Parents & Facebook Timeline

Published by Justine

Some few weeks ago while in the car with my parents both of them wouldn’t shut up about this guy that may or may not be part of my life right now. My mom friended him on Facebook (GAH) and just kept grilling me with questions about him and if all my recent statuses had something to do with him. So I shouted, “I’M GONNA UNFRIEND BOTH OF YOU TOMORROW!” My dad laughed, my mom shouted back, “DON’T YOU DARE!” Being an only child for 12 years and have an extremely close relationship with your parents, conversations like these with them aren’t unfamiliar at all. I remember when I first started out with Facebook and had a lot of crazy photos (aka when parents had no knowledge about social networking) account privacy didn’t have much of a strong impact then so I made sure my parents didn’t know I had one but it’s so different now. Family members started getting their accounts from your aunt to your uncle even your great-aunt. It’s like my Facebook …

Things I Love Thursday, #4

Published by Justine

Douglas Booth at #LFW. How gorgeous is this guy? Not to mention he’s so well dressed, you can’t go wrong with that. If he doesn’t have a stylist who works for him, kudos! I’ve always been a fan of the Burberry poster boys (George Craig, Alex Watson, Sam Riley, Tom Guinness and Alex Pettyfer to name a few) and their campaigns are always spot on in terms of model casting. My top favorites have to be George Craig and Douglas Booth because they look a little rough on the ages but really fit the bill of the smooth look Burberry offers. Suits Suits is the 2nd best TV show I’ve seen this year after Shameless US (What is up with my favorites this year being only 12 episodes and not coming back until a whole full year?). It is SO good and I finished it in less than a week despite work. Until now I’m still in a Suits withdrawal and I’m still thinking about Harvey and Mike’s shenanigans in the world of law. This …

Simple Entry

Published by Justine

My mom is really into reading blogs now. She e-mailed me today telling me to check out a blog. It’s funny, because she doesn’t know about mine. The author writes simple entries but posts nice interesting photos about the simplest things, like peeling off stickers inside a taxi cab (weird, right?). I really enjoyed it. Then I thought, how come I can’t write simply anymore? I just want to use small simple words, like how I’m writing now. Sometimes when I blog or when I want to blog, I think of so many things to say, that I end up not blogging at all. It’s very annoying. I want to blog more and post more pictures. I just need to get over over-thinking things to write about. I haven’t even finished sorting out photos from our recent beach trip. The Canon S100 was just released, have you seen it? When I was at the Changi Airport in Singapore I went to an electronic store and I asked the sales associate if I could take a …

Things I Love Thursday, #3: Recent Buys

Published by Justine

Finally back to blogging after the holidays, which were great. First 5 days spent lazing about, watching City Hunter and adopting DOLCE FAR NIENTE into my life, something which I never have the luxury of doing anymore ever since I got out of uni and the next 5 days were spent with family in a vacation to Singapore and Bintan Island. Shopping, the beach.. too good. Before I talk about the vacation and upload some photos, when I was in Singapore I did a bit of shopping. Some new clothes, new shoes, make-up, skin care, foodtrips, accessories.. not too many but enough to make me satisfied and quite broke. Sigh, but no sigh! Out of everything I bought these are probably the top 3 buys which I was most happy about, and also another edition of TILT. 1. Kameria Baby Face BB Cream, about $25 I’ve heard a lot about BB Creams before, the wonders they’ve done to women and how some people swear by these products. In the beginning I wasn’t really swayed but …

On K-dramas and City Hunter

Published by Justine

I don’t watch a lot of K-dramas, but when I do watch one I make sure it’s good and I make sure it’s Lee Min Ho. The number of K-dramas I’ve seen, I can count with my fingers. Endless Love: Autumn in my Heart (the start of it all), Full House, You’re Beautiful, Personal Taste (which I loved), Oh! My Lady, My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox, Secret Garden (one of the best) and this one which I recently finished, City Hunter. It is good, it is damn good. I was a bit hesitant because of the action and suspense genre which I tend to stay away from because first of all, I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to the Korean government and secondly, well I really do prefer the romantic drama theme. The reason why I started City Hunter was not only because people were recommending it to me, but also because it stars Lee Min Ho and I was curious about how he’ll go about pulling off an action role. I …
