relationship, commitment, sincerity

Christmas is just a week time to go. I can't wait to be back home for Christmas this year as I did not get to spend Christmas with my family last year :(
Anyway, Christmas Christmas Christmas is the best holiday season in a year for me. That glorious joyful indescribable feelings when it comes to Christmas. Besides, I am always excited for Christmas because New Year, my birthday, and Chinese New Year is coming soon all in once.

By the way, I just had a brief heart to heart chitchat with my friend yesterday. Talking about how complicated things in our life are. When move on and hang on are neither the best way, in fact we are just not sure. Whichever way chosen, "having the right perspective is the key, thus will make a huge difference" (quoted from When It Counts by WongFu Prod.).

During our chitchatting, I eventually came to realize that everything related to relationship will lead us to commitment and sincerity. Parents and children relationship, parents are committed to raise their children, while children are committed to respect parents. Siblings relationship, they are committed to take care each other. Even as a student, who doesn't hate assignments, assessment, exams? in fact, students are also committed to finish those. Same goes with friendship and bf/gf relationship, those people who we get to choose. When one does not appreciate the bond that's been built, there will be no commitment being taken. When one does not appreciate the others, there will be no such thing called relationship. Believe it or not, even with our beloved pets at home, we are committed to feed and protect them. I am very sure being committed to something is not easy. We need to put effort while maintaining the commitment. So far, I've seen a lot of people are not ready to start a relationship because they are just afraid to bear the commitment. I really think the word commitment is just a nicer way to replace the word responsibility, but the meaning is similar.

Talking about commitment is very complex yet simple. Sincerity is all that it takes. I really salute and respect those couples who can maintain the relationship for a really long time. Of course it's not easy, but the commitment that they took is proven sincere. Have you guys ever seen old grandpa and grandma walking in the street while holding hand, and your mind says "They are so sweet, I want to be like them in the future". Why? Answer yourself, it's in your heart.
I believe everything comes from the heart will make a lot easier at the right time. That's why people always say Follow your heart because eventually you will love it although it may seem hard.

Ok, I've really talked so much crap here LOL!

Siberian Husky... He is just very very handsome <3 p="p">

fyi: this dog really takes a lot to commit!

keep calm and stay classy

The 3 Idiots!

Thank God the week is over. That's all I can say after torturing myself with all assignments, assessments and last but not least dissertation. Around 1 month ago, I have already warned myself that all deadlines and practical exams will due 2 weeks before my final exams. Anyhow, I have that kind of disease which I believe all students have, called "Procrastinate". The word tomorrow, later, easy, lazy, and sleepy were always in my mind. So... Yes! I was actually freaking myself out for the past 2 weeks. But it was not until I had to write my dissertation. An approximately 20 pages of research papers were due in a week time (well, at least a week for me). Silly me didn't get to start it earlier. Guess what I get? Exhausted! LOL.. Anyway, I managed to finish it just in time :)

and Im in my final exam week now. First exam, French has been done last Friday. I was quite confident my answers actually. So.. no worries, no stress. But then, I've gotten a lot more to go.

Wonder why I name this post The 3 Idiots? Interesting. A friend of mine suggested me to watch this Indian movie. It's a 2hrs 45min movie, but it's worth-to-watch movie. It's a very meaningful and inspiring movie. Well especially for teenagers like me, future will sometimes lead me to fear and confusion. No idea whether I'm in the right path for my future career. Those small feelings that made me unable to live the moment. People nowadays strive to be the number one, not to be the best. Fame and money are undeniably deceiving. Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are not important but there is a lot more to explore in our life. Being so competitive with the world will only pressure and frustrate you because people will never get enough, that's in our nature.
To be passionate seem a lot easier than to be competitive. Stop chasing money but let money chases us.

I will put 2 links below, the first one is the trailer & the second one is the full movie with English subtitle.

The 3 Idiots (Movie Trailer)

fyi: I watched it from my friend's laptop in high quality version, Im not sure about this one. 

The 3 Idiots - Full Movie

Oh, I feel like it has been a long time I did not post the song of the day. Boys Like Girls - Be Your Everything is my current favourite song, and I can't get enough of it =)

Wreck it, Ralph!

Today, I just went to watch a game inspired movie Wreck it Ralph! Im pretty sure most of you heard it or watched it already. This movie is such an inspiration for me! I will give 5 out of 5 for this movie <3 p="p">To be honest, I've never played this game before LOL.. When I first looked at the trailer, didn't even have any idea and bother to consider. Somehow, I have a feeling that the movie might be interesting so I watched it! Anyhow, I really like a movie with a lot of meaning in it:

"You don't have to be somebody else to be recognized, be yourself is all what it takes!"

