The Ups (not) and Downs in The World of Online Shopping

by Ananda Rasullia - 1/31/2017 06:42:00 pm

That is a long title.

Well, the ups, um, maybe another time, but right now, I am just going to venting along (like what I usually do(LOL)) about *the downs*.

I am a huge fan of shopping via website, or in other words, online, and being tricked is not in my dictionary because I always do some check and re-check before I buy something, and asking bazillion questions is included in check and re-check. Even cheaper price cannot tricked me, until yesterday.

Phew, I disappointed at myself for not thinking twice before I bought a eau de perfume from one of the biggest Indonesia Marketplace, Bukalapak. I planned to buy Senswell EDP on Zalora actually, but Senswell is not available on Zalora anymore so I moved to the other marketplace instead. I met this account named senswellinternational and they are selling everything about Senswell. I actually kind of shocked (and also suspicious) when I saw the price because it was way much cheaper than in other places. AND YES I bought it immediately. *sigh*

4 days later...............

YEAY my perfume finally arrived! Um, excuse me, wait a minute, did I suddenly cannot read numbers? Because the expired date here said that this perfume has been expired since 9 days ago. Um, hello? Am I being fooled? Or am I?

How could I be so stupid?

Duh.

Goodbye, money. May you not rest in peace in that seller's bank account and do your revenge.

Ekhem. I am sorry. I mean, I hope it will not happen again.

I DID complain to the administrator and I also did not know why I couldn't attach any picture on my Bukalapak account, so I guess it will be a forever goodbye to my money. *sob*

So.

I moved on, okay?

I moved on from those expired perfume tragedy.

BUT, then there is something that come along in my way.

Besides being a buyer, I am also a seller. I have account on Prelo and I sell my pre-loved stuffs, like clothes, bags, etc. meeting some sadistic buyer when it comes to the price? Hah, don't ask me. I am already bulletproof. But then, come this one,

See, every time I sell something, I always write the specification of the product, like the bust line, waist line, etc. I also wrote on my Prelo account to READ the specification about the product before you buy so that you can measure it yourself.

There is *this* one person, bought two clothes from me and 3 days later, she complained HOW COME the clothes I sent cannot fit in her body.

Uh-duh, girl, did you even read?

Then I replied, "sorry, but I already wrote the specification. Did you read that before you buy?"

Then she said, "I did read, but the clothes cannot fit on my body!"

Really? Is that even my problem?

Then I replied, "well, sorry, I can do nothing about it, next time, make sure you read the specification first."

Then she said, this one shocked me the most, "can you please send me my money back? I will send you the clothes back. I cannot wear it anyway."

Uh-duh, girl (again), seriously? You want your money back because of your carelessness?

You cannot just send *the stuff* back to the seller because of your (the buyer's) fault.

Phew.

Well.

Guys, be careful when it comes to *online shopping*, alright? Even if you are a buyer or a seller. But remember one thing clearly, even if it sounds wrong, there is this motto, the customer is always right, so no matter what and no matter how annoying your buyer or costumer is, you must be kind and treat them well (treat them well? sounds weird). Even if they ask you bazillion questions about stuff that you sell (although you already write the specification clearly), you must answer them nicely. Well, its their money we are going to get. That's our goals.

The money. Muahaha *evil laugh* #moneyoriented

Alright, enough for today and ...

Bye!

I've been fighting acnes for years.........

by Ananda Rasullia - 1/25/2017 08:06:00 pm

I CRIED WHEN I WROTE THE TITLE.

well not exactly

But yeah, I have been struggling with acne probs, guys. Huhu curhat boleh yah. I have been wondering what should I do to get rid of these acnes? I have tried treatment in one of my aunt beauty expert, consumed some beauty tablets (something like no*rish skin and stuff), bought several face wash, but none of them gave me significant result.

Well, I was being dramatic. Actually, there IS something that brought me significant result. The doctor/beauty expert treatment and The Body Shop Tea Tree Series. THANKS GOD.

Before I am talking about those two, I am going to venting a little bit more. (maybe not really 'a little bit' cause this is going to be a VERY long post. That is ok, right? Right? Am I right or am I right?)

Ya know guys, the word "acne" is a total trigger for me. Every time someone ask me,

"OMG what happened to your face?"

"What? Acne?"

"OMG why are those acnes on your face?"

REALLY? PEOPLE? YA WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU? SOMEONE PLEASE HOLD ME RIGHT NOW.

sorry.

