WARNING! THIS POST IS FULL OF GIFs ;)

What their club room looks like during springtime

It's actually a storage room but they cleaned it up and rearranged things inside

Meet Chihaya (beauty in vain)

Kanade Oe fascinated *_* I think she had some mascara on or something since she got 3 eyelashes on this one she usually have just one or 2 haha

Meet Taichi, going back home together they met for the very first time at school all grown up

Even if they haven't seen each other for ages it's as if nothing much changed

Meet Arata

here's Arata with a failed high five with Taichi haha

Young Chihaya and Taichi playing around he said she's such a tomboy compare to her sister

Well said young Arata

Their 1st team tournament match with matching shirts so cute!

For some reason Shinobu reminds me of Rukia from Bleach maybe it's her hair or like character demeanor

powerful vibe

I have no idea what is Karuta and how it's played it looks very interesting and fast paced though competition style

My thoughts:

This series is so cute and I can't get enough of it! I watched it so many times now it always gives me that butterfly,fluffy feeling inside my stomach the love triangle and love interest is definitely something to think about at first I'm like team Chihaya x Arata then again as this story progresses especially in the manga now I'm like in a dilemma I also like Taichi he's smart,rich,nice, jack of all trades master of none as they say haha!

I think what attracted Chihaya to Arata is that he's so hard working and he got a dream and he gave her a mind opening experience something she's never forget that her dream should be all about her (just like the gif way above) as for Taichi he's very dedicated and he gave her that feeling of uncertainty sometimes like what is this? and that moment Taichi told her ( I won't say you gotta read it it's in the manga haha!) she was like dumb founded and because of that I feel like aha! Oh Chihaya now I kinda get it for this I really hope Chihaya and Taichi would end up together because of that moment she questioned herself and stuff definitely a game changer.

It's more tournament focused though although I really crave for intimate moments and Arata to show up oh boy! so many things yet to be revealed so if you're tuning in to this series and know what I'm talking about are you team Arata or team Taichi? that always seems to be the question isn't? haha

also the character developments are pretty outstanding this series covers friendship,love,slice of life and cultural stuff no wonder it won awards! I gave it 5 out of 5 stars due to its awesomeness! I'm really looking forward to Chihaya being Queen and her showdown with Shinobu also who would beat the master? Taichi or Arata waah! so freakin exciting! as for the next installment please publish it faster and more frequently haha

When Ho sang’s body is initially missing, the media sensationalizesthe case by scapegoating him. In a battle for ratings, cold and calculating MSC reporter Song Cha Ok (Jin Kyung) alleges that Ho Sang survived the blast, and is currently in hiding because he was responsible for the deaths of his men.

Main Cast

Park Shin Hye as Choi In Ha
– Noh Jung Ui as Choi In Ha (young)
Lee Jong Suk as Choi Dal Po / Ki Ha Myung
– Nam Da Reum as Choi Dal Po / Ki Ha Myung (young)
Kim Young Kwang as Seo Bum Jo
Lee Yoo Bi as Yoon Yoo Rae

My Thoughts:

One of the main reasons I watched this was because of Park Shin Hye (Choi In Ha) I've seen loads of her dramas before and most of the time it's pretty darn good! anyway her character here was a daughter of what people view as an obnoxious reporter (her mom) she idolized/worship her and would like to be her when she grows up but the thing is people say she can't due to her pinocchio syndrome and no her nose doesn't grow long whenever she lies haha she would hiccup and won't stop hiccuping til she spoke the truth so you can see she's somewhat in a pinch in her chosen profession.She also did a lot of headstands here whenever she's thinking seriously! so blood would flow thru her head haha *don't try that at home kids* also loads of cute moments like: (photo credits from the internet huzzah!)

I think these scenes are pretty much given in any korean drama

Now about Lee Jong Suk (Choi Dal Po) his family was a victim here he saw and experienced how cruel the world is as a kid what happened to his family is sometimes sad to say also happens in reality how reporters,old money people manipulate things to divert the medias attention for their own gain. What I like/love about this drama though was because of that it depicted that sad reality really well and we could all learn a lot from it airing the dirty laundry as they say in the industry.So here he is the young and grown up version.

so funny and tacky! I like the awkward moments of this video shoot

Makeover time! not too shabby

Actually my favorite character from this tv series is Min Sung Wook (Jang Hyun-Gyu) he's so funny without even trying!

she's second haha surprisingly so although she's so annoying at first

Lee Yoo-Bi (Yoon Yoo-Rae)

it's so funny whenever people are like HEY YOORAE! ARE YOU CRYING?! like srsly?every freakin time it never fails to make me laugh and wonder wtf? it's like their punchline

Loads of plot twist also happen because of this guy Kim Young Kwang (Seo Bum Jo) for a chaebol(rich guy) he ain't so bad! and it's so refreshing whenever he's like amaze in simple things that he's experiencing for the for time haha

Anyway, how their path crossed and how they brought upon change to the world was pretty epic! I won't say much I'd like you to discover it for yourself! watch this series! I really hope that's how the reporters/medias are in the real world!

