PART I

Hello besties, hope youre doing amazing! this is a piece of smtg I wrote a long time ago, I just made some changes and I hope you like this time....

a/n: singledad!harry, main/oc, divorced!harry, co-parenting!, friends to lovers, co-workers.

sumarry: harry is a recently divorced dad and doesnt know what to do with his life, until he meets a beloved co-worker

For now, you need to pay attention to this equation. According to this theory - mathematically speaking - positive added to positive equals positive. This means that, if you have a positive action in your life and add some more, the result shall be positive as well, isn't it? You see, Harry started to work very early in his life to help his mom take care of their home. Late in school, he also had a part-time job so he could save some money for college. He was very into numbers, so he was planning to go to Computer Engineering in college just after he finished school.

But not everything is just the way we want, right? Harry has been dating this beautiful girl since his first year of high school. They started with a friendship when both noticed that what they felt was more than just friendship, so it was given a shot, and since then they got together. Add this sequence to your equation: Two young people in love, plus hormones burning in their skin after some shots of tequila, multiply to an empty bathroom. What do we have? Yes, an unplanned pregnancy. They were both sitting in Karen's bathroom when the test result showed two lines, just proving their theory. Karen told him about two weeks ago she didn't get her period yet. He said "Don't worry, everything is gonna be fine, yeah? You told me that things like that can happen. " He for the first time, wasn't right. Harry was always right about things. Karen was pregnant and devastated. Sure, she wanted to be a mother someday, but that didn't mean it needed to happen right now when there was so much ahead. Both did. They experienced devastation, and their parents felt disappointment as well. The four of them were. But still decided to keep their baby angel.

And thank God they did it.

She was their little jar of happiness and joy. Wasn't easy to get where they are right now. They sacrificed so much for this moment. Both worked hard, so it was possible to buy every necessary little thing for their little Cassie - short for Cassandra, Karen's gramma. Double shifts and sleepless nights for Harry while trying to get everything settled, Karen working on her projects as well as opening her little boutique. From nursery to study sessions online to keep on track. It was a nightmare for both until this exact moment when they held their little chubby-haired princess in their arms. She was such a pretty girl, a perfect mixture of his pale skin with the exact amount of melanin from her mother. Just perfect.

They got married when Cassie just began to walk. It wasn't a big ceremony, just signing some papers, and Cassie, who was only 10 months old when walked down the aisle where they stood while waiting for her, looking like two goofy. Cassie was holding a little box with the rings, and that was it. A perfect little wedding for a perfect little family.

Until they weren't anymore.

Cassie was 3 years old when her parent got divorced. Harry and Karen made the decision to have shared custody for the sake of Cassie. Weekdays for Harry, weekends for Karen. It was a decision for the three of them. Nothing bad happened with the couple for such a thing as divorce. Their wedding things didn't ring as right as one day did. That adolescent flame got colder, so it was the best solution. When they sat down to talk about it, Harry experienced a lot of hurt and they reached an agreement on what was best. After all, he loved Karen and what they had. After a while, he noticed what he loved was his idea of the perfect relationship they had. Nothing is always that perfect, but in his head, he constructed all they built - their home, their belongings, all the little things, and details... They made all of this part of their history, but they also crafted a story that will never be erased. So the happy ever after they promised is still valid, they will be happy even if they are not together anymore. Their bond was forever. They ended on good terms, so everything was fine.

Even being ungraduated, Harry is working in computer engineering in a little building in the city, it wasn't as he planned but, at least he gets the money he needs. Cassie is 4 now, she is a kindergarten and a very smart and energetic little girl. Sometimes Harry is still astonished by how much energy she has. That was Karen's side, because he loved calm and silence, on the contrary of his girls. Karen hadn't his for a while now, but she is the mother of his child so, somehow she was still his girl in a non-possessive way.

This particular Tuesday, the requirements and schedules were calmer than normal. His supervisor, Jonah, sent an email to his team informing them, that they had a meeting in the afternoon with a potentially important client. Turns out this client wasn't from the UK or any other English-speaking country, but a Spanish company, and to be honest the Spanish company called La Computacion, wasn't interested in a full English-only meeting. Not every single person in the entire build knew a second language which was a shame. Jonah found a last-minute translator so they could help them as soon as possible.

The meeting was at 3 pm, at 1:30 pm the translator was already there. Some co-workers weren't very comfortable with the foreign company, and many of them whispered ''Doesn't make sense, why they didn't get an English translator?" Harry was beside this particular worker and said

"Well Conan, it's not their fault if you decided not to study another language"

"Oh, you did study then?"

"I haven't," he confesses "But you didn't see me complain, did you?"

"You're such a little thing, Styles. That's why no one likes you. "

Harry just rolled his eyes and left the cafeteria straight to the conference room where the meeting was about to happen. When he got into his seat, he looked around the room seeing some familiar faces, sometimes nodding in a silent 'hello'. He kept looking around when he saw it, right there in the right corner, sitting facing the marble table while reading what seemed to be noted, a tall golden skin with wavy hair, looking attractive as hell just by existing. The sight of it, right there in the right corner, sitting facing the marble table while reading what seemed to be noted, a tall golden skin with wavy hair, looking attractive as hell just by existing, enchanted him.

Jonah entered to room, went straight to the table where the lady was, and opened his computer typing something fast, suddenly the white screen plugged in lit up, and three unknown faces showed up. The lady stood up beside Jonah, who had been sitting in the corner until then.

"Good afternoon everyone," everybody responded and, he continued, "This is Rebeca Rojas, our translator. Miss Rojas has worked with Mr. Sabino for a long time now. While I was panicking about adjusting this meeting, Mr. Sabino indicated to me, Miss Rojas. Believe me, when I say she is a life savior," he said laughing, the room joined him, so he continued, "Please Miss Rojas, introduce yourself"

Rebeca started to speak. She explained she was a translator, and teacher, and interpreted in her free time. She works for a publishing company as a translator of Latin languages. Just after her presentation, Mr. Sabino started to speak, and so did Rebeca. As Sabino spoke, Rebeca translated right away. He could swear, he was in love with her voice. She sounded so smooth, she was so quick and so interactive. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a new platform they were trying to create for another company. And Sabino's company would sponsor their project. It would take some time since what they were proposing would take a lot of work, and when I say a lot, I mean it. It was an extensive project, with interactive pages, online consultors, and the options go on and on. The meeting lasted at least 1 hour and a half. In the meantime, Miss Rojas spoke non-stop. I mean just a few times to sip water. Harry keeps thinking he could never last the way she did.

Everybody was leaving the room. Harry waited so he could introduce himself, he had to admit it, he was feeling kinda shy. It was a hard-working woman who spoke more than one language, more than he could be someday as a human being. Was he exaggerating? Yeah, I think so.

"Hello," he said, giving his hand for her to shake. "My name is Harry, it's a pleasure"

She smiles and shakes his hand. "It's a pleasure Harry. You're good?"

"I'm great, what about you?" she nodded saying she was fine "The conference was just incredible. I'm glad I could join...So I wanted to ask you, you mentioned you're a teacher right? You only teach Spanish?" she nodded.

She smiled brightly and answered,

"Well, yes, I'm a teacher and all my work involves the romantic languages, and English, and a bit of German. I'm not that good, but I'm trying," she laughed.

Harry could barely contain himself. Her laugh sounded like Christmas bells. He was just so impressed and being this beautiful...Got him right in the stomach.

"So, like..." he said, but she interrupted it

"Harry, I'd love to talk to you, but I kinda need to go. You know...paperwork," she said rolling her eyes.

He nodded "Oh, sure. Let me walk you out?" he said, offering his arm, which she gladly embraced.

