Experiment - YouTube

June 25, 2017 by Serenity 0 Comments A⁺ a^-

I'm a very shy, introverted person. Usually I have a hard time starting conversations, and answering questions. Especially when I'm in public, if it's just a class presentation, I have the tendency to start stuttering. My heart starts racing and as soon as I realize that I hear myself speak, it's all over. I start taking more breaths and just mumble so that nobody can understand me.

However in front of my friends, I'm not like that, I'm very open, and outgoing. They often describe me as very happy with a strong personality.

Since I've heard that talking more to the camera, a mirror, may help being more comfortable with others, I decided to use YouTube as a device of me becoming more open.

This is my first time talking in front of a camera, and as you can see I'm very shy, have a hard time figuring out what I want to say, and it's just so very awkward and embarrassed hearing myself.

I hope with more videos to come I become more calm and it's easier to talk. Especially because I have a heavy accent, I have a hard time keeping my sentences grammatically right when I'm nervous.

A few days ago, I went to Wallmart to purchase one of the Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser because I just finished my last cleanser, however it was sold out. Yesterday I went again, and they only had one left so I grabbed the last one. I purchased it for $5.64 with 6.77 FL. oz (200mL) and it claims to purify pores and draws out 2x more dirt and impurities.

Etude House Lips-Talk Chiffon is one of my favorite lipsticks in my little make up collection. I bought the shade PK027 when I was in Mall of Asia, Manila, Philippines for more or less $23.90, initially I bough it for my older sister, but she told me that she already bought herself some other things from Etude House so I kept it for myself.

Revlon Colorstay Brow Pencil retails for $6.79 and claims to be 24-hour longwearing with a waterproof formula.

When I first came to the USA, I used up my last brow pencil I had till from Philippines I also mainly used my nude eyeshadow palette to fill in my brows. My make up collection is pretty small, I don't have many items, since beauty products in Philippines is quiet expensive and not everything is available.

Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser is a deep cleanser and make up remover, as described on POND's website. Many consumers talk positively about this cream, I also heard it from my friend, as well as some Youtube videos who use this in their skincare regiment. So I decided to give it a try because I'm fighting for years against my acne.

Sailor Moon Keychain and Necklace

Sailor Moon is one of the Anime that made up my childhood. Ever since I can remember, I always asked my parents for Sailor Moon magazines, merchandise, drew Sailor Moon pictures and had a life-size poster of the main character on the wall where I pose the iconic Sailor Moon pose. That didn't stop back then, through the years I still continued to be obsessed with Sailor Moon, from buying the German manga, to wanting to Cosplay Princess Serenity. My sister bought then the re-releases of the manga in Germany and after reading, gave them to me.

Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2

Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII follows the heroes Lightning, Snow, Hope, Vanille, Fang, and Sazh around trying to save the world from the fal'cie and saving Sara, Lightnings sister, as they make their way through Cocoon and Grand Pulse.

Every since I was a teenager, I always wanted to play a Final Fantasy game, because I saw my childhood friends play Final Fantasy X and X-2 on their Playstation 2. But I was never able to play it since the game disc was corrupted and when I wanted to play it, it wasn't able to read on my Playstation 2. So I was glad that my husband told me that he has the games Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns on his Steam account.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello there!

I decided to start a blog about anything that interests me, mainly about beauty, fashion, photography and gaming. Ever since before I was interested in these things, all my discoveries will be shared on this blog.

Why the name?
I'm not sure but after thinking and looking for inspiration, the two words really talked to me - lovely - and - glow -. To be honest I like anything sparkly and that word "sparkly" didn't really seem right, so I was thinking about something similar - glow!

Maybe some things that I write about on my blog interests you.

Love, Serenity
