TWILIGHT'S ECLIPSE

2010-04-23T12:23:00.000-07:00

I am a huge huge fan of the Twilight series, & I refuse to call it saga because that just sounds silly. Today the 2nd trailer for Eclipse was released and I'm beyond elated.

I have no worries about this movie living up to its expectation. The director David Slade's been known to be a tough critic and wanted the movie this time around to be more realistic than its previous counterparts. From the trailer alone looks as if Kristen Stewart's portrayal of Bella has improved. There's the action scene that I can't wait to see, it looks bad ass! The newborns look ferocious even more so than they were described in the book. I personally think that they calmed with Edward Cullen's look because he is not as "dreamy" as he was in New Moon and Twilight, but I have to say I'm liking his realistic Edward Cullen look.

HAPPY EARTH DAY

2010-04-22T14:45:00.000-07:00

Let's pay respect to our mother Earth. Without her, no matter what you believe in, whatever your beliefs may be, regardless of all the hate, despite all the hostility, we would have no place to call a home. A home. Looking at these shots taken from Nasa, it surprises me how insignificant us being truly are in comparison to a much larger picture. We all sit back, do our daily routines, whatever it may be, even digress from our lives and presume that we are the center of the world. But in fact we are just a part of a much grander scale of things. We see it everyday when we look at the sky or when we breathe oxygen. From a scientific point of view; it is an amazing prospect what we've all turned out to be. From a religious one; it is nothing short of a miracle what Gods true wonders can really entail.

This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon. It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission. (March 8, 2004)

The image is a mosaic of images taken by the rover's navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover's panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see.The inset shows a combination of four panoramic camera images zoomed in on Earth. The arrow points to Earth. Earth was too faint to be detected in images taken with the panoramic camera's color filters.

A magnificent shot taken from Mars. For me, it's quite mind boggling.

This was one of those "second-glance" moments, because I didn't know what it was. I honestly thought it was a macro shot of a mushroom.

Let's pay our respects to her! Try to cut down on using electricity as much as possible today. Let's take care of her and in turn, she will take care of us for a long long time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a much more important note, today is a my brother's 14th birthday! He lives in the Philippines with my Aunt and Uncle who are absolutely the best for taking care of him. It's a broken feeling when my family are here in America together. As happy as we are, it's not a complete and utter joy. There's that missing factor always nudging me in the back of the head, telling me that I shouldn't be joyous because my brother is not here. There are a lot of people who are asking "why isn't he here" & it's a sensitive subject because it's not that easy. My brother has a condition called Cerebral Palsy. When he was an infant, he got sick, was jaundice, and too much blood rushed in his brain -- or something like that. Apparently, I understand now that it could have been avoided so long as the doctor ordered for blood work, but he didn't. Whether it was laziness or assumptions that had him believe that nothing was truly wrong with my brother when in fact there was, it's too late now. This was in the Philippines and as a young child, I remember my brother being rushed to the hospital 4 months after he was born. I also remember my dad, who was my brothers blood type match, coming home very weak because they took so much blood from him in order to save my brother. They are hazy thoughts, and me, at such a young age, did not understand what was happening at the time, fully realize it now that I am older. When my brother was 2 or 3, I didn't understand why he could not walk yet. And why he couldn't hold his head up himself, or why his movements were odd. When he was 5 or 6, his condition remained. I never really asked my parents, not because I didn't care, but because I was probably afraid. I just knew he was sick... I didn't know the extent of his sickness. Circumstances now are that my family moved here to get a better a life and unfortunately my brother couldn't come along. My parents will go back in a couple of more years to live there, and I in the future, will visit the Philippines as much as I can to see him.

I am glad to say that he is better now. He has his own physician, a good one, at that. My moms cousin and her husband and their two daughters take care of him like he was their own son. I couldn't ask for more better people. We visited him 2 years ago, and we will again this June and I can't wait! We webcam chat with them once a week or as much as we can. He looks very happy, and he remembers us as his family and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Happy Birthday little brother.

the tighter the rope

Beautiful moments.

