♥;
Faith is all that we needed. 

My reflections on August 18 & 19, 2010. 



Trials and tribulations, through and through,
Inside, i fight a waged battle.
I think, but I dare not speak.
Thoughts are befuddled.

Discontent, our brows furrow,
And descend, my trickles of sorrow

Disheartened we shall not be
As we hold onto love's string,
A string of faith
We will fight through this struggle.
The course of love,
It never runs smooth,
That's what makes it all so special.

♥; Angry!!!
This is gonna be a PMSRanty-full post so PLEASE leave before you burn.

Idk what has gone wrong with the world. Or how social cultures have evolved. But SHIT, this ain't good. I have no mood to type in coherent sentences cuz imma BURST any second.

I can't stand:

People who just LOVE Attention
People who talk to you. But 90% of the focus is on them.
People who can't stay SINCERE and FAITHFUL
People who lie to their other halves. And never change.
People who stand STUBBORNLY on their stance, but it's all wrong.... it's alllll wronnnggg
People who have complicated flings here and there and think of those as "someone to accompany me when i'm lonely"
People who are IRONIC
People who have the underlying belief that relationships are disposable and make people perceive otherwise.
People who have always wanted to f*** your bestfriend ever since they started dating you but never got the nerve to tell you and guess what, you'll never know too.
People who use another just for their own convenience and does not even have the tendency to pretenddd to involve them in their own conversations.




It's a SADDD world out there. =(

♥; The giving tree
A story i like very much. By Shel Silverstein.






Once there was a tree.

and she loved a little boy.

And every day the boy would come

and he would gather her leaves

and make them into crowns and play king of the forest.

He would climb up her trunk

and swing from her branches

and eat apples.

They would play hide-and go-seek.

And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.

The boy loved the tree very much,

And the tree was happy.

But time went by.

And the boy grew older.

And the tree was often alone.

Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said,

"Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches

and eat apples and play in my shade and be happy."

"I am too big to climb and play."

"I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money.

Can you give me some money?" said the boy.

"I am sorry. But I have no money." said the tree.

"I have only leaves and apples. Boy, take my apples, and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and will be happy."

So the boy climbed up the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away.

And the tree was happy.

But the boy stayed away for a long time, and the tree was sad.

And then one day the boy came back.

and the tree shook with joy and she said,

"Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy."

"I am too busy to climb trees," said the boy.

"I want a house to keep me warm, and I want a wife and children,

so I need a house. Can you give me a house?"

"I have no house," said the tree.

"The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house."

"Then you will be happy."

And so the boy cut off her branches and carries them away to build his house.

And the tree was happy.

But the boy stayed away for a long time.

And when he came back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak.

"Come, Boy," She whispered "Come and play"

"I am too old and sad to play," said the boy.

"I want a boat that will take me far away from here. Can you give ma a boat?"

"Cut down my trunk and make a boat." said the tree.

"Then you can sail away... and be happy."

And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away.

And the tree was happy... but not really.

And after a long time the boy came back again.

"I am sorry, but I have nothing left to give you … My apples are gone."

"My teeth are too weak for apples," said the boy.

"My branches are gone, you cannot swing on them -"

"I am too old to swing on branches," said the boy.

"My trunk is gone, you cannot climb -"

"I am too tired to climb," said the boy.

"I am sorry," sighed the tree.

"I wish that I could give you something...

but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry..."

"I don't need very much now, just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired." said the boy,

"Well," said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could,

"Well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down and rest."

And the boy did.

And the tree was happy.



I love this story. It's seemingly simple, yet touchingly portrays the unconditional love we have for the ones we care and (sadly) human's growing tendencies to want better and better things in life. We quest for bigger and better things and take for granted the offerings of our loved ones.
And most if not all of the time, they're the ones who stand by us, no matter how we treat them.

On another note, having just read Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road", i feel like confinement to a solitary place is just.... prison. It IS an open road out there. I agree yet disagree with it, maybe because SOMEONE adheres with Whitman's perspective so well and i just don't want him to leave ;"(

A good compromise, Live it, but at the end of the day, return to our loved ones, just like the Tree and the Little boy?

I don't think yal know what i'm blabbering about here, le sigh. Anyways, enjoy the story:)

♥; You think you do...
Sometimes you feel sif you've fallen into this whirlwind of mishaps, sunk so low you can barely see a skint of sunshine. Then, it comes. The saviour. Whatever it might be.

A hand gleaming with glitterati, offering you a lift from the well of darkness.

You smile.

