Changes in In-State Freshman Enrollment in Public Universities, 2002-2012

This is a good example, I think, of how data visualization helps you make sense of things: Even simple things like a small table of data.

In this case, the table is from The College Board, showing changes in the percentage of in-state freshmen in our nation's public universities.  You can see the raw data by downloading Table 28, here. What you can't see by looking at that table, of course, is the overall pattern.  That's where a picture comes in.

There are only two numeric values in the table: Percentage of freshman enrollment that are state residents in 2002 and 2012.  I added a third, by subtracting one from the other.  Then I put them on a choropleth hex map, a format I like because all the states are the same size.  On this map, orange colors show states where the percentage of in-state residents has increased; purple shows a decrease, and grays are mostly even.

Be careful about interpreting this data. This visualization does NOT show, of course, that a university system is enrolling fewer in-state students; in fact, the number could have gone up if non-resident enrollment also increased, but at a faster pace.  It just shows what has happened to the makeup of that freshman enrollment: More in-state (orange) or less in-state (purple).

What do you see?

How To Wear Your White Sneakers

Finally owned a white sneakers. When I was a kid, my mom always frown upon the idea of buying anything white for me especially shoes because it gets dirty easily. That is why every time I opt to buy new shoes or footwears, the color white is always the last option. Recently I've realized a white shoe is a must have for every wardrobe. White just always go with any colors. I will post my outfit of the day photos wearing my precious Adidas Superstar. Ha! This is just an imitation since I can't afford one (unemployed student problem). Well, I don't care at all 'coz I'm practical that way. Hehehe For now, I'll be just fine with this replica shoes. By the way, I'm taking my vow of honesty since last week. So, expect me to be the most honest person in the world starting today. Lies just makes your life miserable. I've ruined my bestfriend's life because of a lie. I'm still in the process of healing. Hopefully in God's time, my soul will truly be healed. I regret everything. However, life goes on no matter what.  Bear in mind that life knocks you down to teach you a lesson and I've learned my lesson well...I'm never going back. A lie is always a lie. Even if it's a white lie. It will always hurt the person you love. Anyway, here's my #ootd photos below. I will keep updating this post. I love you all guys!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

Testing Underwater My Casio G-Shock Men's Watch W-735H-2A - Vibration Alarm

Hi! I just want to make a suicidal review with my not so new Casio G-Shock W-735H-2A watch. It's been a few months now that I've purchased this watch but I can't find the time to test it underwater not until this summer of 2016. This watch is not originally mine. This was my then boyfriend's watch which he refused to use after we broke up. Anyway, here's how the watch looks like.

casio g-shock men's watch w-735h-2a-vibration alarm navy blue color review underwater
Photo is from Lazada.
What I like about this watch?
It's the vibration alarm feature. It's very convenient especially if you don't want to wake other people while they're sleeping. This watch vibrates instead of the usual annoying alarm clock sound. 

What's more to like?
I brought this watch because it's price is very affordable. It's only P1575.00 with P200.00 discount coupon from Lazada. I'm quite addicted to online shopping especially in Lazada. 

Other Features
  • It promises a 10-year battery Led light (high brightness) Dual time
  • Daily alarm, 1/100th-second stopwatch (24hr), 1/10th-second countdown timer (24hr), and high-brightness LED backlight
  • 44 mm stainless steel case with mineral dial window
  • Japanese quartz movement with digital display
  • Silicone band with buckle closure
  • Water resistant to 100 m (330 ft): In general, suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not scuba diving
What do you mean by water resistant?
This is the degree where you can expose your watch to water. If you want to read the details about this topic, please visit Casio's page.  Anyway, for an easier explanation, I want you to look at the illustration below to check how waterproof your watch is. This specific watch is under the 100M water resistance case designation. This watch is wearable around sinks, during swimming, poolside diving, but not recommended for highboard diving and scuba surfing. 
Guideline on how many meters can your watch be placed underwater casio gshock vibration alarm atmosphere