Final verdict 5 out of 5 stars! oh yeah! I never thought it would be this good it's worth the rave and hype,it's very refreshing,modern and the ending was cute too I tell ya so give it a shot whenever you got free time and dunno what else to watch it definitely gave me an inside look what a reporters life is like whether it's real or not.

About the book:
The Garde are finally reunited, but do they have what it takes to win the war against the Mogadorians?

John Smith—Number Four—thought that things would change once the Garde found each other. They would stop running. They would fight the Mogadorians. And they would win.

But he was wrong. After facing off with the Mogadorian ruler and almost being annihilated, the Garde know they are drastically unprepared and hopelessly outgunned. Now they’re hiding out in Nine’s Chicago penthouse, trying to figure out their next move.(more)

My thoughts:

2 out of 5 stars it's ok

I knew it!although it has been awhile...dunno who is who and what is what this story is quite action pack yet it drags man...it's nice to know most of them are reunited/together survived the attack and all that then again they still don't know what they're doing,lots of training,shady stories,stockholm syndrome, lies,love triangle,some funny lines and happy go lucky characters, kickass moves,more legacies developing and shocking revelations!

Quick Synopsis: (Source: Goodreads)

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? (more)

My thoughts:

3.5 out of 5 stars!

At long last! I finally got around into it OMG this story! I find Amy disturbing actually she's an intelligent psycho bitch! I kinda feel sorry for Nick but his actions are well not good either. Their marriage became toxic and it got into them and they let it get into themselves.I guess this stuff truly happens when you stop trying,lack of communication,death of a loved one,someone sick in the family,stress etc. it adds up! your body,mind and spirit will take the toll. What I liked about this story is how it proves it's not always the husband who is the culprit. I hope the next 2 books would deliver some sense of justice.They all need a psyche consult asap!

Until June's brother is murdered, and Day becomes the prime suspect.

In a shocking turn of events, the two uncover what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths to which their country will go to keep its secrets.

My Thoughts: 3 out of 5 stars
I love the cover!I like how Day and June's narrations differ in terms of color and font easy to read,.I finished this within a day.At first I thought Day's a girl and June's a boy haha I got a bit confused at first but finally got a hang of the idea it's actually the other way around.It started slow at first then the action picks up somewhere around the middle and the end. Their character description/appearance is like they're such beautiful people I felt like they're so made for each other you know even when they're so dirty never showered much,scavenging for food in the trash bins undercover or not and all that.The idea of this book is really nice and I find it a bit unique I haven't read anything like this before.Hopefully I get a chance to continue this adventure soon enough!

My Thoughts:

I love this series! Definitely an awesome tandem Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho! This story kinda made me happy and sad at the same time. Sometimes when you think about it you think rich kids leads a happy life because they have everything or whatever but they actually most of the time don't have the essential things that matters in real life such a a normal loving family life you know. They're acting skill so brilliant brought these characters to life and the romance part especially the love triangle doesn't look so force you know it's so heartwarming and cute thinking they're all still in school aww...I like how the story intertwined and they're mothers so funny! there's quite a lot of comic relief moments overall 5 out of 5 stars a great balance in everything! family life,different sorts of relationships etc. I highly recommend this show! xD

My thoughts:

Took me awhile to finally get into this dunno why I didn't watched this soon enough or while it's still airing I guess I tried to stay away from the hype for what I heard it's really good! and it actually is! very good! well made and written pretty convincing actually although I feel like the ending is quite force like you know just so to get a happy ending but don't get me wrong I like a happy ending but theory wise you know? I like how there's an extra episode for the fans since it's such a hit! I love Jeon Ji Hyun especially in the early days of her career she also got married recently and I'm starting to get fond of Kim Soo Hyun his character always seems serious and uptight whenever I watch him.Overall 4.9 out of 5 stars that ending tho... still I highly recommend this show! love love love!

