Fun to fail

Sometimes as I flip through the pages of memoirs and autobiographies, I find my life projected in those prints. The first half usually has this weird way of reminding me of the truckloads of crap which was/is dumped into my life by the dude up there. However, being blindly positive, I get a little too excited thinking I'm like them, the only difference being, those people somehow overcame the obstacles by the second half, became a 'somebody' and...

Never too late

I completely turned off updates about my personal life for sometime, but now it feels fair enough to give it a dust. People say, life has its own way of moulding you, which is indeed very true. And I'm thankful that I gave myself a chance at this. I have always seen the obstacles placed in front of me as an opportunity to learn, thus, letting me truly be my own self throughout the chaos. Now that I have witnessed and personally felt a handful...

Perfume guide for dummies

I'm a stickler for good perfumes. Prior picking one, I study some products first and that perhaps gives me enough knowledge and pride to write about an incident that took place during my previous semester break. A shopaholic's routine, as you all can predict is shopping of course.  I went shopping that fine day as well. Usual look-see and stuffs. Suddenly I had this thought of sampling perfumes since my TH Dreaming which I use when I'm home...

Foundations and Concealers

Foundation-hunt can be a daunting, pain-in-the-neck experience. While some still struggle at the beauty counters, another group purchases the wrong shade calling it the right one. The gist being, both are in serious trouble! Foundation as the name goes is the most important base for make-up (setting aside primer) which drives many nuts at both pre and post shopping stages. As mentioned by many make-up artists, picking the wrong foundation can...

Craving-A-Craze

The one thing harder to resist than Gerard butler I should admit cravings, especially for food. This intense desire to consume a certain variety of food drives many crazy while stacking a few pounds to those drop-dead curves. Deadly uh? But if you were to say you can slam the door against it, you either deserve a salute or perhaps an addition of, liar to your CV.  Salty, Sugary and Fatty are the 3 deadly variation of food cravings which...

The Ultimate Change

For someone who feeds on all unhealthy delicacies without much guilt, a healthy routine is of zero worth. However the existence of exceptions to rules did some justice to a life today.  As you all have guessed (which I’m sure you did), it’s none other than the life of the striving-to-be-great-me, Renuka. Ok that’s too much of fame to handle, yet don’t worry I’m used to it =) The next line is not for the faint-hearted!!!!! I jogged...

Me, frugal? Seriously....

Why didn't I buy a new bag? 5 people asked me today! Can you believe it? 5??? I certainly went speechless. Then I asked myself once again, WHY? Yes I asked in Caps.  ok, this is more like a dream =p The truth being, even I don't know. I used to come back after every holiday donning a new bag like it's a fashion staple not to be missed.  What happened to that norm, Renuka? Well, I saw a few of my taste in ELLE, Mango and Charles&Keith...

4th of the 2nd

Today went well actually. Yes it’s true that yesterday I was all freaked out thinking about the possible outcomes of my limited hard work last semester, but thank god things turn out well. My pointer looks more fabulous than a pair of Chanel boots and I’m very much satisfied with the hike it has shown. Guess what? Wishing my dad for father’s day with the news gave me and of course him the best  feeling ever. You know like the flying without...

Happy Father's Day (2012)

First of all, Happy Father's Day to Mr.GS! Last year I listed 50 things about you and this year I'm running out of ideas. To my own surprise, I really am. But I still I'm not going to stop here. I'm Erik, Uma Mumble, deal? =D Ok let me put it this way, we have experienced a few great chapters and of course some really horrifying ones. We argue like it's a courtroom, we laugh like the whole mall is ours, we make fun of each other , sometimes...

Publicly exhibiting such a P&C information is lawfully wrong! Are you kidding me? You really wanna do that? You are worse than cats. However, being fully conscious about the fact nothing is going to change the decision made, I withdraw my case. Haizz can we like skip a day or something, so I need...

Stacking and My Birkin Dream

Well I was browsing thru my Facebook I came across this. I just can't exactly describe what my feelings were like but honestly they weren't at all stable. Oh if you think it's because I can't get one, sorry babe you're sure to be wrong. Of course I'm all allowed to get a Gucci or Givenchy. Or perhaps more like a Prada to be realistic. (Gucci and Givenchy would make my next three generations feed on potatoes and bananas.) The truth is I was driven...

Baking queen

I baked today! I baked an absolutely delicious orange cake. Can you believe it? It was just yesterday I was hailing all bakers and today voila I'm a baker myself. Punch..no.. Pinch me please! Perhaps you would ask me to keep it down but guess what? Not happening. My baking skills have been recognized and complimented by many already giving me zero chance to stay humble about it. Just like the philosophers put it, 'there's no modesty when it's...

Much hated M

Macaroons. What's with macaroons that drove me insane a few days ago? Why am I treating them with much hatred? In fact I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm not a hateful person! But why these innocent cream filled treats pushing me in all the wrong ways? Well that's a lil too dramatic! Being my normal self I confess, I'm not into macaroons and the conclusion was made right after a bite and two chews. First of all, why are some people talking...

What an irony..

Before I even begin, can eating cheese and egg everyday cause any life threatening disease? If yes, please pray for me. Well today I would like to talk about courage. I remember a few weeks ago I received a heart breaking text from a friend saying she needs a second operation. Even worse that particular sort of operation is a crazy-painful one. For a moment my hands turned numb due to the shocking news but the next second I knew exactly what to...

A tragedy turned hobby

According to Oscar Wilde, everyone has their own tragedies. Some people desperately read to not grow stupid, that's their tragedy, I read yet remain stupid and that is my tragedy. When things get real ugly and morphs into a picture perfect mess, I turn to books. And that's a lie. So we ignore that. To be brutally honest, when things get real ugly and morphs into a picture perfect mess and I can't 'teleport' myself to any malls in the country,...

Confusingly-complicated

Have you ever thought of having an 'it's complicated' relationship with your life? At times of joy you are triggered to be fully certain of even the teeny tiny details, however when circumstances slap you on the face you go all vague about the status like a child who tries to read an abstract painting. The gist being, you are unsure and as all authors and scholars put it, it's a bloody damn roller coaster ride. To add further, a damn damn ride...
