Titanium

First of all, I miss blogging so much. I learned the value of time now, where every second matters and you should learn to appreciate things more. And now finding the time to take pictures for my blog is so difficult, but I want to stay committed. Because this blog has been my baby, has been with me throughout my fragile moments, this blog has become my virtual diary. So I will keep moving on, and try to my best to keep updating!

Outfit of today's post :

top - scape market Singapore

hat - scape market Singapore

skirt - topshop

shoes - Stardivarius

Make up of today's post (and yes, I miss this hair color and this length. my hair grows so fast!)

This might be a lengthy post, but I just want to share what's on my thoughts. There might be a blogger who speaks through pictures, but I'm not the case. I don't have the skill to be a writer, but I'm a story teller, and I love stories (all kind of them), so here it goes.

The first thing that comes into my mind when writing titanium is that it means toughness.

tough

təf/

adjective (of a substance or object) strong enough to withstand adverse conditions or rough or careless handling.

Yes that word determines everything. Is a matter of a question,
"Do you think you're tough enough to face the world?"
Some can answer yes,
Some can answer, hmm maybe,
Some can answer, I'm trying my best,
Some can answer, no I'm not,
And some answers are just simply an illusion.

The point is, we may or we may not think we're tough enough, but in reality is the reverse. You may think you've been on a phase where after that phase you can say, "yes i'm stronger and i'm tougher", but in reality the answer is no. You're just giving yourself an excuse. Because when you see the real person who is tough, you can finally realize that no you are not there yet.

Then what happened to me. Saying the word tough it's easy, but doing it in action is the difficult part. It's easy to let your inner child comes out whenever bad things happened. You just simply complain and say I have the worst life ever. But then you realized, you have been closing your eyes all these times. Look around you, that's what I told to myself.

This life you have now is beautiful if you wanted it to be, but it can also be dark if you see it wrongly. Learn to see your life as a journey, you have to see that final destination, that happy place you're going to.

Learn to pick yourself up after you fall and feel week. Gain your strength step by step, where in every bad times you can see the outcome as "yes i'm stronger now"

Learn to appreciate more, to see life as a gift. Where the people you meet are not by accident, it's a purpose. Show more appreciation to the person you love, show that their presence matters to you.

Learn to be positive, and spread love wherever you go. Because the truth is this world needs more love, A lot of them.

Learn to love yourself enough. Why is this important? well , how can you give love when you don't understand the meaning of love? love starts by accepting yourself, realizing that you have received that love first when God created you.

Learn that you have a value. Yes you do. The value that you have may not appear to all people, but you know it, God knows it, and those who loved you see it too.

So every outcome of your life now could increase the level of your toughness. Everyone got their own level, never compare. You can say I'm so tough, but then you see other's story and you might take your own word back because they are the real proof being tough. But it's ok, everyone got their own story, we all have our own lessons, and we are being processed in different ways to become stronger. No matter what you're phasing now, you have the strength to face it.

Remember by the end of the day, you will be stronger, you will reach higher, and you'll finally gain the definition of tough. You are TITANIUM.

This thought was inspired by a true story. To those who endured a lot of fights in their life, yes you guys are titanium. I'm not on that level yet, but I'm on my way.

October Haul!

"I could go give shopping, but I'm not a quitter."

That quote sure says it all. You should not give up shopping, but you should learn how to shop wiser. But still, everyone got that certain things that they can't give up not buying right? For me, that's make up. You know I'm a make up freak, and I'm excited that my items have arrived. In this post, I'm gonna share about the products and what I think about it. I'm obsessed with lipsticks, especially the soft matte one.

The products that I bought were :

1. LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss in FLEUR

2. LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss in REBEL

3. LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss in BAZAAR

4. Colourpop Lippie Stix in BRINK

I'm definitely in love with Fleur. The color got that orange undertone, and it's perfect for that splash of color for the daily look. The color is quite similar with Limecrime "Riot", but Riot has that more red tone into it. Overall the product is long lasting, and with one layer you can see that color is very pigmented. However, after 1 meal, you can definitely see the color is fading, so if you want to make it more long lasting, just double the layer of the gloss!

Rebel oh rebel. Gosh I love the name Rebel, It sounds so fierce and sexy. I love the color of this gloss, you can see that the gloss i really pigmented with a purple undertone, it spreads evenly in my lips (sometimes there's certain products that don't spread evenly, and leave your lips chopped). The color is quite similar with MAC "Rebel", but you can see that this one got that Matte finish, and when you eat something, it still got that color. Btw, I like the after color after you have your meal (slightly pink, but still looks natural)

I've been looking for the perfect pink/coral color, that's not too extremely pink, but still pigmented. And this one sure fits my criteria! I love the color, it's perfect if you want to try the korean make up look (since most korean love the pink coralish lip color)

Last but not least, I tried out one Colourpo Lippie Stix in Brink. Why Brink? Simply because I want to buy a soft lipstick with natural color. This lippie stix is perfect for daily look, the color is a combination of nude taupe with a bit of brownish pink. The product also moisturize your lips, so that by the end of the day, you can still feel the delicacy of your lips.

I enjoyed writing this post so much, and I will share more next time about make up or maybe any new products that I try on. It's sure is hard to find a time to do these blogging stuff during my off days, but I'm not giving up! This blog is a part of me, and I want to keep on writing, and keep on sharing :) Keep the spirit high guys, don't let go that one thing you love!

Hi Guys! So It's been a week since I came to Singapore to start my new chapter of life, and I'm on Page 1 right now. Life moves forward, and I'm ready to write my story. So current updates : I'm back to Singapore to work, and for information I work in the retail industry! Soon I will reveal every single detail, but for now let's keep it that way

So, I learned the theory now, like when you haven't experience a certain thing, you wish you were on the other side of another thing. Example : when I was still on my holiday mode waiting for my working pass, I kept saying this to my mom "Gosh, I miss doing something that required my brain, my energy, I miss school too.. I want to work ASAP mom!" well now when I finally started my day 1 of work I can finally say, It was hectic, and it required a lot my energy.

I remembered during my first day of training I met a friend my fellow colleague and He said,"As long as you remember your passion, why at first you wanted this job so much, and keep that passion every single day, you wouldn't feel like as if your working!" That words hit me, and wow that person was amazing, He was that "passionate" type person that simply knew what he wanted to do. Wouldn't it be a dream to know exactly what you're suppose to do in life? And now, it;s officially been 1 week since I started work, and I want to say, I enjoyed it. Working sure drained my energy a lot, a lot of running (since my work place is so far from home, and I woke up late twice this week), but it's all a part of growing up. When you come to this stage, your perspective will change, and you learn to appreciate little things more. But still, as long as you remember your passion, everything will be ok.

Also, I want to share, it is important to find balance in your life! I discussed this with my best friend few days ago, that it is important for us not be drawn into something so much. Like if you love to work, you put your whole life into it, or if you like to study, you just keep studying without socializing. The point it there's certain time for every thing, there's time where you have to commit to work, there's time where you have to be caring to your family, there's time to keep up with your friends, and there's also time to keep up with your self (me time). So here I am trying to find balance in my life, and make every single day counts.

A bit story on today's outfit post,

I know that I wouldn't have much time to take photo of my clothes all the time since I'm working now, so.... I already saved many pics of my ootd, so that I can keep on blogging frequently! I remembered my passion, and I've decided to keep on going, I want this blog to keep moving forward too :)

P,S.

Soon I'm gonna share more about Balancing life in my next next post!
