And just like that, my 4 weeks vacation has finally ended. Hello second sem! :) Hello majors, hello defense, hello patients! I don't know what makes me so excited in going back to school well in fact, this semester will be the start of our most memorable toxic days in college. The schedule is somewhat unbearable because it's from Monday to Friday starting from 7 in the morning and ends already in the evening either 7, 8 or even 9 on Fridays! I'm not complaining though because I can feel that one whole day will still not be enough to finish a certain requirement because I just hate bringing home projects or having loads of back works to do. As long as I can, I want to finish a certain work in the least amount of time given. Going to back to the main point of this post, I was able to score some goodies just recently during my vacation. Let me show you some of it. 
Trendy Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Fashion Beauty Eye Makeup.  This was kindly sent to me by BornPrettystore. This is actually a 2 in 1 product. It consists of a pencil and liquid eyeliner. I tried using the pencil but it doesn't really work nicely. As for the eyeliner, it's not long lasting but it's just appropriate for a minimal every day look. If I'll rate this product, it's going to be 3/5.
Natural Curly Thick Mascara Waterproof I'm not really a fan of mascaras and I only have 2 plus this one so I'm not really familiar with mascaras. When I opened it, it's kind of dry but when I applied it, I loved the result. It somewhat added volume to my lashes plus has this thickening effect. It's safe to say that it's worth it for its cheap price & I'm currently using on a daily basis. 
Winter Vintage Long Band Felt Fedora. You know how much I love wearing and collecting different hats. When I saw this fedora from Rosegal's site, I fell in love with it and knew that I want to have it! The package where this hat belong was actually the fastest I received from international shipping. Another fedora has been added to my collection!!! Thanks Rosegal! :) 
Punk Style Faux Gem Water Drop ChokerI'm not really a fan of chokers but chose to give it a try and ordered two different pieces all from Rosegal too. I love how it can instantly make a look effortlessly edgy. :)
Stylish Solid Color Choker.

It's 11:13 pm as of now and I still have lots of energy here so I thought of sharing something different on the blog. My mind was preoccupied by a lot of things lately- my future, my career, my family, all those what ifs and buts- and if I have a pen and a paper now, a pad wouldn't be enough to contain all my thoughts and musings at the moment. These random thoughts of mine lead me to think of composing a letter to my self  containing the goals and things that I'm looking forward to achieve in the future. So tadaaa, here's a letter to my 30 year old self. It's a decade from now! :)
Dear 30 year old self,

Wow, you're in your thirties now! How does it feel like being 30? You probably feel so grown up right now! Haha. For sure you're managing a clinic of your own and brought back a lot of smiles to your patients. If you're not just an orthodontist, you've perhaps achieved your dream of becoming a maxillofacial surgeon by now. I hope you get to experience being a professor too from the college you graduated in because I know that teaching is one of your childhood dream, right? I hope you find fulfillment in your practice and still feel motivated every single day that you work. Maybe, during weekends, when you're off from being a dentist, you manage to attend and host events and still run your blog like what you've always wanted to do. It has probably evolved from style blogging to life, style and mommy blogging. Could you imagine that? Haha! I'll be really proud if you still manage to do all of it in spite of your busy schedule.

You've probably went to Europe with your family already, or party with friends in Bali, or even spent your first winter Christmas in Japan. Have you? You deserve all of those travels because I know that you worked so hard to pay for all of it. How about your mom? Have you bought a brand new car for her? I hope so because she deserves it more than you do, I guess. Haha! I hope your brothers are also doing better in their professions as a seafarer and architect. I know you and your mom worked hard together to send the two of them in college.

If you got really lucky, you probably have your special someone right beside you. Oh well, I'm sure you've been through a heartbreak over a guy whom you went gaga to, you might have been pained deeply but never turned into a bitter one and been through a lot in love but never decided to give up. What's important is whom you're with at the moment and the one who chose and fought a lot of circumstances just to be with you. I hope you're happily married now and fulfilling all the relationship goals you've made up in your head when you were in your twenties. I know you had lots! :) Perhaps you've started to build a small business together and is planning of settling down in your own house. If you've got even luckier, you probably have one kid by now and would still have 2 or 3 more in the near future. Just don't exceed those numbers, okay! I hope you get to manage the household well and knows how to cook already. Don't just serve your kids with fried eggs and hotdogs. Learn to experiment. Haha! I hope you get to raise your kids the way mom raised you.

I'm sure you're happy and somewhat fulfilled with whatever you have in life right now. I know, you still want to achieve a lot of things other than those mentioned, travel to a lot of different places you wished to go, and influence a lot of people through your story but I hope that in some way, you're happy after reading this letter I  gave you with the hopes that everything I have written is right. I'm sorry if I've been weak and fragile at times. Sorry if I'm frightened most of the time and dwell on all the what ifs and buts. But thank you. Thank you for never giving up and still pushing yourself even if life could be really hard at times. Thank you for taking a step forward and learning to take risks and grab chances. Thank you for welcoming change. I know all these struggles brought you up and honed you to be the best version of yourself. You deserve all of these things. Head up high, Shaira! There's still a long way to go! :)

Love,
Your 20 year old self
Special thanks to Rosegal for sending me over this cute and comfy off shoulder top. It actually comes with a choker but I decided not to wear it because it will not match the casual outfit that I put on a lazy day of errands. Thanks to my college friend, Von, for my handy bag. I'm actually overusing it already. Haha :)
