A side thought..

after watching the drama "In Time With You"
some things came to mind.

This girl very arrogant & headstrong, not the innocent sweet girly girl
yet can be your best friend, lover & confidante, mentor...anytime.

You love someone, but cant love that someone.
Both of you love each other but dont dare to make progress towards love relationship from great friendship, for fear of changing everything thats nice and good abt both of you.

Then there are admirers and suitors around you.
You just cant seem to communicate well about your ideals, dreams & aspirations...
and always feel tired after quarrelling and meeting them.

And one of you may have a boyfriend or girlfriend who cant seem to understand you or what you want, cos you are simply too headstrong.
Yet the more they love you or rather are just given too much, invested too much in the relationship (could be time or money) and would be wasted if leave now.
So they clung onto you and would listen to you as long as you take them along with you to wherever you are going.

Is this real love?
When we are watching dramas, we can spot this immediately and would say " they should get together!"

But in real life, especially for yourself, your own love life,
you dont see it as clearly. But its not easy to see it too.
Alot of times, the other party gives in to you, gives you the freedom you want and you also dont wish to hurt the someone. But think of it, the hurt is eternal and to both of you as long as you are together, hearts are somewhere else.

If you are in this, what would you do?
Will you get married to a man who seem to be everything good on the surface, and to everyone he is the perfect marriage material...but you don't love him as much as you wish to because your heart isnt there with him?

Or would you choose to pursue your heart, and risk the friendship, for the possibility it might turn out he also feels the same way for you??

Watch this and you know what i mean.

When Cheng You Qing says:
"I really dislike my current repetitive routine (admin) and I also want to know how far and what else I can actually do. Here's a rare opportunity. If i give up, I will regret later.
I want to prove myself."

And i think i got my answer.

You'll never guess how old this woman is

what an inspiration she is!


This woman may look like she's in her 20s, but don't be deceived. She is living proof of why women invest so much time and money on their looks. 


Says STOMPer Molly:


"Guys, if you still can't understand why your girlfriends are investing so much time and money on their looks, this Japanese woman is living proof as to why it is all worth it.


"Meet Masako Mizutani, a housewife from Nagoya. She may look like a 20-year-old, but that's actually the age of her eldest daughter. Believe it or not, Masako was born in 1968 -- which makes her 43 years old. She is also the mother of two kids. 


"So how does she manage to still look this stunning? 
She spends five hours a day taking care of her skin. And if you think plastic surgery has anything to do with her looks, you'll be surprised to know that she's all natural.


"Masako, who has appeared on many magazines, have become the idol of middle-aged women in Japan.


"Here are some tips from her to help women look younger:
  1. - exercise regularly, get enough sleep and don't smoke
  2. - eat fresh, healthy food
  3. - have a balanced diet and 4 meals a day in small portions
  4. - Drink lots of water and fluids as water helps wash off toxins and keeps your skin healthy
  5. - Apply lighter make-up and shades as you grow older
  6. - Apply vitamin E based cream or lotions on body to keep skin soft and supple
  7. - Always apply sunscreen if you intend to stay out in the sun
  8. - Follow the cleaning, toning and moisturising regime every night before you go to sleep.

Also to add,
9. Do what you love or love what you do. You have only one life. Please yourself before you can truly please others. If not, you are deceiving both yourself and others and how long more do you want to carry on this? All your life? 


10. Age is only a number. You can be 44 years old but felt like a 20 year old. Why not? Many things are usually all in the mind! The youthful looking ones are the ones who never look at their age and start worrying. They are nonchalant about it.

Injections or Makeup?

Sharing an article I stumbled upon on makeup vs surgery. These celebrities looked better after surgery definitely. But have some overdid it? 


