    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. 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. Contact me at reshadollyprincess@gmail.com for collaboration

    I admit to you, it's been over a year since I feel stressed every day. These factors I can clearly state comes from work, home, and business. My body could not take it anymore and at the start of January my health declined tremendously, but I could not stop and continued on, until late last May, my health was worse. I couldn't sleep, eat or converse relevance to people. I get irritated and mad easily I am no longer functioning well. That's when my boss had decided to get me a leave for a month. 

    For a few weeks, I stayed the same and my sleep cycle is messed up but after 2 weeks I tried my best to take care of my health, I slept on time, ate healthy foods on time,then adding some exercise, health regained back slowly, but I feel that there was something missing, whenever a stressor comes, there I go again.


    Then with God's grace, there was an email notification. It was to review an app in the market and guess what the app is called FEEL STRESS FREE, I knew from that moment on God wanted to help me get back on track.


    I downloaded the app thru Google Play, only takes a few minutes to install. 


    Feel Stress Free app is developed by Thrive, it is an app that can help you manage your stress and relax in just 5 minutes!


    This app is created by psychiatrists and psychologists at Thrive, by practicing the techniques in the app, you will learn to build resilience to stresses, pressures, and anxieties life throws your way. 

    Mood selector and monitoring

    This is how the app gets to know you, once you input the needed information as shown below it will start to analyze and monitor the best techniques to help you. 

    The moment you open the app, Sound of beach waves and nature are heard for setting up the best mood.

    Sliding to towards the red part would mean gloomy and opposite side which is green is that you are happy or satisfied.
    A set of Question and answers are animated popping up inside the box if your answer is not in the box, there is an option to input your own reason.
    Once all the questions have been answered this is the technique goals of the day. 
    The app gives an analysis of your weekly mood, you'll get the statistics below of how your week has been.
    The menu will show up the Breathing exercise which I need to do according to the recommended exercises, A timer will start and it is best to get headphone and a good quiet, uninterrupted environment for optimum effectivity.

    You will hear a voice of a man/woman instructing you to breathe slowly. 

    Once done, It will congratulate you for accomplishing one goal, you can go back later to finish your goal for the day.
    There is an arrow on the lower part of the screen, when you tap it you will be able to see a paper, it is an inspirational word of the day, one of my personal favorite.

    A fun way to choose a username, I chose sweet sweet fox inspired by my cosplay, Cinematic Ahri.

    You can send the message in the bottle!
    A Zen garden is an interesting activity where you get to build sandcastles or add in water and stones. on a simple square box full of sand used to aid in meditation.

    Effectivity:

    I was given a whole month to test out the app, I used it as much as I can, starting up the app whenever I needed to calm down or rejuvenate. I tell you, the very first breathing exercise when started out properly, felt incredibly effective, then slowly, I can feel my heart rate and muscles relaxing from tension. I can think better and was able to produce fresh ideas for my work. I continued to use the app every day and felt better, but at times that I could not access my phone, I do the breathing exercises, surprisingly, it works.  

    Breathing exercises are proven effective but wait till you check the Meditation and Deep Muscle relaxation, as you have seen on one of my photos, I have been increasingly stressing out, it takes more than breathing exercises to ease tension from within, the two techniques are effective and reliable in stabilitizing your emotions and well-being. 



    AVAILABILITY:
    The app is available on Google Play or downloadable thru PC.

    Spoiler alert!






    Genre: HorrorAired: February 15, 2012
    Japanese: ギョ
    Produced by: UFOTABLE
    Synopsis:Source on this link
    Something in Okinawa reeks, and it isn't long before Kaori and her friends realize that the smell is coming from dead fish, which are walking out of the sea. The fish are fused to metal legs and are infected with a disease contractible by humans that were invented as a weapon by unknown sources. After what happens to Tadashi, Kaori finds herself in a new world very much like the old one but with the stench of death.



    Personal review:
    You might be a fan of Yamishibai, Kagewani or Spirited Away and for animated movie and series with these genres, we cannot get enough of the thrill, color, and excitement of these amazing works of art. I will introduce to you another anime if you haven't watched it before, similar to those listed above favorites. 

    I discovered this anime thru one of a sneak preview in a facebook post which piqued my curiosity, it delivered an interesting story and combined with perfect animation, I immediately had to search the name of this anime and found out the name is Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack.

    I couldn't get enough of it thinking that this scene was an anime after the SEA KING from ONE PUNCH MAN had died and that the whole fish kingdom was attacking the whole city. Of course, that really was not the case. 

