It was in January 2005, Dinagyang Festival when Ireneo "Jong"Grabato met Cherrie Gold Cajandig. Jong asked a common friend to introduce them but he failed to get her number. Their next meeting was in April 2005 and since then, he courted the woman of his dreams. He would send text messages to Gold everyday. Jong courted her the traditional way, too. He would send flowers and chocolates to Roxas City, where Gold lives, almost every week. It was in June 6, 2006 that Jong finally asked Gold for dinner and there, asked her if she would like to have him as her boyfriend.

Diamonds on My Face

SO much has been said about diamond peel and how it makes one's skin youthful and vibrant. From what this writer has read, diamond peel is an effective and mechanical peeling of old skin. Unlike facials, this does not make one's face puffy after a session, it's fast and pain-free. Also, it removes 98 percent of the skin's imperfections after several sessions compared to facials, which can only deal with simple concerns like whiteheads and blackheads.
