Weird unidentifiable sensations
Jul 26th
I dunno if this happens to everyone (I hope not), but I have moments when…
- I feel the need to stretch every muscle in my body, but even after stretching a lot, I still feel very “unstretched”.
- My shoulders feel unusually tense, and shoulder massages don’t help.
- I feel like I need to c-c-crraaaccckkk my back, but can’t because I don’t know how.
- I want to burp many long, loud, satisfying burps, but never manage to, because they are either not long, loud or satisfying enough.
- I feel a dull, stifling, tight feeling around my chest area, like there’s something stuck there. But obviously there’s nothing.
- I just generally feel very restless and lethargic, like I’m meant to be doing something but can’t figure out what.
Notice that every sensation is punctuated by a helpless inability to do anything about it.
Sometimes there are identifiable triggers, like a large meal (or meals that have curry), a long bus/car/train ride, after I sleep with my head on the table or a long day outside.
But other times, they arise seemingly out of nowhere. They’re like sneaky girlfriend mood swings that terrorize boyfriends of the world, jumping on me when I least expect it.
It makes me want to scream into pillows, gnaw on table legs and go aarrrrggggghhhhh! Not necessarily in this order.
3 anime guys I would totally marry
Jul 21st
This entry is mainly to satiate my fangirl lightheadedness now. Non-anime watchers: Don’t bother. Anime watchers: You’re not likely to get anything out of this either. Haha. You’ve been warned.
Disclaimer: I love you bf! You are the only one! Many muacks!
Moving on (that was fast), I have been watching animes nowadays n they really, really have a way of making me swoon like there’s no tomorrow. Why don’t these guys exist in real life!?
First up, we have:
1. Himura Kenshin
I have this weakness for guys who are practically invincible. Add a killer sense of humour and poof, I was his. Talk about easy. This can be vaguely translated to having a damsel in distress complex, but let’s ignore that for now.
He’s a little short though.
2. Sagara Sousuke
This guy here is easier to relate to because 1) He’s not from the Meiji-era, 2) He’s not from the Meiji-era. I have a strange feeling that Guy #2 is an updated (improved?) version of Guy #1 though. Especially in the height department.
Note the X scar on the left cheek. Dead giveaway.
Anyway, he’s also really strong… (le sigh), and completely invulnerable to romantic advances (wtf!), except to the female lead, who he is of course meant to be with until the end of time. Kya! <3
3. Okazaki Tomoya
This one is a little different from the above 2 almost-carbon-copies. He’s not invincible, for one.
He’s just a pretty normal guy living a pretty normal life, but wait… there’s a catch (and a similarity to #1 and #2). He makes up for his non-invincibility with incredible self-restraint when it comes to girls! I love decent guys who can actually genuinely want to be friends with a girl just to be friends. He doesn’t ever try to do funny things to girls, unless you’re talking about funny in the lame/slapstick sense. Heck, he doesn’t even think about it!
And of course, his sense of humour also kills me. I love it.
In short, I have a super weak spot for guys who are strong, unassuming, unwaveringly faithful, decent and inherently good. Bad boys are so 2008.
Everyday Minerals Cypress Swatch
Jul 14th
One of the most highly raved eye colours from Everyday Minerals, and rightfully so! This colour is a beautiful mix of olive and gold. 
Reminds me of grecian goddesses heh. And goes perfectly with asian skintones.
Pressie selecting rocks!
Jul 14th
The bf is letting me choose my present for my birthday this year and I’m duly excited! Isn’t he the sweetest? Hee. ♥ After weeks of pondering, I’ve kinda decided to get a bag from Coach (which I love).
I heart their Madison range soooo much can! If I strike toto now I’ll buy all of it just to admire at home! Le sigh. So below are some that I adore…
As you can see the colours are varying around the range of white/gold and beige… and I love the Op Art prints. Trying to gear my entire wardrobe towards the gold/white/peach colour scheme. Partly because they’re so easy to match, and these colours are so classy and timeless and remind me of pretty things like chiffon dresses and autumn leaves. Love!
How to Touch Up Mineral Makeup
Jul 13th
It’s almost about the same routine as touching up normal makeup…
- Blot face. I prefer tissue paper over normal blotting paper cos it doesn’t suck away all the moisture from my skin, which makes it produce more oil eventually.
- Get a tiny amount of foundation (lesser than the amount for the first application). Do the usual swirl, tap, and buff! An alternative to the foundation is to use the finishing powder instead.
- Mist face lightly with a thermal spray (I use Avene Thermal Water) to set the foundation.
