WARNING! THIS POST IS FULL OF GIFs ;)

What their club room looks like during springtime

It's actually a storage room but they cleaned it up and rearranged things inside

Meet Chihaya (beauty in vain)

Kanade Oe fascinated *_* I think she had some mascara on or something since she got 3 eyelashes on this one she usually have just one or 2 haha

Meet Taichi, going back home together they met for the very first time at school all grown up

Even if they haven't seen each other for ages it's as if nothing much changed

Meet Arata

here's Arata with a failed high five with Taichi haha

Young Chihaya and Taichi playing around he said she's such a tomboy compare to her sister

Well said young Arata

Their 1st team tournament match with matching shirts so cute!

For some reason Shinobu reminds me of Rukia from Bleach maybe it's her hair or like character demeanor

powerful vibe

I have no idea what is Karuta and how it's played it looks very interesting and fast paced though competition style

My thoughts:

This series is so cute and I can't get enough of it! I watched it so many times now it always gives me that butterfly,fluffy feeling inside my stomach the love triangle and love interest is definitely something to think about at first I'm like team Chihaya x Arata then again as this story progresses especially in the manga now I'm like in a dilemma I also like Taichi he's smart,rich,nice, jack of all trades master of none as they say haha!

I think what attracted Chihaya to Arata is that he's so hard working and he got a dream and he gave her a mind opening experience something she's never forget that her dream should be all about her (just like the gif way above) as for Taichi he's very dedicated and he gave her that feeling of uncertainty sometimes like what is this? and that moment Taichi told her ( I won't say you gotta read it it's in the manga haha!) she was like dumb founded and because of that I feel like aha! Oh Chihaya now I kinda get it for this I really hope Chihaya and Taichi would end up together because of that moment she questioned herself and stuff definitely a game changer.

It's more tournament focused though although I really crave for intimate moments and Arata to show up oh boy! so many things yet to be revealed so if you're tuning in to this series and know what I'm talking about are you team Arata or team Taichi? that always seems to be the question isn't? haha

also the character developments are pretty outstanding this series covers friendship,love,slice of life and cultural stuff no wonder it won awards! I gave it 5 out of 5 stars due to its awesomeness! I'm really looking forward to Chihaya being Queen and her showdown with Shinobu also who would beat the master? Taichi or Arata waah! so freakin exciting! as for the next installment please publish it faster and more frequently haha

When Ho sang’s body is initially missing, the media sensationalizesthe case by scapegoating him.

Main Cast

Park Shin Hye as Choi In Ha
– Noh Jung Ui as Choi In Ha (young)
Lee Jong Suk as Choi Dal Po / Ki Ha Myung
– Nam Da Reum as Choi Dal Po / Ki Ha Myung (young)
Kim Young Kwang as Seo Bum Jo
Lee Yoo Bi as Yoon Yoo Rae

My Thoughts:

One of the main reasons I watched this was because of Park Shin Hye (Choi In Ha) I've seen loads of her dramas before and most of the time it's pretty darn good! anyway her character here was a daughter of what people view as an obnoxious reporter  (her mom) she idolized/worship her and would like to be her when she grows up but the thing is people say she can't due to her pinocchio syndrome and no her nose doesn't grow long whenever she lies haha she would hiccup and won't stop hiccuping til she spoke the truth so you can see she's somewhat in a pinch in her chosen profession.She also did a lot of headstands here whenever she's thinking seriously! so blood would flow thru her head haha *don't try that at home kids* also loads of cute moments like: (photo credits from the internet huzzah!)