Years later, an embittered Hwon meets Wol, now a female shaman who has no recollection of her past. Written by DramaWiki

My thoughts:

I cried in some parts of each episode I think the only time I didn't cry is when I got tired of crying or felt like my tears are all dried up hahaha

Let's talk about the characters...

I don't really like the other princess companion Bo Gyeong so plastic! also her father ugh so evil! no wonder she's like that although even til the end I hope she'll do the right thing..As for Princess Min Hwa's she's such a spoiled royal! I really hate it when she cries and people tolerate her for it and gets what she wants and that ending ugh -_-

looks like they're having fun (left: Young Bo Gyeong, middle young princess minhwa right young Yeon Woo)

I like to ship Woon and Seol I think they'd be like the perfect warrior couple haha! I love their swordmanship and action scenes although I really hope there's more scenes for both of them together.

Left:Woon (King's guard) Right: Seol (wol's protector)

Kim Soo-hyun so perfect for the King Role although it took him quite a long time to figure the whole thing out and investigate what happened eight years ago.

perfect bromance pic. xD

The Professor's scholar family so nice and perfect! they have intelligent,well mannered,nice,humble,and good looking children. Awesome upbringing! God bless their souls!

Heo Yeon Woo (Wol) the grown up version kinda looks like Moon Geun Young but not it's not her maybe because of the eyebrows and their faces kinda looks a like in some of her pictures

Spoiler alert!

If only the Chief Shaman Jang said it was Yeon Woo the crown princess in the first place meant to be Queen = The end hahaha!

Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars I really liked the story all in all I love the character developments, supernatural elements and I definitely believe in the old ways so it's really nice to see other people's superstitions,culture and all that. I highly recommend this series! check it out asap!

Genre: Drama, Thriller
Runtime: 43 min per episode

Original Cast: Left to Right: Stephen,Quinn,Huck,Liv,Harrison,Abby,Cyrus and Fitz

My thoughts:

All the characters seems so wonderful and kick ass in there own ways. I don't really like Quinn to be honest she's like a lost stray puppy haha I like Huck his lines are so bad ass and so are Liv (Olivia Pope) character so powerful and I totally believe in her that she can fix anything haha!

Stephen's a womanizer trying not to get lost in his path to marriage/normal, Harrison's seems like a cool nice guy, Abby's a bit high strung,energetic most of the time and sarcastic I truly hope she finds somebody to love.Cyrus's manipulative and dunno really which side he is sometimes I never thought he's be gay but I love it! his relationship is a mix of modern and conventional means. As for Fitz well he's charming and confused oh boy!

I finished season 1 in such an easy breezy marathon can't believe there's only seven episodes? good thing it's on netflix now haha! I like it so far I think season 1 crisis is totally just the starting point for it all I mean that Amanda dilemma thing just blew up like crazy and I can still see that kid as the posh mean intelligent girl from the Gilmore girls haha she played her part well and Quinn for some reason I still get irritated by her and I seem to side with Abby most of the time haha you go girls! I'm trying to give Season 2 a go the struggle is real :)) Overall 4 out of 5 stars see it to believe it! I also like how the problems/cases are tackling modern day current afffairs.

Synopsis:

A man marries his landlady so he can take advantage of her daughter.

My thoughts:
Watch out! here comes LOLA! Dolores such child is so out of control!very precocious!

to be honest I have no idea what's it all about at first all I know is that there's a book that I haven't read but people throughout the years have been raving about.This story so screwed up! ABOMINABLE! I tell ya hahaha

I like how this story brings some awareness about familial relations,what's right and wrong and mental issues. I think the term would be as they call it dysfunctional family...The guy didn't actually move on and was scarred early on with his first young love at an early age of 14. As for Dolores well she didn't grew up with a father with only her mom by her side who couldn't control her they're always yelling or arguing but there are some times they're okay and civil with each other. Now in real life if children like these do the same they would get spanked and punished a lot I imagined (especially if you have strict parents or coming from southeast asia) haha!

Spoiler alert!

She got pregnant with some guy and she's smoking!? srsly while pregnant? OMG!she's so messed up!
I don't know if anybody told her the consequences of smoking during pregrancy that poor child!

Sad ending really -_-

Overall 3 out of 5 stars I think they all need some counseling and psyche consult!

My Thoughts:

I bought it at Publix (grocery store) I think it was on sale when I got it last year with a coupon or so I forgot the price but according to their site it's $13.95 it comes in three shades: Creamy natural,Buff Beige and Natural Beige. I have the first one: creamy natural.

