Skin type: oily, sensitive and acne prone skin Please recommend me something na affordable lang. I've been eyeing Soul Apothecary and yung cosrx ba yun and read their reviews but I'm really scared in trying new products that might not work or not suitable for my face. What I've tried before is yung sa pimple eraser na cleanser and the Celeteque one but very oily yung skin ko when I used it. What I'm using now as my night routine is the garnier micellar water (pink cap) to remove my makeup and dirt then the garnier facial foam (blue cap)

Is there anything I can try that is hopefully not a waste of money?

For context, very pawisin girly ako and talagang nag o-oil up kahit na aircon ang environment. Even with the skin prep like moisturizer and sunscreen, some products looks too cakey on my face. Nabudol akong bumili ng barenbliss na yung bago but it's too cakey and I hope to find another one na affordable lang sana and budget friendly for students.

I'm eyeing to buy sea makeup this 9.9 pero baka hindi rin suitable sa face ko. Meron na ako nung grwm (pink cap) and I can say it's very blurring but not very long lasting nga lang. Even with a matte setting spray sa dazzle me barbie ver. or yung fixing spray sa jmcy. For the concealer, yung pretty secret ang use ko since it's very affordable lang and it won't break me out like at all. I just need help to find the best option for a powder foundation

I haven't been a writer for a long time but with the rampant ai issues these days, it made me wonder if these writers even know how to write at all? Do they even read their own works that it made them too careless to just publish a chapter because of the pressure to update constantly? Maybe it's partly the reader's fault for not having some kind of understanding or consideration to wait for a while. If they're reading it for free, then why do they keep on demanding?

For the writers out there, a very simple thing or a writing tip that works for me is to read, read and READ MORE BOOKS. Please lang. There are tons of stories out there. Read what you're interested in the most. Read books that challenged you. And as you read, notice how other authors write, like what works or what doesn't work. Read as if you're like a writer or an editor. Just don't rely too much on ai because you're stuck or having a writer's block. Trust me, I have been there a lot of times. Having no motivations, no inspiration to keep going but at the end of the day, it comes down to my intention to write. Do I write to please people? To inspire? To spread awareness? Or do I write just for myself? I admit that it's something I do when I'm bored or if I wanted to escape for a while. Sobrang comforting rin sa akin ang pagsusulat at hobby ko lang kasi ito. I am not a professional writer. Most of us are not getting paid but we're constantly trying to put some words down from the ideas we had in our mind. Ideas that WE thought of. Talagang hindi ako makatulog sa gabi habang hindi ko maisusulat iyong naisip ko na idea. And when I'm writing a chapter, I'll immediately stop the moment I feel like I'm just forcing words out just to update. When nothing ever makes sense and it's just a very messy. I'll add that your first draft doesn't have to be "perfect". It's supposed to be messy. Whether sa grammar, punctuations or awkward phrasing pa iyan. Because you can always edit that. Proofread after completing it and then edit. Because that's what I always do and kung may babaguhin ako, I'll put it in a paraphrase so that I'll get back to it later. If you really want for readers to know your hard work then don't get lazy and use ai.
