Online shops I recommend!
December is here!Although I don't celebrate it, Christmas is less than two weeks away! That, and because I've been getting requests to create a post listing down my favorite online shops), I will share with you guys some of the online shops I love shopping from! Hopefully, this will also help you find a gift to give this holiday season! ^_^
I love shopping. Be it in the mall, or online. Even just window shopping. I love looking for stuff to buy even when I know I can't purchase it.
But since it's the holiday season, I'm pretty sure you all have saved up or received some cash by now! And since it's also the "gift-giving season", I'm pretty sure you're all looking for a gift to give to your friends, family, significant other, or even for yourself!
I will be listing down a few online shops that I love, and which I would think would be a good place (well, website...) to browse for gifts to give this holiday season.
Why I *still* haven't made any makeup tutorials...
Hi~~~~~~Sooo I know you guys are still hoping for a makeup tutorial from me and YES I really, really am planning carefully on it, I'm just trying to find the time to fit it into my schedule, I'm so sorry T~T
Diet?
Hello~ so here I am in front of my laptop in the dark at 3AM with my headphones on with K-Pop on shuffle typing this blog post instead of sleeping. Oh, Kristine.Before heading on to the topic, I miss vlogging! I actually have quite a handful of people asking me to upload another vlog and yeah, I will soon. I just kinda got lazy especially after my bro's cam's LCD started to show a black screen whenever I flip it to the front and vlogging without seeing yourself is kinda hard since you don't know if you actually are getting yourself into the frame. Anyway...
This post is about how I lost weight, how I want to lose weight, how I gain weight, and basically all the stuff relating to diet. I type this post while eating a chocolate chip cookie. How ironic, huh?
:women:
So lemme tell you a little something that could help you understand women. At one point in their lives, guys have probably scratched their head in confusion while dealing with a woman. It could be his mom, his sister, girlfriend, or basically any female in their lives. Yes, women are hard to understand, that's true. That's why I'm here to kinda give you a heads up when it comes to women.
Officially living and breathing for 2 decades.
Hello~ if you have been following me on my SNS, you probably know that last Tuesday (Oct. 21) I celebrated my birthday and officially entered my 20s! I am now proud to say that I have been living and breathing for 2 decades! Ah~ I don't know what's coming for me now that I am 20 years old but I do hope better things will come knocking on my door! I'm guessing that at this age I should have a career and slowly walk through the road of success. I guess this is the time where I should start looking for a stable job to be able to support my family and have enough to start a family in the future. (Ah, Kristine, you just turned 20 and you don't even have a boyfriend yet you are already thinking about your future family...)Anyway! Lemme share you what happened and what's new before, during, and after my birthday!
Underrated K-Pop Groups
Hello~ I am back with another post. As y'all know, I always look for underrated groups to follow. Most of the time, these groups I discover and follow (in my opinion) are better than the popular ones. They just need a little bit of attention and that's what I usually do when I discover one: I immediately post it on Facebook for everyone to listen to them.In this post I'm going to post music videos of underrated groups that made me follow them and I hope that I increase their fanbase through a simple post ;)
Love Letter - Berry Good
Ice Baby - Tiny-G
At First - JJCC
Double Up - Two X
Ring Ma Bell - Two X
Pain the Love of Heart - SPEED
SPEED consists of the guys from Co-Ed, a group I've been following since their debut but sadly disbanded.
Like This Like That - 5DOLLS
5DOLLS consists of the girls from Co-Ed.
News - Nine Muses
One More - Fiestar
Mask - Stellar
Tornado - 4TEN
Hate You! - Delight
To be honest, there's still a lot more I'd love to show you guys but for now, I hope you enjoy these underrated groups. ^_^

