What Makes Pink Cry And Who Is Her Celebrity Crush! - The Dirt TV

I like her music, wit, humor and as a mother. She's so spontaneous and she's my idol. Good luck pink!

Willow Sage Hart - Perfect

Made a wrong turn, Once or twice
Dug my way out, Blood and fire
Bad decisions, That's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "no way, it's all good", It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, Always second guessing
Under estimated, Look, I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

You're so mean,
When you talk, About yourself, You were wrong.
Change the voices, In your head
Make them like you Instead.

So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game.
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.

Oh, Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/perfect-lyrics-pink.html ]
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

The whole world stares so I swallow the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer. So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
We change ourselves and we do it all the time

Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
(Why do I do that?)

[Yeah~, Ohh~ pretty pretty please, Ohh~]

Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

You're perfect, You're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.


Every mothers wish for their children so like the music.

Don't Give up

When about to give up, think of these people. Learn from your mistakes and don't lose hopes.

This is the most critical stage which happens after it has been several years from when first stage of gout has happened and in this stage there will be permanent harm done to the joints with a possibility to even spread this damage to the kidneys.

Some of the common symptoms which help in identifying gout include too much pain, redness and joints swelling which usually include the big toe joint which is commonly affected. One of the best methods in which gout can be avoided includes keeping a control on the diet and keep check on the increase in uric acid levels in the body.

Our body has natural substance named purines which when are divided form uric acid, there are also foods which have purines which have to be avoided in order to have check on the uric acid being produced in the body.

Ladies beware of fake mirror

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall Is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can ' t see them)?

There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms . It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?

Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is GENUINE mirror.

However, if your Fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail,

Then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!

21 Home Remedies for a Toothache

1. Salt Water: Mix a heaping tablespoon full of salt in a small glass of warm water; swirl around inside your mouth for as long as you can, spit out. Repeat as needed.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide: Swoosh a bit of hydrogen peroxide. If the taste is too horrid for you, try diluting with a bit of water.

3. Alcohol: Swoosh a bit of whiskey, scotch, brandy or vodka. A strong mouthwash that contains alcohol will do the trick too.

4. Vanilla Extract: Saturate a cotton ball with vanilla and hold in place. Can also use a cotton swab dipped in extract.

5. Tea Tree Oil: Just a drop or two will do the trick. You can also add some to a cotton swab and hold in place or add a few drops of tea tree oil to a small glass of lukewarm to warm water and rinse your mouth with it.

worry free life

If you're laying in bed
wrapped up in sheets
of miserable thought,
go to sleep

If thumbing through old messages
only causes your heart to ache
and long for something unattainable
erase them

if it hurts to keep
everything you're feeling
bottled up inside
let it out

if you're clinging onto someone
that doesnt treat you like
you're worth the wolrd
let them go

becasue sometimes
we choose to believe
that things are only
indistinguishable shades of gray,
when in reality,
life is more black and white than it seems

if you're unhappy
with the way
you areliving your life
change it.

Dinuguan’s many versions

Yummy dinuguan

It seems like each Philippine province—sometimes, even each family—has its own version of this beloved bloody stew. With all these adaptations, it’s become a huge chore to trace exactly which place gave birth to this dish.

However, historians agree on one thing: dinuguan (pork blood stew) started out as a poor man’s stew. Back when dinuguan was born, lechon was strictly for the upper class to enjoy because of its hefty price tag. The lower class, many of whom worked in the households of those enjoying the lechon, would have to make do with the pork innards and other rejected parts—including the blood—of the butchered pig. They took these and put Filipino ingenuity to work.

How dinuguan is prepared has evolved and branched out since then, but the base recipe remains the same: Sauté minced ginger with garlic, onions, and chilies; add the innards, and let everything simmer for about 20 minutes in pork stock, laced with lemongrass stock. Season with salt, cracked black pepper and, of course, vinegar. When the innards are tender, pour in the pig’s blood and stir continuously for a couple of minutes until the blood thickens. Adjust the seasoning, and your dinuguan is done!

Of course, don’t forget to serve your dinuguan with its perfect partner: puto.

As mentioned, different versions have sprung up all over the Philippines. Here are the more popular ones:

Ilocos—“Dinardaraan”
Unlike the dinuguan that Tagalogs and Ilonggos are used to, Ilocanos’ version of this favorite Filipino dish is dry, oily, and on the crunchy side. (A little bit like the Crispy dinuguan that’s been making the rounds of Pinoy restaurants lately.) Dinardaraan still uses pig meat and innards, though. Ilocanos deep-fry the pig’s (thoroughly cleaned) intestines, plus a bit of pork loin and fat to keep things chewy. Some Ilocanos like their dinardaraan soupy, like how Tagalogs prepare theirs. Others prepare their dinardaraan with the pig’s blood curdled to a paste.

Northern Mindanao—“Sampayna or Champayna”

Apart from the usual ingredients—pork intestines, liver, and blood—sampayna also uses pork lung (cut into cubes) and banana heart. Similar to the dinardaraan of Ilocos, preparing sampayna involves frying the innards in their own oil until they get a little crispy. Which is when you cut them up into bite size and mix with the other ingredients. Like the Tagalog dinuguan, the blood sauce of sampayna is more soupy than dinardaraan’s.

Pampanga—“Tid-tad”

Pampanga’s version of pork blood stew incorporates a beloved Pinoy street food: cubes of blood. Tid-tad has a runny sauce and takes its bloodiness to the next level—cubes of solidified blood are mixed in with the usual pork innards. Of course, everything is cleaned and boiled thoroughly before being tossed into the stew pot. Tid-tad is a much beloved dish in Pampanga that it’s served all throughout the day—you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, merienda (mid-day snacks), or dinner!

