Muzic’s Kool’s Kanta Kwento: Heartfelt and Soulful

Written by louiseinthehouse on March 15, 2015

Love, joy, inspiration, longing, assumption, unforgiveness, brokenness, frustration, annoyance, desperation, faith, assurance, hope, and renewal. These are some of the varied experiences that inspired the artist to create songs to capture the drama of human emotions. “Kanta-Kwento” is an album that verbalized the different sentiments, random thoughts, and feelings that could not be simply said in our casual face-to-face conversations with the people involved in our lives. “Kanta-Kwento” mirrors the humans being fully engaged with life. It is an artist’s subtle self-assurance that life goes on and one has to keep moving on, learning from the experiences and picking up the pieces to begin a new story. This emotion-packed musical collaboration is a reflection of the unique creativity of some of Davao’s emerging homegrown musicians. All songs were composed by Jeremy Sarmiento, with music skillfully arranged by Jonathan Ferrero, Jr. and Paolo Sisi. These are nicely interpreted by both budding and known singers and musicians […]

My Skin Origins’ Scar Remover

Written by louiseinthehouse on February 27, 2015

Remembering my childhood days, I used to have a lot of little round scars on my legs due to insect bites, and of course from the wounds one would usually get as a kid ( I was super clumsy then!) . And before, I only had the good old sebo de macho (skin emollient known to erase scars) to cling to, which I religiously applied on these scars. However, the downside is, scars only lightened a little and it takes a lot of time for scars to be totally invisible on the skin, if it will. Fast forward to today, I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews on this award-winning product of My Skin Origins, the Scar Remover. This is specially formulated to reduce and diminish the appearance of scars. A lot of its users swear with this soothing cream which is enriched with the botanical ingredients such as Macadamia Ternofilia Seed […]