Soaps that ACTUALLY work...
Hello cuties~ I'm sorry for disappearing, I've just been busy with K-Pop events and dance practice recently, I even forget to vlog T.T but! On the bright side, I am back with a review of some soaps I tried out last week. You might be thinking, why does it take only one week for me to review something that should be tested for 2 weeks or so? Well, it's because the effects of the soap are fast!Last last week, I asked a fellow K-pop friend of mine what whitening soap she'd recommend to me as I am really desperate to lighten my arms because it got tanned from going outside to frequently T.T she suggested this soap from a shop that I always hear from other K-pop friends and so I decided to try it out.
I went on Instagram and looked for the shop and purchased some soaps. The shop owner was really, really nice and friendly! I ordered soaps on a Wednesday and her last shipping day was on Thursday (the next day). I was able to pay the next day, however, I wasn't able to reach her cut-off time. I insisted it was okay if she shipped it on the weekend since it was my fault (well, the weather's fault for raining so suddenly!) anyway. Being the nice person that she is, she still insisted that she will try to find a way on Friday to ship it so that it would arrive on Saturday.
When I came home last Saturday night, IT WAS ALREADY HERE! :o
So I finally got the chance to try out the stuff last Sunday, Monday, and yesterday. So, it's not really a week. Just 3 days of testing and I already have a review up my sleeve. Hehe.
Why I don't want to fall in love right now
I'm a stupid girl when it comes to love. We've all been stupid in love at one point. It's just that I feel that I'm still to naive when it comes to love. I still make mistakes such as confessing too early on, or even showing my attraction towards a person too much.I don't always allow lots of people know who I like but when I do (which is rarely), I'm tellin' ya, that means that the person has been denied by my heart quite a few times but I still find myself falling in love. I hope you guys get what I said...
Let me rephrase that for better understanding.
When I go public about the person I like, this is what happened inside my head/heart:
- I like him! ♡
- I can't fall in love.
- I don't like him.
- ...I like him.
- ♡
- I don't like him.
- I don't like him...
- Maybe I do...?
- NOOOOOO!
- Okay, I do like him TnT
And that, my friends, is when I know I'm in love. Usually it'll stop at number 3.
Why I like skinship
What is skinship?From Wikipedia:
The term has also been adopted in South Korea as 스킨십 (seukinship). In South Korea, non-sexual physical contact between members of the same sex is normal, and is often encouraged. Seukinship largely refers to the act on bonding though intimate, non-sexual contact between platonic friends that includes, but is not limited to, holding hands, hugging, cuddling, kissing on the cheeks, and, sometimes, even bathing together.
From Urban Dictionary:
In Japan and Korea, the term "skinship" is used to describe the intimacy, or closeness, between a mother and a child. Today, the word is generally used for bonding through physical contact, such as holding hands, hugging, or parents washing their child at a bath. The earliest citation of this word appears in Nihon Kokugo Daijiten in 1971.
Why my BFF means the world to me
It feels weird but I'm actually crying while typing this post but I've had a lot on my mind recently (I don't even know what and why exactly) and I feel so down these past few days and I just needed quite some alone time. I can assure you tho, that every blog post I create, I don't create for the sake of having something to post, but instead, I create it because it's what I feel. Especially this post. Everything I'll be saying here comes directly from my heart and like I said, I'm crying my heart out as I type this.For some (unknown) reason, this week all I've been feeling is down. Like, I just really want to be alone. I feel like I have the world's weight on my shoulders and I myself couldn't figure out what's bothering me. Mood swing, perhaps?
But this very day, I met up with a friend to hang out and chat and we got to talk about my best friend. I always love talking about her because she means a lot to me. She has been by my side for almost 15 years and no one understands me better than she does. *eyes clouding up*
My friend said that I'm like the sun in our (my best friend and I) friendship. I said no, I'm more like the moon and my BFF is the sun and she lights me up. My friend said I am the moon and the sun. As we speak, I am the moon because (dear friend, correct me if my memory is wrong) I am dull, and I look like I carry so much weight on my shoulders but when I'm with my BFF, I shine so brightly like the sun. My smile is so genuine when I'm with her.
Talking to this friend of mine, at some points I almost teared up. I tried my best not to and was successful but I failed at one point: when my voice started to shake.
My friend asked me this question: What do you think your life would be like if she *knocks on wood* disappeared?
I know the answer. I would be lost. I would be lost without her. But the thought of her completely disappearing from my life is what made me crack a little bit inside. I can't ever imagine a life without her.
She means more to me than anyone else. I must have done something good in my past life to be given a best friend such as her. She is worth more than all the riches this world could give you. She is my other half.
It's true, you don't need a person of the opposite sex to call your true love. I found my true love. I found her. And mind you, there's no homo in this relationship. She is my sister, my partner in crime, my soulmate. She is "The One."
I'm happy because I myself know that I'm very difficult to understand. But her, she understands me. Even better than I do, myself. For 15 years, this girl had been by my side without any kind of motive but just to be there for me when I need her or not. We can not talk for years (we've been through that) but that won't make us drift apart. We are best friends for life. Even after death.
So, Sarrah Jane Pagaduan, my BFF. If you're reading this, I want you to know that I do love you with all my heart. You have been with me during my worst, and also during my best. I don't know why I was given someone like you. You mean so much to me, and I want the whole world to know that. I wouldn't be where I am now, and I wouldn't even be me if it wasn't for you. You make me a better person. Thank you for loving me, for caring for me, and for understanding me throughout the years. I love you.
I'm sorry if this post is long, I just needed to get this out of my chest and I also needed a good cry.

