Summer is fast approaching in this part of the world. I could feel the scorching heat, as the sun kisses my light brown skin.

I picture myself basking in beaches, sun-bathing and having lots of picnics. Hmmm... I wonder where that brimmed hat is... Do you have any plans this coming summer??

I know that as much as the sun does wonders, excessive exposure may also cause damage to our largest organ.

So, do you have any tips to share to protect one's skin, aside from using sunblock and sunscreen lotions with SPF?

    lioness- All of my plans are in the summer, I love it.
     
    Other than what you mentioned for sun protection, clothing that covers is all I know of. I wear long sleeve shirts year around and found I might be cooler than with short sleeve. We have little humidity here, maybe that's why.
  • Lioness said on Mar 06, 2007....
    Hi beyond, I love summer too!! (Although our weather here is mostly humid) =) Hmmm... long sleeve shirts, nice idea! thanks!
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 06, 2007....
    since i have fair skin, I'm very much afraid of the sun LOL. just kidding.

    I usually use sunblock, not to be confused with coppertone or I will look like a lechon! LOL.

    I usually wear long sleeved shirts, which is so thin btw, just to protect my skin. I also wear dark eyeglasses, aside from adding to the over all look, it gives protection to my chinita eyes!

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 06, 2007....
    hi dazed! I agree, shades do give an impact on one's overall looks! Especially if it fits the facial shape. Nice accessory! =)

    ok, sunblock and long sleeved shirts for the arms.. (How about the legs?)


  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 06, 2007....
    ahem. I dunno. well, its not really protection, but before I expose my legs of mine, I make sure that they are nicely waxed, in my case, applied veet on it, so as to avoid those hairy legs. well, might as well expose those nice legs of ours! :D

    Cheers.

    wish we could go to boracay this year!! anyway i have my ojt this summer so i guess i'll be doing that! and my aunt from the US will be visiting so i'm excited for my summer!!!
    and oh i'm going to cebu for one week because we have a plant visit there..
  • silverwhisper said on Mar 06, 2007....
    honestly, i do not. i tend to take color very quickly and hold it forever, but don't generally get burnt.

  • Lioness said on Mar 06, 2007....
    dazed: waxed legs? wow, smooth and silky! =) I don't shave though...

    queen: boracay?! that place is a piece of heaven. =)  OJT this summer would indeed keep you busy, there's always a next time. =)

    ed: women tend to be too vain about their looks. haha...
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 06, 2007....
    I don't wax too much. i use veet though. You should see my legs girl LOL. just kidding!

    Wow, I wish I could get away from work and go to Bora. Oh well, I'll probably settle with a resort in Quezon province.

    I do agree, women tend to be too vain! Count me in!

    Cheers!

  • Lioness said on Mar 06, 2007....
    Awww dazed, I know you have those sexy legs! It's okay to flaunt =)

    Quezon has its own tourist attractions, right??

    Haha, I am one of them too.....
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 06, 2007....
    hahaha... yup Quezon province has a lot of tourist attractions. My sister was actually asking me if I could file a leave in May to attend the Mardi Gras. Hooray!

    hahah.... My legs sexy? I don't know.... probably... Just kidding. They do however, have effects on men. LOL.

    Cheers.
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Wow, I hope one day I'd be able to visit that place. It pays to be a tourist in my own country before I go abroad (as if I had the chance,....lol).

    Mardi Gras.. haven't witnessed that festival in person yet. So, are you taking a leave of absence? =)

    Ok, so let the reactions of men speak for itself. Hahaha...  Thanks dazed...
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    of course, it is nice to travel once in a while, well, if you have the bucks to spare that is! In my case, I'm just a poor programmer LOL. anybody want to treat me to a vacation...{{ahem, batting eyelids to Lioness}} LOL

    I'm still gonna decide if we will push through with the Mardi Gras. Have you heard of the Pahiyas Festival? That is in our province...Its one hell of a feast!

    Men have a tendency to stare long and hard towards my legs. I don't know why. I tried staring at my legs myself. LOL. Nothing happened LOL. just kidding.

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Yeah, I agree, I love travelling. By land, boat or water, boy, Lioness would not refuse. Ok, I'll find us a sponsor for the vacation. Hahaha...

    I've heard about it, but I don't really know what it is all about... I'd love to watch festivals, it shows the rich cultural heritage of the province and of course.... attend feasts.

    Hmmm... seems like I am talking with a mermaid here. lol Hint: don't stare at it, pour water or is it rub the shell! hahaha..
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I love eating at those feasts!!! LOL. Just kidding...

     Yup I also love to travel. Maybe you could ask some DOM there to sponsor us... I'll do the negotiations for us... bat an eyelid here, touch somewhere there... LOL. Just kidding.

    Mermaid? More like the "ibong adarna" :D hahaha...

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Eating? Me too! With all the lechon and the kakanin.. geez, goodbye diet! lol

    DOM coming right up! (parang order sa KFC huh).

    Hmmm... Pati ibon, vain. LOL Kung ibon ka, di mo makikita ang legs mo! Sige, ostrich (ngeh, haba ng leeg at hita!)


  • queenparanoia said on Mar 07, 2007....
    wow dazed sounds like fun...
     
    anyway wouldn't be interesting if well soulcaster go to a resort or something??? that would be fun..
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    oo goodbye diet nga. tapos singlaki ng batya ang kanin!

    oo nga eh parang umuorder lang. :D hahah... o baka naman offeran ako nyan ng apartment at cellphone ha! :D yoko nga...