Its trickling despair.

Its brilliant image.

Its satisfaction for hope.

All the more; the tighter the rope

It binds us, and never lets go.

Touring Frisco

2010-04-13T00:47:00.000-07:00

San Francisco was just all around beautiful. It was overcast. It sprinkled a bit. But the sun ended up shining in the end.

On the way there. A picture of the Bay Bridge.

San Francisco State College. My cousin who's nearing graduation is very interested. If he ends up deciding that this college is for him, I'll have two cousins that attend college in the bay! Whoo!

Us getting lost in China Town while looking for Japantown. I had this idea that the two were near each other, but in fact, they weren't. lolol

Street Perfomers. They had an amazing voice.

We ended up taking this taxi back to my car. I couldn't stand to walk back.

When we finally found it, we were so relieved. I couldn't stand to be in a car with two hungry guys who were continuously complaining. There was a pretty cool festival going on. The band was lip syncing to their own music. Banging drums were heard in the distance. I wonder if Japan is really like this?

Yummy food, but what I wanted was some authentic ramen. =\ The line was crazy long and I didn't want to wait.

We also visited the Golden Gate bridge. I can't believe how far the distance is from bridge to floor, or ocean rather. To think that people had actually commit suicide there! While we walked, I stood there and imagined what kind of mindset would those suicide-es have. How depress and out-of-way can one be to fully ignore the magnitude of, or even the mere thought of, that fall. I'm not afraid of heights, but I after looking down, I felt too felt dizzy.

To end the day we visited Fisherman's Warf. There were some street performers. A man for example hiding behind a make-shift bush, waiting to ambush any by-passers. It was super funny to watch him frighten the shit out them xD. There was also these two college students who spray paint for a living, I suppose. Very talented young men!

That was my adventure. I can't wait to go back! The city is so much more fun than boring stockton. Anyway, <3.>

Beautiful weather

2010-04-08T21:03:00.000-07:00

My brother, boyfriend, and I basking in the sun. Beautiful day.

I'm super enjoying photography. It's like this way of relief and it just relaxes me completely. I also just recently learned about hdr photos. You basically take 3 of the same photo's with 3 different exposure settings and overlap them on top of one another to get this spectacular image. Here is an example:

Need I say more? The colors just pop. It's an amazing thing.

Feeling Quite Blue

2010-04-07T14:59:00.000-07:00

The weather has been to die for these past couple of days and finally I'm beginning to feel "Spring". So in turn I wanted a singular colorful look, something that matched the gorgeous sky. I came up with this look. Simple yet Bold.

How I do my face, from this to this:

This is my preferred foundation at the moment. Loreal's True Match and I'm a W4. Liquid, because I like medium to full coverage.

I'm loving this concealer because it dries almost powder-like. The areas I like to cover are under the eyes, around the nose, and around the mouth.

Organic Wear Loose Powder. It comes in a cute little container in a very generous amount. The brows are also important.

After setting the lids with a preferred base I added a wash of blue.
A darker blue but within the range of shade was added on the outer corners
Line the eyes, both top and bottom, with fluid liner. Black.

Easter Sunday, Jayden's 2nd Birthday

2010-04-05T13:25:00.000-07:00

The messiest cake name decoration in existent. My bad! It's suppose to say "Happy 2nd Birthday Jayden" lolol.

Picking out his present and trying it on for size.

It was awful. It was raining, cold, yet still the kids managed to have a fun time with gathering the eggs.

That's all worth mentioning. I hope you all had a great Easter celebration, and hopefully it was sunny where you were.

~Dearest, M.C.

RETOUCHING ROOTS

2010-03-31T23:42:00.000-07:00

I'm currently in the process of redying my roots. Maybe I'm just a little self conscious but I do believe that I should have been born with brown hair. Lol. It's a hassle to maintain, retouching this and that every few months or so. I don't know. I just don't think that I look right with black hair.

