Review: KTOWN4U
August 01, 2020
Hi lazies! It’s been years since I pre-ordered an album on a Korean site. Today I’m gonna do a review with Ktown4u since it’s my first time to order here. Okay, let’s start!
I created an account beforehand on Ktown4u last July 2. And on the same day I pre-ordered an album which is ‘Monster’ of Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi.
I received an email for confirmation of my sign up on the site.
I also received an email about my order and another email for the payment.
July 7 was the release of the first mini album of Irene & Seulgi. There are 2 versions (at that time) the top note and the middle note. But I opted to pre-order only the top version since I like black. The price of the album was normally $16.64 on normal Ktown4u site but I got a chance to pre-ordered mine on 40% discount given by the reveluvunion on Ktown4u which priced only for $11.80.
Days passed but my album was still on preparing item but for the poster, it was ready to ship.
So I decided to chat the CS support of Ktown4u on why my pre-ordered album was still preparing even though it was passed the day of release.
It was July 9 when I messaged them and this was the reply that I got.
So I didn’t bother to check to status for a week I think? Hahahaha! It was July 18 when I visit the site again to check the status of my order. I was surprised when I saw the status of my order changed to ready to ship.
I waited for days again since it was weekend so I checked the site again on July 21 and I’m so happy that the status was already changed from ‘ready to ship’ to ‘shipped out’. Actually I also received an email about it together with the tracking details.
July 22 the package arrived in PH based on the tracking site they provided. UPS was so fast indeed but since it was a fast shipment the price will be higher than the others.
So here are the photos I took by the time I got my package:
Here's the timeline of my order:
Order placed: July 2, 2020
Confirmed payment made: July 2, 2020
Parcel shipped from Korea: July 21, 2020 (since there is a delay about the stock of the albums in ktown4u because of SM ã… ã… )
Parcel arrived in Philippines (UPS office Pampanga): July 22, 2020
Delivered to our house: July 23, 2020
Wow! Fastest delivery that I encountered other than EMS. Since EMS was still a hassle for me since I always get my package from post office and pay for 112php but for UPS, they deliver it right to our doorstep with no other fees. Wow! 5 stars for that!
*Hope this can help you to decide ordering to an online korean shop. And also please visit my review on Gmarket here: https://thelazyorlov.blogspot.com/2018/03/review-gmarket-minishop-synnara.html?m=1

The Sunday Currently Vol.5
May 31, 2020
May 31, 2020
Just another week passed by. Here I am writing again in my The Sunday Currently series.
reading blogs about skincare (as usual) and vitamins specifically the DHC vitamin c review which I bought on BeautyMNL last Thursday and still on delivery status to our house.
writing my 5th entry of my sunday currently series since I am still on work from home set-up and having enough of spare time to visit the blog. I’m thankful and happy that I can update the blog but feel so sorry for the loss of some people because of the COVID 19. Hoping that this crisis will stop as soon as possible.
listening to Avril Lavigne songs. It brings back memories in high school days (I think?! Haha).
thinking on how to work efficiently because I’m on shift today.
smelling the sweetness of the chocolate chip cookies that I’m eating. HAHAHA!
wishing still for good health of my family and friends, also for all the people that I know.
hoping that this pandemic crisis will end.
wearing my every day “pambahay” clothes, the peachy shirt.
wanting more and more food in our refrigerator/pantry. LOL!
needing more patience, these past few days I have been so easily annoyed by something or by someone’s wrong doings. Haha! Sorry about that. *peace*
feeling hungry all the time but still my weight is still the same (45kgs) nothing more nothing less :( Why is it so hard for me to gain weight? Maybe because I’m a picky eater? :( Send help! Comment down below. Hahahaha!
*Special thanks to the one who started this kind of series. Sunday Currently blog series was originally created by Siddathornton. Love yah girl!

reading a book hahaha! (Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov). Hoping that I can finish this today or either tomorrow.
writing my 4th entry for my sunday currently series since I'm on work from home set-up and that's why I have enough time for my blog these past few days.
listening to OPM songs more likely Apo Hiking Society. I miss listening to them because my phone is full of Korean songs.
thinking on what to eat because it's mirienda time as of this writing.
smelling the fruity flavor of the hair treatment that I applied on my sister's hair. LOL!
wishing still, for the good health of my family and also for me especially now that there's pandemic crisis which is the COVID 19.
hoping for better days and also for this crisis to end soon.
wearing my sleeping dress up to this time (3PM) (hahahaha! I will take a bath later) and my hair in a bun.

needing more more money please! It's hard to be at home, my mouth keeps craving for something delicious food and I can't resist not to buy. Ugh! Food is love.
feeling sleepy right now but I won't be able to because I have a work. Work is life and work helps you to earn money. If you have money you can buy the things that your family needs.