The bottom compartment looks like this, there's the mirror, then the mini free brush and there are holes at the very bottom for ventilation purposes mayhaps? I dunno

Now I get it when people say they hate the free brush that comes along with the kit like this (in any product whatsoever no matter what line or brand) So yeah after a couple of cleanups with lukewarm water and soap it became like this the adhesive/glue that's supposedly holding the bristles got caught/mixed in it's just so sad coz I sorta like the free brush which I find convenient to have/use although it feels a little rough since it's like synthetic on the skin ugh and I don't think there is any process to reverse this so I just got to deal with it or just use one of my face brushes -_-

First look it looks like it's too much but once it blends in the coverage is light and finish off sheer.

with just one swipe of my finger

it blends really nice especially on my face it definitely corrects the redness although if you have dry-normal skin like mine even though I bought creamy natural I just have to dab it on my face gently and not so much or else it might create/accentuate the dry patch.Definitely need to moisturize a lot. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars I like how it corrects the redness of my skin and all that although sometimes I can appear quite ghostly white or pale haha It's light,compact and travel friendly.

The first three's quite moisturizing while the last two got a matte finish.The Packaging is just clear plastic at the top and black at the bottom which is kinda cheap looking but hey what am I expecting it's these lipsticks are like $1 or something sometimes you can even buy them buy 1 get 50% off. The Colors are very pigmented I like to play with these and practice etc.the only color I didn't like is Vamp it up coz it's like and I feel like I just ate/drank squid ink hahaha truly very vampy,goth looking I don't really like the chemically taste like ugh but ya know now I understand why it's affordable and teens-adults have a love/hate relationship about them. But will I ever purchase this again? No...I'd rather buy the Revlon lipsticks or other brands than this I'm so sorry it's just that I feel like it's such a waste so sad I know T_T as much as I like the colors especially Dark Wine and Black Orchid I'm just not reaching for this stuff anymore...I don't recommend this product to anyone which makes me wonder why are these still on store/in shelf -_-

Overall

1=Blue Divine 2=Blackest Blue 3=Eggplant

My thoughts:
I bought these at Walgreens for $2.49 each. I think these are great eyeliner pencils especially if you're just starting out/beginning to try and experiment makeup. It's soft silky creamy like texture so it glides smoothly on my eyelids, easy to apply, convenient,travel friendly and I like to use this a lot to play around with my looks and practice putting my eye makeup I love how I can smudge it easily so I can do my attempt on smokey eyes,I usually use this alone/by itself especially when I don't want to put some eyeshadows on,they're easy to blend.I like the colors and color payoff which is bold and pigmented. One time one of the edges broke I just simply use the back of my hand in order to recreate that round like edge and viola! it works no need for a sharpener whatsoever. Con(s), well it's not waterproof so if you scratch your eyes a lot chances are it would smudge or whatever. As long as you don't scratch your eyes excessively I think this won't budge the moment it sets and it's not that long lasting depends how you use it really so yeah...Verdict, 5 out of 5 stars if you want an affordable easy to use eyeliner try to give this one a go. ^_^

1st= Plush Plum, 2nd=Sedona Red,3rd= Baby Berry & 4th= Cabernet

My thoughts:

I don't really use lipliners but I gave these a GO since they're like $2.49 each at Walgreens so yeah I bought them woohoo! 1- Plush Plum is the closest to my natural lip color so it's really nice I can actually wear it by itself but it can be drying so with a lip balm on and then this one would be fine. 2 is really red I only use this if ever I put some red lipstick on so it won't bleed on me. 3 is kinda mauve-ish light rosey pink while 4 is like 1 & 3 combined but darker shade like purplish berry almost. I think these are great lipliners especially if you're just starting out/beginning to try and experiment makeup, it's affordable,easy to apply,silky smooth it glides on nicely on my lips and sometimes I like to put it on my eyelids as an eyeliner as it almost has the same ingredients either way its great looking, the colors very nice,bold and pigmented although it's not that long lasting. Overall, 4.5 out of 5 stars really convenient,affordable and travel friendly.

Tony Moly Delight Tint Crayon #7 Neon Red | Makeup Review

2015-09-14T00:00:00.000-04:00

Image & information source: Koreadepart

My thoughts:

So I bought this product for quite some time now [ #7 Neon Red for $4.92 (original price $6.15)] over at Koredepart which I think is a good price as it is a tint/crayon lipstick sort of thing. Next I'll show you what it looks like on me.

color swatch in natural light (outdoors), it looks very light but the color is buildable. Over here it looks like in between peach-coral

dry,natural lip color

On my lips it looks very bright red-pinkish almost! so this is just with one swipe/one layer on

This is what my lips looks like as the color fades

This is what the 2.8g product looks like in my hand and that's seriously how far that lip color goes not very long compare to the packaging itself.

