My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

    What happened at the part-time job.....



    EDSA had no traffic since it's Easter Sunday and most people went home to their own provinces. I, on the other hand, had no province but just Metro Manila, I enjoy travel the best on this times, because the road traffic is like as if I'm in the provinces. We got there 3 hours before the time in and met with our contact person.





    It was my first time to visit Crowne Plaza and my excitement is the same as the kids on Easter Egg Hunt, we had a designated stall and seats for the promotion of the products and I was glad to meet a new cosplayer friend, Ms. Geneva.




    The shift hasn't started yet but so many kids lined up to try the product already, a free trial was done to each kid wanting to get an edgy color for their hair.




    I had brought my stencil and did this, gold was the best for the black hair because the color pops.





    I explored further in the hotel where I found a main hall for the event and damn it was bigger than I thought and fancier.



    What I enjoyed most is the photobooth and gone 2 times before and after the shift.

    Mascots visit the hall from time to time and kids loved to take pictures with them.


    The shift is 1:00-3:00 pm and we cleaned up after. I enjoyed the day of my odd-job, it was truly rewarding as we discovered so many important things that I would want to show you soon....





    Hope you all enjoy reading and don't forget to follow for future posts :)

    It is crucial that you select a weaving technique that isn't by itself causing harm to your hair. If you would like hair to develop and become restored to some healthy condition, it's suggested you apply the stitched-in approach to weaving instead of the glue-in or clip-in methods. The sew-in method reduces pulling and tugging from the hair and damage from chemicals in connecting glues.
    Prior to hair weaved, you can start considering having your natural hair extensions to some healthy condition. Getting a few herbal treatments and deep conditioning within the days prior to hair done is important. About two to three days prior to, hair weaved is good. Perform a herbal treatment about 6-8 days apart or once per week. Among herbal, treatments make use of a sulfate free, paraben free shampoo, along with a hydrating deep conditioner. Should you pre-poo, a couple of days before sewing inside your weave, you are able to substitute your herbal strategy to a pre-poo. After pre-pooing, make use of a sulfate and paraben shampoo, adopted with a deep hydrating or perhaps a moisturizing conditioner or perhaps a departing conditioner. At the time you're investing in you weave, make certain hair is fully moisturized.


    Make use of a moisturizing lotion as well as oil to lubricate and moisturize remaining hair head. This helps alleviate a few of the dryness and brittleness that induce further breakage while putting on extensions. For those who have oily hair, it's suggested that you simply wash hair and extensions at least one time per week. For those who have very dry hair, you'll be able to go longer. Should you exercise or do other pursuits for example running or swimming, you might want to wash more often than once per week. Any time you wash, you should use a deep conditioner or moisturizing conditioner for your natural hair. Still moisturize your scalp following a wash as well as in between washes over the existence of the weave. It's not suggested putting on your weave past three several weeks, to prevent new growth from becoming twisted and knotted. Once extensions are removed, you will need to repeat all of the steps you required having your hair weaveready within the 2-3 days before you apply your weave.
    If you're planning to complete another weave consecutive, it's suggested that you simply alter the style. For instance, should you have had a middle part you might like to consider carrying out a side part next time. This gives your 'leave- out' (section of natural hair, usually in-front that's overlooked to match hair extension) a rest and lower breakage from the omit. These easy steps will make sure the healthiness of your scalp and natural hair while putting on extensions. The healthier your natural locks are, the less breakage you'll have and also the more hair will grow.

    My Favorite anime poster collection from early 2000 and up. 


    Back then, the most favorite thing I do was to collect different pictures of my favorite anime series printed out on the white sheet of cardboard priced around P5.00 to P10.00 depending on the size.

    They sell them outside our school and with just a limited budget of P20.00 a day, I would bring bento so as not to spend it on food and spend 30 minutes choosing between a wide selection of posters.

    The sellers would sometimes get annoyed as to how long I stare at the posters and taking only a few that my money can afford.

    Surprisingly, when my school budget went higher, this collection craze continued. I was gifted with more than posters by my friends like cassette tapes, CDs, figma and many more but I still look for posters to collect. 
     

    I definitely have no explanation as to why I love them so much. The second collection was texts or a wallet size picture of anime and I had a chest full of it, unfortunately, due to flood they did not survive. 

    I had all the posters up on a huge wall like a gallery and yeah someone would complain as to how weird and dizzy the pictures are in their eyes but I did not care. I am happy to channel my inner moe and see my favorites by the moment I open my eyes and close them. 