I think these scenes are pretty much given in any korean drama

Now about Lee Jong Suk (Choi Dal Po) his family was a victim here he saw and experienced how cruel the world is as a kid what happened to his family is sometimes sad to say also happens in reality how reporters,old money people manipulate things to divert the medias attention for their own gain. What I like/love about this drama though was because of that it depicted that sad reality really well and we could all learn a lot from it airing the dirty laundry as they say in the industry.So here he is the young and grown up version.

so funny and tacky! I like the awkward moments of this video shoot

Makeover time! not too shabby

Actually my favorite character from this tv series is Min Sung Wook (Jang Hyun-Gyu) he's so funny without even trying!

 she's second haha surprisingly so although she's so annoying at first

Lee Yoo-Bi (Yoon Yoo-Rae)

it's so funny whenever people are like HEY YOORAE! ARE YOU CRYING?! like srsly?every freakin time it never fails to make me laugh and wonder wtf? it's like their punchline

Loads of plot twist also happen because of this guy Kim Young Kwang (Seo Bum Jo) for a chaebol(rich guy) he ain't so bad! and it's so refreshing whenever he's like amaze in simple things  that he's experiencing for the for time haha

Anyway, how their path crossed and how they brought upon change to the world was pretty epic! I won't say much I'd like you to discover it for yourself! watch this series! I really hope that's how the reporters/medias are in the real world!

Final verdict 5 out of 5 stars! oh yeah! I never thought it would be this good it's worth the rave and hype,it's very refreshing,modern and  the ending was cute too I tell ya so give it a shot whenever you got free time and dunno what else to watch it definitely gave me an inside look what a reporters life is like whether it's real or not.

Quick Synopsis: (Source: Goodreads)

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? (more)


My thoughts:

3.5  out of 5 stars!

At long last! I finally got around into it OMG this story! I find Amy disturbing actually she's an intelligent psycho bitch! I kinda feel sorry for Nick but his actions are well not good either. Their marriage became toxic and it got into them and they let it get into themselves.I guess this stuff truly happens when you stop trying,lack of communication,death of a loved one,someone sick in the family,stress etc. it adds up! your body,mind and spirit will take the toll. What I liked about this story is how it proves it's not always the husband who is the culprit. I hope the next 2 books would deliver some sense of justice.They all need a psyche consult asap!

Until June's brother is murdered, and Day becomes the prime suspect.

In a shocking turn of events, the two uncover what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths to which their country will go to keep its secrets.


My Thoughts: 3 out of 5 stars
I love the cover!I like how Day and June's narrations differ in terms of color and font easy to read,.I finished this within a day.At first I thought Day's a girl and June's a boy haha I got a bit confused at first but finally got a hang of the idea it's actually the other way around.It started slow at first then the action picks up somewhere around the middle and the end. Their character description/appearance is like they're such beautiful people I felt like they're so made for each other you know even when they're so dirty never showered much,scavenging for food in the trash bins undercover or not and all that.The idea of this book is really nice and I find it a bit unique I haven't read anything like this before.Hopefully I get a chance to continue this adventure soon enough!

My Thoughts:

I love this series! Definitely an awesome tandem Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho! This story kinda made me happy and sad at the same time. Sometimes when you think about it you think rich kids leads a happy life because they have everything or whatever but they actually most of the time don't have the essential things that matters in real life such a a normal loving family life you know. They're acting skill so brilliant brought these characters to life and the romance part especially the love triangle doesn't look so force you know it's so heartwarming and cute thinking they're all still in school aww...I like how the story intertwined and they're mothers so funny! there's quite a lot of comic relief moments overall 5 out of 5 stars a great balance in everything! family life,different sorts of relationships etc. I highly recommend this show! xD

My thoughts:

Took me awhile to finally get into this dunno why I didn't watched this soon enough or while it's still airing I guess I tried to stay away from the hype for what I heard it's really good! and it actually is! very good! well made and written pretty convincing actually although I feel like the ending is quite force like you know just so to get a happy ending but don't get me wrong I like a happy ending but theory wise you know? I like how there's an extra episode for the fans since it's such a hit! I love Jeon Ji Hyun especially in the early days of her career she also got married recently and I'm starting to get fond of Kim Soo Hyun his character always seems serious and uptight whenever I watch him.Overall 4.9 out of 5 stars that ending tho... still I highly recommend this show! love love love!

Years later, an embittered Hwon meets Wol, now a female shaman who has no recollection of her past. Written by DramaWiki


My thoughts:

I cried in some parts of each episode I think the only time I didn't cry is when I got tired of crying or felt like my tears are all dried up hahaha

Let's talk about the characters...

