Six Degrees of Separation

Typography May 17, 2013 0

I'm pretty sure I told you how I like to listen to The Script so let's just skip that part for now. They have a song called Six Degrees of Separation and I decided to kind of find an appropriate picture to describe the song sort of. Play the song somewhere if you could.

FIRST, YOU THINK THE WORST IS A BROKEN HEART

For me, this is the worst stage so I really agree with The Script there. This is also what will kill you emotionally. Or maybe that's the second. I don't know. Because I'm pretty sure that these two are partners at some point.

WHAT'S GONNA KILL YOU IS THE SECOND PART

This is a stupid thing to do over someone because come on! Trying to end your life for someone who doesn't even care makes no sense. Just get over it. Or at least the killing part. I'm pretty sure that in the song, they didn't mean killing as in its literal meaning but I just want to let that one out because it's what the picture depicts. So yeah. WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT TO YOURSELF?

AND THE THIRD, IS WHEN YOUR WORLD SPLITS DOWN THE MIDDLE

We don't live in a perfect world with a perfect heart shape like that but you know, shit happens and sabi nga nila sa Filipino, una-una lang yan. No idea too!

AND FOURTH, YOU'RE GONNA THINK THAT YOU FIXED YOURSELF

That's the spirit! It's all in the mind. Although you might not be fully healed yet, at least you're making an effort. Somehow. You know, that too shall pass! Maybe not today, tomorrow, this week, next week, or this month even but if you'll let it be, you'll be okay.

FIFTH, YOU SEE THEM OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE

This is what I call the make it or break it stage. It's either you be happy that she's with someone else or be sad that she's with someone else. Third wheel thing is kind of a different story but that's kind of applicable as well. If you didn't break up or something and this happened, goodness gracious! Good luck.

AND THE SIXTH, IS WHEN YOU ADMIT THAT YOU MAY HAVE MESSED UP A LITTLE

This is actually a sad song in general but then again after the sixth degree, you move on to the seventh which is to accept the cruel reality of life and make yourself happy because you deserve it. If you're the one who messed things up, then at some point, you probably deserve to be happy too but I'm not sure. Just kidding! You know, you hopefully picked up something from your mistake and make it right next time. That's all! Good vibes.

DIY Green Tea Face Mask

Shikimikie Blog May 16, 2013 3

For some reason, I think my sister's watching too much YouTube Tutorials and she's been making different masks and stuff like that so I decided to join her little party because my skin is really being a bad bish right now. I don't know if I told you guys about this already because with 478 posts, I don't know what's going on already so yeah. Okay, as I was saying, I break out (as in break out) once a year so that time is now. and when my skin is extra greedy, I would break out twice so hopefully this would be it na for this year.

1. You have to have green tea leaves and what you can do is that you can prepare yourself a cup of tea and then after you do so, do not throw the leaves because that's what you'll be working on.

2. Just add a liberal amount of sugar. It actually depends on how gritty you want your mask to be. The more sugar you put, the rougher the mask would be so if you want to exfoliate big time, then add a lot!

3. Add honey. It has moisturizing property and it'll make your concoction pasty which will make it easier to apply onto yer face.

4. Mix all the ingredients until you somehow see that it's looking like this. There might be too much honey in this picture but never mind! Also, it'll be very nice if your tea leaves are finer than this because it's rather difficult to apply. Sort of.

5. Apply evenly and leave for five minutes. Or at least that's how long we waited before rinsing this out.

Who Else Am I Watching on YouTube? | UK Edition

YouTube May 15, 2013 1

Recently, I've been watching more British people on YouTube and I can't be any happier. Exag! LOL. So anyways, I will be giving you guys five new YouTubers that I adore and watch and admire. Other than having an English accent, I wouldn't really categorize them as of what type of videos they do or whatever.

JACK AND FINN HARRIES @ JacksGap

I am aware that this YouTube channel belongs to Jack but they kind of do it together, yeah? Whatever floats your boat.

ALFIE @ PointlessBlog

MARCUS @ MarcusButlerTV

HELLOOOO! That's how Marcus greets in all of his videos. Sometimes it's annoying but it's somehow entertaining as well. This will really sound weird but his rosy cheeks gets me all the time. Yup, I said it!

LOUISE @ Sprinkleofglitter

Just when you thought that it's all boys in this list, HA! I really like Louise because apart from making YouTube videos, she's a blogger as well. She actually does make up tutorials, talk about beauty products, and sometimes just do a video about some useful (or not) life tips and stuff like that. She's just adorable!
