HOLY JANUARY: EYELASH EXTENSIONS

2012-01-16T00:41:00.000-08:00

WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T POSTED SINCE OCTOBER. LOL.

but i refuse to think of my shortcomings on this blog. it's a new year, baby!

i don't think i have any resolutions. i mean, i do, but i'm afraid that i'll just jinx them by making too big of a deal out of it. i'm really bad for that. i'll say one thing and go in the complete opposite direction. so i'm not going to place too much of an emphasis on the fact that it's 2012 and that i need to be making promises of self-improvement. i'm always in a state of improvement. or, at least, i always have intentions to improve. does that make sense? whatever, ON TO LESS BORING THINGS.

actually, one goal that i will mention is my intention to normalize my sleep schedule. it's becoming a problem. on a normal night i won't get to bed until about 4 AM and wake up at 11 AM. i need to get a better handle of this, and get into a healthy routine with my sleep. resolution or not, this is something that HAS to happen.

i've started school now. first week in. it's already feeling heavy, but i'm experiencing the well-known early semester feelings of excitement and dread. fellow students, HOLLA AT ME.

did i say on to less boring things? haha, i lied.

taken immediately after my appointment. SO MANY LASHES.

last friday i had an appointment for eyelash extensions. my friend is the manager of a salon/spa and she booked me in for a promotion they were having for mink lash extensions back in october. i kept having to postpone my appointment because of silly life commitments so i couldn't even reschedule until january. HAHA.

according to them, the process takes about two hours. i decided to go in for january as a kind of late christmas present to myself. i had been wanting to try eyelash extensions for the longest time. the reason they were so appealing to me was because i've had friends that had them before and i liked the length and definition of them. also, i'm too lazy to put on falsies everyday.

i went in for my appointment at noon and proceeded to lay on the table they had set up. she asked me what length of lashes i wanted. there were two different lengths. i chose the longer length. she told me that they would be very dramatic and that they would get in the way if i wore glasses. since i don't wear glasses regularly, but i still wear falsies semi-regularly [which is why am used to a 'dramatic' lash], i still opted for the longer ones.

the technician cleaned my eyelashes then applied a piece of tape to the underside of each of my eyes [to protect my lower lid/lashes].

right away she began to apply the extensions one by one. it felt weird. not painful or irritating, but just slightly uncomfortable. apparently people fall asleep during their appointments, but i couldn't because i was totally conscious of the weird sensation of her gluing the eyelash extensions on the whole time.

when she was finished, she asked me to open my eyes. it was difficult for me to do. i felt a stinging sensation each time i tried, and it hurt. it took me a while to actually will myself into opening my eyes. they were watering like crazy. the technician wiped up the area around my eyes. i think it was due to the type of glue they used. i don't know if this is a regular thing for those who have had eyelash extensions before, it did bother me for a bit. immediately i regretted getting them and i felt paranoid that the stinging sensation wouldn't go away.

it did eventually, though. but when i did see them for the first time, i loved them. they were so long and so lush. my only gripe is that it felt like the curl started so low. which i think is just how eyelash extensions look. i didn't know what i was expecting, but they just felt oddly-placed. i guess i'm just used to the tips of my lashes touching my eyebrows, LOL.

SINCE THEN..
it's only been about a week since i've gotten my eyelash extensions. and although they're supposed to last about 3-4 weeks, i feel like mine are half gone. i did love them initially, but now i'm a bit disappointed in them. they are nice to have short-term, but they are difficult to maintain. also, i'm the laziest person in the world, so i probably could've taken better care of them but didn't. for example, i never bothered to comb them out when they were getting crooked, or use a heated lash curler on them. despite the fact that i am pretty careful with them.

uneven amount of lashes, weird curl formation and sparse areas. makes me sad, man.

also, showering or washing my face with them is a PAIN IN THE ASS. honestly, it's inevitable to have water drip down your face in the shower [even when not facing the stream] and not being able to wipe the water away or rub my eyes was THE WORST. i would end up trying to blink it away which would lead to more water getting in my eyes and after the end of every shower, i would have bloodshot eyes because i was unable to do anything about the water. it was so bad that my boyfriend asked me a couple of times if i was high. ugh.

also, i had the huge irritating issue of the end lashes twisting upon themselves. sometimes i'd get them pointing downward or in awkward angles and it was just so difficult to get them back in line with the other lashes. and many times, i would have some fall out [or get pulled out] when i would try to fix them.

an example of the lash twisting downward. ):

what i did like about them, was the fact that i didn't need to wear any makeup. i mainly didn't bother with makeup because it was difficult to remove when i did [plus, it restricted the types of makeups i could use.. such as cream eyeshadows or waterproof eyeliners/mascaras], but also because having the extensions created a thicker-looking upper lash line.. which in turn made it look sort of like i was wearing eyeliner [or it at least defined my eye a bit more]. these reasons, coupled with a new skincare regime i've been trying out [hopefully to be featured in a future post] have accounted for the fact that i have barely worn any makeup at all this month and will continue to for the rest of january. haha, no makeup january, it doesn't have the same ring as 'no-shave november' [movember], but it works.

so i guess i'm saying that the eyelash extensions are to thank for the break my skin is getting? HAHA, i have no idea.

my final verdict;

would i get them again? no.

:/

of course, i say that now but will probably jump at the next promotion i see, depending on how much time has passed since then and if i forget how annoying they are to maintain. i say, if you're anal enough and can deal with all the little inconveniences that come with having eyelash extensions, by all means, GO FOR IT. as for me? i don't think they're my jam. i did like the look for a while, but i felt quite limited as to what i was able to do with my makeup, what products i could use, etc. i'll stick to my falsies. when i actually decide to wear them, that is.

ANYWAYS,
to any remaining readers i may have; thanks for sticking with this blog. i know i'm terrible with the whole, regular updating thing, but i do appreciate anyone who checks this thing out. even if you're just passing through. thanks for visiting and to any followers, thanks for your support!

hopefully the next one will be up soon,

ciao babies!

GREETINGS FROM GOTHAM.

2011-10-31T19:04:00.000-07:00

YAY, HALLOWEEN.
today ling and i are making cupcakes!

i'm not going out today because i went out on the weekend, but i hope everyone enjoys their candy haul! :D

i don't know if i mentioned in the last entry, but suns and i decided to be gotham villains this year. we were the joker and harley quinn!

it was the most exciting thing to me because harley quinn is my all time favourite batman character and being able to dress up as her [but MY WAY] was the greatest thing in the world. i had some parts of my costume made by my family seamstress and it really worked out to make it something original and special. and i really loved how both of our costumes came together. they were recognizable without being store-bought or looking too manufactured. the thing i'm most proud of is sunny's jacket. it's actually a labcoat we dyed purple! hahaha.

it was so much fun to dress up and do sunny's scar makeup. i think i'll make a post on it because it was a really interesting process.

have a very happy halloween, everyone!

[crappy cellphone photo from friday, GOTHAM VILLAINS UP IN YO SHIT!]

LOVE,

joker & harley.

PS;
party photos!

does anyone remember the show 'daria'? here, k is daria and tobes is natalie portman from black swan. with a wig. LOL.

!!!

this is so creepy, i can't even.

BACK ON TRACK.

2011-09-27T21:39:00.000-07:00

here's a photo from when i went out for a girl's night. this is with my girl tobes. :D
i'm short, but i look EXTRA short here. toby is the tallest asian i know and even she looks short. haha.

hi there.

no, i'm not dead.
i'm just officially a slave to academia.

shit sucks, bro. i don't do anything that isn't related to school. give me my summer back! give me oahu, vancouver and vegas! i miss it! i miss the carefree moments on the beach/docks/casino, WHATEVER. i hate drowning in books and papers and labs. UGH.

anyways.

goals for this october;
buy investment pieces
find a new hairstylist and maintain my colour
take better care of my skin
budget and pay off my credit card
eat better so that i can binge on thanksgiving [OCTOBER 10TH!]

okay. so these are a little conflicting, but come on!

i'll make it work. somehow.

i can't believe september is almost here! i've been so busy with school that i've barely noticed the days. the only dates i pay attention to these days are due dates. HAHA.

halloween soon, though! sunny has come up with the best couple costume idea ever.
it's not outrageously original or anything, but it is very *us*.

i'll post when our ideas become a little more concrete. so far i have pages and pages of sketches and ideas for how we're gonna do this our way. :D

anyone have any halloween plans yet?!

REALITY.

2011-08-15T11:34:00.000-07:00

SO UH,

HI.

i want to talk about my vacations! but i think i'll need more time for a thorough post.

but i will say; hawaii was amazing. two weeks is not enough!
my family is already making plans to go back, we all loved it so much.
i miss the beach! and i just miss all the amazing food. FRESH COCONUTS, HNNNNGHHHH.

[MAN, I LOOK FUCKING MAD]

almost right when we got back, i was back on the road on a double date roadtrip to vancouver & victoria for 3 days. hella asian times in hongcouver.

and then a couple weeks after vancouver, las vegas! which was fabulous and crazy and bankrupted me for the rest of my life. IT WAS SO HOT, OMG. LIKE 40 C EVERYDAY.

so YES. things have been a bit crazy, but i hope to get back into this posting business soon!

and since this is a vanity blog, here's a somewhat relevant photo;

sun's mama did these nails up for a party i was attending the weekend before i left for vegas. they went perfectly with the dress. i may or may not have taken this photo while on the road.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, don't follow my example. please don't take photos while driving.

ANYWAYS.

it's time for me to head out. i have to work today. ):
i plan on getting a haircut before then. my fringe is wayyyyyy tooooo long.

[since i've gotten back, my life has been all about working, bitching about my hair and CATHERINE.]

CIAOSIES.

HAWAIIIIIIII TIME!

2011-06-30T20:45:00.000-07:00

TOUCHDOWN TO OAHU.

i am now in HAWAII! i get all the names confused. waikiki, honolulu, oahu and etc. actually, i think those are the main ones i hear. but i think i have them figured out. waikiki is the beach that i am visiting, honolulu is the city that i'm in and oahu is the island that all this business is located on.

to say it is hot is an understatement.
but if you can imagine my pasty ass, winterized canadian skin being exposed to the beating sun [with only the slightest hint of a breeze], then yes. it has to be said.

i love it, though.

i thought it would be harder to adjust to the climate of the island. it's really humid, which is something i'm not really used to. i remember hitting up florida a couple years ago and complaining pretty much the entire time about how hot i was.

i kind of feel like a loser for lounging poolside with my laptop out. is this lame? yes. extremely. my thighs are stuck to this beach chair and my skin feels rubbery.

my fam's currently in the pool. i'll join them in a bit. it's been HOURS since i had internet access and i was feeling deprived. LOL.

first we flew to vancouver. then from vancouver to honolulu. i got in last night at about 23:30 HNL time, which would be 3:30, june 30th for me back in canada. and i left my city at 16:00. the flight really messed me up, but i was already exhausted from barely sleeping the night before.

first day has been mostly walking around and eating.

oh, and we also went to the apple store;

haha, i think tomorrow will be more productive. i did buy a couple dresses today, though. i'll upload them when i get the time to!

also, i've got my mini 'tips and eats' checklist from EIMI;

1. Always haggle at the tourist Kiosks around Waikiki.

2. Eat Sushi from 7-11.

3. Eat Shaved Ice in Haleiwa/North Shore. [i've heard of this place on the food network! HAHA.]

4. Eat Ramen at Tenkaiippen.

5. Eat Meat Jun from any little Korean BBQ place.

6. Eat Kahlua Pork.

thank you again, eimi! i'll be messaging you for more tips and hot spots!

PS; there are so many japanese people here, it's seriously like being in banff. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

OMG A BIRD JUST SHAT ON ME FML

i think this is my cue to get off of my ass.

TOO TOO TOO FAST.

2011-06-02T12:38:00.000-07:00

[in this photo, i unveil MY 21-YEAR OLD SELF to you. no falsies, SRY.]

SO. i've been twenty-one for a few weeks now. i don't know if i'm used to it yet, but i'm cool, i don't love it, but it's aight.

TODAY I WILL TALK ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY HAPPENINGS. even though it was almost a month ago.

i spent the few hours leading up to my birthday with my mister sun. he couldn't wait to give me my present so at like ten o'clock i was opening my first gift, haha.

silly photos from the night before my birthday.

i was opening the first part of my present. he actually wrapped it! AND IN PURPLE WRAPPING PAPER, OMG!

because my love for vinyl toys and nicole richie is FOREVER.

he initially said that the book and the dunny made up my complete gift. THEN he said 'I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU' and pulling out the holt renfrew bag. i was so surprised, i couldn't even react fast enough before he was pushing it towards and forcing me to open it, HAHA.

unfortunately, i forgot to take a photo after opening it so..

here it is! [no, it's not ling. it's the necklace.]
he bought me the HOH 1960 pave feather necklace. and I AM IN LOVE. it goes with so many outfits of mine and i love how it's got that gunmetal grey colour to it. it allows me to embrace my bohemian side without having to commit to actual feathers! OH SUNSIES, I LOVE YOU. [excuse my appearance in that photo. IT WAS MY SLOB DAY, OKAY.]

the next day i had class, which was supreme lameness. but whatever!
after, i went to get a 1$ iced coffee from the mcdonald's drive-thru [which taste like crap, but IDGAF] and ended up driving out with a happy meal. LOL SUBCONSCIOUS, i didn't realize i was THAT adverse to turning 21.

oh well, it was cool. i got a sweet toy out of it.

i got home and my mom was home from work cooking furiously. she told me that for the day of my birthday, her and pops invited the fams over for dinner. we were scheduled to eat lots and lots of homemade food.

it was kind of funny 'cause i worked on the day before my birthday, and my coworker asked me if my mom would bake me a cake. and i said something like, 'LOL NO, she's probably make me like, A BIRTHDAY SALAD or something.'

well, i was surprised when my mom DID IN FACT BAKE ME A CAKE. [a small chocolate one and it was instant diabetes, but omg the most rich and delicious rectangle ever.]

you can ignore my derpy candle-blowing face here because, OMG- ALLISONNNNN.
cheesy couple photo!

for presents, i got serious monies from cousins, aunts, uncles and g-parents and some pjs from my maternal g-ma and g-pa.

and from my parents, an announcement. that at the end of june we are going

TO

HAWAII

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

so this is seriously going down. this month!
i've never been to hawaii in my life, but everyone who's gone has told me that it'a a gorgeous place with gorgeous people and gorgeous weather.

now that it's june, it's hitting me harder and harder each day. i can't focus on anything because all i can think about is BEACHES.

actually, my mom and i had a celebratory shopping trip the next day for swim wear. and i guess you can say i went a little overboard..

this is only my half. my mom bought even MORE. LOL.

out of all of them, these are my three favourites:

this is from walmart. haha, WEW.

volcom bikini, i love this print!

iron fist bikini. the best part of this bikini is that there is a shark on the crotch. and it came in this sweet eco bag that had the same print.

obviously, i am the most excited person ever.

on the weekend, my parents took me out for korean food and my boyfriend took me out for sushi. it was the fattest weekend of my life. AW YEAH.

i have a lot more birthday and shopping photos, but i'm too lazy to upload them right now. EVENTUALLY.

a couple days after my birthday, i went by myself to the mall. i stopped in at like, the bay or something and ended up having a conversation with the lady at the the elizabeth arden counter. due to her apparent A+ sales skills or my major lack of impulse control, i walked away with some goodies. and you know.. to be completely honest, i initially only saw elizabeth arden as an 'old lady makeup' brand. LOL.
i still kind of do to some extent, but i really do like the products i ended up getting.

i bought myself the 'pure finish mineral foundation'. it is spf 20. i know nothing about spf numbers, but the lady at the counter educated me and i learned that a product having an spf number of say, 15 or something means it protects you for 15x 'the amount of time it normally takes you to burn'. so say you usually burn within half an hour. well, according to this, a sunscreen with spf 15 will last for 15x the half hour it takes you to burn. however long that turns out to be.

so if i've translated the information she's told me correctly, then products with an spf number of 100 are completely unnecessary unless you live in like, the arctic or places that get 24 hours of daylight. and even then, that's STILL excessive. don't believe the hype!

the foundation also came with a application brush and a little makeup bag. i'm such a sucker for these gift set things. and to be honest, i pretty much only bought it because OMG THIS POWDER BRUSH IS SO LUSH AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

and i ended up going back to the same lady and picking up the '24 hour perpetual moisture' which came with this;

lots of anti-aging shit [really cements that, 'old lady makeup' image i have in my head about this brand] and a full-size lipstick.

i haven't tried it on yet, so i don't really know how horrid it will look on. BUT, i promise to take photos when i do.

i made this crazy post-birthday resolution that i will not buy any cosmetics for the whole month of june. actually, i think it's a pretty good one. of course, this decision was made a while ago WHEN IT WAS STILL VALID. and besides the few days after my birthday, i've been pretty good so far, actually. i'm planning on extending it until maybe.. july. and maybe the rest of the summer too.. because SERIOUSLY, HOW MUCH MAKEUP CAN A GIRL HAVE?

actually, that is a rhetorical question, i would love to own more. but i need to be practical and actually use what i have first. especially since that shit has expiration dates.
i currently have too much unused makeup and every time i walk into a MAC or sephora, i walk about with a significantly lighter wallet.

so the deal is; unless i am in dire need of a concealer or blush or an eyeliner pen [you know, the essentials], i will not cave! i want more clothes and more toys! AND SPENDING MONEY FOR MY VACATION. :'D

any purchases made for the next month or so are completely devoted to summer.
i'm excited, man!

to all you hawaiian folk [or people who have been to hawaii], TELL ME: what are some must-sees/must-dos?

