    seven years with you

    December 29, 2016

    seven years with you | chainyan.co
    Today is Aian's and my 7th year together. I'm feeling a bit lonely, as we won't be able to celebrate it together, as I'll be in the province for a post-Christmas family gathering. Since we wouldn't be able to celebrate it together this year, I thought of making this collage with our selfies from 2009 to 2016.. but looking at all these old photos just made me feel more miserable. (I miss Aian and all our babycats ;__;) Still, it feels kind of nice seeing how much we've grown together these past seven years. (Also, how much we've gotten better at makeup, dressing up, and taking selfies.)

    To Aian – I know these past years haven't been easy, and from time to time it gets a bit difficult, but I feel incredibly grateful knowing I'm going through life with you. Thank you always, for everything. (As I always say, thanks for putting up with my shit.) Happy 7 years, love. You will always be, to me, my best friend and favorite person in the whole universe. I love you ♥

    review : EOS Cat Eyes Gray Lens

    December 21, 2016

    Hi everyone! I'm finally back from Kuala Lumpur! To be honest my body's still a bit sore from walking so much these past few days, but I'm really glad that I can get to blogging again! I have a ton of photos and stories I want to show you all, as this year's trip was the most ~touristy~ that we've ever been since we started visiting Malaysia every year from 2013. I'll get to sharing those as soon as I finish working on all the photos, but for now, here's a review I did before we left for KL! :)

    EOS Cat Eyes Gray | chainyan.co
    Speaking of reviews, these days I've been churning out reviews one after the other that I'm quite surprised at myself, since I've always been a lazy blogger. I don't know if you guys remember, but a few months back I talked about how I wasn't able to review lenses for over a year. The truth is, during that time, I continued to receive a contact lenses from sponsors, but I never actually got around to reviewing them. I still feel very guilty about it, so I thought I'd review them now. These lenses already expired a long time ago (some of these were from 2014), so I can't take photos of them when worn anymore. So what I did was, I looked for photos of me wearing any of the lenses I still had. Luckily, I managed to find a few of them sitting in the PC, so I'll be reviewing the ones in those! The first pair is EOS Cat Eyes Gray*, sent to me by LoveShoppingholics ♥

    Comic Fiesta 2015

    December 14, 2016

    Comic Fiesta 2015 | chainyan.co
    Hey everyone! I just finished packing my bags for tomorrow's flight to KL, so I thought I'd sit down and finally get to writing this. As some of you may know, the reason why I'll be in KL from tomorrow is because Comic Fiesta 2016 is this weekend! Comic Fiesta, or CF for short, is Malaysia's biggest and longest-running convention that focuses on animation, comics and games (ACG). Aian and I attended our first CF in 2013, and we've been attending every year since then. Last year and the year before that, I actually applied for a blogger pass so I was able to meet all the amazing guests and listen to their interviews (only listen, because I'm too shy to ask questions myself hehe). Sadly, I wasn't able to put up my event report for CF2015, so I decided not to apply for a pass this year. This year, we'll be attending as a regular con-goers, just like our first ever CF!

    Even though I wasn't able to put up my event report for CF2015 on time, I thought it would be such a waste not to share the photos, especially since our friend Jaimee, who was my ~photographer~ for last year, did an amazing job with taking photos. So here you go, my extremely late Comic Fiesta 2015 report! (Warning: super image heavy! 60+ photos, gasp!)

    review : EO Flexwear Illusions II Sienna Contact Lens

    December 10, 2016

    Flexwear Illusions II Sienna | chainyan.co
    I mentioned in a previous post that I bought new lenses to match my updated glasses prescription. I'm gonna talk about them today! They're contact lenses from Executive Optical. It was my first time buying lenses from EO, so I wasn't familiar with their lens offerings. It took me about 15 minutes to decide on a pair, since I was comparing all the available designs to lenses that I've already tried before. The SA's in EO Southmall were very helpful though. After much deliberation, I finally settled on the Flexwear Illusions II Sienna.

    a list of happy things

    December 8, 2016

    a list of happy things | chainyan.co
    a list of happy things | chainyan.co
    Only 18 (!!) days left before Christmas, and soon after that, it'll be January. I don't know about the rest of you, but I just really want the year to be over and done with. It's not that 2016 has been particularly unkind to me, but all these local and international events happening one after the other just makes me want to fast-forward to 2017. Also, with all the shit happening to the country at this time, it's so hard to find something to be happy about. So today, I thought I'd try making a list of things that made me happy recently. I got the idea from Audrey's 52 week challenge for 2016, which I found through Tannya. Like I said, a lot of bad things have been happening, so it was hard for me to come up with anything. But this way, I got to look back on the past week and think of all the things that made me happy, no matter how small.
