How good is this love

Love.

I imagined it not to be like that. Neither is it how I am practising it. Its such a grand word I'm sure not everyone can carry it upon their shoulders. Huge responsibility.

What kind of lover are you?

I'm the sacrificing kind. I'm the kind who would put away everything just to be with you. Now here, is where we don't match. You're not like me.

I wish you were.

Crizal's here to save the day!

Did you know that picking out right lens is just as important as picking out a pair of pretty frames? I never knew until I was given the opportunity to experiment.

I recently took part in an online contest held by Catalog Magazine via Facebook and won myself a free eye test, lens and frames fully provided by Crizal lens. Truth be told, the experience was truly amazing and it made me realize how good lenses can change your vision.

I personally own 3 pairs of glasses and none of them fit me nicely and after some time I stopped wearing them. (HAHA and I managed to fool everyone thinking I've perfect eyesight which is so not true because I always miss the right bus because I can't see shit. I also take a long time standing in the queue ordering food off their big menu on the wall with tiny words. Wtf can see lor? But sorry to those whom I've caused any inconvenience!!) So over time, needless to say my degree got worse. So I was very excited to pick out a new pair of glasses for freeeeee!

I met Daen from Vibes Communications where he sat me down and explained to me what's Crizal lenses all about. He walked me through a couple of experiments where I can clearly see why Crizal lenses are great and different from all the poor quality ones.

So tell me, what are the problems you faced using normal lens? There are the top 5 problems:

1. Reflections
2. Scratches
   
3. Smudges
   
4. Water
   
5. Dust
   

What is so amazing about Crizal lenses is that they target all these 5 problems all in one. You can now have great vision and combat all 5 of these enemies!

SAY NO TO REFLECTIONS:

Crizal lens reduce glare from your surroundings to reduce eyestrain and fatigue for optimal comfort of vision. Reflections on your lens will also be minimized to enhance lens aesthetics. If you happen to love being under the sun a lot, this is great for you because you do not need to worry about not being about to see well under glaring sunlight. And this does not apply only in the day. If you love going for night cycling, it is helpful too!

SAY NO TO SCRATCHES:

Crizal lens are made of tough materials to reduce scratches from daily wear. Hello, if you're just as chor lor as I am, please use Crizal! HAHA. (Sounds super boot licking but I'm really not lying.) Ok let's be serious, sometimes I don't EVEN know where I got those scratches from on my glasses or watches because accidents happen everyday at anytime of the day. You can't minimize it unless you don't go out lor. *roll eyes*

SAY NO TO SMUDGES:

Crizal lens are also made of easy-to-clean lens ensures that smudges and fingerprints do not hinder transparency of the lens. Do you get easily annoyed when no matter how hard to try to clean off fingerprints from your lenses and it just doesn't seem very clean after wiping? Say no more, you've found your solution. :D

SAY NO TO WATER:

Here's the beauty of Crizal lenses: you can wear them and play WATER SPORTS. With unique water repellent feature, water droplets rapidly slide off the lens surface without leaving any trace. There are just people who don't like the idea of contact lenses but yet love playing water sports. Now you can have the best of both worlds!

SAY NO TO DUST:

Let's take 1 experiment Daen showed me which I'm super amazed:

Take a look at this styrofoam ball experiment Daen showed me. These tiny balls represent dirt particles/dust in the air and it is inevitable to have them collected on your glasses anywhere you go (at home/work/partying/out in the sun), everywhere! Take a close look - when we shook the box, I realized that there are LESS dirt collected on Crizal lenses as oppose to a normal one. You cannot eliminate dust completely unless you live in outer space but what Crizal lens can do for you is reduce attraction of dust particles even after cleaning with its Anti-static lens.

After the demo, I proceed to have my eye test!

We were done in about 15 minutes or so and here comes my favorite part: PICKING OUT A PAIR OF FRAMES OF MY CHOICE. *swoons* There were so many to choose from. I was spoilt for choice. Eventually I picked out one a pair of black frames with green interior.

It was a great experience to know of such a wonderful product and you know what? I'm a convert. It's my 2nd week wearing my new pair of glasses with Crizal lenses now and it's been perfect. It's comfortable and it really helps to combat all 5 of those problems we face. I'd recommend Crizal lens to all my friends and family. In fact, I convinced my dad to change his to Crizal lenses too! It feels awesome to live life in the clear.

