My Halloween 2012

2012-11-01T00:59:00.000-04:00

So of course I didn't do all of this on one day. Mike and I were very festive for halloween this year and probably the most festive we've ever been!

This year was our first time carving pumpkins! It took about 3 hours!!! We originally planned to go pumpkin picking but due to the bad weather we didn't have a chance so maybe we'll go next year. We went to the grocery market instead to buy pumpkins and carving tools.

So of course Mike carved a pumpkin of his Evo (his car, Mitsubishi Evolution 9) and I carved a pug because Mike and I both really want to get one. I also carved Mike <3 Shirley on the back because I had spare time waiting for Mike to finish with his. Turned out pretty well, don't ya think?

I also had time to paint my nails into candy corns! I'm not a huge fan of eating those overly sweet candies but it's cute and colorful for halloween. I also wanted to try out my new nail polishes that I haven't had a chance to use.

I decided to try a little halloween makeup and drew a spider web on my face. It's sloppy because it was last minute and I didn't have much makeup on me and I also did this in the car while Mike was driving. LOL I had one eyeliner (Milani liquify) and it got VERY dull after this LOL and I didn't have a sharpener or liquid liner and a tiny eyeshadow....it's pretty good consider the limited makeup I had.

Mike and I and some friends went to a place called Witches Woods which has 3 haunted houses and 1 haunted hay ride. It was really fun and i'm glad we went! I had a lot of fun chasing the "scary" guys with costumes around because I wanted a picture with them. Which is ironic because they're usually the ones chasing people. LOL

I did this half skull look for work on Sunday. It was just for fun and we had a little contest between cast members at my work place.

I didn't buy any costumes this year for halloween. Mike and I had a cute couple costume in mind but we never ordered them and because we didn't expect to do anything on halloween. Last minute things came up and I found an old costume lying around. :)

I added the tights and knee high socks and booties to the outfit :) I didn't wanna show too much skin :p

Hope you all had a fun and spooky halloween!

Awesome Drugstore haul (Use coupons!)

2012-10-31T02:21:00.002-04:00

This was a long overdue haul! I bought everything at CVS and got a lot of coupons and good deal for everything! Unfortunately I no longer have the receipts so I don't have the exact numbers.

I used a manufactures coupon for the Garnier Fructis items for buy one get one free. So I bought the Shampoo (which was on sale for $3.33) and got the condition for free!

I had a $1 off Maybelline product coupon and there was a sale at CVS for $3 extrabucks with a $10 Maybelline purchase. I also used a $1 off coupon for the Wet n Wild Fergie nail polish and the nail polish was on sale for $1.99 so I got it for $0.99!

I had a CVS coupon for a free travel size of the Clear scalp and hair therapy shampoo! I heard this was really good, but I have yet to try it. I plan to use it when I go traveling.

I paid around $2 total for everything but after the $3 extrabucks for the Maybelline purchase, everything was technically free! I love coupons and I'm not ashamed of using them. They save me money and i'm sure everyone loves saving money! So cut out those manufacture coupons when you see them and save up!

Bright floral outfit of the day!

The Chase...

2012-09-12T22:22:00.001-04:00

So the last time I talked about "M" was on my 20th birthday (May 4th). Well it's been awhile and a lot has happened. I thought I'd catch you all up on some updates. During the chase, it was really fun (as it usually always is). M and I would hang out more often and he would slowly introduce me to more and more of his friends.

These two pictures was my first time meeting his friends Kevin and Amy. We all went to play mini golf that day, and with his cousin Cindy, and her boyfriend Chris, and it was my first time playing mini golf! I actually won (beginners luck!) and at the last hole, the stupid clown didn't take my golf ball so I ended up keeping it for memories. (There was an ugly huge clown and you had to hit the golf ball exactly into his mouth) I hit it in his mouth 3 times but he didn't want it LOL

We ate a Texas Roadhouse. Their buns are SOOO GOOD!! LOL

From Left to Right : "M", Kevin, Chris

From Left to Right: Cindy, Amy, Me

"M" Is really into cars. He's taught me a lot about them and I find it interesting. I'll talk more about his car and his car obsession later on ;)

Haha "M" is so silly. I told him those things were called clutches and he thinks of the clutch referring to cars because he drives standard (manual). He calls this his "Stage 2 clutch". You guys don't wanna know where stage 3 ends up...haha

I didn't realize at the time, because I was still in denial, but this picture was taken on our first date. It was the first time of us going out together with just the two of us. We ate at Olive Garden. He's so silly!

