You're Only Young Once...

So... Someone just had her birthday about a week and so ago. What sort of things a lucky girl like her got on her birthday, you ask, since she's been a very good girl and never shop much the past few months *cough*superbroke*cough* :P

From her sexy and loving boyfriend, Furla Elizabeth Bag:

From the best cousin in the world, Juicy Couture Heritage Aviator Sunglasses:

From her awesome son, the most awesome son a mother could have, Burberry Perfume:

And last but not least, Chinese Laundry Bonita Shoes (It's on 70% off sale, only $ 19.99!) from Me to Me!!! Happy Birthday You Spoiled Brat!!! ^__^

Just Too Cute!

Finding Heels.com is not helping with my shoes addiction. Sigh. Now have you seen anything this cute lately? I don't think I will ever wear it, but it's just so damn cute I had to share it.

Babies!!!

I so want to see this movie but so far no one wants to go with me. I can't even guilt tripped them with my birthday. Waa!!!!

Have I Talked About Cupcakes Latelyyy?

In baking mode all week end, I was making cupcakes for my 3 cousins because their birthday are close together. And that inspired me to make more and take pictures of them. Here's one of them:

Shutter Island

I don't care what you say it's a good movie, it's just a bit too long and winded. By the time Scorsese got to his point I was loosing interests and some feelings in my bum. LOL. This movie just need to get to the point a bit faster, that's all. But I tell you why it's worth watching, DiCaprio's acting, and the fact that he's easy on the eyes. ^__^

Vietnamese Summer Rolls

Healthy & yummy, perfect for summer. Use Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce or Hoisin Sauce for dipping. If you want to make your own sauce, here's my favorite Peanut Dipping Sauce recipe.

Isabella Swan

Today I'm doing a Twilight's inspired make up. For Bella's pale complexion I use highlighting foundation all over on top of regular foundation. I use grey and brown eye shadows and dark grey for the corner of the eyes. I don't have the exact color for the lips, so I mixed an orangey red with a pale peach color to have a similar shade to Bella's lip color.

Silver Vixen

Practice Makes Perfect! Feeling bold and sexy in a sparkly Silver and Black eye shadow, I guess this is good for a night out?

Angelic Blushing Bride

I'm practicing my new make up skill again today. Barely there, beautiful and soft, perfect for a blushing bride. For the lips I use Mac Faux Lipstic and Mac Peroxide Lipglass. For the cheeks: Mac Angel. And for the eyes: Mac Slip Pink, Mac Jest, Mac Espresso for the corner and Mac Vapour for highlight. I use Maybelline Full & Soft mascara and false eyelashes.

Cute Mini Cupcakes

It's official. I love making cupcakes. And no matter how much I try I keep making them pink. :P

More Cupcakes, Baby!

Still bad at decorating, but I never screwed up the taste of my cupcakes. Ask all my friends and family who were lucky enough to try them! :P Here's a recent batch, with icing and sugar flowers.

First Cupcakes!

My first cupcakes, made them last week end. Of course the frosting is pink. It's me! :P They tasted so good, I think I will be addicted. I use Raspberry in the frosting to give it flavor and pink color. I'm pretty proud because this is my first time making cupcakes. Great success, HIGH FIVE! ^__^

Bead Photography Tutorial

I just finish my glass/bead related photography set up tutorial, and also bead photo editing tutorial, a basic one. To go to the tutorial, click on the images. Hope you find them useful.

Getting Ready

This photo was inspired by the teddy bear. I passed by the mirror one day when I was getting ready and caught a glance of the bear. So I took this shot. It was pretty ackward, because I wanted to be close to the mirror to get my self off the focus as possible. I had to aim to the mirror and focus on the teddy bear. Plus I don't want my arms shown in the shot, so I hold the camera up high. And I'm pretty happy with the result. :)

Love is a Losing Game

Have you heard this song by Amy Winehouse? It's a slow, haunting song, combined with Amy's unique voice, it's beautiful but very sad. Be careful not to listen to it on the day where you are feeling really down especially because love's suck. Cause this song will just make you cry, might even push you over the edge.
Don't say I didn't warn you! :P Anyways this song inspired me to edit one of my photo. For complete song lyric, click on the photo. <3

Lovely Gerbera at Niagara

Hey, it rhymes! ^__^

When I take photos of flowers it usually involved a photo cube and some proper lighting. That's why I love this particular shot, nothing fancy involved. This flower was on our table when we were dining at this restaurant facing the falls at Niagara. I couldn't help myself, I had to take pictures. The trick was to do it discreetly, so the other tables won't assume I was a Japanese tourist who take pictures of everything. ^__^

And a good cropping made it simply lovely, don't you agree?

Daughter of the Dawn

I will not make, the same mistakes that you did. I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery... I will not break, the way you did, you fell so hard, I’ve learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk.. Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt.. Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me, Because of you I am afraid...

I lose my way, and it’s not too long before you point it out.. I cannot cry because I know that’s weakness in your eyes... I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh, every day of my life. My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with...

Because of You~Kelly Clarkson

The Pink Cake

Not in the mood to write anything. Just.. I made a cake and I frost it pink. Just because. Doesn't look too nice but trust me, it tasted great. ^__^
