012. AVATAR!!!


so me and the bear went to see Avatar yesterday. by 'went to see', i mean, i paid for a ticket (extra $3 for 3D), ran into the bathroom and put the ticket into my wallet, walked to the exit where the boyfriend was waiting, gave him my debit card with my ticket, and then went into the auditorium. ;)

i thought Avatar
was amazing. as many have said, the storyline wasn't as engaging a
s one expected. well, in my case, i wasn't expecting much since i already heard from people that there wasn't much to be expected LOL. of course, visually, it was stunning. 3D was pretty cool, but that's basically it: it's in 3D. it wasn't exceptionally spectacular, but it was fun to watch.

Oh, and before I forget:












HAPPY 3 YEARS & 11 MONTHS, DA!
I LOVE YOU

last night, i noticed that Michelle Phan put up her Avatar makeup look! :O damn, i missed it! i really wanted to be ultra-nerdy and wear that look out when i see the movie. but alas, i forgot to check if she posted it. oh well. i was tired of cleaning up this morning, so i decided to do my own look. :)

check out Michelle Phan/RiceBunny's video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BcAxgcuTRY

and here's my take on it. inspiration from the movie and Michelle
's video!

















the colors aren't very vibrant though... all the colors were from my Coastal Scents shimmering 88 palette. oh well, it was just for fun anyways. :)

i also took some pictures of Kitty-Kitty, since he kept following me around and trying to get my attention when i was trying to take pictures, haha.













































silly kitty, got his butt all wet in that puddle of water behind him!



































heeheehee!












current music: UKISS [Man Man Ha Ni]
can ANYONE tell me who the guy in the MV with the blue-ish hair is??? he kinda looks like Key from SHINee...
btw i am in love with this dance! i want to learn it so badly!! :D

and now the cam-whoring haha. also, i woke up with my hair all crazy, and flat-ironed the bottom. i clipped up my bangs to the side, and realized i kinda liked it haha! it reminded me of Rachel McAdam (I ♥ her!)'s character in the movie, Irene Adler. so i guess the whole look is inspired by both movies. btw we snuck into Sherlock Holme's after Avatar ended. :D it was a good movie, until the end. i was expecting something like, The Great Mouse Detective, but....... no comment.
anyways. that's all for today, me thinks. back to nail art! :D

011. more decoden & nails

i was bored and inspired today, so i made another small decoden jar. i'm running out of pieces though, so it's not as cute as the other ones i made.

i also could not locate a pair of clippers, so i
just left the extra chain. i think
it looks kinda neat like that any
ways. :)
there are also some rhinestones fro
m the little packs that i bought.

these are 3 of the 4 packs i bought! not bad at all for only $1.50 eac
h, right??








i opened 2 of the packs, so i hid one and the other is not pictured, haha.








these are also the chocolate molds and chain that i mentioned in one of my previous entries. aren't they cute??











===============♥
here are some pictures of my nails from the past 2 weeks as well!

i did these last night. i think the glitter polish is getting old though, because it took FOREVER to dry! i spent about 2-3 hours on this, plus another 3 hours to fully dry... and then i removed it today, wow!














you can't even tell in this picture, but they were pink tips with white polka dots. i used my "Strawberry Fields" China Glaze polish for this.
i also had black tips with pink polka dots and purple tips i think? i don't even remember, i changed them so much!!






i also cut my hair again! mostly just taking more layers off and cutting of as much split ends as possible. i also cut my top-most layers super short on accident, but i like it that way.
i also don't understand why my hair looks black in these pictures! funny thing, i even put some of my Kanebo KIARA Change Color in my hair (brown) just because, and somehow my hair comes out black... XD





heehee! i also felt the need to include a picture of my adorable Da-gom! ♥♥♥









and in closing, a picture of us in Sonora being silly~
i hope we can go to the cabin again soon! it was fun spending New Year's there with him ♥







currently watching: Rock of Love Bus
SERIOUSLY. i need to stop watching this. i'm a reality show junkie, but it's a bit excessive with ROL... i've probably watched just one episode like, 20 times just last night! XD

