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
awww…i’m away from home too…some days are easier than others…. just keep smiling =)
I’m away form home too for school… The internet and skype is an awesome thing and usually makes you feel better
cheer up Michelle~! I’m far away from home for study too
I knew the feeling being homesick! U ll getting through it 
I can perfectly understand you… i’m happy that i’m not the only one who feels like that… that means i’m not crazy!
Hope u’ll be better in these days! buy a lot of strange mukeup staff (for strange i mean all the asian brand taff which have very amazing product that you can’t find worldwide) that’s what i would do to cheer me up!
happiness has come up a lot lately. basically happiness is its own mountain, where once you’ve climbed to the top all your energy is spent to maintain that happiness, which can cause its own kind of suffering. it’s best to be content knowing that life offers you the opportunity to make your own path and succeed or fail but keep on living. if you ever reached happiness, could you be happier? how do you know you’re there?
that said, I’m not interested in make up but your videos have captured the hearts and minds of my housemates and me. your approach to these things is very hypnotic and soothing, and we love the way you sneak in these zen-like messages of encouragement. looking forward to more! enjoy your journey, Michelle.
Cheer up!
I know how you feel.. hang in there. Ýou’re just here for business so that means you’ll see Mr. Bun Bun very soon!
Meanwhile, you should really check out the shopping in HK!!! Don’t miss out just beceause you’re feeling a bit down. Have some good food, do a nice spa or mani / pedicure to pamper yourself and take a nice long nap (if your schedule is not too busy…) and you’ll feel better!
Take care!
I wish you all the best, all the strength, you can do it , enjoy
))))))
i hope you’re feeling better dear
you will be home soon, don’t fret! and just focus on how happy you’ll be when you get home to your loved ones and mr. bun bun! that always seem to make my travels go quicker 
Oh, dear Michelle, I’m sorry that you feel homesick but I’m also very happy that you are working on the thing that you love. I happen to think that to have an aim is quite a blessing thing.
I hope you’ll feel much better and get what you are fighting for!
Love you !
Sometimes, those “imperfections” can actually lead to something amazing, it just doesn’t seem like it at the time.
My family is in different parts of the world. In a way, I am always away from home.
Lovely quote. That’s what I live by.
this message is for Sandra….What you said is really unnecessary, why do you have to be so rude with your comment. Unless you’re aged 60+, what’s wrong with wearing a mini skirt and jacket with high heels?? Michelle, i think you look amazing and hopefully you don’t take any notice of such negative comments. May God bless you always.
to Sandra : Jesus would be more than happy to know Michelle is happy wearing what she loves.
to Peggy, I totally agree with you…
I know this feeling all to well. stay focused on what you came to do and time will just fly by, then you will be home soon enough!:) stay strong and positive.
I very much know what you mean
I’ve moved away from home and my family was my life and I miss them terribly.
Can’t wait till you come home! I am so proud that you are a very strong woman. Home will be there sooner than expected be patience and have the rest of a wonderful week.
Love
Thuy
I like the sentence u’ve said
and home sick is very common, just think about the good things ^^ think positive +++
You are right and guess what…… you just made my day….I was sad and upset earlier about sth but reading what you wrote just cheer me up.
I LOVE YOU michelle, I read everything about you and I thank god for giving you in this world (i’m serious). I feel so lucky to accidentally saw your youtube posts years ago and since then, i feel like we are best friend even we hvn’t met. LOL
I totally support whatever you do, it’s normal to miss your loved ones that much and cry, you know the beautiful thing is all your loved ones understand you (yes even Mr.Bun Bun), support you and they also missed you!
LOVE

wow, LOVE THE QUOTE. people always ask me why i’m always so happy… really annoys me because i’m not ALWAYS happy. makes it seem like i’m not human or something. i just like to stay positive.
haha, hongkong housing are so scary, cause you can actually jump off of them easily…
Success comes with many sacrifices
you’re really cute~ha~be brave~and insistence is everything~love you~
Hi MP, thats a great quote, you always have really great ones.
here’s one that you might like and its fitting for this topic
have fun in HK you’ll be home soon.
*When things don’t go as planned, I remind myself that I’m riding on an
escalator, not in an elevator. When an elevator breaks down, you’re
stuck inside waiting to be “rescued”… but when an escalator breaks
down it becomes a stairway. With just a little extra effort you can
continue right on to your original destination.
Where it is ?
photo location in HK?
Michelle,
While I have been following you since the very beginning (like what, 2006/2007?), I have never really responded to what you have said. Today, I will, mostly because you are reminding me of myself more and more. (I realize that it is funny, but I, too, always carry extra controllers and makeup brushes in my purse).
Day to day life is hard, especially away from home, no matter what. You have grown stronger over the years I have watched your videos and read your blogs. I would say that I’m proud, but I don’t know you that well. I think I just appreciate that a strong woman is putting herself out there as a positive role model for younger women! I hope girls who come to your blog or view your videos get more than just makeup tips.
Congratulations on making it this far, and I’m sure you’ll blister us with your brilliance in times to come.