How long can you immerse this watch underwater?
According to this site, most water resistant watches are not designed for prolonged active use in water. Water resistance is stated as a depth (BAR, ATM, meters or feet) this means that it has been tested in a laboratory to with stand a static pressure for a short period only at the stated depth. The number of Bars a timepiece can withstand is typically multiplied by ten when translated into meters of depth resistance. The guide below provides clarity with regards to how many Bars translate to how many meters, and how this is applicable to real life scenarios:
guide on how to translate your watch bars atmosphere pressure feet metres casio gshock tissot philipstein geneva timex bulova fossil
This watch is tested in accordance with the International Organization for Standard Regulations IS02281 which means that the minimum requirement that a watch will pass a 20 meter(66') test. Please check the guidelines below before wearing your watch underwater.

ISO 2281 Water Resistance Requirements:

  • Immersion of the watch in 10 cm of water for 1 hour.
  • Immersion of the watch in 10 cm of water with a force of 5 Newton perpendicular to the crown and pusher buttons (if any) for 10 minutes.
  • Immersion of the watch in 10 cm of water at the following temperatures for 5 minutes each, 40°C(104F), 20°C (68F)and 40°C(104F) again, with the transition between temperatures not to exceed 5 minutes. No evidence of water intrusion or condensation is allowed.
  • Immersion of the watch in a suitable pressure vessel and subjecting it to the rated pressure for 1 hour. No evidence of water intrusion or condensation is allowed.
  • Exposing the watch to an overpressure of 2 bar, no more than 50µg/min of air is allowed to get inside the case.
  • No magnetic or shock resistance properties are required.
  • No negative pressure test is required.
  • No strap attachment test is required.
  • No corrosion test is required.

However if the watch have a different rating then just plain Water resistant for instance a 30M, 50M,100M,200M etc rating then it needs to be tested in a pressure chamber with a static overpressure equivalent to the pressure at that depth. For your reference, check the requirements below. Source

Final Verdict
Yes. This watch can be worn underwater up to 100 m, 30 feet for a specific amount of time according to your usage. It is recommended to be worn in pool water only. It is not safe to be worn under the sea because the pressure under the sea is different than the pool.

My New Beauty Regimen From Last Year 2015 Up To The Present

 As a Gemini, I'm pro CHANGE. I'm not afraid for changes. Some people are having a hard time trying new things but not me. For me, you can never really grow up without change. Change may be for improvement or the opposite. It may cause good things but in some other instances, change may have a bad effect on you. As a risk taker Gemini woman, I'm not afraid to try new things. Some people are very loyal on their products but for me, if there's something new in the market, I'm always down with it. For a change, I will introduce my new beauty regimen which I find very effective for my specific skin condition. This is an update to my previous post found here ---> How I Got Rid Of My Adult Acne

Right now, I'm religiously using Dr. Alvin's Beauty Set. This product was introduced by my friend Astral Drop but I've seen it's popularity through Instagram before she told me she was using it also. Actually, she told me it was her mom who've introduced it to her. Meeting her mom for the first time made me appreciate her flawless face and even asked my friend what's her mom's beauty regimen. Anyway, to make the long story short, I was carried away by my friend's face improvement. I remember she have lots of breakouts under her chin from the past and it's all gone now. 

I've learned that there are three (3) sets to follow to achieve the Kutis Artista skin. The first set is the REJUVENATING SET. The second is called the CLARIFYING SET and the third one is the MAINTENANCE SET. 

If you have lots of skin imperfections like mine (Adult acne, hormonal acne, uneven skintone, etc.), please do start with the rejuvenating set. As a former Beauche and GT user, I'm used to the redness, peeling off, itchiness, and stingy feel. For me, you will really need to go through these stages. I've tried products before which promises no redness, peeling, itchiness, and the stingy feel but they're all a downer, no visible effect. 

For first time users of the rejuvenating set, these are the effects you will encounter:

1. It seems like there's no effect for the first time using it. No stingy feeling unless you have open wounds from a pricked pimple. No redness yet but you will feel a little bit of itchiness. This means that the product is working. If you've tried the Glycolic treatment done by a professional, this feeling is nothing close to it. Glycolic acid treatment is just freaking painful. 