I don't really like the other princess companion Bo Gyeong so plastic! also her father ugh so evil! no wonder she's like that although even til the end I hope she'll do the right thing..As for Princess Min Hwa's she's such a spoiled royal! I really hate it when she cries and people tolerate her for it and gets what she wants and that ending ugh -_-

looks like they're having fun (left: Young Bo Gyeong, middle young princess minhwa right young Yeon Woo)

I like to ship Woon and Seol I think they'd be like the perfect warrior couple haha! I love their swordmanship and action scenes although I really hope there's more scenes for both of them together.

Left:Woon (King's guard) Right: Seol (wol's protector)

Kim Soo-hyun so perfect for the King Role although it took him quite a long time to figure the whole thing out and investigate what happened eight years ago.

perfect bromance pic. xD

The Professor's scholar family so nice and perfect! they have intelligent,well mannered,nice,humble,and good looking children. Awesome upbringing! God bless their souls!

Heo Yeon Woo (Wol) the grown up version kinda looks like Moon Geun Young but not it's not her maybe because of the eyebrows and their faces kinda looks a like in some of her pictures

Spoiler alert!

If only the Chief Shaman Jang said it was Yeon Woo the crown princess in the first place meant to be Queen = The end hahaha!

Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars I really liked the story all in all I love the character developments, supernatural elements and I definitely believe in the old ways so it's really nice to see other people's superstitions,culture and all that. I highly recommend this series! check it out asap!

Hi guys!

Happy Halloween!

I'm sorry if there's a bit of mix up with my other post being up that's not suppose to be just yet haha but if you already read that then you'll definitely know what's going to happen in the near future anyway....I watched a bunch of flicks/tv show this week woohoo! like The Latest American Horror Story, Lizzie Borden took an Axe then catched up with some anime and manga reading like One punch man I love it! definitely my new favorite!

so what you up to? did you went trick or treatin? what's your favorite candy/chocolate? I hope you're eating some good candy/chocolate and having a good time ^^

Scandal Season 1 | Tv Series Review

Source: Imbd

A former White House Communications Director starts her own crisis management firm only to realize her clients are not the only ones with secrets.

Creator: Shonda Rhimes
Stars: Kerry Washington, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes |See full cast and crew »

Genre: Drama, Thriller
Runtime: 43 min per episode

Original Cast: Left to Right: Stephen,Quinn,Huck,Liv,Harrison,Abby,Cyrus and Fitz

My thoughts:

All the characters seems so wonderful and kick ass in there own ways. I don't really like Quinn to be honest she's like a lost stray puppy haha I like Huck his lines are so bad ass and so are Liv (Olivia Pope) character so powerful and I totally believe in her that she can fix anything haha!

Stephen's a womanizer trying not to get lost in his path to marriage/normal, Harrison's seems like a cool nice guy, Abby's a bit high strung,energetic most of the time and sarcastic I truly hope she finds somebody to love.Cyrus's manipulative and dunno really which side he is sometimes I never thought he's be gay but I love it! his relationship is a mix of modern and conventional means. As for Fitz well he's charming and confused oh boy!

I finished season 1 in such an easy breezy marathon can't believe there's only seven episodes? good thing it's on netflix now haha! I like it so far I think season 1 crisis is totally just the starting point for it all I mean that Amanda dilemma thing just blew up like crazy and I can still see that kid as the posh mean intelligent girl from the Gilmore girls haha she played her part well and Quinn for some reason I still get irritated by her and I seem to side with Abby most of the time haha you go girls! I'm trying to give Season 2 a go the struggle is real :)) Overall 4 out of 5 stars see it to believe it! I also like how the problems/cases are tackling modern day current afffairs.

Runtime: 137 min
Genres: Drama, Romance
Release date: 25 September 1998 (USA)
Synopsis:

A man marries his landlady so he can take advantage of her daughter.




