BB Cream reviewed!

From Left to Right:
1. Missha watery BB Cream SPF 27 PAA++
Supposedly good for dry skin (which I have), leaves cooling effect, no rash, light liquidy. So far that's true, except it doesn't really give the skin the glow a bb cream should do.. It has medium coverage, no dewy glow :-(
2. Dodo Club BB Cream SPF 16 (?)
Best coverage, I use this as an alternative of using a foundation when I need to use one. But tends to make skin dryer due to its thicker composition. But it makes skin looks brighter, sometimes to bright so I have to blend well.
3. Faceshop blemish balm
Sadly no SPF, so I have to (when I'm not too lazy) apply SPF first and THEN the bb cream. But it's very light, doesn't dry up the skin too much, and it does gives a dewy shiny bright looking skin. If only this one has SPF, I'd vote this as the best bb cream. The coverage is medium.

Baby Maxwell Nolan

Yupe! The new bundle of joy is here, and I'm going to enjoy my recurring role as the cool auntie Nes! Especially because this baby was born on the date that I picked, 7 11 09 at 23.50. Even though my sister was planning to do her caesarian on 11th Nov, baby Max decided that auntie Nes' date was way way cooler :-)

And just for that reason, you could probably be my fave, baby Max. You just gotta prove it to me, that you could be more adorable than your super adorable sister :-)

Xpenser - be wise, track your expenses!


As a person who is a SHOPAHOLIC, it really is necessary to track my expenses, because most of the time I really don't know where my money went.

So I spent hours browsing for a good expense-tracking application for my blackberry, and I couldn't find any. They're all etiher too complicated, only for US users (currency and bank account only from US), and stuffs like that.

So I googled some more, and found xpenser.com
Well, it's not really what I hoped, per se, but it's close enough to help me do this. Xpenser doesn't come with an application that you install on your gadget. How it works is, we sent an email to a certain email, with the subject : "Lunch 54000 with babe" and when you check your xpenser account it will have Lunch as a type of expense, 54000 as the amount, and with babe as the Notes/Remarks.

The good thing is you can separate accounts, for example I have 2 bank accounts at BCA and Mandiri, so I can separate those. I can separate credit card bills if I want, but that's just way too many :-P *shopaholic alert*

All-in-all, until I find a better replacement, I'm pretty satisfied with xpenser.com. It's like blogging to blogspot using my email. (Email on gadget is a lovely thing, huh)

What does "Minimum Payment" mean???

So I got my bill for my Mandiri credit card, I spent 9 mil last month, I was about ready to pay for it until my eyes saw something that shouldn't have been there. 

Interest : Rp. 177k ???? How did THAT happen?

So I called the customer care, and he explained that those are financial charges because I didn't make any payment last month. But yeah, the bill from last month says that I owed them Rp 23,441, and THEREFORE the Minimum Payment was RP 0 (ZERO!) 
And because I didn't make my payment last month, the interest goes on the next month, and so I got charged for my 9mil spending last month. The hell??? 

Let me get this straight. Minimum payment says ZERO. And I still have to make a payment?? THEN WHY THE HELL YOU PUT ZERO OVER THERE?????????
Why don't just save us ALL this trouble and print Rp. 23,441 as the minimum payment?? Because in fact, THAT is the actual minimum payment!!!! 

I was freaking furious, and I told the customer care guy to request adjustment for next month, because I do not want to pay for those charges. And he's like, well there's nothing we can do about it, we have informed all customers that they have to make a payment no matter how small the amount is. WHEN WHEN WHEN?

And so I started reading the back of the bill, you know, those small-printed terms and conditions? Okay, it did KINDA say something like that, that customers get charged for whatever they don't pay. But come on... WHO ACTUALLY READS THOSE SMALL PRINTED STUFFS ON THE BACK?????

So I'm pissed because I think that's so SLY of them to do that. If you want customers to make a payment no matter how small the amount is, THEN state THAT! Do not put ZERO, and expect us to start reading the back of the paper!? I know a lot of banks that actually put the numbers down there instead of a FREAKING ZERO! *urgh!*

Nasi bebek ginyo di Tebet

Awalnya tergiur krn di sepanjang jalan di Tebet ini yg paling ruame, people lining up for food.. Got curious.. Ternyata seperti tagline nya: "kwalitet terbaik".. :-)