SHIT, SON.

2011-05-10T14:17:00.001-07:00

HOLY BALLS GUYS I'M TWENTY-ONE

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR YO DEMO, HOMIE.

2011-05-03T12:46:00.000-07:00

SO!

i'm happy to say that things have definitely warmed up in this little city of mine.

as i type, the sun is shining with a bit of a cool breeze. but i am infinitely thankful for this weather and so happy to see that almost all the snow in my area has melted.

it was perfect timing for my anniversary, too!

my anniversary with horsie was last tuesday, the 26th. unfortunately, we didn't really get to celebrate the day of because i had a final exam the very next morning. D; eff you, school.

BUT! we did get to make up for it this past weekend.

for lunch, we went out for pho.
went to one of the hipster avenues for some shopping and toys. [where i got a pair of those glasses-that-are-purely-for-aesthetic-purposes-and-don't-aid-with-vision-correction-in-any-way-shape-or-form and a cute little ring. pony picked up a domo vinyl which i think will soon become a permanent fixture in his car.]

then for supper, we had sushi. LOL.

then we hit up the arcade and played a LOT of racing games, shooting games and skeeball. then experienced some fail purikura. took some camera phone photos instead. then rented harry potter 7 and went out AGAIN for bubble tea.

HAHA. it was a very fattening day.

my past week has been consumed with studying [lol, not really] and THE TUDORS.

oh. my. god. i am obsessed with this series. my coworker lent all four seasons to me on dvd a couple weeks back, but i wasn't able to watch them while school was happening. UNTIL NOW.

since i'm on break for finals, the last few nights i was staying up until impossible hours trying to finish all the episodes on the discs. it's unhealthy, but this is rare for me.

ANYWAYS, here's a suggestion; if you dig period dramas and don't mind slight departures from historical accuracy, i highly recommend you check this series out. also, everyone in this series is beautiful. it's like the casting team went out of their way to cast the prettiest people they could find. seriously.

seriously.

the other day i went out with ling. AGAIN. hahaha. this has become somewhat of a weekly thing now. i don't even have the money for all these shopping trips, but we do it anyways.

we went out for bubble tea too, lololol.
i think the cafe owner is getting tired of seeing my face every other day.

some buys;

[because there's some otherworldly force that prevents me from going out and NOT coming home with one-or four-pairs of false lashes..]

one interesting thing to note about these lashes [style: elegant, 10$ at sephora] is that they're pretty similar to MAC #7 or ardell demi 102. the only real difference, i think is that they're a lot shorter. but oh well, it's a pretty good dupe, i think. i'd still go for the ardells, though. because those are like 6$ compared to sephora's 10$ version. WEW.

i also bought some clothes, but they aren't photographed. will do that soon.

so, today's guilty pleasure [in audio form] has been out for a while, but i've only just given this song a real listen probably like, an hour ago;

i can't believe how much i've been listening to this. haha.

that's the one thing about having a bff that's a few years younger than you. i've been exposed to facets of pop culture that i typically wouldn't even have given a second thought about. ling's given me a real ~teeny-bopper~ perspective on a lot of things, from shopping and trends, to movies and music.

and against my higher conscience, i find myself enjoying it. it's terrifying and refreshing at the same time. and DAMN, this makes me sound old.

and i know i'm the furthest thing from mature, so maybe i shouldn't even be saying anything!

..but you know, it might just be the fact that my birthday is coming up.
i didn't even realize it until i went on a trip to sephora and i got this;

[LOL, no.. not everything. just on the left; philosophy 'happy birthday beautiful' body wash/shower gel/shampoo. it's vanilla cake-scented!]

I AIN'T EVEN EXCITED, THO.

hahaha. i'm more anxious than anything. this year marks when i will be TWENTY-FREAKING-ONE YEARS OLD. a legit adult, and globally legal.

the last part sounds exciting, but everything else? NO, NOT SO MUCH.
being an adult, ew. in canada, i've technically been an adult for two years now, but it still grosses me out. responsibility and shit? NAH, MAN. i don't want to think about those things! i just want to blog about makeup all day.

but whatever. i won't be a real, living, breathing adult until next tuesday anyways! so i'll save all the anxiety for that day. maybe even get some celebrations in effect before then. might as well, since i haven't gotten together with my hombres in HOW LONG.

and speaking of hombres..
tonight lingsies is coming with me to sunsies' first spring league hockey game. YAY. i know he'll be happy to have an extra cheerleader for his team. :D

i'ma go pick her up so that we can fit in some pre-hockey shopping..!

CIAO CIAO!

MISTER VAIN.

2011-04-14T23:05:00.000-07:00

CLINICAL PRACTICUM HAS NOW ENDED FOR THE SEMESTER.

do you realize what this means?

BOOM.

i got these done on tuesday. literally the DAY after my last clinical shift.
i called mama-in-law first thing and pretty much ran to the salon. HAHA.
she said she wanted to try something new and MAN, you do not realize how much i missed fake nails!

this is my first time getting sparkly glitter tips! i usually get pearlescent tips, but wow.. how long has it been? i think at least four months? my nails were SO UGLY. i was so happy to see my boyfriend's mom that day. 8D

so last night it snowed like a bastard.

so much for spring. it was literally shorts-wearing weather the day before!
wtf, i hate this city. D:<

anyways, back to nailchat.
i've pretty much forgotten how to type/text/functions since getting them but IT'S WORTH IT. i have to file them a bit, though.

when i have to get these filled, i will play with all the new nail polishes i bought. YAY, I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE NAILS AGAIN. until fall semester rolls around, that is.

this morning i had to be up at basically the crack of dawn just to get to school on time. last night we had a freak snowstorm and now all my dreams of sunshine and spring are dead and buried. D;

ANYWAYS.
these photos are from yesterday, when i decided to play with my new makeup.

haha, i look dead and confused.
i was lazy and decided to forgo the falsies in favour of trying my new clinique eyelash primer.

i don't think you can even see my natural lashes in the next photo. oh well.

also, after my last entry i realized that i should try curling my hair again. here, it doesn't look so bad, but it was absolute shit later on in the day.
haha, wtf are with my hearts? SHIT, I'M TIRED.

hahaha. i have a weird profile [and a messy foyer], but i wanted to show the lack of falsies. i was really impressed by the staying power of my primer and mascara combo. i mean, it actually held a curl. THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

here's one from today.
actually, i take back my 'dead and confused' comment from before and apply it to this picture instead:

this was grumpy me this morning. as you can see, i was like FUCK MAKEUP and i don't have any concealer to save me.

man, i don't even know why i decided to post right now. i feel like it's past my bedtime.. hahahahaha, fuuuuuuu-
eh, this was a lazy entry. haha.

BUT! this week is the last week of winter semester!
finals next week, but i'll still have a bit of free time.
i'm going to play with all my spoils, haha.

expect some updates in the next few days. :'D

I AM IN CONTROL

2011-04-08T10:28:00.000-07:00

HAY GUISE I'M GONNA UPDATE MOAR

APRIL FOOLZ!1

man. what a month march has been.

march was also TIM HORTONS 'ROLL UP THE RIM' month. it's basically this contest where you roll up the lip of the cup [after you're done drinking it, of course] and underneath is printed with either a prize [coffee, snacks, tvs, cars] or a PLAY AGAIN/REESAYEZ SI VOUS PLAIT. i won 3 coffees and two doughnuts this year. YAY.

i'm excited for this month, though. april should be sweet.
hopefully this means springtime and lovelyness and no more parkas.

also, this april will mark the three years for suns and i! april 26th, girlfriend!
WEWWWWWW, I HOPE WE DO SOMETHING SWEET.

in other news, i lost my cellphone memory card and now my vanity is in the hands of some stranger. this is very embarrassing. i have a LOT of camwhore pictures on it and knowing someone can look at all my fail posing is making me very anxious and SAD. BAWWWWW.

i do have these, though:

[from that girls night i was talking about in the last entry. holy SHIT, that was a long time ago..]

HOLY EFFING LOL. look at how insane those bastards are. wtf, thank god i have a straight fringe.

bathroom camwhoring at work.

DERRRRRP.

i went to the mall and this was the moshpit i came across the day the ipad2 was released. SMH.

doing the shops with my favourite 17-year old! LING, I LOVE YOU.
[you can ignore the stumps i call my legs. OH! btw, i actually DID get my hair coloured, if you can tell. in this photo, it's faded but YAY PANELS.]

fotoboufe with lingsies!

viva glam gaga 2. i can't use this alone without looking all corpse-y.

march vanity haul!
haven't used any of it yet. maybe tonight!

AHAHAHA. I LITERALLY *JUST* FOUND THESE UNDER MY BED. WTF. i really need to write down the things i buy so i don't forget about them when they go missing.

this was taken on the way to my irish bff's 21st birthday celebrations. see the snow? yeah, that shit won't leave.

moe life story time:

wednesday was a shitty day!

i was driving to tim hortons [LOL] on my way to school and i sped up to switch lanes and get in front of this car so i could make the turn.
i didn't have enough time to slow my vehicle until this policeman comes out of nowhere and walks into the middle of the street and motions for me to pull over.

after that i got slapped with a 124$ speeding ticket and an additional 172$ ticket for 'failure to produce insurance'. i think what he meant was my registration because i didn't have my updated card in my car [which, yes- is completely my fault. UGH, SO STUPID. I HAVE IT IN A CARD CARRIER IN MY ROOM!]. and after that, i was late for class. D;

when i got out of class, i ran to my car to find a parking ticket on my windshield! i was fifteen minutes behind my ticket expiration time. FML.
another 40$ right there.

and the shitty thing is, that day i was going to hit up the shops to find an anniversary present for my boyfriend. hnnnnngggghhhhh.

i know how annoying i must sound right now. like i'm not taking responsibility for things which were seriously my fault. but i feel like a lot of this was kind of a wrong place/wrong time situation. it was just frustrating too, because there was so much going on that day/this week that it just feels like EVERYTHINGATONCE. you know what i mean?

i will pay all of my tickets. i am a good person, i swear. i have a month to do it, but i hope i will be able to do this before the last minute. i've paid my parking ticket already, so now i just have 296 bones to go... orz

ps; i can't stop listening to THIS..

I HAVEN'T CURLED MY HAIR IN TWO MONTHS.

TOUT L'MONDE EST TIPSY

2011-02-02T00:24:00.000-08:00

january's over.
WHAT.

as a result, i am shamelessly going to post my holiday update in the middle of february. [or not at all]

i can't believe it's february already. january was such a hectic month, i've finally started on the hospital unit for my clinical practicum! [i'm a nursing student].
it's been extremely busy and very interesting, but i do like it so far. i've been very lucky and have gotten many friendly patients so far. (:

the only downside to it is that the student dress code guidelines are very strict. one of the rules is that we aren't allowed to wear nail polish, or any fake nails. D;
you can imagine how upsetting this news was to me. HAHAHA.

so much has happened with school that i haven't had time for ANYTHING else. not even my sunnyman.

..who is also leaving me for vancouver! for five days! )':

he leaves this thursday, which is CNY. i'm excited because we're going to spend CNY with his family, but i'm also upset because he'll be flying out to vancouver that same evening! i suppose it's not all bad, though. it's only five days after all.

and then the monday of the following week will be valentine's day! which is the third anniversary of the day we met. hahahaha.

i am pretty much the worst blogger ever. SIGH.
so much for my [also unposted] new year's resolutions.
the first of which was 'post more'.

BUT WHATEVER. new month, new start!

i've decided that i'm going to try to implement slow adjustments in my life, routine, etc. on a MONTHLY basis. for me, that seems like a more feasible plan. and it allows me to focus or prioritize on specific things rather than having all these scattered ideas in my head that end up never being achieved. you know?

this month, my focus is totally vain.

i would like to change my hair colour. like i've been saying for AGES.

this is what my current hair colour looks like [avec extensions]:

[bear with me, i suck at photo-editing.]

the TOP part is my real hair. the bottom is extensions. you can kind of see the colour difference here. this is because when i dyed my hair, i was too lazy to dye my extensions. hahaha.

i still have a lot of the same ideas for ideal shade. something lighter, with a slight reddish tone. hopefully i can actually get to DOING IT RIGHT [rather than talking about it forever, attempting it with at-home dye kits, failing, then bitching].

but yeah! i'm working towards it. one of my friends is a hair stylist and i've already spoken to her about maybe visiting the salon next week! hopefully we can synchronize so that i'll have new hair before valentine's day [and a new look to surprise sunny with when he gets back]! that would be perfect!

other things i'd like to accomplish for this month.. hmm.