Just when you think you've seen a light of hope, thunder comes and washes all the glitter down your drain

♥; Hand me a bag
I guess fooling around lurking in cyberspace does make one feel better, especially reading lame jokes from various sites :)

Azi gave a lame yo mama joke in msn tonight. I didnt get to join in the conversation cuz i was away.
-Yo mama's so fat, it takes 4 days to go around her waist


XP


Ahhhh i want a vintage distressed/crushed leather handbag!! Or a suede one. Like Loewe's 'Tierra 49' bag....Rock & Roll baby. Or another casual like LV Noe.. in red!! T T

On the other hand, i'd also want a prim and proper handbag. 2.55 .. my ultimate love. I will get you someday.
I'd like to see myself as a mature, elegant, refined, and definitely more independent young lady when i wear it in the future:> ( writing this vision makes me wanna laugh, with the rate i swear at the moment, but hey, a dream for a dream:>)

Hell, in my dreams i'll have All the variations of the classic flapbag AND the Reissue. lmao.

I definitely think all of us should dress age appropriately, physically And cognitively. Sometimes, when i see people that are Blinded by brand names and go into a brand frenzy, whether (unnecessarily) showcasing their status or wealth or whatnots, or even some who know minimum information about a certain products but try to showoff either way, I really want to shake my head.

Hmm, about the abovementioned, im sorry if i have offended anyone, but as i said, this is MY SPACE (my space lmao, which reminds me, i joined myspace just to stalk Cyril Takayama and I havent stalked him like in a year i'm such a failure boohoo) and i'm entitled to my opinions.

Wtf why am i digressing, my main point is. I need a bag. Good night

♥; What i am feeling + What i perceive of some
Sometimes... you feel as if nobody understands you, not even yourself.
Sometimes... you feel as though nothing is right.
Sometimes... it really feels as if nobody knows what you want, as if you're at war with yourself.
Sometimes... you just don't know what you want.
Sometimes... it just feels as though the world is angry with you and decided not to make your day.


Just a small piece of my mind. Sometimes, people do get all over themselves with their problems. That is All they talk about. I guess underneath it all, we're all just insecure beings, seeking for the answers we want to hear, for the empathy, for the shared pain we go through, for the condolences and support. However, no matter what people say, for the most, decisions for the actions that we want to take depends on ourselves; sometimes, it just clicks into place just like that.


I got this excerpt from someone's blog. Hope she doesn't mind me putting this here

Now that i am single, i am able to view and think from a single-mind hood and it makes me realized how woman can be so annoying, so demanding, so unreasonable so not understanding at all and at times. Especially the ones that are attached. Their current actions reflects a mirror of me in the past. I can totally feel it in their shoes why such actions are portray. Sometimes i feel sad for those woman who carries this kind of weak actions. Past experience help me understand why and how. And you will be a much better understanding person, friend, girlfriend, or wife to that someone that matters in your life.


This is exactly the person i am turning into. Every single advice i have given and have visioned from the stance of Singlehood have now turned their backs on me. I've turned into this easily agitated weakling who feels overwhelmed by emotions.
To comfort myself, one thing that i always tell people:
Everything's just a phase. Phases come and go. The good ones we keep in memory.


I hope bad times like this (it's ALL in the name of PMS. god!) fly fast. I want beautiful beautiful memories. And I want to be able to dwell industriously into many many other future undertakings too! Ganbarisu!!!!!!!






This song has been playing in my playlist of late. Doesn't relate to anything in particular, i just like it a lot and started listening to it again.

♥; 904
11 days without seeing koibito, i finally get to see him tonight! (Sunday for half an hour doesn't count =3=)

I got souveneirssss. Yay. So surprised...
Ok, i actually got him a very specific list of what to buy and he screwed it up lolss.

I wanted some tops from Dorothy Perkins which i lovelovelove and can't get enough of but the designs i wanted are all sold out!

This one i didnt expect. (another) perfume :)




Escada Sunset Heat



I would go for Moschino I lovelove or Dior Addict Shine (<3<3<3) but i told him Dior HIGH SHINE instead hahaha wtf!!! Like that also can mess up T T

Anyways, Sunset Heat has top notes of a cocktail of lemon, papaya with pineapple mousse, mango sorbet and refreshing water melon accords and base notes of sandalwood, coconut and hibiscus. The dominant scent that lingers on is Mangoooo:) Although i don't like mango as a fruit or drink. Yechh. I love its tangy aroma! I got to eat Mango pudding with evaporated milk at Fo Tang today and it's soo good. Ok, digressing

*Back.
I usually go for sweet and powdery perfumes with a not too overwhelming frutiy scent and this is just the thing:)

The only downer is that the fragance doesn't last, not at all :/ I put some on 2 hours ago and now, there's just a bare hint of scent left, barely.