People don't know me too well
Hello, guys! I'm back with a new text post. I've been busy with life lately, and busy with my blog giveaway plans as well so I hope you guys don't mind if blog posts and a new video on YouTube won't come in pretty often. I just have a lot on my mind right now and to be honest, right now, as I am typing this post, I feel...quite blank. I dunno. There's something I've been meaning to get out of my chest.
Well...ok. Maybe not that. lol
Err...okay, back to the topic. I guess it really just bugs me when people judge me based on how I look. Well, not judge, but they assume things because of how I look and because of how I am. Lemme explain to you the bits and pieces of how it's like to be me.
Warning: TL;DR post

Korean Straight Eyebrows Tutorial + IU-inspired?
Hello guys! I promised a new tutorial and I finally got my ass up to do it and here it is! I know I also promised that the next tutorial would be in video form, but please bear with me a little more!

I only have a vlog prepared for now, but I plan to upload a tutorial instead of this vlog as my very first YT video.If you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, please do! Click me!
So here is one of the highly-requested tutorials~ Korean Straight Brows tutorial!

What being a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo feels like
Many people have asked me what it's like being an INC member. Many people have also asked me if a certain "rule" of the INC they've heard is true. I've also been put into on the spot debates when it comes to teachings in the INC, to which I have thankfully (and safe to say) won.It's no surprise that the INC still has many haters despite the fact that we help people, usually seen in our charity events and free dental and medical exams but then again, it's a part of our journey here on Earth and we can't really please everyone.
I'm making this post as I really have a lot of thoughts in my head especially during this Centennial celebration week and even if I'm tired and stressed from the stuff I had to do since Saturday, being a part of the production team of this event was really worth it.
So here I am, sporting a face mask as my skin deserves a much-needed treatment after breaking out from the stress and fatigue. While waiting for it to finish working its magic, I'm gonna share with you guys what it's like and what it feels like to be a member of the INC.
KFEST 5!
It's 4:30AM and I'm here blogging since I couldn't really sleep and this topic is something I've been itching to blog about since Sunday night so here I am turning my thoughts into a blog post and wishing that after my thoughts are spilled into this post, I can finally sleep. Darn this stupid bipolar body clock. Lemme sleep early sometimes, will ya?
KFest was held last Sunday, July 20 2014 at the Megatrade Halls 1, 2, & 3 at SM Megamall. Special guest was M.Pire which, to be honest, is a group I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT but who cares, they were good-looking and okay but I think I'd enjoy it more if they brought 4Minute here. I'd prolly buy all the VIP Tickets and have the whole VIP section to myself puhahahahaha
Sometimes being a woman sucks
It's like what, almost 3AM and I can't sleep (totally doesn't surprise me). My sleep cycle was fine weeks ago, the latest I'd slept was 1AM so what the hell happened, body???But my sleep isn't the point of this post. I know my blog is more about beauty, and cute stuff and all but hey, it's MY blog so y'all shouldn't be complaining. =P
So again, to the point of this post. Don't you girls hate it we get our period? I do. This is actually a random thought tonight so since I haven't blogged for a bit cause I got a bit (you mean a lot) lazy, might as well turn my thoughts into posts y'all can read and hopefully, relate to.
Okay. Here's the thing. Periods really suck. Especially on the first few days. If you're a guy and you happen to stumble on my crap blog then you know what period feels like? Like Niagara Falls between your legs. If you can't imagine that, well, it's also like peeing your pants but about a gallon of pee whenever you cough, sneeze, stand, sit basically it will feel like that whatever you do lol
Korean Ulzzang/Dolly Makeup Tutorial + Palette Review
Hi guys! I'm back yet again with another highly requested makeup tutorial: Korean ulzzang/dolly look!To be perfectly honest, this look is leaning more towards the dolly look, in my opinion an ulzzang look should be more natural so I might make another version of this look. Although I've seen ulzzangs with this look, but most of them still go for a more natural look.
Here is the look:
