Ketsueki-gata

Otherwise known as prediction of character through blood types. Like the Astrological signs in the West AND like the Chinese Zodiac.

From what I've seen in America, people really don't pay much attention to their blood type, which I think is unfortunate because if you ever need a blood transfusion it takes time to test you for your blood type. In an emergency seconds can be really important.

I know I'm an O-... I know sucks right?!! But here are the blood types for humans(lets not worry about the + and - for right now); O, A, B, and AB.

  Chart from Google.
Okay, as you can see, the blood types are caused by the absence or presence of antigens on the surface of the red blood cell. You can only have one blood type present in your blood stream, if you are given the wrong blood type your body will reject it and that can potentially make you sick. This is why knowing your blood type and having a record of it in your medical records is essential.

Blood types are inherited from the parents, but a mother can often carry a child that has a different blood type.

The + and - signifies the RH system. The Rh system tells people that you either carry or do not carry an antigen, most commonly the D antigen. So RH+ means your blood DOES contain the D antigen and if your RH- it means you DON'T carry the D antigen. + types can receive both + and - blood types and - can only receive negative types.

O+ blood type's can only receive O+ and O- blood. O-'s can only receive O- blood(hence why is sucks to be an O-). A+'s can receive A+, A-, O+, and O- blood. A-'s can receive O- and A- blood. B+'s can receive B+, B-, O+, and O- blood. B-'s may receive O- and B- blood. AB+ can receive any blood type... so if your AB+ your super lucky! AB-'s can receive AB-, A-, B-, and O- blood. So because I'm an O- I'm a universal donor, but I can only receive type O- blood.

I will now note that Japan, as far as I know, doesn't recognize the RH factor in Ketsueki-gata. 

But on to the topic at hand: Ketsueki-gata...Like in Western Psychology, there are various personality types in Japan. There are differing variations on this such as Myers-Briggs personality types, in which there are 16 personality types. In the West, There are types A, B, C, and functional A personalities. A is aggressive, and they have a predisposition to get heart disease. B people are laid back and tend to be calm, most people tend to be considered B's. C's are introverted and have a predisposition to cancer. Functional A's can work through their aggression. (A/B Meyer Freidman and Ray Rosenman) (C Temoshok and Dreher) (Functional A (Hardy Personality) Suzanne Kobasa)

In Ketsueki-gata:

Arpege by Lavin

(Woman's) (Sweet amber-ish) This Eau de Parfume is a bit difficult to describe. I love it for its complexity.

According to fragrancenet.com, this fragrance includes: honeysuckle, jasmine, vanilla, orange blossom, rose, and sandalwood, and was first produced in 1927!  I can definitely smell the honeysuckle, which is why I bought this perfume! I really glad about that because it's a true honeysuckle, not a chemical fake.   I smell the sandalwood, the jasmine, a bit of the rose, and the vanilla... all scents I love. In fact as this dries down, I'm also getting the orange blossom! I love when all of the notes can be accounted for while harmonizing so well together. I also get an amber note... which easily smooths everything out.

This is definitely a old fashioned perfume, but I really like that! No cotton candy or pink sugar! Its elegant, but more wearable during the day than the night. Its a beautiful scent and I really enjoy the complexity. 10 out of 10!

Jaclyn Smith's California by Dana

(Woman's) (Old Fashioned Amber Musk) I like this, it takes me back to the 80's. (Keep in mind I was born in the early 90's, but I have a feeling you get what I'm saying!) This fragrance does remind me of California, but more towards the LA area. California came out in 1989, so I guess the 80's essence makes sense.

   
  

According to fragrancenet.com, this perfume includes: floral aldehydes, exotic woods, and low notes of vanilla, musk and oakmoss. I love oakmoss, its why I bought this fragrance... plus the vanilla and the musk. I get the sweetness of vanilla, I definitely get the musk, I get the aldehydes, but not the woods or the oakmoss. I also smell amber and maybe a little light incense. I think that's what reminds me so much of the 80's, as these scents used to be more popular.

Overall, it nice and nostalgic, and it does remind me of hot California nights. So I like it, it's pleasant. 7 out of 10.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!

This could happen tomorrow....

Or This....

But God I hope its this....

 Otherwise all my hours of training with Left 4 Dead 1 AND2 will all be for not!!! So many HOURS!!!!

Why is all of this happening???

Because of THIS....

One thing I hate about Sasa...

Sometimes the tracking number they send me doesn't work. I have no idea why, but it just doesn't. I copy and paste it, so it can't be that I'm typing it wrong. So I have no idea where my package is and when I have to stay home to sign for it. Has anyone else experienced this?

On Subscribers and subscriptions...

I hate seeing "Comment, subscribe, rate" pop ups on Youtube videos! That's why I don't use them in my videos, in the description, or on my blog. The way I see it, people are going rate and subscribe if they like the video, or rate it poorly if they don't. People are going to comment if they have a question or and actual comment. It bothers me a little bit, when I see these pop ups. Do I really need a reminder to do these things? I also hate it when people ask me to sub to them. I'll sub if I'm a viewer, simple as that. If I don't think I'll watch you, or if I find myself subscribed but I'm not watching you, then I'm not rating or commenting either. So I'm not giving you the support you deserve. The support that other people could give you. In this case I unsub, or not sub at all if the former is the case. I know very few people read this, but I needed to state it.

Aveeno Clear Complexions Foaming Cleanser

I think this is my fifth bottle... I have no idea why I haven't reviewed this before. Lets see I started using this when I was about 14. I really like this for the gentle cleansing action it provides. Now I WILL NOT call this a foaming cleanser, while the dispenser does dispense the cleanser as a foam, the foam doesn't  last. AT ALL. The foam may last a couple of seconds at most.

This product contains the BHA known as salicylic acid. There's also; Butylene glycol, citric acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium EDTA, disodium lauroamphodiacetate, fragrance, glycerine, glycine soja (soybean protein), PEG-16 soy streol, PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, polysorbate 20, sodium benzoate, sodium C14-C16 olefin sulfonate, sorbitol, water, xanthan gum.

Its strange that this product claims to be 'soap-free', but still contains glycerin, which is a form of soap.

This cleanser is Oil-free, Noncomedogenic, Soap-free, and Hypoallergenic.

This cleanser is the first of two that I use in my regime and it cleans pretty well, especially when mixed with pearl powder. I'm okay with the scent and it doesn't bother my super sensitive skin. I believe it does prevent breakouts, but you have to leave it on for about five min, as it is a chemical exfoliant. It's a bit drying, so I recommend using a moisturizer after washing your face, which you should do anyway. After cleansing, my face does feel a bit tight, but again moisturizing will help. I don't support the claim that this evens skin tone. Overall, I give this 7 out of 10.
