Nature Republic Taiwan Haul !!!

Dear blog:

Went to Taiwan and came back with one of my favourite skincare brands Nature Republic
This is the first time I actually bought so much from a store.......at least I think so......
Anyway Taiwan cosmetics are way cheaper compared to Malaysia......buying it in Korea would probably be even better......but I went to Taiwan and went to 2 different Nature Republic stores, one in Ximen and the other one in Feng Jia Night Market.

These are all the products I got from the 2 Nature Republic stores I went to.......probably the most I've actually bought from a store........
The first thing that caught my eye was these adorable scented hand sanitizers, they don't have these in Malaysia yet so I bought 6 of them in Rose, Orange, Acacia, Apple, Peppermint and White Musk.
Peppermint is my favourite because peppermint is always awesome. Some of the other scents are quite strong so I picked the ones that weren't as strong as example : Lemon......it still smelled good though......but too strong
 I bought a 10 pack of Aloe Vera gel, gave 4 to my brother and left myself with 6......i now only have 3 left after 2 months because that's how good it is.......to me at least.......Behold Mount Aloe......
 Hand creams are one of the best sellers of Nature Republic so I bought a six pack a packet consisting 6 tubes. The scents were Cotton Baby, Avocado, Lime, Acacia, Green Tea and Grapefruit. Haven't opened it yet so.......I'm looking forward to it......
 I got 2 rose cleansers. These cleansers have been working quite well for me except when I'm in deep stress mode but other than that it smells nice and I would say its a good product.
 Got a hair and bath brush. I really like this brush because it feel gentle on the scalp.
 I saw this pore pack when I was browsing youtube about Nature Republic and came across a video of EXO-K promoting this nose pack......thus the power of hot men got me into watching the whole video and I watched some video reviews and decided that I'll get it when I'm in Taiwan. I only got one box because I just wanted to try it but actually works quite well. The first time I used it, the blackheads actually minimized quite alot......yup.....I like it.
 As usual most korean cosmetic stores would be free samples but I did not aspect to get this much......probably because the malaysian ones don't give as much.......who knows ?
I tried the snail mask recently and my skin has improve a lot.......I'll probably be buying more of them
I haven't tried the Aqua mask yet so........the results are yet to come.
As a person with quite sensitive skin ( ex: after I ate chocolate I found a few pimples the next day ) I would say that Nature Republic is quite a good brand to invest in.......plus everything smells good....

That's all for the Taiwan Nature Republic haul hope you've enjoyed reading it, if you want to know what else I did in Taiwan please check out the Taiwan trip blog that will be uploaded as soon as I finish my finals and

Taiwan Goodies !!!

Dear blog :

So I came back from Taiwan about 2 months ago and honestly Taiwan is THE place to shop for cosmetics, clothes, food ( I guess ? ), accessories, merchandises and SO much more. I miss being there the moment I reached KL.......but of course I still miss home.....and my bed. The scenery in Taiwan is beyond description, if you saw my instagram pictures, you would know that the places I went are just breathtakingly beautiful.
I didn't buy as much as I think I would have.......suprisingly......
So here are the goodies that I have bought back from Taiwan !!!

As you can see by the first picture that I love products from Nature Republic and Etude House....
I'll be doing a another post for the products from Nature Republic and Etude House 
  I bought an EOS lipbalm, I can't find EOS in Malaysian stores so I was really glad to be able to find it at Taiwan instead of ordering it online.
 I got the strawberry flavoured one and it smells and taste just like strawberry. Best lipbalm I owned so far......
 I also got Nougats that came in adorable packaging......bought it from a expensive Taiwan snack store........nonetheless it is super cute and it taste just as good as it looks.
Taiwan's famous pineapple cakes as well as Pencil biscuits. Both tasted amazing, definitely worth it......plus the packaging is just beautiful........( still keeping the boxes )
We have choco pies in Malaysia but I've never seen Strawberry choco pies before so.......i bought them.......because strawberry flavoured snacks are awesome.....and I like it alot ( devoured in 2 days )
 These do not look as appetizing but they're actually baked mushrooms. I personally don't really like eating mushrooms but this is just simply irresistable !!!
 And lastly I bought Pineapple Cakes for my friends to try and......i guess it wasn't bad.....its not something we have in Malaysia so it was a good experience.
That's all I bought back from Taiwan. Please look forward to the Taiwan trip post that would probably be posted after my finals.......yup......its finals and I'm still writing this.......
Anyway I hope you have enjoyed reading, please look forward to the next update and
Thank You for Reading.

Sailor Moon Micro Blocks ?!

Dear blog :

Who knew Sailor Moon mini block figures would be sold at the one place I never liked going to........
I picked up Sailor Moon herself, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus because those were the only ones on display......but I'm still looking for more. These Sailor Moon block figures come from a brand named Micro Block and I hope to see more figures coming from this brand.


The first one I did was Sailor Moon which took me a while to figure out but it turned out OK.....I guess



It took me about an hour or more for Sailor Moon........

The second one was Sailor Venus



This one took me only half an hour because the steps were kinda similar to sailor moon except less complicated for the hair.

And the third one is Sailor Mars



Sailor Mars took me an hour to complete because there was an error in the instructions and it took me quite a while to figure out how to replace one hole in her head........

I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog as much as I've enjoyed building these mini figures. Please look forward to the next update which is either a travel blog or a nanoblog or it may be something else........I don't know........anyway
Thank You for Reading.