2. The second day, you will notice tightening of the skin. Your face may look shiny also. This is the sign of the inevitable skin peeling. If you are a first time user, like your face is still a virgin ( not tried any strong product before) then you will start to feel really scared. Relax, this is normal. Don't be paranoid.

3. On the third day, it will start to feel really itchy from the face to the neck area. Do not rub your face my friend. Stay away from the sun. You may look terrible now but hold on (tiis ganda eh). 

4. For people who have less tolerance to pain, I know every time you wash your face using the soap makes you cringe. The sting is hellish as f*ck! You may stop using the soap for a while and use Cetaphil instead. Cetaphil is very gentle to the skin. I know it's very expensive but you will have to invest on that thing to ease your pain. LOL! If you think the stingy feel subsides a little after a few days of using Cetaphil, use the papaya or glutathione soap again. 

5. For one week or more, the stingy feeling will magnify. This is because you're peeling off skin. The old skin are all peeled off to make room for a new one. Do not go out without your sunblock which is included in the set. I advise you to also wear a face mask to hide the redness and peeling. Don't forget your umbrella also if you're commuting. You will feel a little bit feverish too because the peeling off stage gives you a hot feeling. If this symptom occurs, give yourself a time off. Do not use the toner this time. After you wash your face, when it dries, do not use the toner this time now and apply directly the cream. The toner contains a strong ingredient to peel off the skin and in my case, I don't want to punish myself that much by following everything. I know my limitation. 

6. After two weeks, you will notice that your face starts to feel supple, less visible pores, and pimples have dried up. In some cases, pimple will start to breakout from your skin. This is normal because the product is pressuring the pimples not yet ready to come out to breakout soon. The product pulls out the pimples hiding under your skin. So, relax again and appreciate the ugliness of your face every time you look into the mirror. LOL! 

7. Maybe a month have passed and your rejuvenating set is almost empty or already empty. Noticed that there's no more stingy feeling, redness is less visible and peeling off is less or gone. What do you think of your face now? In my case, it's so soft to touch, less pimple breakout though sometimes there are still breakouts because I have hormonal acne. 1 week before my period, there's 3 or more pimples on my face but while using the rejuvenating set, I have none, to one or two pimples breakout so far and they're not that huge unlike before. 

8. When you're all done with the rejuvenating set, head to the next step which is the clarifying set. This set is less harsh compared to the toner included in the rejuvenating set. I like the smell of the toner too. Less peeling also. I noticed that the clarifying set will help you lighten your dark spots from pimple scars and I have lots of those on my face. It also whitens my face and no more stingy feel using the soap. It feels like it's not effective at all but it's working though in a less abrasive manner. You deserve it also. After all that peeling, redness, stingy feel you've experienced from the previous month. You need to take a break from those stuffs. Congratulations!! You have survived that beauty ordeal. It was all worth it after all. Looking at your beautiful, pimple free face is the best reward. The most important set is really the first one. There's not really much with the 2nd and 3rd set. For now, never feel lazy again. Start taking care of your skin religiously and do not take it for granted again. Always use sunblock, wear mask when it's dusty, and always bring your umbrella. The sun's damaging effect to our skin is real. Do not underestimate the damaging power of the sun. Eat less sugary foods also and more veggies to lessen pimple breakouts, exercise to detoxify and sleep early to heal your body. That's it!!!

Below is a timeline of my face before using Dr. Alvin's Professional Skin Care Formula. For more questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment below. Thanks for reading!!!

Photo Timeline
GT BLEACHING CREAM EFFECT DR. ALVIN PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE FORMULA REVIEW
I'm still using GT Bleaching cream at this photo but they're always out of stock. It was really effective then but the new formula is not that effective to my face anymore. I don't know what happened. So, in panic mode I need to find a new product with the same level of effectiveness to it. Photo taken around April 2015.

GT BLEACHING CREAM EFFECT DR. ALVIN PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE FORMULA REVIEW
May 22, 2015, my 29th birthday. Still using GT bleaching cream. I'm prone to dark spots because I love to scratch my face with my nails. Tsk!  (no filter)
June 03, 2015. Changed my hair color and scratched my face again. Still using GT cream. I told you I'm loyal to the product not until they've changed the formula.
July 3, 2015. Started using the rejuvenating cream set. Pimple breakouts everywhere.

