I figured out something

First off,

I figured out something of Instagram when you log on thru their website (not from the App on your phone).

Remember last time I wanted to share with you guys a certain short clip I found on IG but wasn't able to upload the video here on blogspot?
Well,
I think I can now.

Let's do this.

When he was singing his line "be my darling, my darling~" he was so smiley. I'm melting 😆😆😆😆😆 *mimisan *pengsan *adekgakkuatbang cr: BunnyBoy_JK @dlstmxkakwldrl

Ok, you can't see this but the embedded copy has a lot of jargon and I prayed that it works.
coz I need it to work.
LOL
I need a post posted up tonight.
:P

*checked preview* *IT WORKS*

I hope it still works once I published this.

consider this a prologue to my next post. sorta.

ok. Bye

. . .


Edit 11:46pm: IT WORKS!

Come June

Hi guys.
I is back.

(a/n: this is just for the thumbnail :P)

I have plenty of updates which I will have to compose first.
I have them neatly sorted in my Blog Post folder. 

erm...yeah.its sorted in their respective folders

I hope I can start posting them by first week of Raya, which would be next week :P

Hwaiting me!

For now, I'm gonna update some of the things I've accomplished this year; read my mounting books that I bought but didn't bother to read yet.

I have read about 4 books since Nov 2017. 

• It's Kind Of A Funny Story by Vizzini - Nov 2017
• Five Days Left by Julie Timmer - Mar 2018
• More Than This by Patrick Ness - May 2018
• Carry On by Rainbow Rowell - May 2018

• Two of these have a very deep storyline/morale (Vizzini and Timmer). they both tackled Depression. as mentioned in my previous post, Timmer's was the hardest for me to read. 
• Ness's was *insert super confused meme here* I wondered if there's a sequel to this.
• Rowell's was easy to read (as do her other two books that I have read).

I still have tons (an exaggeration of course) to finish. I haven't bought any new book for two months now. yay for saving money and use them to buy things from Yesstyle LOL

exhibit A

exhibit B

exhibit C

I hope I can finish reading these before the year ends. 
I know I have read Twilight series on ebook before but since i bought the physical copies, I need to reread them again! 

I have 9 books that I bought like years ago and still haven't read until now. 
I read one of them when I first bought it but the storyline wasn't interesting, so I stopped.
So, I decided to just left this old purchased books left unread and try to donate them to a cafe or something. I know one cafe is accepting donation of books every now and then.

No one is forcing me to read all the books that I purchased. It's just how I feel about it, I bought them, so I should read them. I don't know if anyone ever thought of this but I feel like I'm neglecting my child when I left an old purchased unread as I read the new purchased first. or is that just me?

Also, recently, I finished reading a story on AFF, Water Lily by Peanutcupcake.
Check it out here.
I posted this last April where I read two chapters from this story. and I stopped. I began again last Saturday 2nd June night and finished like 5th June afternoon. (I know, what a slow reader). this is also the reason of my sleep deprivation.

argh. don't get me started with this. since it is posted in a fanfic website, I refused to call it a fanfic. because although kpop names are used, the characters are completely her own. the storyline doesn't even involve around music industry. IT'S. THAT. GOOD. 
Give this story some love and tell her Vengeance sent you ;)


anyway,
yeahh an update!

I will try and compose my posts by tomorrow night. 
hopefully I'm rajin. Coz I've been deprived of sleep for almost a week and I am in need to 'top up' my sleep. zZzzZ

. . .

Stop. That. Shit.

It's SHINee's comeback soon. and it's their 10th Anniversary too this month.

and everyone is like, "those who stan OT4 can choke".

Really?

can we stop this OT5 thing?

it's an insult

becoz SHINee is FIVE goes without saying.

so stop trying to shove that down everyone's throat.

We don't know how SHINee is feeling. but they gotta work and carry on with their lives.

they probably wanted Jonghyun there too just as we wanted him to

but reality is, he won't be. not physically.

and i hate seeing people editing pictures of OT4 with Jonghyun. it's like saying SHINee is not enough without Jonghyun.

give. it. a. rest.

give. Jonghyun. a. rest.

I'm not saying forget him. No.

I just want people to support wholeheartedly this OT4. showing them our utmost support. like Jonghyun did when he was alive.

I know our hearts gonna skip a beat when we see that MV with just the four of them but that doesn't mean you HAVE to edit Jonghyun in it.
Stop doing that shit.

It's offensive to the living.

I mean, I don't know what SHINee themselves are feeling but I would feel very insulted if people started cropping my dad's picture into our current family photos.

stop. that. shit.

I screenshot this after his album release last Jan and I was so pissed.

MV uploaded on 22nd Jan and screenshot this on Jan 25th.

so so so pissed.

where were you guys?

where was I?


I shouldn't be posting this kind of content anymore especially when its about supporting OT4.
but it pisses me off when people continue to edit in / cropping in Jonghyun in the new photos.

if you really do stand OT5, you don't need to do edits. you would have seen him in each of his bandmates. you would have seen him without the help of an edited photo.

stop. that. shit.

. . .

I understand that people grieve differently and I only apologize for how offended I was when I see those edited photos/drawings. 

double cleansing

May 19th, 2018 11:45am

Korean double cleansing method / routine.

I was looking for the comparison between

Son and Park Beauty Water

and

AHA/BHA Cosrx Toner.

I'm on the look out to buy new toner coz my current one is running low (well, not really, but soon).

So, I Googled but no one made that comparison, yet.

