Panacea
Replenishes and brings life
Selfish intake brings overdose
Faster blood rushes through veins
Such a high it brings.
Sends me flying from within
One potent drug
Sends me flying from within
One potent drug
Took a dose to find a cure,
A solution to pain and illness,
A solution to pain and illness,
But adverse effects you have...
Gives me lows but with incomparable highs.
Something that weakens
Yet strengthens my insides.
Yet strengthens my insides.
Effects overwhelming
Moment needed to take it all in.
Moment needed to take it all in.
Never thought I'd ever find.
Breaks down internal defense
Majority of who and what you are,
A perfect sync to my system.
The odds were in favor
Given from a Supreme power.
Given from a Supreme power.
Cure me from the diseases
Infections of the past.
Infections of the past.
A way to heal my heart.
Lose despair, apathy and distrust.
Best drug no doubt
You, I have found.
You, I have found.

My Declutter Project
Being part of Binibining Pilipinas 2013 was quite hectic and so I ended up with a bunch of clutter. I did not want to wait for New Year to start clearing things out so I decided to start my declutter project.
Why declutter?
I have always believed in the Japanese organization method of 5S that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. The 5S phases are sorting, setting in order, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining.
When you have less stuff, things are a lot simpler. Imagine the time and energy you save trying to find things.
Getting Started
Starting a project is always difficult. You have to focus on one area at a time, you can't go on a de-cluttering rampage! I chose to start with beauty products since I use it daily and it's the easiest to declutter.
DAY I Vanity Shelf
As we grow up we end up using more products since our skin is more sensitive and we simply just become more. I never thought I would have this much because I basically did not care about how I look until after college. I was never fond of using make-up but then during the pageant we got a lot of free stuffs from Avon. I have never owned this much make-up in my entire life imagine getting 11 lippies in one day. Quite insane. Some of the products I got were already given to friends but I still have a number that I use. Along with that I also received a bunch of skincare and beauty products from my ever loving mama so I decided to start with organizing and checking everything.
1. Check all the products for expiry dates. Not all of us might be aware about the shelf life of our make-up so here is a simple guide.
Tip: Write the date on the product when you open it so you’ll know when it’s time to throw it away.
You don't need a gazillion of make-up to make yourself beautiful, you just need the right ones.
2. Sort products accordingly. I segregated my products based on the area I use it for like face, lips, eyes, hair, nails and body.
Day I was not as difficult to do. Will update you on my day 2 which is one of the most dreaded thing any woman can face... Day 2 Wardrobe
Start you own project now!

Have a strong why

Check off your successes as you go.
