BOOK BITES FT. CONFESS

RATING : 5/5

PLOT

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.

At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.

BOOKBITES FT. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

RATING: 4/5

PLOT:

Hazel Grace Lancaster—a 16-year-old with cancer that has spread to her lungs—attends a cancer patient support group at her mother's behest. At first, she hesitates because she feels like it has done her nothing. She thinks attending the support group could be the worst part of her life, until a particular support meeting, Hazel meets a 17-year-old boy named Augustus Waters, whose osteosarcoma caused him to lose his right leg, which was replaced with a prosthetic. Augustus is at the support meeting to support, Isaac, a boy Augustus' age with eye cancer. Upon catching Augustus staring at her, Hazel suddenly feels self-conscious. They meet after the Support Group and converse on the fact that they were not "literally" in the heart of Jesus, but in a basement. When everything seems to go well, Augustus pulls out a cigarette and puts it between his lips. Hazel is disgusted by this and yells at him saying that he's already got cancer and he wants to pay money for more cancer, "Not being able to breathe sucks," she yells. Augustus calmly explains the metaphor, which is, "You put the thing that kills you right between your teeth but you don't give it the power to kill you." Hazel, impressed by this, goes to his place to watch a movie. Hazel and Augustus strike a bond immediately and agree to read each other's favorite novels. Augustus gives Hazel The Price of Dawn, and Hazel recommends An Imperial Affliction, a novel written by Peter Van Houten, who lives in Amsterdam, about a cancer-stricken girl named Anna that parallels Hazel's own experience. After Augustus finishes reading her book, he is frustrated upon learning that the novel ends abruptly without a conclusion. Hazel explains the novel's author had retreated following the novel's publication and has not been heard from since.

A week later, Augustus reveals to Hazel that he has tracked down Van Houten's assistant, Lidewij, and, through her, has managed to start an e-mail correspondence with Van Houten. The two write to Van Houten with questions regarding the novel's ending and the fate of the mother of Anna. Van Houten eventually replies, explaining that he can only answer Hazel's questions in person. At a picnic, Augustus surprises Hazel with tickets to Amsterdam to meet Van Houten.

While in Amsterdam, Augustus confesses his love for Hazel. Hazel and Augustus finally meet Van Houten but are shocked to find that he is a mean-spirited drunk. Horrified by Van Houten's behavior, Lidewij confesses to having arranged the meeting on his behalf, angering Van Houten, who proceeds to insult Hazel's cancer, starting an argument and causing Hazel and Augustus to flee from the drunken author's home.

Augustus confesses that his cancer has returned. The two affirm their love and support for each other. Upon their return to Indianapolis, Augustus's health worsens and he ends up in the ICU for a few days. Fearing his death, Augustus invites Isaac and Hazel to his pre-funeral, where they give eulogies. An extremely sick Augustus dies soon after. This leaves Hazel heartbroken and she doesn't know what to do with herself. After this traumatic event, Van Houten shows up at Augustus's funeral to apologize to Hazel.

Hazel learns that Augustus was writing a sequel to An Imperial Affliction. Hazel reads Augustus's words. He says getting hurt in this world is inevitable, but we do get to choose whom we allow to hurt us, and that he is happy with his choice, and hopes she likes her choice too. The book closes with Hazel stating that she is happy with her choice.

Skin care routine

I don’t have the flawless looking skin, I always struggle with acne which is why I have this tiny bumps and darkspots, I also struggle with white and blackheads but I and all I want is a healthy looking skin, and I just wanted to share with you guys which products works for me and the products that somehow helped me control my acne.

Skin Type: Oily – Acne prone skin

Step One: I wash my face with a cleanser

I use the Cosrx Salicylic Daily Gentle Cleanser. It contains a 0.5% of Salicylic Acid which is good for the skin and I love that my face feel so plump and hydrated after I used this cleanser unlike other cleansers that stripped away the moisture of my skin and leave my skin so dry.

