My Digital Journal

This is going to be a long post, because what I'm gonna share isn't only beauty product, but also including last month's favorite songs & Korean drama! :p So, here we go!

1. The Balm Meet Matte Hughes - Committed

I found out about Meet Matte Hughes from @mamaofsnow's Instagram. She mentioned that this liquid lipstick is worth a try, and the shade "Committed" looks so pretty on her. I can't help myself to give it a try! I bought the same exact shade as @mamaofsnow from @makeupmodellare. I have no complain at all for the product. It feels light & literally cool on my lips, the pinky nude color suits my complexion, and it smells like chocolate-mint which I love!

2. Sephora Lip Liner - Royal Rose

I bought this out of curiosity because I haven't had any lip pencil before. It has a mauve rosy color which is perfect for fall. It's good that this lip pencil has a creamy consistency, so I can blend the product with my nude lipstick to create a gradation look.

3. Sephora Brilliant Jumbo Cheeks & Lips

I love this!! It creates such a perfect natural glow for my cheeks. But I don't recommend to use it as a lip stain, because it's too sheer and doesnt look visible on my lips. If you are looking for a new blusher, please take a look at this one :D

4. Soap and Glory Spray-on Body Moisturizing Mist

"Love at the first smell" is the best sentence to describe this product. It smells soooo fruity and sweet but not too much that I thought there's no reason not to buy it. It's very easy to apply, you just have to spray the product to your hands or legs, and spread the product evenly.

5. Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask 

My skin tends to get flaky because of its dry-combination type, so it produces dead cells very quickly. Thank God I had this clay mask, because it does wonder to my skin. It controls the sebum on my T-Zone, and removes dead cells on the dry area. Moreover, the one I purchased came as a Christmas edition package which is very adorable. Cute packaging is something hard to resist, isn't it?

6. Innisfree Green Christmas Perfumed Hand Cream 

This one also came as Innisfree Christmas edition package. Before I put interest on make-up, I was crazy over hand cream, well Korean road shop hand cream to be precise. Because they always give the idols' photo card along with the hand cream's package, they even printed the idols' picture on the hand cream's tube. Back to the topic, this Christmas hand cream smells so classic. The green one has a masculine scent that can be found in men's perfume, the red one smells like vanilla, and the white one smells like cedar wood. I personally like this hand cream for the packaging rather than the smell.

Let's move on to the fun part which is..... Korean drama!

1. Oh My Venus

Loooooove it!!! It's very entertaining and light. Not like any other rich x poor families K-drama type that will make us cry a river haha. This drama is great to bring body issue as a story. Kang Joo Eun, a lawyer in her 30s, gained a lot of weight as she grew older. Then, she met Kim Young Ho, a personal trainer with medical license who saved her life when she fainted in the airplane. The last episode of this drama has already came out, and the ending was just right. I wish they had more episodes though :')

2. Reply 1988

It's soooooo realistic, that I can relate to a lot of scenes there; giving extra food to neighbors, complaining because the clothes we want to wear are still being washed, fighting with younger brother over a chicken drumstick, crushing over a childhood friend but your pride is too high that you havent confessed until now, parents questioning whether we can enter a top university or not, and the rest of things that we experience in our daily life. If you want to know why your parents make the decisions that they do, why your siblings disappoint and annoy you, why liking someone for the first time hurts, and why childhood friends matter, then this drama is something you cannot miss.

December's favorite songs

1. A Little Girl - Hyukoh

"A Little Girl" is actually an old ballad song, originally sung by Lee Moon Sae. Hyukoh recorded the remake version for Reply 1988's soundtrack. It sounds as beautiful. Hyukoh is the next big thing. If you aren't into Kpop, at least you have to listen to Hyukoh's music. I recommend all of you to listen to "Wi Ing Wi Ing", "Gondry", and "Parachute". Oh and you guys can't miss his version of "Tian Mi Mi".

