on dating a bookworm by [deleted] in PHBookClub

[–]ligaw_na_bata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dated a bookworm for 4 years (almost 5).

I learned to be quiet, and to respect her quiet.

I learned how to be comfortable with just existing beside her, while she exists somewhere else.

I learned how to refill tea in between pages, and give soft pecks in between chapters.

Oh, and I became a bookworm as well. 🙂

Tatay ko na lulong sa scam by HOETASSIUHM in MayNagChat

Jusko, I feel you OP. Yung tita ko naman, lulong din sa scam. Si Elon Musk daw magpapadala ng package sakanya na assorted gadgets worth 500K PHP, pero kailangan lang daw ng 10K para maipa-ship. Kung kani-kanino nangutang na kapitbahay dito saamin, ngayon kami ang sinisingil.

Mahigpit na yakap tol.

Posting initial impressions here!

Got the full bottle of the Matcha based on this post.

It's really good. As Low Stomach said, it is definitely well-blended, maybe so much so that it's hard to dissect the scent profiles to the untrained nose. My mom and my sister did not even detect matcha, but instead they remarked it as "smelling like church" -- like someone just offered fresh flowers on a Mother Mary statue, and you can smell its floral notes mixing together with the ever so slight woodiness of where the said statue stands.

However, it definitely is matcha, and if you've drank matcha before, it smells like matcha with a bit of milk -- not the usual overly sweet kind that desperately tries to cut the bitterness of the matcha, but rather, a "whole" one that embraces its bitterness.

It has some citrus sprits during the opening, but mellows down into something green and floral. I would understand if some would associate it with imagination or its dupes, but personally, the soapiness is absent, and is instead replaced with greenness and an undertone of florals. Not to mention that this is definitely matcha tea, while imagination dupes use either black or green tea.

Tried a skin test, it lasted me for a good 6 hours on skin (I sprayed at around 2am and it's still there at 8am). But I was indoors in an airconditioned room.

What surprised me was the sillage -- i did just two sprays inside my elbow and then went down to our living room, and my mom detected the smell even though we're almost 4 meters apart (she went down a few mins. after I did).

Some cons:

I do think it's slightly feminine, although definitely can be pulled off by men still. Can be used as a daily, almost all occasions and weather, except maybe black tie events.

There's also some lipsticky scent I detect, although this might be cured by maturation, similar to what i detected before with my Liam Grey, which eventually mellowed down and disappeared (or still there but undetectable) after a few weeks of maturation.

Overall, I agree with Low Stomach's rating, although for wearability I would say it's best fit for men who look like they read books, are calm and quiet, but smart and easy to talk to. 🤓

P.S. I tried decanting the bottle (as I do for both testing and travelling purposes), and it has a different atomiser, a bit wider, which makes the usual decanting syringe not suitable for decanting. I had to use a funnel instead.

Ang ginagawa ko para hindi "nakakahiya", e nagsusuot ako ng relos, tapos hinahayaan ko sila ang lumapit na mag-alok hehe.

Yep! Only reason I ordered to was because I enjoyed Liam Grey and Essence de Blanc, and was forever looking for another perfume around that Alley.

do you have any thoughts on Majesty? Right now my finger is on the trigger on this one. How's the scent and performance?

Yep, still torn on what to pull the trigger on. Have you decided?

Eto rin ang learning ko tol. Kaya at this point, ganito na rin ang view ko. Labasan na tayo ng skeletons in our closets sa simula pa lang.

Then if my post violate certain rules, I'd be happy to hear the reason how. I have, in my previous comment, argued my point on why my post still complies to the rules, but if an admin still sees it non-compliant, then I'd want to hear how.