Step Two: I used Toner to prep my skin

To Prep my skin, I used the Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner.This has been my holy grail skin care product. I love how it helps me control my acne and it’s very gentle on my skin too! There’s no harsh smell and no tingling sensation when I pat it on my face.

Step Three: I target my problem areas with an Ampule

I use Elujai Propolis Myhrr Ampule for almost a month now and I can say that I helped a lot to brighten up my face and somehow lighten my blemishes, I also like how it leaves my skin plump and moisturized after I applied it on my face.

Step Four: Keep your Skin dehydrated

The face Shop 99% Jeju Aloe Fresh Soothing Gel is my cheap and affordable way to moisturize my skin, The downside is it takes time to blend it well to my face, but overall I love how it can be used not only for my skin but also in my body that has dry patches.

Step Five: ( During Morning only ) Protect your skin with a Sunscreen!

I just recently used sunscreen, because It’s difficult for me to find a sunscreen that would fit for my skin and only Biore UV Perfect Milk matched my skin type. I love how it also acts as a primer as well and how it made my skin look healthy and glowing.

That is all my Skincare Routine, How about you? What are the products you use to achieve that healthy, glowing skin?

Life Lately ( March 2018: Week Three )

This past few weeks have been very tough for me,it made me realize the true value of friendship and hard work pays the sweetest price. In terms of decision making, it made me realize that you can’t have it all, there will always be time that you need to choose only one between the two things you have and try to make the most mature decision you can make and prioritize what’s more important. Up until now I still have doubts on myself and my capabilities, comparing myself to my other peers I am far way behind. I am trying to be the best that I can be but I always felt that my efforts are still not enough and you will always fail at the end. This week also marks our 4th year anniversary, time flies really fast and we’ve been so many up’s and downand I am glad to where our is relationship now, compare to the past years I think we mature a lot this year and made us realize many things, each day we learn new things and discover something about your partner.

Introspection: LIFE LESSONS AFTER TURNING EIGHTEEN

One. Live your life to the fullest

It’s so cliche to tell this but hey, life’s too short to be a scumbag. You’ll never know when will be your last day so appreciate everything you have especially the people around you. Live your life like it will be your last day, Show your love ones how much you love them even by saying “iloveyou” in the most random moment you have with them and do things you love, don’t mind what people would say just keep in mind that you live in this world not to please them but to live your life.

Two. Stay away from toxic people

You have to know when to hold on and when to let go, it is better to let go than stay and suffer in the long run.

Three. Give the best in everything you do

Opportunities knocks only once so better give your 100 percent even on the littlest thing you do.

Four. Treasure the ones that always stay

There will always be that one person that will be by your side through thick and thin. As a college student, there will be times that the inner bitch in you will come out , with the most haggard moment, the mood swings and frustrations, Keep someone who would still choose to be with you even though they witness the inner evil in you.

Five. Take Risks

Doing things especially something out of your comfort zone will made you skeptical on doing such things but darling remember not be afraid to fail, failures will make you a stronger individual and your future self will thank you for that.

Six. Try new things

You’ll never know something is good unless you have the guts to try it. Last year, I tried to be on our university publication and being there isn’t that easy, I muster my guts, confidence and courage to apply for almost two years! And Luckily I got accepted and realized that I found not just an organization to be with but a family.

Seven. Go on adventure

Experience is the best teacher. You will not learn to such things unless you try and experience how is it to be like. These trips will not just give you memories but also knowledge.

Eight. There are better things ahead

Failures are inevitable, there are things that may not go as you wish but try to think about that God has better plans ahead of you. When I enter the university, I didn’t passed on my first course choice so I am obliged to enroll onto something that I randomly choose but little did I know that this path is really for me and I am grateful that I did not qualify on my first choice because I now realize that numbers is really not for me.

Nine. Find your purpose

Upon writing this, I’ll admit that I am still on the process of finding my purpose but we’ll get there someday.
