Missing Home

I really do miss home. I am in one of the greatest city in the world, yet I cried today because I still miss my family, my loved ones, and Mr. Bun Bun.  Sometimes I just want to get a ticket and go home now, but I’m here for work and I cannot risk that. Success comes with many sacrifices. If you truly want something, you have to sacrifice. Life is never fair. When you gain, you lose. Even in mother nature there is Yin and Yang. When one side of the world receives light from the sun, the other is in darkness. You cannot expect everything to be perfect. Remember that quote I love so much?

“Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

Things may not all go according to plan, but that is the beauty of it. You can either do 2 things.

1. Be upset and moan and groan.

2. Accept the beauty of spontaneity and seek for an opportunity within it.

Life is all about embracing the imperfections in life. I’d like to call them happy accidents.


Ending with an emo photo of yours truly, and no I’m not going to jump you crazy loons.

Kindly,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,

    When are you coming to NYC? I’d love to meet you in person. I’m an asian girl from Queens NYC, I’ve been watching some of your youtube make up videos, and I must say you are a great makeup artist. Lets party if you are in town.

    I’m a huge fan of yours. But seriously? You’re traveling the world — Hong Kong, Miami, NY… and you’re complaining? How is that sacrifice? You don’t know the first thing about sacrifice, girl. When you work a 70hr week on your feet for 8 years to feed your family, then let’s talk about sacrifice. You’re incredibly blessed with brains and beauty; Be a little more humble.

    Hi Michelle,

    Unlike earlier posts by other people, these negates all negative views. You have inspired me in one way that is the most essential way to live: to be yourself and to take into account the things you love in order to be it. The key to life is to separate who you are from others and to live for your own sake, not above anyone nor under. I find the fact that you have NOT gone commercial and you share yourself ITSELF a very HUMBLE thing. You are striving and at the same time, you’re going to miss your roots, your home. How is that NOT humble? I feel bad for the negativity you experience but I know you’re the type of person who may read it, think about it for a second, then let it go. It’s all about exploring your own self and those who misunderstand your intentions…it’s never your fault. I also saw on twitter that crazy exes are stalking you. Stay safe, stay strong. Never falter in believing in who you are. That’s what you give, and thats what you must grow. Thanks for everything you share. You are truly an inspiring individual and it’s difficult to find many of those anymore…

    -Sarah

    Hey!
    I haven’t read your blog in ages and just realised you are in Hong Kong! I come from Hong Kong and live in both England and HK.

    I’m currently in HK for a long holiday =) I’m awfully homesick too haha. If you don’t find it weird let’s meet up!! I’m your biggest fan, I think ever since your toothbrush exfoliating videos haha.

    I’m here for a while yet, I’ll take you to some cool local places to eat, drink and take photos =)

    Michelle,

    Your videos and blog posts are really wonderful and I always enjoy checking in to see what you’ve got for us fashion/beauty “junkies” lol. Great quality tips and awesome ideas! You’re very artistic and it’s awesome you have your own skin care product line :) I’ve wanted to have a blog of my own for a while and after weeks of periodically seeing what you have going here on the internet — I’ve been inspired to go ahead and start one of my own! Thanks a lot for your inspiration :)

    Cheers,

    Veronica

    Lindsay Lohan you are not, cover those thunder thighs for fug sake.”

    Thunder thighs? Are you insane??? I was just noticing how very nice her legs look. (Nice shoes, Miss. Bunny.) All of Michelle is pretty, most especially, her personality.

    And I, for one, am glad she’s not Lindsay Lohan. I actually met Lindsay Lohan, once. She was rude and arrogant. (And maybe drunk.) In short, a jerk.

    Michelle is also better looking than Miss. Lohan is on her best day. And I’ll bet Lindsay doesn’t have an adorable Mr. Bun Bun waiting for her, at home.

    So yeah… Take that, Minh!

    @Electric Pinecone:
    You’re completelly right :D

    @Minh:
    Why don’t you post photos of your own legs you hater? For all we know you’re either chicken scrawny or overweight.

    Go away if you can’t say anything nice. You’re just jealous :P

    I wish I had the same make-up as you, all of it is the same as yours and my life, COMPLETE! You have so much make-up, and I know that your an artist as well, and so am I! I wasn't really into make up that much then I saw your videos. Lauren Luke is all right but you are FAB! Wish you all the best for the future :]