Yeah. I got triggered. Give me comments about anything, but my acne, I'll give you some death-stare and resting-bitch face 24/7. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FACE OK? Well, I actually know. I guess its in the family, you know, heredity, biologically, because my dad's fam also have oily skin type with a little bit acne powder. But the positive side is, they have light skin-tone. Ohohoho.

Oh yea, maybe its also because of my hormones. Hormones that causing acne, that hormones does exist, young lady.

SO.

Back to the treatment I took.

Back to the 2015 when I was still in doctor treatment. After a year 'consuming' the doctor's 'medicines', my face became bright, unusual white, and also super oily, like when a fly landed on my skin, they'll slip immediately, or like I have to use blotting paper every 5 minutes. But well, my acne all gone! UU I love that. I love my doctor.

But when I started falling in love with this treatment, I went to the beach, snorkeling for two days, smiling to the sun at 11 a.m., my face got WORSE than before. *cried in pain* And guess what? The treatment stopped giving me positive effect. In fact, it did not have any effect anymore.

So I decided to stop. They were not cheap, tho.

I also stopped meeting people, did not coming to some friends reunion, and stayed at home because of my face. Ugh. It was like, having those black spots on your face, and also acne, and also, like, another layer skin that was very...how can I say? Not very good (and not very smooth too).

please, not again.

*judging on all doctor's treatment very hard right now*

JK.....(not really)

After few researches through the internet, I found this Body Shop tea tree series. There are so much reviews about this product and they are all POSITIVE. How can I not ngiler??? Wth did I just say.

I talked to my dad ~~so he can bought me this pricey stuffs~~ LOL JK. No, actually, that happened. They are all pricey and I cannot buy them with my own money. ~~You know, college student.~~

At first, I bought the tea tree facial wash, moisturizer, toner, and tea tree oil. At the first 4 months, I did not feel like something BIG is already happening. NO. I give you a hint, I am impatient. Tots. So yeah. But then I think that this product is...um...what? Nature-based? So it may not work fast just like doctor's medicine or other chemical stuff. So I get myself together and be patient. Then I tried the night cream, which had no effect on my face so I stopped use it, tea tree clay mask, and also tea tree daily solution serum.

After 6 months, FINALLY, my face is getting soooooo much better than before. But I did not compare the result with when I was using the doctor's stuff, no, because I know it would be different. My skin got so much brighter and smooth! Like the baby's butt, and I don't need blotting paper anymore! I love this tea tree(s)! So much!

BUT SURELY, my acne won't leave me alone. why on the earth they don't just go away and find a new place to stay?! YOU FREAKING ACNE.

On December (which is my birth-month) I got discount for every product from The Body Shop Indonesia cause I am an LYB Fan Member, so I decided to buy Drops of Youth Concentrate. I almost got a heart attack when I saw the price, tho, but well, I got 20% free.

Yes, yes, and yes. This pre-serum is incredible. It makes my skin got even smoother than ever, and also bouncy. Nyaw :3 I love me (huh?)

BUT AS I SAID BEFORE, my acne did not leave me alone. I started to use the pre-serum every morning and every night (because it suggested) and my acne started to appear.............again. WHAT THE HHHH? I do not even know whether this pre-serum has some ingredients that give some negative affects toward acne, but I wrote this based on my experience. That sh*tty little acne. *tantrum*

And then I decided to take a break from this DoY concentrate and only use this every time I am going to go out somewhere. Eventually, my face get better, and again, smoother, bouncy, pinch-able...:3 nyaw.

Until now, late January 2017, I still have acne. I know, okay, I got it, hormones. But really? Do they have to come regularly? And please not leaving something like acne scars? Ya know, once in a month, I could think that I am ugly because of my scars, my acne, and all of the people that *REALLY* pay more attention to my acne. Wow. I am amaze of myself. LOL.

WELL WELL now. I am starting to realize that those skincare maybe already give me the best that they can do *AND I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT*, so now I am trying to do some little exercises at home, and also drinking tons and liters mineral water (does it sound right? liters of mineral water? whatever).

NO, ACNE, I WILL NOT GIVE UP. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD.

P.s.

Guys, if you have been struggling with acne too, it is really worth to try on some tea tree series on your face. And please, do not ever think that you are ugly, cause when I think of myself that way, I somehow got a little bit stressed, and had a bad mood, on literally everything. Ladies, we are beautiful and we will soon get rid of these freaking acne. *talking to the mirror*

YEA.