010. school and rhinestones

well, monday was my first day of school. and guess what? i was uberly LATE for my first class, physical anthropology. noo! the class looked extremely full too, so i just skipped out. i actually ended up ditching all my classes, since i had a 3 hour gap until my next class and was bored out of my mind. we ended up going to whole food market and buying some yellow curry sauce, mmmm! i have yet to make it though :)

i also sent in more job applications (again!). i don't even remember who i sent them to, since i've sent in applications to at least 10 different places. multiple times, ugh. i also applied at CVS for two different positions, and so i wait here patiently awaiting a phone call. i also need to send in my application for TRENDY's, ASAP! it's that adorable little shop inside Mitsuwa that sells manga, gundam models, and a shit ton of hello kitty stuff. it would be nice to work there, since it's only part-time and i can blow my paychecks on food and magazines, yay! lol jk...? ;)

i also made a trip to Daiso, and randomly picked out a cute handkerchief and another storage unit, then threw them down as soon as i saw that they now sell phone deco!!! :O
i bought 3 packs of rhinestones and pearls for $1.50 each, which is a great deal! i've been looking everywhere for cheap rhinestones for deco, but they're always expensive and only come in round. i found some cute pink hearts in the bunch i bought, yay! pictures later~ i left the camera at my boyfriend's house again. :P

i just felt like writing something. not really interesting, but i need to keep writing. i'm planning on switching over to mission from de anza. de anza is WAYY too crowded and my only option for transportation is the BUS. actually TWO BUSES. i don't like buses, and they don't like me. no wait, i don't like buses BECAUSE they don't like me. :3
- on my way to the mall, which is literally about 5-10 minutes away, i got on the wrong bus and ended up in like, los gatos or something. it was clearly over an hour away. dumbass.
- from san fransisco, (after walking around for 4 hours just trying to find the caltrain and ending up in DALY CITY), i got on the wrong bus AGAIN, and ended up... somewhere, i don't even know. we got out from the concert in SF at 12am, waited for Diru until 2am, took a cab to the caltrain at 6am, ended up in daly city at around 7 or 8am, finally made it to santa clara at around... ohh, 10am? and then the bus incident happened. :) we got back at around 4pm. i don't even know what the hell happened. ohh, the good 'ol days, huh?

okay, i'm going to do my nails again. the paint is starting to chip off, and i hate walking around with my nail polish looking like that! :O

current music: Whee Sung [OVER U]
omg, VOCALATE is amazing! my boyfriend plays "chu ru ruk'" (trickling) over and over~ i think my favorite is "OVER U", next to that. i just love the way he sings "I'm so~ over you.." omg Whee Sung, you melt my heart!

listen to the song here! <3

009. decoden

i hope everyone had a nice and warm Christmas! <3



i have discovered... decoden.

actually, i've been aware of it for a long time, but never really attempted it until 2 nights ago i
think. i always tried doing 3d nail art, but it doesn't work too well with me, hehe.
here were the results:


i made 4 so far :) i want to make many more!




this is the first one i made. i really like the result. at first, i was kinda worried it wouldn't turn out very well. you just gotta do it and not give it a second thought; don't even think about what your doing!! i "glazed" them with nail polish top coat, lol.
i have "homemade lipgloss" in here: basically, petroleum jelly and an assortment of pink/orange eye shadows mixed together. :P


here's number two! i thought it came out pretty cute, but i definitely like my first one the best. i applied a sort of clear-light & glittery blue nail polish on the bottom, then put shiny p
urple hearts and stars cut-outs (i don't know what else they're called!) i like the more simplicity of this piece compared to the others that have a lot going on.
this one also contains lip gloss~


this was the most challenging one to make... i just didn't really like the pink nail polish i p
ut on, and it kinda threw me off. the end result isn't bad, but i have to admit that making this one was kind of a pain. 'nuff said.
XD
this one contains the yellow stars that you can see in the next one.