Again M and our friend Kevin goofing around in Target, LOL, one of our favorite stores.

M has been a really sweet guy. The whole time during the chase, he is very supportive of my decision. I didn't want to date at the time but he wasn't rushing anything. He just wanted to get to know me better and he was happy just to see me. He loved to talk to me and would get back to my msgs asap. I felt really special whenever I was around him. I slowly started to fall for him...and my friends noticed too.

They thought it was really cute and continuously asked me if we started dating yet. They told me "M" really really liked me and I could tell, but we just liked to enjoy each others company.

I'll talk more about "M" later on and reveal what his name is as well :) Just wanna keep it a lil mystery for now. And Our story will continue on next time!

Previous makeup looks

2012-09-12T22:02:00.000-04:00

Hmm I have lots of pictures to show you all...But first let me show you some old pics of the makeup looks I did. :) Maybe i'll do a future tutorial? Tell me which one(s) you like!

Wow it's been awhile! Mega update!

2012-09-11T23:49:00.002-04:00

Hey guys! Sorry for not blogging in so so so long! It's been awhile hasn't it? Well I don't even really know where to start.

Hmm...well I have a new baby sister! Her name is Giselle! She was born March 31st and I am 20 years older than her! (I feel sooo old!) I don't get to see her though because her and my parents live in Hong Kong. I know...my life's a bit on the complicated side.

You guys are gonna hate me for this...but I've been eating lots of good food....lol and here are just some pix of them.

Theres a lot more to update you guys on so I'll just have to do it slowly! :)

My 20th Birthday!

2012-05-05T07:26:00.002-04:00

Yesterday was the best birthday I've ever had. I'll never ever forget it. I've been anticipating it for awhile because "M" was talking about it for the longest time and all my girlfriends kept giggling about it.

So "M" has had the whole thing planned a month ahead of time, right when we first met and started talking. He planned the whole entire day out for me full of surprises, and at first I knew what two of them were going to be. I thought it was going to be dim sum in the morning and then F1. The ironic thing it turns out the two things I thought was going to happen never happened so "M"'s surprise was never ruined. :)

We went to eat at yummy cafe instead of dim sum cuz we were running a bit late. Met up with K and A. Then we had time to spare so we went to the chinese grocery market to get some random things. Then K and A took the lead and drove while we followed from behind. I had no idea where we were going the whole day. Lol

We went to Plaster fun time! It was awesome. My first time ever going and I had a lot of fun. Painted a pink cow! hehe and met up with the whole entire group!After that we were supposed to go to f1 but then it was over an hour wait which was unexpected so we went to DnB instead. Chilled around there and it was fun. "M" won two jackpots on the first try AGAIN...smh has more than 39k of tickets lol He always asks what I want but hmm honestly nothing good to get. And one of my girlfriends decided to have some fun and got a whoopie cushion and played it on "m" and our other friend "K" hahaha

After DnB everyone said goodbye and said they had to leave cuz they all had work early in the morning. So I was surprised because it was only around 9. I hugged all the girls and said goodbye. Then I asked "M" if he wanted to get food and he said we'll get something close...so drove down the street in the mall parking garage. I started getting suspicious cuz I saw our friend's STI and heard it too...hella loud LOL I asked "M" and he said nahh just someone else...we went to a Hibachi restaurant and when we walked in I said "two" for table of two...and "M" walked in front and said "reservation" haha

Turns out everyone all walked in and said surprise! I had never been to hibachi before but it was a lot of fun. After eating hibachi...the waitresses made a HUGE noise with the gong! They brought out the cake and everyone started singing happy birthday to me! It was a hugeee cake with chocolate covered strawberries on top! It was my favorite cake too! Tiramisu <3