Make-up Artist Reveals Celebrity Plastic Surgery List

By  on June 22, 2011

Artists depend on their looks to make money and take extreme measures to showcase their best side to the public. When certain artists were accused of plastic surgery in the past, they credited make-up artists for their improved looks. While filming program Trendy Master<教主來了> in Thailand, renowned Taiwanese make-up artist, Ray Chen, shared insight on how people can become more beautiful and revealed a list of Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities who had received plastic surgery, which included Raymond Lam (林峯), Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明), Leehom Wang (王力宏), Barbie Xu (徐熙媛), Dee Xu (徐熙娣),AngelababyCecilia Cheung (張栢芝), Fan Bingbing (范冰冰), Elva Hsiao (蕭亞軒), Fish Leung (梁靜茹) and Jolin Tsai (蔡依林).
Angelababy Had Extensive Plastic Surgery
With over ten years’ experience as a make-up artist, Ray Chen has worked with Cartier, Piaget, Dior, Agnè s b. and other international brands. He had first-hand contact with artists in their “nude” skin and applied make-up on superstars such as Alan Luo (羅志祥), Lin Chiling (林志玲), Leehom Wang, Bianca Bai, Barbie  Xu, Dee Xu, Lisa S. and Rainie Yang (楊丞琳). Ray identified that Fan Bingbing’s facial features have been enhanced via plastic surgery, “Fan Bingbing received double eyelid surgery and had her chin altered. Currently, many people who are interested in plastic surgery set Fan Bingbing’s face as their ideal target.”
Ray continued, “Fish Leong’s eyes, nose and chin were altered. Angelababy had the most extreme make-over. Whatever features she could alter, Angelababy had already done so. Her [original] face has worn away!”
  
Currently facing marital strife, Cecilia Cheung was identified by Ray as receiving plastic surgery. “Cecilia received [porcelain veneers] for her teeth and got botox injections. Her breasts are too perfect and do not meet the normal ratio where typically, a woman with big breasts possesses large upper arms as well. Her upper arms are too thin. There are only two possibilities: either breast augmentation or liposuction on her arm.”
Barbie Xu’s Extreme Facial Changes
Currently plagued by rumors of a third party in her marriage with Wang Xiaofei, Barbie Xu received plastic surgery on her face. Ray noted, “Barbie’s face underwent significant changes. This was not achieved through alteration of [facial bone structure] but through botox instead. You can see that when Barbie appears on camera, her face appears ‘frozen.’ This is due to frequent botox injections. Facial bone surgery would require a one-month recovery process, however botox only requires one week.” Ray revealed that Barbie’s face looked dramatically different before and after make-up use. “Each time she applies make-up, she needs to draw two lines around her eyes. Each line needs to be dragged out very long.”
To catch on to the wave, Amei (張惠妹) received injections to alter her chin. Ray said, “Her suddenly pointed chin was achieved through the use of Radiesse shots. Radiesse is considered a relatively hard dermal filler, providing better, long-lasting support.”
Raymond Lam, Huang Xiao Ming, Leehom Wang Altered Chins
Ray also revealed that Raymond Lam, Huang Xiao Ming, and Leehom Wang also have secrets to hide. Ray commented, “Raymond Lam and Huang Xiao Ming altered their chins. Everyone looks for the same excuse, claiming that they had car accidents previously. How come everyone who has a car accident has a scar on their chin? The same thing happened for Huang Xiao Ming and Leehom Wang in their ‘car accidents.’”  Ray was not against plastic surgery. “It’s not a big deal to get plastic surgery. However, some artists maintain that they never received plastic surgery and claimed to ask doctors to examine them, without willing to produce X-rays; then you know what is happening.”
Elva Hsiao’s Horrifying Face
Ray noted, “For example, Jolin Tsai looked prettier after plastic surgery. On the other hand, Elva Hsiao’s face is quite horrifying after alterations. The top part of her face is quite high and the lower part is also high. Jolin and Elva received the most extensive plastic surgery in the entertainment industry.” Ray referred to the addictive nature of plastic surgery. Perhaps Elva Hsiao, who once admitted receiving double eyelid surgery, may be an example.
 
