Ngủ ngon em nhé!

Nhiều điều không như mình nghĩ...cũng buồn và đau lắm. Nhưng cũng không thể so sánh với những hoàn cảnh khó khăn hơn ngoài kia. Xót quá những đứa trẻ không nơi nương tựa, không quần áo mặc, bị bỏ đói ngày này qua ngày nọ. Hôm nay ra đường gặp 1 bé trai khoảng chừng 3-4 tuổi, người ngộm dơ hầy, mặt nhem nhuốt, cầm nữa ổ bánh mì không vừa đi vừa ăn; không biết em có người thân trông theo không, mình nhìn em mà lòng nặng ngàn tấn gần như ngạt thở. Em ơi thương em quá! Những đứa trẻ với những tâm hồn trong sáng và ngây thơ nhất, không biết đời thật sự ra sao, hãy cho em một tuổi thơ đẹp nhất, hãy cho em những vòng tay ấm áp tình người. Mong em có những giấc ngủ ngon!

17.5 weeks!
2 days ago probably was the best night I ever had because I did not feel sick at all. Most of the nights I feel weird, I cannot describe how discomfort it is but it was the best, I felt light and healthy and like flying lol!!!! Pregnant ladies out there would understand my non-sense wording.
I got questioned often whether I crave for food madly; fortunate for my husband, I don’t. I may tell him I’d like to have it something now, but if there is no way or not able to get it, then it’s fine for me; I could think of something else. Not like others that I heard she would do anything in the world to have a particular food that she craves for; and that could happen at 2am in the morning lol. I love resting so that wouldn’t happen. But funny how I mostly think of places I would love to rest at, like some resorts, by the swimming pool, less crowded places, etc.
And now is the moment I feel HOT all the time. Its annoys me, you can’t picture how the heat today in Ho Chi Minh city! I can’t stand the AC these days because I’m having bad cough ever! Poor my husband, he has to turn off the AC several times at night.
Here what upsets me, I thought at the 17 weeks I would get back to how I was but I just puked horribly before dinner. Second, seafood is my all time favorite but my child doesn’t “like” it (T_T); I get red spots all over my stomach. So I have to ask the doctor next time I see her.
I do try hard to eat more since I want my baby to be healthy though many say pregnant ladies can eat a horse but not me for some reasons... Suddenly I want chocolate bagel with cream cheese from Panera bread!!!!! Too bad Vietnam doesn’t have it! Great! I could be so random on food!!!!

toasted please! I hate seating here and looking at these bagel pictures! 

~Happy Pregnant moment~

16 weeks!!! 

I got loads better from nausea, finally could enjoy food! My weight however has been the same, 51kg all these 4 months so my family gets worried. I don’t really crave for anything’ but when say I front a food court then I know what I want. Most of the time, I think of some sour fruits which ‘indicates it’s girl,’ while those sweets that I craved for before being pregnant bore me out. Yes, I’m having a girl! Yahoo! My experienced friend said some people start to eat non-stop at the 5th month on and the weight starts to rise average 1kg/week. I’m not sure about that but will see. 

Just browsing around my old pics, buffalo wild wings got me go wow. I need them in my life, right now! ;) My hubs took me here last year when I was in New Hampshire and it was Yumm! 

Food happens to me very sudden most of the time. I can’t plan out menu for the next day. It’s weird. Many pregnant woman knows exactly what I want and they could eat 4 dishes at once, not me unless 10 kinds of dishes seat in front of me then I could choose but only 2 dish max. 

at 16th weeks, I’m mostly out of being nausea, but once in a while I still have it and that whole day I get really tired, feel like passing out in seconds, and my head can’t function at all. Plus, I’m out of focus sometimes, my head runs with million things at the same time like colors, food, people; all of sudden they circle in my head so nonsense lol. 

~Later~

I am 3 months pregnant!

Which explains why I haven’t blogged since the previous one. I miss writing, sharing my thoughts to the ‘world’.
This is my first time being pregnant, I am nervous but exciting same time, so is my husband. I’m still in my first trimester and it has been hard though it’s getting a lot better from nausea, sleepy, dizzy, so on. First 2 months, I kept vomiting all day but thanks to my husband who has been there for me all time. He cares which means a lot to me. Though he could not bear the nausea for me but I knew he would if he could. Right now, I only feel sick around dinner time till I sleep. Therefore, I try to eat in the morning and in the afternoon. I mostly eat banana at night time.
When I got to 6.5 weeks, I heard my baby’s heart beat, I couldn’t describe how I felt but it was super emotional/tense; I barely replied to the doctor’s questions properly.
Many pregnant women got high-temper (according to what I researched), or sensitive towards anything; fortunately I don’t get angry but just silently upset. I have to admit that my nose gets so sensitive like the smell of my drunk husband, woods, fruits, trash, etc. LOL It’s hard for me to hug him when he’s drunk because I may puke and that’s not nice. I also can’t stand garlic, fish sauce,etc….I also could cry from movies in 1 second, very emotional!
During this first trimester, I haven’t gained much weights, yet; but I could see the little bump. Those jeans, skinny pants, etc are no longer wearable! I heard from the 4th month on I may see massive change. I don’t mind gaining weights, I could work it out later. All I mind is to have a healthy baby.
~Time to go, later!

