Shop Jeju Aloe 99% Fresh Soothing Gel, I was using a cream based day moisturizer but I find it too thick for Manila's boiling weather. After seeing good feedback about aloe gels in general, I finally decided to get one. I was planning to buy an Aloe Vera Gel in a tub container from Althea and actually regretted not getting one. Luckily I went to a The Face Shop stall at Century City Mall and found out that they have it in a tube container. It has the same amount of contents and has the same price of P199 for a 300ml tube/tub.

The Face Shop Jeju Aloe 99% Fresh Soothing Gel Review

I am not really particular when it comes to the skin care products that I put in my face, that is, I don't really pay attention to the brand. As long as it keeps my skin clear and it is affordable, I am willing to give it a try. I didn't have high expectations with The Face Shop Jeju Aloe 99% Fresh Soothing Gel but it definitely amazed me! As regards the price, each tube/tub is affordable! Since I only use it on my face and a little amount of product goes a long way, I think one tube could last at least half a year. No need to worry about the product expiring quickly because I got mine this year and it is due to expire on 2018.