August 15, 2015. Hormonal acne keeps coming back. Darn it! No product can stop my hormonal acne. LOL! The rejuvenating set did cleared up my pimple except on my period days.  

September 9, 2015. Months after using rejuvenating set. My friend's face is more radiant as ever. Ughh!!! I must maintain this set. I'm so jealous of her skin. She had lots of breakout under chin before but now, it's all gone. Damn!!! 
October 28, 2015. I used the rejuvenating set a couple of times after it's empty. One bottle is not enough for me. I'm starting to love my skin here. Before, even with make up on, my pimples are still visible. But look, it's better than ever. 
October 31, 2015 - November 1, 2015. My friend's face is really flawless and radiant than mine since she's using this ahead of me and I have combination skin also. Totally jealous. I wished I've used it earlier. LOL! 
January 8, 2016. Opt for bangs this new year.  I've stopped using the rejuvenating set for awhile 'coz I have no budget anymore. LOL! Unemployed student problem. No pimples here but my dark spots are clearly visible even with make-up on. After a few weeks, I can finally afforded the clarifying set (P280.00).

February 3, 2016. Photo taken using Asus Zenfone Selfie. I can't find a non-filtered photo during this month. I'm pretty sure I've started using the Clarifying set this time around. 

February 7, 2016. My face looks okay though oily but my concern is less pimple breakout.

February 16, 2016. Using only concealer to hide my dark spots. Don't be deceived by my Asus Zenfone Selfie. It will make you look spotless. One thing for sure, less breakout during this month. 
March 2, 2016. No make up on. No pimples but my dark spots are still there but if I use concealer, it's not visible anymore.
April 7, 2016. With good sleep and clarifying set, you will surely get radiant skin. There's hormonal breakout here but I love the brightness of my face.

 April 12, 2016 . I have this habit of scrubbing my face with my hands when I'm bored. Look!!! That's why I have lots of dark spots. Argghhh...My face feels itchy again. A pimple is going to break out again. Everyday is a struggle if you have adult acne but that doesn't mean you'll just give up.

April 27, 2016. I have less breakout now. Everyday is a struggle on my part 'coz I've developed a habit of scrubbing my face especially If there's a skin peeled off. You should refrain from doing this 'coz it can cause dark spots to your face. Tsk!


April 30, 2016. Just washed my face this time. No filter and no make up. Not bad eh? I'm happy and somewhat contented of the result.




*** I will make an update this month of May 2016. I will be using the MAINTENANCE SET combined with Dr. Vicky Belo Acne System later on***

I've tried products before which promises no redness, peeling, itchiness, and the stingy feel but they're all a downer, no visible effect. 

For first time users of the rejuvenating set, these are the effects you will encounter:

1. It seems like there's no effect for the first time using it. No stingy feeling unless you have open wounds from a pricked pimple. No redness yet but you will feel a little bit of itchiness. This means that the product is working. If you've tried the Glycolic treatment done by a professional, this feeling is nothing close to it. Glycolic acid treatment is just freaking painful. 

2. The second day, you will notice tightening of the skin. Your face may look shiny also. This is the sign of the inevitable skin peeling. If you are a first time user, like your face is still a virgin ( not tried any strong product before) then you will start to feel really scared. Relax, this is normal. Don't be paranoid.

3. On the third day, it will start to feel really itchy from the face to the neck area. Do not rub your face my friend. Stay away from the sun. You may look terrible now but hold on (tiis ganda eh). 

4. For people who have less tolerance to pain, I know every time you wash your face using the soap makes you cringe. The sting is hellish as f*ck! You may stop using the soap for a while and use Cetaphil instead. Cetaphil is very gentle to the skin. I know it's very expensive but you will have to invest on that thing to ease your pain. LOL! If you think the stingy feel subsides a little after a few days of using Cetaphil, use the papaya or glutathione soap again. 

