Cosmetics companies say Thank You

This was written to cheer up my sisters after Yong Joon's GQ interview was published - in which he poured out his soul to his family about his (lack of ) freedom and sleep. Hope you enjoy......

Dear sisters .......... I almost make history today! I am THIS close to becoming the first woman ever who looks into the mirror and gets scared to death by her own self. So dear Yong Joon ssi and sisters, please take it easy ok? …….

BAELAND FINANCIAL POST

Yong Joon ssi – Spas, cosmetics and tissues companies around the world all say “Thank You!”




It’s been reported that there has been a skyrocketing increase in female patronage into spas and aesthetics salons for the past week. Female clients walking in all displayed the same traits : lost-puppy look, panda eyes, elephant skin and loose ponytail. It is believed that they all suffered from sleepless nights and major worrying for the SAME gorgeous Korean man! Most popular services requested include the ‘Emergency facial resuscitation’, ‘Intensive peel till you drop’ and the ‘No-pain no-gain facelift’ treatment packages.




Major cosmetics companies in Asia, North America and Europe also apologized that the following products are currently out-of-stock until further notice (or until THAT gorgeous Korean man smiles again!) :

- all eye or nose or wherever-you-need concealers and correctors

- all firming or lifting or fortifying or revitalizing moisturizers and serums

- all wrinkle-minimizing or skin-detoxifying or complexion-smoothing or radiance-boosting masks and scrubs


Lastly, Scotties (little softie) and Kleenex inc. both announced a revenue hike of 100% in tissue sales primarily in the ‘3-ply, ultra-soft, tear-stopper’ category. To meet the explosive demand, both companies promise to boost production by engaging in a full-gear 24-hour shift. Those poor trees must be shaking in the forest now!

A belated thank you to YOU, Jaime deary, for the killing I made last year on the stock exchange after reading your informative article. I immediately put all my assets into cosmetics and paper companies and it paid off big time!

Just as well since "the addiction" is not without its costs. But, hey, it's well worth it!

Hasta la vista, seƱorita!

P.S.: btw, what is that lovely music playing in the background?

jaime said...

hehe gosijo, you're welcome, I'm glad to be of service. Now, you want my prediction for this week's Lotterio?

Ha, I thought nobody will ask ..... this instrumental is called 'summer dream'. The Japanese song is sung by my other love - Ryu Si Won. His voice is very soothing and his songs melodic, very relaxing to listen. I'll send both versions to you, ok? (hahaha, such a hard sell, eh?)

Hi Chinggu!

This keeps getting more & more challenging everyday. If I may say so, this topic is very timely since we are all out to GET THAT SEXY STRANGER'S UNDIVIDED ATTENTION this a.m.BTW, hi & thanx & welcome to all who finally decided to join like mymy,sweet sister,moontime(sorry cannot compete with your sexy leg show coz I am still needing lots of concealer for my varicose veins, hehehehhe!). Hope to see bb's flashing her now world reknown bigger than J.Lo's behind(bb, aren't you glad that Miss Lo was able to set that trend again & making it the yardstick to measure a lady's sexiness? I know Chinggu is rolling in her seat now! Hhahahahahaha!)

So, does this mean I cannot get the necessary Nip/Tuck/Botox/Lipos I need due to the sudden surge of mid-age Baesisters like me running amock to salons, etc. & buying stuffs like here's no tomorrow, huh? I have the best plan though, like my dear hubby always say when he was still in the garment biz, GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE! Thereby getting the best & cheapest price of anything we want. But, how do you use trees as a substitute for Kleenex & Scotties? Fish scales for lipstick/cream/gloss? There is also a belief that placenta can rejuvenate skin(YUCK), tell me how can we buy all the placeneta from maternity hosp. to be used as face creams? Dear Hubby of mine, are you nuts? hahahhaha!

Best laugh I ever had since your blog's birthday Chinggu! Keep this up & you will have to visit me one day in an asylum for lunatics(if I am not yet one now, LOL!).

Love you lots,
Judy

Hi chinggu ... I actually know these days, new mothers ask the hospital to store the placenta for their newborns, just in case the kids may need bone marrow transplant in the future. So I guess I am all for placenta in the name of saving lives and youthful skin ;)

So your hubby's advice - GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE is wise :)

another classic posting from our dear jaime, thanks!

and... call me biased, but i think RSW sometimes doesn't photograph well, or at least not as well as wuri yong joon. i mean, wuri yong joon's pics are almost nearly always good, but with RSW, there're a few misses :p

but... i do like this one, compliments from tiff's blog.

bbmag said...

and yea, i remember thinking RSW sang pretty well in BD...

p.s. can't wait to hear wuri yong joon sing in TWSSG!!

jaime said...

Hi princess, I totaly agree w/ you. I have yet to see a bad pic of Yong Joon. Eventhough sometimes people say he doesn't fit into the classic handsome male mold, but to me, he is the most gorgeous man on earth.

I guess it's the same reason I am attracted to Ryu Si Won - his total package of personal charm, wit, warmth and many talents. 2 very different men yet loved by many :) btw, loved his car racing pic, thanks.

I cannot believe Yong Joon is a bad singer. With a sexy, velvety voice like this, how bad can it be? I've heard many bad singers w/ awful voice and they can still make it big?? All HRH needs is to practise more in the shower. hehe, w/ a coach, say moi? ;)

Bad singer
nono he just need to whisper to us in a very low tone.

Yup that will do.

Serum and we only need to get some bees wax and mix it with hena for lipstick.

*picture the fight the bees will put on*
*they are so incosiderate not surreder their wax to women in dire need of it*

Thank you again for a wonderful post! I'm so happy you are sharing items you wrote early on so that those of us who missed them can enjoy them now.

You are a force to be reckoned with my dear!!

Keep up the great writing!!

ps: have you seen the tv show "Extreme Body Makeover" or something like that? Well....I told my son that I need to do that and his reply - "Mom, you're hopeless"...can you believe it. It was the way he said it, so nonchantly....sassy kid of mine.

bbmag said...

me too need extreme makeover! me wanna be swan!!

Toujours_BYJ said...

I don't need to hear YJ singing, he just speaks in a low tone with his velvet voice like he did at the end of Hotelier when he read his mails and it's enough for me.
Thanks Jaime, I enjoy re-reading these articles very much.

jaime said...

hehe anonymous .... no wonder why bee has stinger since we are after so many of its stuffs? ;)

jaime said...

hahaha vegas, I'm sure deep down you know that your boy thinks you are the most beautiful mom in the whole wide world, right?

jaime said...

oh princess, you don't need it, you're already a swan!

jaime said...

hehe camille, you're so right. His words are like beautiful music to my ears already.

Jaime, I hate to tell you this, but I beat you to it, while looking in the mirror.... hahaha!

Ok, where have I been??? He SINGS???? In which episode??? How long do we need to wait???

I have often thought how wonderful it would be for him to do a musical (as a film version so we could all see it) -- he could sing, dance and act, all in one role!! He always says he wants to challenge himself as an actor...

What about West Side Story, the Korean version? Should we all write to BOF and tell them that this is what we want to see???

Btw, Jaime, I'm just loving your blog!!