Anyway, something off topic is I've been waiting for my letter from the LVN boards. I recently graduated from an LVN program, an 11 month course -- it was one of the most stressful, occupied, hectic, grueling, unforgettable yet also fun times of my life. If I could re-define "cramming my brain" it would aka "nursing program".

Clinicals. Studying. Clincals. Studying. <- My schedule literally was like that. Well, I also did sneak in "fun nights" and "partying it up" but come on! We weren't about to be boring soon-t0-be-nurses.

The day I graduated I was in heaven because I thought that was it! No more strenuous ordeals to worry about. But wrong... I still have to study for my NCLEX. I'm taking it step by step. I just can't wait to finally have that license in my hand.

Well, till then!

~Dearest, MC.

2010-03-25T01:24:00.000-07:00

Not so wearable for the day to the day, but it was fun to create.

I contemplated creating a tutorial out of it, but taking pictures of each process was a nuisance - I stopped taking pictures half way of putting on the rest of the eye shadow. I paired it with a bold lip. I also did not wear this out on public. After my self-shoot, I washed it off right away! Anyway, it's a bold look. I love the colors lots.

Reshaped magic lips...

2010-03-15T23:39:00.000-07:00

No, not really. In fact it's just a simple technique that most beauties out there has already heard of. Lip lining the lips accentuates and reshapes, fills and redoes, has the ability to recede and contour. So maybe it is magic after all, no? I have very thin lips compared to what I like. I need to line my lips if I ever want to wear lipstick otherwise it would look uneven from the front and botox and injecting the lips for me is out of the question. So I use my handy dandy lip liner to fill that sucker in.

So check it out. Bare lips. I'm using a brown lip liner for this technique.. Why? The brown is able to create almost any desired shape because it is so dark. Maybe a brown eyeliner would be better because it has no specks of glitter like a brown lip liner does which looks more natural. But it doesn't really matter in this case, so I'm using brown lip liner.

It looks a tad bit obvious, even "chola-ey" it seems!

I set it then with loose powder which sets it, similar to what you would do with foundation. It assures that the liner will stay put, as long as you don't lick your lips too much I guess. So long as you have that, the lip liner will not budge, hindering the routine of reapplying it again and again. It's somewhat like a second skin.

It does end up looking nasty and crackly so I advise a layer of lip balm or something.

So then now I finally apply my desired lip color. It definitely looks much more even compared to its before.

In these two sets of picture, I wanted to do an example of bow-shaped lips, like Rihanna's.

I extended the liner much more further out, creating a harsh pointed line on the top and created a much more fuller bottom lip.

So there it is. Happy lining. :)

Extending the life of false lashes

2009-05-01T00:20:00.000-07:00

False lashes ranges from different sizes and shapes and to the dramatic effect and natural look. It has really revolutionized the cosmetic industry within the past decade or so (Give or take a few years. Going by my own knowledge here, I may be wrong! lol) If you're like me, then you love love love it.

I prefer the natural appearance. I've only messed around with a few or so sets from Ardell.

Unfortunately, some of us don't have the $100's+ to spend on a week to week basis trying to establish the length and flutter that some of the stars are able to spend.

The nuisance of continuously buying and buying repeatedly is also quite hectic.

*Here are my tips for cleaning and prolonging your false lashes!

1.) Regular rubbing alcohol.

2.) Q tips

3.) An empty spray bottle. (Recycling is good so if you have some old spray bottle, clean it and use it!)

*Instructions.

1.) Take the empty spray bottle.

- Fill it in with 2/3's water

- fill in the rest w/ the rubbing alcohol.

2.) Mascara residue and lash glue leaves a yucky residue!

3.) Place it on the curvature your index finger.

You're using this as the liner. Your finger has a natural curve and placing the lashes on it while you clean it will help keep the arch in tact.

4.) Spray 3x directly onto lashes

5.) Using the Q-tip, gently wipe back and forth.