"What is a medal, trophy, award? The real champion is in you, not them!"

"There is nothing good or bad, it depends on how you perceive them."

Alright, a short post will do brighten up my night LOL!

Good night :)

In Time With You

I just finished watching a Taiwanese Drama called 我可能不會愛你 (Wo Ke Neng Bu Hui Ai Ni). I really have to say this is one of the best after Autumn Concerto. Well, the story line is actually quite simple and common. It tells about 2 best friends (girl and guy) who have been friend for a long time. Without realizing, they have actually fallen for each other. Since confessing might break their friendship, silence is the best way to do.. until one of them is ready to move on and getting married. In the end, they still have to settle their feelings. 

What I like most from this drama is there are lots of wise advices. Such as: Like and Love, two different terms that are close yet very different. Love comes from the heart, thus it can't never be forced. Like, it doesn't come from your heart thus it won't permanently last. Love grows fonder as the time flies. Like will just fade away when you get bored. 
I also find that Love is much more complicated as I get older. When I was small a kid, I love mama, papa, my toys?haha. But then I learned Love comes in many different forms. 

Regarding this drama, it's worth-it to watch when you experience 'friend-zoned'. I swear, being friend-zoned is the worst of the worst. But then, no one wants to be trapped in this situation of course. No one expects if they have actually gone too deep with their best friends. Then as my suggestion, I am really not a shifu on this issue. But according to the movies, sooner or later you friendship will either be forever or end. Thus, confession hopefully won't harm your friendship. 

ps: but true friendship definitely remains longer than being in the wrong relationship  

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

the person left, the love stays

the body is just a case.
the age is just a number.
cant believe everything that seems matter the most,
would just go away in a blink of eyes.

now that I know how fragile life is,
try to embrace every moment given.
just like the old says,
never take anything for granted.

human is just a creature without emotion,
the feeling, the heart, the mind that makes us alive.
the person you love the most might disappear,
but the love, the emotion will always be there.

deepest condolences for you and family ~

Ok, Im trying to be poetic but it seems like a messed up poem #epicfail! Anyway,  I was really shocked this evening when my friend told me that one of my friend's mom has just passed away.
No matter how bad the relationship between mom and child is, mom will always be number one and first hero in our life. Seriously who would carry us for 9 months and endure all the pain just to bring us into this world.

Well, of course not only mom. For all people that matters in your life. Family, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend..  never ever take them for granted. Appreciate every moment. I think most people always yearn for something they don't have or even can't have instead of feeling blessed with what they have. Once you begin realizing with what you have at the moment, you'll know how perfectly perfect you are. =)

shall go to bed now, good night :)

SIS ladies reunion

Hello! Long time no talk.. SO.. I have always been planning to write something on my blog but there is nothing special I wanted to talk about.. really my life's been flat recently *boooo...

Everytime I started to write something and then until third or forth line... stuck.. and I was like, nah.. that's alright I'm just gonna call it a day LOL!

Well, actually this post, I'm gonna talk more about my reunion last Sunday, but I will also talk about some random stuffs such as..

My new baby iPad 3..

So my little brother was bothering me to give my iPhone to him, as for the replacement, I go for an iPad :)

'elips hair vitamin'

I bought this product at Indonesia. I think Malaysia sells it also at Watson or Guardian but,

I think it's only available in the 6 capsules package. I bought the pink one which is specially made for damaged hair and hair treatmant. My hair is really really in a bad condition now. But, after using this, it will make my hair really smooth and smells nice.. Best of all, though the texture may look sticky but once applied on the hair, it doesn't leave the stickiness or greasiness on hair. 

and I recently bought a new skincare line by Shiseido. It's The Revital I line. To be honest, I've been using it for 1 week now but my face doesn't make any better.. worst yes! Not really sure if it's supposed to be like so but anyway I will keep my faith in this holy grail RM615 products for one month! My skin is really sensitive especially when it's really hot! It becomes really red and my vein is like popping out from the skin *yerr! So basically you can see my vein in my naked face :( It really is in a bad condition now. I'm using less make up now to rest my skin. Also, according on the product line, they are actually focusing on anti-wrinkle. But the sales girl convinced/recommended me to use this line. So opinion accepted.. and I chose this line over The White Lucent line *was planning to buy this line instead*. Anyway I will cross my finger to see the magic of this product. 