After that, he went back to his own shit. But his mind was far away.

well thats it, lmk your feelings and if you maybe wants to read the second part or so...anyways

keep shining, i love you!!

okay, i just watched The Substance, a psychological horror/thriller + body horror film I HIGHLY recommend - so many spoilers!!

for anyone who doesn’t want spoilers, have a good rest of ur day and take care of yourselves <33

take a pic of my cat Luna for your troubles :3

OKAY SO THIS FUCKING FILM- I COULD LITERALLY GO ON ABT THIS FOR HOURS

THE WAY IT WAS SUCH A MASTERPIECE IN WAYS I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!!!

Like, it’s rare I watch a movie and think “yeah, i have absolutely zero complaints and i would watch this over and over until it’s seared into my brain” — BUT THIS HIT EVERY MARK!!

THE GORE & BODY HORROR - INFINITY/10 BECAUSE OH MY GOD???? ME AND MY MOM WERE JUST OVERJOYED ABT THE GORE AND MY DAD JUST COULDNT HANDLE IT- HE WAS PHYSICALLY CRINGING BC OF IT - IS IT THE MOST REALISTIC SHIT? OBVIOUSLY NOT (i would be more concerned if they perfected gore to look realistic ngl), BUT THE SHEER AMOUNT OF IT AND THE SOUNDS AND THE WAY YOU SEE IT AND THINK “oh god, that would fucking hurt” THE SHIT THAT MAKES YOU CRINGE AND SHIVER AT THE THOUGHT OF!

THE CINEMATOGRAPHY - 10/10 - THE CUTSCENES, THE LIGHTING, THE WAY IT REALLY SHOVES THINGS RIGHT IN YOUR FACE AND SAYS “Look at this! Look at the horrifying things this woman is doing to feel like she is enough! See in 4K how she destroys her own body to keep the only thing she knows gives her worth, the only thing that makes people find her worth talking to— her body!” My mother suffers from chronic migraines so yes, the amount of flashing lights in it can be a bit jarring (so warning for anyone who is prone to seizures or is light sensitive). But to me it doesn’t feel like it’s too overdone, like many horror films tend to do with flashing lights— it makes sense why those sequences are there, it makes sense why they choose the lighting, to me: it makes sense and seems to align with the story

THE ACTING - DEMI MOORE (Actress who plays Elizabeth Sparkle) FUCKING POPPED OFF WITH THIS?!!??? AND MARGARET QUALLEY (Actress who plays Sue)!!! GOD, THE WAY I COULD FEEL THE RAGE WHEN SUE WAS CHASING ELIZABETH AROUND THE HOUSE! THE WAY ALL REASON WAS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW AND ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO TEAR HER OLD SELF APART BECAUSE IT’S EVERYTHING SHE LOATHES! THE WAY IT’S INGRAINED IN HER THAT SHE IS ONLY DESERVING OF BEING ALIVE BECAUSE SHE’S BEAUTIFUL! AND ELIZABETH— GOD, THE WAY I MY HEART WRENCHED WHEN SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR WHEN PREPPING FOR HER DATE WITH FRED! THE GOING BACK AND FORTH, THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION AND SENSE OF DOOM BECAUSE SHE ISN’T THE “BETTER VERSION OF HERSELF”!! THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT THE BILLBOARD OUTSIDE HER WINDOW, THE WAY SHE MOCKED SUE’S INTERVIEW, THE SHAME SHE FELT FOR HER BODY BEFORE SHE USED THE SUBSTANCE— AND EVEN BY THE END OF THE FILM, IT NEVER WENT AWAY! IT WASN’T FIXED, SHE STILL HATED HERSELF. BUT SHE REALIZED TOO LATE THAT SHE RUINED NOT JUST HER BODY BUT HER QUALITY OF LIFE BY THE END! THAT SHE WAS LETTING THE NEED TO FIT THESE IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS CONTROL HER LIFE! OH MY GOD AND DENNIS QUAID (Harvey’s actor - the guy who fired Elizabeth and hired Sue)?!? LITERALLY JUST PLAYS THE “PIECE OF SHIT” PERSONA SO PERFECTLY!! THE WAY HIS CHARACTER IS SO DISGUSTING- AND NOT JUST BEHAVIOR WISE! THE FACT HE DOESNT WASH HIS HANDS AFTER THE BATHROOM OR THE FACT HE EATS AS LOUDLY AND MESSILY AS POSSIBLE WHILE FIRING SOMEONE, THE NONSTOP SMOKING — BUT ALSO HIS MISOGYNISTIC JABS, THE WAY HE ONLY WANTED TO HIRE A NEW, YOUNGER WOMAN BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT ELIZABETH LOST HER “SEX APPEAL” AND ISN’T SOMETHING THAT FITS THE MALE GAZE!! HIS LAUGH IRKS ME IN A WAY I CAN’T DESCRIBE! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!

THE PLOT OVERALL & THE MORAL(S) OF THE STORY - INFINITY/10 — LORD I AM TOO TIRED TO TYPE ALL OF THIS BUT FUCK MAN, IT REALLY REALLY HIT ME. Especially after the elections, knowing that our fucking president looks at women and says “your body, my choice”, this really hit hard for me. The way that the body horror truly encapsulates just how horrific the reality is for women who are popular in the media- the things they feel like they have to do to survive in such a toxic and disgusting environment! Women have been told that all their worth is dependent on their bodies, their beauty- but The Substance truly shows just how much that shit can affect us, shows how much it can hurt your mental health- which will, in turn, affect your physical health!

god, this movie truly was a masterpiece and i highly recommend it to anyone who likes psychological thrillers/horrors & can handle watching body horror! i’m fucking exhausted, and i’ve had such a shitty week- and while this doesn’t exactly give me any hope for our future, it does show that we aren’t alone in our struggles. even the people we admire, whether it’s an actor or a content creator in general, struggle with accepting their flaws and not letting society determine their worth based on such shallow and superficial things.

maybe my ramble is a bit silly and a bit all over the place, so i’m sorry for that, again i’m fucking exhausted— but i had to post abt this

AND I NEED TO POST ABT THE GAME MOUTHWASHING SOON BC THE HYPERFIXATIONS ARE SO REAL!!

But anyways, if anyone read this far, thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day <3

#the substance #the substance movie #the substance 2024 #soupy thoughts #soup rambles #tw body horror mention #tw for descriptions of gore #love you guys #take care <3

Hi me again tell us about our favorite lolita lady Chidori Yoshino

in what way ?? i assume u mean hcs so let me crack my knuckles n get to work

first of all this ask i got a bit ago about p4au/post canon chidori is basically how ive begun to view her in my head so big shout out to this anon. we miss u & ur chidori brain

another thing i mentioned in this same ask, and an idea i’ve generally fallen in love w, is chidori growing on everyone & becoming their friend whether she likes it or not 😭 since we barely see chidori after she survives, & barely see her outside the context of the plot and conflict, it’s hard to get an accurate grasp on how she would act in a situation where she’s allowed to be like. Normal basically

i think she would be withdrawn and not much of a talker, somewhat irritable, but having the freedom and space to do what she wants i think would make her softer. + junpei trying his hardest to be the best bf in the world for her would ease her nerves and anxieties bc he’s so silly she cant even be mad. gets her flowers every week (picturing junpei looking up the meaning of certain flowers so he can pick out good ones for her) (i think yukari would also be there helping him out, fuuka also probably)

speaking of yukari & fuuka, to elaborate more on when i brought up everyone else beginning to like chidori, i think yukari & fuuka would probably be the first ones to attempt to get to know her. again, kicking junpei out of his own apt so they can hang out with his girlfriend… it’s too perfect. i mentioned that i think yukari would love chidoris style because it’s so different, and i still stand by that. meanwhile fuuka would prob be more interested in her art, but either way, they would show an interest in her & i think chidori would eventually let her guard down enough to become friends w them. tho, i still think yukari would probably do most of the talking, fuuka weighing in a lot, and then chidori says like 3 words per hangout 😭 they love her

i think everyone else would def treat her with respect bc she’s junpei’s girlfriend, & she’d be a little confused at first at how nice they are to her. i can actually imagine her and aigis chilling bc i feel like both of them can (chidori would get to this point imo) appreciate more of the beauty in life and the world & whatnot, so they don’t really even need to talk. just sit and bask in the world

mitsuru aki & shinji (considering hes alive as well) would like her methinks. tho i feel they’d prob talk to her the least. what she did for junpei (giving her life to him) would prob make aki like her a lot LMFAO i think out of the three, he’d probably be the one to have a soft spot for her. i can also picture ken & koro hanging out at their apt for junpei but ken has no clue how to talk to her & she doesnt know how to talk to kids so they just awkwardly hang out around each other. koro loves her tho. she finds out shes good with animals (and any living thing)

#ask #anyways #i love chidori btw #i need to replay bc i want to get a better grasp on her personality #i never really thought so much about how she’d act post canon so forgive #junpei just wants all of sees to love his gf #& i think they eventually do #its kinda hard not to when shes dating Their junpei #they prob tease him a lot about her #he getting cooked daily by yukari shinji and akihiko (& aigis but she has no clue shes very much roasting him)#p3ask

I literally can’t stop feeling embarrassed in public. Do u have any advice on not caring what people think about u? It’s so exhausting walking around feeling like I have to be seen as ‘perfect’ or to impress literal strangers!!! Like I just wanna live life and not feel like I have to perform at every moment I’m in the company of others. Pls help xox

these random ppl are literally barely even noticing ur existence. and i dont mean that in a bad way or in a way that reflects on u, im just saying that we are all in our own heads and not paying that much attention to strangers in our day to day life. no one is analysing ur every movement. it might feel like it but u know deep down they arent and that its just ur anxiety playing with ur head.

also a good thing to keep in mind whenever u get that anxious feeling that u might have ”embarrassed urself” or ”looked weird” or whatever is that none of these strangers have any idea who u are. they dont even know ur name. u will most likely never see any of these ppl ever again and if u do neither of u will remember each other anyways lol. their perception of u has literally zero impact on ur actual life. maybe u tripped while walking past some random stranger and they saw u trip, sure in the moment u might feel a little embarrassed and awkward about it, but then what? u know this stranger wont even remember it like 10 minutes after bc it was an extremely minor incident that u know their brain barely even registered for more than 3 seconds. u also know that u wont even remember it urself tomorrow, it has zero impact on ur life. like just tell urself ”whatever these ppl have no idea who i am and will probably never even see me again anyways so it doesnt even matter what they think bc we are no one to each other” and then just tell urself to let it go and shift ur focus to something else. bc u know that this is just ur anxiety and insecurity gnawing at u and this is a fleeting feeling and moment anyway.

id also like to add that, assuming ur a woman, ur not alone in struggling with this. ALL women experience these thoughts and feelings to some degree bc we are all conditioned to take up as little space as possible and to always have other ppls (specifically men, but not exclusively men) perception of us in mind. google that male gaze quote right now babe. the margaret atwood one and the john berger one. it will help u see this phenomena more clearly and u will relate to it and maybe gain some insight into how u percieve urself and how what these feelings and insecuritites are rooted in and u will be like u know what? fuck that. like ur approach to this will start to change once u have gained this perspective and might even make u feel like rebelling against it which might help u to free urself from this.

u dont need to be perfect. i want u to be free and messy and loud. i want u to be imperfect. imperfection is peak beauty. women are wild and messy. thats the beauty in us. its the rawness and realness in the most gorgeous form. embrace it. be free and carefree and do u. love u queen <3 if i saw u literally laughing hysterically to urself in public i would be like oh she gets it shes the vibe i love her so much like BE FREE GIRL LET GO LET GO

#i wish i could just take u out in public w me and make u watch me act a fool from a distance and then just laugh about it together #and i could analyse u myself and tell u all the amazing little details i see and find gorgeous in u #im an expert at it honestly im very good at.. seeing lmao

Finally finished NATLA. Thoughts:

They ruined Yue's character. Why would a princess be helping casually in the kitchen. Why would a princess display 0 manners around someone she just met. personality completely different.

They had Yue faint repeatedly just to magically sit back up when they needed an exposition dump, then faint again.

They made Hahn a good person? Why is Yue suddenly a waterbender and traipsing around the spirit world? It doesnt add anything and feels out of place.

The interactions between Pakku and Katara were stilted and forced. In the cartoon she had a training period and earned his trust, but here it was just instantly granted that she was the person to report to during battle, yet she doesnt know AQa's defense layout or anything else because she just arrived.

battle pacing in Agna Qel'a is weird. too much standing around talking.

The dialogue is so Marvelized. quip quip quip quip quip.

Aang is joyless and talking like Iron Man. (not the actor's fault.)

Zuko is perfect, 11/10. Every change they made is perfect.

Combining arc beats (e.g. Jet + mechanist) worked surprisingly well.

They made Bumi into an asshole and his dialogue was repetitive, that arc dragged out way too long.

Wasn't atmospheric enough. everything felt like a set.

How did Momo, half the size of a housecat, push that girl out of the way? physics are not mathing.

Why did they take Momo to the spirit oasis to heal but not any of the battle participants or injured civilians. Scene ate too much screen time and sapped urgency from the battle. Makes AQ'a look stupid.

Jet was perfect.

Multiple issues with logic, too long to post. Writing is shallow.

Azula is snarking to her father too much considering she just watched her brother get half his face melted off for one instance of disrespect.

Pecs. 🙏

not enough in-series justification for why Ozai wanted Zuko out of the way in favor of Azula. We know why, but they aren't standing on their own for this beat and have to lean on the cartoon.

Katara and Sokka getting btfo by Koh felt... really strange. they were just there to job and create stakes.

Kuruk and Kyoshi were great inclusions.

Jee/the 41st was a great detail, best part of series.

Azula being the puppetmaster behind Zhao is strange. She knows things by magic I guess, they made a 14 year old girl not just plausibly cunning but straight up omniscient. Logic breaking keikaku doori with her and Ozai.

Ozai using AQ'a as a distraction to take Omashu makes zero logical sense and I don't want to write an essay so just think about this for 5 minutes. I almost screamed.

bf's contribution: "this feels like it was written during the writer's strike."

Visually it was beautiful and the scenery and costumes were great. Other than Yue and Pakku the actors were all fine. Zuko's actor was beyond perfect and his firebending was next level gorgeous.

Sokka's new backstory was a good inclusion. Sokka got a lot of great scenes and the actor is a perfect fit.

Gyatso was also astonishingly perfect. chef's kiss to the actor, his performance was beautiful.

Very much noticing the Kataang scenes were all removed and we got some Zutara allusions. I ship that so yay.

The Sokka/Suki scenes were spicy. However she removed her makeup in 3 seconds flat and that broke my immersion. Please ask a woman next time. otherwise yes I ship that. Just kiss already!

I like the beautiful older lady they put in charge of Kyoshi Island. Nice to see more females in leadership positions.

The lack of the Azula chime is criminal. Her using feminine charm to lure rebels into a trap was a great scene to introduce her. Glad to see rebels, it makes it feel more politically realistic.

The opening scene in ep 1 had Mulan's opening scene vibes in a good way.

Overall: enjoyable with a few caveats but writing quality falls apart upon critical inspection. Much better than I expected, rewatch-worthy. 8/10.

'Love Is Sweet' - my perfect romantic escape (W/ quick review of Ep1-3)

Things have been wildly crazy at work and the world is fuckin depressing place right now. And I dont have the power to fix anything!

Sometimes one just needs to cope - which is when I found myself going back to this frothy, ultra cute cdrama that I had started last year and dropped because was busy etc.

Starring the ridiculously talented pair #louyanxi and #bailu, this workplace romcom is set in the world of investment banking. There is nothing unique, or spectaular or remotely distinctive about this - but these two JUST MAKE IT WORK.

I am a big sucker for frenemies to lovers and this show is the literal trope.

