Casio Exilim EX-JE10 (Pink)

I stroll through Best Denki Senayan City after my lunch break, just window shopping and I immediately notice this camera, PINK! WHITE! BLACK! And from that moment onwards I keep on dreaming about this beautiful camera. Beg my Dad to bought it for me, saving some money, even considering to use credit card installment. But thanks to my sister (xoxoxo), who thinks that the camera so cute and that we absolutely need a pocket camera (though I think we’re just looking for a reason to buy it). She bought it for me! Yeay~

Other amazing features are For Youtube and Voice Recording. All and all, amazing little cute camera which fits perfectly for ladies.

Food Blogger

• Diet. I get fat really quick, like seriously quick, one time I gained like 10 Kgs in a month. So starting a food blog means I need to eat and review it right? I have strong tasting buds, every food that I said delicious, 80% people agreed (based on my experience). I can always do this food review, just only once in a while. I can’t sacrifice and screw my diet, I’m sorry guys.
• Money. As my money doesn’t grow on tree, I need to work hard to earn this and save my money for travelling always been on my top priority. I can’t review my mom Broccoli or Fried Tofu right? And I can’t always review KFC or any other standard-cheap street food right? In my mind, food blogger must always be fancy and eat in fancy restaurants, who wants to read something that you eat everyday?
• Food Picture. Now this is very popular nowadays. Most of the people I know snap their food before eating it, and post it online. But I don’t. I always to forget to captured the food, even the fancy and beautiful one. When the food served, my fork and spoon always ready to bring the goal to my mouth, no time out.
• Cook the food. I’m busy with work, perhaps I can pursue this option after this coming June. When I finally free and resigning, I’ll have more free time to try some recipes. But until that moment come, I’m afraid my hand are tied.

Boring Work Day,
Even the title is boring you out right? I know. I am. Right now.


Every once in a while, when your work is done, nothing need to be filed, no job due, files have been taken care of. And you sit on your desk with your computer screen looking at you, you start looking at the clock, and think "still got many hours to go". What to do? 

So, in the spirit to make this day better, I decided to compile a list on what to  do in a boring work day. 

1. Music - I can't live without this at office. Listen with headset (not to disturb others), tune up some upbeat music, this recipe help keep me awake at work.
2. Snack - I know this habit could be bad if what you're snacking are fried chicken and burger, try to snack some fruits like strawberry & apple. I like strawberry, they're small, taste sour and sweet, amazing little fruits with so many vitamins.
3. Internet - Now this is must be done carefully, you don't want your boss to think that what you do is surfing and browsing all day. You can browse the internet up to 5 mins or so, longer than that your boss and co-workers will think of you as lazy. And try to avoid an eye-distracting web, like youtube, etc. 
4. Smartphone or tablet or Ipad - I found gadgets are really helping me stay awake especially back when I don't have an internet connection on office computer. I can surf, watch movie, listen to music, read books, play games, chats, tweets, etc etc etc. If you don't have one, buy one, or at least borrow one. 
5. Books - If you are a reader like me you can read books, but if you don't like reading avoid this option, it will just make you drowsy. 
6. Study - Because I'm taking Korean Language lesson, so nowadays when I feel like nothing to do I open up my korean books and start studying. 

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream SPF 50++

Etude House first introduce this Sun BB Cream in the summer, immediately it captures so many woman hearts. Why? Because summer is the hardest season for any woman alive, oily skin, sweats, rash, unbearable humidity. That's the thing about summer, whatever makeup you wear, you'll always worry if your face will become so oily that you'll start to look like frying pan, or your sweats will smudge your makeup so badly you'll start to look like Joker. 

"Smeared Liner, Mascara, Lipstick, and Powder"  ew..

Now... That's just about the make up, what about the UV rays? Wrikles, dark spots, etc etc. That is why not only this Etude Sun BB Cream sticks to your face and not oily, it also comes with SPF 50++!!! I know, amazing right. This product works best in the summer and for us who live in hot and humid places, also for those who like me have a very bad oily complexion.

Let's peek at the inside.. most of the BB cream and foundation will not come with a sponge or brushes, you just have to use your own finger or brushes. But this one come with a whole package. Voila~ with a sponge, you just have to squeeze and the BB cream will appear in the middle of the sponge.

BB Cream will come out from the hole

With a sponge you'll be able to apply BB cream more evenly, just remember don't squeeze to much! You can check it out from the Etude Homepage, but it's in korean here~

Left : Before, Right : After

As the product stated "Lasting Performance" it stayed up to 12 hours or more (tested by myself and it's actually true!), the foundation actually very light and cover pretty nicely.

My hair after dyed into L’oreal Inoa # Brown chocolate coffee color :

Brown Hair Me

My hair after 4-5 months :

My ugly black root hair

As you can see the black roots already been growing down to my ear, I know my hair looks so ugly, half black and half brown…

Now I’m planning to try again and color my hair with Etude Hair Bubble #Deep black (got tired of brown, and not brave enough to change it to red)… Let’s see if it sticks……….

Etude Hair Bubble - Deep Black

# Step 1

Open the package, and you'll see a bottle, color liquid, treatment, and a pack of hand gloves and plastic bag to cover your clothes

# Step 2

Open the bottle cap and pour all the color liquid to the bottle


# Step 3

Use the hand gloves! This is necessary to prevent the dye stick to your nail! I had a very bad experience when dying my sister hair w/o the hand gloves, my nail turn to brownish color for a month

# Step 4

Tilt the bottle up and down for approx 3-5 times. DON'T SHAKE IT. If you shake it too much, the liquid won't come up as bubble. Use it immediately!

# Step 5

Okay, now time to apply the bubble . I can't take picture cos my camera will get stained, and I'm not prepared to damaged my pretty Samsung Tab yet.

Apply the bubble lock by lock to your hair, just like dying your hair in salon. This is to ensure the color will come out as evenly as possible. Apply it carefully and make sure the root dyed too. Although maybe some people won't need the whole bottle, cos their hair is shorter and thinner than others. I suggests you guys to use the whole bottle, even though the bubble is already filled your hair, just keep applying it again and again. 

Although the instructions stated to leave it for 30 mins, I suggests you guys to leave it on for 45 mins ~ 1 hour, because every person hair is different. Some people have more difficulties in the dye to stick to their hair.


# Step 6

                              THE RESULT :

Deep Black Hair

Voila~ the hair came out exactly as I expect it. Deep Black. This time I'm not disappointed at all with the hair bubble. Yayyyyy~


Note to dye with hair bubble : 

1. Don't shake the bottle, just tilt it up and down for 3-5 times. If you shake it too much, it won't bubble up.
2. After shaken don't leave it for too long (max 1 hour), use it immediately.
3. Apply it lock by lock, just like applying hair dyed in salon. This will ensure the bubble bubble even up on your hair.
4. Use the whole bottle. Apply to the hair on and on even though the bubble  already filled your hair (to prevent the color come out uneven).
5. Leave it on for 1 hour or so. After applying the bubble, don't follow the box instructions and leave it only for 30 mins. Every person hair is different, and for the first timer it's usually harder for the color to latched on so you'll need extra time.
6. Rinse with warm water. This is actually the tips that I got from Etude House store clerk, I don't know if it helps but worth a shot for trying.
7. DON'T WASH WITH SHAMPOO. Now this is really really important, esp for those first timer and can't read the korean instructions.