The only thing I don't like about this product is that it's not very long lasting that's it.

As for what I like/love about this product is that it's creamy, easy to apply,very moisturizing and as you can see from the my lip swatch pictures above it has a wonderful color payoff off with just one swipe/layer on and it fades beautifully too my lips looks so much better and healthy looking afterwards. The product itself has a sweet candy scent and it actually tastes nice haha!

As for the packaging I find it cute, simple,quite a thick/chubby looking tube but very comfortable at hand and the bottom part always works even if I turned the lip product all the way up.

I'm not sure what to feel though about the lip product content sometimes I feel like it's just the right amount of product for the price and fit my needs just right then again if I use this everyday I think of course I'll ran out of it right away so I guess this is a nice supplemental lip color from time to time. Very handy and travel friendly I just hope it won't melt whenever I travel to a tropical country.

Final verdict, 5 out of 5 stars! I don't think you can go wrong with it and it's affordable too plus quite a wide range of bright lip colors to choose from although it doesn't last very long on my lips I still love it! no regrets!

What's your favorite lip color? I hope you give this one a shot! ^_^

Hannibal (2001) | Movie Review

Stars: Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman |See full cast and crew »

Runtime: 131 minutes
Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Release date: 9 February 2001 (USA)

Storyline

Living in exile, Hannibal Lecter tries to reconnect with now disgraced FBI agent Clarice Starling and finds himself a target for revenge from a powerful victim.

My thoughts:

Revenge better served cold then it turns sour as the tables turn and quickly bite you in the arse or in this case face!

I didn't really watch this movie series in order of release date or storyline or whatever I just watched them the moment I found them and so happens that I'm available at the time. I've been meaning to watch this film anyway since I started watching Hannibal (tv series 2013-2015). For some reason way back in the day I shy away or really don't want to watch it due to cannibalism involved even the movie cannibal.

anywho the story telling was quite boring to begin with, a bit action pack in some parts though there are other parts that simply failed to capture my attention. I like the last 20 minutes of the film as it truly put the pieces together I appreciated that especially that last meal OMG! truly disturbing!.

As far as the victim who plotted it all and tries to buy almost everyone who said yes to his plans are simply mad! good thing for hannibal being hannibal.

Julia Moore is simply ageless I can't believe she still look like this now wow! well as Clarice Starling I think she did a fine job quick kickass you go girl! Although I hope she'd go after hannibal herself overseas. The other characters are pretty much predictable and got what they deserve. Overall I gave this movie 3 out of 5 stars not quite as disturbing as I thought it would/should be. Dunno why I still like the tv series modern day take of this better.

Runtime: 115 min
Genre: Drama
Release date: 10 January 2013 (Denmark)
Storyline:
A teacher lives a lonely life, all the while struggling over his son's custody. His life slowly gets better as he finds love and receives good news from his son, but his new luck is about to be brutally shattered by an innocent little lie.

My thoughts:

It is often and almost always a common belief in some countries/places/people that children always tells the truth due to their pureness or that they are naive.

I don't think I believe in such a thing.For children of course are human as well although we think they won't gain anything from it or whatever it's most likely of fear especially if they do know of such fear that they/he/she would be punish for such wrong doings.

This story makes me mad a lot I guess this is to brought upon awareness to society as it does happens sometimes. I cried,sniffled a lot and that ending and the people ugh

Mads Mikkelsen, portrayed the character well I super empathized with him!

SPOILER ALERT!

I didn't really get a sense of justice in it.I thought Lucas would get his revenge or like leave town screw them as they screwed him but he's so nice! herd mentality blows man! some bffs pfft!you know at first I thought it was Marcus Godfather I mean looks like he got a basement ain't it? and isn't that the basement where they drink?

Although I applaud this film for bringing out some of the emotions I got in stored haha! the storyline's basic, normal,so-so that makes it quite realistic and simple.Some of the characters I find irritating and I despise while there are still a few that somewhat restored my faith in humanity in this film. Overall I gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars for the movie itself but 5 out of 5 stars for Mads Mikkelsen, acting truly well done man!

Runtime: 124 minutes
Genres: Crime, Thriller
Release date: 4 October 2002 (USA)
Storyline:

A retired FBI agent with psychological gifts is assigned to help track down "The Tooth Fairy", a mysterious serial killer; aiding him is imprisoned criminal genius Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter.