Later after all the singing and pictures...when we were all finished eating the cake...I got caked! lol my lovely girlfriends...<3 gotta love them haha After the caking...I opened up my gifts from "M" It was so cute...came in a Monkey bag...He painted the STI model white for me because I want to get a white STI later on...we're gonna build the model soon. "M"'s so sweet, he painted the lil car model with real car paint. Then I read the cards that everyone signed and "M" wrapped his main present REALLL good...4 layers smh. haha He ended up buying me the Burberry Brit Sheer perfume. So sweet of him. I lightly mentioned it to him when we first started talking and he actually remembered <3

Then afterwards my friends C&K, and A&K got me gifts from Pandora! Awww and A&K got me a strawberry charm! I was like heyyy!! I wanted this one haha...apparently "M" told them cuz he remembered I mentioned it before. lol

As if all this wasn't enough...When everyone left to go home...I thought the night was over but "M" said I still have one last surprise for you for the night...we drove and drove..and then I recognized where we were...we were at "A"'s house! LOL and he had me turn around...and I heard paper crinkle...I thought he was going to ask me out...but I turned around and I saw a huge Totoro cake! It was soooo cute and sweet of him. Lately he's been so occupied going home straight after work just to make me the cake from scratch <3 Sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me before. It's one of a kind and special.

Then as if that weren't enough he waited till just before midnight...to be the last to say happy birthday to me...saved the best for last haha ^_^

hmm for those of you who wonder, "M" and I aren't even going out! Yes...he is in the process of "chasing" me...but for now we're just close friends. For someone to go through all this to surprise me and impress me, it's just amazing. All our friends just assume we go out or wonder why we're not yet...haha we're just full of surprises and not going to rush anything...but I can tell he truly cares. I've never had anyone make me feel so special and loved...and the way he looks at me as if i'm his whole world <3 I guess we're sorta "dating" in a way...but just not offically :p He makes up for all the shit that happened in the past..."save the best for last"

Seeing past all the bullshit

2012-04-09T00:03:00.000-04:00

*sigh* People are so full of shit, it's not even funny anymore. J confessed and asked if he had a shot at being my boyfriend on Friday. Obviously I said no! and I don't want drama between him and his friends and because J just got out of a relationship. Then he states a bunch of bullshit and says it won't change anything. He didn't really finish asking me out, I finished the question for him because he's too much of a coward.

The next day at the car meet J shows up with his ex, Stacy. At first I thought they were going as friends, but it was obvious they got back together. They were holding each others hands and hugging. I'm like WTF?

This is the girl, J kept complaining about and broke up with her because she CHEATED and lied to him. He caught her on camera too! I'm pissed cuz he tried to play me! What's worse is he tried to play it cool afterwards. Didn't apologize whatsoever! He knows he fucked up. I was with M at the car meet and I met Bao and Jessica. Bao had just bought a new STi and M went with him to New Hampshire the other day to buy it. J's now current gf seems like a snobby bitch. She didn't bother introducing herself and she looked me up and down with a disgusted look.

I learned the day of the car meet that Stacy's M's ex...awkward....apparently she cheated on M for J. What....the....fuck.......? That shit is so messed up! Especially since J's close friends with M! That just goes to show what kind of person J is.

He called and texted me a few times yesterday but I didn't answer. I completely ignored him but then when M, Bao, Jess, MC, and Cathy, we all went to D&B and ran into J. I was startled and felt creeped out. How the F did he know we were gonna be there? I ignored him but asked where his gf was. I thought he'd take the hint. After I completely ignored him, he texted me things like "talk to me when you feel like being an adult again." EXCUSE ME?!?! How about you GTFO my face and I never have to talk to you ever again? His text pissed me off even more! I'm just not talking to him till he apologized for what he did. He can't play it cool and make me feel guilty. It used to work but not anymore. He and his friends left around the same time as me and my new group of friends did. He waited in the car till we all got out and got into ours. What a creep! Stalker much? I didn't notice till M told me.

After D&B we went to go eat crawfish at a restaurant in Randolph. After we all had fun eating, on our way leaving, we saw J drive the opposite way. Apparently he was on his way to Stacy's house. He slowed down cuz he saw us. CREEEEEEEP!

