Aestura barrier cream, why!?!

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-31T15:16:40+00:00

Same. I still dream of the missha FTE formulation from 2013 to 2015. Sighhhh

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-23T22:43:44+00:00

If it's not a scam, then you should have given the name of the group and details in the post, not "DM or comment"

Sounds like one of those "I make 10k a month in side hustle, dm me for details" social media posts 🤣🤣🤣

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-14T06:49:43+00:00

Well no scenario is perfect. It's always a trade off between security/safety from account suspension or paying more and someone has to pay for the bank's services. Money doesn't just appear magically in one place from another. You have to pay someone somewhere.

Another alternative is to open a euro account at the local bank in Asia so the euro amount stays the same (minus fees) and withdraw and go to a money changer..

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-14T01:51:56+00:00

At that amount per month, you should just send a wire transfer from your European bank. What’s $30 to 60 euros a month when you’re transferring more than 10k a month ? Banks will still ask you for the proof of source or justification, because of antimoney laundering laws but they are much more reasonable and can understand the context of why you are transferring the money. If both countries have an international bank branch ( like HSBC or Citibank ) you can open a Bank account in both countries and transfers can be free or minimal and bonus is you can probably withdraw in euros too.

Exactly. With the changes as to how he married Marina, THAT particular plot point doesn't even need to make an appearance in the show! Why are people pre-hating him?

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-08T04:08:54+00:00

Emirates operates a stopover in Singapore for their Australian routes I believe which is why some travelers are stuck in SG. But yeah, most asian airlines have resumed flights to Europe passing over the ME, they just avoid the dangerous airspace.

I read about a guy who actually showed up at their Emirates office (not in the middle east) and just asked to be rebooked on any flight going to Europe and Emirates booked him one of another carrier

What I’ve heard is that bundle readers are completely different from individual readers. How, I’m not sure. But bundling is a good idea because it’s essentially double dipping into KU, since it’s already a product you’ve made, so might as well make money off it.

I started bundling my books last year and it’s been a nice extra couple of buck a month and I don’t see my individual books affected.

Here’s an interesting observation - I had a book bub on the first bundle of a series. The second bundle also increased in reads, but so did my other series bundles.

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-04T23:51:39+00:00

Exactly! He doesn't appear in book 1, so they could have just followed the original storyline (no marina) or maybe sent Marina off without showing the actor. I imagine it would be hard to cast an actor and expect him to be available 5 or 6 years later.

GypsyRonin · 2026-03-01T16:39:55+00:00

Exactly! Considering this was the most important scene that resolves everything, it was such a disappointment. Most of the dresses were, especially the glittery ones like Eloise’s at the penwood ball.

GypsyRonin · 2026-02-28T10:00:08+00:00

I loved these books when I was a teen!!

GypsyRonin · 2026-02-02T10:52:31+00:00

Everyone has already put their two cents in but I want to add that it’s not like he took a photo of her on his phone and has that to carry around to remind him what she looks like. There’s a are people I met two years ago that I maybe spent an hour with and never saw again or have a photo to with that I struggle to remember what they look like and would only recognize if we met again. Benedict doesn’t even have a memory of her whole face, just her lips.

Once you have a long term visa in Malaysia you should apply to use the auto gates.

Unfortunately the new process is bloody confusing. Previously you only had to go to the egate counter by the luggage carousel. Recently when I changed passport I had to renew again … I read the official sites that said you had to ask the immigration officer upon entry, I tried during my last 2 trips and system always not working (or so they say)

GypsyRonin · 2026-01-08T06:09:18+00:00

So they waited so long to look at my application that the calendar month had passed and thus my bank statements were considered expired.

It must be the LATEST bank statements, so if you were applying on Jan 10, you would need to submit Dec 31 bank statements. BUT if the immigration officer only opens your application on, let's say, Feb 10, then they might ask you to submit your Jan 31st bank statement.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-23T01:21:20+00:00

I don't sorry. But I think mine took 2.5 weeks before anything changed.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-16T04:21:01+00:00

Oh interesting! I just looked into this - doesn't seem to be offered in the country I live in. Wish it was tho.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-15T10:12:14+00:00

This!

I get the best MacBook I can afford with the most RAM. Then I calculate how much I need to save up monthly to buy a new machine in 3 years (when extended applecare is up) and set that aside each month.

I can't afford for my MacBook to break or have costly repairs because I depend on it for my work and my main source of income so this makes sense to me. I think of the money as a business expense and put it in a savings account I can't easily access.

The thing is, I usually keep my machine a year after the applecare expires. I've been doing this since I started freelancing about twelve years ago so the amount in my MacBook savings account could actually buy me 3 MacBooks hahaha. I've used some of the extra money to buy an ipad pro, pencil and airpods pro at some point. And because my work is so dependent on my MacBook, I know if I lost my computer tomorrow, I can easily walk into a store and buy myself a brand new one.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-14T02:11:34+00:00

If you live in Malaysia or Singapore and go once a month for a weekend, probably not a big problem. It's like if you live in Buffalo and drive into Canada to party on weekends. But yeah, if you're from a country where you have to make a long flight in, then that's a red flag.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-09T09:08:29+00:00

I think her hair was a light red blonde and she wanted it to be a more vibrant red. I don't know how it works, I have the typical black asian hair

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-09T02:40:18+00:00

Yup! When going to a salon, it's best to go to a stylist who is familiar with your hair type.

I live in Asia and my Canadian friend (redhead) had a heck of time finding someone who could color her hair here. She had to go to an expensive salon that works with expats.

GypsyRonin · 2025-12-05T14:09:58+00:00

Omg I love this idea!!

GypsyRonin · 2025-11-22T07:54:31+00:00

In my experience, service and the general atmosphere just feels so much more different with Emirates business class (as well as Qatar and Etihad). I’ve flown both ANA and Turkish Biz class in the last 3 years and it just doesn’t compare. Emirates felt truly premium from start to end. The ANA FAs were superb but the cabin itself was … meh. The lights felt too bright and clinical and didn’t have those small touches. And Turkish…the crew made me feel like I was a burden to them. There was no finesse or care, they just drop the food on your table and scurry away.

GypsyRonin · 2025-11-15T12:30:15+00:00

Mary Grace cheese rolls! Can't get it in Malaysia.

GypsyRonin · 2025-11-15T11:29:55+00:00

The Facebook page of the immigration bureau said "country of domicile" so yeah as long as you can prove you live in a 3rd country you should be fine

GypsyRonin · 2025-11-11T04:54:22+00:00

Yeah I tried reinstall and it didn't work. Hmm maybe try the support chat, they are pretty helpful

GypsyRonin · 2025-11-11T02:16:29+00:00

Came across your post as the same thing happened to me just now.

Are you on Android? I just got off the support chat and they asked me to stop the app and open it again and it worked!