Main premise is this:

Jiang Jun has a major tear allergy which can cause her to die (don't ask) so she literally cannot be allowed to be sad or cry. Yuan Shuai is her childhood neighbour, friend and designated guardian (literally's Jiang's parents paid him through their entire schooling for him to take care of their daughter and make sure she doesnt cry). A falling out in high-school years, and they lose touch for a decade.

The love story begins when Jiang applies for an investment banking for a job where Yuan works. Lots of banter, old grievances, fiery chemistry (I mean, these two have no concept of personal space) and the dude simping for the girl for many episodes straight. Just divine.

Not a finance expert but am pretty sure investment banking does not work this way, the side plots just add to the length of the show - but Bai Lu and Lou Yanxi make it SO watchable.

Quick review of Ep 1 thru 3

The first three episodes lay the foundation for whats to come and also give context to the whole lovestory.

Jiang Jun is a bright, ambitious girl and really enterprising in getting what she wants.

That investment interview is hilarious and stupid and am sure nothing like the real deal

The main couple are besties who had falling out . The ML and FL have done a fabulous job of relaying both the familiarity and the awkwardness of old friends when they connect. Their banter is so well-written and acted out. You feel you are literally prying on a couple

We are clearly told that Yuan Shuai is ridiculously protective of her and this is something that's been ingrained since his childhood. He is obviously very much in love and to see him be such a goner around her is so, so sweet. ((1)Whole taking care of her when she has her period, which is such a popular cdrama romcom plot trope, was so so beautiful and cute (2) dude literally adopts a dog that she wanted to foster)

While they have professional & personal differences, and there is one-sided love, they are still at the root good friends - which I think is super healthy

Yuan's move to try to manipulate Jiang into a different job than the one she wants, and try to make her move across his apartment (ostensibly because he wants to make sure she never cries/or he loves her..??) is just NOT OKAY. I hope they address this soon.

Gao Hunyu (the other investment banker) is obviously coming in for the love triangle - but does he really have a chance with people who have always known each other forever and basically already love each other in the first three episodes...(one knows it, one doesnt)

HELLO I AM BACK. AND SO IS MY COMPUTER BITCH. LEMME DIVE INNNNN.

The smile on his face that could never be directed at you, is directed at her. The love and the longing in his eyes that always lingers when she is around. She who had stolen his heart from the very first moment they saw each other. She who had always kept his heart even when she left him for the one she is smiling at now. She who will always be the one he will look at.

HWAT THE FUCK ANDY. I JUST STARTED READING IT AND WE'RE ALREADY FUCKING UNDER ATTACK. DUDE.

Right. You’re here because of him. You don’t know why he feels the urge to drag you along to every group hang out. No one wants you around, you don’t even think that Robin wants you here, she barely talked to you since you came here. And the longer you sit in Steve’s living room, with an untouched can of coke on the table in front of you, surrounded by people who most likely cannot stand you or your presence, you wish more and more that Jason should have dragged you down with him. STOP YOURE MAKING ME SO FUCKING SAD IM GONNA DIE.

You don’t belong here, you don’t belong anywhere. BUT SHES SO GODDAMN RELATABLE OH MY GOD. I FEEL YOU BLONDIE. I SEE YOU BLONDIE. IAM YOU BLONDIE!!!!

You fail to notice the disapproving look on Steve’s face, the way he tensely straightens up, slowly getting up as his brows knit together, more and more, watching in disbelief how you make your way over to Argyle. OH MY GOD LITTLE ANGEL STEVIE IS SO WORRIED SHUT UP EVERYONE SHUT UP.

“She can’t smoke or drink! Her doctor said it loud and clear, and I warned you before!” He points at him. STOOOOOOOOPPPP. HE WARNED HIM BEFORE?!?! THIS LITTLE IN LUV IDIOT. HE JUST DOESNT KNOW IT YET!!!

“Wow, you do worry about me, Harrington. You weren’t lying.” EVEN I FEEL GIDDY OVER HERE EVERYOEN SHUT UP GOD I LUV THEM SOSOMUCH!!!!

“Sit your ass down, Blondie and drink your goddamn coke, don’t even think about weed or–” “No weed, no beer, just fucking coca cola, got it, mom,” you roll your eyes at him and slump back in your previous seat, crossing your arms over your chest. LMAOOO THEY R MAKING ME CRY. ALSO AT LEAST SHE CAN HAVE COKE.

“Goddamn brat,” he mumbles under his breath. “I heard that.” “Good,” he snaps at you. OH FUCKING HELL NOW I NEED HIM TO SAY THIS IN VERY VERY DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Sometimes you feel like a creep, watching him and adoring everything about him, from his sun kissed skin, to his beautiful eyes, to his perfect hair, to that one smile that he blesses only those around him that he cares about – something that you will never get. GIRL I DONT THINK YOU'RE A CREEP I'D GAWK AT STEVE TOO. but that last fucking line?!?? we're back to sad again JFCCC HELPME.

“Keep your pity to yourself, Blondie. I’d rather never see you again than see you when I don’t have to.” okay im just gonna kms EVERYONE ABORT.

“Listen uh, that was mean,” he starts, now struggling to look into your eyes. He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, tugging at his hair. “I shouldn’t have said that.” UHUHHHHHHH IM GONNA FREAKING CRY.

“Bye, Steve.” GOODBYE NOW I WILL CRY. You turn the other way, towards Hawkins cemetery. and noW IWILL CRY EVEN MORE.

OH FUCK ANDY THIS CHAPTER WAS SOOO GOOD. I LOVE THE WAY U WRITE THEIR DIALOGUE. HOW FAST IT SWITCHES FROM FLIRTY, ANNOYANCE, FULL MEANNES AND JUST FUCKING GUT-WRENCHINGLY SAD.

BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AS AL-FUCKING-WAYS. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE ILYYY <3

Series Masterlist ⭐︎ Previous Chapter ⭐︎ Next chapter

♡

The living room is crowded, at least it seems that way to you. You aren’t used to being around so many people. You didn’t want to come here, but you had no choice when both Eddie and Robin had showed up at your house earlier today and practically forced you out of the house.

Now you sit here, sinking deeper and deeper into Steve Harrington’s couch, feeling uncomfortable and out of place. You’re playing with the loose string on the hem of your shirt as you look around the room. Robin is snacking on the m&m’s Eddie had brought as she’s looking through the pictures Jonathan had taken of her and Nancy just now. Eddie is out on the patio, smoking a cigarette and talking to Argyle who will leave for California in two days. Jonathan is staring at the screen watching some music video that is playing on the MTV channel, his pupils are blown and his eyes seem heavy, he is high out of his mind and for once, Nancy doesn’t seem to care, with her legs thrown over his thigh, she’s sipping on the beer that Steve handed to her a few minutes back, she is talking to Robin, unaware of the set of eyes on her.

You restrain the eye roll as you look at him.

Steve is sitting on the same couch you do, though with a big distance, you sit at one end and he on the other, far far away from you. You know he doesn’t want you here, you saw the look on his face when Eddie had dragged you into his house, a wave of something had washed over his face, something unpleasant, like he wanted to scrunch his face up in disgust at the sight of you – his mind had already erased your little moment at the Sinclair house, last week. Now you are back to normal. He made a comment, you made a comment and now you both sit there, avoiding each other like the plague.

Secretly, you watch him though.

Like you always do.

And what you are seeing now, only fuels your annoyance and your wish to go home.

You thought that he was over it, you thought that he was over her. But you were a little blind and maybe he was too when he told Robin that he was over her. He never was, he never will be. You saw the way he looked at her when she patched him up after he was attacked. You saw the way he looked at her in the RV. You heard the things he said to her, how he talked about his dreams that he surely saw her in by his side.

You also heard the things he said about you when he thought that you were sleeping. You still remember how gut wrenching it felt to hear him say things about you to his ex-girlfriend.

You huff in silence when his lips curl into a smile and his eyes light up when Nancy throws her head back in laughter.

God, why are you even here?

