"Living Each Single Day"

Okay, I sounded desperate in my last post and the truth is, I admit I am. But I believe that in every difficulty that we face, we come out of it stronger, wiser and better. It gives me the opportunity to review how things are going for me and what I did in the past, in a moment of folly, that made me forget about what I have pledged to do in order to make things right, for material gains instead. If the cause of my misery, is because of this, I will not repeat the same mistake and will open my heart and my eyes more and believe that material goods, such as new bags, new shoes or makeup, can only make you a beautiful person on the outside. I must strive to be as beautiful as I am outside (though I beg to differ on that) as I am on the inside. I aim for a more enriched yet simple life of which the needs for new shoes and bags cannot compromise for. Of course, if I really need a new bag coz my bag is all worn out and there happened to be a bag DYING to be bought because it is on a huge...

The thing about money is that sometimes you have, sometimes you don't. It's really hard to save when I'm the only income earner and I don't get to save much and even if I get to save, I always have to make use of them coz money is never enough for me, no matter how much I have. So, in a way, I couldn't care less already because whatever money I have, it will surely be spent and mind you, it's not on me entirely but mainly for my family. But it's okay. I always feel that when you do good, things will get better someday. You will never find yourself in difficult situations all the time. Of course when you do, you can only hope for the best, try to find the best solutions, even if it is not going to be easy, and then wait for the time when things get better. I've worked out a budget plan, while showering no less, that will allow me to minimize my bill payments up to  when I get my mid year bonus in July of which it has been announced through media today....

I want to name this blog post as Bronze Goddess but then again, I know I will only just deliver empty promises for those who wish to be one, ha!  Anyway, if you go to youtube and pick up tips from the beauty gurus and if you pick up your local magazine, the 'in' thing now is to look right for summer. Yes of course Singapore doesn't have summer but currently in our hot weather, we are perpetually hot, even at night :S Who cares about not having the four seasons! So back to topic. The hot beauty product right now is of course bronzer, that will give you the sun kissed look as though you have been standing under the hot summer weather. A bronzer can also help to contour your face shape especially around your cheekbone area, under your chin, the top of your forehead and along the side of your nose. Phewh...might as well apply it around your face and that's that, right? NO! You don't want to look unnaturally tanned...or uhm...dirty. I have provided links below t...

I won't say I'm smart because the truth is that I may not be able to hold a strong viewpoint in a stand off against someone with strong opinions. But I get irked easily and can say my blood comes to a boiling point when I listen or read about people's homophobic rants or insensitive opinions on race and religion, for instance. Bigotry is alive people. They may think of themselves as smart but I just feel that they are at best being cocky and narrow minded. I read about one person's homophobic rant on facebook before and it was truly TRULY condemning. Look, we may not agree with their lifestyle but don't treat them as though they are different species or from different planets. Coming from a minority race, it is already bad enough how the majority race looks at us sometimes as not worthy or troublemakers. And then there you are, displaying such vile form of bigotry on facebook on these people like it's their fault AIDs exist. But in some countries, bigotry ...

Recently, my mum went to a wedding of one of her ex neighbours from kampung or village back in her childhood days. The daughter of one of the siblings got married. My mum kept talking about them up until now like it's my greatest interest of the world. But I am just trying to be a daughter with a listening ear. After her health crisis last year, I try my very best to listen to her. I know how it is like losing a parent and my biggest regret was treating him like a stranger when he was very sick. For my mum's case, she is very neurotic. It is not easy entertaining her mood swings and constantly listening to her self assurance when things don't go right because she is also stubborn enough to not listen to me. When she's pissed, she's pissed and I have to listen to her plethora of mood swings until she calms down herself. One of her pet peeves is not being paid attention to. And since I am too tired to go into arguments with her because she can really be so long winded...

Ok, I admit I like this erm..how do I write this down gently without stirring any pots, adult film star, heh. I think I talked about him yonks ago but I just think he is good looking and super sweet, (ok fine, he has a nice BoDy too...) and he gets sweeter and sweeter every passing year. I enjoy reading his blog and he writes really well. I admit I have NEVER watched any of his adult videos, except him acting in one of the lame comedy movies, but his website also served as a place to view his er..adult videos, where access to them will require paid membership. Therefore, after reading and then feeling good, suddenly there is this flash of ad in the next instance which will show him and his goody, if you know what I mean :S See, it's not easy to write out this post! I just feel that he is very down to earth despite his rough upbringing where his parents didn't really care about him at all. While he has the option to stray and lead a drug saddled life, he counts his blessings l...

When I see what some people post up as their nightly beauty routine, I almost fainted. So many products!!! Sometimes I wonder do they really need so much..hrm. Anyway, if your immediate thought is to go to bed straight (like I do), we simply don't want to go through that. No freaking way. This was taken from a blog which quoted Kim Kardashian's secrets on how she tries to stay away from wrinkles. It can also be adapted to be part of your nightly beauty routine. In the night, after cleansing, use a make up remover or facial cleansing wipe to simply wipe any traces of make up that was not removed completely during cleansing. Apply non clogging or light night cream to your face as your skin actually works overnight as you sleep and you can wake up to a fresher complexion. But please still remember to wash your face the next day, eh? I recommend..  To keep wrinkles at bay, use an eye cream before going to bed. With lesser wrinkles, it helps to not let people add numbers...