and finally! this. that giant blob is supposed to be like ice cream, if you can't tell lol. i made it from this molding, er, substance, called Crayola Model Magic. i think it looks cuter in person, but had it been made out of cla
y it would look even better. work with what you got. ;p i really do like the way it turned out though, and it was a lot of fun to make!
right now, i have my chains inside this one. maybe when i run out, i'll make more lip gloss (thank you Michelle Phan, hah!)

i have also been doing my nails a lot lately. i never did my nails much, because i am horrible with polish. i was pretty surprised with the result of painting my tips. i always imagined it to be super hard, but it's really simple... or maybe it's a hidden talent?? nah.





i had these until yesterday. now i painted the tips gold with purple dots lining underneath, but i stupidly left my boyfriend's camera on all night (again), and the charger is at his house. boo.

this was before:


unfortunately, the glitter and polish just did not want to participate with me that night. i had to use so many coats, and it just refused to dry. i was also a klutz that night, and kept ramming my fingers into absolutely everything, and messing it up further. i finally jumped in the shower, and let it just melt off. yeah, it was that bad.


i then decided to paint the ends black, but it wasn't enough for me, so i finally reached for my dotting tool. i was surprised that it worked to be honest. i'm so confident. O;)

tonight le boyfriend drove me to JoAnn's and Daiso. i was hoping to find some clay at JoAnn's, but no luck. i found the Crayola Model Magic there though; an entire section for Crayola, but no clay. HAH. they did have some super cute pastry and candy molds though! and they were only $2! i might pick those up after i find my clay!!
at Daiso, i bought two chocolate molds, a clear plastic case for my jewelry, and some more chain in pink! unfortunately as mentioned, my camera died, so no pictures! :'(((( they're really cute too... *sigh* next post!!!

i am also going to ditch Wells Fargo as soon as possible. i really can't stand their system... such scum bags! this year, they got the honorable role of THE GRINCH. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY MONEY! >:(

my sister also gave me a cute purple dress that she didn't want from Heritage 19...something. lol. i think this is my first dress since i was probably seven years old... i must lose weight!!! :P pictures next time as well ^^

well, right now i keep watching this over and over. Ga In's performance was kinda weak... i was pretty disappointed, but she looked hot, so i forgive her. XD i think Minzy took it, hands down. that girl just knows how to dance and absolutely KILLED IT! :D

current music: 4MINUTE [MUZIK]
i honestly did not like this [at all] the first time, because i felt like the video was ripping off of 2NE1... but now i can't get enough! BOOM BOOM! ;D

008. sigh

Noo~!

ELF is having FREE SHIPPING going on right now, until I have no idea when.... and I can't find my wallet. BOO. I've been waiting for one of these deals for so long because I never catch them in time & I only want like 3 things, which isn't worth the $7 shipping.
I only have my credit card on file... ohh how I wish ELF used PayPal. :/

I could sure go for one of those fruity drinks from Taco Bell right now... but, OH YEAH, no wallet-- NO MONEY. BOOOOO.

007. Strawberry Fields [Forever?]

We finally got our Christmas tree and put up decorations and lights outside! It finally feels like Christmas. :)

I just finished my nails. I never wear nail polish, because I'm horrible at applying it. I love nail art though... which is why I always destroy my natural nails by wearing fakes. :P
I finally got my first bottle of China Glaze when I went to Sally's with my mom and my little sister. I saw the color first, and thought it was super pretty. I looked at the name, and that's what sold me. It's called "Strawberry Fields", which reminded me of the Beatles song, and I wanted to show my boyfriend. XD


China Glaze, "Strawberry Fields". Gorgeous color! <3

Sadly, I'm having the hardest time typing because I'm paranoid about bumping my nails (again) and ruining the polish. I'm really good at that.