6.) Use the opposite side of the q-tip and dry. Don't forget to shape!

Clean lashes..! Ready to use.

2009-04-30T23:29:00.001-07:00

Pretty much I'm back with a blog.. Not anymore is it about makeup (although cosmetic is and will always be in my blood!) but just the daily things I come across, things I find interesting, advices, tips, etc. etc. ;>

2008-10-16T21:34:00.001-07:00

I'm Officially all better

2008-02-29T02:14:00.000-08:00

Ah it's been sucky, sickly, week for me. I lost my voice for about three good ol' days sounding like a man.. not that anything is wrong with sounding like a guy or anything. But thank-thank goodness I am all better just in the nic of time for my test tomorrow!! :D

It's been so long since I've used my brain this much. Literally stressing on studying for the math portion of the test Im going to be doing tomorrow. I hope I pass. 85% Can't be all that hard to get.. What is that? Like a B+.. Oh man, am I stress. But Im glad and proud of myself for studying, thanks to the love of my life for helping me with the strenuous Math that I wonder oh so much why on the face of the planet was made in the first place. >\

So now I have no reason to stray away from the subject of makeup. Yes Ill be back but not very promising, Im sure. Some tutorials are on the way and Im returning on the routine of recording my makeup rituals.. Just like riding a bike, I have to get used to it. Finding a good camera angle and view is always difficult, although Im sure I found a place I've gotten used to already. So thats all the useless rambling Im going to be doing. I have no idea who read that all, but thanks. lol..

Being sick freakin sucks. I've been sick for about 2 days now but I am much better than I was last night. My temperature was up there and I wasn't feeling good at all. Sleeping was such a hassle too. I couldn't sleep! After continuous attempts I have to say that I probably fell asleep around 4am.. if you can call it sleep. I woke up so many times during the night sometimes freezing, other times sweating, not only that but my dream was so awkward. Is it just me or do others also have the weirdest dreams during illnesses?

Well I hope I feel better and soon.

Valentines Day!

SO MUCH FUN!

Me and babester fooling around photowhorring!

Man, he's the sweetest!
Story: Valentines Day morning while I was getting ready, my door bell rang. When I answered it was my boyfriend. He stayed for like five minutes and while I was doing my makeup, he said he had to leave and he'll come back later. Obviously he knows me too much because when I'm doing my makeup, I don't walk him down the stairs and out the house.. SO he left.

Probably two hours later when my parents came home, my dad knocked on my door and said, "what's with the stuff downstairs?" I was totally utterly clueless! So I ran down the stairs and there's the stuff in my living room. Apparently, he left it there to surprise me just before he left my house! I totally thought he wasn't going to get me anything because he couldn't. Funniest thing was my Mom thought it was for her from my Dad. Lol, poor mamma!

My bear looking scary-fied!

My cousin Leesah and her boyfriend Johnny

My boyfriends sister Nara and her boyfriend Rob

Pie and Polo

We ate at Texas Road House. It was a quadrupel date! Since my babe was the only one who's 21, he ordered his first cocktail drink. He shared it around though, lol. He ordered two drinks and we shared it around while the waitress wasnt looking. I honestly had a blast. It was so much fun! Fun times . Fun times. Hope you all had a fantastic Valentine Day! Happy Weekend yallz!

2008-02-10T23:50:00.000-08:00

Hey Gals and maybe Guys. My weekend was pretty good. We headed to Arden Fair Mall up in Sacramento. I never get sick of that mall! I brought along my camera but stupid ass me didnt take any pics. It was b/ I didnt want to seem like a photowhore or a tourist because I'm not!

Well I did take some pics earlier that Friday, so a few face poses from me as well as others.

I got the job at Taco Bell! Before you think how stupid I am for being excited about getting hired at a fast food restaurant LET ME TELL YOU that I've been looking for a job for hecka long. I don't care. I just want and need money right now for personal girl reasons. So the point is I need to be doing something besides staying home and/or asking my parents for money when I want stuff.

my cousin Chris in the back, and I

I had to sneak a snapshot of my hun. Lol.