Ray noted that numerous artists go on an overseas vacation and appear more beautiful after returning home. Obviously, plastic surgery occurred while they were on vacation. “Make-up artists’ skills are not that magical!” He stressed that when applying make-up for artists who were plastically altered, there was a need to exercise caution [in the pressure used on the face].
Natural Beauties
When asked which artists possessed the most natural beauty, Ray said, “Zhang Ziyi (章子怡)and Patty Hou (佩岑應) should be natural beauties. At most, Michelle Reis (李嘉欣)received injections, so she is considered a natural beauty as well. Mike Ha (賀軍翔)andJerry Yan (言承旭)look extremely different before and after make-up. In real life, you will not notice them unless they put themselves together nicely.”
Ray Chen’s shattering expose on celebrities who received plastic surgery circulated widely online yesterday. Currently filming with Ray in Thailand, host Lawrence Huang (黃小龍)returned to Hong Kong last night. On the phone, Lawrence said, “I serve as witness that Ray did accept such an interview and he did make those comments.”
Source: Appledaily
Jayne: Ray Chen is using his experience as a celebrity make-up artist to determine which stars received plastic surgery. While I do agree with the majority of the list, I wanted to point out that I think Michelle Reis had some work done on the tip of her nose to refine it.
Also, I think Leehom Wang did some minor eyelid lift to his eyes to give more “fire” to his eyes and make him look more alert as opposed to her early look when he was younger. Didn’t know about his chin work.
Huang Xiao Ming is considered the Chinese male epitome of beauty. Surgically enhanced or not, he’s beautiful!

Kinda relief today!

Somehow I feel calmer & know where I am heading.

The route to a place of faith & knowing.



Knowing my worth is to the world where I hear millions of applause & cheers & hugs who come from me sharing my gifts with you, the world.



My gift of making people look & feel more beautiful.
My gift of seeing the beautiful person you can be.
I have the eye of seeing deeper into you.
To delve deeper & see what people can't see...
And people feel happier & more confident because I could see that of them.
I will share the gift.
Heaven gave it to me.

Gift (definition): Be given and to give.

Everything flows when I am at peace with who I truly am.
When I share.
When I am myself.
I inspire others to be themselves.

Today's Quote


"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

- Judy Garland, was an American actress and singer best known for her role as Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz".

"If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise."

- Johann von Goethe, was a German writer and polymath.

"Nothing reduces the odds against you like ignoring them."

- Robert Brault, is a freelance writer.

"Don't play small! Stand up! Take charge! You are doing yourself and others a disservice by catering your actions towards how you think others will react. Instead, just be yourself, exactly as you are. When you are simply being yourself you will attract everything that is in alignment with who you truly are. You will be shocked to see who drops away. Their absence will leave a space for new and amazing relationships to enter your life. Just be you, and let everyone else do what they may. You are not what others believe you to be, you are what you know you are and nothing else. Just be. You will be rewarded for your courage with a life that reflects your true essence instead of an invented identity created to "please others". Ahhhh, doesn't it feel good to just be!?"

- Jackson Kiddard, author & polymath.

Some of my PR writeups..

The Business Times


Makeup call
by Melissa Lwee
IT USED to be that makeup was purely an aesthetic solution and often, even bad for your skin. For women, who have previously eschewed makeup for precisely that reason, that is, thankfully, no longer the case. Advances in technology have allowed a growing trend in the makeup industry - cosmetics that incorporate extra ingredients to provide (the once elusive) skincare benefits.

'Many people lead busy lifestyles these days and products that come with multiple benefits are a huge time saver for them,' observes Carolyn Khiu, brand general manager of Clinique Singapore.

'It is easy to understand why consumers are excited about makeup with skincare properties - for a single price, they get to enjoy a product that delivers multiple benefits. Take for example, blemishes and imperfections - not only do consumers want to conceal them, they also want to heal them at the same time.

'This has accounted for the growing popularity of multipurpose products with added benefits, like makeup with skincare properties. Being the first line of defence for the skin and the outermost layer in contact with the environment, makeup with skincare properties brings value to customers looking for all-in-one products.'

Gelainza Kong, trainer and makeup artist for the mega-beauty store Sephora has similarly observed this growing phenomenon: 'Skincare-infused Makeup' . . . is a really hot trend! Foundation that is acne-healing and makeup base or eyeshadows rich in antioxidants are what people are buying now. Some of these also heal most sensitive skins and hydrate dry skins, which are common skin issues caused by work stress and the environment.'

