Been a long time since I had a post.. have been procastinating much. Anyway, I had my travel dose after 4 months since I last left the country. This time is to visit Sabah.
Sabah is one of the countries that's hard for me not to love.. slower paced than most cities; great food; beautiful nature and less densed population. Their beaches are filled with blue sea.. and the sand so soft that you can fall asleep listening to the crashing of the waves!
Usually I focus more on malay wedding videos, but this is 1 of philipines most beautiful actress: Kristine Hermosa of pangako sayo fame for those who remembered.. Loved how effortlessly elegant she looked..
Had a laugh out loud, jaw numbing and cramp inducing conversation otw home today.. it was abt how it was like in skool when we were growing up..
when:
> coolest school shoes were owning ONLY converse
> Pagers were all the rage.. and we are talking abt the non-alphanumeric ones..and how we self-messaged ourselves with.. 1 177155 4 (I miss you); 173110 (hello); 143 (i love you)
> wearing criss cross pants were hip
> not going home to watch your bf play footie after school
> discmans were the company in buses to school!
> having a 'god brother' or 'god sister' in the upper secondary when you were in lower secondary...
I think it is so funny and scary when time is so transient. It almost just flew by together with all the changes it brought along!
I've had the problem of make up sliding my skin just more than an hour since Ive applied it. Especially so in a climate like ours.. warm and humid. After trying so many gel/creme/liquid type of oil control/mattifying/ base or whatever you name it, I was already desperate! Oil blotters were probably invented for pple like me!
So, I was pretty keen to try out this spray which is different from the others in terms of methods of application.
- spray after your skin care regime BEFORE you put on your make up (like a base). - Again, spray AFTER you have completed your make up (to set it).
The product claims to be able to pull off 16 shine free hours, but as we all know, every skin is subjective. This UD product did manage to keep my make up from sliding off my face the moment it has been applied, but I did not manage to remain shine free for a solid 16 hours. Overall, I am quite pleased with it as it did not cause any breakout when I started using it and my make up was still somewhat intact despite it being slightly shiny after 4 hours of application. Not bad I'd say!
- price of UD's de slick is ard 40+ SGD - should be able to last ~2 mths on daily usage. - I purchased mine from the local sephora
Hope my review was helpful for the shiny ladies out there!
I know that most (if not all) of us are already infatuated with Nadia & Hamzah's reception video.. well, if that's not enough.. their pre-wedding video shoot is also something that is out of the ordinary and spectacular. I pray long and hard each day that my wedding will bring that much joy preparing as well.
According to the blog stat, the last I posted was on e 5/5/09..which makes my post today more than a yr later. And for good reason too.
I think in maintaining a blog, one has to decide the level of privacy the blog dictates. As for me, I stil want some of that privacy even though some may argue that what kind of privacy are there when your thoughts are penned on the internet.
The significance of the date today is related to the fact that my long term ex bf is finally married. With that being said, the term EX should reflect that he belongs rightfully in my past. However, being a woman, I do let things get the better of me at times and somehow his marriage today has affected me more than I would care to admit.
I am 25 this year, and to most people now, age are just barely numbers. However, for some reason I cannot fathom, the fact that he is now married has now made me feel so horrible today. Why you may ask .. well.. let's see:
1. I am 25 and his wife is younger than me and she is already married! 2. Does not help that my OWN friend thinks I'm a spinster (not that it is so fantastic that he is a cheating asshole himself!). 3. I am at that point of time where most if not all of my friends are already engaged/married. 4. I guess I still worry if what I will have will be better than what I shared with him. 5. He's a great guy therefore there is always the trouble of measuring against the yardstick.
Truthfully, I am worried for much deeper reasons than those but I am trying to get a hold of myself and not let my mind go into overdrive. Let's just pray that since he is happy now, maybe I would then benefit from it too.
Orange. Is it part of the rainbow? I can't remember and honestly, I can't be bothered. This days my life are work-school-home or home-school-home or home-work-home. Whatever it is, I miss my non existential social life!
I am a dull Jane. And it is not helped by the swine flu. Everyday is update and I'm walking around with itching skin. Yucks! I'm breaking out thanks to all the flu. And no doubt abt it, when everything is trying to be sterile and stringent, I get sick. Was down with stomach flu, the whole of the long weekend.
As if the whole flu thingy is not bad enough, we don't even have students anymore!
And to top it all of. The emperest asked me 'eh Khadijah, I wanna send u to Australia for ur degree next yr. wan?'
Argh. U cannnot imagine how much I was kicking myself. I so hate studying part time.