My thoughts:
Watch out! here comes LOLA! Dolores such child is so out of control!very precocious!

to be honest I have no idea what's it all about at first all I know is that there's a book that I haven't read but people throughout the years have been raving about.This story so screwed up! ABOMINABLE! I tell ya hahaha

I like how this story brings some awareness about familial relations,what's right and wrong and mental issues. I think the term would be as they call it dysfunctional family...The guy didn't actually move on and was scarred early on with his first young love at an early age of 14. As for Dolores well she didn't grew up with a father with only her mom by her side who couldn't control her they're always yelling or arguing but there are some times they're okay and civil with each other. Now in real life if children like these do the same they would get spanked and punished a lot I imagined (especially if you have strict parents or coming from southeast asia) haha!

Spoiler alert!

She got pregnant with some guy and she's smoking!? srsly while pregnant? OMG!she's so messed up!
I don't know if anybody told her the consequences of smoking during  pregrancy that poor child!


Sad ending really -_-

Overall 3 out of 5 stars I think they all need some counseling and psyche consult!

My Thoughts:

I bought it at Publix (grocery store) I think it was on sale when I got it last year with a coupon or so I forgot the price but according to their site it's $13.95 it comes in three shades: Creamy natural,Buff Beige and Natural Beige. I have the first one: creamy natural.

The bottom compartment looks like this, there's the mirror, then the mini free brush and there are holes at the very bottom for ventilation purposes mayhaps? I dunno 

Now I get it when people say they hate the free brush that comes along with the kit like this (in any product whatsoever no matter what line or brand) So yeah after a couple of cleanups with lukewarm water and soap it became like this the adhesive/glue that's supposedly holding the bristles got caught/mixed in it's just so sad coz I sorta like the free brush which I find convenient to have/use although it feels a little rough since it's like synthetic on the skin ugh and I don't think there is any process to reverse this so I just got to deal with it or just use one of my face brushes -_-

 First look it looks like it's too much but once it blends in the coverage is light and finish off sheer.

with just one swipe of my finger 

it blends really nice especially on my face it definitely corrects the redness although if you have dry-normal skin like mine even though I bought creamy natural I just have to dab it on my face gently and not so much or else it might create/accentuate the dry patch.Definitely need to moisturize a lot. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars I like how it corrects the redness of my skin and all that although sometimes I can appear quite ghostly white or pale haha It's light,compact and travel friendly.

The first three's quite moisturizing while the last two got a matte finish.The Packaging is just clear plastic at the top and black at the bottom which is kinda cheap looking but hey what am I expecting it's these lipsticks are like $1 or something sometimes you can even buy them buy 1 get 50% off. The Colors are very pigmented I like to play with these and practice etc.the only color I didn't like is Vamp it up coz it's like and I feel like I just ate/drank squid ink hahaha truly very vampy,goth looking I don't really like the chemically taste like ugh but ya know now I understand why it's affordable and teens-adults have a love/hate relationship about them. But will I ever purchase this again? No...I'd rather buy the Revlon lipsticks or other brands than this I'm so sorry it's just that I feel like it's such a waste so sad I know T_T as much as I like the colors especially Dark Wine and Black Orchid I'm just not reaching for this stuff anymore...I don't recommend this product to anyone which makes me wonder why are these still on store/in shelf -_-

My thoughts:
I bought these at Walgreens for $2.49 each. I think these are great eyeliner pencils especially if you're just starting out/beginning to try and experiment makeup. It's soft silky creamy like texture so it glides smoothly on my eyelids, easy to apply, convenient,travel friendly and I like to use this a lot to play around with my looks and practice putting my eye makeup I love how I can smudge it easily so I can do my attempt on smokey eyes,I usually use this alone/by itself especially when I don't want to put some eyeshadows on,they're easy to blend.I like the colors and color payoff which is bold and pigmented. One time one of the edges broke I just simply use the back of my hand in order to recreate that round like edge and viola! it works no need for a sharpener whatsoever. Con(s), well it's not waterproof so if you scratch your eyes a lot chances are it would smudge or whatever. As long as you don't scratch your eyes excessively I think this won't budge the moment it sets and it's not that long lasting depends how you use it really so yeah...Verdict, 5 out of 5 stars if you want an affordable easy to use eyeliner try to give this one a go. ^_^
