Blurry Week

This week was a total blur. Life happened. Everything went by sooo fast and I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath. Whew. I’m glad this week was over. Work days were a total hell for me and I couldn’t wait to leave already! Hehe It was definitely one of the toughest week of my life. It was so dreadful I didn’t even wanna go to work anymore and my moods are going up and down. One minute I’m happy as hell the next moment I’m pissed as hell. Have you ever felt like that? Feeling all suppressed and choked up but couldn’t really explain  how you exactly feel? It was like that for me. I didn’t really know the root of the problem I just wish it won’t happen again. Hehe okay I know it’s impossible I just hope it won’t happen so soon again. Haha So that’s a bit of what happened this week. Work was very stressful and at night I just wanna go straight to bed. I haven’t even read for a couple of days already! : ( and it made me sad.. Anyway currently I’m reading the 3rd installment of Mortal Instruments – City of Glass by Cassandra Clare.



So the first book, City of Bones is about the world of Shadowhunters (demon hunters) and Downworlders ( werewolves, vampires, fairies). Basically the story starts with a girl named Clary. She lived the most normal life with her mother till one day her mother went missing and that’s when she found out little by little how far from normal her life is.


The second book, City of Ashes, hmmm how should I say it? More emotional stuff? It still has the same adventure scenes but as the story goes on the characters’ relationship with each other became closer. Clary is already a shadow hunter and in this book she discovers more about her abilities and the world of Idris. 



Its genre is fantasy / adventure sorta like Harry Potter. They have their own world, communities, laws and powers! Yeah I’m a big fan of fantasy books. Hihi It was a fast read and I had so much fun reading it. Ever since I finished reading the Harry Potter series I’m out on a search for the next book series that has a similar genre without the childish content and this is it. I am definitely recommending this book. : )

Let's go to the vanity part,hehe Last week my skin was sooooo dry. Hell it makes it soo hard to put make up on and my skin didn’t look so fresh. It was because of the stress that I’m experiencing from work. So I went to Laneige to look around their stuffs and came across the Water Bank Care line. The Laneige specialist recommended the Water Bank Cream 2_EX for combination skin. They also have it for oily skin, so don’t worry. Haha It’s their best seller for moisturizing creams. The cream is gel type and it smells so good. So I got one and went home all giddy! 


This little jar contains a moisturizing cream full of wonders! It really made my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I use it day and night. In the morning I apply the water bank cream first before putting on the dual foundation I got from them as well the Snow Crystal Dual Foundation. For the water bank cream it doesn’t have any SPF in it but I didn’t mind since the dual foundation has SPF 22. Therefore I’m still sun protected! Hehe At night I use this after washing my face with a cleanser and add eye cream. I’m a sucker for skin care stuff. Hehe The most important thing is to religiously use them. I buy a lot of these stuff but I always finish them. :D except of course if it made my skin itchy and blotchy! Hehe



So the jar also includes a spatula for hygienic purposes in getting some cream from the jar. : ) I think you should definitely try this. My skin was soo dry these past few days but with this cream it turned things around in less than a week. I’m impressed and would definitely be going back for their other stuff! : ) I’m thinking of getting a new eye cream next hehe

I am recommending the Mortal Instruments series and Water Bank Cream 2_EX to all the girlies! : ) Let me know if your experience as well! : )

I’d love to know what is current moisturizer, please do share! : )

With much love,

A Rainy Day Rambling

Lately the weather feels so cold. As I’m typing this I can’t help but look at my window. I can barely see anything outside and it just looks foggy. It’s been raining the whole day and I just wanna stay in bed. But as you can see, I got up and still went to work for like a couples of hours then I went home early. I was afraid to be stranded somewhere in a taxi for God knows how long. Sigh. Right now my mind is just a mess. I can’t think straight. I’ve been nervous for 2 days now. I can’t stop fidgeting and move around. : (

Yeah I’m nervous for tomorrow’s job interview I just don’t wanna screw it up. I still don’t have anything to wear yet. Which reminds me that I have to check on what to wear for tomorrow before going to bed. Sigh this weather is making me feel so sleepy. zzzzZZZzzz. Kidding! I’m still up! Yeah I’m sleepy but it’s not gonna stop me from rambling. So tomorrow is the big day. I still have to go to work in the morning and go to that interview in the afternoon. I’m surfing the internet now for office fashion inspiration. Hihi I just wanna make a good impression and I want to dress nicely. Haha I wish I can wear something like this…



So anyway, back to what I did today, I got home early and to amuse myself on a rainy day like this, I made fried potatoes! LOL it made me happy for like 10 minutes or so. Haha and happiness ended when my plate got empty. 



Then I watched some Korean drama titled Miss Ripley. Oh Lee Dae Hae is sooo pretty. : ) I envy her skin. It’s soo white and smooth and her fashion is totally girly. Haha too bad I had to stop watching after the second episode. I still have to download the others. So aside from her flawless skin I like the way she carries herself. It’s obvious that her makeup style is just the natural look and she looks like a doll! ^___^ 







That’s it for tonight. It’s raining and I wanna stay in bed. Hehe and by the way I’m reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I just finished I’m in No Mood for Love earlier. It’s fun, light and girly. : ) You can give it a try. It’s a quick read.

Let me know what you think of Lee Dae Hae, do you adore her as I do? : )

And if anybody has read City of Bones, let me know if it’s any good. :)

Hope to hear from you girlies!

Much love,
Lolita