In truth, the idea of makeup with skincare properties is not a new one, having been introduced by super luxury beauty brands as a differentiating factor. One such pioneer in the idustry is By Terry.

'By Terry was a pioneer, innovator, launching lipsticks, foundations, loose powders, lip glosses that all combine skincare benefits,' declares its founder Terry de Gunzburg, who introduced products such as the cult favourite Light-Expert foundation ($98 from Escentials) that combines new generation hydra-smoothing hyaluronic acid microspheres with seven anti-aging substances.

'In what I call le luxe intègre - integrate and honest luxury - it is no longer an option to launch a makeup product that contains no skincare benefits.'

The problem - as to be expected - was that these products came at a price, so only a very select group of individuals could afford them. That is, until mineral makeup - makeup made of natural minerals to minimise the risk of allergic reaction - and the Korean sensation BB (blemish balm) creams exploded into the beauty market.

In the last five years or so, the meteoric rise in popularity of mineral makeup brands, such as Bare Escentuals and Jane Iredale, and the proliferation of BB creams from Korea have helped to develop an awareness among consumers that one's skin need not suffer when wearing makeup. As a result, the rest of the players - luxury and mass alike - had to rethink their strategies, precipitating a plethora of skincare-infused makeup onto the market.

One such mass brand that has jumped on this bandwagon is L'Oreal Paris that launched the second generation of its True Match Super-Blendable foundation which contains hyaluronic acid to boost moisture in the skin.

'From our market researches done globally, we discovered that there is a demand from consumers for foundation that has skincare benefits, such as more moisturising effect, natural formulation and light finish,' says L'Oreal Paris marketing manager Grace Tan.

'L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable foundation will definitely not be the last makeup product with skincare property from L'Oreal Paris. Look out for more in 2010. L'Oreal is able to do so because of our strong commitment (3 per cent of total revenue) to R&D and product innovations. Therefore, mass brands under the L'Oreal group - L'Oreal Paris, is able to produce products like True Match, that not only have strong product innovations, but with comparable levels of quality to high-end makeup brands.'

As image consultant Sharon Connolly points out: 'The thing is, beauty consumers are very brand loyal and they will always patronise their favourite brand when they are looking to buy something.

'Now, the beauty brands understand that, but they also know that in order to keep that loyalty, they have to keep up with the times. Think about it this way, if a woman walks to the counter of her favourite brand and asks for, say, a mineral foundation and the brand does not offer that, she will move on somewhere else. That is why, everyone has jumped on this 'makeup with skincare properties' bandwagon.'

The recent economic crisis has similarly inspired increased attention on this category of products. Adds Ms Connolly: 'What these products offer is greater value for money. If consumers can buy a product that works as a foundation and also help with anti-aging, it gives them more of a reason to pick it up, especially in these tough times!'

That said, Calvin Chan, medical director of Calvin Chan Aesthetic & Laser Clinic, warns that not all makeup that purport to be good for your skin fulfil their promises and goes on to advice that buyers should still check the ingredients carefully.

'I think a good one to look for is sun protection, which can be incorporated effectively into makeup, as well as moisturisers. Another group is anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants A, C and E that can also be effective in makeup and foundations. Vitamin E in particular is also a natural preservative that can help extend the shelf life of the product in question.

'AHAs are also effective in keeping skin tone bright and even and preventing pores from clogging and have been used successfully in cover-up as well as tinted moisturisers and foundations. A common skincare ingredient in liquid foundations is hyaluronic acid, which is also used in moisturisers to hydrate and bind moisture to the skin.'

And despite the benefits that these products can bring to your skin, he still believes that the use of real skincare products are still necessary.

'I do recommend that my patients still use skincare products that address their particular skincare concerns under their makeup,' says Dr Chan. 'Even if the makeup does purport to serve additional functions other than just provide good coverage, I would see that as a bonus effect rather than rely on it solely.'