OH YEAH, whitening my teeth! i haven't done this in a while. i think the last time i whitened my teeth was last.. may? it's not something that should be done too often anyways, but i do think that it's time for me to have it done.

i don't think i'll be getting it professionally done, though. i may just stick to those whitening strips that they sell at the drugstore. right now i'm looking into the crest 3D white brand because i'm currently using that toothpaste, LOL.

hmm, what else?

save money!
some of my purchases last month.
a purple daytimer and some deborah lippman nail polish! too bad i can't really use it right now..
i bought everything here except for the ke$ha cd, haha. that was a gift from my 17-year old bff. LOL.

the benefit lip gloss and clutch were free items that were part of the counter's 'bella bamba' event at holt. my friend and me got free makeovers which was pretty cool. the only downside is that the makeover i received wasn't really to my taste. it was very plain and not as heavy as i would've preferred. i think i have photos in my camera, so i'll post them once i have them uploaded.

house of harlow 1960 flats that i bought on sale from holt renfrew. they're f2010, i think, but i couldn't resist the colour. purple is my favourite colour and this jewel tone is gorgeous.

now i have to take a break on the spending. oh well.

getting more active. i'd really like to tone up my legs because i want to wear more skirts! HAHA. [although right now it's so cold in canada that it's pretty much out of the question.]

and studying! midterms are coming up in the next couple of weeks and i NEED to get on top of my material if i want to do well this semester. aiyaa.

hopefully the last three are things i'll be able to keep up for the rest of the year.
i do feel a bit more motivated than i did last month, but i think it's because i've been sleeping a lot better lately.

this friday i'm going clubbing with my bff and a couple of my coworkers. it's gonna be a girl's night. i'm definitely excited! it's something i haven't done in a while and i think it'll be a good time. tomorrow i plan on shopping for an outfit for the night.

hopefully i can get some good photos!

if i don't post before thursday, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! 恭喜發財!

WINDOW SHOPPING.

2011-01-27T11:24:00.001-08:00

OMG, these christian diors are gorgeous.

i wish i had six hundred bones to drop on these bad boys.

TAKE ME WITH YOU.

2011-01-07T13:14:00.001-08:00

and so begins my first day of winter semester!

let's hope it doesn't suck!

[i still have a holiday entry to finish! will post when i get the chance.]

THUNDERBOLTS AND NIGHTSTICKS.

2010-12-15T12:48:00.001-08:00

it's almost been a month since my last blog entry.
but- in a sense, it was necessary. i apologize for NOTHING!

for those of you who are uni students [or students in general], HAS THE STRESS GOTTEN TO YOU YET?

i finished my fall semester on the ninth, but i've been consistently busy since then. i still have two more finals to go [out of three], but i'm actually.. okay. i'm good now.

i kinda lucked out this semester with only three finals [despite being in four courses] because one of the classes had a term project instead of an exam. plus, my hardest final was first. so now that's out of the way.. YAY.

anyways.

WINTER HOLIDAY 2010!

christmas is coming up.
MY SHOPPING IS NOWHERE NEAR COMPLETION.

also, i'm broke. so hah, i wonder how that's gonna work out.

i went christmas shopping with my bakery bro again. :DDDD

..and just like our shifts together, it wasn't very productive. OH WELL.

oh, and i DID receive my curling iron a while ago. [two days after i posted that entry, in fact!] it is AWESOME, but i'll admit.. i haven't really gotten the hang of it yet.

photos!

i tried them right away on a section of my extensions:

YEAH!
..so, maybe you're not impressed by i am. it literally took like, not even a minute to curl this section. yes, the hair is fine and NOT on my head, but i still think it was totally worth the money.

it's SUPER FAST and SUPER HOT and i really love how it comes with differently-sized attachments. definitely versatile.

i just need to get used to using it with the hair on my head. which, yes i've tried. and is a bit tricky. i'll post photos the next time i try, though!

CIAO LOVELIES.

if i don't catch you before the festivities,
merry christmas, happy hanukkah, happy kwanzaa and etc~

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH.

2010-11-16T10:07:00.000-08:00

so my boyfriend's mom just got back from china like, maybe a week or so ago and OMG LOOK AT THESE NAILS-
ballin', right?! damn, i wish i could get stuff like that done here. no one does it. she even said that she wanted to buy nail gems and stuff too but they were wayyy too expensive. so, SIGH. i guess i'll keep dreaming.

anyways.
BUON GIORNO.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?

yes, this is my backyard.
yes, that is like 2092870983752 cm of snow.
yes, this all just happened last night.

FUUUUUUUUUU-

i must say, i am not impressed. i'm not ready for winter yet.
i was only JUST getting my fall shit together when THIS happens.
now.. i know i'm canadian, but DAMMIT. i don't want to deal with snow right now!

oh well, at least it sort of justifies this purchase..

my michael kors earmuffs.
i bought these in like, the middle of october. i couldn't even help myself.
i'm such a freaking sucker for studded anything.

and HEY, at least winter in this city is pretty. i do love winter fashion.
[and the awesome trends! SCARVES, BOOTS, FUR!]

man, i need to get up on my faux fur game! i wanna look eskimo-kei. 8DDDD

IN OTHER NEWS..
how was everyone's halloween?
mine was pretty ballin', i got my costume together totally last minute, although
i'd had the idea FOREVER. i was birdgirl from harvey birdman: attorney at law!

have you guys seen that show? they used to show it on adult swim way back. best late night cartoon. EVER.

i don't have any photos of my costume, actually.. :x
but i do have this in-progress shot:

i ended up getting PROPER mustard yellow tights from forever 21. i don`t know if i`m brave enough to wear them in a non-halloween context, however.

last week i had an INTENSE winners haul.

if you don't know what winners is.. well, it's a store with pretty much the same concept as places like ross or tj maxx [US]/tk maxx [UK].
you know, a bunch of random, perhaps reject stuff in one store.

anyways, i went there one day after school. then i went crazy. noir-crazy.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?
[the first and third items are not actually from winners, but whatever]

as much as i LOVE these pieces, i need some colour. goddamn.
also, i need to stop shopping.

these are awesome, also HIGHLY UNNECESSARY. i have so many lashes already. WHY DID I BUY THESE?

and my favourite purchase of ALL TIME ['OF ALL TIME!' /kanye];

DAS BOOT[S].
holy sweet goddamn, i am IN LOVE with these. just look at how sweet they are! my god. they're studded AND have a hint of purple. two of my favourite things. LOVELOVELOVE~

but enough swooning. i've basically worn them every. single. day. since i bought them.

went shopping with my aunt and my favourite bear, allison! she is so big now, OMG. she`s ONE! her birthday was on october 12th. sweetest bear around, you don`t even know!

alli-bear bear wear.

can you believe she's ONE? will all that hair?

i'm trying to resist the huge urge to doll her up and dress her up in furry things with animal print. she's already a bear anyways.
[and she has baby pink ugg-style boots. SERIOUSLY.]

just ordered this bad boy:

first purchase of the morning.

dude, i've never even used a clip-less curling iron [yeah, it's a CURLING IRON. not for erotic usage.. D;]. i've only ever seen tutorials on youtube.. was this stupid? MAYBE. but, i've had my eye on it for months. and just think of the [potentially] sexy hair possibilities!

i've been on a serious spending spree. i think i need retail rehab.

of course, i say this, but i have shopping plans later with my co-worker/bestie from my bakery job. we've planned this for a week and i'm mad excited.

THESE ARE ON MY LIST FOR SURE:

MAC's 'a tartan tale' gift sets!
now apparently, MAC does holiday kits every year [psh, i had no idea] and they have about a billion awesome holiday 2010 products out.
but i have my eye SET on these brush sets.

they're mini-size, but they're SO WORTH IT.
and they come in an awesome tartan cross-body bag.

i can't even decide which one i want. I WANT ALL OF THEM.
omg, they're so lovely.

[GUYS, I THINK I'M GOING TO GET THE FOUNDATION BRUSH ONE..]

anyways.

what's been up with me lately?
hmm. school, for one.
work..

..shopping.

OH, i went to a party on saturday. saw all of my best buds from high school.
good times for sure! i missed those bros.

here is a photo of my purple-haired bestie [from previous entry] and me.

isn't she adorable? she's like an asian ramona flowers. i love her.

SO!
i think i'd better get my spending in check. starting now!
christmas IS coming soon, after all!

that is, AFTER this one last shopping trip!

EDIT:

just came home from some winter preparation shopping with my co-worker bestie.
[she is seventeen and the cutest thing ever.]

unintentionally bought off-white/cream EVERYTHING to offset all the blackness of my previous purchases. oh man. still need to get that fur, though!

GONNA KICK THAT SNOW'S ASS.

SPIRALLING.

2010-10-20T14:07:00.000-07:00

CIAO A TUTTI!!

[this photo is from bro time on friday! it was awesome. also, apricot beer! WTF.]

i'm on my six-hour break at school and instead of doing something super important like studying, i like to take the unproductive route and uh, not study.

i don't mind, though. it's a perfect excuse to post.
this poor blog has suffered enough neglect as it is.

i feel so crappy right now. i'm sick. D;
i've been sick for like, four days now. i must've gone through 38763498726973 tissues today.

on the first day it was really shitty. i had a terrible sore throat and every time i coughed, i wanted to cry. it was so bad.

now i've got a full out cold and i've been blowing my dripping nose like crazy. i'm in the library right now too.
i can only imagine how pissed off the people working around me are. i'm sneezing and sniffling like a mother.

also, currently rocking a kleenex lodged in my right nostril. like a BAWSS.

from earlier, non-sick days.

october has gone by REALLY fast for me. it's already the twentieth!
and holy shit, halloween is just around the corner and i don't even have plans.
WAIT, i don't even have a COSTUME.

been throwing out some ideas, but nothing concrete just yet.

BUT UM, YEAH.

this past weekend was awesome.
FRIDAY; i went out for a girl's night with my very best broskies.
we went to one of the pubs downtown and tried being canadian [and MANLY] by taking on their international beer menu.

haha, we took this before bro #4 showed up. obviously already buzzed.

it was pretty cool 'cause this bar has like, eighty different beers from around the world. we tried a lot of different ones; beers from austria, china, italy, annnd the netherlands. they actually weren't too bad.

and we're the furthest thing from beer connoisseurs, but we did find out our preferences.
in the end, though, we got a bit girly and opted for some domestic ciders. and man, we tried apricot beer. THAT, was excellent.

BFFS SINCE FOREVER. man, this was good times. [it also shows how different out styles are, LOL. I DID SAY i didn't have any gal friends!]

after our pub adventures we decided to hit up the club. no photos from that part of our night, but it was AMAZING. I LOVE DANCING. as soon as i got there, i was on the dance floor. man, it was the best. i dance like an idiot. 8D

SATURDAY; roadtrip with my ponyboy!
no photos 'caused i was fugged out that day. ):

it was a LOT of fun! a totally perfect day. *u*
we spent the day doing normal date things like glow-in-the-dark mini golf, hitting up the arcades, photo-boothing, LOTS OF EATING and swimming! although, now that i think about it, the swimming might've been what got me sick.

this also marks the first time i've ever been swimming with my manboy!
..bikini-anxiety is to blame for that, but WHATEVER. it was really fun and totally worth it. we went on like 8734829363 waterslides and i almost drowned. A+++++

edmonton: biggest mall in canada. look it up.

on sunday; ehhh, back to reality. worked at the bakery.
then school, school, school.. and now i'm here!

OMG, you know what i haven't posted in a while?
THINGS I'VE BOUGHT.

actually, now that i think about it, i haven't been out shopping much lately. hmm.
I GUESS WE'LL NEED TO FIX THAT.

so earlier this month, i went on a mini-rampage of karmaloop's sale section;
YAY.

[small image because edited it - IN PAINT - without realizing i suck at absolutely everything]

i also bought a dress, but i forgot to photograph it. derp.

annnnyways,
i have an open book midterm to study for [LOLWUT], so i'ma leave you with these quasi-makeup/camwhore shots [PLZ DON'T FULLSCREEN THESE THX];
LOL.

chipmunk cheeks & unlined upper waterline..FML.

happy wednesday, bbys!

CLAP YO HANDS.

2010-10-06T16:52:00.000-07:00

an outfit photo of sorts.. haha.
i don't usually do this, so it's weird for me to post. this was from friday.

[been camwhoring, though! LOTS of makeup photos to be posted!]

sup, six-hour break between classes.

holy october! when did that shit happen?
halloween this month, YAY. i don't know what my plans are, but i hope i find somewhere to go/something to do. i kinda wasted halloween last year. :x

things have been okay lately. not too eventful, actually.

but today mother-in-law [LOL] & co. [boyfriend's step dad, aunt, uncle, grandma and gradmpa] left for china! for a month! now it's up to us to house/dogsit. it's gonna be an adventure.

on friday, my pony got more of his tattoo coloured!

[had to do some wonky cropping because of the awkward crotch angle.. LOL.]
i wish i took a photo of the result! i totally forgot.
it looks amazing, though!

...

so i NEVER listen to k-pop because, honestly, i can't stand it.
[okay, only exception to this is SUPER JUNIOR because my friend SOMEHOW got me into them. DON'T JUDGE ME.]
but i saw this linked off of mariel martin's [bomb choreographer] facebook page.
it's 2NE1's latest video, she directed the choreography for their single 'clap your hands'. so curious, i checked it out.

[BTW, this has nothing to do with anything.]

i watched this for the choreography first, and it's really cute. but oh man, i have to say the song is freaking catchy. i've never really heard anything by 2NE1 before. i have to say, i'm digging this single. and man, check these girls' attitudes. SHIET.

the blonde chick TOTALLY reminds me of chilly from TLC. look at that swag, goddamn.

to try and make this more relevant to gyaru...
their eye makeup is actually a really nice look for gal as well. more specifically so in the first segment. especially on the brunette [?] and red-headed girls.

and if you're into b-gal and that scene, i think you could grab some inspiration from the outfits this video. obviously, it does stray a bit from the look [hello floor-touching crotch harem pants], but remember this is korean entertainment.

...and THAT, ladies and [maybe] gentlemen, was my attempt at injecting actual substance into this blog.

~i wanna rock your body, i wanna make some noise~

LONG TIME, NO SHOP.

2010-09-27T22:39:00.000-07:00

SO.

real life with a side of school... avec work.
not exactly fun, but i'm just happy that i've got a routine now.
in the summer, i didn't do ANYTHING. what a waste of time.

but whatever!

got a pretty severe fringe cut.

today i went window shopping.
checked out a bag i've been eyeing.

unfortunately, it's a bag that is totally out of reach.
i was really just punishing myself. this is a seriously cruel form of retail torture.

why do i subject myself to this?

so i bought lashes instead. LOL.

and this baby purse.

[no, it's not from holt, OBVIOUSLY. the bag photobombed this ish.]

i'm going to try updating more.

i know i shouldn't say that. every time i do, it doesn't happen, but WHATEVER. i had a brief period where i got really bored with everything and didn't feel like putting in effort with makeup, clothes, whatever.

i suppose it was a good thing. i didn't where makeup for a while and it really did give my skin a break. hmm.

BUT YEAH- we'll see.
[edited this part because it sounded like an excuse for half-assery]
IDK. let's try.

it'll be cool, man.

OH MAN, I STARTED PLAYING COOKING MAMA AGAIN
GODDAMN IT I CAN'T GET GOLD ON THESE DAMN CHICKEN CROQUETTES GUYS

i've pretty much ensured that i probably won't do any homework for the rest of the semester. i'm really trying to avoid the temptation of pokemon too. UGH.

oh PS.
did some shitty nails with leftover deco bits and $2 h&m nailpolish:

YAY.

MACKING RON.

2010-09-17T23:06:00.000-07:00

DON'T ACT LIKE YOU AIN'T JEALOUS.

[..seriously resisting the urge to glue these to my cellphone.]

THIS LOVE IS SERIOUS.

2010-08-27T02:49:00.001-07:00

okay, so. suyin and me.
we usually have twin slips.

but WHAT IS THIS, I DON'T EVEN-

[literally within milliseconds of each other]

oh yam, we were meant to be~

CAPABLE.