5. For one week or more, the stingy feeling will magnify. This is because you're peeling off skin. The old skin are all peeled off to make room for a new one. Do not go out without your sunblock which is included in the set. I advise you to also wear a face mask to hide the redness and peeling. Don't forget your umbrella also if you're commuting. You will feel a little bit feverish too because the peeling off stage gives you a hot feeling. If this symptom occurs, give yourself a time off. Do not use the toner this time. After you wash your face, when it dries, do not use the toner this time now and apply directly the cream. The toner contains a strong ingredient to peel off the skin and in my case, I don't want to punish myself that much by following everything. I know my limitation. 

6. After two weeks, you will notice that your face starts to feel supple, less visible pores, and pimples have dried up. In some cases, pimple will start to breakout from your skin. This is normal because the product is pressuring the pimples not yet ready to come out to breakout soon. The product pulls out the pimples hiding under your skin. So, relax again and appreciate the ugliness of your face every time you look into the mirror. LOL! 

7. Maybe a month have passed and your rejuvenating set is almost empty or already empty. Noticed that there's no more stingy feeling, redness is less visible and peeling off is less or gone. What do you think of your face now? In my case, it's so soft to touch, less pimple breakout though sometimes there are still breakouts because I have hormonal acne. 1 week before my period, there's 3 or more pimples on my face but while using the rejuvenating set, I have none, to one or two pimples breakout so far and they're not that huge unlike before. 

8. When you're all done with the rejuvenating set, head to the next step which is the clarifying set. This set is less harsh compared to the toner included in the rejuvenating set. I like the smell of the toner too. Less peeling also. I noticed that the clarifying set will help you lighten your dark spots from pimple scars and I have lots of those on my face. It also whitens my face and no more stingy feel using the soap. It feels like it's not effective at all but it's working though in a less abrasive manner. You deserve it also. After all that peeling, redness, stingy feel you've experienced from the previous month. You need to take a break from those stuffs. Congratulations!! You have survived that beauty ordeal. It was all worth it after all. Looking at your beautiful, pimple free face is the best reward. The most important set is really the first one. There's not really much with the 2nd and 3rd set. For now, never feel lazy again. Start taking care of your skin religiously and do not take it for granted again. Always use sunblock, wear mask when it's dusty, and always bring your umbrella. The sun's damaging effect to our skin is real. Do not underestimate the damaging power of the sun. Eat less sugary foods also and more veggies to lessen pimple breakouts, exercise to detoxify and sleep early to heal your body. That's it!!!

Photo Timeline
GT BLEACHING CREAM EFFECT DR. ALVIN PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE FORMULA REVIEW
I'm still using GT Bleaching cream at this photo but they're always out of stock. It was really effective then but the new formula is not that effective to my face anymore. I don't know what happened. So, in panic mode I need to find a new product with the same level of effectiveness to it. Photo taken around April 2015.

GT BLEACHING CREAM EFFECT DR. ALVIN PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE FORMULA REVIEW
May 22, 2015, my 29th birthday. Still using GT bleaching cream. I'm prone to dark spots because I love to scratch my face with my nails. Tsk!  (no filter)
June 03, 2015. Changed my hair color and scratched my face again. Still using GT cream. I told you I'm loyal to the product not until they've changed the formula.
July 3, 2015. Started using the rejuvenating cream set. Pimple breakouts everywhere.

August 15, 2015. Hormonal acne keeps coming back. Darn it! No product can stop my hormonal acne. LOL! The rejuvenating set did cleared up my pimple except on my period days.  

September 9, 2015. Months after using rejuvenating set. My friend's face is more radiant as ever. Ughh!!! I must maintain this set. I'm so jealous of her skin. She had lots of breakout under chin before but now, it's all gone. Damn!!! 
October 28, 2015. I used the rejuvenating set a couple of times after it's empty. One bottle is not enough for me. I'm starting to love my skin here. Before, even with make up on, my pimples are still visible. But look, it's better than ever. 
October 31, 2015 - November 1, 2015. My friend's face is really flawless and radiant than mine since she's using this ahead of me and I have combination skin also. Totally jealous. I wished I've used it earlier. LOL! 
January 8, 2016. Opt for bangs this new year.  I've stopped using the rejuvenating set for awhile 'coz I have no budget anymore. LOL! Unemployed student problem. No pimples here but my dark spots are clearly visible even with make-up on. After a few weeks, I can finally afforded the clarifying set (P280.00).

