“Your feelings are valid. You have every right to feel whatever emotion you want. You aren’t being dramatic. You aren’t over exaggerating. You’re feeling. And that’s okay.”

Good Old Days

Five years ago I always carry these words with me: Dreamer, Dancer, and Live, Love & Laugh. I was called “ the tumblr girl” back in my HS days.It’s  not because I use tumblr all the time or what I look like but how I act on life. I was so care free. All i think about  is what will be my IG theme,my next IG worthy post, have good grades so that my parents won’t stop me from my #1 passion which is dancing and I was like “I can do it all(in my head only eheh)” just name it ballet,contemp, jazz etc. Felt like I’m unbreakable / soaring eagle every time I’m on stage. Since I was a devoted dancer I was really body conscious.Never heard of Keto Diet back then but who knew I was a fan! Doing 100 crunches/situps before bedtime and even wearing a damn binder while sleeping. Hoola-hoops for 30mins was the best! lmao I don’t wanna brag or something but I’m proud and I’m willing to do anything just to get my body back or my discipline.  Mehn I’M 20 and this body has been through lot’s of mental/physical changes and is currently suffering from sugar addiction and can’t live without carbs. Weekend road trips with my  friends are always obligatory.When I say  friends, they are those real ones who are willing to wait tho hungry until i have the “perfect” picture. Ootds that are worn only twice the least.Fan-girling /stalking our idols at school.Practicing yells and cheers with my batch mates ‘til we lose our voices and drain our bodies(we perform stunts tho we’re all girls!cool right?!).Bunch of dance and chorale competitions. Cinemas + Taters/zagu/potato corner (jumbo w/ a mountain of powder) + friends/fam  =heaven. and end it at World of Fun/Quantum and bump-cars! Listening and sharing music through Bluetooth or have it copied on your memory card and spending  lots of time making a perfect playlist.And Oh those group messages! those embarrassing  gm’s I wished I haven’t.Unfinished famous books cause this gurl got no time which I regretted.Breakfasts before school and wholesome family dinner which we don’t practice anymore because of our fucked up schedules. AND A LOT MORE!

I’m turning 21 and still figuring out the great “WHAT’S NEXT?” in life.

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I’m not a trained artist, I couldn’t sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.Yay! It’s finally done but made a lot of mistakes tho.Not bad for a beginner I guess. 👍

“10 Reasons Lemon Juice Is Good For Your Health”

Prevent kidney stones: Drinking one half-cup of lemon juice every day raises citrate levels in the urine. Studies have shown that this could protect against calcium stones in the kidney.

Soothe a sore throat: Mixing lemon juice with honey can help alleviate the discomfort that comes from a nasty sore throat.

Support weight loss: Beyond the old notion that the Master Cleanse was the only way lemons could help you lose weight, new studies have shown the ways lemon juice supports your goals. Lemon juice contains pectin, a soluble fiber that has been shown to aid in weight-loss struggles.

Start your day right: Leave caffeinated drinks behind, and start your day off with hot water and fresh lemon juice to stimulate your digestive track and add vitamin C.

Stop an itch: When it comes to poison ivy or insect bites, rubbing lemon juice on the area can soothe the skin, since it has anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effects.

Aids in digestion: Dr. Oz is a big believer in the power of lemon juice for weight loss. He suggests drinking a mixture of lemon juice and flaxseeds in order to eliminate waste more quickly from your body.

Anticancer properties: Studies have supported the anticancer activity of citrus liminoids, compounds that protect your cells from damage that can lead to the formation of cancer cells.

Potassium power: Bananas aren’t the only way to get a big helping of potassium in your system. In addition to vitamin C, lemons offer 80 milligrams of this mineral that helps your body stay strong and nimble.

Bring down a fever: Forget the days of starving a fever! When your temperature goes up, drinking a lemon juice mixture can help bring your fever down faster.

Balance pH: While lemons may seem quite acidic, they’re a surprisingly good source of an alkaline food that can help balance your body’s pH.
