Hi. If anyone's still here, I figured I'd take this opportunity to announce that I've migrated to WordPress/my own domain. Figured I'm pushing 30, it's about time, and I want a space where I can do the kind of writing I've always wanted to do. So yeah, see you there, I guess, and thanks for sticking around. <3
In bloom.
Notes from the Underground. London, 2012.
what I never learned from my mother was that just because someone desires you. does not mean they value you. desire is the kind of thing that eats you and leaves you starving.

Lauryn Hill, "Doo Wop (That Thing)"
Girls you know you better watch out Some guys, some guys are only about That thing, that thing, that thing
The incomparable Ms. Hill. We were listening to this album in the car on the way to the office yesterday. It is flawless.
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem.
Savage Garden, "To The Moon And Back"
She's taking her time making up the reasons To justify all the hurt inside Guess she knows by the smiles and the looks in their eyes Everyone's got a theory 'bout the bitter one
They're saying "Mama never loved her much" and "Daddy never keeps in touch" That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a barren place She packs a bag for outer space And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
Portishead, "Pedestal"
You abandoned me How I suffer Ridicule breathes a sigh You abandoned me Lost forever Hush, can you hear...
No time make or reason Ridicule breathes a sigh No time make or reason Hush, hear him cry...
Disclosure feat. London Grammar, "Help Me Lose My Mind"
Talk to me and watch me crumble You will see me come undone Faithfully I will look over There I'll find what you've become
Jealousy will be washed over Carefully we look on through Could it be easy to start over? Somehow I will bring you too
You help me lose my mind And you bring me something I can't define Help me lose my mind, make wonder What I felt before Keep biding my time, How much longer? Who've I been waiting for
I've been waiting waiting waiting
So Tony Stark is basically playing Tony Stark, yes?
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE. OMG I want a koala! ;___;
I was all set to wear a dramatic scarf over my head and face to cover up the aftermath of the chemical peel I got at Belo's Megamall branch yesterday, but to hell with it! I'm going to pile on the dark red lipstick and put my hair up like a pro.
If Samantha Jones can hack it, so can I. I look like I vacationed a little too close to the sun, so what? :)
When my aesthetician was brushing on the solution though, holy hell! In my head, I was all "I AM THE BLOOD OF THE DRAGON. FIRE CANNOT BURN THE DRAGON," but Christ, did it burn!
Hopefully, when this peel runs its course in the next five or so days, my skin will be closer to looking like it was before that crazy spell of stress-induced acne. :)
(The glycolic facial I did before the peel felt so good, by the way!)
When I get funny looks from people, I'm just going to pretend that they're overwhelmed by how pretty I am. CHAROT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. FEELINGERA MUCH? :))
I'm so very lucky that my job serves as the perfect excuse for owning way too much lipstick.
Current colors on the left (plus one in my office emergency makeup drawer), and a bunch of backups of colors which I consider to be part of my "permanent collection" (that list just keeps growing and growing and growing) on the right. Hey, I don't want to finish a tube without a fresh one to replace it! Haha.
There are several new lipsticks that I haven't put up here yet, some I bought myself, some were gifts. Maybe I should make one huge post soon. :)
I've managed to put together a pretty solid range of reds (there are a few more I want, though, believe it or not) and an even better range of wild shades from coral to orange to fuchsia to violet. Now I want to build up my neutrals. Dark nudes, natural browns, "boring" colors.
I picked up MAC Mocha today while I was out sourcing products for my pages. It's a great my lips but better shade, and I have a sinking feeling it's going to be on the Permanent list. And I also picked up a backup bottle of Chanel Particulière. (If you're the kind of person who's willing to drop some major coin on quality lacquer like yours truly, the Rustan's Shangri La Chanel counter has Particulière and Paradoxal in stock again!)
Wow, I need to get another one of those compartmented Muji box things. I'm trying to arrange by color family but they just don't fit anymore!
And in before any haterade or "OMG starving children all over the world and you buy cosmetics" shaming: I work as a beauty editor. I'm paid to blather on about makeup. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER.

Yes. Those babies are lying on concrete.
Yes. That bottle is empty.
Yes. Those are mosquitoes & flies swarming their little bodies.
Yes. This is the condition of Pakistan, at the moment.
A couple of weeks have gone by since the floods in Pakistan have flowed and the number of people effected by this are staggering & record breaking.
Over 20 MILLION PEOPLE.
That is MORE THAN THE COMBINED TOTAL of the 2004 Tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the American Katrina disaster.
How many of you knew about this? It’s a shame at the extreme lack of coverage on this horrific disaster. Pakistan is getting MINIMAL help.
Ignorance never ends, a recent poll was taken in America on whether if they would donate or have donated to Pakistan or not. 67% DO NOT wish or want to help Pakistan. 67%.
And as for the donations that are being sent… 60% of aid needed now, has not been delivered. Who has them & why haven’t they reached the public?
I was born in Karachi, Pakistan. My city is located in the south region of Pakistan (Sindh province). I can not fathom the words….The amount of hurt I am feeling.
No one is helping.
I try to blog about it daily…only getting a few notes or so..I post a picture of myself and in come the notes and comments. What I’m trying to say is, Please…take note of this. These people are innocent and now they are homeless and sick. Children are dying quickly due to the lack of care. People have drowned, crops are ruined..animals are dead, & homes are gone. It is being speculated that my city will eventually drown since it’s already low. The floods haven’t hurt my region yet but they have affected my friends & families home and so many other innocent people.
This picture breaks my heart..I want you all to look at this picture. What do you see?
Do you see terrorists? Do you see future killers? Do you see another plot against America? Do you see that in those mosquitoes that can possibly and most likely have left diseases such as malaria? Do you see harm in that empty bottle?
Extremists are the ones to blame, not Muslims. Why should we be left hopeless? We didn’t do anything.
And as for the Qu’ran burning this weekend in Florida, I believe….
The thought of that night makes me cry. Do you all understand the severity and ignorance of that act? Why isn’t anyone stopping them? My religion, my faith didn’t hurt you. EXTREMISTS DID. They are NOT religious. My faith is NOT a cult.
I don’t know what to do. I honestly don’t know. I’ve never felt this helpless. No one is helping, no one cares. Fuck neither do my own best friends know much about this.
Just look at this picture and think about what you’ve just read.
Help. Please.
If you can…I’m not asking for a shitload of cash. But please, try to donate. Donating to UNICEF will send aid to children. Donate to the Red Cross & the UN Foundation. I trust the most in these three foundations, they’ve actually managed to send and successfully help the victims.Â
One-fifth of the country is under water; 20 million+ people are homeless. All I ask is for you to help a little and spread awareness.
I know most of my followers are teenagers who probably can't donate, or fresh grads who also can't donate, but I'm reblogging this because (like its author said) awareness is important, and that's the least I can do.
Words of wisdom from the ever eloquent ratmanprimate, in response to this post.
I always had a nagging little feeling that "pretty" wasn't going to necessarily be "beautiful." "Beautiful" is kind of untouchable. It's a little distant. It's in the realm of fantasy, and it's pretty unattainable. "Pretty" feels a little more real. It's a loveliness that's within your grasp, and it isn't any less gorgeous.
You're all really pretty. <3

I was going to get a Mong shot to boost my Tumblarity, then I remembered that I'm not the one who cares about Tumblarity. Sorry, guys! Haha!
