Let's See How Long These Will Last...

When I was in HK, my friend told me about these nail color stickers/patches that you can just stick on your nails and it will look like you have real nail polish on. We were in Watson's one day and see them on sale for 50% off (HKD 34.5), so I grabbed 3 packs of these. They are actually made in the US and from the website it seems like they are available at Walgreen's. Each pack comes with 20 strips (so you can choose the perfect size for your nails), a polish removal cloth, cuticle stick, mini file, and looks like samples of the French manicure patches. The patch is like a soft film of plastic, you just stick it on your nail and get rid of the excess at the end and around the edges. Pretty easy to apply, and no more waiting for nails to dry and fear that it might get smudged. The site says it can last up to 14 days. Let's see if that is true. I'm liking them so far and would love to try out the Glitter/Shimmer ones if I can find them at Walgreen's. Sephora has something similar also so I might try those out later as well.



Update:
The last batch lasted about 10 days before I actually had to remove it, but there was noticeable cracking after just a few days. The polish did come off easily with the cloth that came with the package or any other regular nail polish remover.

Seems like these wildfires in the San Gabriel Valley has became an annual event now. The Station Fire has spread to the north of Pasadena and this is the view of the fire from my balcony this evening. Thank God the smoke is not blowing this way today. A few days ago when the Morris Fire started burning, smoke blanketed the whole area and I was actually woken up by the burning smell the next morning. Yes, me woken up by a smell, imagine that!!!

Sorry, I know it is cruel, but no matter what, I still have to eat foie gras! Will this help? Or I should just move out of California before 2012!

歐洲"黑過墨斗"之旅

跟友人和她的妹妹去完歐洲旅行回來已差不多一個月了. 很多朋友都問旅途愉快嗎? 我說:「超黑仔!」(就是衰運連連的意思!) 友人寫下一個list. 以下是一部份的items:
1. 到米蘭, 下shuttle bus後, 問路人酒店在那裡. 那人二話不說便把我們的行李箱放到他的手推車上,叫我們跟他走. 到酒店後他要我們給他每件行李5歐元. 最終給了他10歐元了事.
2. 酒店櫃台硬要我們留下一本護照數個小時做登記. 需要那麼久嗎?
3. 酒店房間簡陋無比, 比大陸的酒店還惡劣. 和相片差天共地!
4. 到大教堂附近逛街, 友人被乞丐摸手臂!
5. 第二天打算到outlet, 找了老半天才找到巴士. 跟旅遊指南說的位置差很遠.
6. 生日那天自己把頭撞到玻璃門處. 腫了一塊!
7. 生日晚上本想到一家餐廳, 在餐廳外看見裡面有人但關門, 在門外等了很久那些人都不理我們!
8. 因姑姐過世, 要買eurostar到倫敦. 上網買票時"發瘟"買錯了時間, 花了一個小時想加錢改車票也改不了.
9. 在巴黎車站乘eurostar, 取票的機器不知道我的名字是怎樣寫, 試了很多遍也拿不到票, 結果要到counter取票. 排隊排了很久, 於是miss了我的班次. 工作人員還很不友善地說"你遲到了!"
10. 回到巴黎, 約了友人在outlet. 她們買錯車票, 本應5歐元的車票她們付了20歐元!
11. 從巴黎走的時候, 以為退稅counter是在過security之後. 誰知只看見一個沒有人的American Express/Tax Refund counter. 等了半小時, 再問了很多人才發現原來counter在外面! 於是再到外面辦退稅, 差點沒時間! 把退稅表格寄出後才想起好像沒有填credit card number! 希望還會有cheque收啦!

我們離開的時候, 那個list有17或18 items! 米蘭整個城市就像一間大黑店, 相信以後也不會再去! 巴黎我倒是挺喜歡的. 由於這一趟只有兩天, 沒有時間看清楚這個城市, 希望有機會能再去遊玩!

金曲獎

蕭敬騰拿不到最佳新人獎, 超可惜! 雖然盧廣仲創作是很行, 我也很喜歡他那首「我愛你」, 但是唱的話還是蕭敬騰比較好吧! 方大同也是很可惜沒有拿獎! 希望他們以後多加油囉!