----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, back to the topic now. 

Last Sunday, my high school girlfriends and I had a reunion at Red Box. Personally, I am really really glad to be able meeting them. fyi: we came from SIS (Sunway International School). It used to be an underground and hidden school. But now... dayum the building itself is really huge! and I guess the facilities should be better. SIS has taken part one important chapter in my life. I could say, the memories I had there would never fade? :D If I could just rewind, I really want to start all over again *boooo :)

Frankly, when I was studying there, we really were like a big family. I was 16, and all I had there was my friends. That's why we were really close to each other and played such an important role :) *too dramatic is it?* LOL

Anyway, we have already set a date to meet again which is THIS WEEK! Can't wait! because not only the girls but also the guys, well I guess?!lol He continued his studying at China, so this chance we could meet up together again yeay! :D Also, one of our beloved friends will be coming to town this Monday! Yeay! Fun stuffs await me! :)

Ok, let's just call it a day :)

keep calm and stay classy 

BEYOND THE LIMIT!

:D

Homesick + Malioboro + Lawang Sewu

I am back from my 1 month break at Indonesia and moving to semester 4 now! Today is already the 2nd day of sem 4. What do you expect from second day of semester? I used to think "Never mind, it's just the first day of class. The class wont take more than 30 minutes for an introduction!" But, what do I get? THREE projects at the second day! Seriously it's THREE! Oh well, just gonna enjoy, do and finish it anyway :)

Just to share abit with you guys, I have been homesick recently! Yes, sakit rumah! This is weird! I've never felt this sad before! I mean, I do love my hometown sooo muchh. But I wouldn't mind to go back to Malaysia. Knowing the fact that Ive been staying here for more or less 3 years up to now. Some more, it was only my normal 1 month break, nothing so special about it. I would have been feeling homesick when I was in my 4.5 months break last semester. However, it did not happen to me. I was so happy returning back to Malaysia last sem!! haha

Anyhow, due to my 'sakit rumah' I could not sleep properly for the past one week. What happen to my eyes?? Very dark and puffy like a dead fish! Very horrible like seriously -.- One more thing, beside my homesickness, I fear something. I can't really understand nor explain what I fear of, but that's how I feel. I am fearing a kind of situation which I couldn't understand why I should be afraid. To make my life easier, I simply connect all of this.... well I've been homesick for couple of days that lead me to a disease called insomnia that causes lack of sleep for my body so I am not able to think properly at the moment... knowing that I could not think properly, that's just horrible and makes me fear! blehh #talkinglikeaboss LOL

OK I don't know why I talked a lot. I think because I havent been talking for quite a while here. teehee :)

Alright, what time is it? It's pictures time :D

This horse pedicab thingy is called 'andong'. In Jogjakarta, andong is used to attract tourists.. well and also locals. They use andong for transportation around this area. The andong will take you around Malioboro (is a main shopping street at Jogjakarta)  and of course they are chargeable. During peak season, the will charge up to Rp 100,000.. Im pretty sure they charge higher for tourists anyway. 1 andong can fit up to 8 persons with the rider/driver.

The Frenattas huahah :D

The building behind is called Lawang Sewu or Seribu Pintu or Thousand Doors.

It's a historical building located in Semarang, Central Java. 

For locals, you might recognize this building as a haunted building lol but now it has been

renovated nicely and used as one of the main attraction places in Semarang. 

It costs you Rp10,000 if I'm not mistaken for the entrance ticket, and

another Rp20,000 for the guide. Honestly, this is my third time visiting this building.

The guide will explain the history of this building which is very interesting for me.

Lemme sum up for you guys,

This building is called Lawang Sewu or Thousand Doors because of their uncountable doors slash windows. Even if it's properly, the total of their doors and windows would be more than thousand said the guide. Thus the locals call this building Lawang Sewu in Javanese slang. This building is used to be a train station during The Dutch colonization. The purpose of building thousands doors was due to Indonesia tropical country. Therefore, there would be fresh air circulation in this building. The Dutch colonization was replaced by the Japanese who took over Lawang Sewu for several years. Instead of train station, Lawang Sewu was utilized as the base of Japanese army. The basement which used to be as natural cooler, the Japanese turned this basement as prison where execution had usually done. This is why Lawang Sewu gets this haunted and spooky images. Well, actually if you are interested, you are able to walk to their basement as well. 

Lawang Sewu is located at Pemuda Street in front of Tugu Muda, Semarang, Central Java.