I've been getting pretty close to M recently. It's scary to me because i'm afraid i'm gonna fall and get hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if I do because I fall so easily. It's hard because M and I talk everyday. He texts me good morning and good night every day. He's such a gentleman and he sweet talks but I know I need to be really careful. He's really sweet but thats how every guy is when they're in the chase. At least he respects me and says he just wants to get to know me more. The look on B and MC's face hints as if i'm already going out with him. I didn't ask him if he has feelings for me but he didn't deny what J said before. I'm not sure but I know we do have a bit in common.

He goes out of his way to talk to me. He was hungry but didn't eat or say he wasn't hungry. His stomach obviously didn't agree. Then he tried but he didn't say anything because he wanted to talk to me that night in the car at the beach. We talked until 2 AM and slept at 3 even though he had to wake up for work at 6AM! I'm afraid he'll get sick of me soon if I tell him too much. He'll get bored :(

Blackout!

2012-04-05T23:59:00.000-04:00

So I blocked out the world yesterday. I didn't answer any calls or texts at all. I felt a little bad because both M and J kept texting me and asking if I was ok. Apparently they were both worried. M even asked J if I was ok. I'm not sure what to do because things haven't really been resolved.

The benefits of yesterday was letting go of Mason. I just took off the necklace, deleted photos and videos off facebook. I was pretty close to deleting him on facebook even. It's funny how we used to be so close and all of a sudden we're strangers again. I'm glad i'm actually over it because he wasn't ever a good boyfriend.

My mind right now is just thinking about M and J. What MB said to me still kind of bothers me. I don't want to be the girl that gets in between their friendship....

I didn't realize being single was so complicated...=/

2012-04-04T23:58:00.000-04:00

As crazy as this sounds, I decided to block out the world for the day. I'm not answering anyone's calls or texts. I feel like I just need to focus on myself and give myself some space for a day. I feel really bad not replying back to MN and J. They both texted me last night and I didn't respond. Then they texted me good morning and I didn't reply either. Then J texted me asking me if I was ok and I don't know how to respond to that.

I'm not sure if I'm ok or not. I'm trying to be. I just feel a strong urge to give up on my ex. I can't wait for someone who doesn't care. I deserve better and i'm going to just forget about him. Although we had our happy times, he just wasn't mature enough to respect me or love me. I took off the necklace he gave and deleted the videos and pictures. Untagged everything on facebook. I'm not going to throw away the necklace like what I did with Wes's necklace but i'm just gonna put it aside.

I want closure and to feel loved but i'm not ready to be in a relationship for awhile. 3 Years is a long time but i'm going to take it one step at a time. I'm going to go month-by-month. I can't think about the long-term because it's been hard with M around. As bad as it sounds, i'm scared I might fall for him, and maybe not even for the right reasons.

It's hard because he's a nice and fun guy and cares and worries about me. It's going to be a hard few days ignoring everyones texts. I didn't think it'd be this hard. I brought my phone with me because I need it for Sephora. Tomorrow I'm not going to bring my phone. I'm not going to talk to anyone again till Friday. It's funny because his last name is Nguyen and there's a cute guy on youtube and he calls himself Boss Nguyen (Changman). Viet guys can be so charming LOL!

M asked me to go to the carnival on Saturday and the car meet too. He was even sweet enough to say he'd win me something from the games. I want to go, but a bit skeptical. I don't know yet. I'll see how things go on Friday. I'll see how he reacts to my blackout the next few days.

J seems to be worried, which makes me feel bad about ignoring his texts, but this is sort of for the best. MB texted me yesterday and he was upset because I didn't text him "good morning". -___-'' Then he said "MN and not MB." I feel like he's so dramatic! It's annoying! I'm not choosing anyone! He's making assumptions about me, but he doesn't know shit! Plus he has a girlfriend! I'm pretty sure I make a lot of people feel "uneasy." I have a strong personality and can be a bitch at times. I'm the girl who simply just doesn't want to date and sees past all the BS.

I wonder why J doesn't want me to call him artemis anymore. I guess it's a good thing since I shouldn't call anyone any nicknames, they might mistaken me. I'm so overthinking things -__-! I couldn't even focus at the gym yesterday! wtf! That hasn't happened to me since the break up. I'm kind of glad about the break up. It's made me stronger and open up my eyes more. I was being mistreated and giving way too much into a hopeless relationship. I'm also glad i'm finally, really letting go and completely over it!

