DIY Ombre hair

     The french-termed hair trend is called Ombre. The ombre hair refers to a hair style with dark roots fading to light colors at the end.It has been a trend to most of Hollywood actresses like Chanel Iman, Jennifer Hudson, Naomi Campbell, Raven-Symone.  I tried to do an ombre hair style to myself and here's a tutorial for you guys. Here is a normal ombre;

      So I tried a bolder ombre for me I want some shades of red to my hair. First move is to make sure you have strong hair, by strong hair what I mean is that your hair should not be damaged or just gone to hair coloring and some hair stuffs. And if you are not sure doing this to yourself better visit the salon near you. Having ombre at salon may cost you around 3000.00 pesos and above. By doing it to yourself may cost around 500.00 to 1000.00 pesos only. Big savings huh? Here are the list of the things you need:

A rainy afternoon

Its 10:00 in the morning and I feel sleepy because of the weather. There's another storm in the country, luckily not that strong. I was staring at the window mesmerized by the raindrops that falls from the sky. Then I saw the flowers at our garden some of it fell because of the heavy rain. I suddenly felt the urge to take some pictures of the beautiful flowers. I felt that the plants are sad because of the rain.....

          After an hour or so the rain stopped. I can see the the sun peeping through the sky. Then I thought the plants are not sad during the rain 'coz it also need some water to live. It gives them energy and food to produce more gorgeous flowers.

Kalachuchi or Temple flower

 Kalachuchi is used as a fresh floral necklace or bracelet in many beaches here in the Philippines. It is a simple plant that can be seen in many gardens in the country. We have like 8 pots of Kalachuchi in our garden. I also love plants I do some gardening if I'm not busy, some of the Kalachuchi was planted by my grandmother so I really take care of them. Its like a remembrance from my grandma.

Euphorbia

   Don't exactly know what species of Euphorbia this is. But it is so pretty. This one is colored pink with strikes of yellow. They are a dangerous plant if you mishandled this. They have thorns and a milky sap, when your planting this you should wear protective gloves. My grandma said that they don't love waters, they only need enough water to live. Rainy weather reminds me of many things just like my grandma. AS the saying says "There is always a rainbow after the rain." 

Places to visit in Tagaytay

If you are planning on visiting Tagaytay best is bring a car, there are few jeepneys in tagaytay so it is difficult to commute.Tagaytay is best for family bonding.

​

First you may visit People's Park in the Sky.

 

      This place was formerly known as Palace in the sky. This was built by former president Marcos for President Ronald Regan and his first lady for their visit in the Philippines. Unfortunately, it was not finished because of political issues during that time. Now, it has become a tourist spot in Tagaytay. It is the highest peak in Tagaytay with the a beautiful view of Taal lake, Laguna de bay and the whole Tagaytay City.



Trek/Horse ride to Taal Volcano main crater

    So this happened April of 2011. I know it is late, but i still wanna share my adventure to Taal's crater.

     At that time we don't really have plans on going to the crater we just wanna chill at Tagaytay. We planned to eat our lunch at picnic groove but when we arrived  the place is crowded there are many people at that time so we don't have place to stay or eat that is when a guy approached us and he ask my mom if we want to see the crater of the volcano. I was thrilled with what I heard, we all agreed to have an adventure and avail the package the guy was offering us.  We took our lunch at the resort (I forgot the name of that place) then rest for a while and we rode a boat going to the bottom of the Taal volcano.