Eddie falls into the seat next to you, throwing his arm around your shoulder. It feels as though a cloud of smoke had followed him because suddenly, the smell of snacks, fresh air and beer is replaced by it, along with the smell of his cologne.

You don’t belong here, you don’t belong anywhere.

Eddie takes a look around before he turns to you, the smile still lingering, though turning into a softer one when he notices the frown on your face.

“What’s wrong, sweets?”

You shake your head a little, trying to give him a smile, “nothing.”

“Are you feeling okay?” He asks, whispering.

You wonder if that is the reason why he always wants you around, so he can keep checking up on you, so he can make sure that you are okay, that you are still alive and not lying in some ditch after pushing yourself a little too hard while still recovering from surgery.

Does he care so much because he knows that no one else would?

Or does he feel like he owes you something because you helped him when it wasn’t even asked of you?

You nod, “yeah, I just don’t know why I’m here,” you whisper to him, subtly gesturing to this tight friend group that you don’t fit into.

Eddie is new to this as well, but unlike you, he’s open and friendly with everyone. He surely isn’t as cheerful as he was weeks back. Just like you, he is still recovering, hiding his inner scars from the face of the earth but still, he is trying. Trying to fit into this, and for him, it’s working, for you? Not so much.

“Well, you’re here because of me,” he grins, tapping your shoulder.

You huff but smile, looking down at your hands.

Yeah, you wouldn’t be here otherwise.

Had you not gone on a walk that one afternoon a few weeks back, you would have never ran into him. Eddie who had been a wanted man at that time, Eddie who was hiding at skull rock, in drenched clothes and with clattering teeth as he shivered like crazy. You remember how scared he looked when you saw him, how he thought that you would rat him out because at that time, you were nothing but acquaintances to each other. – You bought from him a few times but that was all. He always tried to make small talk, throw a few jokes at you, but at that time, he barely got you to laugh.

You didn’t believe the rumors on the news, not even for a second, not even when Chrissy used to be a close friend of yours.

You decided to help him, not knowing what else you were getting yourself into, not knowing that it wasn’t just him involved in a world you hadn’t known of yet, at that time. You got him dry clothes, food and the walkie talkie he had begged you for.

You never expected Steve Harrington and Dustin Henderson to show up moments later, though. And least of all, you hadn’t expected Max there. It felt like a surreal dream the moment they started explaining everything to you. The moment you found out the truth about Starcourt, about all the deaths in this town, about the lab, about Henry.

You had only been allowed to be a part of it because of Max, because of your friendship with the girl you had grown protective of, because she let you help.

The night in the upside down, the night at the Creel house led you here, into this friend group, into Steve’s house where you certainly don’t belong.

You don’t know what that nagging yet empty feeling in your chest is, if it’s the trauma that is slowly catching up to you or if it’s from watching him watch her, or if you’re just simply having a bad day but it’s making you feel sick and restless, you want the ground to swallow you up.

You muster up your greatest smile and flash it at Eddie, “yeah, cause you’re my very best friend.”

He snorts at you, hearing the sarcasm in your voice.

“Your only best friend is Red.”

You smile at his nickname for Max.

“Hey Chica, do you wanna smoke this with me?”

You don’t even pay attention or look up, not until Eddie chuckles and nudges your shoulder, raising his eyebrows at you to look up and when you do, you find Argyle looking at you with a dopey smile on his face as he holds up a blunt to you.

Without thinking, you get up with a smile on your lips, “is that even a question?”

It’s been a long time since you have had anything other than medication in your system, you are in dire need of something that will ease your mind and make you feel more than what you are feeling today.

“What the hell, Blondie!?”

His raised voice startles everyone in the room. Robin looks up from the polaroids in her hands, glancing up at her best friend who is staring at you with angry eyes. Nancy and Jonathan turn to look at Steve before they turn to look at what he is glaring at – or who he is glaring at.

Argyle and Eddie turn to Steve with confusion on their faces.

And you, you halt in your tracks, and turn back slowly. Caught off guard by the intense look on his face, you freeze.

“Are you crazy?”

You open your mouth to speak, though you shut your mouth again when you realize that these words aren’t directed at you, they’re directed at Argyle.

“She can’t smoke or drink! Her doctor said it loud and clear, and I warned you before!” He points at him.

You’re taken aback by his anger, by his words. The fact that he remembered when even you, yourself have forgotten about it. You hate the way your heart flutters at that, you hate the way it makes your stomach feel all tingly. You know that it doesn’t mean anything, just because he remembered.

You see the way Argyle’s face drops and the way he smacks himself on his forehead, “I forgot, I’m sorry, man,” he looks at you, pulling away the blunt he was just about to give to you. “Sorry, he told me… I wasn’t thinking.” He whispers, a little uncomfortably as a funny look takes over his face.

Steve warned him?

“Dude, I forgot too, don’t worry about it,” you pat his arm, giving him an apologetic smile. “Don’t mind mother hen over there, he’s overreacting as always.” You say as though you don’t feel your heart racing over Steve’s outburst.

“And you.”

You instantly turn to face him, just like everyone else in the room who watches the scene unfold with curiosity and confusion on their faces.

You meet his hazel eyes, the ones that are still raging.

“Stop being so fucking careless!” He snaps, pointing his finger at you now. “You’re getting on my goddamn nerves.”

He places his hands back on his hips, huffing loudly.

Your cheeks flush under his gaze, you can feel them burning, your heart beating faster and faster. You don’t know how to feel but all you can think about now is the look in his eyes when he realized that he hurt you back at Lucas’s place the other day, the words he had said to you.

Despite the giddiness inside of you, you hide your feelings behind a smirk.

“Wow, you do worry about me, Harrington. You weren’t lying.”

He squints his eyes at you, nodding at your words with another huff. He pinches the bridge of his nose, shaking his head.

Everyone is looking between the two of you, waiting for the bickering to start, the way it always does, but Steve manages to bite his tongue.

And you surprise the others by holding back your little remarks.

“And fucking relax, leave Argyle alone, he isn’t responsible for me and neither are you, Lego head. Go and get high, you need to calm down.”

Jonathan snorts at the nickname, he throws his head back, chuckling loudly as he mumbles ‘Lego head’. Argyle, who already had one too many drags of the blunt he passed around before, is barely holding himself together, threatening to burst into laughter too.

Steve shoots Jonathan a glare, pointing at him to shut up.

Nancy looks down, pressing her lips together with an amused look in her eyes.

Eddie drinks his beer, hiding the smirk behind the can, scratching the back of his neck.

“Sit your ass down, Blondie and drink your goddamn coke, don’t even think about weed or–”

“No weed, no beer, just fucking coca cola, got it, mom,” you roll your eyes at him and slump back in your previous seat, crossing your arms over your chest.

He sighs loudly, sitting back down as well, he crosses his legs, giving you the side eye.

“Goddamn brat,” he mumbles under his breath.

“I heard that.”

“Good,” he snaps at you.

There is no tension in the room, not even awkwardness after this weird moment. If anything, everyone is still amused.

“Always bickering like an old married couple,” Eddie snickers.

Steve glares at him, and you, you would have dug your elbow into his side, but he is wounded and still healing. The band aids on his neck are the evidence that they are still bad. He is hiding him, and you wonder if he always will, you ask yourself if he will hide his pain the way you hide yours.

You don’t even notice that Robin left the room, only when everyone moves on from what just happened and chatter fills the space again, do you take a look around. You furrow your brows when you find her spot empty.

Argyle and Jonathan leave the room, stepping out into the garden with Nancy following close behind.

“Are you still in for tomorrow?” You hear Eddie, directing his question at Steve.

“Yeah, sure.”

You don’t bother to ask and find out what their plans are.

Robin walks back into her room, with something in her hand. Her eyes are aimed at you, a smile on her lips when she walks towards you. She hands you a drink, a diet pepsi.

“Here.”

Your lips part as you stare at the can for a long moment, blinking. You tilt your chin up, looking up at her with big eyes.