I started wearing contacts again because I have no idea where I put my glasses. Besides, glasses are a nuisance. Maybe I'll go back to contacts for good.. uhhhh nah maybe not. Switching on and off sounds better, dont it.

A close up on my e/s look and my very obvious contacts.

2008-02-07T23:16:00.000-08:00

Oh how I wish I had big eyes.

But I'm fine with these almond sets :D

One or the other? I can't have both

2008-02-07T02:23:00.000-08:00

Okay. I want a dog.

I have no idea if it should be a German Shepherd or a Golden Retriever. Either way, they're both going to be huge when they grow up.

Here are my reasons:

German Shepherd: Loving but protective dog. Was seen in I am Legend and the Hills Have Eyes, both seen protecting their masters. They're good watch dogs, are very loyal to their owners, and they look feirce.

Golden Retriever: A loving dog. Active, Gentle, kind, sweet, very obedient. Seen from the movie Homeward Bound.

What do you guys think, any suggestions?

Yes we can

2008-02-06T13:04:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama Yes we Can make a difference in this nation. After watching him in the news, staying up 2 to 3 am to watch his debate in the news I was totally inspired by what he wants to do. Hillary or Barack is a good choice, but Barack's voice reached out to me. He doesn't want to send away the immigrants that worked so hard just to get here and have a better life. He doesn't want to dismiss and ignore the America's voices and pleads and cries for help. He wants to make a difference and build America, that's falling, back up again to a better, far more united Country.. end diversities, stop the poverty or help to cease it happen once and for all. Yes I'm touched by him. Finally it seems like we can make a choice to help out.

Sore all around

2008-02-06T12:24:00.000-08:00

Okay! After reading snoozie 1305's post about excercising it had me realizing that I freakin made my new years resolutions about staying healthy or something like that. Soo I also hopped on my treadmill and ran 10 minutes. I was proud for running nonstop those 10 minutes. Its just the weirdest feeling after running and hopping off, the ground feels all funny. But anyways, yeah. I went back into my room and did my arms, crunches, and pushups. This was all done 2 days ago and now two days later I'm so sore. I just have to keep up with the routine and I'll be all good for summer!

Take a break and encounter. My thought of the day:

2008-02-05T18:52:00.000-08:00

When was the last time you took a break to just breath. Release stress, drama, anxieties, worries, etc. Im not talking about yoga, but if you want to then by all means- do so :) ! A little tip from me. Take your camera and snap photos of your surroundings: Nature, trees, plants, sky, etc. what have you. Its a serene moment and maybe it just might help out.

We often dream of a fantasized world and the wonderings of "what if's" and "if only" that we solmenly forget about reality. To understand the similarities we have to distiniguish the differences, and then finally we can let loose a life that we have to a life that we want.

A few things that I shot up. Mildy interesting.

ra~ra~ra!

2008-02-04T21:37:00.000-08:00

Lesson of the day! Don't slack. I found that having a new car made a big difference :

Usually I'd be soooo lazy to do anything and what I mean is driving around when I used to have my old car. & Now I freakin' love driving.. again. I'd make an excuse just to drive it. Maybe its a phase that I'll get over with..... BUT that seems highly unlikely, for now.

Car & Photoshopping.

Babe lookin stunned!

Have a blessed day!

Hey makeup bloggers and perhaps, others? Hows it going!! Well I'm coping with my rabbits death and its been alright so far. I still miss him a lot though and death is always a hard situation to process with mentally, no matter who it is.