    Later I had realized that I am taken in by the how artistic anime was made by their creators, the main reason why I always look for the rare ones only.

    I was also bullied for liking anime, believing and sometimes making my own story versions of them. It was a tough childhood that I am still experiencing until now, people back then we're not acquainted with Anime and they feel that it's like cartoons. Now, most people have known about it yet they bully faithful fans for many reasons. It's an unending struggle that I imagine fighting until my hair turns to gray. 

    Guess what, after years of struggle of Moe's like me, I see them become a unique individual compared to other people, their wide imagination made all the dream technologies, events came to life. Although I can imagine the struggle they have to overcome, whenever I see a dreamer my support is all out. I also see others support as well but they do so in a discreet manner which is great too.

    The point is it's the ERA where dreams come true. 

    Now's a perfect time. Not tomorrow. Not later.

    When I first started ReshaDollyPrincess, it was a continuation of a blog from a former blogging website that had closed up, it became a blank slate to start expressing my thoughts and adventures for passion-driven individuals like me.

    I shared mostly anything under the sun, my favorite was keeping a good journal of my self-photography.

    My childhood dreams finally became true when I was able to finally make costumes of my own and cosplay my favorite anime characters. I was such a reserved person at that time that I could only take photographs in our own house.

    As years pass by, I meet with people from all around the world and they were interested to get promotions for their event or products with my name, the first time my blog went to .com was the first landmark of this blog to turn into a business.

    I never really thought it would be a business since I only started with my usual fun journal, but when opportunity strikes, I never missed the chance to grab it and because of that ReshaDollyPrincess wouldn't be the same as it was until today.

    For years, I would do a lot of collaborations with different brands and companies but never did I thought of advertising them on my own page for easier accessibility. I regret that big time, but now I'm happy that I was able to do it. I was able to find a good reference for a Collaboration page where all brands or partnerships can easily fill in their forms for my selected collaboration requests.

    I placed links on the navigation menu and also on a drop down at Collaboration tab. The links navigate thru my Collaborations page where you will be able to read my Collaboration selections and fill up a form to get all the details done.

    Choose your own form of Payment and budget

    I indicated a box to type your budget range so you can input your own. My Brand Ambassadress collaboration is per negotiation, same as other options. I accept forms of payment including monetary, gift items, experience, training and so on.

    • Sponsored Blog Post
    • Product Review
    • Sponsored Social Post
    • Brand Ambassador
    • Guest blogging
    • Professional Cosplayer

    You may select among those on the form and leave a few details of what would be your target goals going to be.

    I also added a Disclosure on my right side panel to navigate to collaborations tab. It's my mini privacy policy for the page. 

    Even though the page was just published, I already had worked with many brands before. I would be welcoming to partner up with you if there'd be any product or event that you'd want to promote. 

    As you may see, my strengths lie on my favorite anime, cosplay, fashion or events promotion. I even do accept going thru training, if you're offering services.

    Target Audience

    This is a great way to get a good organic exposure for your brand. I'm in a good circle of companionships with audiences from the healthcare industry, arts & animation industry, cosplay industry, international friends with CEOs, Audience with page Admins on Facebook and many more. Even one of this circle contains more than 50k viewers and visitors. 


    Reach out

    We only need a good chat and a cup of good tea. Just a metaphor, but connecting thru my email is the best suitable for this option. Although, I'm welcome to answer your questions on Facebook Messenger too.

    Feel free to reach out to me and I'll reply back to you. 

    Use this link to navigate thru my collaborations page and let's partner up!

    Today I'll be telling you the story of reshadaseamaiden. That name was my long-time email, since high school time around 2004. It was going to be the name of my website but I chose a different name of ReshaDollyPrincess. So I thought that my dreams could never come true, a message of invitation by Ms. Leomy surprised me, she asked if I wanted to attend a free mermaid course with Ms. Amarie. I agreed immediately when I received the message and was left completely stunned, I feel so excited that my dreams are coming for real one by one. It's all thanks to her.






    The location was set in Cavite City Sangley base which I have never been to. The schedule was to go for 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. We got lost along the way when we asked some people which bus to take to get to Cavite City, we were pointed out a wrong bus, after several tries we ended up getting into a cute old fashion baby bus, I got very excited to try it because it was my first time.

    Cute Baby Bus first time seeing in Cavite 
    How excited I am to take a selfie in the baby bus

     Seats were arranged in a bus fashion but driver's seat looked so much like jeepney.





