Bare Escentuals, Cupcakes, and Macaroons

Heyou!


Time is free, but it is priceless. You cannot own it, but you can use it. You cannot keep it, but you can spend it. Once you have lost it, you can never get it back. -Harvey MacKay


While I was searching for the perfect quote that would describe how fleeting time is for my previous post, I stumbled upon this quote that talks about how precious time is. I cannot help but feel a surge of emotions on how uselessly spent my previous year was. All I could focus on was on how brief time was and how I was wasting it by not doing something important, finding excuses every time trying to justify on how I have spent my years. I have so many regrets and such that sometimes it is just too depressing to think about. However, I cannot help but smile when I take a look at the bigger picture of how everything has laid itself out almost perfectly. After reading this quote and dismissing it, I unknowingly was affected because I decided to pause for awhile and start to appreciate time. I decided to watch Breakfast At Tiffany's, hence the background music, wherein I found myself happy and at peace - even though momentary. I honestly relate to Holly, and you can ask my brother because he got so bored yesterday that he watched the movie with me and he remarked on how similar me and Holly are personality wise. I shall explain that soon, hopefully if I remember on another post. Of course, I had to watch Breakfast At Tiffany's with cupcakes and macaroons just because. After watching this movie, I feel renewed and happy. Watch me world!

Acnetrex Week 3-4

Heyou!


I never thought that I would say this, but time sure does fly fast. Ever since I began my fervent battle against acne, the world around me kept spinning and spinning, while time just stood still. I started to go numb, unaware of my surroundings just seeing everything as mundane. Forgive me if I sound like a superficial shallow piece of airhead but honestly, I was not born this way (hello Lady Gaga!). I was born with perfect porcelain skin that was aesthetically beautiful to me. Then came that wretched year where my face started to look like a war zone, I did not know what to do or what I am supposed to do because as I have said before, I did not grow up with this. It is like one day I woke up and I look like how I look like now. You now what call me mean or whatever but I am just being as honest as possible because when people say that acne inflicted people are still beautiful that beauty starts disappearing because the confidence level drops. How can you seriously feel beautiful when in you very heart and soul you know that something is wrong. I hate it when people say that you still look beautiful or you could not even notice it when, um hello! You can find the pimple everywhere in my face. The pity they feel for you, you feel yourself. It is just honestly difficult. You sort of do not know what to do with your life, especially me that I just started college last year because I could not get my mind straight because all I could think about were this friggin pimple inhabiting my face! My grades dropped, my social skills faltered, and myself lost. Great!

Hong Kong Haul 3: Blue and Whites

Heyou!


Finally, the last of my Hong Kong haul. You have no idea how free and relieved I feel because this apparently three-part haul is done. I just feel a sense of euphoria for being able to finally accomplish this because believe it or not, I just felt a sense of duty to finish this as soon as possible without sacrificing my work ethics which is to post only when I feel like posting. Overall, this has been a great three-part post and I cannot wait to do it some time again in a somewhat hopefully distant future because as of now I just want to relish the feeling of freedom. From today until I guess another travel, I will be posting fewer stuff and maybe start posting as to how I would wear my clothes and whatnots. Since school is about to start, I do not know if I'll be able to post this much stuff again for the mean time. I will be posting more local goods of cheaper prices since I have to allocate my allowance and rarely I think will I be able to go out with my mum because I expect school to be sorta hectic for this semester. Anyway, I still have around three weeks before school starts so enough about that and more about my happy hauls.

Hong Kong Haul 2: Pink and Greys

Heyou!


Honestly, I do not know where to start because I plan to start this post sometime around soon. As to when that "soon" is, I have no idea. Then again, life really is full of surprises and for some weird reason God must want me to type this now so He made my internet a lot slower than usual. Case in point is that I never have to wait for a really long time to be able to watch my streaming videos properly. Yet, today I have waited for a very long time. Applaud me for doing every possible procrastination available on the internet that interests me because right now I am left with nothing but my ever reliable blog. So I decided that instead of procrastinating any longer, I would just type it down now rather than going through MS Word and whatnots. Pardon me if my grammar is off today. Do not take me wrong though, I do not think of my blog as unimportant rather a piece of me that I do when I feel like doing it. Amen!

Hong Kong Haul 1: Beauty and School Stuff

Heyou!


Last May 17, 2011 I finally arrived in Manila along with my haul-filled-luggage, and I could not be any more pleased with the stuff I bought (well, my mum paid for). This will be the first of either three or four haul posts about my Hong Kong shopping trip because I got quite a number of items. It did not feel right for me to compress all of the stuff I got into one post because it is as if I was not doing them justice. Anyway, I will not be so wordy writing about this and that and whatnots because I honestly think there is nothing much to say. So, enjoy!


Acnetrex Week 1-2

Heyou!


Confession time! I actually wrote this on May 10, 2011 along with this other post. I wanted to post a review about my Acnetrex journey after two weeks that ends May 11, 2011; but I was sure that if I wrote it on the 11th - scratch that there was no way in the world that I would be able to finish, hell start writing it on the 11th. So I wrote this on the 10th but posted this today, the 11th. I have a pretty good reason though, wait for it, wait for it… BOOM! I am off to Hong Kong today. Just to make things clear ‘today’ means May 11, 2011.

What Was Supposed To Be A Laura Mercier Quick Buy...

Heyou!


18! I finally turned 18 last May 7! Wohoo! I waited for 18 years (no duh!^_^) to eventually be a ‘legal in this and that’ person. Unfortunately though, if you asked me what in the world that means I would have quipped that I too have no idea. Anyway, I had a happy day and that was what matters most to me.


My Kiehl's Haul

Heyou!

For almost a year now, I am battling moderate-severe acne. I have tried everything. Yes, I mean everything. From Proactive to laser and peel treatments and whatnots that seem to have little to no effect on my skin; save for roaccutane because my mum forbids me to take it because of the side effects. However, my guy friend who takes roaccutane is now a proud owner of one of the most gorgeous skin. Gee… I just have to point out that I personally think that this is so sexist because my mum reasons that men cannot conceive and that women can, wherein taking roaccutane will harm the baby. Seriously?! I mean I do not even have any plans to conceive or something yet. Ugh! On a side note, I think that it is such a wonderful gift and a blessing towards women and that I would love to get pregnant after say, late twenties to early thirties.

HEYOU! YES YOU!



HEYOU!

From now on, every time you visit this blog ‘heyou’ is the word that greets you- unless for some weird reason or something. I do not know whether someone has used it before or what, but I pinky promise you that I am not plagiarizing it from anyone. Instead, I assure you that it comes from my super creative and funny *o.O* brain that thought the word ‘heyou’, which is ‘hey’+’you’, is so cleverly made. Therefore, please bear with me and say, “Yes princess tumbleweed! Heyou is the most awesomest word!!!”
