14 Days

Two more weeks, 14 more days!! It's the end of July already. Gawd!! My last summer in Ames just past like that. I can't believe there're only two more weekends here in Ames for me. He said: "Two more weeks only, do what you want and need to do here before you go, eat what you want and like to eat now before you leave." My mind went blank. I do not know what I want or how I want it to be for these last two short weeks.

How will I feel when it's the very time to go?
I know I'll be sad; I hope I won't be too sad.

Review: Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Deodorant

Summer is all about sweat and scorching sun. For ladies who love to exercise and keep themselves active without having B.O in this hot summer, Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is a must-have.

This is a new product of Dove, launching on May 2009 in US. This deodorant claims to create stubble free for longer and minimizes the visual appearance of hair over time. After using it for more than a week, I think there is some truth to the claims. First, I love the lightly scented smell of rose. It's just so refreshing. Second, this deodorant stick goes on with a dry feel. I simply love this one because you will never want to angle up your arms, stucking there waiting for the deodorant to dry before putting up your clothings. Then, It also moisturizes the irritating after-shave underarm skin. Last but not least, it lightens the underarm area which shows darker tone due to long term shaving without moisturizer.

All in all, I definitely love this deodorant. What is better is that, you can go to this site http://www.dove.us/visiblysmooth#/visiblysmooth/coupon.aspx/ and get a $2 off coupon. You pay less than two dollars for this great product. Sweet!!!

Dreams

Very soon, I'll be landing in another country (which I called home) and start a new life. Ever since the counting down till the days home started, I have a lot of fantasies about my coming future, be it in my dreams, when I swim, or when I jog. Those pictures are just so tempting, tempting me to move towards that direction. Well, I decided to do a checklist here today. A checklist that composed of my dreams (& hopefully can be realized soon in the future) .

MY JOB

• Have my own big table.
• In a fully AC place.
• Number of employees in the company at least 100.
• Have a comfy office chair.
• Have a 22-inch LCD monitor on my table.
• My own extension number.
• A pile of files/works that can keep me working.
• Dress code: formal. Heels a must.
• Super good internet connection in the company.
• Free membership to a fitness center. (or just let me have a fitness center nearby, I am willing to pay myself. Boo.)

MY HOUSE

• Near my workplace.
• Fully AC.
• Small.
• Fully carpeted.
• Has a 32-inch flat screen TV.
• Bath tub.
• A fridge of course.
• A wardrobe enough to store all my clothing. Preferably a separate one for my hundreds of pairs of heels.
• A big mirror somewhere, but not in my room.
• Broadband internet connection, so that I can online even if I am 'doing business' in the bathroom.
• A very small garden in front (minimal maintenance).
• A park or a lake nearby.
• Mr. 11 is accessible in a 15 minutes driving distance, if not in my house. :)...
• A dog (named mow mow) sits at home waiting for me to go home everyday.
• Possibly a piano too.
• Do not need to be near to a hawker center. I am more than willing to walk a few miles for food. (I can even live with wheat bread and tuna, or a cheaper meal of wheat bread and peanut butter)

Is this too much to ask for? Maybe. Maybe not.

Is it going to be realized? Who cares. Live big, dream big!

I'll be the luckiest of the luckiest person in the world if everything in the checklist become my reality. :)...

We shall see how much differences are there in my life and my expected life in a month time. Haha...

Old

What're you going to do when you are old, old like 85 years old?

If you're lucky enough, you have filial children and grandchildren, you have enough money to spend, your brain is not fully dead yet, your physical still allows you to carry on with your daily life without adding too much burden to people around you. Is that all one can have and do when one is old?

If you're old and you tend to repeat and repeat on what you say, they think you're annoying.
If you're old and you can't hear clearly, they don't even bother to say one more time.
If you're old and you walk slower than the slowest, they think you should just sit and don't go anywhere.
If you're old and you still want to do things by yourself, they think you're just being stubborn.

Why getting old has to be the last stage of a human life? Is it fair to let a person who has gone through so much after years and years in life to be THIS OLD?

What else do you think you will ask for when you're this old?

'I want my grandkids to love me'
"I love my grandpa, so so much"

One of the best thing of going home for good is that, you can shop like as if there is no tomorrow. Yes!!! I have been shopping a LOT since I know I am leaving this shopping heaven. I somehow can't remember how's shopping in Malaysia is like already. Malaysia in my impression has nothing too cool to shop for. Maybe I am just giving myself more excuses to shop more at the moment. Maybe I need to go home this time and discover myself what's in Malaysia. :)...

I got my MacBook Pro (free iPod Touch) and Sony Ericsson Xperia this morning. Although I was pretty annoyed by the Fedex lady who woke me up at 9.30am with continuos door bell ringing, these items enough to make my morning a beautiful one. I love love love love my new gadgets!!! I am pretty much staying home all day recently either waiting for all my purchases to arrive or playing with all my cool gadgets. Awesome!! Life can never be better...

Beauty Facts

How to get the best underarm shave?
Cosmopolitan August issue: Pull skin taut with one hand, then shave in a "t" pattern. Run your razor from top to bottom, then left to right, for a close shave. Cool!

Care for Feet
BellaSugar: Jimmy Choo, a luxury fashion designer best known for his hand-made women's shoes (He is a Malaysian), dished advice on caring for feet!!! Datuk Choo opts out of going barefoot on the sand, choosing instead to wear sandals. He added:

"You have to look after your feet, keep them clean and healthy. You should wash them every night in warm, salted water before going to bed."

True piece of advice!! :)...

Have a great Sunday!!!

Lioele Beyond the Solution bb cream Review

Bb cream (Blemish Balm cream) is getting extremely popular in Asia. It was originated from Germany and widely spread in Korea. It became the most favourite product of Korea celebrities. Some people even called it the miracle cream. What makes it so special is that it is a skincare/ healing product combined with make up, which means it does wonders to your skin while covering up. There are different types of bb cream, whitening, anti-wrinkles, lighten acne scars, etc.



I purchased Lioele Beyond the Solution bb cream few months ago. I got it from an ebay seller Legendeaux who is based in Korea for less than $20 shipped. There are actually many other brands available, BRTC, Skin79, Missha, Hanskin. I chose Lioele because it has pretty good reviews and it is not overpriced.

Well, my primary intention of purchasing this bb cream is to has a natural coverage for my acne scars and to heal the scars without clogging the pores. However, I think Lioele gives only sheer coverage (like a tinted moisturizer). It does not cover acne scars very well. Besides the sheer coverage, if you are looking for a bb cream to minimize tiny visible pores and improve the texture of your skin, Lioele is for you. It does not clog pores and it works very well in covering visible pores. Also, this 50ml Lioele bb cream is enough to last for half a year, or even more. :)...

Word of advice, even though bb cream supposed to work like a moisturizer/skincare product, do not wear it to sleep and always remove it with make up remover. Stay pretty!!!