My thoughts:

Comparing Edward Norton to Hugh Dancy definitely hands down to Hugh I don't really like Edward's acting as Will. I think Hugh a great match for Will he's much more disturbed looking when he tries to imagine the crime scenes.

I still like the modern take of Hannibal (tv series 2013-2015) when the show try to capture/reimagine the crime scenes as for this film though Edward(will) only says in the tape recorder what he thought happened. Ralph Fiennes as the tooth fairy did a convincing job being mad and his voice having a cleft palate repair what I find quite disturbing yet funny was his scene with Freddie Lounds which is a male journalist played by Philip Seymour Hoffman that scene where the tooth fairy showoff his tattooed back and Freddie screamed in horror I found that display really hilarious and highly entertaining!

Hannibal was pretty much chill most of the time in this movie which I find a bit weird well just being him I guess just teasing and trying to manipulate some people and train of thought that last scene though gives me the creeps.

Overall I rate this film 2.5 out of 5 stars not much character development and I guess I expected something more although the last showdown between Will and the tooth fairy was quite well done I just really hope they'd be able to capture the culprit sooner.

Thank you so much Cassandra! who would have thought after all these years we're still blogging? haha! many thanks! this is really nice and yet another humbling experience!

What is your blog’s direction?

Right now I think it's in a much more General sense unlike before in which I mainly focused/discussed about books. I like how free and open I am now discussing and sharing my feelings with others I'd like to broaden my horizons even more and talk about things that aren't usually talked about.

What country are you from?

Originally I'm from the Philippines! Right now I'm currently residing here in the U.S

Favorite genre in anime and why?

Shoujo,School Life and Slice of Life. I like how normal and relateable it is but with a twist. It teaches valuable lessons about family,friendship, life in general and all that stuff.

What do you hate?

Hate is such a strong word haha but when it comes to food I don't really like and hate diningding I think it's an Ilocano dish in the Philippines it's made out of leftover fish heads then you stew it with anchovy paste and add some vegetables it taste so gross to me but some of my friends told me it isn't so bad haha maybe I just ate a weird not so good version I dunno but right now never again! :))

When it comes to people it's not like I hate the person itself but more of their actions you know? and sometimes I even hate myself a little bit whenever I did something stupid or like let some trivial matter get on the way and cloud my judgement but through that I learn oh life!

What are the things that make you glad to be alive?

Hmm...Early on in life I guess I learned how to appreciate little things in life like candy,cute things,games,books stuff like that.

How far do you and anime-manga go?

When it comes to anime I'd say 20 years and 10 years for manga. Way back in the day (Oh boy I feel old using this term haha) animation isn't as good as they are now they're still developing but most of the time they have really good story lines and I actually believed that they're real at least some of them even though they had bad graphics haha I started reading manga around College because during those times it takes a very long time for my favorite anime episodes to air due to translation and copyrights of networks or they needed to get dub by the local network etc. finding the book is somewhat easier and more fast paced than waiting in vain forever haha!

Have you read any light novels?

Lately no but way back in the day yes! here's my goodreads read pile please check it out for more info!

What are your thoughts on the rise of the light novel trend?

I think it's nice! anything that promotes reading I think is good. The more people read the more we learn,our minds won't become stagnant as it will broaden our horizons,empathize and understand one another more.

What are your plans for the next months ahead on your blog?

More reviews about technology,movies,games,make up normal stuff haha

Latest anime or leisure activity you are immersed in?

I haven't watched any anime as of late please recommend me some in case you've watched any good ones as for other things well right now I'm currently playing Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth it's surprisingly good! I'm almost done woohoo! and binge watching Orange is the new Black on Netflix I finally got into this tv series.

11 random facts about me

1. I like Soy products a lot (tofu,soy beans,soy sauce,soy milk anything goes!)
2. I can eat Tofu, Spaghetti or Kare-Kare for a week (breakfast,lunch & dinner)
3. I have a lazy left eye.

6. I have small veins (or so they say it's hard for other people to poke and extract my blood)
7. I like drinking cold beverages even on a cold day and vice versa
8. I sometimes like to eat breakfast for dinner and vice versa haha
9. I may be the weird one in my family but I know I'm not alone out there (I have some weird friends as well :))

Nyx HD Concealer | Makeup Review

2015-08-10T00:00:00.000-04:00

This is my first repurchased concealer product I first bought it at Ulta for $4.99 and the second time at Amazon and let me tell you about this amazing product!

It's a wand type concealer and got 3 grams of product in it.

So many shades to choose from and if you buy at Ulta they usually have the buy 1 get 50% off sale

I bought shade 06 glow

It has a chemically normal makeup smell to it but it fades over time not very overpowering/ not irritating to your skin/nose/eyes.

Before picture you can see some dark circles under my eyes and after the concealer application it lightens and achieved an even skintone color and good thing I managed to capture this photo with the natural light outside woohoO!

What I don't like about it is that it only has 3 grams of product and doesn't come in a bigger size. I can quickly ran out of it haha!

What I like/love about this product is that it's cruelty free,affordable,creamy liquid light formula and coverage and very buildable,blends easily although it took me three layers to achieve that after picture it works for me and definitely covers my blemishes etc. Overall 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend this product!

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse | Makeup Review

2015-08-03T00:00:00.000-04:00

This is the first time I bought Maybelline's foundation I researched beforehand. I heard and read nothing but good things about this one. This one might be just the one for me...I bought the shade 200 creamy natural at Ulta for $8.99.

back part

The top part comes with a free sponge and that's where you just basically store it unfortunately there's no mirror but I don't really mind.

the bottom part is the foundation.

the foundation doesn't really smell like anything

finger swatch

Packaging: Plastic and simple.The bottom part which is transparent looking I thought was glass at first. It's quite elegant looking very presentable and sturdy. I'm a bit surprised when I got it I thought the top part would be flat but actually has a dome shape slight curvature design.

Claims & My Thoughts:

-Skin looks and feels hydrated for 14 hours- never rough or dry
I have dry to normal skin right now I don't feel hydrated when I use this product I still need to use a face mist/ moisturizer beforehand so this product won't accentuate some dry areas on my face (dry patch alert!) After 5 hours and 30 minutes even with moisturizer and primer I notice the product gradually fading and my face looks dry up close. The never rough or dry I guess depends if you have a really good skin condition and maintain a good skincare.

-Lightweight formula transforms from cream to liquid
It does feel light as if you have nothing on (coverage; light buildable to medium) creamy texture. Can't really apply it with my fingers you have to use a sponge that comes along with it or use your own brush. I haven't used that one though as I used a wedge sponge I bought from Ulta so I'd avoid double dipping and I guess just reserving that one in case of emergency haha! mayhaps it will transfrom to liquid if you forgot about it outside and it's hot it will probably melt.

-Flawless, natural coverage provides a smooth finish.
Indeed! it eliminated some redness and blemishes on my face although it's quite noticeable up close. Definitely evens out my skintone. As for smooth finish again it depends if you have good skin like if you exfoliated beforehand and such. So far so good.

Note: once opened used within 12 months

According to Maybelline's website:

100% BABY-SMOOTH PERFECTION
14-HOUR HYDRATION
Ideal for Normal to Dry Skin

Why You'll Love It

Unique cream-whipped foundation provides 100% baby-smooth perfection
Skin looks and feels hydrated for 14 hours – never rough or dry
Ideal for normal to dry skin types
Oil-free, fragrance-free, Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin

For Best Results

Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with the applicator.

With one layer on, no primer
Natural light from outside

Overall 5 out of 5 stars! I like this product so far, easy to use,compact,doesn't cause me breakouts, evens out my skintone, somewhat hides my blemishes, my go to product at the moment,quite long lasting ( 5 hours and 30 mins. isn't so bad to retouch even with moisturizer and primer on) , there's no need for me to put on powder as it feels and looks matte after application,quite a lot of product and pretty affordable too!

I think it would also be great for oily types as well (I'm not sure about the super duper oily) this product is oil free,won't create a dry patch on oily types(I hope),won't clog pores and mayhaps create like a dewy flawless finish although they have a matte mouse counterpart for this product. I think it's worth giving a shot!

Papertowns, Night on the town & Spoilers | Movie Review

2015-07-30T00:00:00.000-04:00

Quick Synopsis:

A young man and his friends embark upon the road trip of their lives to find the missing girl next door.

Director: Jake Schreier
Writers: John Green (author), Scott Neustadter(screenplay), 1 more credit »
Stars: Cara Delevingne, Nat Wolff, Halston Sage |See full cast and crew »
Runtime: 109 min
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Romance
Release date: 24 July 2015 (USA)

My thoughts:

I bought an early release date night on the town screening. I found out about it after watching John Green's (vlogbrother video) wonderful announcement!

Anyway, I totally forgot about it I had a lot of things to do that premiere day that I'm not able to attend I also fell asleep and woke up the next day it's all over haha who does that? :)) later on the day I managed to redeem my ticket,poster and heart necklace that comes along the package deal so that was nice.

As for the movie there's not a lot of people on the 24th probably we're around 20 people or so mix of teens and middle age group.

SPOILER ALERT!

The teens squealed when they saw Ansel Elgot (Augustus Waters,Tfios) cameo role and some older adults don't really get it haha! and I like the santa send off parting gifts haha

I'm glad and thankful that day as well I was seated in the middle the whole row of seats by myself solo OMG! feels so good I wonder if that's what directors feel like? xD

Overall the movie was alright, it was good although the story kinda drags and makes me want to fall asleep at times or maybe I'm just tired that day. The actors did some pretty good normal teenage acting Q kinda reminds me of John Loyd Cruz (Filipino Actor) in some ways the way he acts with his sad puppy eyes or something. Quite a different Nat and Cara pulled off her american accent well she's such a rebel. The ending was different from what I expected but oh well nice story. Q's friends they all went to a roadtrip of a lifetime they won't forget he seems almost crazy at first and near the end but all things end well so yeah...3 out of 5 stars. I think I like John Green's movies better than the books haha I like the visuals and character lines very modern/now. Although there are some bad actor angles they don't look as good you know and I find it weird because in their roadtrip not once did I see they changed drivers? really?seriously? all that driving men that's crazy! it was funny though.

Tony Moly Delight Tony Tint (#1 Cherry Pink) VS. Nature Republic Real Gel Tint (#1 Red) | Makeup Review

2015-07-27T00:00:00.000-04:00

I bought these products via koreadepart they have a lot of variety of different cosmetics/beauty products from all sorts of Korean brands and some clothing items as well at very reasonable prices. Although I mostly order korean cosmetics from them because I don't really order clothes online due to size differences anyway, out of all the online retailers out there I think they're the most affordable one when it comes to cosmetics/beauty products and trustworthy so far the only problem I encountered with my order is when it's out of stock in which they quickly resolved,refunded what I paid for safely minus shipping fee for that certain product.

They often have sale events so if you're particularly into a certain brand their event calendar section would be very helpful,handy and good to know. As for shipping of course it depends where you are they have a fixed and tariff cost zone also depending how much your final order weighs that would definitely greatly affect how much you pay in the end.

Now for the much awaited Lip tint review let's talk about the packaging first shall we?

as you can see from the picture below Nature Republic's very simple, cute due to its tiny size and seems more travel friendly than the Tony Moly one would you believe they're both 9ml quite shocking right? Tony Moly's slightly bigger and definitely a lot longer, also cute due to its heart decoration also the most top part of the wand is heart shaped.

They're both very affordable by the way Nature Republic I got it for $3.38 (original price $3.98) while Tony Moly for $2.03 (original price $2.90). So for me it totally depends which brand you're totally into ,which of these cute packaging appeal to you more and which of these fit your budget.

Heart shape top part of Tony Moly Delight Tony Tint (#1 Cherry Pink)

Wand Difference:

Tony Moly Delight Tony Tint (#1 Cherry Pink) long wand and has that slightly upward pointy tip

Nature Republic Real Gel Tint (#1 Red)
short wand and has a more rounder tip

They both have soft texture,easy to apply and glides on smoothly.

Swatches:

1. Nature Republic 2. Tony Moly

They both kinda look the same from the picture above Tony Moly just a tiny bit watery than Nature Republic and when you smudge it now you can see both the color difference down below Nature Republic truly got that reddish tone while Tony Moly got that Pinkish tone you can actually use both of these as blushes as well if you like.

Natural lip color, Dry Lips

Both available in 3 colors:

Tony Moly Delight Tony tint is (#1 Cherry Pink, #2 Red, #3 Orange Chacha)

Nature Republic Real Gel Tint (#1 Red, #2 Pink, Orange)

They're both very vibrant, feel the same and look really similar not that far away from each other that's why I decided to compare them eventhough I should haven't chosen cherry pink and should do red vs red in both product line well I haven't really seen nor read anything that compare both these products this way how they're so much alike so yeah. They both have hydrating formula but they don't last very long so you have to reapply frequently over time it would leave a wonderful natural looking lip stain,

There you have it! I hope you find this product/lip tint review helpful.I love these products so much! it's actually my first time to try them and so excited to share it with you guys. I'd rate it 5 out of 5 stars! lovely product!

Tell me in the comment section below what you think have you tried any of these two before? if you haven't I hope you give it a shot!
