My Holiday Celebration is Beautiful

Hi friends! Oh how I've missed the blogosphere!

I haven't been so active as I'd like lately... More like since July, right? Many things have just been going on like a great jump up at work, more family time and a lot of going on with my friends which were such a blaaast! I love spending time with my friends, even though all of them may be guys. :D It's always so carefee and funny with them.

There are also some parts of 2010 that's sad but now pretty negligible (hahaha): I went though a break up with the guy I was seeing for more than 5 years. I've blogged about him and me a couple of times in this blog too, so I'm trying to just take those posts down and delete them.

WELL! EQUAL PARTS SUCKY AND AWESOME FOR 2010! Whoever could have guessed all those things happened! I DESERVE A GOOD R&R!!!!


How sweet is the smell of this? Aweeesome! Lol!

ONE QUESTION: You remove the cellophane thingy for this right? It's my first time with a My Beauty Diary Mask so I don't quite know what to do with the cellophane.

In the middle of the action in Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde!

Also, one of my resolutions for the new year will be to be more adventurous with beauty products. I won't chicken out in trying new brands and product types. To start off, I have several Laneige products I ordered online:



I think my skin has high tolerance! Lucky eh? The only thing my skin hates is very thick creams that are unbearably stiffling. My skin seems to soak those light lotions and liquidy creams easily. And because of that, I've found my favorite night cream that I will talk about, along with those products above, in another post!

Rest assured I will not be gone for so long this time! 2011 is my year!

Thank you very much for your continued friendship :) I hope you have the luckiest 2011 ever!

Go Home Faulkner, You're Drunk ('Difficult Books' series)

In my quest to 'broaden my literary horizon' I made a point to go out of this  terrible 'complaisant zone' I am currently  at. To be honest, my reading state is probably a lot bleaker that what I'm letting on: I have not finished a novel since three months ago! As penitensya for my incessant lack of drive and, I suppose, to jolt my brain back to the pace it used to enjoy prior to this reading drought, I decided that I must go the route of reading 'Difficult Books'. "A difficult book is still just a book",  I told myself; how silly to get hung up on what other people say about how much of a PitA   it is to slough through. I pride myself on reading basically everything I get my hands on. Because when all your life you've felt that reading a book was the warmest , most comfortable state to just be , it feels as natural as a breeze turning a page. So I grabbed a copy of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury . I am lucky enough to be at ...

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it? But a book should offer more than...

Atoning

Okay so it's not a clever title. Well, I am currently reading Atonement by Ian McEwan (wow, I've been at this book for aaaages) and I am trying to atone for the lack of posts lately! We were having--- actually we still are having a tough time at home. We're moving!!! Been pretty busy with the repairs of the new home and packing all our stuff. *Sniff, Sniff* I feel really sad leaving our home. We've lived there for around 13 years. Hopefully we can all scramble and leave before September 18. And ugh, it's such a downer to spend September 19 unpacking and decorating our home. It's my b irthday , I was planning to host a Crab Party! :( Anyway, I thought I would just like to share my favorite quotes on Atonement , if you don't mind. I love this book. Everytime I read a passage that struck me, I hastily jot it down. The book is wonderfully written, it is so erudite! The story itself makes me contemplate on the dynamics of family, the strength of imagination ...