Thank you Crizal, Catalog Magazine and Vibes Communication for giving me this opportunity. I had a lot of fun. :)

Star of the Week - Emma Watsons

I used to not know why I never really liked Emma Watsons. I know she's THE Hermoine. The hair, the face, the body and the voice screams star quality by all of you Harry Potter Fans.

But... today I finally knew why she was never on the top of my list though I do agree she's gorgeous.

... It's the hair.

I know she's almost everyone's favourite as THE Hermoine. I agree she's cute.. but nay... Emma Watsons just never quite did it for me. I hate the fact that almost every female star fell in that stereotype circle of having long hair only because it made her look hot, sexy, cute or feminine. And cutting their hair is like A HUGEEEEE DEAL to female stars who are not brave enough to take the leap or simply just don't look good in it. It came as a surprise to me that Hermoine was one of those girls who could pull of both.

She's got the Twiggy thing going on *mad love*

You like? I LOVE IT. I agree it's kind of a huge step for her to take because it might turn away male fans but I think Emma Watsons is at a stage where she's almost a woman and ready to take on different roles that could significantly change her life and strip her off "Hermoine" and be Emma Watsons. And I think that's extremely hot.

We were always just that close

This song reminded me of you.
Sometimes you make me feel so weak.




I'm not in any position to give any advice, but there's one thing I know - In every relationship, you must communicate. Not just with words but with actions from the heart. You may be sleeping with the same person on the same bed every night but if you heart's not there for embrace, it's never gonna be there no matter how many nights you wait.

This is just one of the songs I like from Rihanna's latest album "Loud". Maybe I'll review it some time but tonight I just want to cave in.

On a side note, I'm really lusting for a pair of Dr. Martens.

Artist of the Week: Jessie J

Don't know if she's for everybody.. but she's kinda like a hybrid of Katy and Lady Gaga in terms of looks and style but with Beyonce's Gangsta attitude. I quite dig this chick.

Fly like a G6

Everybody's blogging about Lavin for H&M.. which I'm getting a little sick of. Kinda like a reflex. ANYWAY, THESE TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.





I don't see why celebrity parents should hide their kids from the limelight unless they're milking them like a cash cow. I deduced there can only be 2 reasons:

A) Their babies are ugly
B) They can't stand the fact that they will one day grow old and their kids will be stealing all the attention and limelight

I was extremely happy when JLO decided to let twins Emme and Max share her glory for very obvious reasons:

A) THEY'RE SO FUGGIN' CUTEEEEEEEE!
B) It's for an extremely good cause.
C) Well, it's kinda like screaming at our faces tho Daddy's not so great in the looks department (and talent) but with good mommy genes, you can still look really good.

Gist of the Campaign: JLO stars alongside her two-year-old twins, Emme and Max, in Gucci’s latest campaign which will hit stores in spring 2011. Gucci will in return make a donation to UNICEF and the Maribel Foundation which JLO started with her sister. The shoot took place in Malibu (GORGEEEEOUSSSSSSSS), the sunlight looked so perfect on JLO's flawless skin and her twin toddlers are too cute for words. Glam in the sand!

You can check out the behind-the-scenes video for the shoot. Honestly, make me wanna have babies.

Movie: You again

Do you remember how you were like when you back in school? Were those memories you swore never to talk about again? I was lucky, my school days treated me pretty well. I may not be the prettiest girl but I made it up for being the school head counselor (I know, proud moments..) and president for my school's voluntary club. But the truth is, for most of us no matter how old you are, you never get over high school.

"You Again" - typically began with Kristin Bell (voice of Gossip girl, xoxo!) narrating how bad her life was in high school, being the geekiest geek and very much bullied by the cheerleaders of the school. So after she left school, removed her braces and got a swanky PR job - her life changed. She's no longer than geeky girl she used to be but someone who found a confidence back and........... her nightmare has only just begun.

Bell was going back home to attend her brother's wedding only to realise the mean cheerleader who ruined her life in highschool was going to be her sister-in-law. It got a lot more fun when Bell's mother Gail (Jamie Lee-curtis) met her high school rivalry at the wedding too.

Too much high school drama? Fret not. "You Again" was highly entertaining with the funniest lines and almost every scene was funny. Don't think too much of this film because it's really one of those films where you get to relax and enjoy.

Director Andy Fickman trots out American Granny, Betty White as well, which was really endearing imo. There's no reason why anybody wouldn't laugh with Granny Betty White. I felt that "You Again" carried great messages about second chances - making mistakes is part of life, “how we fix them is what matters.”

I'm just not so sure if Kristin Bell is going to be our next Disney American Sweetheart.
