The Strain Trilogy: Done Reading in Less than a Week!

Pardon my lack of post in my other blog. I was just busy... reading science fiction books!


Reading 3 thick books in less than 7 days is a record for me. I was having some The Strain withdrawal after the Season 1 ended, so here I am, binge-reading Del Toro's books!


After finishing the book earlier, I found myself staring at the ceiling just internalizing everything. Next thing I knew, I fell asleep! 


Let's just say I was sad because of what happen to the characters, and because I finished the book! Me want more!


I am working on a blog post and editing my older, published posts. Too many wrong comma placements and grammar problems! I cringed! But good thing is, the more I blog, the more my writing skills improved. Slowly but surely, right? I am getting there.

MARVEL and DC Kind of Night

What an ultra nerdy night!

First, I watched a series on FOX:

Then, I also watched:

I borrowed it from the library. Enjoyed it, immensely! 

11:32 PM now, time to go catch some Zzzzzz. It's way beyond my bedtime!

The Strain: First Season is Over :(

I'm completely hooked with the show, and I was sad that the first season was over, the last episode was shown last night. :(

I discovered this show by accident. One Sunday, I was watching Mission Impossible 3 on FX and they kept flashing The Strain, on how it's going to be the "premier" of the show that night, blah blah. When I heard that Guillermo del Toro is one of the writer of the book as well as the producer, I jumped up and down! I love Guillermo del Toro! 

So, Season 2 will be this 2015. A long wait,right? Well, at least Walking Dead Season 5 will start this Sunday! My Sunday night happiness is still on! Wohooo!

Science fiction fan here, if you noticed! 

Shiny 1 US Dollar Coins

I was loading  my metro/bus card when the machine spit out some shiny one dollar coins as my change. I got excited! It's rare for me to recieve or come across coins like these. A keeper!




Myyyyy Precioussssss

BREAKING OUT!

I have been breaking out like crazy!

When I was in my teens, I don't really have a problem with acne and pimples. Yes, I was fat, but my skin was clear.

Now that I am in my late 20s, pimples are starting to pop up. It gets out of control days before my period.

I tried switching to natural and organic beauty products to no avail, and I don't want to be trying a lot of skin care stuffs coz I don't want to be wasting my money over it. Once I buy a skin care, I don't usually buy another one up until I finish the one that I am currently using

I am currently using facial wash that has salicylic acid in it and a "natural" moisturizer I got from Trader Joe's. I feel like TJ's Enrich moisturizer is the one that's making me break out, but I feel bad going out and buying another moisturizer without really using it all up. Yah, I am cheap like that.

I am tempted to try out Clinique moisturizer. I heard it's good. I was thinking of splurging on skin care for once in my life. I'll wait for the sale before buying, though. Hopefully it'll work out.

And oh, I did try Argan Oil but again, natural and organic skin care don't seem to work on my skin. I am currently using the Argan Oil on my under eyes and my hair.

Oh, well! Having acne is not the end of the world, I guess!

 

 

A Day Spent on Reading

 

Saturday was spent curled up on my bed with a book on my hand. I must have slept close to 12 midnight last night. 

The book was good! It's rare for me to indulge on fiction books as I tend to lean towards non fiction books that deals with moolah.

Though I did my usual routine like jogging and dropping/picking up the books and documentaries to/from the library, majority of my day was spent just on my bed, reading something about a possibility of cannibalism, arsonist and mercury addiction.

It was a fun day!