Her smile falls and a frown takes over, “shit, I thought you liked diet pepsi? Was it original?”

You shake your head at her, taking the can from her hand, “n-no, it’s diet pepsi.”

She paid attention to you.

She smiles at you.

She felt bad watching you sit there and being unable to drink beer or smoke weed with the others. And she remembers that you always asked for pepsi when you were still in the hospital, you hated the teas there and despised the fact that you were only allowed water.

“I thought you liked coke, Blondie.”

Robin rolls her eyes at Steve.

“It’s not my favorite,” you shrug, turning to look at him. “I prefer pepsi.”

He squints his eyes at you, “so when you stole my coke the other day, you did it just to–”

“Get back at you, yeah. Cause you stole my coffee.”

“When did he steal your coffee?” Robin asks.

“When I came to family video to rent a movie–”

“Oh, you little liar,” Steve scoffs at you, “she did not rent a movie, she didn’t even come to look for one.”

A smirk tugs at your lips, if there’s something that you love more than the drink in your hand, it’s to get on his nerves.

“Says who? I really wanted one but the customer service sucks when this one isn’t around,” you point at Robin.

Eddie chuckles, turning to look at Steve who is glaring at you, before a smirk appears on his face, his hazel eyes twinkling with smugness.

“You and I both know that you didn’t want to rent a movie, honey. You were there because you wanted to see me,” he says, cockily as he lets his eyes move from your face, down to your body and back up to meet your eyes.

Your breath gets caught in your throat at the way he just looked at you. You don’t squirm in your seat, but you surely would if the others weren’t around. You grow flustered beneath his stare but you have come to learn how to hide it – Steve Harrington will never see you blushing over him.

Maybe he was right, maybe you did just want to see him, because you always do, you always want to see him. No matter how much he hates you, no matter how much he despises you, you can’t help but want him, even if you continue to lie about it to yourself to stay sane.

Steve Harrington had always been your demise – from the first glance.

You couldn’t help but grow fascinated with him, watching him from afar with eyes the shape of your favorite sunglasses. You couldn’t help but care for him, even when he couldn’t stand you.

Sometimes it’s hard to look into his eyes because every time you do look for a little too long, you feel like dying because suddenly, you see the world with different eyes, you see something beautiful, because he is in it and when you look away, when he is gone, it feels anything but.

Steve wouldn’t even bat an eye if you were gone. He wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t around.

Suddenly, you feel overwhelmed by the way he looks at you, by his presence, by all of this. You are in his space, you are invading, his home, his friend group, his safe place. The reminder of it, that you don’t belong here, lies heavy on your heart and you feel the urge to run away but you cannot give yourself away so easily, knowing that it would be awfully noticeable if you suddenly left after what he just said.

So you put on a mask, the way you always do.

“If that helps you sleep at night,” you smirk, tilting your head at him, “I mean no one else would come to see you, I took pity on you.”

He clenches his jaw, his smirk falling into a frown.

“Keep your pity to yourself, Blondie. I’d rather never see you again than see you when I don’t have to.”

You know how he feels about you, you know what he thinks of you, yet every single insult, every jab at you feels like a punch to your gut. But this, this was a punch to your heart.

You know he wouldn’t grieve you if you died at the Creel house, but to know that he might have felt relieved to never having to see you again, hurts you more than you want to admit.

“What the hell, man?” Eddie snaps at him as his brown eyes fill with anger at his words.

Robin rolls her eyes, shaking her head at Steve in disappointment.

But he keeps his eyes on you, struggling to read you, struggling to look past that smirk that is still going strong.

“Well, I’ll put you out of your misery, Lego head,” you say as you place the drink on the table before you get up.

Robin furrows her brows, looking you up and down, “what are you doing?”

“I’m leaving.” You try not to sound bitter or hurt. “I’m getting tired and I forgot my meds at home.”

Steve looks away from you, feeling a rush of guilt.

“I’ll drive you–”

You cut Eddie off, shaking your head at him, “no, I’m gonna walk, I need some fresh air.”

Eddie looks at you worriedly, “sweets, I don’t want you to walk by yourself.”

“Eddie, I’m okay, I don’t get dizzy anymore,” you say, trying to smile at him. “I promise, I’ll call you later tonight.”

He still looks unsure, not wanting to let you go like this.

But he can tell that you want to be alone, right now, so despite his worry, he leans back again and nods begrudgingly.

“Okay..”

You walk out of the room, biting back the bitterness on your tongue, trying to swallow down the pain. You rush through the hallway and open the door, you only manage to take one step out before you hear footsteps behind you.

You roll your eyes, knowing that Eddie being the stubborn guy that he is will try to convince you to stay, but when you turn around, it’s not Eddie’s brown eyes that you find yourself looking into, it’s Steve’s and it catches you off guard a little.

He stops in front of you, his eyes scan your face and he huffs a little when he runs his fingers through his hair.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think it’s guilt and worry in his eyes.

You hold onto the door, ready to escape whatever pain he will put you through again.

“Listen uh, that was mean,” he starts, now struggling to look into your eyes. He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, tugging at his hair. “I shouldn’t have said that.”

You blink.

You swallow as you keep on looking at him with smugness, to hide the pain.

“It’s okay, no need to hide the truth from me, you were just saying what you were feeling, right?”

He opens his eyes and when he faces you again, he looks at you, really looks at you. He tries to find a hint of pain in your features or hurt in your eyes, but there is nothing. All he can see is the coldness in them.

Nothing he could ever do or say would hurt you – at least, that is what he believes, what he always believed.

“Right.”

You bite the insides of your cheeks.

“Good,” you nod and you tear your eyes away from him, unable to look at him any longer as you feel your heart cracking more and more.

“Y-You don’t have to go, Blondie.” He stops you once again, holding himself back from taking your hand.

You slowly turn around and he still struggles to read you, even when you stop smirking, even when you only look at him with a straight face, not saying anything back.

“But if you want to leave, no one’s gonna stop you.”

You see the indifference in his eyes, the coldness that is only there when he looks at you.

Yeah, you know no one would.

How can you care so much about someone that cares so little about you?

How can you want him so bad when all he wants for you is to disappear?

How can he worry one second and hate you in the other?

How can you long for him after every hurtful thing that he said to you?

You take a step away from him, blinking as you feel your eyes starting to burn.

“Bye, Steve.”

You turn around before he can even open his mouth, and you slam the door shut behind you because you don’t want to hear his voice.

You walk away with tears in your eyes.

You wish you didn’t come here today, every moment spent with him makes you want him even more, makes you hate yourself even more.

You don’t go home, no, you can’t stand to be in a house that resembles nothing but loss.

You turn the other way, towards Hawkins cemetery.

You just need to vent.

Even if only into the void.

2014 Testimonials

Nurain & Muhammad Razifwedding Date of Event: 6 & 7 December 2014 via Email

Salam Kak Juls,

Razif and I hope you and your family are well and is in the pink of health.We have finally managed to find time to pen down our thoughts after a month of being blissfully wedded. Apologies for this much delayed testimonial.

Where do we start..

We can never thank you enough for the amazing service rendered during our 2 day event. Even before it all started, you were always very much there for us.

Our first meetup was when we got to know one another. Afterwhich the second meetup was to choose our outfits.

No doubt the beautiful array of outfits made it difficult for us to make a decision. Without compromising to our requests and added with your valuable expertise and inputs, we selected our outfits eventually and were very ecstatic to wear it. Special thanks to Kak Rosita for accomodating to the needed alterations and for the beautiful outfits.

The solemnization is where all the jitters began. Kak Juls helped me calm my nerves and makeup was a breeze. There was never an awkward moment as there was always something to talk about.

Kak Juls will listen to your preference and willingly work around with it. Like how she decided to change my lipstick colour from her original choice when I mentioned that i liked a certain type of look for our outdoor photoshoot.

The fact that we exceeded her working hours for the photoshoot; she never once cringe.

