This topic was inspired by  Jem’s post about different browsers, so I thought, hey, why not give my 2 cents, because you all know how much I love blasting my opinions on this blog

• Safari

  This is the default browser that came with my Macbook Pro, and it’s a shitload better than the default browser that comes with Windows. It’s a nice browser with decent speed, and now it supports extensions (which are like Firefox’ add-ons), so brownie points there. But are there better browsers out there? Yes.

• Firefox

  I’ve been using this since…I don’t even remember when. But I remember being awed at the fact that I could tab the windows instead of getting separate windows. It’s also got loads of add-ons and skins, which is great for people who like a customized browser. Unfortunately, all these features mean that when you have 10 tabs open with 20 add-ons running, it’s going to laaaaaaaaag. Which is why I switched to..

• Google Chrome

  I remember¹ the hype when Google released their own browser, and for a good reason. The browser was lightening fast, and how it supports extensions and themes as well. So of course, I jumped  ship, and was loving it, until Chrome started having problems loading certain sites, all the time.

• Opera

  I downloaded it out of curiosity a while back, and I hated it. It wasn’t as fast as people claimed, and it loaded my pages weird, so I uninstalled it right away. After reading Jem’s entry, I gave Opera another try, and now I’m loving it. It’s super fast, even when I have a bunch of tabs open. The only complaint is that its widgets run as standalone programs, which is pretty stupid. Oh well :/

• IE

  This is only here so I can complain about what a shitty browser this is. Using it is like trying to surf the web with an eggplant – what the fuck are you thinking²?

All in all, Opera is my favorite browser. What’s yours?

• 3-months of advertising on my blog
• a Victoria’s secret beauty rush lip gloss
• a custom character like lambie or kitty

Yeah, I know, the prizes aren’t really that fabulous, but the thing is, everyone can be a winner. No, seriously, all you have to do is the following:

• Be a user tester for the site I’ve been working on¹ for my summer internship.

Seriously, isn’t that easy? Well, there are a couple more things you need to do (which I’ll disclose in the welcome email), but if you’re interested, just leave a comment saying so, and I’ll send you a email with further instructions. Once I see that you’ve completed the requirements, I’ll send out the prize of your choice. Whether you’re doing this because of the prizes or because you just love me like that, I’d really appreciate it either way

It used to be pretty empty until I bought my Lily Pullitzer agenda, but since then, it’s now a decent weight, and can double as a defense weapon if needed.

Everything in my purse is pretty standard for a girl, nothing special, except for my lucky pink hippo. Actually, I’m not even sure if it’s lucky, but I’d like to think that it is. And yes, as much as I love makeup, I don’t carry around a makeup bag. I can’t see myself re-applying anything except lip gloss when I’m out anyways.

So what are in your purses? I’d love to see some pictures!

Now for the reflection part. I must say, this summer has got to be one of my most productive ones since…God knows when:

• I had (and still have) an internship, which I enjoyed 90% of the time¹.
• I’ve had my share of fun, with 2 visits to the beach and 1 visit to NYC
• I got into dramas again! Finished watching Schemes of a Beauty [Mei Ren Xin Ji]², Return of the Condor Heroes [Shen Diao Xia Lu]³, and now I’m watching Legend of the Condor Heroes [She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan]⁴.
• Started selling stuff on Ebay, because I have a shitload of useless junk at home. Woohoo for extra $$$!
• I totally cleaned my room and organized my makeup and jewelry. Will do a video room tour soon
• And somewhere in between all these activities, throw in karaoke, Korean BBQ, clubbing, and lots of shopping.

I’m sad that summer break is coming to an end, because this will be the last summer break I’ll probably have, because I’m graduating next May! Senior year, here I come!

Not that I didn’t have fun during those 6 days, since she is the few girl friends I have that actually enjoys going out and doing scandalous activities¹. However, this girl has NO common sense when it comes to the words flying out of her mouth. She would say the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate times and still think she’s being funny. The worst part of it all is that she’s saying this shit about me IN FRONT OF all my other friends and my boyfriend. Like, wtf?

For example, she was complaining that she had no ride to the airport while in the car with me, my boyfriend, my other friend + her date:

her: Ugh, what the f***, I don’t know if Joanna (another friend) can take me to the airport or not! Dammit Jenny, why can’t you fucking drive on the highway?? Goshh!! The airport isn’t that far anyways!
my boyfriend: (to me) Wait, you don’t drive on the highway???
her: Hahaha, yeah, she doesn’t, can you believe it? God Jenny, it’s not that hard!

I wanted to bitch slap her and tell her to shut the f*** up so bad, I just stayed silent for the rest of the conversation. My boyfriend tried to console me telling me it was ok, but Rachel obviously doesn’t get it, as she goes on with her lack of thinking before she speaks:

my friend’s date: (to me) So what’s your major?
me: International business and marketing.
her: Marketing?? What the fuck can you do with that??

Like, OH MY GOD. Way to make me feel secure about my future, as if the shitty economy isn’t doing a great enough job at that already! Seriously, I love this girl 95% of the time, but when she opens her mouth, it’s like hell unleashed. Thank God she’s away for 3 weeks now. I seriously might murder her if I had to put up with her any longer.