Eyeliners!

I’m back finally!

Recently I bought two liquid eyeliners in Singapore.

I’ve been using dolly wink eyeliner for years, absolutely love it! This time I try silky girl and it’s just like dolly wink in quality. Pretty exciting! This package costs about $14 Sing while dolly wink is about $24 Sing. 

silky girl is darker, that is the only different. Other than that, they are both thin lines and easy to apply. 

Later!

Words...

It's been forever since my last post, my 'confession.' Finding tough problems in life, what keeps coming is the question. Every-time I face problems, I recall my Dad's advice "learn to accept to make things easier." I know I can't change, could only make it better.  
I've been feeling down lately, sad, lack of sleep, etc. and my skin gets even worse so I drink many vitamins and all that jazz for the sag of my health.
I control my anger super well even my Mom has to applause me on that. However, of-course it comes with a scenario behind that - STRESS!
yesterday, "my people" came to me and said "omg you look terrible, what's wrong?" ... Thanks for the compliment! I don't look terrible, I just fell un-comfortable. Seriously, my face-emotion-figures seem so obvious? But one of "my people" sent me a picture though she knows nothing what troubles me and said "come 'zen' with me, for 2 hours since you can't do 10 days-away."

I had a good laugh looking at this picture. Heard about zen class for a while now and I can't wait to 'zen' out. I need help.

You can't tell anyone about your bearings and troubles sometimes right? They may not understand and that would bother you more. like myself, I can't really talk to "my people" everything even my dearly Mom. I trust my Mom most but 'transmitting' my sadness to her is not a good solution, she would feel sad and worried. So most of time I bear all sadness in me for few days, then I get myself back to the busy life slowly, but turn around those sadness return; simply I haven't forgotten. Sadness is harmful. Just keep that in mind people and try to find solutions for yourself. And I'm going to 'zen'. 

Be healthy. Be happy. Live your life. 

Feb Hits

1. appeal solutions by nature’s bounty. this one right here is my most favorite supplement. It helps my nails and skin effectively (unfortunately not my hair…). I have about 20 softgels left. Strongly recommended and make sure you’re 18 and above. 

2. Muji concealer, BEST one out of plenties that I’ve tried. 

3. Gurlain face powder

4. Lorac evening out kit, face powder and concealer. A+ for the face powder, I find the concealer is just alright, just as satisfied as the Muji. The packaging is glam. 

5.Atorrege for acne, I got it in Singapore at a random shop surprising it works.

-Later- 

I’ve just married, for little over 2 months now and definitely is a big change for me. I take this challenge in the good way preparing myself into a woman I’ve always wanted to be. Previously I said I wanted hugs and kisses from him for the V-day. Well, I got more than that and I think I deserve his love haha. He took me out for dinner and gifted me chocolate. How sweet! We talked about random things, and I got so many recalls of precious moments when we first met and hung out. In relationship, serious ones, once we set goal for permanent, work for it, embrace and respect top keys. I hate bearing regrets so better do at best, and I believe we can do all things just up to our choice as rather do it right or other.

Guess what mood I'm in. Shopping like I really mean it lol, it becomes dalily routine now checking out site after site online; and finally come up with a list of beauties:
1. Mini luggage celine: I don't now. It has been what I always wanted just price tag that gets me confused haha. Truly, I could cram many crap into it but picture it on my petite figure, and my daily outfits, I have to rethink.

2. Burberry Bridle house little crush 

I have a crush on you, true! 

3. Vince Camuto Tote Billy 

Have a nice day now! lata!  

DaNang Diary

This is Intercontinental resort at crazy price, but the price speaks for its high rate of facilities, views, etc. Highly recommended. 

Danang, Vietnam. I’m impressed by its beauty truly who doesn't enjoy sightseeing the beach, those waves and sand... I love dipping my toes into the sand. I stay at Ocean Villas just as its name, each villa has full service from kitchen to laundry facilities, and private pool. Really a fantastic trip.

So Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Previous V-Days I was alone, not this year; after getting married, V-Day seem so different I don’t have nervously-longing feeling just because I’m loved everyday, not just this one day in 365 days. One special day isn’t worth a whole life being loved so I don’t expect anything other than a kiss and a smile =). Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

high school gal

9 years ago, I was little chubby and I studied at girl school in Canada. I just accidentally found some old pics…

@Trafalgar Castle School- grade 11

with Yeesha in my dorm. I miss those times so much when I had so many activities, many good food, many good fun friends… Good times! 