Just really need to vent lately

2012-04-03T22:45:00.000-04:00

I don't know where to start...I'm so confused and lost right now. Let me start off with my ex. I have no idea but I can't get over him. There's still a lil part of me that hopes he'll come back, but at the same time I know it's wrong and that I should just move on and drop it. I have been wearing the necklace he gave me for so long after the break up and still have all our pictures. I watched our videos I posted on facebook and it brought back memories. I can't delete everything. I know he's not thinking the same and doesn't care. He didnt care.

Honestly, I feel so scarred. I don't think I could trust anyone ever again. I don't want to be in a relationship anymore because i'm scared. I'm not meant to be in a relationship but to help others with theirs. I'm trying so hard to be strong. I force myself to go working out at the gym everyday after classes so it gives me something to do and not think about shit. It was working for awhile up until lately. I just hope I get the job at Sephora soon or i'll go crazy.

I guess problems lately started off with J. We started hanging out ever since I ran into him at cvs that one time. Don't get me wrong, J is a nice guy and he kept me from being bored at home on the weekends. He introduced me to quite a few of his friends and they're pretty interesting. First was C. Now C made it pretty obvious he was hitting on me. I also made it obvious and clear I wasn't interested. I told EVERYONE I wanted to stay single. Every time C asked me to go somewhere to eat or chill, i'd say no or come up with an excuse. He gave up and ended up never talking to me again since. That's annoying, to not even be friends, but whatever. I don't care.

Next is, MB. Oh boy...he has no idea wth he wants from the way he talks and tells me things. I can tell he is very immature. He has a girlfriend and he tells another girl that he loves her. The he txts me saying he felt "uneasy" with me. I felt confused and asked J about it and he tells me MB was trying to be "cute" and hit on me. He pinched my cheeks and I wasn't happy about it but I accidentally hit him in the face(up the jaw) oops? lol

And then there's MN. I just met him recently and he's a chill dude. Surprisingly, we have a lot in common and similar taste in things. He's really into cars and he recently just got my number and started texting me a lot. J says he's into me too! (oh boy...) WTH is up with J and his friends all hittin on me? smh

J...back to J. I don't even know how to begin. He's comes off as a nice guy but when I see his face he has a hella sketchy look. Although he listens to my vents and is there for me, I feel like he's up to something. He hasn't stated he likes me or anything but I can feel it. We've talked under stars at night, and chill more often than before. It was cool at first until yesterday. I'm not sure if he likes me but I know I shouldn't get too close to him. Especially since 3 of his guy friends have hit on me and he just got out of a relationship. J's been trying to convince me to "give others a chance" I feel like he's talking about himself.

Last night I told my best friend all this and he wants to call off the bet we made. We made a bet of me not to date for 3 yrs and for each yr I would get $100 + dinner. He wants to call it off because he doesn't think i'd be able to do it and doesn't wanna feel responsible if I miss out on the "right guy". Yea...getting all this attention is flattering but guys like the chase. They always want what they can't have. I know this will all go away if I give in to any of them. No matter how much they sweet talk. It's not gonna work on me anymore. I'm so tired of being hurt. I can't let myself fall again. I don't know what to do with J and his friends. I know I'm going to get over my ex though. I can feel it easily slipping away...why stay so focused on someone who doesn't care?

Review - Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks

2012-03-18T22:57:00.000-04:00

Can I just say....LOVE!!?!?!?! Omg...If you ladies haven't tried the Revlon Colorburst lipsticks you're missing out. They are found at drugstores so easily accessible. You can find them cheaper at Walmart or Target but CVS,Walgreens and Rite Aid always has weekly sales. The retail price for these are about $9-11 each.

I love that these lipsticks are creamy and pigmented. They're not drying like many lipsticks and that's a major issue for me. I have really dry lips and I hate lipsticks that accent the fine lines on my lips. The best thing about these lipsticks are that they don't have any scent or taste to them. I despise the Loreal lipsticks solely for that reason.

The packaging of these lipsticks are convenient and classy. It's a black tube with a colored top so it's convenient to find the color you're looking for on your vanity. The best thing is that there isn't a nudge on one of the sides of the lipstick tube so you can easily cap it back on, unlike the loreal lipsticks.