2010-08-25T22:10:00.001-07:00

LET'S DO THIS.

TESTANDO

2010-08-17T14:31:00.000-07:00

another low maintenance, aka UGGO, day

Gonna take a page out of HANNYA'S[moncheripie.blogspot.com] book.and get my man brows fixed.

MAKE IT RIGHT.

2010-08-11T10:23:00.000-07:00

HI.
an update in the span of ONLY a few days.
omg, this never happens!

i don't have much to say, but here's my few days in review.

so when i got home from work on friday, i decided pull a SALT and do some hair stuff before our mountain trip.

it looks like my brain exploded or something.
believe me when i say my bathtub was a total massacre.

the result;

pretty subtle, and a LOT darker than i would've liked.. but whatever, it's not a complete fail like my last couple attempts. i do like it.
it's the boldest my hair's been in a while, for sure.

on saturday was the family & boyfriend mountain day trip.
it was really nice, it was sunny for the most part but it ended up raining in the afternoon.

[there are seriously more photos of us than any scenery, hahahaha]

i tried to go a little low maintenance. no extensions [like they would even match.. LOL]. except i brought like, some extra clothes AND ended up buying new pants, hahaha. i had like three outfits for that one day..

it ended up working out nicely, though. it started raining in the afternoon.
YAY PANTS. [they were from lululemon too.. LOLOLOL]

anyways, the trip was nice. we rode a gondola, did a lot of walking, sightseeing and some shopping as well.

i went on this gondola last year with my american cousins for the first time.
i was peeing my pants the entire ride.. my second time around was more or less the same experience.

UGH, I HATE HEIGHTS.

[could've fooled you]

check this gangster out.

we climbed a hell of a lot of stairs to get up to the highest point of the mountain.
there was a little cabin/lodge right at the top with some museum-looking artifacts in it. on the stone walls of the cabin, there was writing all over from people signing it. lots of foreign visitors had their signatures on it.

this was when we got to the top. CHECK THAT VIEW, MAN.
[horse looks like such a prep with his hoodie like that. :O]

horse and i were trying to find a spot to sign. and the only writing utensil i had was a goddamn gel pen. >;

actually, when i visited last year i signed it too.. and i found that it was still there! [albeit faded]

some douchebag desecrated it. D:<
but can you read it? it says [or USED to say], 'MOEBABY ♥ SUNNYBABY'

after we had some snacks and left the mountain, we took the gondola down. which was a hundred times less terrifying than taking it up. we drove out to see some waterfalls and be one with nature. or something.

horse skipping rocks. LOL.
despite this photo, he is really good at it.

and i skipped my first rock there too! it jumped four times. VICTOLY~

for dinner, we had chinese food. and for dessert, ICE CREAM!

WILRDRIFE!

then we went to the center of the town and checked out some shops.
exfoliating stuff i bought from the body shop;

this is seriously the best thing i've ever seen.
everyone should own this fine canadian souvenir.

we ended up getting home at like, 10 or 11 PM.
i was pretty tired and i fell asleep in the car, haha.

the next day i slept until like, one in the afternoon. D;

IN OTHER NEWS;

WHAT'S THIS? A NEW CELLPHONE?
WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

believe it, baby!

today i finally broke it off with my HTC touch and went to pick up my shiny new samsung galaxy s/vibrant.

see, i'm not an iphone girl and i cannot type on a blackberry to save my life, so this works out nicely.

it's sexy, right? also with sexy accessories.

this is me trying to hide my horrendous nails while showing the size of the phone.
[it's freaking huge].

i'm pretty excited about this phone. although i'm still trying to get used to it [lol, some typing issues coupled with how big it is makes this a bit harder], i do really like it so far..

sleek back with fingerprints for potential glorious deco.

and i also just realized something;

MOBILE BLOGGING, OH HELLS YES.

have you seen my other phone? i loved it to death until it started funking out on me.
unresponsive touch screen, alarms going off out of nowhere, faulty ringer.
but when it was new, it was prime. and my fail deco! oh man, i'll miss it.

i wanted to put this on it,

but it has no charm loop! WTF. oh well, though. i'll figure it out.

hopefully i'll be able to test out mobile blogging later today or this week.
in the meantime, i should actually be getting ready for work..

LATER, LOVES~

DIAMOND ON A LANDMINE.

2010-08-07T01:34:00.000-07:00

SO SORRY FOR LACK OF UPDATES, I STILL LOVE YOUUUUUU.

this photo is retarded, but.. HENNA!
this was from that day at the midway fair. i get a henna design every year, but i think this one is my favourite out of all the ones i've gotten [and i really love the placement of it]. what do you think?

anyways.

this is a photo of my current hair colour [ignore random bald spot, WTF]:

if only it looked that way in normal light.. SIGH.
this was like a couple days after i attempted dying it a 'lighter brown'. in the end, i think it changed like barely a shade up.

i bought yet another box of hairdye, though. i'm hoping to try it out really soon.
it's more RED than the other ones. hopefully it turns out.

..man, i should just invest in a palty box already. D:<

SO YEAH,
OVERDUE SHOPPING POST.

man, i didn't realize how much shopping i've done this summer until i checked my camera and remembered, 'OH YEAH I TOOK PHOTOS OF THAT ISH.'

MY SHOPPINGS
LET ME SHOW YOU THEM;

F21 HAUL;
-romper
-knit top
-blue dress
-unicorn tank
-two pairs of denim shorts
-high-waisted cotton skirt
-rose earrings [3 pair]

i also bought another four pairs of earrings, but i wore them and forgot to photograph them.. i'll see if i can find them. LOL.

really casual summer-type stuff. i bought all this in the beginning of july when it actually made sense. my city's messed, man. the weather here is all bi-polar and i end up wearing shorts when it starts HAILING. FML.

BCBG HAUL;
-one-shoulder silver dress
-plaid blouse
-knit blue onepiece
-empire dress
-one-shoulder embroidered cotton dress
-blue bolero [not from BCBG]
-jeweled clutch.

more dressy type things here. to balance things out, i suppose.

PS, I'M IN LOVE WITH THE CLUTCH. although, i suppose it's less of a clutch and more of a hard-shelled mini.. clasp bag..deal. yeahhhh.

WHATEVER. IT'S CUTE, OKAY.

i think it'd be cute with more rocker/punky type outfits, don't you think?
and it's BLINGY. THIS IS TOTALLY RELEVANT TO MY MAGPIE-LIKE AESTHETIC.

ZARA HAUL;
-floral dress
-blue v-neck sweater
-grey drape cardigan
-leopard cardigan

SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THIS DRESS:

i`m kind of REALLY in love with it. i loved it as soon as i saw it. and when i tried it on a lady walked by and was like, `that looks adorable on you!` EGO +1
if i wasn`t convinced before, i knew i had to buy it after that. 8D

i also bought this sweet leather jacket-y item [forgot to photograph it]:

i haven't even worn this out yet, but it makes me feel like a badass whenever i put it on. MORE ROCK PIECES? MAYBE.

super cute camera case from H&M.

frip frop [with a tribute to my favourite brazilians.. HAHA].
these were totes from walmart.

SO MUCH CONCEALER. i went on a benefit rampage and was totally obsessed with obtaining the 'confessions of a concealaholic' kit [top photo].
then like, a day later i bought the 'stay put set' [because i can't walk out of sephora without buying something].
now have two identical mini erase pastes. no big deal.

also got some dark tone duo glue.
the sephora thing is a sharpener lid for eyeliner.
..i made the mistake of replacing it as my actual eyeliner lid and got smudgy kohl all over my damn purse.

WHATEVER, THOUGH.

got some sweet goods i ordered through my coworker!

AVON HAUL; ...damn, i really like to shop in bulk.
-moisture therapy lip balm and lotion
-nail enamel in 'luxe lavender' and 'urban grey'
-mistake-proof mascara [THIS SHIT HAS AN ERASER, HELLS YES]
-gel eyeliner/shadow

the mascara 'eraser':

IT'S TOTES AWESOME FOR DOING BOTTOM LASHES ['cause i don't have bottom falsies.. D;]

also, gel eyeliner:

journals for inspiration [and bookkeeping] purposes.
they come in sets of three. AND THE COLOURS ARE SO CUTE.
not exactly sure why i needed six, but hey! whatever, man!

and my favourite things ever, NAIL STICKERS!

[took this photo like, two seconds ago. lol, they look like trading cards.]

i also have some jewelry and shoes that i've yet to photograph, but i'll update this when i do.

SO UM YEAH.

tomorrow i'm going out with the family and boyfriend for a daytrip in the goddamn mountains. it's gonna be nice, but we're leaving at seven in the morning and it's almost four am right now. UGH, DAMMIT.

i'll try and take a lot of photos of something OTHER than shit i buy.

TO CONCLUDE, HERE IS SOME ALLI-SPAM:

AGNES, IS DAT U?

bear shoe collection.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO SLEEP NOW.

GOODNIGHT LOVELIES~ ♥

ELLIPTICAL PATTERNS.

2010-07-26T21:53:00.001-07:00

today is my first day sans wisdom teeth.
they took out four, it was wiggidy wack.

before this i've never had surgery, my nerves were all over the place.
but surgery is a pretty big word for 'wisdom tooth extraction', don't you think?

either way, i was pretty nervous. while i sat in the waiting room, i read august ViVi. LOL.

when i was called into the surgery prep room, i had to gargle mouthwash.
my nurse told me to take my shoes off and put them under the bed.
then i got in and they hooked me up to all this shit. then they put my IV in.
IT WAS THE WORST. i EFFING HATE needles. and even worse than that, they did it WRONG and had to give me ANOTHER IV. EFF MY LIFE.

after that point i was just like, fmlfmlfml sleep me now. [brazinglish, yas?]

and wow, it was a really weird experience, being sedated. i don't remember a single thing before falling asleep besides laying there and thinking how my hand hurt and how pissed i was about getting another needle in my forearm.

BUT OMGOMGOMG, GUESS WHAT. when i was out, i HAD A DREAM ABOUT HIROKI. LMFAO.
we went SHOPPING. for purses. god, i wish i could remember the rest of it. i know there were other gals in it, but i don't think they were the charisma type, or even japanese. whatever, though. i'm awake now and have since left this fantasyland.

when i woke up, i was in the recovery room with two other people. both male. one was old and one was young. i was still drifting in and out of sleep. after a few gauze changes, i had to put on my shoes and walk around the room. then i was allowed to go.

so far what i've eaten between yesterday and today has been:
-cream of broccoli soup
-minestrone soup
-chicken noodle soup
-almond dessert tofu
-key lime ice cream from the boyfriend ♥

SOUP-A POPURA ;D

tonight my mom is making me congee. HELLS YES, SO EXCITED. ♥♥♥

[notice the cleverly-hidden beer]

SUNZY'S EARLY BIRTHDAY PARTY!

pre-birthday basketball.

the next day we went on a family road trip.
just to the next city over. we went to the mall for most of the day, then out for some eats before driving back.
CHA SIU BAO! best car ride snack ever.
dammit, just looking at this photo is making me crave it.

JOUNONOUONONOUUNOUNOUNCHI FOR YAM.
i thought of her the moment i saw this. at sears.

it was nice. really sunny, BUT THEN IT RAINED HARDCORE ON THE WAY BACK.

not a lot a photos of anything other than me.. haha.
i also bought a wackload of shit, but those purchases are for the next entry. (:<

and then, horsie's REAL BIRTHDAY! YAYYY.

G-RATED BIRTHDAY CAKE.

we watched a movie after and went to the arcade. sunny got the jackpot on this one game. it was like, some 'fishing' game or something. 1000 BIG ONES.

[just realized how this entry makes me look like an alcoholic. D;]

okay, i've spent half the day typing this up and i think i'll either edit or continue it tomorrow.

i feel gross. HAHA.

SOME SUMMER.

2010-07-21T00:11:00.000-07:00

UNICORNS I LOVE THEM UNICORNS I LOVE THEM UNICORNS I LOVE THEM UNICORNS I LOVE THEM

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP.

2010-07-10T00:15:00.000-07:00

HI, NOT DEAD.

WILL POST QUALITY SOMETIME SOON.

TOOK A BREAK, BUT THE SHOPPING DIDN'T STOP.

today is the boyfriend's birthday.

now, if you will excuse me..

~HOT DATE~

WHAT'S SHE LIKE?

2010-06-26T19:12:00.000-07:00

so, my last entry.
pretty much explains the cause of my absence.

i've basically lost my life to the internet and i'm terrified. this is an addiction.
and despite the fact that i'm wired amost 24/7, i NEVER blog! LOLWUT.

so, updates!

[screenshot galore coming later]

UH, BESIDES INTERNET ADDICTION.
i am in total agreeance with SUUYAM right now. i'm totally sick of online western gyaru communities. it's getting tiring and the 'drama' is just so over the top and ridiculous. i'm not gonna quit checking them periodically, but i think i do need a break. at the very least i will try not to make it the center of my life. [like it has been currently. god, why am i so nosy?]

other news;
I'M DONE SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER.
oh my god, you have no idea how good this feels.
while i still have to work and whatever, i'm just so relieved that i'm done with school [for at least two months]. the stress that i've been feeling for the past few months has just been so much. now i feel FREE. i don't have to worry about anything.. at least, temporarily. it's very refreshing. i hope to make this summer a good one.

[SO HAPPY TO BE DONE WITH BIOLOGY LAB, EFF THIS ESS]

to celebrate the last italian class of the year, my professoressa organized an end-of-classes lunch at the italian association's restaurant, where our waiter was instructed to speak to us only in italian. he was hilarious and the food was awesome.
[forgot to photograph the antipasti, lol]

gnocchi e marinara!

raspberry sorbetto, omg.

and espresso! napoli-style! :'D

it's been hard for me to actually try sleeping at a reasonable hour. this past week, my usual bed time had been like, 5:00 AM. disgusting! also i've been dog-sitting for my grandparents because they went for a week-long trip to montreal [JEALOUS].

this is zoysite:

he is the love of my life. he is also insane.

i'm actually leaving the house these days. it's pretty amazing. i got to see some IRL friends [LOL, HOW SAD DOES THAT SOUND?] and it has been glorious. last night i went out with some of my girls for my BFF's early birthday cocktails. it was fabulous. and the week before, i got to see all my friends from high school for my broskies' going-away party. it was really nice to see everyone again. i'm gonna miss my buddies when they leave for school. )':

on a coffee date, i took this photo of my korean bff's cellphone.

the stickers tell a story. the story is retarded and amazing at the same time.
the end goes something like, 'AND THE BUNNY TURNED INTO A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW'

the other day my boy and me went for bubbletea. we decided to try the fresh fruit slushes instead of the milk teas.

[he also got his tattoo partially coloured, if you couldn't tell]

sunsies got orange grapefruit with jelly and i got blackberry mango with jelly.
it tastes way better than it sounds. [..the grapefruit one, not so much. but at least MINE was good. :D]

JEURRI.

and i've done a bit of shopping;

an empire-waisted dress
black mini skirt with lace overlay
three pairs of earrings
gigantic ass sunglasses [as modeled by my boyfriend]

other than that, nothing has really been going on with my life. i think now that school has ended, i've become a lot more boring [if that is even possible].
BUT, my boyfriend's birthday is coming up [JULY 10TH!]! so i've been having a lot of fun with planning that and his present for this month. [his friends and me are thinking of a dick cake.. LOL.]

so today i finally got my gels done! after a hundred years!
my boyfriend's mom is always so busy at the nail salon,
i'm starting to think that she's the most popular lady there.
i was finally able to find a slot to schedule my gels in, i got those,
and she also waxed my eyebrows. mad hookups, bro. ;D

forgot how annoying it is to type with these. ffff-

YAY. [please ignore the index finger rash.. unless you didn't notice it, now i made it more visible. DAMMIT.]
i only just got them done today, but i already found time to play with those 3D nail stickers, i bought! my attempt at 3D nail design and composition is kinda fail, but i don't think it's THAT bad. i'm kinda hoping that these are reusable, though... D:

HERE'S A BONUS PHOTO OF STACKED LASHES. ENJOY THE BEARD.

thanks for following my blog, bellas..! IT WARMS MY HEART.