I bought a new car finally! An Altima Coupe. I love the car! All the gadgets inside I'm still trying to get used and so far so good! I only drove it approximately 4 times since I've gotten it. My boyfriend does all the driving, lol, duh. It feels great having your own car! My dad sometimes drives it but to nowhere in particular really.. Just joy rides you could say. Its the fact that when I need the car, it's there for my using instead of the hassle of calling my parents or bitching at my brother.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that I'm a huge ghost hunter buff! I love ghost hunting but considering where we live, theres not ALOT of abandoned places to go searching. We went at a cemetary last night and it was raining so hard! We walked around and it was freaky dude! We dared one another to go into a rest room, in which the hall way was almost pitch black, but I could've sworn I heard a screech. After hearing it, everyone started running towards the cars. And honestly, on anything, I heard a screech! Not only that but we took two different cars, my car and my brothers, and those who came along were cousins, friends, and of course my boyfriend. When we got back to Inin's house, we talked about it and they also heard a screech, a womans screech. Basically everyone did.. So it makes you wo

BTW BTW BTW! Superbowl! I'm not gonna watch it though! Maybe the commercials. But yeah.

R.I.P Binky

2008-01-20T04:00:00.000-08:00

On friday, January 18th 2008, my rabbit Binky passed away. He caught a fever and wasn't responding to the treatments the vet gave him, apparently Bunnies don't respond to medicine so well, period. The fact of his passing hasnt hit me entirely yet. Infact it seems like hes in his cage right now just sleeping or eating.. but really he isn't. Its just so sad when I saw him in his box not moving and just laying there.. he was barely breathing.. had no energy to even stand, eat or drink. We took him to the vet and he said that Binky doesnt have much longer, but to try anyway by force feeding him Pedialyte. But that didnt work either.. we had no choice but to watch him slowly weaken and finally pass on. When he did I, he looked like he was just asleep.. but when I poked him, he didnt respond so thats when I knew. Were gonna burry him tomorrow around my backyard so that hes always near us. I was so attached to him.. like the best pet I could ever ask for.

I actually am thinking about right now how my Sister bought him from the petstore and came home with a black and white bunny just a year ago. Goodness I was so excited and played with him.. at that time, we thought he was a female so we named him Oreo.. Everytime we would let him run around, he would jump in the air and twist.. I thought something was wrong with him so I did some research on the internet. Apparently that little move was called the 'Binky' and it meant that if a rabbit does that, then they are overly happy and pleased. So we changed his name to Binky.. later on, I also found out that she was a he. Kind of humourous.. He was such a great rabbit. I would let him run around my front yard and backyard and he would visit around his surroundings, but he would always come home in the garage. I had no idea Rabbits even knew where they lived! But that's just a short description of how Binky's life was. I'll never forget him, ever. I hope he rests in peace and that his time with us was enjoying for him. I hope he was happy. At least now he gets to go to Heaven and meet his two other kids :)

"Goodbye Binky. We will always love you."

2008-01-11T05:01:00.001-08:00

I've been eating so much lately!!! Ugh. Okay before you guys assume and think that "what the?" or "you'are supposed to eat" or "she probably throws up" ( lol ) well heres the reason. For my New Years resolution, I wanted to start off the year by eating healthy. But I went totally opposite. Ive been going to Target lately, buying hecka chocolate candies for these stupid cravings of mine, that its getting irritating! I eat soo much that I honestly can say that I've never eaten so many junk foods in a row. Maybe this whole week Ive eaten a candy or five ;<
NO MORE SWEETS PLEASE!!!! I think Im gonna go back to my previous simultaneous routine of drinking water (with drips an drops of vinegar) to help reduce my cravings of chocolate.
Stupid Chocolate.
It isn't like Ive gained any pounds. As a matter of fact, Im at the ideal weight of being 5'2" (although I silently wish I could lose a half a pound or 2) but anyways, its weird. Ive never craved chocolate as much as I'm craving for them this past whole freakin ugly week. Now I have cramps from eating those truffles. Bathroom time? I think so :)

Smokey Eyes guys

2008-01-07T22:02:00.001-08:00

This is one of the many smokey looks Ive done in the past may it be captured in still pictures, tutorials, or not. It was appropriate and suitable that I make it smokey since I used the Smokey Palette from the Royal Assets collection. TO be honest this was like a freestyle which may be the reason why some of the applying seemed useless (like trying to shape it with the 219 when I just went over it completely with another E/S haha).