Agrees Ms de Gunzburg who concludes: 'Because makeup offers more in formula today does not mean that using the appropriate day cream, for instance, would not make a difference.

'For example, aging skin is a little more demanding and I make sure I use the right day cream in the morning . . . Using appropriate skincare will really help in getting a flawless makeup result!'

Self love

Putting yourself first means that it may be necessary to say no to someone else in order to say yes to yourself.


We have all heard the instructions of a flight attendant reminding us to put on our own oxygen mask before we help anyone else with theirs.

This advice is often cited as a metaphor for self-care because it so accurately expresses why it is important. It seems to say, ironically, that if you can’t take care of yourself for yourself, do it for others.

Few situations in our daily lives mimic the wake-up call of an airplane emergency, so it’s easy to keep putting self-care off—easy, that is, until we get sick, overwhelmed, or exhausted, and suddenly don’t have the energy to care for the people who count on us. That’s when we realize we haven’t been getting the oxygen we need to sustain ourselves.

We begin to understand that taking care of ourselves is neither selfish nor indulgent; it’s just plain practical.

Putting yourself first means that it may be necessary to say no to someone else in order to say yes to yourself. For many of us, there is always something we feel we could be doing for someone else, and it helps to remember the oxygen metaphor.

You can even encourage yourself by saying “I am caring for myself so that I am better able to care for others” or some other mantra that will encourage you.

It also helps to remember that self-care doesn’t have to be composed of massively time-consuming acts.

In fact, the best prescription for taking care of yourself is probably small, daily rituals; for example, taking one half-hour for yourself at the beginning and end of the day to meditate, journal, or just be. You might also transform the occasional daily shower or bath into a half-hour self-pampering session.

Whatever you decide, making some small gesture where you put yourself first every day will pay off in spades for you and the ones you love.
The oxygen you need is all around you; sometimes you just need to be reminded to breathe.

Fashion Philosophy

Fashion is the visual, materialized interpretation of all our life's influences, whether they be positive, significant or otherwise.
Style is derived from our own imaginations, as a self-creating evolution to show the world who we are, who we want to be, and where we wish to go.

I'm aware of those stares that I receive for dressing the way I do sometimes. I'm not hiding behind my clothes, I'm living in them. I'm living my life. If I'm going to be free in what I pursue, what I dream, what I eat, who I speak to, and who I love ... I choose to clothe myself in.

Much of fashion consists of story-telling, poetry, geometry, artistry, movement, creativity, construction, technology, architecture, nostalgia, and emotion!

You can wear your anger and your rebellion. You can wear depression. You can wear playfulness like a scarf in the wind! You can wear sexuality. You can wear your happiness. You can wear a memory like a souvenir.

Where do you think fashion comes from?

I'm living liberated.

What's your fashion philosophy?

Born to Be Somebody - Justin Bieber



Born To Be Somebody lyrics


There's a dream in my soul,
a fire that's deep inside me.
There's a me no one knows
waiting to be set free.

I'm gonna see that day;
I can feel it,
I can taste it.
Change is coming my way.

I was born to be somebody.
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me.
I'll light up the sky like lightning,
I'm gonna rise above,
show 'em what I'm made of,
I was born to be somebody,
I was born to be,
and this world will belong to me.

This life can kick you around,
(woah)
this world can make you feel small.
(woah)
They will not keep me down.
(Woah)
I was born to stand tall.

I'm goin' all the way.
I can feel it, I believe it.
I'm here, I'm here to stay.

I was born to be somebody.
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me.
I'll light up the sky like lightning,
I'm gonna rise above,
show 'em what I'm made of,
I was born to be somebody,
I was born to be,
and this world will belong to me.

Feel it,
believe it,
dream it,
be it.

I was born to be somebody.
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me.
I'll light up the sky like lighting,
I'm gonna rise above,
show 'em what I'm made of,
I was born to be somebody,
I was born to be,
and this world will belong to me.

Oh, oh,
oh, oh...

And this world will belong to me.

Ye-ah, ye-ah, ohh...

And this world will belong to me.
