The Ghost...?!
Hi everyone! Yes, it's me! I haven't posted since last year 0.o...oops?! Actually I've been busy with classes and since it's my second year, the workload has been tripled. I'm in the middle of finals right now but it won't be long before I start posting regularly again. This time I will actually be posting other stuff beside hauls XD. I really shouldn't have started blogging during the start of a school year...I wanted to post other stuff but all I had time for was haul posts as they are the fastest and easiest to put together. When summer starts, I will be doing reviews on some perfumes, circle lens, and of course makeup ,,<(^0^)>,, <-that's my version of a birdie hehehe.
I probably won't be buying any clothes since I'm trying to lose some weight. Honestly, university may be feeding my brain but it is doing nothing to keep me healthy XD. My mom's been harassing me to lose some weight and I've been noticing that my energy level has dropped considerably. In order to live healthier and more active without driving myself crazy, I'm limiting my intake of snacks and got myself a gym membership. Have you ever felt the urge to run faster because the person beside you is speeding up? hehehe I'm totally pressing the speed button every time the dude next to me presses it XD...but the sad part is that I always have to slow down sooner than the dude/dudette because I have no stamina T_T. ULTIMATE FAIL.
During my time of absence from blogspot, I've tried lots of different stuff. As you may know, my favorite foundation brand was Laneige. I do still like their foundation but they are a little on the drying side and the sunscreen in the formulation is making me look ashy. I am currently using MAC studio sculpt foundation in NC20 and have been using it for 2 weeks now. A review will be up in the future. I might also post my beauty products collection (makeup and skincare) but that really depends on the demand. I can't say that I have a lot of stuff but I do have "more than I should" as quoted by my mom. As I fall deeper into my makeup obsession I've been trying out more drugstore brand makeup, especially foundations. I prefer my MAC shadows and would LOVE to own some NARS shadows as well...they are soft but has a very limited colour range. When my tax return cheque comes in I might go pick up a few.
Recently I've been eyeing some fragrances at Sephora. To name a few, Princess by Vera Wang, Brit Sheer by Burberry, ETERNITY Summer By Calvin Klein, and one other from The Grace fragrance line are on the top of my to try list. I've been looking for one that is more on the subtle side. A fruity flora combination without vanilla since most of mine do have it and the scent is a bit to warm for summer. From the Harajuku Lovers line I've been wearing Baby the most often because it reminds me of baby powder and is least fragrant of the five. Music is by far the sweetest of the bunch which smells like a mixture of syrup and candy. My top two scents from this collection would be Baby and Love; they are the most wearable and the least sweet. If you are looking for a sweet vanilla scent then you should check out G. Since the weather is continually getting warmer, I find the HL fragrances too strong. Due to the ongoing Beauty Insider sale I went to Sephora to sniff some perfume and I found Ocean Lounge by Escada. It has a light fragrance but mostly has notes of pineapple, mango and papaya which is super refreshing. Also it was on the sale rack so it was half off in addition to the 15% BI discount. I ended up paying under 40 bucks for a 3.3 fl. oz or 100ml bottle ^^. I was going to get Brit Sheer because that one smelt really nice as well but I just couldn't skip this deal! I have until April 17th before the BI sale ends so I'll have to think it over. On the other hand, even if I decide to get it after the sale we can in a way dupe the sale XD.
With my rewards card I could actually save more money by getting it from Shoppers Drugmart. The lowest level of redeemable rewards is 7,000 points which is a $10 discount. That alone is already equivalent to the BI 15% off sale. If I were to redeem the next level up which is $25 discount (15,000 points)and that's double of the BI sale (33%).
Anyways I just realized how long this post has gotten so I'm going to stop here and maybe do another one when other things pop up XD. God I ramble on FOREVER. =P. Bye Bye

F&F Season
Hiya! Its been a super long time since my last post but here I am! I also brought along some good news ^^.
Yes, a NYX sale!! Everything is up to 80% off while supplies last. Website is here
Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic are also having their F&F sale. This is an in-store promotion only, and will be from November 12-15. You can use this coupon multiple times so make sure to take advantage of that ^^. With this coupon, you will be getting a discount of 30% off total purchase of which 5% will go towards their charity partners.
Last but not least, a CANADIAN sephora sale ^^ Too bad it's not an online F&F sale. I love their perfume samples, hahaha. Anyways, this is for VIB (Very Important Beauty Insiders) only. I'm not sure if that count's me but I guess I'll just have to try my luck ^^. Sale starts from November 12 and ends on the 15th. FYI, VIB are Beauty Insiders that have spent a minimum of $500 during a one-year duration. Once you are a Beauty Insider and you spend up to $500, you are automatically bumped into VIB status.
Well, that's it. I'll be posting up a haul either this week...probably during the weekends. I got lots of goodies this past month and I can't wait to share it with you guys ^^. Bye Bye!

