Skin Products ~ Acne Journey

Recently, my friends have been telling me that my skin has actually gotten better since the last time they saw me. Which was 3 weeks ago. My family has also told me that my skin has gotten better as well. I think it's because of my new skincare routine and the products I've been using that have made my skin a lot better. So I'm going to share these Australian products with you. I'm sure you can pretty much find these products anywhere.

Birdy

Birdy's album cover named Birdy

Just this morning, my sister inserted this Birdy CD into the car. It was 12 in the afternoon when we were driving to Northbridge to have lunch. My trip to the city was a pleasant one as I was listening to Birdy and reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I think this month is going to be all about birds or something (even my blog head is of birds!)

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

I haven't finished reading the book actually, in fact, I'm only up to chapter 5,(i know! I'm sorry!) I only just bought the book the day before; so you can't really blame me as I only just started properly reading it yesterday while me and my family were out shopping. I really don't know what to say about this novel but it's sort of philosophical and makes you think of the world around you. Which is actually quite appropriate for me since I'm doing Philosophy & Ethics as a subject in school. I like the characters so far, I like May - the teenage girl - she's quite quirky and weird. I like it, I do.



I think the reason why so many people like Haruki Murakami's works, is that it covers so many themes and issues in real life. The way he presents it and the style of writing is just phenomenal, once you start reading, you feel as if you're there with the main character but it's a sort of very vivid and beautiful sort of way. He just describes everything beautifully and with continuity. He also challenges you with the issues the main character has to face as well. That's what I've picked up from the 5 chapters I've read. Ha.

Didn't like the HUNGER GAMES! [spoilers]

It might come across as a shock to everyone, since I usually like every movie I watch except for some...But personally, I didn't really like the Hunger Games. Honestly, I would prefer Breaking Dawn part 1 (only breaking dawn out of the twilight saga) over the Hunger games. I know many of my friends love it so much and think it's even better than Harry Potter. Seriously?! This movie gave me a migraine and I couldn't even see what was happening. The worst part is, is that it was so unrealistic and it was like they were trying to put everything into the book! Some people might complain that it didn't stay true to the book and what not, but I believe that the most important part of making a movie based on a novel, is just to pick out the important events and place it in the movie. You don't need to put every single detail into the movie unless you want it to be like 10 hours long.
