My Chinese painting, China Town and Karen's Love Package

Sawadee (hello in Thai), how is everyone?I am so glad to know that it's not only me waking up at 5.30 every morning but some fellow bloggers also have to begin life that early^^. Thanks all for your replies to my question~.

This is how the sky looks like early in the morning, I took this picture with my cellphone, it's a very old fashioned one but still I think Samsung cellphones take good quality pictures, at least I like the colors of these 2 pictures.

My sister borrowed this Chinese Drawing book from one of my friends who runs a Chinese learning Institue and since I have some Chinese painting equipments I tried following the sturucturs in this book . (This is the book cover- so pretty).

Looks like a Kindergarten kid's painting , I haven't tried other colors yet Because I still need to practise with black, the brush is somehow difficult to use.

This reminds me of China Town in Bangkok, it's one of the most exciting places to visit, so many things to see, shop and eat. They have this whole sale market which you can buy lots of nice accessories, New Year gifts and so many other stuff. China Town in Thailand is called "Yawarat".

Yawarat is near "Hualampong - Bangkok's Train station", so as soon as you pass "Hualampong" that means you are very close to "Yawarat" , I took these pictures last time I went there with my mom.

I received a new year gift from my boss actually she gave everyone at my work place this gift, how nice of her. But my working life is so hectic and busy all the time but why doesn't time passes fast when I am at work, ha ha ha...it does pass so fast as soon as I get home T T..

Karen (http://sizbelle.blogspot.com/) a lovely blogger buddie from Singapore sent me a love package, I so love all the items you sent me..Thanks so much Karen^^.

She sent me this beautiful Integrate Eyeshadow palette, the colors are really pretty.

Also this a hair holder so I won't have a hard time holding my bangs when applying makeupanymore,yay.
And finally this pretty Canmake mirror, I am fond of mirrors and love collecting them so thanks again for it , she wrote that it's a belated Birthday gift .. How sweet*

Thanks again to all my lovely readers for visiting and commenting on my blog, I already hit 300 followers so nice of you all until next time Chokdee (Good Luck in Thai).

*Nail Queen 2009..Pink Diamond Look*

Hello~I hope everyone is having a great weekend, I feel sleepy all the time coz I have to wake up at 5.30 every morning to go to work, imagine! Oh well ... I hope I can get used to it soon , what time do you girls have to wake up to go to school or work?

I was featured in Kasia's blog (http://kasiabelhadri.blogspot.com/), thank you so much Kasia , she is one beautiful blogger from Poland, check out her great blog.

Now sharing with you girls some news from my all time favorite Japanese actress (Kyoko Fukada). Kyoko has crowned "Nail Queen 2009", she just doesn't seem to have aged at all eventhough she is already 27 years old but still looks so young and beautiful^^.

In 2006 she already earned herself the same title and is known for her love for nail arts, look how pretty are her nails. I can't do any nail art since I go to work , I will probably be having a hard time managing things with it,lol..

More pictures of the beautiful Kyoko in this ceremony, her outfit looks so lovely but it only suits her, I don't dare to wear such outfits,ha ha ha...
Kyoko's recent JDorama was "Karei Naru Spy" which she played a role of a spy girl for the Japanese Government, the Jdoram isn't that fun though but I really love her dolly look in this drama.

Jung Sae Mool ,a makeup artist for Korean celebs has done a similar look to Kyoko's one and it's called "Pink Diamond" , her videos are so good especially the way she shows how to blend and blend when you apply foundation or BB creams.



I took some pictures from places near where I live ,mostly from the beautiful nature ..I will share with you some pictures from my Fisheye 2 camera in my upcoming posts , these pictures were taken by my digital camera (Panasonic Lumex) not a very high tech camera as I always mention I want Nikon (D60) why it has to be D60 because it is mostly used by Korean ulzzangs, ha ha ha...

So that I can get more high quality and beautiful pictures with it. How do I know?because I used to talk to an ulzzang guy on cyworld before and he told me that this camera is mostly used among them, too bad that he didn't talk to me anymore T T....

I will try to post more as I think weekend posts are too long so until then have a great weekend everyone ..

Mutenka Cleansing Oil Review and a Lovely Wedding

Hi beauties..I am back and I have some good news to share, I finally got a permenant job that's why I could not blog, yes you are right!I was unemployed for months and now I am back to the life of an office girl, does it sound miserable??