The lasting power of these lipsticks is fairly neutral. It's pretty much like any other lipstick. It'll wear off if you eat or drink. I realized these can last up to 4 hours for me if I don't eat or drink and just from regular talking.

There are lots of colors to choose from but I only have four from this line. I might buy more in the future but as of now these are good enough for me. (Also, because I have more makeup than a normal person should have)

The colors I have (L to R) Soft Nude, Icy Nude, Peach, Baby Pink

As you can tell I use the soft nude quite a bit compared to the others. I would say Icy nude is my least favorite. It just doesn't work well with my skin tone and there are chunks of glitter in it that annoy me. I would not recommend picking that particular color up from this line of lipsticks. I'd prefer the soft nude over the icy nude lipstick.

I feel soft nude would work well with many skin tones and is well...a softer nude lipstick. I also l and love peach and baby pink. I didn't think I could pull off the baby pink lipstick but I think it looks great paired off with a nice lipgloss. Another great thing about these lipsticks are that you don't have to wear it with a lipgloss and it'll still look great.

Old Modeling pix!

I mentioned before that I was modeling for fun and here are pictures from a few weeks ago! Please let me know what you guys think! Btw the watermark is my photographers.

Long over-due reviews

2012-03-14T22:42:00.001-04:00

Ahhh!! This is a long over due review...I almost forgot about it until I found these pictures on my SD card. Anywhooo.... I bought these products awhile back and majority of it I've returned. You can find all of these at your local drugstore :)

First off, The Loreal Magic Smooth souffle blush! If you've tried their foundation version of this the texture is exactly the same. I liked the blush but it wasn't something that the price could justify. It wasn't anything spectacular. The color just didn't wow me and I feel there are better blushes for the price of this one at the drugstores.

If you've followed me for awhile or watch my youtube videos, you'll know I dislike loreal lip products because of the scent. It smells like plastic or play doh. I was really disappointed with the Loreal Color Riche lip balms. They're not pigmented at all, and not moisturizing enough to pay $8 for, AND I hate the packaging. There's a little dip on the bottom that forces you to close the cap at that exact spot, which can be inconvenient if i'm applying on the go, in a rush.

This is the Loreal Magic Smooth Souffle foundation. I use 522 natural beige. The texture is nice for my skin. I have normal skin type and I mainly use it for discoloration on my face. This foundation is a cream to powder texture. I don't recommend it for oily skin however. The good thing about this is I don't have to set this foundation with a powder. This may or may not be right for you because it is light to medium coverage.

Ahh...the hyped up Loreal magic perfecting base! I've used this for a few weeks now and I don't necessarily notice a huge difference on my face. I use it under the magic smooth souffle foundation. I will try to use it under a liquid foundation and see if I like it then. So far, I don't really care too much for it.

Bad weather, bad morning...

2012-03-13T10:13:00.001-04:00

I looked at the weather and it said it was going to be 66 degrees and warm and sunny...looked out the window...gray,gloomy and rainy. *sigh* So much for beautiful weather this morning...

Grandma decides to annoy me even more this morning by bringing up the past. She kept bringing up Mason and as she went on and on...I wanted to just tell her to stfu. I didn't. Instead I stormed out the house and decided to wait in the cold for 30 minutes for the bus rather than listening to her opening up my old wounds. I'm just slowly starting to heal and she's definitely not helping. Instead she blames everything on me and puts me at fault.

Oh gosh as if it wasn't bad enough already, I ended up losing my public transportation pass...oh no! It slipped out of my pocket while I was in class. I didn't realize until I was about to leave school. I searched the building high and low and couldn't find it. It was a monthly pass (worth $60).

My friend had then tried to cheer me up and we got some lunch and walked around town for awhile. Did a bit of catching up. Even though my friend had just broken up with his girlfriend, he didn't seem to upset about it.

I went to the gym afterwards to do my regular Tuesday definitions class. After that, my friend from earlier invited me to play basketball with a few others. I was exhausted after working out and playing basketball for almost 2 hours. It was fun at the end because a bunch of little kids challenged us to a full court game, and called my friend Jeremy Lin! LOL

Returned

2012-03-11T23:30:00.000-04:00

I went out with a girl friend today and we went to a tattoo/piercing place because I convinced her to get her navel piercing done professionally. (She had planned to do it herself). It looks really really cute.

