My thoughts:

Now running on its third season I truly think it tells a lot about the show. If that poster didn't get to you I don't know what will haha! it's so freakin disturbing I tell ya and yet I can't stop watching it it's that good! I can't even sleep that much it makes me think about human psyche and actions, I hope nobody attacks me when I'm all alone or sleeping or something like that these thoughts hunts me, make me do a double take sometimes, just the mere impact of this show to me made me extra cautious about the world.

I only saw a couple of commercial ads from time to time before I decided to check it out to be honest if they first told me it's psyche and mystery and more brilliant crime ala sherlock I'd check this show out in a heartbeat.

On with the spoilers I can't really talk about this show without mentioning a lot of spoilery bits I'm sorry and some of the spoilers aren't really that spoilery haha I just like you to get a little bit of taste into it so you check it out hope it works? ;)


Spoiler Alert!


Dr. Lecter ,brilliant mind, it's scary how intelligent he is covering his tracks, actions, manipulating people, playing such a very disturbing role acting like God/Devil,Wolf in sheeps clothing. It's really hard to imagine how will they catch him? I hope the table turns soon!

Would you even believe Lecter go to a psyche consult? I guess he can't help himself sometimes, spill some beans without entirely spoiling it let some of his other side show from time to time and 

Dodging Death , I bet this is how the killer thinks in a killing spree
and Dr. Lecter's psychiatrist  (in which you'll find out soon enough or probably know of if you watched the show this is actually a bonus spoiler haha) OMG! I can't believe how calm she is despite what happened are psychiatrist really like this? she handled her situation fairly well although I hope she comes forward and say a couple more statements especially in season 2!

Will Graham's brilliance is also his curse and weakness.It's scary watching him dive into a killer's perspective yet very interesting at the same time his imagination is spot on epic! which kinda reminds me of Sherlock Holmes but more twisted. I like how he use his gift to find whoever did the crime and find justice for the victims. And yet in the end it got into him, he let his guard down. 

NO! why would they do that to him ?!
Will's  love interest Alana  (Dr. Bloom) grew on me although it's not so hard to imagine at all. I like how Alana believes in him in some ways can't help but doubt her decisions is he right? or wrong but how? her professional curiousity blossoms into something more she can't help herself wondering the what ifs in every situation.

Jack Crawford, he's a good man but I think sometimes how he use his manpower and decision making/leadership skills endangers some of his men and he still got long ways to go..

As for the forensics team I love how diverse their personalities are how quirky, funny and how brilliant they are in their own ways.

Final Spoiler Alert! 

how? you need to watch the show in order to find out. It's so scary I can't believe she did that on her own seriously by herself without telling anyone in her team or whoever her activities and whereabouts before marchin on. OMG! she's such a brave soul!

Overall I think this show is epic and disturbing I can't even sleep! haha so I gave it 5 out of 5 stars!
I might as well check the book out Red dragon by Thomas Harris I love this show!

What about you? please share some of your thoughts down below I'd like to believe I'm not the only one losing it with this show haha ^_^v

I need to sleep

Game of Thrones Season 5: Mother's Mercy (Finale) The Feels + Spoilers | Tv series Review



My thoughts:

It took me awhile to gather all my feels for this season...Overall I think they did a great job covering a lot of material from the books and venturing beyond. There are a lot of variations and unexpected things this season they never fail to surprise and shock me even after all these years.

I guess I'm a little bit angry and disappointed in the finale although I like how it jumps from one characters point of view to another it's just that I expected a little bit more like in Cersei's walk of shame down the streets I thought the people would be more rowdy. They did a good job though with the crowd control. At first I was like who was that guy in the golden armor that carried Cersei once inside the castle then I remember that Frankenstein experiment OMG! simply diabolical!

There are so many extra people this season which makes me smile and wonder are they really real or the works of CGI? they say say it's more of the first though anyway moving on...I like how Varys came back and now joining Tyrion oh yeah this is going to be amazing!great tandem those two!

I simply don't know how they all pulled it off I never thought they'd kill Jon this season it just slipped my mind.I flipped and yelled NOOOOO!! all the way til the end I hope he comes back and haunt them down! which is very unlikely according to the latest interviews with Kit Harrington..hmm.