Enough with the haunted story right? Look at this picture!! My goodness, isn't it soooo cuuttee?? LOL

Me: Brandy, look at the camera

Brandy: Hmm, I look sexahhh babehh!!! huahhahah

keep calm and stay class

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

and the journey begins tomorrow

I am so excited that starting from tomorrow I would have my family road trip! It's kinda difficult for us to set certain time to travel together, especially for me since Im studying abroad.

We won't travel that far, the places we plan to visit are still a part of Central Java but... of course we have to sit our arse for hourssss in the car.

The routes of this trip would be starting from Semarang - Solo - Jogja - Magelang - Ambarawa (Bandungan) - then back to Kudus :)


And by the way, my result is out already! I feel so relieved that I am expecting of what I received :)
My GPA for last semester was not that good, it was actually dropping quite a lot from what Ive gotten from semester 1. So I promised myself I would rebuild my GPA back this semester, thank God I get it!

summer 2012 :)

Im at my lovely lovely hometown now. It's been 2 weeks since Im here and I still have another 1.5 weeks to go :( Definitely not enough time to embrace my freedom here! But what I like the most about this holiday is the fact that Im quite productive :) Lemme tell you, I can be a real couch potato if I really wanted to hahaa jutskidding 

I dropped by to Jakarta for few days before leaving for Kudus. 

Invited to go to Sunset Bandengan beach with my friends and the friends of my friends LOL :D

credit to anissa for editing the pic :D

HAHA Ignore for the randomness.. The next day, we went to a mountain-like restaurant. 

So to get to the restaurant, we have to drive uphill but it's not really at the hill of the mountain.

And we were very hungry I guess haha 

The night, my mom's family and I celebrated grandma's late birthday.

It was very casual dinner and actually a housewarming party and more like a family dinner gathering.

This gorgeous chapel is located at Susan Spa, Bandungan, Semarang. 

Funny pic my mom captured when I got distracted by my cat while I was watching Tom & Jerry lol!

And finally I cut my hair! I grew my hair ever since I curled my hair 1 year ago. Meaning since that time, Ive never cut my hair anymore. Then I guess now is the time to change my hair style.

 By the way my hair was very frizzy, dry and dull since I permed curl my hair. Luckily I was patient enough to give special treatment for my hair every time after washing my hair. And Ive gotten really tired of it. This is one of the reason why I chopped my hair.

That's it! See Im quite productive right! haha

Ok gotta go to sleep..

those people ... and nail of the day

Those people who really know how to talk, talk, talk... and talk !

Seriously, I am really pissed off with this kind of person. I really should give them a big big applause for their imaginations! I know people say "Let's dream high" but then SHOW it!

Sometimes, I really feel like slapping them to wake them up from their dreams and face the reality! When they keep talking and never do it, feels like they are dreaming but never wake up!

At first, their words seem very convincing and real but after a while, they keep talking over the same thing again.. and again without any progression, don't you feel tired? Hello wake up!

Maybe, it really is none of my business and I should just don't give a damn for it.. and if you purposely say those words over and over again just to make you feel great, it does not mean you can underestimate others!

OK.. I shall stop complaining here..

I just treat my nail with pink + silver glitter metallic polish :)

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

what ive been up to

Hello readers, it's 2:12a.m Malaysian time and I am writing my final exam tomorrow and I know I ain't supposed to be here right now! lalalala :D

However, since my brain is currently lagging, so instead of sleeping (since I'm not sleepy yet), I'm just gonna entertain myself here for a while.

So what is up?

I am having my finals during these 2 weeks but I don't know why I don't feel much pressure. Don't get it wrong, I am not the super smartest student neither the 'take-it-easy' kind of person. I really do concern on my study especially my marks but I just don't have that much pressure for the final. I am not sure though if it's a good thing meaning the final is easy OR it's the end of the WORLD! lol


I will be home exactly in a week! I really cant wait to be home. As much as I love this country, home is the place where I always belong to.. teehee :D

They are quite lots of awesome movies in the cinema atm. I'm really glad I was able to watch them in a row last week.

The best thing is, all of them were terrific! But if were to choose one, Ice Age is definitely the must-watch one! 

Ok, that is it, continue study now :)

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

nightmare ?

