snippets 109

aka: of make-up and books.

Can I just say, I just read one of Myla's entry http://acrosslovelysunshine.blogspot.com/2011/10/things-i-want.html, that's why my thoughts are of course, more likely than not, would tread on same waters.

Ergo, that of make-up. Now and forward, I know I won't be able to keep up with the demands of putting make-up on and off, everyday. I could barely keep up with keeping my dark spots at bay and the rest of my hygiene regimen. Another thing is, in my current mind set, I am not a fan of make-up. I am so sorry, Yi. Yes, I would admit that some time last year, I wanted to learn the ropes of putting make-up on. I even wanted to have "make-up" classes. But that was last year. And some time through this past year, I realize my face gets wildly messed up when I wear make-up. I barely look myself.

I even do that without make-up on, my mother tells me my face morphs. I'd like to agree. Sometimes I startle myself when I look in the mirror. There are also times when I wake up and I headed straight to the mirror and get freak out on the things that have changed ever since I slept. They revert to normal most of the time, although I am completely clueless on what really is normal.

Going back to make-up. I rarely wear make-up, full on or otherwise. I only wear make-up full on, on my kindergarten graduation, gradeschool graduation, senior gradball, taking pictures for the high school year book and my sister's 18th birthday. That's it. I swear. I wore a little make-up on my nursery graduation, taking pictures for grade school year book, high scool graduation, one of my college classmates' 18th birthday, a friend's 21st birthday, my college graduation, I am not even sure if I put something on for my oath-taking. Although, there were a few days in college I wore colored eyeliners. :D. And that's about it. :D

As for books, I miss buying "real", tangible books. I miss smelling newly opened book. I even volunteered book-hunting with Payi. Which ended with me finding an online seller instead of your old surveying the bookstores kind of book-hunting. So that's that. :(. Although I am pretty happy to make her happy, she even commented I could really be a "personal shopper". I don't know why I wanted to help, it just feels right. Hahaha. She's lucky, I think, because I am in the mood. :)). She kept asking if I need a commission or something. But I said no. I even told her we should sell the extra "hunger games" book 1. I am looking forward to that. :D

My sister Sarah, has this book entitled "Perfect" by Ellen Hopkins. The story is written in poetry verse. So it's quite interesting. I am also interested with her, Ellen Hopkins', work. I want to collect all the hardbound goodness of them. :D. You'd ask, what is my e-book reader doing among all these? Well, for practicality's sake. My e-book reader is handy and I won't have to spend a lot of money on books that are not collection material. :D This book loving thing, I think it is in my blood. I think I am genetically made up for books. If there's such a thing. :D :D :D

Here's the poem that is at the back of the "Perfect" book. And I grew in so much envy of so many things, the book, the poem, reading and writing, sharing and creating and probably a lot more than those. Anyway, here goes:

HAPPY READING BOOKWORMS! :D