Random Thoughts #3
May 22, 2020
Why?
Simply because it's the things that brings you contentment and makes you complete.
I enjoy reading blogs most specially about skincare products and travel blogs. I think this is the reason behind on why I started writing blogs.
I'm not a perfect one when it comes to expressing my own views about what I'm writing but all in all I try my very best and put a lot of effort in what I do.
Sometimes, okay not sometimes it's most of the time I feel lazy and that's the reason why my blog is not monthly/weekly updated. That's the first reason and the second one is that I don't have my own PC/laptop to finish my write-ups as soon as possible. Most of the time I only use my phone to update my blog but for now I'm using my cousin's laptop (thank you! hahahaha! Promise bibili na ako!).
"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." - Oprah Winfrey
I love how the statement goes. If you have passion on what you are doing, you will definitely achieve what you are aiming for at the very start. Life goes on and so are you.
Keep doing what you love and makes you happy. In times you are alone and miserable just remember that every part of life, happiness will always come and you just need to wait for it and treasure it the most.
I will end this short blog with,
"You are the cause of my euphoria." insert BTS JK's song

Hope this blog will help you to decide on which facial mist will give you the glowing look that you've been looking for.
I already tried the hydro firming mist and rosewater glow mist. For the hydro firming mist, I really like the smell, it's like the breeze on the ocean and for the rosewater glow it gives you the feeling that you are in a spa. So far I manage to finished two (2) bottles of hydro firming mist, you see that I really like it and sooner or later I will purchase the green one which is skin mattifying mist to be able to test it out on my face.
Luxe Organix facial mist comes in 3 variants:
Skin Mattifying Mist
Rosewater Glow Mist
Hydro Firming Mist
They come up with an amazing product by the use of the ingredients indicated below.

Some of the details of the product are written at the back of the bottle together with the list of important things that the mist have.
Size: 100ml
How to use: Hold the bottle arm's length away to face while eyes and mouth are closed. spray mist on face then tap lightly and let it dry for 20 seconds. Spray as needed.

Hydro Firming Mist gives me a dewy finished looked every time I used it. This mist will be my ultimate favorite among the three (3) but we'll never know until I try the last one which is the skin mattifying mist.
Ratings: 5/5 stars

What I don’t like?
What I like?

Life with Books
May 21, 2020
Seriously speaking I'm not really a fan of reading books but later on, as time goes by I love to collect books.
I always read them when I have free time or whenever I'm done watching k-drama or any Korean shows (sorry, nothing or no one can stop me from watching this! HAHAHA!)
Back in the days when I'm still studying, we cannot afford to buy the books that I really want. The first book that catch my attention was the book that Demi Lovato (since I'm an avid fan of her) released few years back and I won't be able to bought it since we are not financially capable. This was the best part (being active on social medias), I would like to thank Seoul Government on Twitter for the $15 amazon gift card that I won on their giveaway contest. And also thank you ate Anne for the "pasabuy" on your Aunt, for me to be able to use the amazon gift card.
My 2nd book, actually I bought it because Lang Leav (I've been a fan of her since 2013 I think but sorry if it's the first book of Lang that I have) will have a fan signing event at SM Megamall but unfortunately I wasn't able to go there and that makes me sad. I really hope that one day I will be able to attend her fan signing event here in the Philippines. I already finished reading this book and all I can say is that Lang was the best! I love her work and also adore her so much! I'm sorry because I don't know how to write a review about books and I'm just sharing my stories about the books that I have through this write-up.
I've seen this book to one of the vlogger that I've watched on Youtube and actually the title of the book catches my attention and upon searching some bookstore here in the Philippines unfortunately it's not available. That's so sad but luckily my cousin went out of the country and I asked him if he can find me one of this. And there it goes, *charaaaannnn*!! Thank you couz! I've already finished reading half of the book but I hope I can finish reading it soon.
As of now, this was the last book that I have, thanks to my friend who gave me this book! I haven't started reading this yet but I will surely read this after I finished the other book (Why Men Love Bitches).