    Towards the end of the show, it has given some theories about the disease but is yet certain what the real cause is, this mystery combined with its uniqueness -from then on, I considered it on my top shelf of most favorite anime to watch.

    The anime is EXCEPTIONAL! The concept is unique! I have watched almost all anime Horror genres and I have never seen a story like this ever in my life. 


    This is unlike any other horror anime ever watched.

    This anime has a manga version but I would advise you to watch the anime instead cause there is a big difference in the manga that you might not be happy about.

    It gave me chills realizing the fact that the sea is a wide undiscovered area in the world that is almost impossible to discern. Imagine how much population of the creatures are out there! It's endless!



    The story of the main character named Kaori and the journalist Tsuyoshi Shirakawa adds fascinating curiosity if they might end up together after Kaori's fiancee turned into the unusual creature. 

    It is appealing how Tsuyoshi Shirakawa had changed his initial motive from Kaori as they get closer to each other. 

    Moreover, the extra scenes of Kaori's friends Aki and Erika had me curious as to how they all got together as they all have different personalities, it is then I assumed that since Kaori mentioned that they are in college vacation that I got the idea that they met at their school.

    Despite the differences, It is obvious enough that Kaori was the one bring the group together and it was an awkward horrid situation when she left them in the cabin.

    It is even imaginable how Kaori had described the "Stench of death" smelled like with the combined 2D-3D artwork apocalyptic scenes build out a single image of a decaying fish or body would be in this situation. 

    While everybody is almost at the brink of their madness, Tadashi's uncle, a famous inventor, appears to be a typical mad scientist, until a video where Kaori discovered what happened to Tadashi shocked her and made her decide to search for his fiancee only to find out that he had become a living guinea pig. 

    The heart thumping horror not only gave me chills but also touched my heart when Kaori discovers that his fiancee is conscious even with the current mysterious monster form. 

    Boy did it broke my heart that she lost his fiancee then followed by Tsuyoshi which had been infected while he was trying to calm Kaori from her suicide attempts to rescue her fiancee. 

    The story has left a lot of questions on my mind and a potential growth is present, I would definitely love to know what happened next.

    The digital advertising world is an ever-evolving landscape that can leave some business owners confused, daunted and uncertain when it comes to implementing marketing and advertising strategies. 

    For some, it is easy to fall into advertising traps and scams that lead their businesses nowhere, if not to significant advertising budget loss, particularly when done through platforms that are unstable or worse, through ineffective advertising schemes.


     Imagine spending for an online advertisement space monthly that promises you targeted exposure, but actually lands you nowhere near business provider searchers’ fingertips. That is bad investment and perhaps one of the reasons why some businesses opt to go for traditional advertising instead of taking advantage of the endless possibilities digital advertising – if done right – brings.


    Furthermore, small scale businesses often get left behind when it comes to advertising simply because of limited advertising funds. It becomes difficult for them to compete with bigger businesses offering the same products or services, leaving them tailing behind giant corporations and companies.


    Startups and small scale business owners often beat themselves up for ways to push their brand, product or service but because they lack technical skills, effective marketing strategy and most importantly, funding, they end up taking leftovers from big scale businesses.




    This is the reason why the people behind Lookna gave us… Well… Lookna.

    Lookna is a modern age search engine that service providers can use to get their businesses listed or advertised for service searchers to find easily. It’s a simple but powerful advertising tool that provides companies, whether small scale or big scale, the opportunity to get “matched” to the right client with just a few mouse clicks. 


    Lookna understands the major pitfalls that unsuspecting businesses can fall into when it comes to advertising that is why it is here to offer entrepreneurs surefire advertising solutions. To avoid scams and schemes, Lookna has designed a system that allows only verified businesses to get listing opportunities. The sign up process is straightforward and doesn’t require special technical skills, but it is designed to be easy only for legit businesses.

     What’s fantastic about Lookna is that it allows equal opportunity to big scale and small businesses. This is called fair ads distribution. Finally, small business owners and operators or even startups, can enjoy the same exposure that big businesses do. This ups the game for businesses competing with each other because everyone is at an equal footing, the challenge then is for them to deliver quality services or manufacture quality products for clients to keep coming back. 

    Aside from receiving the same exposure, business operators are also assured of exposure to their target market. After all, it is essential that your brand gets pushed to the correct audience, right?


