25 random questions TAG

i feel like blogging. yeay!!! lol
anyways, i saw the video called "25 random questions tag" across youtube today. i think its been there for quite a while now. but here are some of the tag videos from another gurus









i saw the questions and i thought they were pretty interesting. i really want to film the tag but i don;t feel like it. so i decided to post the tag on my blog! :D
anyone who wants to do this tag on their blog or youtube are very welcome so here we go. ready?!



1. Do you have any pets?

well honestly, idk if this counts but i have this pond in my house with quite loads of fishes in it, and my family& i have had them since like 5 years ago? theyre really big now. anyways, idk if that counts because i think pets are just animals that you take care of and you know, you can pet them, sleep with them, etc. obviously you can't sleep with your fishes can you?
other thing, there's this little kitty kat, he's actually not ours, but he was just a wild random cat, and he passes by my house and my lil sister feed him one time. he continues coming back and forth since then. sometimes i feed him/ play with him, so does my brothers and other family member. but we never even let him go inside the house, leave alone let him sleep with us. so, he's not really our pet i guess? but my brother did named him Jasper. :)



2. Name 3 things that are physically close to you.

i have my phone, my wallet and my Shea lip butter from the body shop which i've been obsessed with lately



3. What's the weather like right now?

4. Do you drive? If so have you crashed?

i can drive but i actually drive only around like my house complex.. because i can't convince my self to drive out the public way yet.. so i've never crash, thank god, and i hope i'll never crash!

8. What does your last text message say?

9. What's your ringtone?

it's the reff part of Gwen Stefani's song called Rich Girl. and honestly, i set that as my ringtone because i'm ever-so obsessed with the movie Confession of a Shopaholic, its my fave chick flick movie other than mean girls. and rebecca bloomwood, the main character. had that song as her ringtone in the movie. so here i am with the same one! haha!



10. Have you ever been to a different country?

yes yes yes :) mostly asian countries because you know, they are close. i've been to Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China& Japan. i've also been to the States once. it was amazing but i only get to visit the east coast. defo looking forward to step my feet on the west coast! :)

16. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?

18!! omg i'll finally be legal! well for most people in my country, they kinda have the big celebration when they turn 17, because for them, it is when they get legal. but honestly, i think the real legal age is 18.. maybe the people in my country think so because we got our national legal id when we turn 17.. :/




17. Do you wear contacts or glasses?

None :D sometimes i do wear colored contacts for fun, tho..



18. Do you color your hair?

nope

quickie update

hey guys!! ok first of all, let me just apologize cause i've been seriously slacking on posts. i don't have any excuses tho, mainly because i;ve been more on tumblr and twitter instead this, and of course, on youtube. so make sure u follow me on tumblr or twitter if you'd like.
anyways, i just wanna give you guys here some updates..

first of, if you guys didn;t know, i've invested in a better HD camera. pretty cool, yea? :) it is the Sony HDR-XR150. it's a great camera, it's HD, it auto-focuses and all that good stuff. here's my latest videos:






it's a couple parts of haul videos. be sure to check it out if you haven;t already!
yaa so thats about my new HD camera, i actually got it around a month ago. so i have few videos with it already. i really really really do love it!


next thing is that school has started again, probably you guys didn't know that i had 2 and a half months of break. like mid-semester break. it was pretty lonnnngg, i mean, at least i've never had a break that long before. so when i go back to school, it kinda awkaward feeling. LOL. but anyways, i started a new semester and my schedule now is pretty thight. thats why i haven't been uploadig videos as much as i did when i'm still on break. most of the times when i got home, the sun would gone already, so i can't film anything cuz i can never have a nice lighting at night time! but i;m trying to figure out a way to film at night time. obviously trying to find a good lighting and setup. cross your fingers! :)
anyways, i feel like this semester is way busier than my previous one, i;ll always come home with a bunch of school works to do. boo no fun.
which leads this post into my sleeping problems. my sleeping time schedule has been ruined during the break. i'd literally go to sleep at 4 am in the morning which absolutely is not healthy.
of course, when the school started i need to make my self get used to waking up uber early. considering i have quite some morning classes and my house is like 1-2 hours away from my school!
by then, if i wanna get up freshly in the morning, i can't go to sleep uber late. my sleeping schedule is getting better ryt now. i usually will go to sleep around 12-1am. it is still late but at least its better than before. i really wanna go to sleep way early like 10pm ish. but i just can;t because i have TONS of stuff to do. i think its just the way it is, like, 10pm isnt my sleeping time zone anymore..
i've been once told that thats just what college gives you. sleepless nights. just because you have a lot of things to do in such little time given.
but anyways, im not in college at all. i am in a foundation level which if u guys didnt know is like a pre-university level. which is provided for those students whos planning to study abroad, outta the country. in this foundation level, we are having pretty much similar subjects w hi skool, but, its being equated to the particular country's standard. i hope you get me in this point..

anywaysss its 12.14 am ryt now. time for me to hit the bed. so heres the end of my quickie update, dont forget to subbbb me on youtube :) loveeeyou guys!

behind a simple sentence, there's a long never-ending story.

