Hauls from Hawaii

helloooooow, guys! how are you doing today?

hope you're enjoying your life like i am :P

as most of you maybe already know that Nanzy is already in Jakarta, before she went back i asked her to buy for me first several products that aren't sold or sold much much cheaper than Jakarta.

so here are the total damages from my hauls from Hawaii *wink wink*

1. NYX Round Lipstick in Tea

2. NYX Round Lipstick in Power

3. NYX Round Lipstick in Lala

4. NYX Nails Polish in Karnak

5. NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Dark Brown

6. NYC Brow/Eye Liner Pencil in Black

7. Jane Blush in Blushing Blossom

8. HiP Color Color Truth Cream Liner in Black

and it costs me around $35. and i got HiP Cream Liner!! LOL

arigatou, Nanzy-chan! sorry for the inconvenience i caused =P

NYX Round Lipsticks! Nanzy enabled me through one of her posts about NYX Round Lipsticks that she bought and yeeeessss i wanted them, too! -sigh-

NYX Round Lipstick

the color is a bit darker in actual tho. one thing that i like about NYX Round Lipsticks that i just bought is that they're not shimmery yet have shiny effect that makes the lips appear more glowing :D

Tea is also a bit darker actually. but yea it's a natural choice of color for daily wear. i think it's gonna be in my fav list in no time.

power is a lil brighter in real life. it's like a bright lavender kinda color. guess i'll mix it with other color to soften the color hohoho

Jane Blush in Blushing Blossom

            

i'm sooooo loving this color! fits my skin color perfectly. just take not too much amount and sweeps it from cheekbone to the apple of the cheek and voila! fresh looking face!

Jane says, "Remarkable powdered blush formula that is streak-proof and fade-proof. Soft colors give skin a natural flushed look. Sweeps on naturally and blends easily for a look that’s true to you!."

NYC Eyeliners

i really like NYC waterproof eyeliner pencil coz it's easy to apply smoothly. and maybe the color can be a replacement when i'm bored with my black eyeliner. and NYC brow/eyeliner pencil i think might be good for lower lash line for now coz it's still sharp lol in a nutshell, i love these NYC eyeliners <3

HiP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

at last i got my own HiP Color Truth Cream Liner in Black! i've been wanting this product for quite some time now and thnx to the sweetest Nanzy, I GOT IT! it comes with professional brush which i don't think i'm gonna use it tho since i really like the gel liner brush that i own currently.

it's creamy, easy to apply, not too dark and not too light. the perfect black i'd say :)

Cleanse Your Soul

               

so it's a present from my friend, Tomas! Cleanse Your Soul Happy Birthday Cupcakes Foaming Sugar Scrub.

Cleanse Your Soul says, "Sugary pink lemonade blended w/ white wedding cake, marshmallow topping and a cherry on top."

i know, YUMMY, right?!

so i asked Nanzy for a neutral color of nail polish and she recommended me buying this one, NYX Nails in Karnak. and yes, i'm glad i chose this color. such a pretty neutral color, don't you think? it's a YAY for me! :D i can wear this when i'm not really into artsy nailsy :P

**************************************************

AAAANNNNNDDDD!!!!

the most favorite thing among all!

ladies and gentlemen.. i present you........

.............................

MEN OF HAWAII! 2010 calendar!!

Nanzy said that Aaron, her fiance, Insong and Tomas got this for me and i was like "..................................... ok................."

so yeah i asked for a Hawaiian guy for my presents and DEAR LORD! they gave me Hawaiian GUYS! LOL

aren't they the sweetest or what? hahahahaaaaaa -____________-"

so i'm in love with the January Guy LOOOOL

i was really speechless when Nanzy handed it over to me and just went "what the....."

so basically those what i got from Nanzy and her guys. really really love love love all the things i got. danke schon, guys!

and thanks for reading for you :)

have a lovely daaay!

Weekend Trips: Semarang

hey all!

how's your weekend going so far?

as i mentioned earlier, yesterday my family and i went to Semarang, the capital city of Central Java. we took a plane from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at around 1 and arrived around 2. well it took app. 50 mins by airplane.

SEMARANG E YOUKOSO! it was freaking hot! after we got out of the airport, we directly headed to a shop selling curtain and bed sheets to buy ourselves some cute and nice new bed sheets woo-hooo! i picked a purple one and it was expensive lol. gomen ne okaasan. then suddenly i got a really really painful stomachache i couldn't barely walk. never felt that way before even when i had my period. so we had to head directly to the hotel. took a medicine for period cramp and took a rest a lil and the pain was gone. not gone completely but it was much much better. then we got ready for a gathering night with my dad's office ppl all around Central Java and also Police Academy in Semarang i believe.

one of the performances last night. the band was from Police Academy. they played 2 songs, can't take my eyes off of you and indonesian song from ST 12 called Cari Pacar Lagi (Find Another Girlfriend). they played soooo good i was really amused!

food time! the left one is Martabak (my fav!!). taken from wikipedia:

Martabak telur, or egg martabak, is a crepe-like dish which mainly comprises vegetables. It also includes chicken or duck egg for the batter - up to six eggs for a large one. Martabak telur is made by spinning pastry until very thin, like filo pastry, then shallow-frying it in a custom made flattened heavy wok. The ingredients are added, then the pastry is wrapped around the ingredients to make a parcel. Usually, it is cut into squares afterwards for consumption. It is often eaten with slices of cucumber, and a dark brown sauce made of vinegar and palm sugar.

the right one is Tahu Petis, i guess? LOL. personally i don't really enjoy eating this one coz i just don't hahahaaa. but trust me, it is actually really delicious. many ppl love it tho.

we stayed at Santika Hotel. and i had to put this pic. the bathroom is incredibly LARGE, the photo is just a very tiny little space inside the bathroom. it's even larger than my ROOM. LOL and we can see the unfinished building outside. romantic, right? hahaha.

again, i just had to put this pic. very typical of Indonesian motorcycles and i'm pretty sure also in other Southeast Asian countries, right fellaaas? okay so who am i to judge them? but it can def. danger their lives and the poor baby. at least they should consider that before going with motorcycles with 3 or more ppl on it, agree anyone?

the building at the back is called Lawang Sewu (The Thousands Doors). okay so maybe the name is exaggerating but it sure has LOTSA doors! it is believed as one of the most scary and haunted places in Java Island and it was used for making a horror movie with the same title as the building's name. the movie's not good i heard but meh!

so that's all my trip to Semarang. enjoyed it a lot. too bad we stayed there only for one day. OH! and i met one of my precious friend back in Japan, Teguh! i was soooooooo happy! just like the old times even for like only 15 mins. he introduced his girlfriend, Brenda. such a pretty lady.

HAPPY WEEKEND, ALL!