TALK TO ME, DANCE WITH ME.

2010-06-07T22:55:00.000-07:00

AWESOME CHAT EXPERIENCE.

suyin demonstrating her eyelash power.

YOU TOO CAN WITNESS THIS FOR YOURSELF:
http://tinychat.com/gyaru

ps; if the idea of talking to US turns you off, more guests DO arrive.
including the creator [whom i call BOSS SKILLET].

SO DO IT UP. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.

COOLER THAN ME.

2010-06-03T12:41:00.000-07:00

lol, i so wish i could pull two-toned hair off. [LOL @ AINA'S FACE]

OKAY, SO I WAS TALKING TO SUYIN THE OTHER DAY.
we discussed hair.

i'm already super excited about suyin's ideas. it all sounds so glorious.
[also, STFU ABOUT YOUR FOREHEAD. i can fit a hand and a half on mine.. DDD;]

so now i'm thinking, HAIR.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MINE?

i have a few ideas.
since my last dying adventure was a fail, maybe i could try again.
professionally.

this is a big deal since it involves money. HAHA.
it's tough for me to make a smart decision on colour because i have a weird skin tone. but i *really* need a change and i like the idea of switching up my hair.

also, style.
i think i'll cut my fringe again. this never changes.
all i really need is more top layers. i need crown volume like mad.
and to thin out the ends.

for colour, i was thinking;
-starting out with a reddish [maybe even burgundy] colour?!
-or maybe going a lighter brown to auburn tone
-or maybe honey brown
gradually moving to lighter colours in general.

BASICALLY, i have NO idea.
but i do have this palty colour chart which i marked for convenience.

i basically picked every brown there. hah. damn you, jpeg compression.

also;

starting like this,

so maybe not THIS insane, but you get the idea. LIGHTER.

[photos from rasysa]

maybe i'll post a photo of my current hair later.
i wish it was thicker. ):

man, has this place become a braindump or what?

CIAO. ٩๏̯͡๏)۶

JUST LIKE RAINDROPS.

2010-05-27T07:39:00.000-07:00

MY DARLINGS!!! ♥

yesterday i babysat my favourite bear, allison. she is so sweet, and so low-maintenance too! LOL. i am in absolute love with her.
MOAR CUTE 4 U:

future ulzzang, aiyaa.

BLAGHDSFHHSDF. soCUUUUTEGAFGDSJKGFS

no nails. YEAH I KNOW IT'S GROSS, OKAY

this girl never cries, i swear. except when she is hungry. she likes trying to eat everything she sees. also, she likes to look at herself in the mirror- OH MY GOD, SHE'S JUST LIKE ME. ♥

HAHA, I LOVE THIS.

the weekend was nice. it was a long weekend because monday was victoria day, chu kno.. the birthday of queen victoria. i don't really know how many countries celebrate this, but HEY it's cool.

on saturday was allison's christening. and OMG TOO MUCH CUTE.

horse and i dressed up in pink.
i was originally gonna dress in grey and pants but when i showed my dad he was like, MOE IT'S SPRING, IT'S THE TIME FOR LIGHT COLOURS AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DRESS FEMININE. AND MAYBE WEAR A DRESS OR SOMETHING.

which made me go WTF ARE YOU MY DAD? it was totally surprising. usually when i ask him about outfits he'll go, 'oh yeah, it's okay'. but hey, FEEDBACK. that was different. i'm glad i took his advice, though. i ended up wearing a skirt and going pretty girly. 8D

THX 4 HELPING ME EMBRACE MY FEMININITY, DAD.

after the christening ceremony, we went for the reception which was held at the international hotel. our late lunch/early dinner was in the penthouse. it was a really cool set up.

AND THERE WERE SEATING PLAN CUPCAKES:

NO this photo is not edited WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT

also, delicious caek:

mocoko con zia.

hey ur hott lol

for the centerpieces, they had a bear and baby-related confetti [bottles, rattles n' tings]. we ended up having a confetti fight. even when i got home, i'd have a trail of confetti following me from it falling out of my butt. classy.

it was an excellent day and it gave me an excuse to dress up. i haven't worn falsies in so long, so that was pretty cool too. man, wtf! gal-neglect or what.

...

okay, i'm at school so i think i should maybe work on school stuff now.
[such as italian homework that may or may not be due in ten minutes. OH, I MEAN DIECI MINUTI.]

CIAO BELLAS.

YOU CAN WRITE ME A LOVE LETTER.

2010-05-18T07:51:00.000-07:00

hi! it's sunny and lovely outside.

so now i'm discovering spring fashion.
this is a big deal because all i wear is black, grey and purple.
and boy's clothes.

[i actually thought that was a bit of a exaggeration, like that i don't ACTUALLY wear clothes for boys, but i dress kind of like a boy. BUT NO SERIOUSLY, right now i'm literally wearing a purple guy's shirt from H&M, blue skinny jeans, a black boy's hoodie from H&M and coach sneakers. wtf.]

one thing that's really getting me lately is the 'romantic cowgirl' look.
i initially hated the whole 'country' or 'mori gal' trend because i hate brown leather. [and colour, LOL.]

but now as spring is starting to peak, i'm actually really warming up to it a lot. maybe not even just the country/floral/suede/braided leather deal, but just spring looks in general. bright, pale pastel shades and light fabrics and crochet and lace. i think i'm slowly getting into it all and now i plan to stock up my wardrobe with basics that i can bring into july/august for some summer coordinates.

i never dress for the season so this could end up being a major fail.

and i'm always late on trends because i don't really follow them.

rediscovered polyvore, playing.

first set, can you tell? LOL.

lol, i suck at polyvore. COMPOSITION ISSUES OR WHAT.
my problem is that i match too much.

i've had this account forever and i never made anything on it! wtf!
..but i think i'm addicted now.

i think i like the cowgirl theme because my city is really western.
especially in the summer. we have a lot of cowboys and even have a rodeo.
and i've secretly always wanted cowboy boots.

i got to school at seven for a ten o'clock class.
i barely slept and i have a headache.

i need to get a new layout for this thing.

GOD, I'M TWENTY YEARS-OLD. WHAT THE HELL.

HO VENTI ANNI. D':

2010-05-10T11:17:00.000-07:00

sup bros

i'm twenty

[brb, weeping]

I DON'T WANT TO.

2010-05-05T23:56:00.000-07:00

mia cugina, allibear! we are first cousins. she is six months and i am not.

happy cinco de mayo, everyone!

i am not happy about today's date. but no, not because of cinco de mayo.
because it means i am five days away from my birthday.
and i used to get excited about birthdays. and i guess i still do.
i mean, i'm not completely jaded or whatever.

BUT

this ~~year~~ monday, i'm turning twenty.
i find this extremely upsetting.

but to distract myself, i did what i always do in upsetting [read: ALL] situations;

RETAIL THERAPY!

i bought the bare minerals 'get started' kit. i've actually been using bare minerals for about two years, but YEAH.

it comes with two foundations [light/dark], bronzer, blush, finishing powder and three brushes. i've actually bought this kit before, but instead of blush, the old kit came with foundation.. or some vitamin skin moisturizer. something like that.
i decided to get it again because my brushes are kind of wrecked and i wanted the blush and a new bronzer, but i didn't want to pay for it single. haha.

samplessssss. except all the foundation ones are for white people.
the colours are all 'ivory' and shit. the other samples are day/night creams.

LIKE THIS:

i was already feeling old, then i got this. upsetting.

miss dior cherieeee. i actually had my eye set more on 'ricci ricci' by nina ricci instead, but i wanted a nice perfume so that's what happened.

...and now for sephora time! i actually only made one purchase:

eyeshadow. if i were to tell you my intentions for this product, i would be very embarrassed.

BUT that wasn't the only thing i ended up with.. :D

YAY.

birthday perks! this is the only time where it was a perk. HAHA.

white shimmery eyeshadow. i think i bought that exact colour from mac earlier this year..

i was so confused by this eyeliner colour.
the lighting in my room didn't help. i was like, 'wtf? is this like, green or is this silver?'

i'm dumb.

OMG. this is actually the purchase i'm most excited about. and the most gal out of all the stuff i got too. DIY 3D NAIL ART! they're rubber stickers!

CLOSE UP. they are so cute. now i can actually fake that 3D nail salon look after i get my 'mother-in-law' to do my gels again. VICTORY!
i am so going back to the store to stock up on these hoes.

i almost forgot about this one. peacock headband from forever 21! i need to take a break from buying cosmetics and buy more shit to actually wear.. although i do end up buying a lot of accessories and never wearing those either. WTF.

i must really like wasting money or something.

...WTF. now that i'm blogging this, it's really hitting me how much i spent today. WHAT THE HELL HOW DID THAT HAPPEN

i actually wasn't even planning on shopping.. sigh.

oh well. hopefully my next purchases are actual clothes or something. i REALLY don't need anymore makeup.

OH PS:
tokidoki perfetto eyeliner! it actually reminds me of a whiteout pen, hahahaha. just, um.. safer.

i didn't buy it, but i was playing with it in sephora. this stuff has mad staying power. i put this on at around.. three in the afternoon today and it's now eleven pm. and i washed my hands too.

i actually just scratched my hand in that spot because i was itchy and it didn't even flake off or anything! YEAH. i think this one's definitely good for all you manba types. ;D

I FANCY YOU, BUT I'VE BEEN DESTITUTE.

2010-04-28T18:52:00.000-07:00

HI! i buy way too much shit.

i actually destroyed these because i wore them to that last class concert, like.. the chain came off. BUT IT'S OKAY, GUYS. I HAVE SUPERGLUE.

haha, you've seen this before.

GREY STUDDED GLADIATOR FLATS. i went to three H&Ms for these bastards.

deco stuff.

so i can be vain on the go.

creme blush and highlighter in one. possibly the most convenient makeup product i own. too bad i can't find it ANYWHERE.

WTF, i have wayyy too many eyeliners.

BEHBEHBEH

HAIR DYE, OMG. got really excited one day and decided i wanted to dye my hair lighter. colour is 4AR. the results of that later.

*SPOILER ALERT: nothing changed*
not sure why i bought these. gigantic waste of money.

CORK WEDGES FOR SPRING! i bought these so that i could actually practice walking in higher shoes. you know, before graduating to heels.

unfortunately it is fucking SNOWING. IN APRIL. i hate the weather in this city.

PLINSESS KEIKU

i went to the annual comic convention this weekend. lots of nerdiness. LOTS.

i saw a couple chicks dressed up as the chick from avatar.
and a bayonetta cosplay team. and countless kids in animal hats. sigh.

but i did meet some cool people, a wackload of cool artists.
which in turn inspired me
..to spend my money

I BOUGHT THESE TODAY. SO EXCITING.

after all that, at least these were free..

MORE FREE TAMPONS. YAY.

i actually have no idea about the order of these 'cause some of these purchases were so long ago.

i suppose i COULD check the 'last thing you bought' thread on ricoche. hahahaha. [i swear, i'm like the most active poster in that thread.]
but yeah, i'm way too lazy for that.

i don't even know where half these things are.

sigh.

BONUS!
here's a photo of 'spring'.
THIS SHIT IS REAL TIME.

have fun with your 'sun' and your 'heat'. it's not like i'm jealous or anything.

♥ DUE ANNI ♥

2010-04-26T10:26:00.000-07:00

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US.

here's to two years of pho friday!

steezin' since 2008.04.26 ☆

SWEDISH DELIGHT.

2010-04-17T11:43:00.000-07:00

thursday was my last day of classes, YAYYY.
but i still have two weeks of finals. BOOOO.
and then after that, spring courses. eff you, school.

it's cool, though. on thursday the student association hosted a last class party/concert. which was awesome, i went with my bffl4eaeaeaz. how they managed to turn our food court into a live music venue, i don't know. but WTF, it was awesome.

unfortunately, i'm a dummy and left my camera in my locker that day.

the band that played was pree dope. i've seen them live twice before and have a load of shit signed by them from wayyy back. so it was really sweet to catch them again. IN MY OWN SCHOOL. i have no idea how they set that up, but YEAH~

the show in itself was awesome. because i'm shorter than most, i was able to weave my way through the crowd and get to the front. bitches were trying to get in front of me. but NO WAY, MAN. i'm experienced with this. 99.9% of the time, i will be at the barrier in a standing show. and i will never give it up. NO EXCEPTIONS.

because of this, i now sport this delicious bruise:
i also got my $6 charlotte russe cardigan jacked up. whoever took it, i hope you realize that NO, that did not belong to any members of the band[s]. i was just hot and put it on the stage with the intention to pick it up when the show ended. fool. ps: that sweater is missing two buttons. JOKEZ ON U!

so yeah.

you know what weekends mean?
TRIPS TO IKEA, YAYYYYYYY.

this actually happened LAST weekend.. but since i did jackshit all day,
WE CAN PRETEND.

last week, I GOT A BED. YAYYYY. [it's called 'beddinge'.] more of a futon, but whatever. IT TURNS INTO A COUCH.

having a bed after not having a bed since august is the greatest thing in the world.
having a room after sleeping in the basement for like, seven months IS THE BEST.

so now that i'm back to my room, what can be a better activity than FURNITURE SHOPPING? nothing. NOTHING.
also, camwhoring.

man, i love ikea. i get so motivated when i go there. like, i get all these ideas about how i want to decorate my room and arrange everything. then i picture how much more productive i would be in my imagined workspace. i always feel good when i go to ikea.

desk want.

hime mirror! i had to resist the urge to drop the nineteen dollars on this. i already have a full length mirror in my room. one can only be so vain.

my main issue with my room is that it doesn't have a lot of space for all the things i need and have, so i usually look at products that are more.. um, space effective. which is why i ended up picking out a couch bed instead of a normal bed.

this is the poor man's alba rosa coat. ~*ghettofabulous*~

I AM LESTING.

lol, 'cocosball'.

PRINCESS CAKE! i actually bought these.

so um, yeah. ♥ ikea.

WHY IS SKYPE NOT WORKING? UGHHHH.

tomorrow i have to work at one. i'm thinking that i might try to hit up the mall before that. my boyfriend's and my [i never got the conventions of double posessions] two-year anniversary is coming uppppp.. and i still wanna get some additions to his gift.

he's currently in vancouver, vacationing it up. because he is a lucky bastard.
ugh, i miss him. but at least this gives me time to shop solo and no need to have to make up excuses at the mall or whatever.

..oh, and the opportunity to study without distraction. because school is so obviously my number one priority right now.

i should sleep.

GRODY.

2010-04-14T22:43:00.000-07:00

[lol, this is actually post-makeup. READ ON TO LEARN MORE!]

sigh.

i feel really disgusting right now.
you know those days where you just feel gross and unattractive?

yeah, it's one of those days.

i'm going to go take a shower. maybe i just need to feel refreshed..?