Hello whoever you are.. i just want to say hello because i know you're reading this now.
(oh please, i can't think of any "proper" introduction?! i'm a sucker for openings really.. oh well :--) )

Okay, thing is, i want to talk about one of the question from the TAG video called "My Make Up Story" which actually was my previous post before this one. yes, in this blog. all you need to do is scroll down.
so that particular question says:

"What does makeup means to you?"

if you watched my video already, you'll know that i answered that makeup is my passion. and that's the truth. forever and always (prolly. i mean, we don't know what will happen in the near future do we?! okay, don't take this too far)
i was a bit confused to answer that question. because i actually have another answer. but i know that i can talk about this other answer FOREVER and of course, youtube only give me 10 minutes for my videos. so i figured out, why not make a blog post about it?!

so here it goes....

it's more or less, about something behind my passion in makeup, i would say.
straight up, makeup is a part of ART. not only for me but i think everyone knows about it.
i've heard a lot of people saying that putting on makeup, is just like painting. but instead of making it on a canvas, you apply them to your face, or other's faces. and it makes total sense. that's why we have brushes and pallettes in our makeup collection or train case or what so ever.

when i read the question i mentioned above, i had a little flashback throughout the years. since i was a little kid, until this time. and i realized that i've always been sticking with anything related to art matters. i never realized that until that moment the flashback came.

i can't really remember anything back when i was in kindergarden. the thing that i strongly remember is that we always have assembly every year. like at the end of the academic year. and i would be placed in a group with dancing performances. traditional dance, or any kind of random dances..
during the elementary level (1st grade - 6th grade), well honestly i can't remember exactly every single year. but i do remember that i joined Theatre club kind of, well it's more like extra course-ish. we also still have assembly each and every the ending of the academic year. for me, chances are performing in a play, or, contribute in dancing performances.
also, in the same period, i took ballet class aside from school, isn't that the sweetest thing?! i mean, pink tutu, pink ballet flats with beautiful satin ribbon wrapped my legs beautifully. awhhh (or, maybe not). i also took Piano courses aside from school. i had quite a lot of things back then. sigh*
both the ballet and piano courses, are placed near my house. but then, one day, my family and i are moving out to another area. so i HAD to stop the courses, without knowing, would i be able to continue them or not..
then when i entered middle school, i found out that my middle school don't have theatre or dance extra courses (we call them extra curricular, fyi). so i had to join other thing.
somewhere during my middle school period, i took painting class out of the school. for approximately a year i would say. but then i stopped because i had things going on.
in middle school, i guess i was concentrating more in academic matters. so i couldn't reach anything aside from school. but guess what, that really short period of time i had for painting class, was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. i never knew that i would enjoy painting so much. i have my paintings hanging on my wall now, and i feel kinda proud of it. just something that i never even thinking about doing before.
i never continue my painting courses since then. but truthfully, i still want to take painting classes so bad. and since it's holiday now, i'm planning on taking them. i hope i can make it (:
well anyways, after that, of course, i entered my 10th year which is the first year of high school.
if you guys don't know, i didn't finish my high school. after i finish my 11th year, i move out to take pre-university program. it is required for the study that i'm planning to take.
of course, i had ONLY 2 years of high school.
my high school have extra courses, aside from academic subjects. they have movie club, soccer club, boxing, dance, games, and a bunch more.. and i decided to take the dance club. but the club didn't actively practice or gather or perform, for some reason. each of us had a whole bunch of school stuff to do.
we did some performances in some school events.. about couple of times.
i also took theatre class in high school, which kinda "automatically" make me a part of the theatre club. i had 2 performances. both were amazing.
i had a blogpost here about my theatre performance. that was my bigger one. i also have some pictures so you can check that out.
since i am no longer go to high school, sure i'm no longer active in those lovely clubs. what kind of art i'm doing now? i FINALLY take a piano course again :) i've always wanted to be a MAJOR piano player. i love playing them, i love how they sounds. so yeah. and im glad i've took the basic lesson earlier. so now i can learn it way easier.. just like they say, it's always easier to learn when you're younger..
and, of course, the other art that i'm sticking with now is MAKE UP :) i've always have passion in art, easily, makeup becomes one of my passion because it is art.
there's soooo much more things i want to talk about here. but again, it'll take FOREVER for me to share with you my art journey. ROFL
but, long story short.. dances, acting, painting, and music, they've become a part of what i am now. including my passion. in make up..

but anyhow, makeup, dance, painting, music, piano, acting.. are only SOME part of art, there's A WHOLE BUNCH more art stuff out there. if you notice, most of the things i mentioned, are performing arts. which requires stage, audience, lighting, and stuff. but actually the thing i'm doing right now, which is writing my blog post, is also a part of art.

seriously tho, i think i need to stop here before i start a whole new topic about journalism, art, writing............ well okay, i wish you a very wonderful joy after you read this.

loves.

Mid-November already?!

Can you actually believe it? it's mid-november already. christmas is really near, so for those of you who celebrates christmas, happy early xmas! me, myself don't celebrate it because i'm a moslem. But just seeing the excitement all around youtube, dailybooth, tumblr and stuff, makes me kinda happy.
there's nothing really "special" here around christmas, not in a bad way i mean. it's just because there's no snow pouring down, no winter, no fall, so there won't be any special "winter break" and what not. also, the majority of the citizens here are moslems. so yeah.
anyways, it's always fun to look at the holiday collections from companies, and people's hauls about their holiday shopping. really tempting!
but i am having a looong looong holiday right now. it started about a week ago, when i finished my exam. and i'll be back to school on January 31st! i mean, dude, that's a long time.. what am i gonna do?!
at this point of time, i fill my holiday just with working out at the gym, go for treatments, dermatologist, go out and hang out with friends....... *yawn*

but, not only christmas, holiday and stuff, 2011 is also near ahead us. in a month and a half, there's gonna be new year's eve. and time is flying like crazily fast! i still can feel the up and downs back in 2009, and now 2010 is almost over?!
like always, there's always the ups and downs through out the year. basically, there's a whole bunch of lessons i learned in 2010. i also turned 17. but i think i'm ready to leave this year and move to a whole new clean sheet of life.
i just can't wait to make my resolutions for next year (which i will post AND make a resolution VLOG!)

after all, i cherish everything that happened in 2010. i know that later on, i can always look back through 2010 and just smile.
i hope you had a very great experiences through 2010 and excited for 2011!

catch ya later!
