Few days after my recent trip to India, I noticed that my face looked fresh and I thought I looked pretty. My daughter bought a face cream from Khan Market supposedly pasalubong for her friend.
When I saw it, I told her “anak, akin na lang”. Every night before going to bed, I used it. When I told my husband that the cream was very good, that it made me look good, he said “sana sampu ang binili mo”. It was 100 rupees, roughly a hundred pesos.
My husband continued “ano ba naman yung P1,000 kung sampu, ngayon mas mahal pa lalabas dahil babalik ka pa sa India para bumili lang nyan”.
Now, more than a month had passed, I am back to my everyday work, concerns, etc.
I noticed that I look so old and bad. No amount of cream could make my face look fresh and pretty. I feel discouraged when I see myself on the mirror. Wrinkles are multiplying.
I realized it’s not the cream. It’s the stress!
Few days in New Delhi, going to bed at 10 pm, waking up with excitement on what to eat that day, drinking 2 free freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, walking around the Khan Market in 18 degrees lamig weather, and just thinking about the dress I want to buy.
Zero stress!!!!
That’s the thing.
Not the cream.
Hehehey! Very nice and it’s true!