OH HAY~

[lol, i look tired in this photo]

i am a terrible blogger, but i think i'm getting back on track!

some updates from my life:
-so my boyfriend lost his fight. ): but the good thing about it is that he had a lot of support. a lot of people came out to see him [even my dad, haha] and despite the outcome, he knows we all love him. and there's always the next tournament! i'm still very, very proud of him, he did an awesome job.
-tomorrow is one of my besties' twentieth birthday! she's the first of our group to turn twenty, i can't even believe it. TWENTY THIS YEAR, GROSS.
-school sucks, and i have no time for anything. *excuse for not blogging*

FINALLY. i've got photos of purchases from my custom shopping experience!

one of the greatest days ever. even though i didn't buy a lot, it was a good party.

maybe i should start from the beginning.

that day i went to the mall after school. i bought an american apparel circle scarf. it was a sheer one in grey. it's so cool. i mean, i'm not one for the american apparel hype, but i knew i wanted it when i saw the colour and fabric.
SO MUCH FABRIC, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.
SHEER! ..when i unravel it, it is freaking gigantic. and since it's sheer it has a tendency to just hang in the middle, because of the weight. i don't care, though. i'll learn how to work it. HAHA.

so later that night, my mom told me she was going out to a 'shopping party' with her friends. i remember her telling me about the store it was at before [it's a local store that carries trendy clothing and also offers consultant services in clothing, makeup, and skincare- ZOMG] and that people can book place and they'll shut down the store and you can host a private shopping party for you and your friends. which is totally insane and amazing. anyways, she told me about that a while ago and i guess her friends actually decided to do just that.

when she called me about it, i was at home doing nothing with my boyfriend. i fell asleep on the couch while he played videogames. it was so boring. my mom called and was like, 'SHOPPING PARTY, YOU COMIN'?' and i was like, WUHHHH..? but my boyfriend was like, 'DUDE YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO IT WILL BE KEWW I'LL EVEN DRIVE YOU' so i was suddenly awake and told my mom HELL YEAH.

the store was located in a trendy avenue near downtown. when i got there, there was a sign on the door that said, 'sorry, private party in session'. i could see my mom and all her friends and their nieces and sisters. i met up with my mom and she introduced me to the owners and employees. they were all really young and cool and since it was a party, there were beverages and desserts and the employees were all drinking! HAHA. it was amazing.

seriously, coolest sales people EVER.
i am now in love with that store. *u*

ANYWAYS, ON TO THE SHOPPING PARTY PURCHASES!

this top is by 'gsus'. it's asymmetrical and kinda goes off the shoulder. it has a really cool abstract print and is very light. YAY FOR SPRING CLOTHES!

boyfriend jeans! well, not *exactly*, but they do have a bit of a looser fit. these were a suggestion by the ladies, but when i looked around, three out of like, seven of them were wearing these! hahaha. the style is called 'nookie' by the gsus brand. one of the ladies [and co-owner] megan, told me that they're good 'hangover jeans'. hahaha, she's so awesome. i rolled one cuff up to show how much i'd have to hem these for my height, hahaha.. i'm so damn short. ):

my mom bought me this top. it's actually longer on me, so it's more like a dress, haha. the brand is 'gsus' [LOL]. the orange/white part is an attached scarf. it's kinda frilly, like a clown collar, but i LOVE it! the girl who helped me [such an awesome person] told me that i could wear it with the frill forward ['unleash your inner carrie bradshaw!'] or to the side [audrey-style!], the way it is in the photo. i've yet to wear it, but i am in love with it.

i also got another black off-shoulder top, but i can't find it.. i think my mom stole it, HAHAHA.

GLITTER KIT! the colour is called 'joli rose' and it's so pretty! the brand of this glitter line is called 'lit' and it's a local canadian brand. the tagline is: 'NO GLITTER, NO GLORY'. hahaha. i remember seeing these popping up in the local shops a few years ago, but never really bought into it. but now i'm high maintenance and want to collect every single colour, LOL. it includes the glitter, the glitter.. adhesive[?], two application brushes, and a puff 'duster' ball for removing stray glitter that falls on your face. HAHA, genius. the kit itself is rather pricey [i paid $40], but it's pretty much a one-time purchase as it comes with all the essentials and i think it will last a long time. AND if i buy any more colours, they are stackable! 8D
the lit website is here.
'joli rose'

my custom sample skin care package that megan put together for me. megan is also a skincare consultant! what she did was she first assessed my skin using a bright spotlight and a HUGE magnifying glass. she checked out my pores and my skin condition and after that, she gathered a bunch of skin products and explained the products she chose and why i need them. everything was completely customized for *my* skin type and she also wrote up the instructions on how and when to use them. amazing, right?
the brand is 'gm collin' and it looks very reliable. i haven't used them yet.. but when i do, i think i'll put up a kind of mini-review. i have very high hopes for these products because i totally trust megan.

after all of this went down, i got my makeup done! the other owner of the store, lisa was also a makeup artist. and the store even had their own house brand! they specialized in mineral makeup and all their products were top notch. when lisa did my makeup, she applied concealer, foundation and bronzer/blush. then to finish it off, she used some 'lit' brand glitter!

[sorry for gross skin, this is unfortunately the only photo i have of it, besides the first one.] the colour she used for me was a bright kind of limey-golden green, which she said would make my eyes pop. she didn't use eyeliner because she used the glitter as the eyeliner. all of my mom's friends absolutely loved it, and my mom loves anything that brings out my eye colour, haha. that green is my next colour on the glitter wishlist!

oh, and this was all free..! :D

i really can't wait to go back, i want to bring a ton of friends and have a private shopping party of my own. it'd be so cool.

AND right across the street..

finally found a place in the city that makes REAL french macarons.

you have no idea how excited i am right now.

ONE STEP, ONE STEP, TWO STEPS.

2010-03-20T11:48:00.000-07:00

TONIGHT, MY KING IS IN THE RING.. ♥

i went to the coolest store yesterday, it was like a fashion consultation party. the sales associates were the chillest ladies in the world, and so freaking cool. and it was a private 'shopping party'. so awesome, the ladies were amazing. they would find clothes to suit your body type and style and whatever and they had free makeup and skincare consults and omg it was so amazing that i need to actually sit down for an hour to write about this.

and it'll come! but today i'm busy!
my boyfriend's got a fight today and i'm super excited and super nervous~
it's not until later tonight, but i want to surprise him with some stuff..

ahhh, this weekend has been too good so far.
finally i don't have school on the brain, the week was far too long.

oh, and i meant match when i said 'fight'. he's a boxer, btw.

FUNNY MONEY.

2010-03-17T21:43:00.000-07:00

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY, EVERYONE!

today is my mom's birthday!

although i will not disclose my mom's age, i will say that she is still as hip and badass as ever.

we celebrated her birthday at my grandparent's house.
and it was wonderful! BUT, it was kind of a mess..

because what happened was.. i told my mom i was working, WHEN I REALLY WASN'T.
it was a trick because i really wanted to surprise her! i remember when i told her that i didn't take the day off, she was really upset. like, to the point of being pissed.

so the idea was, i'd show up at grandma and grandpa's for dinner while my mom goes, ':O' and tells me that i am the best daughter ever.

didn't happen that way.

what did end up happening, is my parents calling the hospital office where i work. at least four times. like, wtf. they never usually check up on me, but they called like a billion times while my coworkers only thought of telling them, 'uh.. i don't know where your daughter is, actually'.

so you can imagine the major hysteria going on while i was blissfully unaware while picking out a cake for my mom. it was ridiculous.

all's well that ends well, though.
i showed up to the g-rent's place and explained my failed surprise and mom was just really happy i was there to celebrate with her and the rest of the family. my along with my immediate family and grandparents, my aunt and my baby cousin was there! it was cool, yo.
and the food my grandma cooked was really good, hahaha.

my cousin is the most adorable thing ever. she really is the gem of the family, and the center of attention at EVERY gathering. it's kind of funny because my dog is starting to feel like second best. he is very jealous. and emo.
he won't even look at baby alli, ahaha. so bitter.. i love him so much.

i bought my mom a red rose and put her card inside the paper.
in her card was a gift certificate for a facial, which she has been wanting.

and then i bought her a super fruity cake. haha.
that cake was fucking awesome.

my mom did end up telling me that i was the best daughter ever. i try.

here is a photo of my baby cousin, alli. she is a bear.

SO CONFUSED BY YOU.

2010-03-16T10:12:00.000-07:00

WOW, I'M SORRY.
I'VE BEEN LAME.

i'm baaaaack.

..back to wasting my money!

today i bought four american apparel rouched bras. [no pixxxx, gonna make returns]
they were 2 for $25. still a rip, but i got excited with the colours.
i got a lilac one [i saw it in the window and freaked out], a dark purple [eggplant] one, a heather grey one and a black one. i think i need to return the lilac one, though. it was mislabelled in size... I HOPE THEY ACCEPT IT.. JERKS.

and an obnoxious cellphone strap to match my obnoxious phone [which has lost like, all of its crystals]!

yay mickey heads!

look at this tragic phone:

in the same store i found old popteens!!!

i bought december '09. LOL.
it's cool, though. it seems that gals in japan wear spring clothes in the winter [SHORTS GALORE] so this is relevant.

so, wow.. nothing has really gone on in my life lately.
i saw alice last friday, beautiful film. well, visually. it was very jumpy.
but it was sooooo pretty.

um.. yesterday i got my gels filled and hung out with my boyfriend's mom, OH I MEAN 'MOTHER-IN-LAW'.. and my 'sister-in'law' too. she just bought a new house and wanted me to come with them and go furniture shopping. we went to the asian mall and ikea. YAY.

it was cool, that's where i found all this azn stuff.

i guess i won points with his mommy because she pretty much has planned when we're going to move in and live with them.. and get married. oh, and she discussed babies too.

um, yeah.

dammit, i want kumiko's hair.
not the colour, but the two-toned.. ness of it.
i think colour-wise i'm more partial to nonoka's hair. omg.....

speaking of hair, i need a hella haircut. or bangtrim.
maybe i will colour my hair too.

well, no. i need to save my money.
but eventually?

yeah, maybe.

i got to school at 7:20 today and fell asleep.
i woke up at 10:45 and now i look like a hot mess.
i never sleep anymore. i hate you, school.

this is from the weekend. omfg, my extensions are so obvious.
i need to work on crown volume, dang.

DT-DT-DT ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE.

BLOG NEGLECT.

soo...
i ate shit on my nutrition midterm.
mainly because i'm usually on here during class.
dammit

i kinda died there for a while.
but i'm back!

i'm sorry, life is school.
school is balls.
life is balls.

i actually have money, haha.
NO TIME TO BUY THINGS, THOUGH.
maybe this is a good thing?

it's been a while.
i need to get my gels filled.
and i need to get a cute sweater that i can wear to work.

yes, i said 'need'.

lactose intolerance plus coffee
no thank you

today i had an extra large coffee.
it's roll up the rim season! >> canadian coffee contest season
<<
i've won two free coffees so far.

you don't want to know how many coffees i've bought just to get those two free ones..

the one i have right now says PLEASE PLAY AGAIN. i want to yell at it, but i know i will play again.

jerks.

hmm, maybe it's a good thing that i haven't updated. seriously, wtf is this.

ps, addicted to chatroulette WHY

i'm so excited i'm gonna puke!

2010-02-27T20:43:00.000-08:00

I BOUGHT THIS DRESS TODAY.

LOL, it looks HUGE in the photo.. kinda gross. BUT i assure you it is supa naice & pritty.
i do need to get it taken in a bit, though. for now, BELTS AND PINS.
rockin' it mannequin style, bby.

after i tried it on, i was like OMG THIS REMINDS ME OF GOSSIP GIRL

it was 80 reg and i got it for 23 dollars!

i think i will wear it tonight for my cousin's birthday. :D

EDIT:
so i didn't end up wearing my dress, but GUESS FREAKING WHAT

at the club my cousin's birthday was at, there was a feature dj.
although i've never heard of her, there was a HUGE crowd for her.
she was super cool, but the funniest thing was

SHE WAS WEARING THE SAME FREAKING DRESS I BOUGHT.
in the same day.

i mean, WTF. what are the chances of that?! maybe it's a good thing i didn't wear it.
i definitely couldn't rock it like her. still, that's hilarious.

cousin and me.
he is now eighteen and legal. yayyyyy.

the party was awesome! my boyfriend and me danced the entire time.
he's not much of a dancer, which makes it that much more endearing. haha. i love him.

CANADA VS. US HOCKEY TOMORROW. .

BRICKA BRACK.

2010-02-26T07:56:00.000-08:00

yuh betta watch yo'self
my dog is hardcore.

i went shopping on wednesday. it was sweet.

i meant to look for an outfit because this weekend is my cousin's 18th birthday. it's gonna be at this club. i didn't even look at clothes that day.

i have no idea what i'm going to wear.
lol, neither does he.

BUT I DID BUY..
MAKEUPS.
sephora is my crutch. i will never not be able to spend less than fifty dollars there.

i got:
dry shampoo
face primer
two-pack sample size mascaras
black felt eyeliner
white pencil eyeliner
[free!] purple creme eyeshadow ..sample

even though i bought everything in smaller sizes, i still spent about a trillion dollars.

i'm so weak when it comes to makeup. i already have everything i need.. DAMMIT SEPHORA, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?
lol, 'rub-out'.

BABY PRIMER. OMG, it smells like orangessss. or citrus-y at the very least. this was actually an impulse buy. you know how stores set up the little samples right by the cash register so you'll see them before you make your purchase? they work on me EVERY GODDAMN TIME.

ditto with these. but they were so cute, i couldn't even help myself.

YAY, EYELINER. the black is good, i like how it's longer.. more like a pen. and i really like how creamy the white liner is.

free eyeshadow from sephora! i swear to god, ever since the sephora opened up here, i've gotten at least 20 free gifts. which is like, two thousand bucks spent there. FFFFFFUUUU-

I ALSO BOUGHT..
DOPE SHOES. i've been looking for something like these for a while [for that fateful day when i actually use the school rec center.. which is never], like.. puma style? these nike ones were on sale. AND THEY HAVE GRIP. awesome.

you know, if i actually saved all the money i've spent on makeup in my life, i would've probably been able to pay my way through school by now. ALL OF IT.

just got to school and i'm hella tired. OH HAY, I'M WEARING MY NEW MAKEUP TODAY.

i've also just realized that i have a tendency to take photos at school in the most decrepit areas. my school is actually nicer than this, i promise.

in other news,
i haven't seen my boyfriend in five days. OMG, IT IS AN ETERNITY.
i miss my leng jai. ):

BUT..

YAY WOMEN'S HOCKEY.
YAY WOMEN'S BOBSLEIGH.
YAY WOMEN'S FIGURE SKATING.
YAY MEN'S HOCKEY [so looking forward to finals, omg].

YAY CANADA. █ ♥ █

THIS IS A POST ABOUT NAILS.

2010-02-22T21:37:00.000-08:00

SPARKLY PINK NAIL POLISH. YEAH.

i already painted my nails a pale pink, but it started chipping. and when i bought the sparkly one, i couldn't even wait and remove the other polish, lol.

so on friday, i went out for japanese food with my sunny [btw, that is my boyfriend's name. holla.]. unfortunately, i gave up white rice for the month, so no sushi. yeah, wtf was i thinking?

i had a chicken yakisoba and he had a teriyaki bento box. weird thing about sunny, HE HATES SEAFOOD. WTF. i told him that he was wrong because he is chinese. he told me that i need to stop being racist. i told him he was fishcist.

while we waited for our food i pulled out my nail polish [i don't usually do this] and asked him if he'd do my right hand. he did, LOL.

i think he got his skills from his mom. LOL.
this is why i adore him.

ughhh, stupid photos won't rotate.

