Autumn Amour


The comforting breeze, the colourful and dazzling scenery aren't the only things that make autumn so special to me. Can we just take a moment and enjoy how perfect it is to drink a warm cocoa in this weather while reading a novel or watching your favourite TV show?
Heaven ...
(I might be exaggerating a little, but well, who cares? lol)

These are a couple of reasons why I think fall is the best season of the year :)

I always love wearing comfy, baggy, warm sweaters, scarves, and beanies. Honestly, I can't get enough of them. These fashion items won't only warm up our bodies, they will also make us look more sophisticated and trendy. 

Hot chocolate? Cappuccino? with whipped cream and marshmallows? Aren't they just the best combinations you'll ever encounter?

I'm crazy with maroon and burgundy when it comes to autumn. I just love how those colors look on my pale skin, they make my nails stand out more with a touch of elegance :)

Yap, can't forget about fall scents candles from Bath and Body Works. Who doesn't love burning well-scented candle sin their bedrooms? I can't wait to buy some of these to put in my dorm.

Did I just leave 'cuddling' behind? I wouldn't lie, cuddling is the perfect thing to do in this kind of weather. Who cares if you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, right? I cuddle with my pillow pets all the time, and I still love it ;P

What are your favorite things about autumn?

The Blogger Tag


cute coffee

I came across Chloe's Way blog a few days ago, and I saw this interesting tag that she just posted. Well, as you can see, I was so tempted to do one myself. So here we go...

1. What is your favourite beauty product?
It would be Maybelline Volum'Express The Rocket Mascara.  It's just amazing how one product can make your whole face looks different. The quality of this product is the bomb dot com. It lasts for the whole day without creasing, and it curls and lengthens my lashes at the same time.

2. What is your all time favourite brand?
I have different brands for different products. It's very hard to decide which one is the best. I guess I'll just go with Maybelline since it's a very affordable make up brand. Also, the quality of this brand isn't as bad as most of you might think. 

3. Do you collect anything?
Novels?

4. Early bird or night owl?
Night Owl. I am not a morning person, waking up early in the morning irks me lol. 

5. Tea or coffee?
Coffee.

6. What is your favourite TV show?
I have so many of them, I don't know how to pick one :( Fine, maybe Scandal. Or Devious Maid, or Teen Wolf and Pretty Little Liars?? See? I watch so many Tv Show, it's so difficult to decide which one I like most because I love all of them.

7. If you could travel to any era when would it be?
The Great Gatsby. I love the make up, fashion, and the lifestyle of the women. They are so sophisticated and elegant in a very unique way.


If you guys decide to do this tag, please leave your link in the comment section below. I'd love to read them :)

Food These Days...


I have a confession to make....

I love food.

It's just so good to try new, different restaurants you know? Culinary is one of the best thing to do in life. Just sayin'
Personally, I like any kind of food from Asian to Western and even Indian food. I just want to share some food I have been enjoying lately. I know most of them are Westerns', but trust me, they are not the only kind I eat. I stopped caring about being perfectly skinny and dieting because I realized that I want to enjoy my life and try everything with no regrets. Of course, we have to still watch what we eat and start to pay attention to our heath, but once in a while, a little treat wouldn't hurt, right?

Relationship 101


I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Honestly, I have been busy catching up with my friends and my classes have just started so I kinda abandoned my blog for a little while.

Before I write anything about being in a relationship, I just want to tell you guys that I am not an expert in this field, I am also not a couple therapist. My content is based on personal experiences and my personal opinions.

Just the thought of being with somebody who adores, loves, and exhilarates you is very soothing, right? Imagine how that person would die to protect you, how you would be missed and thought of by someone every second of every day, and how he'd do anything to be with you. A long time ago, I never thought that a person would care about me and love me for who I am. I mean, Me? Is that a joke? I don't even want to date myself! But as we all know, everyone has different taste and point of views. There is always someone who hates you and someone who loves you. We should focus on the ones who love, care, and respect us no matter how hard the situation gets. I have been in a relationship three times. I have been in love twice and got my heart broken once. Every and each of this relationship has taught me how to handle countless situations.
  • When it comes to arguing, I hate to lose. I do not care if I am right or wrong, I always want to win. You see how I am such a bad bad bad girlfriend? I love to spin around the situation and twist every word so that I can hear a word "sorry" come out of my boyfriend's mouth even though he is not wrong. That is so bad! As a human being, we make mistakes, we slip, we forget things, and that is completely normal. What is so hard about saying a single sorry and move on with our lives? I know it's easier to say and harder to do, but would you rather lose someone who loves you than admitting your own wrongdoing? I, myself is still working on this because I know I can't and won't let myself ruin a relationship that I have been dreaming of.
  • Have a honest relationship. Do not lie to each other because relationship is a way to get to know your significant other even deeper. If the beginning already starts with a lie, you have to cover your lie with another lie. It's tiring.
  • Throw the third party out as far as possible! There is always a third person, the friend, the family, the negative influence, the mistress, etc.
    • Cheating is very much UNacceptable in my dictionary. I don't care what the excuse is, but cheating is out of the question. 
    • Negative comments from your friends?  Dude, there are only TWO people in a relationship and you should know better about your significant other than any of your friends. Tell them to Get Off because it's none of their business. 
    • Fix everything together as a team, figure it all out, find a way to get out of your problems together! The outsiders are just the audience. The ones who really care will let you TWO handle it as mature as possible.
  • You have a life outside of this cute, lovely, little bubble that is called a relationship. You have work to do, deadlines to catch, a family to take care of, appointment to go to. Be understanding to one another and remember the reality.
  • Compromise is a very crucial thing to do to be in a relationship. Before you go deeper, you have to compromise with your significant other on the things that you both might think is very important before you begin your journey together as a couple. For example, is this relationship is going to disturb your study, work, or personal life? How do you guys compromise to fix these problems?
  •  Respect one another. This is another one that I personally need to work on too. Respects include consideration, appreciation, and good manners. Show them that you care about them and consider them as someone who is very influential in your life. Say sorry, thank you, and please. No matter how close you guys are, the little things are the ones that matter most! Accept others opinions with an open heart.
  •  Do not take things for granted! The efforts that he puts in the relationship has to be balanced with the efforts that you put in. Treat your significant other like you want to be treated. 
  • Expectations lead to disappointment (Lesson Learned). Just live for the moment and let everything flow as it is.
  •  Please please please, when you face an argument, solve it with a cold mind. Screaming, cursing, shouting won't do you any good. These things will only create more problems and show that you disrespect them. P.S. It hurts to be screamed and cursed at, you know? I experienced it and trust me, words cut your heart deeper that a slap in your face. 
  •  A little spark won't hurt you know? A little "I LOVE YOU" post-it-note letter as a reminder that you think of them! 

 A couple of weeks ago, Karishma from Gingersnaps asked me if I want to do a guest post on her blog, and I said yes when she offered. I decided to write about "My Blogging Story" on her blog. If you guys want to check it out, please give us some feedbacks :)
I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for reading.
