New Years Resolutions for 2013!

I didn't make a NY Resolutions this year - how sad :(

So I decided to make some resolutions and (hopefully) complete them by the end of 2013.

• Travel - It doesn't even matter where as long as it is outside Perth. However, I hope it is somewhere besides Australia because I want to see other countries and learn different languages and cultures. 
• Become a more consistent blogger - I have done a better job at blogging this year than last year and made more quality posts but there's always room for improvement. Hopefully I can blog more this year.
• Improve YouTube channel - YouTube does not necessarily mean success but it means I can make more friends online and possibly learn the ways of a filmmaker (maybe) such as filming and editing videos like a pro. Hopefully I can get at least 1,000 subscribers by the end of this year. 
• Get a part-time job (no fast food) - Get a good paying part time job which can support your rich lifestyle of buying Lush products every week. No fast food jobs like McDonalds or Hungry Jacks because they don't count. Improve resumes as well.
• Become more STYLISH - I have been so slack and haven't been buying any clothes at all. I have barely any clothes I can wear for winter except for my pyjamas. So I want to become more stylish and have my own style of clothing that defines who I am.
• Perfect my skin and makeup (Be more pretty) - Take better care of my skin and learn how to apply makeup so instead of making me look like a drag queen, it'll actually make me look better. Learn how to do a PERFECT winged eyeliner.
• Have penpals and send gifts to them! Have friends/penpals from across the globe and send letters and presents to them.
• Become a better student and stop procrastinating - I should have studied more this year but oh well, I'm happy with my result even though I didn't even study that much this year. NO! I MUST motivate myself to become a better student and at least get B's. NO MORE C's - aim for at least B's and 70% +
• Start cosplaying properly - Make more friends at conventions and hopefully find friends who are interested in cosplaying/anime/manga so that you won't be a loner at conventions as you don't have any friends who are interested in that anymore. 
• Get drivers license - I still haven't received my license yet. 
• Read more books and become more intellectual - I have actually read a lot of books this year  but I'm going to keep track with goodreads.com and manage to finish at least 20 books this year. As opposed to 10 (which I didn't complete). 
• Have more hobbies - So that I become a more interesting person and more all-rounder person. I have so much to say about sims 3, k-pop, dramas, anime, manga and what not but that's about it. I should have more interests and topics to discuss about so I can make more friends. 

[Review] Skin79 Absolute Total BB Cream Diamond

The BB cream has triple functions of whitening, anti-wrinkle and more intensively protects exposed skin by blocking UV ray A and B by keeping skin beautiful and healthy through offering brilliance of a diamond and vitality of just blossomed floral. 

Shiny compact packaging FTW *0*

Blended! Can you tell the difference?

Packaging

3.5/5

The packaging comes in a hot pink cardboard box which I thought was quite nice as opposed to the rather larger packages BB creams come in.

The actual product comes in a pump protected by a hard oxblood coloured, gradient plastic box. The actual product is protected by a metallic tube thing. I really don't know how to explain this but it's 15g . I like how it comes in a pump as it is more hygienic that way but will be rather hard to pump out the excess product once its nearly empty!

Coverage

2/5

Oil Control

3/5

Not the best but not the worst either! I thought it would be much oilier than that but it's been 3 hours since I applied it and I haven't got an over-oily nose or T-zone...yet! However, I find that it works well with powder and it instantly covers up the oil anyways so that is okay!

Texture

4/5

Overall

3/5

I wouldn't say it's the best but it's definitely not the worst either. It doesn't have enough coverage that's for sure but I love how lightweight it feels on my skin. This is good for me because I find that my Missha BB cream is so heavy and makes me feel like a cake face but this is so lightweight that I can't even feel it and it blends in well with my skin as well! It's almost as if I'm not wearing anything.

However I can't find a specific day I would want to wear this since during Summer it will be too oily and I can't wear it for formals as it doesn't have enough coverage. I would choose my Skin79 for days I need more coverage. So I can't see myself using this product that often.

Would I recommend buying it?

If you have drier skin, yes. If you want something that's lightweight, yes. If you're a BB cream junkie, hell yeah.

Sims 3 & Team Fortress 2!

I haven't been filming YouTube videos or blogging that much as I have been playing Sims 3 and Team Fortress 2 now that exams are all over!

If you have a steam account please add me HERE I'm cyndork. I mainly play Team Fortress 2 as Engineer or Pyro ~~ Woo! Although, I'm still a n00b T__T I still need to play more but I'm getting better (I think?). I usually just attack them head on and so I get killed really quickly har-har...

The other game which I've been playing is Sims 3! I've always been a fan of Sims 3 but recently I got Sims 3 Seasons which is the latest expansion pack!





























I've been sticking with this one family ever since I installed Seasons! I started off with Blake Windswell and Jordan Windswell. Blake married Gobias Koffi and they both passed away recently :( Jordan married Kaylynn Langerak and they have three beautiful kids!

Aliens in Sims 3 are really freaky. I don't know why they keep popping up and abducting the women o_O

Look at how adorable that snowman is!

They fell down on the ice-skating rink

Grim Reaper likes cats ~ He was hugging it and everything

Kaylynn Langerak vomiting coz she's PREGGGNANT with the third child

I swear I took more snapshots but this is all! I really love playing Sims 3 *A* but there are so many glitches D:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower Movie Review by cyndork

So I had the pleasure of seeing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky this afternoon with my friend, Anaya. I know - I know - the film has been out for more than a month over in America; but it only premiered here in Australia yesterday!

I was sort of disappointed that there weren't as many people in the cinemas as I thought there would be. There were only perhaps 10 people in the room. They all sat in pairs and it was really quiet except for the laugh-able bits in the film.

Anyhoo, the film was great! It definitely represents the novel well and I loved it so much. It covered so many issues and was quite overwhelming towards the end but I loved the use of music/soundtrack to support the scene. As it is a coming-of-age film, I'll compare it to other coming of age films and in that aspect, it does quite well in spreading out topics like drugs, sex, love, friendships, growing up etc.

Logan Lerman really surprised me, as did Ezra Miller. When they were first announced as Charlie and Patrick respectively, I had my doubts but after watching the film - I definitely changed my mind. They WERE Charlie and Patrick. I loved Ezra's version of Patrick, I can definitely picture Patrick like that but maybe a little bit more quirkier. Emma Watson as Sam was also great! I really loved her acting, I couldn't see the Hermione in her at all. I pictured Sam and it was nice. Nina Dobrev also did awesome, after watching the Vampire Diaries the day before and watching POBAW, I have to say that Nina did a great job! Of course, TVD fans already knew that as she plays two different characters Katherine and Elena (spoiler alert?) realistically.

However, I wish some parts of the novel were included. Of course I am aware that a film is a film and a novel is a novel so a whole novel cannot be meshed into one film. Such parts include showing Bill (Mr. Anderson) and Charlie's relationship more, the poem felt like an importance but I'm sure it didn't need to be included, Candace's abortion, Aunt Helen's background about being molested so that the ending would make more sense to people who haven't read the novel! However, many parts of the novel were included in there which I would have too and which I thought were important. One last thing - I wish Charlie cried more because he cried so much in the novel and that they would've shown that Charlie was smart and not only at the beginning of the film.

The quote 'We accept the love we think we deserve' played a huge part in the film.