Then we went to forever21 and walked around. I bought lots of cute stuff today which reminds me, I returned a lot of stuff last time but before I returned them I took pictures. The following items are things I returned because it just wasn't right for me.

I didn't like the material

It looked cuter on the website

I like this but wish it was a larger size

Doesn't include the belt, and didn't look good with my body type

I like the color but the material bothered me

I'm keeping these shorts though

I'm also keeping this high wasted pencil skirt

belt is included

Drink up!

I was really bored today and had no idea what to do so I decided to hang out with an old friend of mine. We hang out often and since he didn't have work today till 9 PM we hung out. We walked around a lot of places and there were so many things we wanted to buy but he's saving up for the new iPad and i'm saving up for a surprise :)

We wanted dessert and went to this restaurant that i'm not gonna say where. I had never been there before but when I walked in I could smell the chocolately goodness.

We started off with some waffle fries...they were good.

I ordered a Hazelnut banana cream crepe and my friend ordered the white chocolate cheesecake crepe. Interestingly enough, the waitress switched up the order when she placed it in front of us and we didn't realize till half way through. haha

No, I'm not 21 yet...but my friend had the hook up so we both ordered drinks! This was my first time ordering drinks out and it was nice. I ordered a guava Margarita with salted rim :) My friend ordered a Caribbean Escape mixed drink that was really good.

My ootd...I got a lot of compliments on my new Steve Madden heels :)

Overall a fun day. The interesting thing about life is that whats meant to be will happen. I remember begging god when I was really really young that I hope this person will always be a part of my life...it's been 10 years and we're still really good friends. I'm really glad I have such a close friend who understands me and gives me his honest opinion.

Random pix and new products!

2012-03-09T14:38:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to share some pix with you guys. I went to eat Panera yesterday with a friend. I haven't been there in a really long time. My friend recommended the asian seseme chicken salad and green iced tea. We split everything and it was really good and refreshing.

I also wanted to show you my nails. I decided to try out the new Revlon colorstay nail polish. It's in the color Sorbet. I thought this would be a fun color for the spring. It is really thin and liquid-y but the color is opaque.

I also wanted to show you guys my new lipstick. I've been loving this color. It's the Revlon colorburst lipstick in Baby Pink. I don't have any color like it and decided to try it because of the sale at CVS.

I have the Revlon colorburst lipstick in baby pink on with Revlon superlustrous lipgloss in Pink Pop

Leave me alone!!!

2012-03-08T20:20:00.000-05:00

Last night, I got a text from my ex...and it was random and unwanted. Let me just tell you guys, this ex of mine is a cocky, conceited, ungrateful, manipulative, son of a bxtch! (No really, his mom's a total bxtch). I was annoyed but he asked how I was and I said well, and being well mannered, I asked him how he was. (big mistake) He brags about his life and his trip and sh*t in 10 days. I don't give a f*ck!!!! God damn...then he asks me how's school and where I was going...TMI! I didn't respond...

As if that wasn't enough, he texts me AGAIN today...wouldn't leave me alone. I bluntly and coldheartedly said I don't wanna be friends again and I hope he understands and to never text me again. I was already trying not to be a complete bxtch...he didn't reply in a few hours so I thought it had gone through to him...but nope..he texts me asking why?! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ASK WHY!? I JUST DONT WANT TO! He was never a good boyfriend and i've watched the way he treats his friends and he's an overall bad person. I don't need people like him in my life. God...I didn't respond to his question and I'm just hoping he never texts me again and just LEAVE ME ALONE!