DELICIOUS.
we pretty much ate until we couldn't move.

haha, he is hopelessly attractive.

UM YEAH, SO ANYWAYS

I CAVED AND I AM NOT ASHAMED.

my cousin was driving me home from school and two seconds before we reached my house, i was like, OMG NO DRIVE ME TO THE NAIL SALON. and holy u-turn, i decided BITCHES IT'S TIME.

okay, so it wasn't that big of a deal, really. it's actually like, a seven minute walk from the salon to my house. whatever! so anyways, i went to starbucks first, bought an overpriced mocha, went to the nail salon where the ladies did indeed say, 'herro guhl! yu madda-in-raw wit client!' and my 'mother-in-law' told me that she'd be with me in ten minutes.

after her client left, she started on my gels and we started talking. i chose the pearlescent tips for my nails. i like them so much better than the white ones. i've actually never gotten any other designs or styles for my nails. only ever french. but i love it, so whatever!

sunny's mom told me that she bought a membership to the leisure center. she invited me to go with her and we were gonna go to the sauna after, but i don't have any steam room clothes! )': i'm still upset about it, it would've been awesome.

i went a little bit longer with the tips this time. man, when i get these filled they are going to be insane. [this entry has taken me forever to type because my nails keeps getting caught in the keys, lol].

you know, until last week, i didn't know you could paint your fake nails.
i thought you just had to keep them the way they were and get them filled when you needed to. then i bought nail polish remover that said, 'safe for sensitive and artificial nails' and i was like WHAAAAAAAAT.

so now i'm even more excited. i've never tried this before, but i think i will now. WITH MY NEW NAIL POLISH. oh mah gah!

i'm going to get sunshine to paint my right nails when i do, lol.
i'm a little bit apprehensive about it, but whatever. EXCITED.

POW.

2010-02-22T07:12:00.000-08:00

HEY GOOD MORNING

totes thought i was gonna get my nails done, today.
and i mean, i guess i could. BUT I DON'T KNOW.

currently, my boyfriend's mom [who gels me uppp] is back at work.
she usually does them for free and stuff. it's pretty dope.
lol, i know.. what am i waiting for, right?

WELL,
i don't know if it's a good idea.
and yeah, this is for the same reason as to why i can't get a medusa piercing.
i have no idea if i will be allowed to keep them. i know, nails are different.
temporary. but also, it'd be such a waste to get them, only to get them removed right away.
maybe i wouldn't care so much if it wasn't my boyfriend's mom too. haha.

lol. whenever i walk into the nailshop, all the ladies are like, 'OH, HERRO. YU MATHA-IN-LAW HEE TODAY. COME SIT!' i don't even go that often, but it's funny. [oh, shit. is that racist?]

my nails look like total crap right now. mainly because i didn't bother removing the chipped nail polish i had on before applying a new [TRANSLUCENT] polish over it. lol, i'm so lazy.

oh well.
i don't know, right now i'm so angry with school and this damn program that i'm ready to say 'screw it' and just go with it anyways.. maybe i'll call her, just to see if she has room for me.

hmm..

IT'S ALRIGHT.

2010-02-18T00:08:00.000-08:00

i really like these lashes.

i thought i'd hate them,
but they're a lot more approprate for work, haha.
..which is where i wore them~ they're more natural, i mean.

and the quality is better than i thought.

[lol, what a bullshit entry. i really have nothing to write about.]

hello my dear Canadian correspondece!

I'm drunk so please excuse me.

I learned a new fact about Canadian linguistics. is it true that the pronounciation of "z" is "zed"? if so, that is absutely fascinating.

you look more and more like the Japanese girls I saw galavanting when I was there last April. have you been taking any Japanese classes?

later gator!

HEY, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

SO
despite the fact that i didn't get to spend most of the day with my boyfriend, he did come over and we got to chill for a little bit. he came at the worst time, when i'm totally frumpy and exhausted with messed hair AND looking ready for bed. but whatever, i missed him. he is cute [and his hair looks messy too].

for this post, i was planning on going full-on cutesy and have a photo of me all made up with lush wavy hair and pink text saying 'happy valentine's day! ♥' in popteen font or something. yeah, i'm serious. totalli kyute, rite?

WHAT. OH YEAH, WELL YOU'RE STUPID TOO

lol. obviously, i am not cute enough for that.
and it's extremely cheesy. but it's VALENTINE'S DAY.
it's totally forgivable under these kinds of conditions.
seriously.

anyways.
GUNG HAY FAT CHOI!
did anyone pull in maaaad cash today?
i blew my money on food and lululemon. in the same day. LOL.

today, was sweet. i went to the MOUNTAINS with my family.
it was a two hour[?] drive out of town. i don't actually know, maybe.
i was asleep the whole ride there, hahaha. but YEAH. we went to the rockies.
it was our 'early' family day. and i suppose it worked out because my boyfriend ended up spending time with his family as well. and after he went to help coach his boxing club. so um, YEAH. our valentine's day is on hold until next week, i think. and to be honest, all i want to do with him is exactly the same thing as what i did with my family today.

since i totally forgot how to ski [and since my family has no idea how], we took the easy route and went TUBING. i'll upload photos later, but what tubing is is basically riding down the lower half of a mountain on those huge inflatable 'doughnuts' [donuts?]. you know, like the ones people use for swimming? like those, but more hardcore.

it was super fun. it's the perfect activity for lazy people who still want to convince themselves that they are doing something outdoorsy. they have a bunch of guys stationed at the top who launch you down the mountain. about 99% of them were british. it was keww, 'cause when i'd slide down the hill, they spun me. it was so awesome. i was so dizzy, i literally fell out of the tube once i got to the bottom. yeah, we were at that for about two hours. they should seriously make tubing an olympic winter sport.

OMG SHEEP

after that, we went ice skating! i felt so in sync with vancouver~ i've seriously become such a dork about this.. haha, but skating was really fun. i haven't skated since last winter and i really missed it. i used hockey skates because i'm too butch for figure skates. LOL. whatever, it's kewww. my skates are from last year, i'm so glad i bought them [at walmart, lol]. i honestly didn't think i'd use them again at the time, but i'm really glad i am. and i definitely plan to before the end of winter.

i took these photos while laying on my back in the snow. HAHA, i was that tired.

brb, snow nap.
this is retarded. i only uploaded this photo because my eyes look freaking insane. i'm actually kind of creeped out by myself. i really need to buy a new jacket.

after skating, we ate and went up and down the streets shopping. YAY.

i didn't find any olympics mittens [they're all sold out.. ):], but i did find an awesome toque from lululemon [omg, i think i'm becoming a lulu whore. WTF, I DON'T EVEN DO YOGA] that i fell in LOVE with the moment i saw it. and it really did fit my mission for the day: olympics/canada merch [i say canada because the only official olympics merchandise is sold at 'THE BAY'].

DOPE.

AND IT COMES WITH A PIN. HEEEEEE.

OMG HORSE

i did hit up the bay, though. it was cool. obviously, no mittens but i got a mascot keychain of quatchi!
SO CUTE. i love how he has a goatee. :B i decided to give it as an improv valentine's day gift to my boyfriend because he is big and cute like quatchi. just not as furry. and he decided to put the keychain on his boxing bag! aww, i love himmm. ♥

some random dresses from one of the tourist shops.

OMG CROW [that is a real crow, btw]

i guess this store used to be an upscale department/cosmetic store? either way, i would so pay for that chanel sign to put in my room, haha.

wow, i really must be boring everyone with all the talk about the olympics.
i'm sorry. i don't quite understand it myself.

and i've only just noticed that i really talk about canada/being canadian a lot. like, a lot a lot.

but i can't help it.. D:
what am i even trying to say here? I DUNNO LOL

this was what i got as a captcha for suyin's comment box:

wtf, blogger.

OH WTF MANDY MORBID [not a scene queen, but do NOT google her if you're in a public place] JUST TWEETED THIS:
yukiumi.com
LOLOLOLOL, AWESOME.

[ps: she is also canadian.. :B]

ALWAYS FRESH.

2010-02-12T07:15:00.000-08:00

PHOTOS! i look like an alien in this one. and my jacket is pilling. EHHH.
oh well. i worked yesterday and this was how i did my face. weird angle, but yeah. those are the pink box lashes i got off ebay, i really like them. but my mom said this make was a bit too much for work. i'd have to agree, especially since i work in a freaking office. it's pretty overkill, the eyes are too heavy... so i ended up leaving my hair straight to balance it. chu kno how it is.

my bangs are getting long again. i'm starting to push them to the side, which just looks really awkward and ugly because they're blunt cut. time to go in for a trim.

i took this photo in the washroom, hahaha. i work in a children's hospital, so everything is bambini-compatible. look at the soap dispenser:
SOAPY SOAP. really, how creative. i think he looks like a ghost.

i can't wait until i get paid. none of this money will go to me, but whatever. moreso towards my phone bill and credit card bill and blahblahblah.. but once those things are all paid, i can feel easy and shop without guilt again. LOL. and of course, that's the most important thing. it's also really nice to be getting back to two paychecks instead of one. the bakery is a fun job, but the hospital pays twice as much, you know?
[and doesn't make me as fat.]

anyways..
i am thoroughly obsessed with skins. this is getting to be very unhealthy.

and yeah, i think i have to get myself some olympics mittens. i really want a mascot toy. of the sasquatch! lol @ delayed patriotism.
YEAH.

so yeah! valentine's day AND chinese new year. i'm pretty excited, both are very relevant to me. but my parents want to go out of town on sunday. i mean, this is cool and all. yay family, but MONDAY is the family day holiday [is this just a canadian thing?]. why can't we delay the bonding until then? i know i sound selfish, but i was really looking forward to spending time with my boyfriend. and getting red pockets. LOL.

whatever, though! missing it won't be so bad. i mean, both my boyfriend and i are broke anyways. so really, what can we do?

[wait, what's this you say? you can have fun for FREE? PSHHHH.]

okay, dammit. that was a whole lot of nothing.
and i have eight minutes to get to class.

CIAO.

MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

2010-02-10T12:04:00.000-08:00

MIDTERMS ARE DONE.
reading week is next week.
my best friend in coming into town.
and sunday is valentine's day.

ACE.

i honestly have no idea how i did on my nursing midterm [i just did it].
but my main priority was bio, which wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.
then again, i stayed up until 3:00 AM studying for it the night before. WHATEVZ.
my cousin was with me as well. you can imagine how productive that session was.

right now, i'm in nutrition. obviously not listening.
what the hell happened to my priorities?

i'm sorry i write so much about school. but that's my entire life right now. obviously, it doesn't seem like it. i'm trying to fight it as much as possible. i know it's wrong, but fuuuu school.

luckily, i have a desperately-needed break. they synched it with the vancouver 2010 winter olympics. i guess that's pretty keww. i am not patriotic, i haven't bought my olympic mittens yet. i'm not big on the olympics, but i'm getting increasingly excited. maybe because there is so much red and white merchandise in the shops right now. even at lululemon, LOL.

also, my best friend [who is at UBC in vancouver], is coming back home for reading week. with two of her roomies, yayyyyy! we've already planned some girl's nights and karaoke dates. I'M EXCITED.

man, all we do in this class is watch videos on youtube. this one is on DIABETIC NEUROPATHY.

also, VALENTINE'S DAY!
i never used to get excited about it. but ever since i actually found myself a valentine, it's a thousand times more exciting. fun fact: i met my boyfriend on valentine's day, 2008. it took him half an hour to add me on facebook and two months after to ask me out.

i really don't know what we're gonna do. i'll post when i get more ideas.
i also don't know if i'll be working that day or not. i booked it off, but my boss never checks those things.. AND my parents want to go out of town that day.

DID YOU KNOW
that 1-4 cups of coffee or a moderate amount of alcohol can help to protect against type 2 diabetes? now you do.

i have to work today. i've got three jobs, but i've only been working one for the past month and a half. so now i'm back to the hospital and i'm nervous. i have no idea why.
i also have to leave class early so that i will be able to make it in on time.
i really hope this isn't a regular thing.

it's gonna be weird, man. this is gonna add up to four days a week of work for me now.
i *really* need the money, but it's probably a horrible idea to introduce two more working days into my already totally screwed up schedule. if i can barely study on two days of work a week, i really don't know how i'm going to do FOUR.

anyways.
this is boring.
why am i so boring?

because i don't have time to be vain.

AND NIGHT.

2010-02-09T23:07:00.000-08:00

lol, what internet ban?

instead of doing anything important,
i am brainstorming ideas for valentine's day
and trying on my yoga clothes.

i've got my N1112 midterm tomorrow.
and a gigantic nutrition assignment that i've only just started.

i am effed beyond belief.

COUNTDOWN.

2010-02-05T21:43:00.000-08:00

and so begins my temporary ban from the internet and all things distracting.

except not really.

things are getting pretty serious around here. srsly srs.

my last purchase for the week:
an effing stethoscope.

sigh.

ps: midterms suck, guys.

SCANDALOUS TOWN.

2010-02-04T22:49:00.000-08:00

WELL, HOT DAMN.

what a week!

for shopping, that is.
[also there are piles and piles of homework that i've yet to finish, but whatever. i'm not here to write about that.. yet.]

my god, i don't think i've ever bought so much at once in so long.
and by 'at once' i mean, well.. over the span of a week.

so many new things! it's exciting and depressing at the same time.

depressing because, WOW, i was already broke to begin with.
and now? i'm bankrupt. i'm a dummy.

but, um.. yeah.
LOOK!

from the teeny-bopper store! i bought these shirts for three dollars each [i wrote about them earlier]. i love them, they're super loose and totally comfortable.

grey and black cardigan from the same store. the sleeves annoy me, but i like this. it's nice and casual.

yay, argyle!

..yeah, i caved and went back to F21 to pick this up. THIS IS THE TOP/DRESS/THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT'S AWESOME, STFU. but goddamn, through all that effort, i wonder if i'll actually wear it.

OMG, I LOVE THIS. i found this cropped cardigan at F21, ten bucks! i think it's one of my favourite purchases out of all of them. :DDDD

YEAH, MATTE NAILPOLISH. i've been wanting matte nailpolish forEVER. but man, it's expensive everywhere. this was from F21 and cost $3, but it only came in two colours, teal or hot pink. but i thought i'd try it out anyways.

belts with bows, YAY. one is brown and one is pink. the tag said $5 each, so i got really excited and took both of them up to the cashier, only for him to ring them up as $2.50 each! OH MAN, THAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY.

my 52 pairs of eyelashes, YAY. my boyfriend handed these to me with a wtf look. whatever, he's a hater. i wish i had 8502983 eyes so i could wear them all at the same time.

annnnnnnnnddddd, my purchase from today! gym clothes! HAHAHA. well, more specifically YOGA clothes. because they are from the YOGA store, lululemon. have you cool cats heard of lululemon? it's a canadian yoga store, and a really big deal here. all the teeny-boppers and moms wear 'lulu'. haha. lululemon is pretty much a cult, i mean gigantic trend. they give out eco-bags with each purchase and everyone in canadaland owns at least one. like, 90% of the people in my school wear lululemon. and it's super expensive, but the stuff is nice. i don't do yoga or anything, but i had $140 worth of giftcards from this place that i didn't use for about a year. OMG, maybe i'll start doing yoga. i've been meaning to since i saw a new studio open up last month near where i live. HMM...

