The Hunger GamesI just saw The Hunger Games movie and it was good. Really good. :) Before I begin, I just want to let you know that I don’t want to spoil you, so read at your own risk. I’d like to watch this movie with my boyfriend but since he’s too far away from me, I’ve decided to watch it alone. It’s my first time to watch a movie alone and I could’ve invited a few friends but I really don’t want to share this moment with anyone else but him. /cheeseballs! I also don’t want to go with someone who’ll critique the movie but never read the book. Anyway, about the movie… I don’t know how to begin. The movie was awesome. The cast was awesome. I personally don’t understand the purpose of a film adaptation but never followed a single thing in the book (The Lightning Thief, anyone?). The people behind this movie tried their very best to stay close to the book, which I really, really, and I mean REALLY appreciate. Even Ceasar Flickerman’s hair and eyebrows were according to what the book described him to be!
![]() As promised, here are the photos of my Snupped sleeves.
Which one is better: the sock or the zipper? I honestly have no idea. I needed the handle on the zipper sleeve because I’m afraid that without it, the sleeve might slip off my hands. I wouldn’t want that. On the other hand, the fabric from the sock sleeve feels thicker and if you order the snuggly type, the gadget (in my case, the iPad) doesn’t fall off.
![]() Remember, Multiply? :) I’m sure you do. Back then, that site was my sanctuary of thoughts and memories… and my source of random online shopping!!! :) Filipinos are very creative people. Even though it was a breach of the terms and conditions, they used Multiply as a bustling marketplace for everything — clothes, make-up, quirky finds and gadgets. But due to the huge drop of users back in 2007, the team behind Multiply had to sit down and analyze the next step. Now, they’re back again with a new platform. I’m proud to introduce to you the Multiply Marketplace! Two Sundays ago, I was invited by Azrael to attend a conference with other bloggers and collectors. In the conference, Multiply and other speakers gave several tips on how to set-up an online business and how to use the new Multiply Marketplace. With the new platform, you can now purchase your items with different payment methods: BPI, BDO, G-cash, Paypal and credit cards. Not to mention, Multiply will serve as a mediator between the buyers and sellers. This kind of move is quite impressive since it will lessen the possibility of scammers and bogus buyers. If you’re interested in buying something at Multiply, feel free to read David Guison’s guide. I’m still choosing which to buy though but wow, I’m drooling at those pretty vintage finds I just saw.
![]() If you haven’t heard about it, let me introduce to you Facebook’s Timeline! I’m a geek when it comes to these things, probably because half of my being is a programmer (the other half is my artsy fartsy side, in case you’re curious). After a few ample tweaks, my page is fully converted. You can only have this kind of page if you’re a Facebook Developer (you can be one, as well!). My initial reaction? It’s neat, a bit confusing at first and the notification/chat sidebar needs to go because I can’t stand uncentered containers. I like how personalized the features are. Facebook for the nth time around is revolutionizing social networks by making it more personalized, like an online scrapbook or diary. With the new timeline, you can add “milestones” about your life. You can tell friends that you got engaged, travelled to a certain place or graduating from a military school and stuff. From the name itself, it’s a timeline. It’s a place where you want to look back of your ups and downs, your achievements and happiest days.
Bloom 7-pc. Brush SetA few months ago, I attended an open house at Raffles Design Institute. They were nice enough to give all of the guests a Purple Gift Card (a gift card for brands under Store Specialists Inc.). I could’ve spent the card in Zara but decided to go to Beauty Bar instead because it was nearest store from where I was at that time I’ve decided to spend it (It was already quarter to ten by then, haha!). I’ve decided to take home a Bloom 7-pc. Brush Set.
I’m not a die-hard fan of make-up but for someone who’s recently been going to parties and events, it’s a must that I make myself look appropriate. Anyway, I’ve decided to get this one because of its simplicity. It’s also perfect for travelling and each brush has its own holder. The 7-pc brush set includes a powder brush, eye shadow brush, blending brush, liner brush, lash and brow groomer, sponge tip applicator and lip brush.
Here’s a close-up. A brief description of the brushes that’s included in the set:
