Tendering Feet Mask Review + Thoughts on why we buy things despite it not working

First impression of the milk and bamboo vinegar peeling mask was the foot baggy thing was all wet and I thought it burst in the main or something. The foot sock thing was a little small for my feet (size 40.5) but it was able to get in. 

I actually did it on a whim because my foot felt really dry and itchy (I somehow thought it would moisturise it).

The gel inside smelled a little like milk candy and so I wore it. It was very cooling and I realized it was quite a big mess because it was literally a mask on the floor.

I Googled to find YouTube tutorials stating you were supposed to soak your feet in warm water for 5 minutes before and then cover your foot with a plastic and then a sock over it. I let it chill for a bit with my feet hanging off the bed until I had to pee. I found some random plastic bags and put it over my foot.

Caution: it was VERY slippery so I suggest to have everything ready first instead of how I did it. Also, the shedding starts a couple of days after so if there's any events that required your open toed shoes, it would be best to do the peel 2 weeks beforehand.

After putting the plastic bag and bedroom slippers over it, it was quite warm inside. For a moment, I thought I felt some tingling sensation but it might just be me overthinking.

After 1.5 hours, one of the baggy tried up like how a mask dries up. When I took my feet out it felt pretty moisturized. I washed the gel off and of course, be careful while doing so because it is very slippery. 

And after 3 days, there wasn't any peeling on my foot, so either 

1. It was not a real foot peeling mask 

2. My mask dried up 

3. I need to use at least a few masks to get an effect 

But I guess it did its job, for a mere 3 bucks, it wasn't much, but it gave me some time to let myself rest and allowed me to try something new. I recently learned about the psychology of why we buy things. It's mainly to have a shift in our emotions, so to bring us some sort of instant happiness.

At one point, the speaker showed us a picture of the human emotions scale, of how we'd want to move from the lower scale to the higher ones. But he didn't talk about the highest scale, 

Serenity of Being. He only focused about us being contented and happy after buying stuff, but it feels like people nowadays don't really care about being at the top of the frequency. 

Aren't we humans funny?

We search for happiness all our life, looking everywhere BUT the obvious truth.

A review for the iPhone Ads I've been seeing

I remember the first ads I saw, it said xxx (a typical Malaysian name) has switched to iPhone. I didn't think much of it, just that the ads seems to be made a bit childish.

And then the ads kept showing up on my feed!! With different people's Animojis with the reason why they made the switch to iPhone.

I'm sorry but what the heck? Who did the marketing for this time's ads?! As a person who isn't using iPhone, it honestly had deterred me from wanting to switch to it ever LOL

One thing about Apple is that it's supposed to be an innovative and luxurious brand. That was how Steve Jobs made it, anyway. But now.... It feels a little too desperate to me, trying to follow trends a few years too late and so. I mean, even their video on YouTube had the comments disabled. Maybe that's not a big deal but anyhow, Apple, I just wanna say that it's not working. + showing me the same ads everyday in a row is making it worse. Thank you.

Here's a link for the YouTube ad I saw. Tell me what you think :s

P/S: the said video has been released a week ago with 99, 233 views,

Review of Community the TV show (6 seasons) SPOILER: the shows reviews itself in the last episode

I finished six seasons of community. Prob one of the shows that didn't make my cry but I still finished it from ep 1-the last. The writing reminded me a lot of myself bc I always guessed what was going to happen except the really random ones. But in the last ep, I'm P sure he creator already wrote a summary and review for himself.. Haha. That show is just the stream of thought that was his and I'm glad I had the company of Community during my lockdown. I liked the inside jokes and everything and it did inspire me more to be a scriptwriter. But what the future bring, what do I know? #andamovie

The Sailor by Rich Brian Review (A little sordid but I liked it in the end.)

A Review-ish on Self Portrait by Sasha Sloan

I stumbled upon "Too Sad To Cry" from the Spotify playlist, "Life Sucks". Lol.

I guess I was feeling pretty bad and wanted to cry instead of keeping all my emotions cooped up inside. This isn't gonna be a critical review but more of an emotional one. The lyrics really spoke to me because I was feeling distant from God because of my sins. I didn't really know what to do with them. Although the song wasn't exactly my life because I don't see a therapist, it does feel like that.
Here are the lyrics copied from Google.

Wasn't raised religiousBut I wish that I wasHavin' nothin' to believe inHas been killin' my buzz

I was raised religious, but I didn't really believe in it too much before, but yeah it would be easier if I was very religious and perfect, but I guess life isn't all that easy.

Yeah, I cut my hair, close the blindsPlay Hallelujah like two dozen timesAnd yesterday, I tried to prayBut I didn't know what to say

It does feel like I'm distant from God the more I sin, because it's true. When I consciously do the things I know will end up with me in hell, it does feel depressive as hell. And when you sin, you just don't know what to say to God, even if you need Him. The relationship becomes severed in a sense, like a stranger.

I'm too sad to cry, too high to get upDon't even try 'cause I'm scared to fuck upDon't like to talk, I just lay in my bedDon't even try to go out with my friendsLied to my doctor, she knew I was fakin'Gave me some pills, but I'm too scared to take 'emI try and I try, but I'm too sad to cry

Well, I don't do weed regularly so I'm not high in the sense but I do think that I'm addicted to a different thing. I've been playing Blockudoku even when I'm tired or don't feel like playing. It's a sort of addiction just because it's habitual and I feel just like what she sings, that I can't control my own actions anymore. Depression just makes me want to lay in my bed forever.

Songwriters: Shane Mcanally / Henry Allen

I guess that's all... I tried to search for the songwriters to see if they have any other songs because of how much I related to the lyrics, but I couldn't find any. So I just played blockudoku while i cry as i lay on my bed.

The second song I cried to was surprise surprise, "Thank God".

It was about her being grateful to God for creating hell because she thinks it's where she deserves to be and can "be herself". I felt that too. I've been joking about going to hell because of my sins but it's only a joke because "it's only funny because it's true." well not really funny, I do feel depressive as hell because of that. I mostly cried because someone finally agreed and confirmed that yes, mortal sin will in fact put you in hell. An eternal fire of damnation, not just  a jokey joke that you say now. I guess being depressive as hell means what it means. Probably ten times worse.

For the rest of the songs, I didn't really like them so much, perhaps a 5/10?
I don't really know how to rate things, either I like it or I don't. I could see how it links up, I guess, with a sad song about overthinking,

"Thoughts",

and then

"Thank God", a realization that she'll end up in hell, an acceptance of a sort,

"Keep On", which was a more motivational song after accepting that we'll all end up in hell, perhaps to party on or something.

Then

"Dancing With Your Ghost", perhaps a previously written song because it doesn't go as well with the rest,

"at least i look cool" to continue glorifying partying on after being sad about exes for a quick 3 minutes. i also remembered the first time i was recommended this song on youtube, didn't like it too much, just vapid lyrics about our current generation.

"Too Sad To Cry", as described above,

then finally

"smiling when i die", to "finish off the song" per se. I didn't focus too much on the last song, it was alright I guess. the typical "i wanna die" teen mindset.

So that's my review for the 22 mins and 34 seconds album released in October 2019.

The problem with The Sinner (Netflix, 2018)

I started watching episode 1 from recommendations and it honestly, it was a hard one to sit through. The overacting, displaced storyline just couldn't pull me in. They should've started from the parents killed and slowly reveal the reason and how he did it instead of starting like their episode did. It was boring to sit through with filler shots.

But of course, this is just a premature review so I might be wrong about things :) Comment below and tell me what you think if you liked the show!

The Lost Thing and Cicada by Shaun Tan

I was supposed to edit videos because I've found that routine increasingly bogs me down lower and lower. When I was in Melbourne, I went into a bookshop and saw The Red Tree by Shaun Tan. Even though it's been almost two years, I still think about it from time to time. Today was one of those days. The graphics in the books and the short captions that say the most had left an imprint on me. I suppose I regret a little bit not getting it that time, but at least I took a picture of the cover to remember it by. However, I have to admit, RM 50 for a picture book is pretty pricey for a student like me, but I wonder if I thought about it so much, does it mean I should really have it?

Anyways, I looked Shaun Tan up to see his other books. So far, I watched the trailer for Cicada and The Lost Thing.

Gosh, tell me you didn't like it!! cus u can't.

"No sick day. No mistake."
This quote hit too close to home...

If you looked at the comment section, most of the school kids are commenting that they were shown this video for school. It's just a really ironic picture to me because I was an adult, halfway across the world (ok maybe I exaggerate because Malaysia is close compared to Australia) looking for the video. And the video rang true, yet again, with the kids being shown the video without grasping the full knowledge of it because perhaps they were too young to understand it or because they haven't gone through that dreaded path in life when you have to decide to give up your childhood dreams. :(
The lost thing inside all of us.