February 3, 2016. Photo taken using Asus Zenfone Selfie. I can't find a non-filtered photo during this month. I'm pretty sure I've started using the Clarifying set this time around. 

February 7, 2016. My face looks okay though oily but my concern is less pimple breakout.

February 16, 2016. Using only concealer to hide my dark spots. Don't be deceived by my Asus Zenfone Selfie. It will make you look spotless. One thing for sure, less breakout during this month. 
March 2, 2016. No make up on. No pimples but my dark spots are still there but if I use concealer, it's not visible anymore.
April 7, 2016. With good sleep and clarifying set, you will surely get radiant skin. There's hormonal breakout here but I love the brightness of my face.

 April 12, 2016 . I have this habit of scrubbing my face with my hands when I'm bored. Look!!! That's why I have lots of dark spots. Argghhh...My face feels itchy again. A pimple is going to break out again. Everyday is a struggle if you have adult acne but that doesn't mean you'll just give up.

April 27, 2016. I have less breakout now. Everyday is a struggle on my part 'coz I've developed a habit of scrubbing my face especially If there's a skin peeled off. You should refrain from doing this 'coz it can cause dark spots to your face. Tsk!


April 30, 2016. Just washed my face this time. No filter and no make up. Not bad eh? I'm happy and somewhat contented of the result.




*** I will make an update this month of May 2016. I will be using the MAINTENANCE SET combined with Dr. Vicky Belo Acne System later on***

New SAT Concordance Tables

Note: I tweeted a link that was set up for mobile, and thus the visualization scrunched down to almost nothing.  If the URL has m=1 at the end, just delete it, or click on the title above to go to the desktop/iPad version.

The College Board just published long-awaited concordance tables to compare new SAT scores to old, and new SAT scores to ACT.

You can download the data here if you wish, or look at them visually below.  The tables in the data correspond to the tables on the visualization (that is, for instance, that Table 7 in the College Board worksheet can be viewed on Dashboard 7 here, using the tabs across the top.)

For convenience, Old SAT scores are always in light gray.  Notice also I've labeled the chart when the axes are not synchronized.

As this data is public, I have cited the original source, its purpose is educational, and this blog is not monetized, I believe the use of it in this format falls under Fair Use.

As always, hover over the dots for details.

Product Review: Electric Hairbrush Straightener

Hello! It's another day and another painstaking day to achieve straight non-frizzy looking hair. I already own 2 pieces of hair iron but I'm still on the search for an iron that would only take me a short time to straighten my super coarse and thick hair. While browsing through www.lazada.com.ph, I've seen this pink colored hairbrush that promises to straighten your hair in just a minute. I was being impulsive so I just let Lazada take my moneehhh baybeh!!! The product arrived in 5 days because I am living in the provincial part of the Philippines. I brought it for only P499.00 pesos. I saw someone selling this on Facebook shopping pages for P1000.00 and so, I thought it was a good buy. Anyway, here is my video trying the electric hairbrush straightener. What's the final verdict? Find it out!!! Don't worry the video only last 5 minutes. HAHA!




For those who don't want to watch the videos for personal reasons, read below.
  • I'm not really satisfied with the hairbrush. It didn't really straightened my hair. In my case, I want a sleek finish and this product did not deliver.
  • This hair tool won't work on kinky or super curly hairs. It's best for slightly wavy and thin hair. For coarse and thick hair like mine, it relaxed the strands only. 
  • It made my hair more frizzy. The product emits a moisture when heated and it made my hair really frizzy after using it.
  • The brush can't reach the hair roots part. If your curls starts from the hair roots, this product will disappoint you.
  • The hairbrush itself is very heavy. I'm struggling to hold it with my small hands. 
  • The power button is placed in an inconvenient way. In my case, I always accidentally turned the hair tool off. 
  • It took me more time to straightened my hair. The regular hair iron is much faster and effective in straightening your hair.
