Random ramble on life specifically about school, work, beauty and fashion. Whatever makes me smile, cry or scream at the moment.

FRAUD
Someone tried to use my credit card with transactions costing more than $1,600. Thankfully, Bank of America noticed the suspicious transactions and did not allow it to go through. When I asked the Bank of America associate, she said it seems like the person had an actual credit card and it wasn't online transactions. So, he/she somehow made a copy of my card. It's scary thinking about it. Who is that person? How did he/she made a copy of my card? I wonder when he/she got a hold of my credit card information. This makes me not want to use cards anymore. Cash is safer, right?

Shake Me Up
This past week has been interesting.
Earlier this week, my friend, Daniel, messaged me and asked me whether my family were alright from the earthquake. Since I'm at the other end of the world, I didn't know that a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit West Sumatra. My hometown, Padang, has recently been constantly attacked by multiple earthquakes. Last year around the same time, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake destroyed the city and much of its occupants. After hearing the news, I quickly checked the news online and texted my family members. Since it was late night there, none of them replied. I couldn't wait for an answer so I messaged my other cousins who are abroad and maybe they have some contact with our family in Padang. Thankfully, they informed me that everyone is safe. However, what I didn't realized was the impact of the earthquake. There was a small tsunami as a result of it and volcano eruptions. Even though my family members are fine, more than 500 people are missing.
Thoughts went running to my head. How would I feel or react if I found out that something bad happened to my family? Will I cry? Will I be angry at God? I just don't know. I hope I would never know.

Last SkinCare Buy for 2010
Just as the title of the post. Hopefully, this is my last skincare buy for 2010. I ran out of eye cream, so I was looking for something wonderful to try. Looked around the whole mall and finally decided to get the Estee Lauder set (US$50). It is a good deal for that price. Comes with a facial foam, serum, moisturizer and eye cream. Estee Lauder @ Nordstrom is having an offer, with $50 spent comes the gifts. The gifts include facial foam, toner, night serum, moisturizer, lipsticks and eyeshadow. I'm so happy with the buy! I can't wait to try everything...