I really really really expected something more from the sand snakes mann! that's just simply such a let down although as they all usually say poison is a woman's weapon. I knew it the way she bid her farewell I bet Bronn will have a pretty good idea about this and hopefully would tell Jaimie.

for more in depth spoilers kindly check out Laura Prudom article I mean there are a lot of post out there so enjoy googling I just thought I'd share this one with you.

I gave this season 4.5 stars I really don't want Jon Snow to die so sad! and I really do hope George RR Martin's plan is way better for the Winds of Winter.

Please let me know your thoughts down below the comment section it would be nice to have a little support group haha let's cope all together!

Exploring the World of Color : Make up

I don't really know much about make up I don't really wear a lot of make up in the first place that's why sometimes I like to explore it. And right now I'm discovering a lot of new things like my new love for rosey eyeshadows, peach blush, product hydration,creamy rich satin formulas,what's good and bad,what's hot or not?

Let me share to you where I usually go shop and buy beauty products/ cosmetics whenever I need to attend some special occasions and when I do I tend to cram a lot or at least research ahead of time what to wear and all that. These days it's quite easy to research with reviews going on about the interwebs and of course youtube (beauty gurus,reviews etc.)
.
My usual go to places are CVS,Walgreens and sometimes grocery stores like Walmart and if there's a sale in Target ok go also I just recently discovered Ulta which is like the cosmetics/beauty haven just like Sephora but more affordable these stores now have a reward point membership program (not sure about Sephora though because I rarely go there ) I'm glad that most stores nowadays offer those programs and that they are quite nearby. Anywho, I usually buy drugstore goods since some drugstore brands can be relatively cheap of course there are hit and miss with their products but the color pay off and lasting power sometimes can be just as amazing as the expensive/ "high end" ones.

What I usually buy for when it's time to replenish my stocks are:

1. Foundation
2. Eyeshadow/eye pencil
3. Mascara
4. Blush
5. Eyeliner (optional, coz I tend to mess up the cat eye/wing looks or just buy a liner I could smudge to transform a look)
6. Powder
7. Concealer (eyes and blemishes)

Shortlist (not much budget) limit it to
powder
concealer
blush
lipstick (or if you can find a cheek and lip product in one all the better)

quite optional:
mascara
eyeliner/eye pencil

Note: Or you could just go to the Dollar store and buy one of these especially if you're only gonna use it one time ^_~

What I look for in make up are first off the price! (is it worth it or not?)
usual questions in my head are:

color pay off
quality vs. quantity
lasting power
will it match my skin tone
and the dreadful question what is really my skin tone? should I pick light?light medium?natural?beige? ugh so many questions!

so I'm really glad when the shades category are light/medium,natural beige or just plain natural.

and of course the ultimate what's my skin condition? will these products dry me out or would this cause me to break out or what?
the question poll are endless haha usually cosmetics lined up in the shelves like Walmart and Ulta the drugstore brand doesn't always have a sample available so you either research before hand, stare at the product so long and hopefully the swatch on the label or whatever would match yours or a kind sales lady approach you so yeah...

Some of my new obsessions these days are and I highly consider them as much as possible are cruelty free products, no talc,mica,parabens,mineral oil kinda thing also organic products and usually I can find them in Korean Cosmetics which is kinda expensive if you live in North America or in other parts of the world who don't sell them  (shipping wise) unless you found some supplier somewhere else it could be online or in your local asian stores.

Also The Brand Physicians Formula carry some no talc products like their powder and such in the States which is good so yeah. That's it for now I'll try to breakdown this topic a bit more it's far too long I think haha next up would be Make up expiration dates, some haul, morning and evening routine also review things and where I buy asian cosmetics.As you can see I haven't even talked about different kinds of brands yet so please stay tuned for that haha

What do you think? do you have any favorite make up brand/product(s)? what are you go tos and must have?please share some of your thoughts down below the comment section.

Summer & Music festivals!

