Ohisashiburi desu ne~ Love Packages!

Heya!

HOW ARRRREEE YOUUU GUYS!!! Off of blogger, I got so much impromptu vacationing and serious work mode done, it's crazy :D I wonder how you all are doing and I terribly miss blogging so much. I especially miss this little corner.

While I was away, I got two packages from overseas. One was from Jol and another one from a good blogger friend of mine from UK!

These love packages are just so miraculous, they brighten up one's day INSTANTANEOUSLY and just whams and bams all of the day's sad things away. Jol is such a lovely girl to send me these wonderful My Beauty Diary and Face Q Sheet Masks! I am in love with them and I was just so grateful to her for sending me one of my most wishlisted items!



These are the contents: I LOOOOVE THEM! Couldn't wait to try them out, actually!


Thank you super super super. Now I can get to try them for myself and see what the fuss is all about! LOLJK! I've stuck to Missha and Etude masks for so long. There are no local sellers here in our city for My Beauty Diary. It sucks having to pay for the shipping, shipping fee is the pits! :(

Another package, a book, from my beloved friend (with a terribly nice postcard). This is a novel by my most favorite author in the world!



He knew I don't have this copy yet, so he sent me his! So generous I can almost cry. I've finished Louis de Bernieres' novels like Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Red Dog, Senor Vivo and the Cocoa Lord, The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts etc. So you know I love this author so very muchaaaas!

Such a short post for someone gone for so long, eh? Well there's plenty more because I'll give an update how my make-up are doing! Updated info coming right up! Ugh, I swear, I am going to cry with one picture for the next post. I mean, I hit pan on my Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover!!!! waaaa~ too terrible. I have to find a refill STAT!

I hate hitting pan on my favorite stuff!

See you next post and thank YOU so much for reading still!

Places: PaperRockScissors the Perfect Craft Store in Davao

Listening to: "It's Time" - Imagined Dragons Hello everyone! This post is not exactly skin-care related, but I'd like to share something else tonight. Yes, it's a craft shop :) kind of weird, but you know my recently-aquired love for crafting and sewing, right? However nice Davao City is and its how accommodating its stores and establishments may be, hobby shops are definitely NOT dime a dozen from where I am. I can barely find things I want. National chains for school supplies and crafting items are not much help. But maybe that's my fault: I don't get out a lot. Well if I didn't go out last night for a dinner at Zabadani Cafe ( Grilled Syrian Chicken is just too yummy to pass up!), I would never know that what I needed was right under my nose! A recently-opened shop called Paper Rock Scissors is one of my recent finds. Located just a minute away from where I work is the hobby shop of my dreams! It is so quaint and pretty and houses a lot of craf...

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 ...

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...
