It's farewell for now...

*brushes off dust*

Wow, it has been donkey years since i've posted here. And i apologize! I've been asked many times why i'm not updating and what not - and well, it's as simple as work.

Due to work, i can't log in to blogspot without complications - in fact, if i want to log in here, i'd have to open up safari and what not just to post something. And, me being me... i'm a big pile of lazy.

Plus, whenever i blog, i feel guilty because i should be doing work instead.

But, fear not! If you like watching me go through different spamming moments - i will be starting to post on my tumblr more. At first i left my tumblr as my inspiration hub, but i thought - why not add everything in one.

So, head over to my TUMBLR and get a dose of what i'm going through. Short rants, inspiration... all dumped in one.

Or.. head over to www.lipstiq.com to read up on my actual work work.. (yes, i'm promoting myself and my work... got a problem?)

Thank you everyone for keeping it real to this blog - and who knows... i might be back? Eventually.

A Messy Month!

It has literally been a month since i actually posted something here, and i am terribly sorry.
To pay back, here's a bullet of what has been happening during the month of June. It has been a whirlwind of hectic and fun things.

• First complete month at my new job
• I absolutely love it. The people, the work, everything is awesome.
• It's been hard to juggle and deal with... but it's a good challenge
• I've met new people, fun people and interesting people.
• Went on my first ever shopping spree with my own money - feelin' so achieved!
• I'm suppose to continue my shopping spree today.
• Every minute i spend here, i think about the amount of work i could be doing.. so there's guilt.
• To avoid that guilt, i'm going to go off now!

I promise i'll post pictures and what not when (and if) i have the free time! Heeh. 

Bullet-them-thoughts

• I've officially moved myself to KL.
• I'm getting used to the city life - it's not as bad as people have perceived it to be.
• I'm done with my internship at MSN Life & Style
• I start a new adventure in the working world tomorrow - i am so excited, scared and grateful.
• Being in KL for the past 4 months has taught me so many new things - and i've discovered more about myself then i knew before
• Being home with family is one of the best parts of moving back to KL.
• I'm officially hooked on whiskey. (on the rocks)
• I need to go on a shopping spree soon. 
• I'm attempting to go back on my healthy eating regime - i've gained so much weight. 
• I need to start using my camera more often - i tend to miss out on good photo opportunities. Need to make it a habit!
• I need a hair cut - and also i need to get my eyebrows threaded.

We're already half way through the year - can you believe that? This year has zoomed right passed, and there are no regrets, just really great lessons! I'm excited for the next half of the year, are you?

Let's make it good, June!

MAY Photolog

MAY

A couple of shots from my phone which pretty much describes how most of April/May went.
I'm done with my internship at MSN Life & Style, and now it's off to a new adventure! I am so grateful and excited.

Welcoming June with open arms - we are half way through the year.

LIFE BEGINS RIGHT NOW.

Ten Times Rosie by RANKIN

ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY has become the focus of a new photography book shot by esteemed photographer Rankin. Ten Times Rosie showcases the designs of Paula Thomas, founder and head designer of the luxury label Thomas Wylde. (source)

I found this photo spread by RANKIN, and i just fell in love with these photos. Something so luring about these. And it definitely takes the Victoria Secret angel label off Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I honestly love seeing a model in a raw photograph. Rather then stutting on the catwalk.

Birthday outfit.

So before i actually post about the awesome birthday celebration i had - i'm gonna start off with a little outfit i wore, just to give myself a treat. Everyone knows i'm the type that's always comfortable in shorts, a top and flip-flop - and yes, people keep asking me to change my look, but naaaa, it's my look. And it leaves me to dress up on special occasions. So, on my birthday, i decided to wear a new dress i bought a few weeks before. 

The night before, little miss Bash Nash, gave me that necklace and bracelet as a birthday gift, perfect to the addition to the outfit! Feathers, red and gold leaves... my absolute favorite things to combine. She knows me well!

As per usual, i still found a way to wear flip flops - Ipanema are awesome because they make comfy and pretty sandals. I think everyone should get them.

Sorry for the blur photos - this photo was a little quick snap before heading out for work, because i knew that i'd come back too tired to be vain, so might aswell take it when it can! Also, i can't seem to figure out how those blogging fashionistas get such nice shots ALL the time... tips anyone? hehe

Birthday update will be up shortly! Let me tumble for awhile... cheers!

Fashion Favorites

Here are three things that are on my current wish list - and also my current fashion favorites. Well, clothes wise. Accessories are another thing on it's own.

One Thing (by Patricia Prieto)

From Tumblr

1. Low-high skirts - I am still in search of the perfect one! I have a few, but they just don't fit right. I love how this skirt just flows... it's a more 'natural' way of feeling like a princess, especially when you are walking down stairs. (Don't deny it, i know at one point, everyone girl walks down the stairs thinking they are Cinderella for a moment)

2. ZARA Heels - Yes, these Zara heels. I spotted them when i was circling around ZARA for fun and it was love a first sight. Unfortunately, i find it difficult to walk in strapped heels. But i wouldn't mind giving it a go. Naina from SidewalkCatwalks makes these heels look extra kick ass! (Check out her blog for more some really good looks - i love her style - i'm jealous of all the pretty clothes she owns!)

3. Ombré tights - I saw these just last week while flipping through Tumblr - and it caught me. I love them. Though, i know they'll look different in real life - rather then in pictures. But, don't the make you melt? Then can be found HERE - i'm tempted to get myself a pair!

