Hey everyone!

I've not posted any entries in a while.. Most likely gonna back-post my articles to eliminate and "blanks" on the calendar. XP

For now I just wish to share with you that CherryCulture is having 25% off for L.A. Colors products! Grab yours now!

Im so so so tempted to join this shopping spree but am torned between saving up for up-coming trip and this exciting sales event... How~ what should I do?

Hmm.. Tell you what I have in mind. If you are located in Singapore and wanna get something during this sale but not enough items to cover the shipment fees, drop me a mail now!

I will consolidate all requests and advise if there are enough orders to do a spree where shipping cost per item falls within USD1.50 per item. How's that?

Alternatively, just drop me a note and I will keep you in touch when we have enough orders to do that Spree!

As to how much i'll charge for coordinating this and how we can arrange for deposits and payment, we can discuss this if there's enough interested parties.

Ok, thats all for now.

Happy Shopping peeps!

It's also the GREAT SINGAPORE SALE season, so watch your pockets people! Never buy on impulse ya~ unless you can afford it. XD

Weee Hee~~!!!

I've started out a quest to post as many mini reviews of my cosmetics, skincare, makeup removers, whatever and ever so on so forth.. blah blah blah lala la.... to and fro work!! At the very least, on my way to work while I'm yet too exhausted by the end of the working day.

If you've been following my Health & Beauty Blog at Pixnet, you'd have noticed that it's slowly getting posted up!!

Also, I am trying to catch up on the photos to be uploaded!

The problem with uploading of photos is not the internet connection.. its the pre-upload that's tiring, time-consuming, and sometimes, confusing me too~

Coz I am lazy to rename my files after they are uploaded, so the best way to ensure after uploading into my blog I only have very minimal things to do, I will sort them out in my Thumbdrive folders and have all of the renamed!

This way, the file name tells me what photo it is and easier for me to organize them into the folders of my online album too!

Not to forget that these photos are also used for my reviews! So it is very important that I checked through them to get rid of blurred and out of focus photos, rename it, sort it out before and after uploading into my blog site.

Anyway, I'm just so happy this week. Completed 2 major steps for 2 major projects and I finally feel that I've made significant progress >> That's at work. Outside of work, I've been enjoying the fun and stressless kinda mini review blogging using the mobile app of my pixnet account. Mini reviews by my standards, save me lots of time on research, data consolidation, carefully planned review shots and swatches and applications shots. If necessary and possibily done, a video clip will be shot to further contribute to the content of a Review Blog post.

So such mini reviews are really convenient and hassle-free for me.  I'm dropping snippets of my reviews in points while I'm transiting to/from work. Then when I reach home, I'll just insert the uploaded products photos into the post and open it up for viewing!

I hope that my reviews are helpful, please do make your presence known if you find it beneficial, and let me know if there're ways for me to improve on my blog posts.

As for this blog, it is really really meant for me to post up random, unrestricted topics that I felt like doing.. like now! Supposedly to be a post to announce my mini review series, yet I strayed off-topic in between the paragraphs of this post.. hope that you're able to stay with me and not get all confused..

FYI - I seems to have quite regular readers who came straight to this URL.. how do I know? the blog provides some simple stats, and it shows that out of 100% of viewers/visits, 40% is direct request.

Very interesting thing for me to find out.. but it also makes me felt even more curious of the audience of my blog here at BlogSpirit.

Shout out to me ok?! 

Especially if you are one of those that pops in directly and not those who found me via links, search engines.

OK, enough of blabber for now.. wana continue with some video editing and hopefully, can post up a video showing how I put on my makeup soon!

Tata~

We were out on a toiletries shopping trip at the neighbourhood mall (Compass Point) to get some shampoos and what not...

As we alight from the bus and walking back home from the bus stop, my little brother said something that makes me laughed...

Direct translation:

Brother: "There's a strong force stopping me from eating this.."

He shows us what he meant in the above clip..

That's how fun and random we gets on a HOT, Sunday afternoon.. where the heats gets the best out of us.

Have a great weekend!!