I took one art class and it was mad fun. Back then in many art projects, I always chose butterfly as my theme. Such as:

This is my supper women with super sunglasses which could guide her to her targets and so on. I remember I presented her as multi power woman who can fire, who could run 200miles/hour,etc. haha. 

culture painting with butterfly background. I guess I saw butterfly a lot during my childhood… I was obviously obsessed! 

Finally (not really) is the butterfly box, not sure what was this for, but something to do with culture… 

I actually have to prepare for an event (tiny fashion shop) this weekend during my up coming wedding, not a very good idea but then at the same time, I eager to show off my designs and other imported accessories from Thai and Korea, just a way to earn happiness, for me it’s one of the goals I want to try out for so long before I pass by the chance. It is a new flea market runs by the Viet lady who offers space for rent with quite a reasonable price ($30-$40/day); however, this weekend is free rent for first registers and I got it, even for my friend. I signed up only for 2 days. So just hope everything will turn out great, and my families won’t get mad at me! Good night all!

Cosmetics update

I’m back after ages! Been bouncing myself in and out after the engagement hosted in August. Quite a journey with my family in law. Can’t imagine I have about 3 more weeks till the wedding, time flies, and things still seem un-done…
Anyways, just got back from a not so short trip from Singapore and I got so many things, all good stuff. Btw, I find traveling with beloved one is best, though me and my man got “confused” few times but we had great times after all. Keep up a good relationship needs strategies! lol; if one can’t, other one must find way.

1. VS perfume, it’s so nice!

2. Cosmetics, great choices!

top right photo is taken with flash and it turns out nice, really photoready foundation; it has good coverage also doesn’t feel creasing after all; so it’s a plus. I find NYX has good eye shadows. Red lips, I never thought I look great with red lips till I ‘met' NYX perfect red rouge parfait, not so bad eh? (the bottom right photo are the true color of the lipstick). Finally is the benefit mascara, they are real, I was impressed by the poster and it turns out great. 

3. Photo of the day

Cheers! 

Bad entertainments

I barely played games even when I was small. I played most during childhood was making clothes for barbie. Many kids at my age/generation played Mario games, I did like it and played once in awhile with my brother who played it better. Pretty much not into any kinds of games. I dedicate most of my time for reading blogs/E magazines, etc. Till recently, I play candy crush nearly reach addiction 'disease.' I got scared once when my mind mapped out the candies during my sleep. Other time, my mom was talking to me but I couldn't reply properly because I didn't want to loose the game. Therefore, I have to deterrent myself from it. I hate the feeling of being pulled in something that is pretty unhealthy among them are sweets too lol. They are entertainment but unhealthy. why? because it took most of our times rather than do something more important like sports, talking to beloved people, cleaning the rooms, books, etc. After I passed on another level, I got so pleased but then I earn nothing from it besides another addiction. I have to admit that the game is fun and if I couldn't help myself from it then I should acknowledge the weak-point. 

Besides, I find many people look at their 'smart' phone every 5 seconds like their world is in there. I check my phone quite often but not as much rapidly. Sometime I wish I could throw away my fone for one day (but that has to guarantee no trouble visits). When people talk to me and I stare at my phone, I find it disrespectful after all. But I stare my phone when un-beloved people talk to me to find way out lol. Just some thought of a day.

Black dress

Thursday OOTD

xdlov dress (bottom mid cut), chocolate schubar shoes, statement necklace from hautelook

It's been so long since my latest post. Previous 2 months are quite a journey in my life. Many news yet challenging that I realize every gal would have to face once in her life time. Marriage. To many people, the proposed gal is lucky and finally caught a man who would guide and care bout her. To some, marriage is not about happy ending, it's more about life routine/cycle and human have to carry on the generation. And to some, marriage is an escape, so much more reasons that I haven't known yet. What is your story? 

I'm finally a married woman at the age of 26. The challenges that I mentioned are quite a big deal for me and I'm not sure about other ladies. I mean, every one has to grow up right? I guess here is chance for any woman to learn how to build a family. Now it sounds quite extreme that once in a while it stresses me out. Sometimes, I watch my man intently, who I will spend the rest of life with, and wonder what life had planned for me. Marriage requires commitment that we all heard and I finally feel it. The diary temporary stops for today and I hope all the brides to be and already are have a wonderful marriage!

Recently I saw this video and want to share it on here. Top plastic surgery. Nothing to do with the above content, but something about life-changing of a gal who just becomes a swan. I'm sure now she looks at the world differently! I told my sister, guess what people can buy happiness now ;)

 

This is life changing for her! I admire this incredible Doctor/Korean medical beauty services!

