Luscious LUSH Valentine's Haul

Image
I'm not a very big Lush person as of the moment. I mean, if I were richer I would be 100%. LOL. Broke girls problem. I went to Shibuya recently and got these.  Stuff I got. I was tempted to buy some non V-day products but I was like, nope! NOT GONNA MAKE MORE DAMAGE. Probably next time.  First thing that caught my eye was this. Mainly because it's huge LOL.  You actually have to crack this thing open to reveal the heart shaped thing with heart bits in it.  The smell is very powdery and sweet. I don't know if I like it.  This I actually shouldn't buy because I watched that some YouTubers didn't like the smell of it but I can't resist the cuteness!  This is how it looks like. It's not how I would imagine a unicorn horn looks like though. Close.  It smells powdery. LOL that's how I would describe everything basically. With all seriousness though, it actually smells kind of citrusy. Kind of lavendery. Smells nice. Me likey.  I kind of cheated haha. Wh...

Get to know me by 0.5% more

1. Are you named after anyone?  •  I don't think so. You know! It's funny how I got my name. My mom actually misspelled it. I was supposed to be MIKI (惟悭) not MIKIE (ćƒŸć‚­ć‚Ø). And so my mom became really careful not to name our youngest MARI (ćƒžćƒŖ) to MARIE (ćƒžćƒŖć‚Ø). It doesn't matter much in the Philippines but it makes all the difference in Japan.  2. When was the last time you cried?  •  The other day. #realtalk  3. Do you have kids? •  Not as of this writing. Not very soon actually. Can I just share? When I was in college, our Marriage and Family professor asked us one by one how many children do we want in the future and so I said two. And then at the end of it, she said that by deciding how many children we want ahead of it even happening, we already killed those not counted who are really destined to be our children.  4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?  •  Oh that would be awesome. I kind of want that. Like, ...

Healing the Believers Chest

Image
First of all, it's such a beautiful title for such demonic act. HOW INAPPROPRIATE. Yes, I watched the video (more than once). I wish I didn't though. Because there's no way I can unwatch it now. I know from the start that it would haunt me forever but then I thought I wanted to see. I know I couldn't do anything about it and from watching it alone, I really feel sorry for the ones left behind and I feel sorry that they had to see him die like that. I wish they would have all the strength they need to move on from the situation. Although very likely they won't.  SO, they murdered the remaining Japanese and the Young Pilot which resulted to the death of two of Jordan captives which apparently, are related to ISIS. Can I just mention how they burned the pilot alive? Are they out of their minds or something? Do they even have soul? Conscience? No? And then there's that bombing of the ISIS headquarters and stuff. Would this ever end?  ā€œSo whoever has assaulted you, ...

Bare Necessities

Image
Yup necessities. I can't wear make-up at work so I didn't get more make-up than what I already have except these new babies.  I had the BB Pure Mineral before and it lasted for almost 6 months. Like, I didn't realize it would last me that long. Maybe because before, I would try a lot in one time and would alternately use it and this time I only used the BB and will only use this CC so I'm expecting it to last as long.  CC's WATERY CONSISTENCY CC Cream apparently doesn't have much coverage. Like, I've had two CCs so far and surprisingly the two ressembled each other.  Then this blush. I don't put on blush all that much but there are times when I feel like putting on some color to my cheeks, then I would. I don't know but I guess I'm just not used to wearing a full face of makeup, get me? Whenever I wear a bold lipstick, (and by bold I don't even mean bold-bold), I don't wear any other thing any more. I just don't think I can handle it ...

February is UP! Mamemaki.

This kind of post is my favorite kind of post to write before. Like, I don't even know why. Maybe because at the beginning of each month, I usually have a lot of things that I look forward to. Places to go, food to eat, friends to see and all that Jazz. But we all know that only half of my plans can make it thru to the second stage. And there are so many stages. LOL. It actually depends whether I would have two days off, if I'm tired or whatever, or my mood basically. Can I just say that I have already failed today's plan of going to Harajuku-Shibuya? Work ended kind of late and I got home kind of late so after work, I set an alarm at 12 and I was like, sleepy and then I thought mmm...I still have a lot of time to go there anyways. LAZY! I should get a planner. I have a journal but I would like to let you know that I haven't seen that since July of last year. Yup!  I'm turning 23 this month. I have had lots of conversation with my mom about it recently. Mainly her ...

And it snowed again!

Image
Probably the third time we've experienced snow this year. The snow was quite unexpected. Although they did say at work that it was broadcasted, I still didn't believe it because my weather app told me otherwise. Damn you weather app. Although it did catch up later in the morning.  The bicycle parking area already accumulated snow after a few minutes.  One thing I didn't like about it is it's really dangerous walking thru this path. I really anticipated slipping but oh so glad it didn't happen. Paranoid.  I thought this looks pretty. If my mom were here, I would have actually seated there for sure.  It actually snowed harder this time than the last time.  I was biking and was literally eating snow. Is that bad? Girl I was legit hydrated when I got home. LOL.  From afar, it looks like there's some Hanami going on and it was really really beautiful.  Obligatory selfie  Winter Wonderland The snow in the afternoon. I anticipated to slip even more this ...

Hunger Games in Real Life

I strongly strongly despise terrorism. Funny how not too long ago, I was searching YouTube for videos on how Lethal Injection works. Then, I learned about these terrorists trying to kill some journalists who may have offended them but they have no right to kill people who are just trying to express themselves. They don't have the right to kill anybody in that sense. But of course that's just mainstream media. Of course they're probably doing stuff behind the scenes.  Recently, they attacked Paris and killed journalists who worked for Charlie Hebdo and new threat has been posed for Diamalar. I wish the Diamalar staff do whatever it takes to protect themselves but if you still wish to express yourselves, do so. Pen for a pen. Yeah, right. There were also some other bombing incident related to terrorism I believe.  But the main reason I am blogging this is because of the captured Japanese journalist and his "spy" friend. I don't know how they captured the guys an...
