Holy Week '12

No, I didn't go out of town nor did I spend my Holy Week in a beach or resort... I spent it the way it should be: in the church, praying. It may not be as extravagant as yours, but this year's Semana Santa is special for me 'cause I spent it with God and with the best people on earth, my family. My titas, titos and cousins came over to celebrate Good Friday and Black Saturday with us. We had a seafood feast on both days, which is still appropriate 'cause we didn't eat any meat. Overall, my Holy Week was a happy and meaningful one.

Here's my week in photos. Didn't take much because a) I was busy enjoying b) laziness took over me.

Mom's bday in Padis.

My brother feel asleep in the luggage. Bwahaha. Uploaded the photostrip in FB.

Sweeet!

Kayenne's nail art by yours truly :D

Warm blue polish on my nails.

Hahahaha! The best score I had. I suck, I know. :P

P.S. Sorry for the low-quality photos, iTouch camera sucks.

How to: Hair Bleaching

MIGI and I had just discovered how to bleach hair in 5 easy steps. Here's how:

1. Prepare the materials/equipment

   - Bleaching powder

   - 12% oxidizing lotion/solution

Both were bought in HBC. Just mix the powder and solution in bowl and mix thoroughly.

- Mixing bowl

- Brush/comb

- Personal protective equipment (goggles, mask, gloves)

Since I have no available PPEs at the moment, I tried to be resourceful and used nerd glasses as goggles and a shower band as mask.

2. Prepare hair.

Since my brother has curly hair, I ironed it first for easier bleach application.

3. Apply the bleaching solution on hair.

I don't know the proper way to apply the solution but what I did was to cover the entire hair tips first then the roots.

4. Wait for 15-20 minutes or until desired hair color is achieved. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Never mind the 4 previous steps I mentioned. Go straight to the salon if you don't want your hair to look like this:

Hahahaha. It was a disaster! I don't know if it's just because my brother's hair is just unevenly colored to start with or because I didn't apply the solution evenly. Either way, the damage is done.

The next day, this is what he looks like: Rooster hair. Lol!

P.S. Sorry for the low-quality photos, took the first 5 photos with the iTouch.