Life of a permenant office girl means that after all the stressful days you have for a whole month you will finally get paid for it, ha ha ha so that's the best thing about being an office girl.

From now on I will probably blog on weekends because I feel so tired after coming back from work but I promise to read and comment on your blogs so please don't get bored when visiting my blog.

My friend went to Japan few weeks ago and I told her to get me some stuff, she coud only get me 2 items since loads of other friends told her to get them some stuff too. So I got 2 of my most wanted items on my wishlist.

*Rohto Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion , this item was highly raved by one of my lovely blogger buddies Blair , you can go and read her review here since I just tried it.

The other item I got was *Cow Brand Mutenka cleansing oil , I really wanted to get this cleansing oil ever since I knew that it ranked 1st in one of the most popular Japanese websites (http://www.cosme.net/) , I blogged about their rankings in one of my previous posts , you can read about them here .

What a lovely crown sticker^^I really love how this item looks like, on the bottle it's written that this item has received the 1st ranking crown from 01/11/2008 to 30/04/2009 so in a few months be ready for the new rankings from this Japanese website, I got this product for approx. 9 USD, how cheap!

Zoe's review: this is a very mild cleansing oil, its best used for those who apply makeup especially waterproof mascaras. The oil turned into a milky fluid after I applied it on my face. It removed all my makeup very easily and did a fabulous job removing my waterproof mascaras, I always had hard times removing my waterproof masaras as I apply 2 mascars at one time.

This cleansing oil is gentle and moisturizing, does not irritate my skin at all and is definitely a must buy again. Now my skin is smoother and clearer than ever , I have used products like DHC and L'occitane Cleansing oil but I felt that they were a bit harsh for my skin since those 2 products were powerful deep cleansers that took off oil, waterproof makeup and dirt from my face all in one step.I highly recommend this product^^.

Moving on to the wedding of the friend who got me these 2 great items, they are actually twins and both of them were my seniors at university. One of them got married and her wedding ceremony was amazingly beautiful.The wedding was held at a 5star hotel called"Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel" here in Bangkok and was extremely elegant .

I felt like a princess going up those stairs^^,

This was a very cute idea of them to put their picture stands infront of the hall so that guests who joined their wedding can go take pictures with them.

♥ The sweetest thing ♥ was what the groom said on stage" I might not be as handsome as Ken Tiradet (Ken Tiradet is one of the most handsome Thai actors) , I might not be as rich as Pantong tae (Pantong tae is one of the most richest guys in Thailand), I might not be as good as Pepsi but I will be the best husband for my wife forever, I promise.

A piece of me with "Sanctuary Jewelry"

Juli , a beautiful and talented jewelry designer (http://jusanctuary.blogspot.com/)
sent me these gorgeous pair of earings , when I first saw these earings
I totally fell in love with them, this is my first time owning swarovski hearts earings, I so love how they sparkle all the time.

Her jewelries are really affordable and she also does custom orders so do visit her blog for more pictures of her jewelry creations and information on ordering and shipping, click here .

As I really love her jewelry designs especially her earings , I asked her to do a short interview for my blog, so that her customers and readers will get to know her more ,thanks Juli for doing this interview^^.

How did you get into jewelery design?
Well I actually got into it because I had TONS of free time on my hands since I'm a part-time student (there's no need for me to rush because no matter how many clases I take each semester, I'll still finish at the same time!) I was going through this Soompi forums,blogspot and etsy and saw a lot of people who made their own jewelry. I've been looking for a new hobby to take so, I figured why not. And now I love it. It will be a year since I've started next month in February. :]

How would you describe and think of your style and what kind of jewelry do you make ?
My style...that's hard haha. I can't exactly tell, but I mix in some girly (heart, star charms, pink/blue colors and so on) ideas long with designs that perhaps someone in the older age range can wear. Such as brown toned designs ( a lot go to my mom because she says I owe her free jewelry! haha). I like to keep it simple, and sometimes have a more complex jewelry design here and there. I guess that sort of describes my jewelry "style"? =D

I see that you use a lot of purple in your jewelries ,what's the story behind it?
Purple, really? I thought I used blue more (since it's my favorite color)! But, a lot of purple
ones are also because purple is my mom's favorite color

Finally, some last words to your customers and readers.
Random...as you can tell my mom is an influence with my jewelry too~ :P If anyone has some pointers on this jewelry stuff, let me know! =D I admit that I'm not a pro, just yet :P haha, so it would be nice for some feedback here and there :] I hope from reading this also, you get to learn a bit more about the person who makes the jewelry from Sanctuary :] P.S.... Zoe rules!