    I remember one guy asking me, if I wanted a one night stand. hahahah... sabi ko I don't want to. Thanks na lang!

    Hi queen! yup it would be quite interesting we can all go to a resort and have fun! LOL. That'll be the day. Hiya naman ako, baka makita nyo ako in person. :D Sabihin nyo nagfefeeling maganda na naman ako :D LOL

    Cheers
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Queen, that would be fun, SoulCast sponsoring an all-expense-paid trip and vacation package for all interested SoulCasters! hahahaha... Ano ba yan, ang isip nasa summer vacation....

    Naku ha, kaunti pa lang yang batya, baka 12 ang kakain dun... lol

    Wag nang apartment, House and Lot, with car na lang plus credit card!!!wala nang much negotiations nun, aprub agad. Hahaha...

    Hay naku, ok lang yang magkita-kita in person, tapos ipa-erase na lang ang memory natin para walang naaalala (robot?) ehehhehe
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    hahaha... parang yung movie na Paycheck noh! :D

    hmmm....pwede rin! bat di ko naisip n yun ang idemand! Sayang!!! LOL. hahaha... dapat yung credit card 100k ang credit limit.

    For Sale/For Rent: dazed... A nicely groomed Filipina,not to mention she smells pretty good, with dark eyes and brown locks. A knowledgeable programmer and has expressive eyes to go with it! LOL. {{ so much for being humble}}
    ibenta daw ba ang sarili! Ang maniwala... ewan!

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Tama, 100K, no bodyguards, and no strings attached. whoahhhh!!!!! Wala pa me offer na ganyan eh.. before, I had a super crush na guy, married na pala siya, imagine, ibabahay daw ako! Whoah! Bakit ba di tayo gumawa ng post about the men in our lives??? Ay ako na lang pala, kasi nagawa mo na yun...

    Wow, magandang ad yan ha.. Teka, tumatakbo ka ba? Pagkamalan bang politiko! Hahaha...
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    hahahha :D oo nga Lioness bakit hindi ka gumawa ng post na ganun! :D hahah.... ibahay ka daw ba? Tlagang whoa?!

    actually marami pang kulang dun sa post ko. I actually had a "black book" back in college. I think I misplaced that book. Hahhah... Contains all the phone numbers/emails/descriptions of past guys in my life. Bad girl!

    hahaha... pwede rin. Just in time for the elections! :D tamang tama, my dad was a politician, baka pwedeng gamitin yung connections ko! LOL

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    dazed, kagagawa ko lang....

    black book? whoah!!wala me non....*evil grin*


  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    hahah :D cge babasahin ko! :D

    Excited na ako! :D LOL.

    Yup, it wasn't actually black, its actually red.... And I even have a folder in my computer dedicated to past flings.... too bad it got deleted when I reformatted my PC!

    Cheers!
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    A red book! naku, buti na lang na-delete ung sa pc, kung hindi, it might be used against you. Naks, parang lawyer noh... =)
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    unfortunately, there was an incident that my ex roommates flashed that book in front of my then current beau. I was so embarrassed and angry at the same time.

    I read your latest post. I am so sorry that your tito molested you. man I couldn't imagine the things you went through, and here I am bitching about how my dad used to beat me up and lock me in the cr. I guess girls like us have to stick together right.

    Cheers.
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    They did? How inconsiderate they are.. I hope he didn't take it against you..

    Don't be sorry dazed.. It was not something to be proud of, but I am glad to have opened it up finally after soooo many years.

    It's sad. That's why I totally can relate with you when you said "smiling in the outside, but only God knows what's inside". Oo nga, we take comfort from each other, thanks for not judging me.

  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    of course. its no problem.

    no thankfully he didn't. I was relieved. However, three days after that incident, my roommates and I got into the biggest fight in the course of our friendship. We didn't talk for a couple of months. It was really hard because we stayed at the same room. I felt like a nomad, and alone. But I knew I made the right decision of defending myself.

    Yup, smiling on the outside, but there are certain things that are only on our minds. LOL. Who am I to judge a person? :P I am not a judge, I'm only a programmer. LOL. Just making you smile.

    You know, when I wrote that post of mine, about the not so good men in my lives, I was actually sad and a little embarrassed sharing those. I felt stupid and weak. But you know what, I am just glad that I let it all out. And I guess you feel the same thing too.

    I feel so pressured today. Pressured in the sense that my boss is grilling me for the damn deadline. God, as if coding isn't enough work, I need to answer several emails, and talk to another department. So many tasks, so little me....

    Feeling in the hot seat,
    dazed
  • Lioness said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Golly, I hope you'd be able to finish whatever there is to finish... (Ok, I have reports to finish, but what the heck, I need to play. Hahaha)

    Fightings are good ways to test how strong the bond in a friendship is... But for them to do silly things against you... Yeah, that was a good decision.

    Yeah, that is indeed the feeling....

    Thanks dazed, miss programmer.. =)


  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Your welcome. :D Yup, we busy girls need to play also. By the way, Rain told me that he liked me last night, and he is glad that we were able to talk a lot. I make him happy "daw". OMG. I think he is sending hints that he will court me. What am I gonna do?! I like Rain too... but I also like Jason? dang.

    Living up to my name,