You don't see me going and bothering my ex! God damn! Just accept the fact that the person broke up with you and move on with your life. If they want to be in your life again they'll find their way...if it's meant to be then it will happen. After just being broken up with not too long ago, I don't need to hear men and their bullsh*t. I don't fall for that sh*t anymore. I can honestly say that I never loved this guy. He was my ex from my first year in college and reminds me of one of my biggest mistakes. I don't need him in my life as a reminder. I f*ckin hate him and his drama...-___-''

Thank god for a good workout today...definitely feel those abs kickin in :)

Review - NYC LipStain

2012-03-08T20:11:00.000-05:00

I was curious and decided to pick up the NYC lipstain because CVS was having a sale. I bought it for $4.99. I hate it. It's blotchy and drying. It doesn't even last 16 hours and it's definitely not "smooch proof". After one meal, the color was gone. Although it is cheaper than other drugstore lipstains. I'd save your money and buy another.

Professional Monday...

2012-03-08T20:06:00.000-05:00

So not much really happened today...Just went to a job interview as a receptionist somewhere...Here's my ootd.

Sorry the lighting is so bad

Blazer(Zara),Shirt(Express)Skirt(Forever21)

Relaxing Sunday

2012-03-04T22:28:00.000-05:00

Well, Sunday's my day to rest. No gym today. Honestly, it's because I find that it closes too early. Everything closes so early on Sundays :(

Didn't accomplish much today. Was actually a pretty boring day. I had a long conversation with my uncle about dogs. Apparently my Aunt's dog in China is ill and he needed some medical advice so I did my best to help him with what I knew. It made me think about and miss Yoki and Money...my two old dogs. On March 14th it'll be 3 years since Yoki passed away. *sigh*

I went out with a friend to the mall. I needed to return some things that I bought online. Ended up getting store credit and using it right after (HA!). I bought some cute stuff (or what I think is cute). My friend doesn't agree -___-'' and I know he's gonna read this...lol I STILL THINK IT'S AWESOME! AND POLKA DOTS ARE CUTE! hahaha

My family wasn't home all day...I ended up cooking dinner for myself. Didn't know what to make so made a bunch of random crap :p blehh another day of school tmrw.

Shopping, Gym, Froyo

2012-03-03T23:19:00.000-05:00

The first thing when I woke up, I saw a Forever 21 package! Eeeek! So exciting. I opened it and tried everything on and even took pictures to post here for later on but I was pretty disappointed. More than half the stuff didn't look good on me so I'm planning to return it. I guess that's what I get for ordering online.

I went to Marshalls again today (I'm addicted) and I saw these shoes by Steve Madden. They were $39.99 and I even took pictures for you guys to see.

I thought they're really pretty but I didn't end up buying them. I think the glitter and the peep toe made me not get them. What do you guys think?

I bought some slim anti-slip hangers and a cute blazer. I think I've found my next favorite brand for blazers! (I'll post pix soon). I tried to find cute tops but was out of luck so I decided to go to the gym. I didn't have any workout classes today, so I just did 30 minutes on the elliptical and worked on my abs for a bit.

After the gym, I went to go get some froyo with two of my friends. It was fun and had nice chat with them. We had interesting convos about working out and relationships. (haha my cynical view on relationships...oh boy!) That was pretty much it for tonight, not too much going on for a Saturday.

Fridays = Zumba + MOTD

2012-03-02T19:47:00.000-05:00

So I woke up today and filmed two videos, one was a tutorial and the other was a February favorites. Then I took these pictures for you guys here on my blog :) I will edit and post the tutorial up soon!!! I tried using a bright color but soften it up with a matte brown.

Products I used:

Canmake eyeshadow primer

Coastal scents 88 eyeshadow palette

NYX single e/s in Chocolate

MAC pigment in Rose

Revlon matte e/s in Vintage Lace

Dollywink eyeliner

NYC City Curls Mascara

Maybelline One by One Mascara

Anyway, after the filming and getting ready I decided to head out and do some shopping. I was on the hunt to look for some bright colors for the spring colorblocking trend. I also was hoping to score some cute accessories. I did buy some items from Marshalls and TJ Maxx. I didn't have enough time to look at H&M because I needed to head back home to get my stuff to get ready to go to the gym at 5. I will post pictures / do a haul video fairly soon, as well as outfit of the day posts! (I'm so excited!)

I went to my 5 pm Zumba class and it was so much fun. I went to it last week and loved this instructor who teaches on this particular day and time. I also forgot to mention I got a call for another job as a receptionist and I have an interview set up for Monday. Hopefully I get it because I'm gonna need the money to keep up with my shopping! LOL