    Ms. Amarie told us to wait at Mcdonalds Ronquillo. Where we met with Ms. Valerie, one of our co-mermaid bloggers. We got into the Sangley base easily thanks to Ms. Amarie.



    When we arrived, we started at 1:00 pm. She oriented about the coverage of the mermaid class.

    MERMAID CLASS 101



    One: How to Look like a mermaid
    Two: How to swim like a mermaid
    Three: How to pose like a mermaid

    How to look like a mermaid


    Ms. Amarie showed us her newest craft mermaid crown made out of shells and two crowns she shared for us.












    For my own look, I went pearl hunting via mom's closet and she handed me precious white pearls. and shell earrings.

    My hair was magically arranged by water. I'm not kidding. When we had the orientation and exercises earlier my hair dried up to curls and I'm also surprised as to how it looked beautiful, so my hairstylist would be water. Ms. Amarie pinned just the front side of my hair so my earrings would show. Thank you.




    She then laid out her mermaid tails. She gave the kid size tail because it's the one that fits me best. I chuckled because even my clothes are from the kid's section. It was literally the perfect fit yet I needed more adjustments because it always looses off my feet while on water.

    She had us done warm-up exercises and measured our breathing by using a timer. She also gave us a good hint how to get more air to stay breathless longer.


    Inhale short and exhale longer.

    Warm up stretching of muscles are a great way to start, but a little difficult for a computer chair potato like me, I felt a good stretch and better circulation when we're performing this, intensity would vary to each person to person.

    Mermaid tails vary, you can see those that they sell online made out of polyester fabric, nylon, and handmade silicon. You may ask where to purchase those to Ms. Amarie or Ms. Gennie as they have great ideas where to find a perfect tail for you.

    How to Swim like a mermaid


    Swimming like a mermaid is all different to a usual swim taught to me at my Alma matter FEU. In here, both feet feel like it's been tied up together and you'll cooperate with the water to propel and create fluid movements.

    It is important to wear socks for the flippers. It will protect your feet from scratch and help you propel better.


    Ms. Amarie partnered up with me and taught me the basics of mermaid swim.



    While Ms. Valerie was taught by Mermaid Gennie.


    And going underwater, she tossed the coin, let it sink and I had to pick it up but in fluid graceful movements.


    I had a hard time staying underwater because my cardio has been down for many years, plus my feet must kick together and not separately which is all brand new to my senses there are often times I had fear of drowning. It's a hidden fear I found out till later when we got to shallow waters of 8 feet deep, plus going down creates so much pressure in my lungs which I haven't developed since last competition.



    How to pose like mermaid


    Posing underwater is a fun way to create great memories of mermaiding experiences, but it's not very easy to do, you'll need to hold your breath much longer and make sure to get your best poses composed. 

    Ms. Amarie taught me basic poses including a fly kiss underwater and forming the heart shape with hands which I did with fingers!

    Hehehe

    Anyway, I enjoyed everything and after that, we took some videos and photos in our tails.
    Mermaid sushi


    We finally were able to go home through a short ride with Ms. Valerie's car up to Mcdonald's Ronquillo and we rode a van proceeded to MOA, thankfully the ride was fast and we got home easily.
    According to Ms. Amarie, classes normal span time is for 5 days 2 hours each day but she compresses them into the hours that we only have to get everything covered up.

    I lost my voice



    After the swim, I felt like the little mermaid in real life when I lost my voice due to tonsillitis and my muscle aches because I never do any regular exercise, but since I enjoyed every moment I had experienced, I recovered immediately to produce this blog. 


    Ms. Amarie's question after the session struck me:

    What was your take away from this course:

    The question was very simple but for me, I have felt to appreciate such beauty of this art is and even though it was just a dream before it is real to me now.

    Thank you to Ms. Leo and Ms. Amarie.




    There is so much more to this art than the graceful movements of a beautiful maiden in the sea and I hope you can experience it too.

    By the way, a great footage of my swim is shared in Ms. Amaries Merswim 101 page, you may want to check it out too.

    Lesson Learned

    the lesson I learned is to still practice the usual bubbling exercises underwater.  If you know the basics of swimming breathing exercises and don't push yourself too hard just enjoy the water and your tail. Mermaiding takes time and dedication.  I also learned that I am better without any goggles because it helps me express my emotions underwater. It's just my preference, this is dependent on you.
