I Dream of a Blue Summer

February again and my birthday has just passed me by. I've just turned 27, a good number as any, last February 12 and decided to actually go shopping for myself with my beloved's help.

My first purchase was practical enough. I was looking for a new pore minimizer. My previous pore minimizer did an average job and I was willing to invest on something good. So I dropped by Rustans to have a look-see and found Estèe Lauder. Now I wanted to try Clarins but their staff wasn't exactly helpful. They were not rude, just passive and given my lack of knowledge in all things cosmetic (learned late in life) I went to the Estèe Lauder kiosk and was assisted by very helpful ladies who had no qualms actually putting stuff on my skin to let me see for myself the results, while explaining what it does, how to use it, when to use it.

Impressed at actually seeing visible results, I rang up Estèe Lauder's Idealist which cost me around Php 2,000 (double Clarin's price).

I'm not around three thousand bucks short, all thanks to my tendency to stress shop. If it's not shopping its eating. I knew it was a mistake when my mom on one of those rare moods asked to be brought to an all you can eat buffet. I'm not going to argue, if she wants to eat, she'll eat. I swear, my pigging out to see my mom eat more than one plate of food was worth it.

And rarer still was my mom insisting to go out and walk for a bit, and went into the Nike store. I found a few things I liked and bought them. A new gym bag and a nice wallet and also a blouse for my mom. ^_^ Over all it was a good way to spend lunch break.

On the SL side, I just finished another male outfit I made based from the outfit worn by Alphonse Elric in the Full Metal Alchemist movie. It took a while to make due to stress despite it being a simple looking outfit.

It comes included with the following: the black inner jacket (jacket form), outer jacket w/ black shirt underneath (shirt to puff up the sleeves), outer jacket w/o black shirt (in both shirt and jacket), black pants, white alchemist gloves, prim hoodie and a prim hood.

Rogue Alchemist: Red, Blue and Mustard.

And where oh god, where in SL do I have to look to find male skins with the same quality as the skins from Empyrean Emperioum? :(

I'm also hanging around qRO playing in the high rate server. It's nice to go back to RO occassionally and the high exp rating has given me oppurtunities to enjoy the game without having to invest all my time to it. It's a good diversion. If any of you are around qRO do give me a ring. I answer to the name Alayna and Maeyala. I have several other novices but I'm not using them yet.

I've begun playing Kingdom Hearts 2 and I can say it's an overall improvement of the previous KH game. It wasn't as boring for one, the story was better, not to mention the ridiculous amount of eye candy available in-game. And of course, everyone from the FF universe got an overhaul in their outfits. Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie are sporting their Advent Children look, Aeris and Squall (or Leon as he prefers to be called in the game) got a lot cuter and yummier and of course there's Sephiroth who just looks awesome in whatever outfit you put him in.

I recommend playing the game at the very least until you get to the fight in Hollow Bastion. The tag team play of Cloud and Squall is worth while seeing.