16 Things That it Took Me Over 50 Years to Learn (by Dave Barry)

I love the hilarious little signs that hang on the walls of Jimmy John's sandwich shop (Mmmm, Jimmy Johns), and I took my son there tonight for dinner. One sign that always really tickles us both is shown below --- it was written by my all-time favorite writer, humorist Dave Barry on his 50th birthday. Although it is very funny, there's a lot of truth and some good advice in there, too. Hope you get a chuckle out of it (my son's favorites are #1, #10, and #15. I'm quite partial to #2, only because it's so true!). :)

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Final thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it’s up to the women to stomp the snot out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

--- Dave Barry

I believe most iphone and Android users are not unfarmiliar with the cost saving app called Whatsapp.
Some might have also used this other app for quite some time.

So... what am I talking about??

It's none other than LINE by Naver!

They have even released the desktop versions for Mac & Windows, plus tablet version too!
Download it here!

When you use it on phone, its tied to your phone number and detects/links your contacts (you've gotta add them manually/import it into LINE contact list).

I just downloaded it to my netbook and it looks similar to how MSN pops up, but the same interface as how it looks like on your phone! It can make calls, one-to-one chat & group chat!

The same goes to the available stickers, emoticons and emoji! Which is my FAVOURITE feature of LINE!

Their selection of emoji, emoticons and specifically stickers are my FAVE!!!! SOOOOOooooooo CUTE! And many of the expressions and actions as portrayed by these emoticons/emoji/stickers are very much related to our daily life! Hence the ease of not using much words over a messenger, yet achieve the objective of sending the intended messages across.

I've captured some screenies of these cute stickers/emoticons/emoji below: 

Conventional but pre-set facial expressions made of traditional symbols on keyboards!

Super cute actions-represented stickers are found in this series!

This white little guy series of stickers can simply get you bursting into laughter just by viewing it; you'll sure find 1 that's able to express how you feel, what you're doing or wana do from this series.

This girly stickers also provide many actions / activities and expression for you to express yourself 

My favourite feature: Emojis that are SUPER CUTE!!

Tell me now, AREN'T YOU LIKING IT ALREADY?? Say yes!! I bet you do!! hahaha

*eh-hem* Too excited already~ XD

Get yours now!!! Start exressing what yourself with all these cute little emoji/stickers/kaoji now!

Finding Happiness instead of waiting for Happiness to find you!

I just wanna share a quick post while I'm on the go.

Now and then, I will have my thoughts "let-loose" and it will wander from the north pole till the south pole. Sometimes, it simply went out of the world.

Of course, at some point in time, I will be reflecting (its an in-born habit that's been there since I'm ever having a conscious thought process).

I will think about what I've done recently, and perhaps until i'm super young and memories are now a fuzz. No matter what I reflect on, somehow or rather, my thoughts will find itself at home with happy thoughts & recollections.

This kind of set a good state of mind for me, especially when you are having days / moments that just doesn't wanna be kind to you. When this happens, most of the time it not only reset you r state of mind, your feelings, it also does this thing I would call, your "static field". This change always bring about positivity in you, and around you, and definitely brings about a "happy cycle" as I would like to call it.

I used to be rather "emo" before I was 12, although I was cheery, but many times emo. I believe it was hormones at work during puberty. But as life gets tougher as you grow up, it gets harder to steer clear of being emotionally down.

So how do you stay happy? You can expect nature to take care of that but sometimes things just doesn't work out. I think that its easier to rely on yourself to find happiness than for you to sit around, complain that life's never easy, or you've try to appreciate the little things in life but everyone and everything is going against you.. Blah blah..so on..

What I do is, like I shared earlier, allow your thoughts to take a stroll, You could maneuver it to your mist precious memories that you've been ever so delighted and high-spirited. Or, just start by truly appreciate what you have instead of what you dont have.

The chinese saying goes: 比bi 上shang 不bu 足zu, 比bi 下xia 有you 余yu

When you compare yourself to those whom you think living a much better life than you, obviously you felt like yours is miserablr. But look at it differently, comparing yours to those whom you think are unfortunate, how do you feel?

Lastly, (as its getting too long and typing on hp is tiring too) I love the chinese saying that goes:

知zhi 足zu 常chang 乐le，笑xiao 口kou 常chang 开kai

It means to be appreciative of what you have, happiness & laughters will always be with you.

Ok, time to stop.... Haven't done such a long post on "thoughts & sharing".. It's sure gonna be interesting when I read it again years later. Xp

Cheers,
FS.Rain