The view
I was coming home from school yesterday and managed to catch sunset on the highway ^^. Picture quality isn't that great I only had my phone at the moment.
I wish the quality was better. The sky was so pretty ^^. A contrast of blues and oranges with a tint of purple.
I also took some more pictures today ^^.
This is a bit over-exposed but I love today's weather ^^.
Took this on my way home. I love walking down this part of the street ^^.
Just a picture post, hahaha.I should do more of thses!

The ultimate fail
Hi everyone! I have a midterm tomorrow, so I'm doing some last minute cramming X.X....anyways I was using my pc happily typing away some more study notes when it suddenly decided to died on me, again! Last month we sent it in because the motherboard died. This time...well I'm not sure but similar problems are popping up...could it be...another motherboard faliure?! This is not funny guys.
To the makers of HP electronics. Can you please stop messing up my life when it matters the most? In the past 2 months, I've had to replace 2 motherboards, 1 hardrive and one laptop. Don't you think 2 motherboard malfunctions is a LITTLE over the top? On the other hand, daddy dearest is thinking of buying a new pc tower. He's getting fed up with it too, hahaha. Any suggestions on a good brand?
Another tech-fail happened this week, hahaha. I'm so bad with electronics! I was playing Sims3 on my mac when one of my characters suddenly decided to freeze. So there, I continue with my other sim thinking it might be a minor glitch when I notice the stats of my sim going into critical condition (yes I like to take care of them properly ^^). I tried disabling any codes that might have caused this glitch but nothing worked, so in the end I had to end their lives by deleting the saved game. Now, I'm starting over and so far, they're both moving properly. Happy Happy!
I'll update again soon...maybe the week after. My childhood friend is stopping by Toronto on the 26th, so there might be more food updates ^^. I've been meaning to try out the new Go for Tea shop at Midland and McNicole, hehe. The old shop had huge servings and a very pretty interior design!

Light at the end of the tunnel...
I know it's been a while since I've updated so here I am! I have midterms coming super soon...like this week so it will be a while before I update again. Lately, I've been going out of shape so I'm hoping exam season can act as a motivator for the gym as a stress reliever, hahaha. Meanwhile, I'm using the hula, hand weights, and DDR to work out. Since my PS2 died on me today, I think its time to add jogging to my regiment ^^.
Before I reveal my treasures of the week, I'd like to give a happy belated birthday to Amar, JDU and Trishie! I love you guys, mwah mwah! And FYI I am so not late XD I just posted it late on Blogspot, bleh. Now what did I get? Maybe I should just post it after I finish my midterms? hahaha, I'm just joking ^^.Today I got my Sims3 and my prize from Lisa's Giveway from Hi Qi Crystal Designs
Raw face XD ^^
I'm using my oh-so bright flourescent desk lamp to see if it will improve the picture quality on my macbook webcam. What do you think? I kinda miss the webcam on my hp. At least I could take pictures in natural light and not worry about the quality. Anways, The Sims 3 game is very different in comparison to the 2 previous games. I'm still cruising around to look for the functions but picture quality is very nice ^^ I not have both versions of Sims 3 and that makes me one happy gamer, hahaha. The itouch version is obviously much more simple but stil loads of fun.
Thank you Lisa! They cam all safe and sound ^^ I love everything you sent me.
Look how sparkly the necklace is!
This brush roll is so convenient ^^ I managed to fit all my brushes in it. It's very well made and when it gets dirty I'll just throw it in the wash. Thank you Yumeko!
FYI I'm wearing Louvre me Louvre me not by OPI
That's all! Stay well everyone, as the weather changes people tend to get sick easily so make sure you dress well.

Tax Free Cosmetics
Hi! I was checking my email earlier and found out this juicy tibit ^^. Starting tomorrow until October 15, the Amore store at pmall (pacific mall) will be doing a tax-free promotion on all their products. I'm not sure if you can combine it with the vip discount(10%) but I'm totally taking advantage of it ^^. I've been wanting to try their other laniege foundations. oh FYI, the Amore store sells korean brand cosmetics such as Laniege, IOPE and Sulwhasoo.
Yes super short post but I just had to share it with the world...or at least the torontonians, hahaha.
Bye bye!