Summer's just around the corner and it will officially start in June 21,2015 and would end Wednesday, September 23,2015 (Obviously haha!). Anyway, way back in the day summer for me begins when school is out or like when I go for a vacation somewhere something like that...these days what reminds me of summer though are concerts! lots of music festivals it's awesome! also cicadas (so noisy!)

This year I'm going to attend Sam  Smith,Incubus and Deftones,Van Halen,Kelly Clarkson with Pentatonix and Ed Sheeran WOOHOO! other than that I'm still thinking about Zedd and Taylor Swift because I'm thinking whether I'd just see him in Ultra whenever since the ticket is hella expensive anyway also hella far as for TSwift well hopefully I get to see her this year if not mayhaps in her next tour or like if I could win one of those radio raffle draw and sing and stuff on the radio really embarassing but whatever haha!

One of many things that made me go in these concerts is that :

1. I can finally go (even solo :)))
2. I may never get another chance like this
3. Be young, wild and free! haha!

So yeah been hangin around with a lot of old people lately so I think this is a good change of pace. 

THE JOY OF YOUTH! 

P.S

Hopefully I could squeeze some more reading time as well and catch up with a lot of shows I got so many on my list its crazy! but yeah these concerts are the big major one for me right now since I've waited for Incubus for a very long time so yey! plus you get their EP TRUST FALL (Side A) physical copy along with the ticket HOORAH! such a good deal indeed! xD


What about you? What are your summer plans? please tell me in the comment section below ^_^

Game of thrones Season 5 Ep 9 + SPOILERS | TV Talk

I don't think I really talked about this over here but I love this series so much! I thought it was boring at first but then again I gave it another shot and it just grew into me and before I knew it I'm obsess and reading the books and following this series it's so crazy and mindblowing!


If you haven't watched the show or never read the books but don't mind the spoilers then go ahead and read some ramblings in this post ^_^v

Anyway ok here's some of my thoughts about this episode also I'd tell you some of my predictions for the finale alright?

So Episode 9 that ending was actually the ending of book five a dance with dragons, The whole fighting scene I was screaming and calling for the dragon to come and he did came OMG! it was so heartwarming and awesome so epic!

 To be honest I never thought they'd kill off Shireen that way my heart bled for her after that, I'm quite disappointed with the Sand Snakes I thought they would be really kick ass like but then their moves you can tell are pretty much routine practice I hope they get more action and their moves improve in time make it more natural and free flowing. As for Arya I really hope she gets her revenge pwahaha! also become a fully pledge faceless woman.

moving on with my Episode 10 Finale? hmm...they think they'd end it with Cersei walking in the street naked which is part of book five I believe? it's been a long time since I read and finished the book so yeah...what else? Sansa will get her revenge and kill off the Boltons mayhaps this season? oh yeah that would be great! The war to the north goes on Stannis marching on, Jon setting up the defense and line up as for Arya hopefully she would scratch one name off her list. That's some pretty bold predictions for me hopefully some of it come true and then we wait....for book six and next season.


I might post my entire review for season 5 afterwards so I won't forget what's up with the tv series so watch out for that if ever that came into light haha! how about you? what do you think? leave your thoughts in the comment section below and thanks for reading! :)

Being here...

is peaceful
I feel like I have my own place
on my own again.

is simple
I feel like I can do whatever I want
whenever I want

is nice
everything's brand new
and very challenging

even though some of my plans never work out
as I thought it would be
I know everything will turn up right eventually.

Ghost

Saw you just now
thought you were dead
we haven't seen each other for a very long time

I turned and walked as fast as I can 
for running would simply give me away
nevertheless you caught up with me
and said "hey"

I smiled then simply nodded as I kept my distance
catching up with you would simply be..
the end of me.

The following day you dropped by my house
no one's home 
or so you thought
I hid and kept my shadow close.

Way back  in the day
I used to wonder why?
why you left and didn't even bother to say goodbye.

Now that I know better
I understand and would have to accept
the painful truth
the ugly truth

That we're never meant to be
as I read your letter and wedding invitation
no tears escape, as you are slowly dying in my eyes 

the man I once knew and loved is gone
the word us cease to exists
it's just another day
here I am living the life in total bliss!
