NEWS FLASH: F(X) SULLI'S COMMITTED SUICIDE

Some quick news for you. Following the tragic death of Shinee's Lee Jong Hyun, another SM Entertainment member - F(x) Sulli was found dead in her home on 14 October 2019 at the aged of 25. 

With the pressure to earn money in the competitive Kpop world, korean stars are under a lot of stress and they usually succumbed to depression and take their own live. The caused of her death is still unknown.

I sure hope the authority would look into this matter and help all these Kpop stars who are under a lot of pressure.

Lets hope Sulli's soul will be put to rest for eternity... RIP Sulli...

SELF-ESTEEM VS NARCISSISM

Hi there!

Today I'm gonna talk about Self Esteem VS Narcissism. What are the differences between these two? You can also call it being CONFIDENT OR INSECURE...

Confident people are naturally outgoing, chatty and fun-loving. While Insecure people are mostly introvert and quiet... I lean more to the insecure side. I love reading and studying while confident people likes spending time with people. I am considered to be the more-serious child... My question is is it okay to be insecure? Will you come off as proud, arrogant or negative?

I am pretty confident about my looks, hair, skin and figure but hides my other flaws to outside people... We love being with people who understands us, like my sister and mother but avoid people who gives us stress... How do you train yourself to be confident? Visiting a psychiatrist will be a good way to help you learn and grow everyday.

Here are some words that helps to explain what loving yourself is all about...

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself. 

If your goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the correct feelings toward yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you. 

I think everyone should take some time to fall in love with themselves... Like finding out how you liked to be loved, what you truly love to do, your favourite scents, your favourite song, your favourite food, your least favourite food, your pet peeves, your bad habits, your good qualities and everything you thought you never need to discover... Get to know yourself and then fall in love with yourself.. You need to love yourself before people can love you...

With so many instagrammers looking beautiful and taking beautiful pictures on social media who is deemed as being narcissistic or vain, it is good to stop and smell the roses once in a while to develop good thoughts and practices. Whatever it is, I hope everyone stay hard working, happy, driven and motivated everyday as we keep learning and growing together! Ciao!

5 TIPS ON ANTI-AGEING~

Hi there! Good day! Today I'm gonna teach my readers on how to maintain younger looking skin in just 5 steps! Being 37 this year and going on the big 40 has made me very insecure about my skin... Therefore, I focus a lot on how to keep my skin young and smooth in the recent years! So let's waste no more time and get down to my anti-ageing beauty secrets!

1. Drink plenty of water - H20 is a very important factor for life and also maintaining young and smooth skin! It hydrates and replenish your body to keep your skin smooth and supple.
2. Sunscreen - Sunscreen is very important. It helps to block the sun harmful UV rays which can cause sun damaged to the skin and also ages your skin! I used Biore, Neutrogena and Garnier moisturizer with SPF before I go out into the sun!
3. Collagen - Collagen helps to maintain skin elasticity and make our skin look younger! Recently, when I'm taking selfies on instagram, I realized my skin looks a bit aged... I was very upset and I immediately went to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of $100 collagen vitamin pills! Haha... Talk about being super vain and spendthrift! Lol... The brand I always go to is ITOH collagen drink which retails at BHG and Lac Taut at GNC because they're relatively cheaper. I also put collagen masks every week in my beauty routine...
4. Youth concentrate serum - I like to use The Body Shop youth concentrate serum on my skin before I go off to bed in the night! It has become a fad to include serum in your everyday beauty routine to keep skin smooth and younger!
5. Anti-oxidant - Anti-oxidant is a good source of vitamins to maintain soft and smooth skin... I eat a lot of carrots, strawberries and yogurt to give your body Vitamin A retinol to keep skin young and smooth! Green tea also consists of anti-oxidant which is good for your body!