The reception day, she had her assistant along and both of them delivered with much enthusiasm. She prioritised us before herself and even our family members are aware of it.

Kak Juls is not only excellent at what she does, she exudes charisma and is an optimist. Brides and grooms needs someone positive on their special day and Kak Juls would be the perfect person to be with!

No regrets having you as our Mak Andam! We would like to extend our apologies for any shortage on our side.

We would recommend you to our friends and family indefinitely!

Regards, Nurain & Razif

Noorasmidah & Muhammad Irsyadwedding Date of Event: 27 & 28 December 2014 via FB Message

From Noora Mido on 29 December 2014 at 10:24pm

Dearest Kak Juls, I had waited over 2 years to be the bride you will care for. And finally, Alhamdulillah, the days arrived and passed. I was always attracted and impressed by the transformations you did on your brides and I love how the make up does not look "scary". I never regretted moving away from Ratu to Juls Abdullah. We pretty much clicked right away from the 1st appointment. Laughing, joking, etc. From there, I knew I had made the right choice. We had more than 3 appointments prior to the wedding due to us being fickle-minded of the chosen outfits. Kak Juls never stopped us from getting and trying on the ones we wanted and always give her suggestions and is also always open for our suggestions.

Kak Juls has the energy of early 20s. She never failed to crack me up with some if her wrongly said phrases. Her professionalism is really top notch. She doesnt stop me from being myself as a bride. I was really hyper upon seeing 2 of my girlfriends who were supposed to be overseas I definitely didnt look elegant or a queen like I should. Thank you Kak Juls.

She worries more about my make up more than her own sleep!! Having a super active oil glands on my nose and below the nose, my make up gave way numerous times. She tirelessly touch-up those areas each time she sees them off. The wedding day was much better. My oil glands were tamed for the day with her foundation creams. Lol! Thank you Kak Juls for solving that problem. The dresses were beautiful. 2 were alr aimed even before I went for selection and she knows exactly which one after briefly describing them. Masya Allah... There are so much dedication she puts in her career.

To the florist who did my fresh bridal bouquet: the flowers are super pretty la kay, arrangements and decoration is simple and elegant - just what I needed to complete my looks. Beautiful. Thank you so much.

I would also like to thank abang Imran Bin Marjuki for advising us, joking with us and helping us transport the outfits before and after wedding. And thank you to Kak Liza for assisting Kak Juls and carrying my trails and ensuring I'm drinking plenty of water.

Alhamdulillah... Irsyad Jamaluddin and I am married. We wanna thank JulsDsweet for their awesome services.

If there are any slips or miscommunications, I would like to apologize in advance.

May Julsdsweet continue to strive in many more years to come.

100% recommended to brides-to-be.

Yasmin & Mohammed Hafiz wedding Date of Event: 29 & 30 November 2014 via Email

Salam Kak Juls,

A month passed but seemed like only yesterday we had our 2 days event. Hope it is not too late to thank you.

Knowing Kak Juls years ago while attending your Personal Make Up Workshop, I was and is still attracted to your make up skills. I fall in love with the eye make up! Since then, I told myself if I ever get married, I will want to book you without hesitation. & the time came, so I did. I had my make up done as how I preferred. Kak Juls really take note of what her customers want.

What is so lovely about having you as my or anyone's Mak Andam is your positive aura. You are just so down to earth and bubbly in person that makes it much easier and fun to work with on the event day. Patience, definitely you have it at number one! Not many people can do a job with so many noises and disturbance in a room but you definitely nailed it. & definitely an awesome time keeper. You made sure the bride and groom were on schedule. I am that particular on timing and you did well.

Would like to thank Kak Ita too for the beautiful outfits. We loved all the outfits for our wedding especially the Baju Songket. It stands out and we really felt like the King & Queen walking in them. Kak Ita and yourself did great and making them fit our size perfectly. Received quite a compliment from people.

Not to forget, your assistant. So sorry I forgot her name. Very helpful and was always there to assist and keeping my stuffs safe. Heh.

Nurulain & Zulkifli wedding Date of Event: 18 & 19 October 2014 via Email

Dearest Kak Juls,

Just where do we begin? Our orang kuat for our two-days event who was responsible for our outfit and makeup and making sure both of us looked perfect on the pelamin. I knew it was not an easy task managing the two of us as both bride and groom were so stiff and awkward most of the time. However, you definitely did a great job in making us feel comfortable. I love the way you made me feel relaxed especially while doing the eye makeup, as i love to blink way too much. Kak Juls has been my number one choice ever since the day i saw her took good care of my sister-in-law on her wedding day. Firstly, she was punctual on both days. Obviously a very important factor to consider. She's warm and friendly, the traits i look out for in a mak andam. And lastly her skills and her magic touch will create beautiful transformations.

Thank you Kak Juls & Kak Nora for taking care of me for the two days event (25 & 26 October 2014) and have been extremely helpful, friendly and very patient towards this cry baby bride & also the tak tau diam bride sebab terlalu suka sangat dengan the sanggul lintang atas kepala!

Salam Kak Juls

Kindly find the testimonial requested below:-

When it came to deciding who to engage for our bridal wardrobe, we had no qualms in agreeing on Kak Juls. Seeing my husband's group of friends had engaged her & witnessed the results for ourselves, she was our first stop to go to. She is an investment for an unforgettable, amazing experience. Word of mouth assured she will be your best friend for your once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

Kak Juls is punctual. This is essential as bridegroom has to beat the clock to be on time for solemnization & sanding (reception). She also has a great collection of costumes for petite sizes.

Like a true makeup artist, she comes prepared with her extensive makeup kit & tricks to tackle any situation.

I was specific how to complete my vintage 1930's look with my red gown. I was swept off my feet when she made it a reality with the tight ringlets hairstyle.

Kak Juls entertained me & my bridesmaids with small talk, jokes and was there by my side at my most vulnerable moments. I panicked when my hair bun sank. The sanggul had hooked on to the low roof of the Alfa Romeo car on the way to the event place. It was right before the sanding entrance. While I was worried sick we would be delayed any further, Kak Juls calmly came to my side, took a good look at the sanggul & fixed it in a minute.

People forget every other detail of their wedding. They will only remember the event as the photos tell the story. Even 50 years down the road, photos will preserve how gorgeous/handsome we looked & felt as we donned the outfits.

Best Regards

Mars

From Farhanah Samat on 5 October 2014 at 12:52am

When Kak Juls Abdullah arrives for her makeup assignment, she comes prepared with a (very large) arsenal of products and tools, along with a remarkable wealth of experience and knowledge. She knows what will work for you and what will not. And when she tells you to trust her, you should!

If you were to browse through pictures of her work, you will see that no two brides look the same, and that for me was the biggest pull factor. I did not want a template look and I also had very specific ideas on how I wanted my makeup and hair to be. All Kak Juls needed was a short discussion and a few pictures as reference. She nailed it - all three looks were on point and I loved every single one.

Thank you so much...

For making me look fab on my big day - I totally understand why celebrities have their own makeup artist and hair stylist.

For entertaining my 1001 questions and requests - I would clobber me if I had to deal with me.

For keeping me calm and composed on the day of my solemnization - I probably would have been forklifted out of the room.

For assuring me that it is okay to look straight into the camera and it is also okay to have a centre part despite having a fivehead - I never thought I could do both, and at the same time too!

Thank you also to Zahidah for wiping away my many tears and for helping clumsy, trippy me with the train - I would have tumbled down and impaled myself with the sanggul many times over if it weren't for you.

Here's wishing you all the best for the future and may you continue to bring joy to many more brides (and grooms) in the years ahead, amin!

Testimonials for Kak Juls.

It’s been a month since the day you did my makeup on my big day. Till now I still remember how happy I was, to be looking very gorgeous on my big day and it was all due to your magical touch and experience in handling things with having a keen eye in every details. You’ve given me options to choose what accessories and hijab styling is best for me for the different outfits. However, I choose to leave everything for you to decide as I am very confident with your years of experience and friendly approach, everything will turn out great in shaa Allah.

On the day of my solemnization, I was feeling very tense and nervous. However the words of wisdom that you shared with me had helped me to calm myself down. Not forgetting, your jokes and teasing have never failed to make me laugh till I felt so calm and totally forgot about the nervousness that I felt deep within me. I was also anxious to see how the makeup will turn out on my face and on the photograph. Never have I thought I would be commented by many of my friends and my husband’s friends that I look very beautiful on that special day. Thank you for putting up to all my requests (no shaving of eyebrows and hijab covering the chest). I am totally in love with your hijab styling. Despite my teary eyes, you are always there to assist and company me along the way till the end. Alhamdulillah everything went smoothly. I have never regretted choosing you as my Mak Andam. I love every moment I spent with you during my wedding. Now, not knowingly you are somehow related to my husband in the end. What a small world after all. Heehee.

Ps: My husband also wishes to give his special thanks to your husband in guiding him and giving him advices during his bridal fitting moments. Your husband has been a special booster of confidence for my husband in the preparations and overcoming the fear during the big day. Jazakillahu khairan kathiran. May Allah swt reward you for your hard work and kindness and bless your family with happiness and good health. Amin ya rabbal alamin.

Lots of love, Nisa & Yusman

From Nurul Huda on 28 June 2014 at 10:30pm

Kak juls, words cant thank you enough for everything you have done to make my wedding a blast! I've known you thru my cousin's wedding and since then i told myself, kak juls will be my MUA for my wedding and nobody else.. I had a small engagement only with presences of direct related family.. which means no special make up and i cant afford to have even the slightest mistake on my wedding day.. i was so anxious on how my make up will turn out to be like, if the colours will be able to suit me, will the shawl make my chubby cheeks look even chubbier.. a lot of worries in my mind yet you just patiently soothe me by saying everything will be ok.. we only met four times before the big day.. yet you know my personality, my taste and my preferences.. the colour palette you used on me wasnt too loud yet the thick dark black eye make up you used on me kept my husband eyes glued to me.. i received a lot of compliments from guest saying how beautiful i look... I wish you were by my side to receive those compliments yrself as i wont be that beautiful if it wasnt for your hardwork and creativity.. Then comes the mabok bride.. Thank you for still keeping me beautiful and elegant while i vomit my lunch out.. You managed to calm us all and give me time to slowly recover.. Which after the whole event then we knew, you're actually just as worried as us too! My testimonial is abit lengthy but my last thank you is for the time that you double up as a photographer! Thank you for helping us capturing our beautiful moments.. I nvr fail to smile whenever i see my pics on yr fb page... Thank you kak.. May Allah and Rasul reward your kindness and patience.. And bless yr family with forever happiness, joy, health and wealth...

Salam Kak Juls

Thank you once again for the beautiful transformation on my big day. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw myself in the mirror and I had so many compliments from family, relatives and friends.

I'm truly grateful that everything went smoothly though there was an initial delay of 45 minutes as we had forgotten to bring the shawl to be used during the solemnisation. Despite rushing for time, Kak Juls handled everything in a professional and swift manner to prevent any further delay throughout our event.

I would highly recommend Kak Juls to all bride-to-be as she will ensure that you look gorgeous during your wedding. Also, should Amazing Race decide to come up with a MUA or Mak Andam edition, I'll definitely nominate Kak Juls and am very sure she will be the winner.

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours.

Salam Kak Juls,

This is my long overdue testimonial. Apologize for the delay as I have too many things on my plate lately and didn’t have the time to sit down and start working on my testimonial. So here you go……………

You are 1 of the few mak andam I took noticed way back in 2007. Fast forward to 2012, when I started to look around for my wedding service providers, I shortlisted you in my list. And after discussion with my then fiancé & after looking through your makeup portfolio (which saya suka skali dgn your makeup skill!), I contacted you and you were available on the dates I wanted.

And I had made a wise choice in taking your service. You have the qualities I looked for in a mak andam – friendly, warmth, funny, keeping me calm especially when I was a nervous wreck, advised me on certain matters, professional, & committed. You were even came to my house early to make me up & I was very pleased by your punctuality!

Not forgetting your assistant, Zahidah. She was a great help & a pleasant person to be around with. Please send my warmest regard to her. Thank you so much on your excellent service you had rendered & thank you for dolling me up till I even exclaimed out aloud to myself “jambu kepe aku!” You are bestowed & blessed with great skill & personality.

May you & your andaman business soar to higher and greater heights. Last but not least may Allah blessed you and your family always (kirim salam kat Abg Im).

Ameen.

Sincerely, Salfariza — with Ej Robson.

I was truly amazed at your work in FB…. When my fren first mentioned of you. I would say im very much lucky to have gotten your slot available! Alhamdulillah.

Kak Juls! You are a simple amazing and marvellous woman who does her job with so much passion, dedication and the determination for perfection! I admire that drive in you! Masha Allah! You are very professional in your work and give your best in what you do in the most cheerful personality and that truly would calm any jittery bride!!!

Hasrianty & Mohamad Ezuandy wedding Date of Event: 22 February 2014 via Email

Kak Juls, the amazingly talented M.U.A that will forever be the best in my eyes. Do you know, readers, that even before I planned for my wedding, I would dream about having Kak Juls as my M.U.A and guess what, my dream did came true! And it came true beautifully for me. I couldn't ask for more.

The first time I got to know about Kak Juls was through my sister who got married 6 years ago and engaged her as the M.U.A. Even back then her touch was as magical and brilliant because 6 years later, I wanted her badly as my wedding M.U.A.

Unlike other brides who have a list of M.U.A on their list before their ultimate decision, mine has only one :) Alhamdulillah Kak Juls wasn't booked during that weekend because we made the booking quite late into the wedding preps.

Ok here are somethings about Kak Juls that I personally came across.

Her soft, delicate touch: Yes! These are some of the qualities of Kak Juls, I still am amazed at her. She is so so gentle, graceful and careful when she does the make up on me. During the transition, I am never bored or anything like that because Kak Juls is a jovial and funny person in reality who would make uncomfortable situation a breeze and I really had so much fun with her and her assistant too! She is also concerned about her bride's health and wellness because I had sinus in the early morning and bad flu in the afternoon of my wedding day. And she would remind me to drink up water and even if I didn't ask for it, she just sort of knew that I needed water to ease my little discomfort. How nice :)

I should also say that Kak Juls is a really multi-talented and informative person that will give you advise whenever you need it. Not only that she transforms you into a beautiful bride, she also takes great pictures! You WILL LOVE them!

Oh and also I am not a natural in front of the camera and don't really know how to pose for a photo. Senang kata in malay I am very the kaku! This being said, Kak Juls had made me feel relaxed because I was really tensed the moment cameras were all over me! She would also teach you how to pose naturally for the cameras and it is really ok if you are the kaku type like me because Kak Juls' personal experiences and calmness will eventually loosen up your uptight nerves. (TELL ME ABOUT IT KAN)

Kak Juls is the gerek type of M.U.A and is always joking/laughing and cheering on me till the end. She is patient with me and is professional at work in all sorts of circumstances. At times she would share a tip or two about make up with me while donning me. Seriously I really couldn't ask for more. There is nothing bad/awful that I would say about her.

I believe Kak Juls does her work in the most amicable way which makes you feel the trust in between. :)

Before I end, I would like to thank Kak Juls for her amazing M.U.A service and I would also recommend her to all my friends who haven't got married YET but I will still do that hehe because she is just awesomely talented lah :))

I hope in future if I plan to have a photoshoot of some kind I would definitely look for her. Inshaa Allah. Till then, Assalamualaikum WBR. :)

Never once did i ever regret having you as my MUA. The outcome is so gorgeous! Your wide range of wedding dresses are awesome!

You help me to build up my confident in smilling. So thank you!