These are some of her beautiful jewelry creations, just by looking at them makes me want to own all of them^^.ha ha ha...

"Once Upon a Time" Tag, Red Color Tag and "You are a Doll" award

1. Post a picture from your childhood (less than 13 yrs old).

2. Write about the picture.

3.Tag your friends and readers.

The picture above is me with my mom at a park , I was 2 years old and was holding a kitkat in my hand (that's what my mom told me).

The only chocolate that I ate until I was 6 years old was Kitkat^^; I didn't like eating any sweets at all.

I can't remember what happened on that day at so I asked my mom , she told me that we wanted to go to this park with my grandmother but then my grandmother said that she will come afterwards since she still had a lot of work to do after a while when my grandmother came, we were already going to leave the park so we didn't get to go inside the park together, my mom said that this picture brought her a sad memory since my grandmother passed away months after we took this picture T T.


Now onto my next tag from Juli (http://jusanctuary.blogspot.com/) , check out Juli's fab blog for posts about her life and her jewelries, Juli makes beautiful jewelries that you can purchase straight away from her blog^^.
She is also holding a giveaway for US residents so don't forget to join.

Juli tagged me to do the Red Color tag, you pick 7 things in whatever color you were tagged for, take pictures of them, post and tag more people.

Ang Pan Man , I bought him from a man who sold toys on the street

A year after , I met the real Ang Pan Man at a Halloween Party^^; he was friendly to everyone

The red lights at TVXQ's concert here in Bangkok, I was forced to go to this concert coz my sisters were going , I wanted to cover my head with a sack when I first eneterd because all the fangirls who went to this concert were like under 15 years old!!!
A red flower I painted at the Botanical Art Workshop

Teddy bears picture frameRed Korean can Red nail polish

I also received "You are a doll" award from the beautiful Aralka ( http://aralka.blogspot.com/) ,

thank you Aralka for this award.

RULES

1.Remember to link back to the person who awarded you!

2. Select 5 more bloggers that you think are dolls and link them at the bottom.
3. Tell about a character from a book/movie /drama that you most like.

4. Post the picture and title on your blog permanently if you'd like.

Shin Yoon Bok (acted by Moon Geun Young) in "The Painter of the wind", a talented young girl who was disguised to a boy. Her character was very strong and delicate at the same time.She could sacrifice anything for the people she loved and was responsible for all her misatkes.

Momo (acted by Rainie Yang) in "Superstar Express", a very caring and warm hearted charater.
She might seem that she doesn't pay attention to the people around her but she is there to help anyone who
is in need of help.

Joo Yoo Rin (acted by Lee Da Hae) in "My Girl", she incredibly has a very cute and funny personality.
A very brave character to survive in any kind of difficult situation ,very cheerful and positive character
when facing with hardships.

Zuo Yi Quan (acted by Wu Chun) in the Taiwanese version of "Hanazakarino Kimitachihe", I think this is one of the most gentleman characters because since he knew that his roomate was a girl who was disguised to a boy he didn't take any advantage of her instead he tried to protect and always be by her side.

Kusano Akira (acted by Yamashita Tomohisa) in "Nobuta Wo Produce", I would love to have such a great friend as this character, eventhough he could be funny and act idiotly at times but he is so caring and understanding when comes to friendship.

Mars (acted by Jiro Wang) in "Superstar Express", Mars was a superstar whose popularity went downhill after a series of negative publicity but still he was cheerful and happy all the time. He would go through any hardships for the people he loved.

♥ Merry Christmas ♥

♥ Merry Christmas ♥

*All dreams come true*

May joy and happiness snow on you ,

may the bells jingle for you

and may Santa be extra good to you

Merry Christmas to all of you , I wish you all .. All the happiness in the world^^. I really love these lines , so I thought I'd share them with all of you~.

As we grow up,

we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