4. Peplum Skirts - this trend has been slowly escalating, and it's growing on me. I think it's pretty chic and fancy but at the same time something that can be worn every day. Though, i think peplums are hard to wear depending on every individuals size, it may look different. I would've mind trying something like the dress on the right. Pretty, yes?


Sometime this year, this wish-list will be in my closet, that is for sure! In the mean time, it's time to save up and spend on the right things!

That's all for now, it took me TWO days to write this post - that is how lazy i've gotten. And sleep deprived, thanks to the night time insomnia.  MORE SOON!

Thank you guys for reading and commenting - every comment/message makes my day! Stay pretty, stay fresh and stay positive - Have a good thursday!

A John Mayer related post.

Ladies and Gentle, the amazing John Mayer is back! 

As you may already know - i am a John Mayer psychopath. No really, i should probably get tested for this obsession i have towards him and his music, it's unhealthy. Then again, i think it's pretty healthy.

Technically, John Mayer's new album gets out on the 22nd of May (i'm still pretty excited to run into the stores and get myself a CD!) None the less, it was announced a couple days ago that his album will be streaming for FREE on iTunes - obviously, i tried to stream it, but it didn't work. And the internet being the internet - the album was downloadable, and well, that's what i did.


All i can say is;


This was me the moment i saw it was downloadable. And then waiting for a whole 2 minutes for it to download.




This was me loading the files into iTunes..



And then it was loaded...... and i was about the click play.




Then the moment i played the first song - i was like this on the inside (i was in the office at this time)




Yeap, i'm a pretty happy kid right now. A review for the album will probably be one of the next posts i put up, but for now, i just need to enjoy the music. It has been TWO years since John Mayer took his 'break' and it is about time he is back.

During the whole event of what today was - i was in the office, so doing my 'happy dance' wasn't possible, but the plus side of being in the office is that i'm not the only one who loves some Mayer music!

PS. Even if i'm not really legally downloading his album, I am still buying his album - i support him and his music, and if you do to, go grab his CD! Out 22nd of May!

Til next time, i'm off to do my happy dance!

Verdict of his album coming up soon - if you've heard it already - tell me what you think!

Food for thought - Hello May.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Unfortunately with tumblr, you can't get the origins of these photos.

Look back and think about the things that you said you'd do but never got to, and use this month to do it! Make it new, make it fresh!

It's a new month, a new view!

Pirate and Zombie Yoga Positions

Pirate and Zombie Yoga Positions by Rob Osborne

Artist: website / tumblr

Going through tumblr, and i came across this. I just had to share it. The positions are spot on, but the illustrations just top it off with such creativity! Do check out the artists website + tumblr!

Time to do some zombie pirate yoga! WARRIOR TWO!

Two girls + a fashion event.

Fashion, wine and good company. It was a good night indeed. 

We enjoyed white wine. Which is something that i have grown to love, and can't get enough of!

Amber Chia doing her thing - and despite how fierce she looks - she is an absolute doll! Met her a couple of times, and she is uber humble. It's hard to find models who aren't so stuck up in the arse after fame.

Nash's soft hair man! 

Our outfits for the night. 

Nash is wearing a amazing mix of pastels from Zara, and i am wearing cut-off jean shorts, and a jacket from Cotton On.

I am in LOVE with my new shoes - i've been searching for this pair for months! And getting them on a bargain, there is soooo much satisfaction! Though i'm still recovering from the blisters these babies gave me, it was all worth it!

That's all for now! It's been a busy week, and i can't post up too often!

More soon! xoxo

Today, i ran.

This entire week i have been like this;

And i would come home after work, and think about how i should get off my ass and workout;



It's been 3 months nearly since i worked out properly - so today i decided it was time. So i went the park and i did my thing. (Though, my Patrick was missing - she'll be there tomorrow)



I was all like, "You can go haaaard or you can go hooooome" ... But then after an 15minutes - i was pretty much like this.




But i pulled through! Yeeeeey!



So, take that procrastination and lazyness! Booooooyaaaaah!






Let's hope this keeps up - going for another run tomorrow - and for the rest of the week as well!

Yeah - that is all for now. I just had to post up these GIFs. So funny.

Have a good Saturday ya'll!

pass the drink

I need a drink. Baileys, a glass of wine, even a good tequila shot. It has been one hell of a week. But i've enjoyed it. I'm just mentally exhausted.
A little annoyed and fed up with a couple of things, but nothing that can't be handled. I just need some R&R, and i'll be back on track.

Preparing my workout playlist - it's really time to get back on my running. I am soooo out of shape, i need to push myself.

Despite this mood-swing, i'm hoping for a good weekend - so letz do thiz!

A little birthday celebration

10th April was a day to celebrate! Bill turned 23 - with a cozy dinner and drinks, it was a simple and fun evening. I would love every weekend to be like this. Good food, good people, good wine. 

Happy Birthday, babe! And a special thanks to Bash Nash and Yasin for us make his birthday a lil' bit more special then an ordinary day! 

The food at Ben's General Food Store is AMAZING - We ordered like there was tomorrow, getting a taste of nearly everything on the menu - there was no regret!

After dinner we moved on to a bar on the Bangsar strip.. i am horrible at remembering names nowadays - but it was a chilled place with Norah Jones playing in the background - wine, whiskey, vodka, and shirley temple on the table. BLISS!

Unfortunately not that many photos were taken - but i guess it's cause we're just having a good time and basking in the moment!

Need to do this more often!