Face Yoga Exercise

No more Botox nor another other expensive treatments, hopefully! ^^ Stay pretty!

Back with few tips/issues ^^

I enjoy being in my room to glance at piles of old magazine pages; sometimes I found random personal notes here and there stuck in the pages such as
"FIN meeting at 2pm in the library." ~ dawn, I learned finance and I'm done with it. I suffered with acc and fin courses during school but I ended up with a well-done gpa. Not sure how I did it. Most interesting when I found my random furthermost fashion sketches during college and realized my tranquility of mind haha. THEN I got inspired, I sketch and sketch during weekends, nights after dinner and ran out to places to buy fabrics, not exactly living my best but at least I love what I do. I don't consider it at best just because best's definition doesn't exist but happiness does. That's my quality time. 

something delicate and flowy, and this is it, my maxi dressi for summer. 

Speaking of my fashion design sketch, sometimes the out-comes are not like what I imagine, turn out I get suspicious of what I do; but after all, I got experience and experience. 

SCARS

As zillion times I mention about acne, I still have a few pop up once in while, but what stays is the scars. Many sources said scars can be treated with ease for those are within 2 year existence. I'm trying out Dermatix (scar reduction gel), wish me luck!

WHITEN TEETH 

Water + lemon drops = great whiten teeth H2O! 

(This is my all time choice, it helps to digest maybe just me though, if I eat too much then water lemon definitely my go-to). 

PIC OF THE WEEK

I enjoy being with him so much! Love you kiddo! He loves watching kites on youtube, whenever he comes, he would steal my bro's ipad and refuse to return.lol. 

Toddles! 

26 me…!

Hello world I’m 26, wow, 26 years that is a very long journey.

My birthday was celebrated with family and friends, all that matters. oh, and beautiful gifts, thank you all! right at the moment I turn 26, I got many beautiful text messages, facebook messages (I blocked my wall, oops ^^) and calls, they made me feel warm all inside. 

There were pizza, wings, daily dinner that my mom cooked; actually she didn’t remember my birthday and that’s no surprising. She even doesn’t remember her birthday, I love you Mom no matter what! 

My love! He loves food!

Tonight, I went out to have dinner (baked chicken) with my friends (old classmates), so I celebrated my birthday twice :). It was fun talking about how chubby I was years ago, and looked back out our old-days pictures.

The most beautiful thing within the simplest thing.

HongKong 2013 purchases

Little introduction, previously said I had very limited time to shop around town; thank god sasa was right across my hotel! I already had a list of what i wanted to buy so it didn’t take me long, got some face wash for my mom and few stuff for myself. 

foodporn sweet plum - must have; I feel lil guilty buying them bc they are expensive, but they are safe so wth!!! (at the airport)

that’s right smooth and moisture through out the day! too bad, they don’t come in smaller size… I’m mostly into Japanese products after loads of trials. hope this time it won’t disappoint me.  

Fairy drops Mascara - long and curl (~$14), thumb up for water proof bc my eyes get teary sometimes so let’s stay away from smudges. 

Finally found orange tone lipstick that I really like by Just Beyond- Save us! (~$13) and look how cute the bear is! =) very nice packaging as well! here is its look and swatch.

saving the best for last, samsung nx300, I’m loving it! I got white one.

story behind: I asked my dad if i could borrow him $ for it. he asked ‘sure, what special about it?’ Me- ‘it has wi-fi, HD, many cool other functions, but most of all, i like its classic look.’ I bought it at the airport for ~$850, it comes along with the lens and strap. the salesman also gifted me the tripod, 16GB memo card, camera case, cleansing kit, and a travel adapter. 

HongKong 2013

I just had a very short 2 days trip to HongKong with my Dad and it was pretty fun though it was raining through out! I stayed at Luxor Manor hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui (I booked on agoda with a very good price $110 for a 5 stars hotel, breakfast included and it was nice!)

=) an awesome chair at the lobby! who read Lao Fu Zi comic series? 

the bathroom, it’s not as big for 5 stars rated; however, its architecture/interior design is very interesting which I love! 

 look at the curtain :)

and that is a cute calendar!

Overall this is a good choice since it locates right near the heart of shopping centre. The hotel is on Kimberly st. which takes about 20 minutes walk to Nathan road. I got little time to walk around the area in the morning before my flight.  

Right after work, we headed for dinner at Lung Mun restaurant and it was so delicious! 

big head fish - my Dad’s favorite and it’s extremely spicy.

a famous beer tsing tao of China

Next to my hotel, I saw a very interesting place that looks like a corner in europe somewhere. :)

To be continued (few purchases in HongKong)