So this is the result. I also added some purple glitter on the ends (stole it from my little sister since she hasn't touched it haha). I got the inspiration from this video:


I love the result, but I don't have nearly enough glitter, so I was being really sparing. I also had a little trouble applying it sometimes, but overall I think it's cute. More practice! It just feels funny whenever I wear nail polish, like I'm really aware of it. I wonder if that's normal, or I'll just get over it after wearing more. It's just weird, because I don't know what to do with my hands LOL!

I'm hungry, and it's 1am. This is not good. But so delicious. ;)

006.

...In the words of Bender...

"Oh. Your. God."





thank you. :)
Anyways. I'm back, yay.

What's been going on... I worked at House of Humor during Halloween week. That was... interesting. My sister works there and told me they needed extra help for Halloween, and I'd get paid $10/hr, so of course I jumped at it. Also, of course, I was sick of working there after about the 4th day, haha. Oh well, I somewhat sucked it up and got paid and was happy. :)

...Now if only Wells Fargo would stop sucking and update my transactions, grr! I paid off a majority of my credit cards about 3 days ago, and it's still not showing up on my statement... wtf? I'm just worried that my credit card payments aren't purposely being put on hold so they can overcharge me or something, ugh.

Woo~ I've been obsessed over Brown Eyed Girls' latest video "Abracadabra"! I can't stop listening to it, dancing to it, and of course, watching sexy Ga In-- okayy, I won't go there this time! ;)
I've found another video that I'm pretty addicted to lately:
"HOT ISSUE" by 4minute!



I dunno, this song just really grew on me. I first heard MUZIK, and I really dislike it. It felt too much like a knockoff of 2NE1's "Fire" MV, except the song just wasn't nearly as catchy.

In other news. I finally treated myself to some spends, yay! First thing I bought was this super cute ring!


I loove it! I happened to find it in this store called Styles For Less in the Mariposa Plaza for only $5. I love rings, but for some reason, I have a time finding any cute rings. Actually, with that said, I also found this one on ebay:


It was only $4 on ebay, shipping included. I can't wait to get it! ☆彡


I finally got myself this foundation! CVS happened to be having an amazing sale on Revlon cosmetics, so I bought this for only $8.99! *does happy dance*


Also ordered some brushes from Coastal Scents. I forgot how cheap shipping is, since it's based solely on weight, so got these at a pretty reasonable price. I already had the middle brush, so this time I bought a foundation and liner (is that what it's called? well, i'm gonna call it that anyway) brush. I've only tried the foundation brush, but I LOVE it! I wish I bought it a long time ago... sponges suck now, haha.

After work, I dropped by Walgreens and bought these. They were having a sale on Rimmel products, yay! I loove this mascara, and even better was that it came with a free eyeliner pencil, which is really great. Nexttttt... a lot of their Physician's Formula products were on clearance, so I grabbed this concealer for about... $3 I think? It works so well! I have horrible eyebags and under-eye circles, and it covers them really great. (*^o^*)
I also grabbed this Nivea Creme, which I use as a moisturizer for only $.99. I can't complain for the price, and don't really feel a need to anyways. ;)

Oookay... my boyfriend is watching Die, You Zombie Bastards! ...

....

...This is the weirdest freaking movie I've seen... in a while. I just watched Teenagers From Outer Space a few nights ago. I suddenly don't think it was such a retarded movie after all. Er, well, at least it was a good laugh, but Zombie Bastards is just horrendously ridiculous.

Oh, I almost forgot~ I also ordered a new pair of boots from Urban Original and some leggings off ebay. I can't wait to get them! I've been in desperate need of new shoes, since most of the time I've been walking around in my sister's flip flops... which are about 2 sizes bigger than what I wear! ...Not to mention it's Winter outside :P

I guess I'll sit here and try to get through this movie, then look around for a midnight snack :D