By the way, Modern Warfare 2 disappointed me. I can’t believe they included dual wielding!
cool picture! ive never been so far from my family until now, when it was time for me to make my own family = ] we can keep you company!
Cute pose!
I want to travel for my work when I get done with this second round of college, I think it will be kinda hard for myself, but I will never know until it truly happens. and options 2.”Accept the beauty of spontaneity and seek for an opportunity within it.” Is always a great way to cope with stuff like this but you’ll be fine. and that Pose is great
thank you.
what do you work as? im looking for a job too but dont noe where to start
I’ve had that homesick feeling, too, Michelle. Don’t worry. Just try to enjoy your time in Hong Kong and in no time you’ll be back home with your close friends and family.
I also wanted to let you know how much you’ve inspired me. Before I knew about you, I didn’t know anything about makeup (and neither was I interested in doing my own makeup), but after watching just a couple of your videos, I became completely inspired by your sophisticated style and little messages of encouragement. I used to think that makeup was only for “girly girls” that only wanted to look older, but you’ve changed my opinion on that. Now, I think of makeup as an art form and enhances natural beauty, not cover it up. Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle. I don’t know you personally, but I’m so proud of you and how much you’ve already achieved at such a young age. Congratulations on your success.

You pay the cost to be the boss
You’re a very smart woman!! Hang in there, everything is so worth it. This was very inspiring, thank you so much!!
I miss my family too ever since I moved to HK from Canada and it is tough, but hand in there. You will be home soon~
Hi, i know how you are feeling! Im still a student but have been studying oversea since young and have to be parted from parents. Quite sad but thats how life is supposed to be. Nothing goes the way you wanted to go.
I know how’s you feel sis , but anyway you did a fantastic job in imparting your makeup skills and tips selflessly to the community – You are simple The BEST Michelle !
oh pliz sandra, get a life..
Michelle, wearing wat u wan is a way of expressing one self..
do not mind about wat closed minded ppl say.. =)
wil always support u.. cheers
=)
do not feel to homesick.. u;ll be home in no time.. meanwhile, enjoy..
How long are you there for?
I totally understand ! It’s been two years that I’m living alone for my studies, and I can only see my mom twice a year, so, I know how much difficult it is, but, remember one thing, I’m sure your parents would not want you to be sad or crying, so, smile for them. =)
SOMETIMES WHEN U LOOK PAST IMPERFECTION U MISS THE PERFECT STUFF
you are so adorable on that last sentence ^____^ hope you can come home soon to be with your family and friends and mr. bun bun :p in the mean time. Live Learn Love and Laugh. Enjoy and cherish what comes to you love. hope all is well

Michelle, I just wanna say congrats for you!! I think you are absolutelly talented. I love all your videos, they are amazing and you are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! Thank you for leting everyone see them!!
Homesick is really bad, but one day you will look back and see that it was worth it!!! Sometimes I feel the same…
Kisses from a brazilian fan!!!
I used to enjoy your video and blog posts Michelle. Yes your outfits were always sexy but tastefully so… then you resorted to cleavage videos and up-the-mini-skirt shots.
And now…random skanky photos?
It’s just really transparent.
I hope eventually your cute and artsy photos will return :/
where is your home? you are a gift in front of me so I am wondering
hey michelle,
it’s because I’m really really really homesick too, but I’m from hong kong, so I’m homesick for hong kong 
and I’m in the states right now, so it’s kind of like our roles are reversed 
I’d give anything to be where you are right now…but don’t worry, you’ll be home soon! How long are you going to be there for? 
check out the lanes in Causeway bay, they offer really really cheap things, sometimes the quality isn’t all too good but the fun is in the search! Oh and I’m sure you’ve already been to Lane Crawford in IFC? 
soo nicee, they offer really nice makeup there (well I’m sure nothing you can’t already get from the states, but still!) and I really hope you start to like it more… what business-ey things are you doing there? 
when I read this post I felt really compelled to comment even though I’ve mostly been a lurker before
I absolutely LOVE your attitude. I went through the same thought process when I was on the road for year for school, building up for my career. I was constantly home sick, but even though it was tough, I got to see places and do things I never would have appreciated if I was bummed out all the time. And trust me, it’s totally worth it in the end. Hard work is always worth it.
that’s one HOT pic
Ahh..homesickness is one thing I know all too well….don’t worry Michelle dear, once you’ve wrapped up your business there, you can fly home. Stay strong and keep those awe-inspiring videos rolling in!
Btw, love ur heels!!!!
It’s cool to have you here in Hong Kong. ^-^ And I can understand the homesickness. But like you said, there may be some good coming out from what you’re doing. Lol, I guess. It would be a miracle to actually just bump into you on the street. xD I love your picture.
What kind of work are you doing? I’m so jealous.