Gondry

Tian Mi MI

2. Gentlemen Dont - Gabe Bondoc

3. Mata, Hati, Telinga - Maliq & D'Essentials

Tak selalu sejalan seperti yang kau harapkan 

Tuhan tolong tunjukkan apa yang 'kan datang 

Hikmah dari semua misteri yang tak pernah terpecahkan

New year begins amazingly with Super Junior KRY. I have been longing to watch Super Junior KRY's concert since I start to like Super Junior in 2010. Super Junior KRY is a sub-unit of Super Junior, which famous for their beautiful ballad songs. There are a lot of stereotypes out there saying that Super Junior is just a bunch of good looking people, who had plastic surgery before; who only dance and dont know how to sing well. People dont know the hardships they have been through, how hard they practice before they even debuted as Super Junior. No matter what they do, people will judge anyway. Moreover, they havent heard any of Super Junior's ballad songs which sound really beautiful and have excellent musical quality.

Back then, Super Junior KRY only held concerts in certain countries such as South Korea, China, and Japan. The only ways I got to see them live were through Super Show and joint concerts such as KIMCHI, Music Bank, and SM Town. In Super Show, we were offered a full service of entertainment for 3-4 hours by the whole Super Junior members. They mostly performed upbeat songs with fascinating choreography in Super Show. Well, they did perform the ballad ones but not as often.

The last time I went to Super Junior's concert was in 2013, it was Super Show 5 in Singapore. I have stated before that I missed Super Show 6, haven't I? Well, I think my missing was paid-off by the great performance of Super Junior KRY+L (Leeteuk came along!!) yesterday. I love how Super Junior KRY's concert focused on vocal quality. The whole performance was accompanied by live band as well :') I gotta admit this is the best Super Junior's concert I have ever been so far. The lighting, VCR concept, setlist, seat plan, queue, and security check were perfecto! I have nothing to complain about. Four thumbs up for Super Junior KRY, and Mecimapro as the promoter!
I'm so out of words since I LOVE Super Junior's (old) ballad songs that MUCH; "Let's Not", "Coagulation", "The One I Love", "In My Dream", "Our Love", "Someday"!! I almost burst into tears when they sang my favorite song of all time which  is "The One I Love". I have been listening to it since I was in high school, and not even getting bored until now. It's basically my all time favorite jam. Too bad they didnt perform "Just You" :(

I have to admit that I didnt manage to catch up with Super Junior in these 2 years. But, no matter what, they will always be my  priority when it comes to Kpop boy group. Thank you for always be my #1 source of entertainment since I was in high school until now, when I'm about to finish my undergraduate program. I will wait for all of you to reunite as a full team.

I was so happy when I found out that the blog I made in high school is still accessible. I have spent few minutes scrolling through this blog, reminiscing the good old times, and realizing how silly I was back then. I suddenly came up with an idea, "Why not start writing again?"

It's been quiet a long time since I didnt post anything here. Guess what?? I went to KIMCHI live in Jakarta last June, and Super Junior was one of the guest stars!! Along with Girl's Day, Park Jungmin, and The Boss. It was an unbelievable yet intriguing experience through my 16 years of living. Full of joy and excitement. I was super hysteric when Suju came up on the stage, and I was so happy that I got to see their performances live! You know what, I couldn't sleep very well the next 3 days, and I still have final exams going on at school at that time. I'm not complaining though, at least I get to know how the so called "post-concert withdrawal symptoms" feels like.

When I first got into Super Junior, it was you that I first became attracted to. You got a really wonderful voice and a gorgeous look. As time goes by, I finally knew that you have a great personality. Especially when I watched one of the EHB episodes  about archery, I saw how determined you are to finish the task and hit the target. Then my love for you increased. You always inspire me to never give up. You are super genius too, the master of math. You trained for 3 months while the others take at least one year before debuted.

To my one and only GAEMGYU HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

"Everyone has that special band that brings them to tears. That band that they’d follow across the universe if ever possible. That band that helped them through those hard times that it was almost as if they had been sitting next to you the whole time, holding your hand. Everyone has that band that has left such an impression that it’d take years to ever forget them. We all have that band that made such a difference in our lives that not one person on this Earth would understand it." - Alex William Gaskarth

Well I'm biased. Why do I like Super Junior? Because they give me endless happiness.  
When you are biased, you know whose best.

After quitting the greeting card company while with a hangover. Tom decides to return to his original field and applies for architecture jobs.