So.. before Im typing any further, do you ever dream of murdering or killing people before? It sounds scary right but for me they are very normal LOL! I dont know why I keep dreaming of this theme lately. At first I never realized it until I kept telling my friend about my dream, "Did you dream of killing people 'again'?" I was like.. hmm yeah the word 'again' really startled me! Ive been dreaming of this theme quite a lot lately. It's been around 2 months or so, I suppose? Then I'm kind of getting used to it, so I won't feel scared or awkward by the time I wake up.. but.. yesterday night was really worst of the worst! I felt suffocating and exhausted by the time I woke up, and it scared the h* out of me! Around 8.30am I woke up, since I'm on my study leave meaning no class for today, I continued my sleeping, and I continued dreaming! At 11am, I woke up for another time, making sure I wouldn't continue my sleep so I opened my laptop and watched some youtube videos, checking facebook and some stuffs but I slept again and continued my dream 'again'! Anyway, I woke up at 1pm and promised myself to not sleep again.. Usually, I will just ignore my dream because whatever they are just dreams... but this dream really affect my real life even until now. I still keep thinking of this dream, I feel like this dream is speaking to me.. and I have to figure out what it means.

I  did some researches after then for nightmares, and these are what I've gotten:

Check out the full articles here: Dream Moods

"Because of its frightening nature, you are more likely to remember your nightmares and the vivid details. They have a bigger impact upon your waking mind. Its images stay with you throughout the day." ✔ CORRECT!

"Some studies show that people who are more sensitive, intuitive, creative, or imaginative are more prone to have nightmares." ☺ IS IT?HAHA

"One reason for nightmares may be a way for your unconscious to get your attention about a situation or problem that you have been avoiding." ☹ MAYBEE

"They convey an important message and help clear up the conflict in your life." ✌ I HOPE

Reading it from the start, my dream sounds so dramatic!hahaaa.. No, I ain't gone crazy stressed depressed because of this dream! I believe I'm in 'good HANDS' :D

By the way, I bought a set of candle holder today. I am really into candle lately. They just look calm and relaxing. It was really cheap anyway. I bought it for RM20 at Jusco Sunway Pyramid. 

Song of the day:

Kiki Idol - Tuhan Pasti Sanggup

ps: It's an Indonesian Christian Song. It was sung by an Indonesian Kid Idol. First time I heard it, I was really blessed. :) 

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

at easee .

If I could just spend one day without worrying of anything, escaping the rush of the city and embracing the nature; There must be 3 essentials things:

View

I am a person who loves view, well who doesn't?lol.. You could say I'm a view freak. I can just sit, stare and stone at annyy view (mountain, beach, farm, lighting, sky, traffics, etc). However, I like to see them in a higher place because the breezy wind soothes me off :) Honestly, by just staring at them can make my day and boost my mood.

Music

Mellow music is a must. They are just like my best friend ever. I rmb when I was home alone for the entire day, my mouth felt kind of numb because I didnt talk at all. So I guess when Im talking, it's like exercising my mouth haha! To release my numbness, I decided to sing instead of talking to myself lol!

Pictures

I like to stroll back to my old pictures. Sometimes I feel guilty for taking every moments for granted, but in someways I feel blessed to have those people in my life, to be able spending those precious moments with them. After seeing those pictures, I feel that we can do it again, repeating the moments we had together.. but things won't be the same anymore. Remember: pictures are preserved moments! What has been preserved wont turn as original anymore, and there is nothing better than original. So I'm living my life at the moment, not for yesterday, not for tomorrow but this moment. 

*Companion

Well I dont really need a companion to feel at ease.. but I would be more than happy having 'someone' I really love to be at my side. Have you seen my pomeranian puppy Brandy? I really love him so much. So it'd be my pleasure to bring him with me.. teehee :D

Drinks?

Hahaa when I'm alone, I tend to eat more than I usually do! I would love to have my tiramisu with me but then I wont feel at ease coz it's just gonna make me fatter!hahaha Anyway, Chrysanthemum tea is the best alternatives of tiramisu, and they are healthy! 

By the way, I'm moving to a new condo now! Yeay I'm so happy since it has a better appropriate internet connection than my previous one. I hope I wont have any trouble with the connection here lalalaa.. I also hope I can blog more since it's much faster now to upload pictures for my blog :D

Well, gtg to sleep now.. Good night world :)

Song of the day:

IU - Nagging

ps: im currently watching 'The Hero' Korea reality show. IU is one of the personnel there and im just so obsessed with her cuteness! She's very cutee!! 

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

Glitter Gradient Nails

Oh well.. it's been a while :) I have really been extremely busy for the past 2 months. It all started on May! I remember during that month, I was really burdened with assignments piling up and some stuffs need to be settled. Thank God, May passed!! And by the time I thought June would be much relieved, my calendar was being monopolized by assignments!! but I guess I was kind of get used to this busy-phase life already.. so no pressure no pressure :)

Anyway, Im obsessed with Gradient Nails lately. I watched some of the tutorials from youtube, most of them will use sponge to create nice smooth gradient. I just cant do that! LOL epic fail! Maybe Im not skilled enough or maybe my polishes are not opaque enough. I was not able to pick up the color from the sponge, meaning the color won't transfer from the sponge to my nails. Tell me WHY??! 

Anyway, I found this amazing technique from youtube as well to create beautiful gradient nails with glitter polish, without sponge!

                   

Despite the picture quality *sigh I dont have much light when I captured the pink nails that's why it doesnt look that appealing in the picture* However, I personally like the mint green one because Im currently so in love with mint color! And I think I put too much glitter over the pink polish, it makes the nail look dirty or just not appealing as the mint one. Anyway, I learned this technique from the channel below :)

BEYOND THE LIMIT

:D

Roller Coaster

This is one of my randomness writing this kind of post at such hour! However, lately I couldnt really sleep earlier, what I mean earlier is like 1 or 2am. I know right -.-

Sometimes we are just really mad with our situation, environment. But what makes us even more mad is the fact that we cant change them. It just stays there unless we deal, face and settle them.

Now think of roller coaster. I dont know about you, but I love theme park as much as I love my dessert. Have you ever queued for hours to just ride roller coaster? What makes it very interesting?
The slope. Roller coaster will raise you up high and then drop you at almost 90 degree position in a very fast speed.

Now back to the topic, why don't we take our situation just like riding roller coaster. Though we know riding roller coaster is scary but since we are on the ride already, just enjoy it. Scream as loud as you can but never give up because once you try to get off the roller coaster, you know what happen right.

Roller coaster wont be as fun as it is if they have a flat surface. Imagine if in our life, we never experience challenge, you will get bored and never ever step higher in life.

To share a little, I am inspired by me and my life to write this post. I am piled up by assessment, presentations, and final projects. Besides school stuffs, I also have to deal with my personal stuffs which honestly is much harder to deal with than my school stuffs. Writing this post is one of my ways to encourage myself.

So be cool if your roller coaster ride is now going down. It's the fun, isn't it?

DIY Nail design, Laura Mercier, Instagram

French Manicure with Gold Sparkle

I have been very obsessed with my DIY nail this week.

This nail design is very easy to create yet give a chic feminine look.

How to create this nail:

1. Apply base coat. (I am using Elianto base coat)

FYI: I used to always skip base coat. But I just realized base coat is really important! It protects your natural nail color.

2. Create the french manicure (White nail polish by The Face Shop)

There are loads of ways to do french manicure. I tried lots of methods but none of them succeed :(

Here's my trick: move your nail instead of the brush. If your original nail polish brush is too wide, make sure you only use half of them. Yuupp your skin gonna get messy but no worries you can use your remover to clean them. 

Fyi: this is my first time doing french manicure by myself. Im not using any special brush or tips or etc.

Fyii: the result might not be as perfect as when you're using special brush or tips.

3. Apply the sparkling gold polish (Gold sparkling polish by Etude House) 

Dab a little bit at the end of your nail. Make sure you don't put too much because we want to keep it simple. This gold polish is just to give more elegant look and add color.

4. Apply top coat (Seche Vite)

Seche Vite is a dry fast top coat. I love love love this top coat. It really makes my life a lot easier. I used to always chip my nail before it completely dries. That's why I really love this coat

Oil-free face by Laura Mercier

My face is very oily especially in the T-Zone area. That's why I always carry blotting paper in my make-up bag. Recently, I just bought Mineral Finishing Powder by Laura Mercier. I was surprised on how good it is to control my oil. The lady at the shop did tell me that this mineralize powder is good for oily skin. Anyhow, I just never expected this powder could be really good. After wearing it around 10hours, my face does not produce that much oil anymore. Before, I always blot my face after around 4-5 hours. So, I really recommend this powder if you have oily skin like me. I bought this for RM135 at Sunway Pyramid.

The product I was putting on:

1) Foundation Primer (sample, given to me with the powder) 

2) Silk Creme Foundation 

3) Mineral Finishing powder

Instagram

I have instagram account for quite long time ago but was not really active. Now Ive been spending quite sometime at Instagram. So, follow me please at jessyfrenatta. 

Last but not least, picture of the dayy...