    Lookna offers both advertisers and service subscribers a win-win solution: Fair ads distribution has the Lookna. Due to pay-per-click charging systems being prone to fraud, Lookna is offering a FREE subscription plan for all advertisers for a yet to bedetermined length of time. It may be the best way for advertisers to test the waters and see if Lookna is a good fit for their business, they have the option to stay or leave later on when the search engine starts charging fees. This is especially great news for small scale businesses as they can gain online visibility for absolutely zero cost. Nothing to lose and only everything to gain, so to speak. 


    The truth of the matter is this: Lookna is the future of advertising. 


    With Lookna, there are no giants and startups – just legit businesses. Isn’t that absolutely beautiful?

    One Sunday We decided to take a long walk from the Church, while walking it started raining and we looked for a place to eat. I was  famished after the mass and just a blessing when we saw a bright light coming from a Cafe located beside a car wash. We did not bring a car with us since we decided to walk. 

    Right then the place was new to me despite that the cafe was only 5-10 minutes walk from our place. We had to try it out I said to my Partner. 

    So we went in and got cozy on their humble cafe and was handed out their menu. 

    They were very courteous and friendly, we were honest to them that it is our first time and that we do not know what to order yet.

    I was looking for something heavy to eat even though its dinner haha, don't try it , it's not healthy.

    So we ordered these:


    Coffee topped with Chocolate cream and Pretzel sticks




    This drink is by far my most favorite of all, it's sweet and light!

    They also gave me a free cupcake and discussed the cakes that they do deliver and sell:

    Their facebook page are full of creative cakes and they also can help get a cake for any occasions!



    We thought the servings would only be a normal plating, but when this order came out we got so surprised since it was oversized! 


    Nacho Salad at C&F cafe
    The cafe lives by its theme as I almost froze from the cold room temperature, so I dare you to try hahaha!


    This one is my personal order, the chicken and fries are juicy and pasta has heavenly flavor, it is simple order but surprisingly large serving!




    The serving was plenty enough that I even bought home some of the pieces that I was not able to consume because I was already full. Now thats what I call satisfied!

    They also have free super fast wifi!


    Right after we arrived at home, I had posted a good review on their page. I was so happy and satisfied.


    Then we called them up since they do deliver at home, it's so convenient!


    You can visit their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/IGLOOCAFE2013/photos/

    disclaimer: 

    This is not a collaboration post, I am sharing to you my own experience without any incentives, this is my very own cafe review of the place.
    . .

    June 17, 2017
    15th-floor Octagon Building, Ortigas.
    2pm

    Invitation

    It was a thrilling secret about the company, when I was informed of a blogging gig at Ortigas Center regarding awareness for skin care, the name has not been disclosed yet until such time of arrival at the place.

    I was invited by Mr. Miguel Hung, it took me a month to reply as my blogging account is separate from my work account which I always log in to. It was surprising that they still do accept the approval for the invitation last May. 

    Arrival
    I am surprised when they asked if I knew Nu Skin, it is very NEW to my knowledge especially when they asked me the products I used for my face. They said that they are going to conduct skin tests before a facial session.

    Symposium
    They have let us join a symposium for the introduction of the company which I was not able to finish as my current condition ~ gastritis has been bugging me again because we haven't had lunch since it takes 2-4 hours ride from our place to Ortigas, we missed the lunchtime.

    On that conference, we have met doctors and Directors that gave us vital information of their visions for the company.

    They encourage people to have the chance to have income by their membership for direct selling. 

    Tests were done:

    Before conducting the tests, my photographer Mr. Jonathan recognized the place where he had been before when we were at high school that he was invited by our high school teacher to join in, unfortunately as a high schooler he said that he does not have any income yet at that time, so he was not able to invest but he was incredibly interested in the development of the company especially that it stood the time since his last visit last 2007.

    So moving on the first test is the 
    1. FACIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM:

    Mr. Miguel Hung on thumbs up to start the procedure.
    I was asked to place my chin on the scanning machine and close the eyes, I felt no pain, I only heard shutters from a camera and a somewhat different colored light flashing emitting from machine described by Photographer.

    It only took at least 1 min for the scan and I already have my results in their database.
    As you can see here on the picture, the machine thoroughly analyzed my skin condition, from then on Mr. Miguel was able to find out the best recommendation on how to address my dry skin and pimple breakouts. 

     My photographer was also tested out for the Weight analysis and from then was also able to recommend the best possible solutions.
    According to them, they recommend to Mr. Jonathan These set:


    AGELOC® TR90™ WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND BODY SHAPING SYSTEM - VANILLA

    This will help him get to his ideal body weight. Currently, he admits that he has gone way up his BMR and he was looking to find ways to slim down, he also admits that his everyday living had been quite sedentary that why he does not seem to be losing weight.