Then I Googled reviews for the Son and Park Beauty Water instead since I already put an order in my Yesstyle kart (I have seen so many times the hype of this product on IG and Facebook. I thought I'd give it a try). I just wanted to know for sure if I should be purchasing the Beauty Water or the Cosrx Toner.

So after reading one of the review here (its kinda a little bias review in my opinion), I understand the function of the Beauty Water and set on buying one next week on payday.
Also, while reading, I came across the term 'double cleansing'.
My curiosity cat got the best of me, thus I Googled that too.

Read Here

AND!

*MIND BLOWN*

I got that sense of deja-vu / wakeupcall / shook / totalrecall you name it, I had it!

Flashback!

Masa awal2 I owned  a BB cushion, I used it on a daily basis, maybe for a week before (you've guessed it) I became lazy. LOL.
So for that one week, as soon as I got home, I would start to prep my mind about cleaning my face. thoroughly. (Yes. I'm that lazy that doing this extra cleaning of my face after makeup session had me prepping my mind first before I prep for the pyhsical cleaning things LOL!)

• Step 1 - Remove make-up with cleansing cream. apply generously on skin and massage gently for a couple of minute and once done, wipe off face with tissue.
• Step 2 - wash face normally with water. you know, that normal thing we do to clean our face on the daily.
• Step 3 - dry face, apply essence-toner-cream.
• Done

NOTE: this is my normal practice ever since I know how to put on make-up even if its just a BB cream. I especially have to do this extra-extra cleansing after full on make-up by MUA for an event or function, etc.

At that time, I always thought to myself, "I like it when I wear make-up, coz my skin become clear with all these cleansing" and I can see it too. how clear my skin was getting.

My skin is a combination of oily and acne prone, so when I said clear, I mean very VERY clear looking skin.

but as you already know, I am not rajin with using daily makeup!

I hate the idea of cleaning my face SO thoroughly. 

it's tiring and toooo much work!

End of Flashback.

SO, as I came across this double cleansing method today, I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!

I DID DOUBLE CLEANSING WHEN I WEAR MAKEUP!

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY MY SKIN FEELS SO GREAT AFTER THAT HARD WORK OF CLEANING SO THOROUGHLY!

I UNDERSTAND NOW!

meaning,

I can just do my 'thoroughly cleaning my face after using makeup' routine on a daily basis even when I dont wear makeup.

argh

you mean to say! I could have gotten a glass glow dewy skin like 5-6 years ago when I first came across cleansing cream from Holika-Holika?!

i am so pissed right now, I laughed like crazy.

hahaha

the Holika Holika cleansing cream, the daily garden one.

at that time, I only ever thought about how great it was as a makeup remover. the best EVER! I especially love how they 'melts' waterproof mascara and remove them with just a few swipes after I left the cream on my lashes for couple of minutes.

I also once bought this cleansing balm. this one is pretty thick, the texture is like vaseline only slightly lighter than.

Gonyak Soft Moisture Cleansing Balm

but at the time of purchase, i wasn't so rajin wearing makeup thus this one just sat there in my drawer most of the time, regrettably, until expired :S

The Face Shop has a similar products

Herb Day Cleansing Cream, in Green Tea

(this has four flavors apparently; Green Tea, Aloe, 5 Combined Cereal, and Fruit Mix.)

which I'm currently using for removing my make up. just as BEST! as the Holika Holika's one.

sigh

I could have gotten a glass dewy skin look by now~

ah well

Now that I know about this, I'm gonna make a new routine;

Cleansing cream - facial wash - essence - toner - cream.

Korean flawless glass dewy skin, here I come!

a/n: images borrowed via Google.com

. . .

I realized I've posted 3 skin care routine and products posts with no picture of my face to show the before and after differences.
I need to be a better blogger.

LOL!

and after proofreading this the third time, I never actually done any reading on the Cosrx Toner. LOL!

hashtag so much for trying to find comparison!

Make-Up Brushes meets my mom

So this afternoon I went to a cousin's Khatam Al-Quran
and I wore makeup.
Because,
I wana be purrtty.
hahaha

NO,
I wore makeup on weekends coz I need to use my makeup things before they expire.
1. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis
2. I try to wear makeup whenever the occassion calls for it. a.k.a. when I'm not lazy.

here's how I looked tadi

and
here's what I did a few hours later

cleaning my makeup brushes arah sink kitchen. :P

and my mom checked on what I was doing and asked, "apakan ni?"

I'm guessing she actually knew but wondered why they looking like that (I know my mom used to wear makeup too from her old pictures)?

and I answered her, "make up brushes"

She paused and checked some more and finally said, "banyak jua brushes" and walked away.

I frowned and looked at my brushes.

Yeah, I do have many. when in reality, I only ever use maybe 4 of them. LOL

I do used all of them every other time coz I need to know their functions. and to do that, I need to experiment by using them. hence, the cleaning.

I bought the brush soap/cleaner from Daiso, Miri. it works well.

in the beginning I used hand soap to clean my brushes. that worked o.k. too. I don't think it really matters what soap you use as long as it is not laundry detergent LOL

the rose amd wand brushes are from storybookcosmetic.com but you should know, these style of wand brushes no longer available. however, they do sale other style of wand brushes and just as precious to own. Go check them.

the wood-handled brushes are from the Face Shop.

anyway,

Point of this Post?

No point.

LOL

I just find it funny the way my mom asked and wondered what late bloomer I was.

HAHAHAHA