Batangas—“Sinunggaok”

Perhaps the healthiest version of dinuguan there is, Batangenos’ sinunggaok has distinct differences from the version Tagalogs are used to. For one, sinunggaok uses only pork meat, none of those innards. Also, Batanguenos use tomatoes, not vinegar, as the souring ingredient of their sinunggaok. Finally, chunks of green papaya are tossed in (pleasantly adding fiber to the dish).

Cebu—“Dugo-dugo”

As if to emphasize the star ingredient of this dish, Cebuanos like to say it twice (“dugo” is Filipino for “blood”). There are several versions of dugo-dugo within Cebu itself. Some versions add cubes of solidified blood, just like in Pampanga’s tid-tad. Other versions omit the pork liver from the dish, as liver sells at premium prices and they would rather use it solo for other dishes. In these versions, the innards are chopped so finely down to the millimeter, so that the end result is a pork blood stew without the recognizable ingredients.

22 Things You Need To Do While You Have The Chance

JUN. 20, 2013 

By CHARLOTTE GREEN 

1. Go to a country whose language you do not speak, and where English is rarely spoken. Learn what it means to have to find out everything by yourself, and to live glued to your translating dictionary.

2. Sleep with your whole body stretched across the bed in your very own apartment, where no one can tell you what to do or make you be quiet so that they can sleep.

3. Take a road trip simply for the joy of being on the road and not having anywhere in particular to end up. Stop in restaurants and shops along the way that look like they belong in a Norman Rockwell painting, and eat candy that your grandparents used to love.

4. Dance with a stranger in the bar for three whole songs and then go home by yourself, without feeling like you owed them anything.

5. Read a religious text that you’ve never opened before, cover to cover. Don’t worry about converting, just worry about learning something about yourself that you didn’t know before.

6. Organize a big party with all of the people who are living in your town that you somehow don’t often see, despite their proximity. Take advantage of the fact that you’re all still in the same place for the time being.

7. Kiss a friend on the lips when the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.

8. Enjoy long Sunday mornings without children jumping on your bed to wake you up at the crack of dawn to make them breakfast.

9. Call up an old friend you haven’t seen a really long time and make plans to go see them this summer. Follow through with it, even if it means sleeping on their floor in a sleeping bag like you’re 10 years old again. (In fact, especially if it means sleeping on the floor.)

10. Go camping with a few friends, a cooler full of beer, and more burgers than could ever fit on the grill.

11. Save up enough money to get you through a month or so of no income, and quit your dead-end job to

 travel around for a little bit. You know that, even if you don’t find something better, you will always be able to replace a job like that one on short notice.

12. Relish in the immense pleasure of quitting a shitty job with a shitty boss that you absolutely loathe going to every day.

13. Spend an entire weekend alone, walking around, eating in restaurants by yourself, and not even distracting yourself with music. Listen to things like you never allow yourself to — the children playing, the breeze blowing, the mellow chatter of diners dining.

14. Throw a theme party where everyone has to come in basically no clothing.

15. Set up two of your friends who you know are completely in love with one another but refuse to actually make the first move on their own.

16. Go on dates with people you meet on the internet, and don’t feel weird or lame about it. Remember that you can find love absolutely anywhere, and there is no reason to limit yourself to the people who happen to be around you in your day-to-day life.

17. Follow one of those online classes offered for free by the best universities in the world. Learn something just for the sake of learning it, and don’t let yourself get caught up in the feeling of being “done” with education in any way.

18. Throw a movie-watching party with all of your friends who have completely differing tastes in movies. Make them fall in love with something that everyone can agree on, such as The Room.

19. Go to an all-night concert that puts you out onto the street when it’s sunny and people are going to work and everyone is serving breakfast.

20. Allow yourself to be taken out on the kind of night with your friends that you would normally bail out on, and see if you don’t have just a little bit of fun while, say, bar-hopping in a city you normally never visit.

21. Go to a strip club and leave all of your inhibitions at the door. (And bring a nice stack of cash, because you should never not properly tip your girls.)

22. Start a new project simply to test your abilities and see what you might not have yet learned about yourself. Work seriously on paintings, submit articles, take up an instrument, join a dance class. Be a better version of yourself. Regardless of the kind of success you might see, you will at least have become the kind of person who isn't afraid to try things. 

I don't own this article. I just want to save this as my copy to read.

Home Remedies to Remove Blackheads and Whinteheads

Blackheads and whiteheads are common problem among those who have oily skin apart from this it also is one of the problems among teenagers which often also stays on irrespective of their age which might even extend to twenties, thirties and forties.

What causes blackheads and whiteheads?

Everyone is not aware of the self-moisturizing mechanism out skin has which is through sebaceous glands which secretes oil named sebum which are stored in follicles. Based on this mechanism whenever the follicle becomes full oil is spilled onto the skin which helps in keeping the skin healthy and moisturized, however there is small portion of oil trapped inside this follicle instead of just flowing onto the skin.

This results in development of bacteria in the follicle itself which ultimately leads to creation of pimple though there are also times when instead of infection everything gets clogged up in follicle to form comedones which are commonly referred to as whiteheads and blackheads.

What is the difference between a blackhead and a whitehead?

Whenever the follicle opening becomes wider than its normal size is the reason formation of comedone named blackhead, since the sebum and dead skin cells which have been trapped react chemically with air that finally results in oxidation of melanin which is the actual reason for its black color.

While the whitehead is formed due to the hair follicle’s lack of exposure to air which clogs up the sebum and dead skin cells however the color it gets is due to the lack of exposure to air which does not allow oxidation of melanin hence the clogged matter remains white in color.

How do we get rid of blackheads and whiteheads?