Wiell, at least today is better than yesterday, which sucked :(
I think i should venture off and search for the purpose of my life T T













Definitely not this

♥; Calm, poise, and balance baby
Karma gets to everyone.

Asnah mentioned to the prof comm students that she used to be a very good speller until she laughed at her then boyfriend when he spelt "busy" as "buzy". lol. sounds a tad ridiculous but really, when you feel you're losing you're touch or having that sulky day, it may just be Karma getting back at you.

My goal now is to up my Patience, and decrease my sensitivity to things i hear.

Sometimes i think i TTM. The first T here is central. That's what gets you the ignominies you're trying to steer clear of.

Anyway, as long as you have the patience and the immunities to negativities. All is good man.. All is good.

♥; Back from Singapore + Thoughts
OKAY. this post was written on 17th July but i didn't post it just yet cuz i haven't taken any pictures of the products. Well i cbf right now cuz i'm not in a good mood. Product photos shall hence be extracted from Google lol.

........................................................................................................................................................................................

Promised myself no more hauls, just "needs", but temptation got the better of me.

I got myself this!!



Remember i was raving about Benetint? Well, Posietint might just actually be my new HG.
I always thought it was too cutesy and dollish (ergh). And the pink hue..no, shade, would make my skin tone look more yellowish. Well, Peiz and the (so pretty) SA was firm in their choice of Posietint for me.and i had no choice but to buy it wtf. I haven't mastered using it on the cheeks, just the lips, and it's a kind of colour you can't achieve by mixing lippies. :)
Btw,the SA was using Dallas ( i think) on her cheeks and it looks superb, very peachy/coral-ish glow!



I was showing my new toy to Koibito and asked him how much did he think it cost?

"so cute. $8.90?"

-.- Guyss~~


And.. and.. after an eternity of contemplating, i finally got it wtf


TADAHH!!


Fyi: In relation to my query, the SA said that the Lash Beautifying Mascara Frame Plus and Lash Expander Frame Plus are the same^ ^

My take: it really DOES lenghthen wtf but loses out on volume. Use it with a mascara base it'll be perfect!


All in all, it was a very fun trip thanks to KF, ZH, and definitely PEIZ!!
She is the PERFECT shopping mate oh my god.
I don't feel comfortable when people wait on me while i do my "hunting", yes.. i'm a hunter :), so normally i just don't shop as much because i don't want people to feel bored.

Well, Peiz not only does not show bored faces, we have so much fun shopping and she even grabs me stuff that i've missed out. Plus, she knows my Taste!!!

Definitely no situations like this:

ME: (with ecstatic face) " What do you think of this outfit on me??"

COMPANY: " Hmm. your style loh"


LOL


Each morning i wake up to fun and laughter and teasing. Mostly on KF. haha. poor KF. ZH hid his pants while he was in the shower XP

And sometimes one of them would try to open the shower door while another was showering. lmao

Or have you seen a big grown man scream his lungs out upon seeing a cockroach then with one shuddering whack, the unbeatable cockroach dies? Hahahha


What about PREP time! Makeup + outfit. :D i'm usually the slowest idk why lol

Peiz can be really really fast in prepping, but she can also TAKE HER TIME.

Once, she started at 1230 and only finished prepping by 3.30. I Dare you to take this challenge



~*Pictures*~


I love this pic.



FIn fin!


Clubbing! got champagne from a Hottie :)


Had extensions! $1 per strand!!!


His hair is so cute :)




Been partying much.




718


723, Wonder Boi's bday!


And yesterday, where i "looked like you were dyeing, i was so worried", quoted by Tham. hahaha.
It feels good to be back on the radar, but .... Jacqueliquor is DOWN. no more alcohol!

.....................................................................................................................................................................................


Ok. work done.

Now for my real thoughts.. well.. they're kind of messed up actually.
I don't even know what to write.

Sometimes, we look into details, scrutinize everything.
But sometimes, we miss out on even the most important matter, happiness
When do you put too much effort? And when is it time to let go.
Sometimes, you feel like fate plays with your feelings,
One minute you're on the top of the world, and the next, lost in confusion.
Doing, saying, things that hurt your loved one, and yourself
Things that you don't even mean.
Seems like the it's the devil that's playing with your thoughts.
But you tell yourself, i can't let this be.
The inner rebel is going to fight against the devil's meddle
Challenges behold, she's a fighter.
