3月20日 在那以后我时常会满心欢喜地期盼一件事情，在它发生之前想象着在那以后如何兴奋地对别人讲起；它往往并不让人失望，甚至比想象中更加精彩和美好，可是当它真正结束后，我却常常什么也不想说。
讽刺之事，不过如此。
在那以后，怎么样了呢？
不过是一如既往茫然地生活。Life sucks but that's how we were made.
在离开的日子里春天已悄然来临，我费力地感觉到空气中的暖意，想着如果这样麻木下去，会不会觉得虚度此生。
樱花又开了。 11月13日 Rainbow昨日雨后，看到海面上出现大大的彩虹，纪念一下，以前常见，但从没见过这么壮观的
贴首老歌的歌词，很老的歌，后来在You've got mail里面也出现过
7月18日 Forever and Ever Dior The fresh, soft floral bouquet has top notes of ivy leaves, freesia petals and water jasmine for freshness. The delicate floral heart contains wild rose and almond blossoms, subtly enhanced by the spicy hints of geranium. The base notes of vanilla, musk and ambrette seeds bring velvety softness and subtle sensuality, according to the house. 6月6日 Happy is beautiful Clinique Happy
A chic, modern, multi-layered floral with sparkling, lingering fragrance of Ruby Red Grapefruit, Boysenberry Bush Flower and Hawaiian Wedding Flower.
那日去The Bay里转悠，其实是想去买City Block——这地方纬度又高，又靠海边，紫外线强度可想而知，我终于下定决心再给Clinique一次机会，因为我一直以来和这个北美入门级专柜品牌八字不合。结果，City Block断货，无论是SPF15或是24和40的Super city block。这款隔离霜在这里的抢手程度果然名不虚传，ORZ。
但是BA的态度很好（应该是香港出身的），即使知道我讲国语，也没有很多Cantonese BA那种略显傲气的感觉，为了迁就我也讲了两句国语，不过我已经足够迁就她，基本就说英语。
期间谈到Happy这款香氛，她说：Happy is beautiful.
Clinique远不是什么香氛名家，真正出名的也只有带Happy前缀的一些。最初也是经典的这款Happy original, 橘子香和花香，让人想起穿着布裙豆蔻年华的少女，如果真的能让人happy的话，也是一种类似回到童年的欢愉。
妈妈喜欢Dior, 无论是以某网络小说而出名的Dolce Vita, 还是号称长期以来的Best seller J' adore; 姑姑喜欢Chanel, Chanel No.5对中国人来说是神话般的存在——并不是因为背景和价钱，而是因为我们大部分无法忍受它的味道，而她，却可以享受其中，更不用提能更为我们所接受的Allure。Haipei喜欢Estee Lauder的Beyond Paradise, 也由此改变了一些我对这个品牌的看法，确实是很不错的味道，而且适合她。
不过我，一直以来对这些名家敬而远之，闻则闻矣，买——算了吧。尤其是Dior和Chanel, 无论怎么清淡化，怎么年轻化化他们的产品，那种固有的成熟女人的底子是去不掉的。而且长期从事实验工作养成的准职业病：大部分香水初闻，我的第一反应都是：酒精。
Dior如同养尊处优的贵妇，从旧时伞裙到今天雍容华贵的晚礼服，尽管今天很多职业女性也喜欢它；Chanel给人的感觉绝不该是高贵和奢华，而是一个优雅，从容，神秘的独立女性。这就是我为什么十分反感Chanel近些年来的一些广告，尤其是那些为好莱坞明星设计的，过于张扬，喧嚣，奢靡和珠光宝气，尼可基德曼的晚礼裙不是这个品牌的精髓——不要忘了当年是Coco Chanel让女性穿上了长裤和骑马装。Estee Lauder就如同纽约商业区匆匆行走的职业女性，时尚，独立，自信，很美国。而Guerlain——我唯一爱的名家香水——有人说Guerlain是皇室，但对我来说难以形容，只能说它纯粹，绝对的纯粹，纯粹的香而没有别的，我这种奇怪的嗅觉，都可以意识不到酒精的气味。它正像皇室一样离我如此遥远，我爱它的香，却从未想过去拥有它。
和他们比起来，Clinique就如那首Westlife的歌：Uptown girl. 我的Happy小样是去年圣诞节前得到的，今天还没有用完，其实对于亚洲人来说，用香水只是一种心情而远非习惯。一直在断断续续用的还有Elizabeth Arden的Green Tea, 有人说这个味道用的人实在太多，不过那只是在中国，或者亚洲，因为喜爱浓烈香气的欧美人，并不一定偏好这种清淡飘逸的草木香。
淡的香水留香不会持久，不过正如同我说的，只是一种心情而已，何必太在意。将苛刻的眼光和浮躁虚荣的气息抛开，anyways, HAPPY is beautiful 4月16日 Swarovski in the box I got this today. Their beautiful, man-made (=___=) crystal always makes me stop by. Is it an excuse to spend some money on a real thing instead of collecting pictures? And now, it is more expensive than beautiful (=_________=).