My man's best friend

Dear blog:

As they always say man's best friend is the one and only loyal dog. They wait for you to come home despite you being late, they forgive you for whatever that you have done to them, they stay loyal to you no matter who they have met, they will always remember their loving owner no matter what happens. I got my first puppy at the age of 11 and I decided to name him Max ( I usually call him Maxie ).
Max was really small and cute and playful and lazy and obedient. He looked like a toy when he was 3 months old.
It all started like this.......... a fluff ball
And now he's like this......
A grumpy lazy old grandfather who sleeps and sleeps and eats and sleeps. But he always has his beautiful full black eyes. ( this angle was perfect )
Max was living a peaceful life until I decided to get a big fat thing big ball of energy to accompany him (wasn't really the best idea ) indeed it was a dog and I named her Millie.
Millie was really playful, super small, always hungry all the time and loves sleeping type of dog. Compared to max's size she was just tiny........like seriously tiny.
Ok maybe I exaggerated abit......but still she was small. At one point we decided to put her in a shoe...
And she fitssss!!!!! ( she looks super miserable )
We also tried making a look like a judge .

 Millie was only 3 months old when we did that to her.
Now she is 3 and she looks like....
 You may think you're seeing a beautiful, obedient and cute dog but like they always say never judge a book by its cover, in this case never judge a dog by its looks.

Max's life was never the same again, he had to learn to share and tolerate the one and only annoying Millie.
He did really well despite always having a little fluff ball jumping on him all the time but as time passed by the bond between both of them grew stronger.
Of coarse there were the times where Max just couldn't take it and Millie would just start a fight despite her being the smaller. ( We are small but we are mighty )
They do not look like they are fighting in the picture but the scenario after this was just running, chasing, jumping and barking.
Despite all the times that they go through it all comes to an end where they will always remain the best of friends and always inseparable.
 Being able to have these two troublemakers really made my life more interesting and also I will always have somone to be there for me no matter what. Max and Millie have made a huge impact in my life and I will cherish them forever.

I hope you enjoyed this blog, please look foward to my next blog entry and thank you for reading.
If you have any questions or whatsoever leave them in the comments. TQ

Where It All Began....... My Otaku Life(Anime CDs)

Everyone's otaku life all began with the one anime that started everything. That goes the same for me, my otaku life started with an anime that everyone knows ........... Naruto.
I know.......stopped collecting after realising download was actually possible. I don't even watch it as often now.
But of coarse the collecting hobby just continued and it never stops.........
It started with.......
One stack.......
Then two stacks........
And now three stacks..........it all sums up to....
65 cds in total ( not including the naruto cds and some that were somewhere else I don't even know )
Out of all the 65 cds ( or more ) I have my favourite animes ( who doesn't ) which are
Uta no Prince sama !!!!!!!
One of my favourite anime because of the HOT GUYS / FAVOURITE SEIYUUS creative story plot and the beautiful music they produce .

Free ! Iwatobi Swimclub
If you don't know Free !........... please get a life. Its an anime FULL OF HOT GUYS that can motivate people to do some swimming and admire abs.
Kuroshitsuji 1 and 2
which I also have the CD with the OVAs but......I didn't know where it went.....
Still waiting for the Book of Circus which is something like the 3rd season to come out in CD.
Danganronpa
which is the anime I cosplayed from. I cosplayed as Celestia Ludenberg because her hair looks awesome and I also love her ring. (  Celes is my second cosplay ).
K project
A nice anime until my favourite character died .... ( MIKOTO....... so sad ). They also have a movie which is K Missing Kings which came out around June in Cinemas for one day only ( I regret that I didn't go ) waiting for the movie to be released in CD.
Shugo Chara
The first few animes that I watched when I was 12 I think.....or was it 11.....I don't know.
Its a good anime that teaches people to have self confidence even though too much self confidence can end up getting oneself in trouble. I actually considered cosplaying from this anime but then.........I got caught up in doing another cosplay ( First cosplay was Yui from Angel Beats )
 La corda D'oro
This is the anime that motivated me in taking up another instrument which is the flute. Not many people appreciate classical music these days.
Amnesia
An anime with HOT GUYS a girl that lost her memories and was trying regain them back with the help of her friends .
Diabolik lovers
An anime about a girl being given to vampires as a sacrifice and just as predicted she also became a vampire so............ya........ but at least the guys are hot.
Brothers conflict
The only thing I could come up in my mind while watching this anime is How could a person have 13 sons and imagine having thirteen brothers ( Like one younger brother isn't enough ) and a talking squirrel ( which is kinda creepy at the same time cool ) but still....... going back to reality our brothers don't really look that hot.
Kaichou wa Maid sama
Quite an old anime but with a really interesting storyline........and a really hot guy.
Gosick
Because one of the main characters ( Victorique ) looks super cute and also because I enjoy watching animes that are about solving mysteries.
Kuroko no basket
Which is probably coming up with season 3 because of the huge cliff hanger at the end of season 2. I am just wondering how long can a basketball match last.......

By the way if you're wondering where I keep all the anime cds its in......
 A crappy box and......( the naruto cds go into a different box )

A very old cupboard ( sorry about the crappy pictures because........... me taking photos is like me playing archery.......its horrible )

So.........these are the few animes that I like and I hope that you enjoyed reading about some of my opinions on the animes ( I have no intention to brag........so if you don't like it........its OK because everyone has different opinions )
I don't have the biggest anime cd collection but........I just wanted to share it.
Still trying to come up with what to post up next so...........please look forward to the next blog entry and Thank You for reading .