    Fave Products:


    One by one they had introduced the products to us, but by far these are my favorites:




    It is a Mist diffuser infused with essential oils depending on your desired aroma and mood, it blasted the peppermint to my face and my tired and weary condition suddenly felt brightened up! P.S I was literally experiencing gastritis and it felt like I was being calmed down from stresses. 


    This is like the HOLY GRAIL for the skin care products, they said that this device dispenses the correct amount of solution that best suit your needs!

    That means that you will get the correct percentage of your chosen products to apply on your skin. 


    FREE FACIAL ONSITE FACIAL PRODUCTS


    So, upon introduction of the products from Facial analyzation device, the products recommended are those moisturizing, hydrating. I was beside also a guest blogger who tested out the products. 

    This is just a tissue on my face with the combined products, bear in mind that they made us take off our makeup. So forgive me if I do look terrible here.
    Encircled are the products applied to my face.

    These procedures helped me tremendously in knowing how to address my skin issues and to know the best-recommended products for a dry skin and my usual skin issues which are pimple breakouts.

    I only underwent through a free one-day facial so the results are not yet clear, but from my point of view, repeated use of the products would result in a youthful clear skin.

    You can visit their website for their products.
    Thank you very much Nuskin for your invite and free facial!

    7 reasons why filipinos will change the world

    Have you noticed that Filipinos are now dominating the entire world? A bit exaggerated, right? This is entirely true actually. Even if you don’t admit it but Filipinos are the mightiest and powerful, they also possess unique capabilities that are inherent to them. Each Filipino has a DNA of each culture in the world and it is not surprising that they can do everything if they set their mind to it. Tracing back in history, when Magellan landed to Bohol, Filipinos can already stand on their own, established their kingdoms and communities and the land was rich in good resources including a strong bond to nature and supernatural, they need not of other help from anyone, they had the capability of sustaining their needs on their own. These days, Filipinos have gain dependency and had lost their confidence; often times would praise someone whose fair skin to the point of worshipping them as idols, not that it is wrong but most of the times, opportunities pass and the capabilities become hidden as they lose their confidence in striving to become the best.
    On a recent short read of a booklet, I encountered a handy list of interesting facts about Filipinos of how why they can become a strong influence on the whole world and be an influencer of change. This book has a strong label that it must be read in 30 minutes. Yes, the whole pocketbook must be read in 30 minutes and of course, it is doable with only a piece of 36 small pages, it has given me a boost of self-confidence. This booklet shows a list of their observations and inspirational facts about Filipinos, a good must read to help you get inspired. I read this book inside an exclusive café, I was sitting solo on their bench and had limited time to boost and energize myself from all the stresses of the entire week.  
    In my list including watching inspirational anime series, listening to Vocaloid songs that uplift my spirits and made me remember my dreams, this booklet completes all necessary ingredients on my de-stressing and bits of fuel for motivation. Why?

     1.     Short read in 30 minutes
    This book is a small amount of energy drink that doesn’t take so much of your time; most of us are in limited time with either work or business and extra activities. It wouldn't even take most of your time versus the time you spent scrolling down your social media feeds, reading a book can actually make a person fulfilled to be productive and a good brain food. 

    2.     Lightweight booklet
    I literally only bring a handheld clutch with me on my trips to our nearby café to eat, chill and energize and this booklet doesn’t even need a space at all! It is very thin and lightweight, so handy for a short read!

    3.  Inspirational booster


    Self-actualization is one on the pyramid of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, what better way to complete the whole pyramid is to get inspiration and motivation in order to complete the stages in reaching the ultimate needs, this is a must try read to complete the fully recharge your motivation bottle.


    4.  An eye-opener
    Although on the first reasons, most mentioned are noticeable to many Filipinos, there are great points in the book that even most Filipinos fail to notice that they have it. Sometimes we literally fail to see that there are even more traits that are inherent to us which is waiting to be discovered and harnessed for us to reach our goal and dreams. Dreams are often ignored too many people but this is actually the linked to the 'empty feeling' that one usually feels. Do not stop reading and continue until you get the last page then you will know what I’m talking about.


    "The Greatest enemy of the Filipino is the Filipino"

    That line had caught me right in the feels! This is real and true to most of us, emphasizing what is wrong and letting the crab-mentality take over our actions without even thinking of the consequence has a tremendous effect, but most Filipinos do not care until such time they experience this on his own. We let envy, pride and jealousy take over rather than be thankful for our own blessings, we tend to compare this with others which lead us to downfall.