ANYWAYS, i bought a supa kewww purple sports bra and some baggy cropped sweat pants. which are really cool and not that baggy on me because my butt is huge. but whatever. maybe these clothes will motivate me to actually get active. HAHA, YEAH RIGHT.

goddamn, i just realized i typed a novel about a canadian yoga apparel shop. goddamn, i need to get productive. i also need to put a shopping ban on myself. i've gotten to the point where i'm shopping without money. UGH.

OMG! THE NEW EPISODE OF SKINS AIRED TODAY, I TOTALLY FORGOT.

i'm off to do some hardcoremegavideo-ing, and not do homework.

HOLES IN MAH SKIN.

2010-02-03T10:33:00.000-08:00

UGH. i don't know why, but now i have a mad urge to get another piercing. a medusa piercing. this is lame. it's happening again. the whole piercing obsession is starting up for me AGAIN.

i only have three piercings currently, and two of those are on my ear.

i went through many piercing-wanting phases and only recently began acting on them. mainly because i'm really cheap, but also because of the pain factor and my parents and just, overall uncertainty [i guess i mean with like, committment or something].

but now it's hit me all over again and it kills me because for this one is just not feasible. what i mean is that.. well, it's totally possible, but it is not going to work for me in my life.

UGH. THIS IS SO UPSETTING.

currently, i have both my ears pierced [i count these as one] and my daith [inner ear cartilage]. and in december, i got my nape pierced.

now i want a medusa piercing, which is a stud on the cupid's bow, like a reverse labret or something. here's a photo [from the official fanlisting]:

man, i forgot fanlistings existed.

i also want an eyebrow piercing, but like the medusa, this won't work either.

facial piercings won't work for me because of school and practicum and my future career. besides the ears, piercings just won't work in this field, if i had any, i wouldn't be able to keep them.

even just my nape piercing needs to constantly be hidden. hair down all the time because i really, really don't want any of my instructors to catch a glimpse of it and tell me i can't have it.

ugh, this is heartbreaking. if i had the choice, i'd just have these two more piercings [and maybe a few more ear holes, but that's a non-issue]. i don't have a strong desire to be needled all over, it's not one of those phases to me. it's just this thing; i never really get crazy about anything, but when i do, i will commit to it. in this case, i would, i so would.. but i can't. it really sucks.

these are the last piercings i want and i can't have them. BALLS BALLS BALLS.

but at least for the medusa, there is a solution. it's kind of lame, but i could get a magnetic stud. there is really no other choice, i'll just settle for this. to be honest, i have to.

i don't know.
it doesn't seem that bad, but it's kind of lame.
at least i can experiment with it. that'll be kind of cool.

maybe i'm just upset because there are all these new rules that i've never even thought of. and rules mean professionalism and professionalism goes with growing up.

and i don't want to grow up. ever.

sigh, i don't know.

i just made myself really, really sad.

PREE MUCH.

2010-02-02T08:18:00.000-08:00

WHY AM I AT SCHOOL RIGHT NOW?

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

i just got out of a 7:00 AM lab.
which is so wrong. 7:00 AM anything should not happen.

oh well, at least there's free breakfast for students at 8:45.
i've never had it, omg. and i'm here almost everyday at seven, WTF.
i've been walking around the school like an idiot for twenty minutes already because NOTHING IS OPEN.

i can't believe i even put effort in my appearance today.
4 days a week i just put on shitty make, brush my hair and hop in the car. but i actually CURLED my hair today. AT 5:30 AM. WTF, AM I INSANE?

anyways.
i went shoppan' yesterday, hollaaa.
i bought two shirts for six dollaa.
then a cardigan for six mo' dolla.

BRB, FREE BREAKFAST-
L-R: APPAL, MUFFAN, YOGHART. oh yeah, bby~

oh wow, there are more people here. and i'm the only one without a macbook. LOL.

so yeah, it was pretty much basics shopping. i should go again.
also, my cousin told me that F21 is having a sale.
i did go, but i didn't buy anything. so maybe i will today.

i'm stupid, i know i'm broke.
BUT OMG. seriously, i can't pass ish up.
i saw this like, half dress? it's like, empire waist. with a kind of tiered bottom that went down to my thigh. it's short... eh, i don't know how to describe it. but it came with a belt, like a cincher. it was $10.

yeah.. i think i'm gonna go again.
if i'm still thinking about it, then i think i need it.

today i'm wearing my four-dollar walmart hat.

i look like an effing hipster. DAMMIT

BHM

2010-02-01T21:32:00.000-08:00

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

BE JOYFUL.

2010-01-31T21:12:00.000-08:00

last night was awesooommmmmeeeee.

went out for coffee with my bes frenz.
then had a nice dinner with sum famiry.
good talks, good times.

I LOST AN EYELASH, THOUGH. UUGHHHHH.

my favourite overpriced ones too.
they were ten dollars from sephora,
and now i only have ONE. THIS IS LAME.

i really hope the ones i ordered come in soon.
but i'm more likely to forget about them by the time they DO come in.

anyways, today i worked.
today was freaking boring.

i was invited to this 'event' on facebook, read this description:

''Sweat pants, hair tied, chilling with no make up on, thats when your the prettiest I hope that you don take it wrong'' -Drake

Let's make it happen.
Invite your friends.
On Feb.17th, get your sweatpants on, tie your hair, don't even think about that eyeliner, go all natural.

..i don't think so.

first of all, i don't wear sweatpants.
and second of all, this is what i look like without makeup:

no thanks.

HAY GURL, HAYYY.

2010-01-30T17:26:00.000-08:00

COFFEE WITH MY GIRLS

MEGAVIDEO SUCKS.

2010-01-29T23:37:00.000-08:00

OH MY GOOODDDDDD OMFGKHDKSJHFKAJHPWEUADSHGJFDS;LKHFSDLJ

WTF IS THIS

all i wanted to do was watch the series premier of skins 4 THAT'S ALL I WANTED

IT WAS GETTING SO GOOD

i hate you, megavideo. i hate you so goddamn much.

PRETTY YOUNG THING.

2010-01-28T23:28:00.000-08:00

i'm in the mood for FUNK and DISCO.

i started youtubing songs that popped into my head.
it started with 'do the hustle' [LOL] and moved onto 'let's groove'.

and now i'm listening to 'P.Y.T.'
by mr. jackson.

sunny bought 'this is it' yesterday and we watched about half of it.
it's really unfortunate that he [michael jackson.. not sunny, haha] was never able to perform it. but wow, even the rehearsals are bomb.

i hope we can finish it tomorrow.

ANYWAYS.

i like how half of this blog has nothing to do with anything.
but here, check out what i got in the mail:

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. mail order tampons, HOLLAAAA.
[god, this photo is fug] i found an offer for free tampons on the OB site.
i've pretty much cross-posted this everywhere because i was so excited.
..i really just ordered them for the little plastic case.

i wish i got the pink one, but it's randomized. i'd probably be half-tempted to deco it. HAHA. ~SUPA KAWAII TAMPON CASE DESU~

i'm currently on the hunt for some gigantic obnoxious cell phone charms. my current cellphone is so sad-looking. i had two little monster charms and total half-assed deco on it. [actually, no. the gems took for-freaking-ever, but it's JUST the gem sheets. and they started falling off the same day i applied them.]

here's what it looked like when i first finished it.

[only of the back because i had no idea what i was doing when i did the front.] i know it's dreadfully tacky, but this was my first attempt at blinging out ANYTHING.

..i really should've taken that photo on a less distracting backdrop.
now i'm down to one monster [the white one] and.. well, what's left of the deco.

but OMG, the cellphone charm! i want something HUGE.
i remember one of my friends from beijing had the coolest phone, but WOW her charm went halfway down her arm. I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

i'm talking like, huge plastic toys or plush dolls that equal the size of your fist. i want to have to carry my phone around with two hands. oh yeaaahhhhh~~

visual examples:

from strapya [obv]. haha.. 'Big and brilliant ribbon makes you the cutest girl!'

OH SNAP, NEVERMIND. i like this one better:

it even comes in black.. it'd be better in purple, though.
i'm such a sucker for sparkly/shiny pink objects now.
when in the hell did i get so girly?

lol, i could make this. BUT CLICK THAT LINK AND LOOK AT THE WOMAN'S EXPRESSION. she is so joyous! who knew a cellphone puff could make a lady so happy? i absolutely must own one of these.

OMG, MAMESHIBA. why are you not on my phone? ['Squeeze the Mameshiba!' 'They appear likely to talk you trivia.' LOL.]

and etc.
damn, i think i should just buy all of these and hang them all off my phone at the same time.

..i think i'm gonna have to go to chinatown [or a craft store] after school tomorrow.

SULTRY.

2010-01-27T21:23:00.000-08:00

now kim kardashian is in no way my makeup/style inspiration,
but i have to admit, she's got some amazing looks.

i really dig this tutorial.
maybe not too 'gal', but hey. the eyeliner techniques are pretty relevant.
..not the extreme wing, but the blending and heavy application. YEAH.

i also totally love the fact that she used tape to get that sharp line.

WATCH THIS:

i think an inspiration post is in order!

A THOUSAND.

2010-01-26T20:06:00.001-08:00

school is

ENDLESSLY FRUSTRATING.

i am just so sick of it. i'm ready to throw all my textbooks off a very tall building directly onto the heads of all my instructors. these textbooks are pretty heavy, so they'll do a good deal of damage.

today was a bad day for me.
i'm pretty upset, but i don't have time to be.

also, i have a gigantic headache. i feel like my skull is plugged or something.

BAD TIMES IN THE LAND OF MOCOKO.

in other news, here are all of the things i've bought in the past weeks/month. it's not even a lot, but now i realize why i don't have any money.

there's about $150 in this purchase alone. WHY, MAC, WHY.

i haven't even looked through the cancam. and i don't want to, it's too old for me. total waste of money.

found these on sale! and couldn't afford tea for the rest of the week.

STUPID SCHOOL.

i lost my lab coat so i had to buy another one today. i was so pissed.

maybe a more fitting title for this post would be: REASONS WHY I AM BROKE.

wow, i procrastinate at everything.
i had to write a paper, which i ignored so i could post this.
and i ended up ignoring this too.

it's now 3:16 AM. the paper still isn't done.

DEAR SUYIN[MEI],

2010-01-25T10:40:00.000-08:00

RIGHT NOW, i am sitting in the school cafeteria with my cousin.
we're taking up a whole three tables with our crap spread out all over the place. there are seven chairs, but we're only using two. suck it.

he's telling me retarded customer stories from forever 21.
makes me so glad i don't work in retail.

none of this is important information. but it's CURRENT.

IN OTHER NEWS, I HAVE A NEW BLOGFRIEND: SUYIN.
..by whom i am half weirded out, half intrigued.

i think we are internet soulmates.
i also think that i absolutely fail when it comes to not being creepy.

just realized how i don't know anything about you. other than the fact that we are two asians[?] who want to look like asians who want to look white. what.

but HOORAY. someone to talk to about hair and makeup and nails and nago cir fails, OMG DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUUUUEEE~

BTW,

immediately after ripping into one of the bags, i regretted it.
these chips are sour and disgusting. they're too RED. i prefer lays.

i moved to the drama wing, now sitting on the floor.
my ass is getting numb. dammit, i have to get to nutrition class now.
UM, BYE.

PS; i am jealous. i want your fluffy green wig. it looks so PLUSH.
PPS; a comparison to magibon is the ultimate insult. you should shank them.
PPPS; i can't comment on your entries. ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS INCONVENIENCE? i think you should attend to this problem immediately. or maybe it's just me? I DUNNO.

GAMMA RAY.

2010-01-24T22:02:00.001-08:00

this window has been open for at least two hours.

today was good. for a sunday.
i lunched at a chinese restaurant with my family, grandparents and a hundred other seniors. [no, i'm not going to explain that one.]

today, i worked from one 'til seven. after work, i visited my boyfriend. YAY.

currently he's lodging at his mom's place because they decided to go on a vacation without him. HAHA.. ): also, he's dog-sitting.

so, spent time with him [and dog] and went out for pho.

and i WAS right, HAHA. he did get me a gift. YAY. check:

i love it, but i want to get a longer chain for it. actually, no- i NEED a longer chain.

it's supa q, but it's a bit small for me. probably because it was made for someone with a ten-year old neck. DON'T WORRY GUYS I LOOK LIKE I'M TEN THIS IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE

i found a wackload of photos that i took of myself the night i went out for karaoke on my cousin's birthday, which was on... wow, the sixteenth?!
[remember, this was pre-eyebrow grooming session]

because looking half-hamster is supaa kawaii desu ne?

haha.

i also found photos from later that night, uh..

i think i've pretty much turned away any and all potential readers.

PREREQUISITES.

2010-01-23T23:29:00.000-08:00

hmm.. i ordered 52 pairs of lashes on ebay. ahahaha.
i'm still waiting for them to come in. i can't wait!
once i get them, i can use them as.. gifts. :?

today i worked from 6:30 AM until 1:00 PM. which wasn't that bad.
but like i said, i was hoping i'd go out [AND SHOP!], but that didn't end up happening! it's too snowy and cold outside. and i really didn't feel like driving because the roads are slippery.

so.. i really didn't end up doing anything.

i [sort of] curled my hair, though!

this photo makes me lol because it shows how messy i am [and that all i do is play videogames].

...i really need to find a different location to take photos. PREFERABLY OUT OF THE HOUSE.

at times like this, i really wish i had somewhere to be. ):

CADOOZLES.

2010-01-22T12:23:00.000-08:00

SO!

i am kind of stupid. i didn't sleep last night.

or, technically i did.. but only for twenty minutes.
so i'm at school right now, and my legs feel like jelly.
and i took a mad nap in the library.

my cute fringe doesn't look very cute all slept on.

but despite all the lame-ity of today, IT'S FRIDAY!
[ignoring the fact that i work at 6:30 AM tomorrow, shutupshutupshutup]

unfortunately, my boyfriend is headed out of town.
but maybe he'll get me something... :B

and yay, weekend time. i hope i go shopping.
we'll see.

but for now, i'm actually starving.
and i have to meet my class project group really soon.

ARRIVEDERCI!

YURIKO.

2010-01-21T12:08:00.000-08:00

i have the day off from school!

so now i am going to go and get my fringe cut.
it's gotten so long, i think the last time i had a haircut was before christmas.
...a few days after getting my nape piercing. haha.

look at this fug hair:

i've pretty much just woken up, so i also look lot more disgusting than i should.

but yes, i will take a picture of it after.
my face is starting to get itchy with all this hair in the way.

CIAO CIAO!

EDIT:
didn't think this was enough to warrant a new post but, YAY I CAN SEE

then i went to my boyfriend's mom's nail salon place and got my eyebrows did. i don't look like a dude anymore!

well, mostly.

also, i bought the most bomb snacks at the asian supermarket.

and this because i love it, despite the jun/lena overkill.

...and then i did homework.

I'M GOING TO STOP BEING A LOSER AND GO TO BED NOW.

COOL.

BUONA NOTTE!

2010-01-20T22:49:00.000-08:00

HELLO.

all my friends have blogspot now [all three of them, LOL].
so now i will too.

maybe this is just for me to follow and keep track of people, i don't know.

but my plan is to post photos and ask questions.

mainly about the crap i buy.

THANK YOU.