I feel I want to buy her something more than a gift. A souvenir before I leave. The dolphin is my favorite animal. A smart, energetic FI...sorry, M.A.M.M.A.L.I.A.N !!! Health and happiness. That's all I wish. Especially, for her.
2月4日 福娃入手==老实说如果是在北京，八成不会买这些东西，不过看到英文比中文好的Sisi这么积极地想要买，自己也觉得身为北京人，应该多少支持一下，其实这东西还是挺有意思的kuku...
5个12寸的一共近五百人民币，弄那么多吉祥物的目的明显。有在国内的亲戚买了一套让我们挑，结果表妹先挑走了照片里看起来最好的熊猫，我就只好要了绿色的，因为看起来最喜庆（要读“xing”, 轻声）后来又附带了只红色的。拿来真品发现绿色的其实最好看（Keroro: Kero?）
 ， 哦呵呵……强烈的想让自己2008年奥运时在北京，连Sisi都这么想，反正volunteer不嫌多吧^^. 她可以说自己会讲流利的中英文，并会一点法语；我可以说自己会扑通话，北京话（……），英文和日文=__=。
此外，同为北京人的blog友安吉罗：到了那(nei)时候（shi our）您老(le)可就派上大用场啦~~~!
12月28日 Xmas this yearMost precious gift: Kelly Clarkson's album Breakaway (Thanks Happy! T_T)
Xmas Eve: I went to the church with my aunt and cousin. I just wanted to know what the church would be like on that day. I'm by no means a Christian and I won't be as long as I'm strong enough. However, I still adore the celebration because the carols are so beautiful though Silent Night is the only one I could follow.
Boxing days' shopping: No clothes, no shoes... It's all about accessories.
Now: still looking for something worth seeing...
I may go back to work in a few days. We are all cheap labors anyway.
12月20日 Gifts for My MotherFor me, buying gifts for others is much happier than looking for things for myself cuz I usually walk in the mall for a day trying to find something I really want and end up with nothing.
My mom likes Christian Dior' s fragrances or those like that. For me, I really hope her to try Guerlain' s cuz this manufacturer is like the queen of fragrances. However, it turned out Guerlain' s gift package was not so satisfied so I turned to CD again and picked up Dolce Vita, my mom's favorite. The gifts included:
j'adore 5ml (I was told that this is their best seller)
j' adore GEL PARFUME (perfumed bath and shower gel)
A lipstick (I forgot which series it belongs to)
A lip brush A small tube of perfumed body lotion
In fact, CD, Chanel and Estee Lauder are like "Nana' s brands" to me. I avoided their counters most of the time when I was wandering in the mall. Maybe the first two are too classic to me. Estee Lauder, well, first it IS aimed at midaged women. Second, I don't like cosmetics from North America. Maybe I am too subjective cuz Happy (Yeah that is her name) showed me EL's Paradise, her favorite perfume, and that was nice though still not "My fragrance".
Also there was a $15 gift card. That means you can save $15 when you've spent up to $50. We didn't see the "$50" at first and after we were told so...We would kill someone. We spent the rest of our night looking for something that is more than $50 and that bloody gift card ruined our night. I hate a game like that! >皿<Next time I should be more cautious. Calm down, you grown-up! Don't be involved anymore! 12月4日 POOH! MACThere's no doubt that MAC is the most popular brand of cosmetics in North America. However, it doesn' t work on me. I tried the Select cover-up concealer and it really irritated my skin around eyes. I was almost never allergic to anything but this time my eyes were puffy all the following day and I had to wear glasses all the time. I was considered buying their eyeshadows cuz they are always well rated but now I won' t. My eyes and skin would be ruined. I wonder why MAC is so popular in Canada and the US? Are our skin types different that much? |
