Coverage

When else for meetups but Monday afternoon? I was waiting for partner who was late, so i decided to check out the much raved Makeup Forever HD foundation. I've done my research on it: It is water-based and doesn't work well if your skincare products are oil-based. However, i had to give it a try and as expected, it didn't sit well on my face that was layered with oil-based products.

A Sephora staff introduced me Bare Minerals Matte foundation after asking if i have sensitive skin. She said it is made of natural products so compared to foundations with chemical, it is better for eczema-prone skin like mine.

The coverage is low-medium and the Sephora staff said it is not long-lasting so i will have to use a face primer. I couldn't imagine layering an additional product on my face so i decided to just purchase the Bare Minerals Matte and if it starts melting and needs to be dabbed off (not hanks to Singapore's humidity) i simply touch up.

We'll see if my face breaks out after using this.

Before this, i alternating between Chanel's Vitalumiere Eclat pressed powder and Diorskin Poudre Compacte pressed powder. 

Both are good for mattifying oily skin like mine, Dior even more so! Chanel pressed powder photographs much better, more natural compared to Dior. However, they both cause me zit outbreaks so im praying that the new buy dose me good!

Bro & i have new hairstyles! He permed his hair at Toni & Guy! 
Oh, & we got loads of new clothes from Asos too! We so good & so bad for each other. We constantly remind each other no to spend unnecessarily but whenever a sale comes up we - almost in a bloodthirsty way - devil each other into buy something.

Maybe In Another Universe, I Deserve You

What if, in another universe, I deserve you?

Hear me out. There’s this philosopher from the 1890s named William James, and he coined this theory about “the multiverse” which suggests that a hypothetical set of multiple universes comprises everything that can possibly exist simultaneously.

Are you following? The entirety of space, time, matter and energy is all happening at once in different timelines: It’s the idea of parallel universes. Right? So okay, let’s presume the multiverse is real.

Well then, maybe somewhere in those infinite universes is one, or several, where I deserve you.

Maybe there’s a universe out there — happening now — where we end up together and when I close my eyes at night, I’m not dreaming the way a normal person would. Instead I’m seeing flashes of our lives in the multiverse. They’re not simple dreams because I miss you, right? They’re scientific, anachronistic visions.

For instance:

In this universe, I don’t want a family, but maybe in another, I’m more of the type to settle down. Maybe there’s a universe where you hold my hand while I give birth to our daughter in a white hospital room with pink flowers and fuzzy teddy bears on the window sill. Where we take family vacations and pose for dorky pictures in our neon bathing suits on the sands of a Florida beach. Where we curl up to watch a cheesy movie at the end of a long day in our big, green, suburban house once the kids have fallen asleep.

Maybe there’s a universe where we are middle-aged and taking our child to college and bickering over where to put her dresser or what posters she should hang up. Where you kiss her on the forehead ‘goodbye’ and we drive home in contented, proud silence, your fingers grazing my knuckles, our wedding rings glistening. Where we both have gray hair and we laugh and smile and hug and drink lemonade on the porch.

Maybe there’s a universe where that’s the life I want. Where I don’t second guess everything and I’m not afraid of commitment and of the future and of love. Maybe there’s a universe without all the noise in my head and the pride that makes me so fiercely independent and the coldness in my heart that I can turn on and off like a security fence.

Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you. Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage and curiosity and issues. A universe where we’re happy — without wondering if that happiness is some messed-up Jenga game ready to topple at the slightest quiver. A universe where we’re comfortable and sure, and we have cats.

Maybe there’s a universe where we fall asleep next to each other every night like spoons, like two innocent bunnies — my face buried in your neck, hugging your warmth — and we both don’t want anything or anybody else. Where we don’t want more, we just want each other.

Maybe there’s a universe where I don’t covet so much all the time and where I’m content and where I don’t wonder about picking up and moving to Japan without saying anything to anyone and where at this very juncture, I can just know I’ll always want to come home and cook dinner with you.

If you think of it all this way, then it’s like neither of us did anything wrong.
You just found me in the wrong universe. That’s all. This is, as they say, the darkest timeline. Everywhere else, nay, “everywhen” else — us in the Civil War, us in Ancient Egypt, us in the swinging ’60s — we are happy.

If this theory holds, well, by the law of averages, there had to be one universe — just this one — where we don’t end up together. Here and now just happens to be it. If you think of it this way, nothing is our fault.

So see, that explains everything. We’re not together anymore because of the multiverse.

Well, isn’t that comforting?

If you’re sad, do like I do and just think of the other ‘verses. The ones where I believe in love and where I don’t hate myself and where I never feel the need to kamikaze relationships. A universe where we can have nice things. It’s helpful, right?

Because you could have loved me forever. And maybe in another universe, I let you.

The hope

Because believing that I can fully love another human being helps me remember that I can give my broken, egoistic, flawed self to something greater than me. I don’t need to believe in God to trust in a higher power, a force that compels us to strive, to ache, to want more than we have and accept nothing less than what fulfills us.

Because I believe that romance and the act of loving does not have to be perfect and should not be perfect and look forward to the struggle of loving someone, the ways in which the difficult act of love forces me to be more selfless, more giving, more honest and more tough. I believe that love makes you a better person, that it need not make you co-dependent, symbiotic or weak but that it can make you stronger, because being a lover sometimes means being a fighter, too.

Hello mini pony tail

Howdy! My hair is long enough to manage a mini pony tail now! Considering the heat & humidity going overboard now, i've been maintaining the pony tail for close to 2 weeks! 

The growing out of short hair transition is really quite a challenge! But i've promised BFF that i'm gonna keep the length, so plain jane i will be till i achieve the desired length.

2 days ago i decided to touch up my roots & proceed to the next step of hair growth! Love my Motel dress by the way. The colours are amazing!

Visited Alex who runs his own salon now - as usual - and who i have had my hair done by for the past 2 years. I've got the guts, he's got skills & ideas, perfect marriage. Below are the shampoo boys Marcus (new apprentice) & Kenneth (more experienced apprentice). Naughty boys they are. Oh, Kenneth's (guy in blue) hair is so cool at the moment, i want it! :( 

Also, i figured the best thing about working in a salon is having free access & usage to the best tools & hair products!

Oh, I've been thinking about having long hair with blunt cut so Alex immediately straightened (pun intended) everything out. Bobs have never really been my cup of tea but... Gotta work with rock what i have!

Weakness

Look at the prints & colours! Ok, i'm less than 5 clicks away from buying these but they'd burn a hole in my wallet. :(