Organizing

2008-01-06T03:59:00.000-08:00

Today I recieved some hauls from my cousin Liza :D! Shes so nice to me !! I love the goodies girl. She took a picture of it, so when I get it Ill post it up.

Also I found it that my makeup storage place was beginning to get cluttered so I organized it. But the plastic square where I put all my lip products in was beginning to get on my nerves. It was so messy and I can never find the the color that I want without digging in which makes it more irritating to look at! Ive been contemplating about making the lipstick organizer, an idea from Enkore. The whole point was to recycle old cereal boxes and Im sort of a huge Go Green girl. Well I havent watched the tutorial on making the organizer in a while, actually since Pursebuzz first posted it up on her site. But all I needed was the idea and basics to remember it so I did my own version I guess. I didnt use any measuring, I found it no use. Just dot it with a pen or pencil and cut it up! It turned out just as useful :) It was actually very fun to make.

I used a cereal box and cut it into equal strips and then cut little slits on it.

This is what it looked like when I put the peices together.

It fits perfectly in the square plastic box!
After putting all lip products in! I didnt have enough spaces so I double and tripple stacked some of the once that could fit more than one.

:)

"Monster Storm" w/ a tutorial :)

2008-01-05T14:01:00.000-08:00

The weather yesterday was so terrible! It was all the rage in every local news channel, calling it a "Monster Storm." There were trees that pumbled over cars and houses, trucks tipping over, continuous accidents, 1.5 million (as reported) households were out of electricity throughout CA, with it being 200 thousands around my hometown. Even the lightpost across the street from my house was shaking back and forth I was afraid it was going to break.

But thank goodness a day later the wind calmed down. It actually reached up to 100mph at some locations. It seems as if the storm passed CA but I cant say much for the other West side of the U.S. I think its going to pass their way as well so good luck guys and stay safe!
Well now its just raining. Its freakin Saturday and its so ugly outside geeze. I dont even feel like doing anything.

Well despite of the bad weather yesterday, I did a tutorial! A yellow and bronze look. I have to say this was pretty easy to do!
And I came up with this little detailed planning of all these looks I wanted to do. What I did was drew some eyes and colored it with a similar crayon to the color of the E/S I wanted so that I wouldnt have to waste the eyeshadow on a paper. I mean Id be too afraid to do it! So far I came up with 12 eye shadow looks.. Its kind of a messy sketch but it acts like a guideline for me. I HATE experimenting. Sometimes it just comes out weird and messy. Im not an experimenter and I dont like doing it :) But Ill gladly take requests if anyone is interested. I might have to draw it beforehand and when I make the tutorial Ill show you guys what I whipped up on the paper :D

And here is the look I did. Enjoy!

We danced and caused mayhem in my garage and a few got a little tipsy.. quite a blurry memory but Im glad that I did remember it! And about the pictures I promised, that wont be happening unfortunately :(
The night just started out soo freakin boring that all the picture-taking spirit I had went away by the end of the night.

ALSO, today is my favorite cousin Liza aka Leesah's 3 year Ani w/ her man.. Heyy, congrats to you two love birds! If you check her blogspot out, her dress is fuckin gorgeous!

It's pretty colorful eh?

Well anyways today is NEW YEARS EVE! Damn, this year was pretty much a hectic one. I'm gonna remeber it for sure regardless of my claimfulness of short term memory, don't ask. Last night my Dad forgot to pay the Comcast Internet Bill, haha whoops! But thank goodness its up and running now. W/out it, there'd be no way I could have dloaded songs and burned a cd in time for the party. I doubt its gonna be crackin like last year was, but the girls and I will come up with something to make the party POP~

My camera's charged, up and running so am I hearing tons and tons of pictures?!?! Fa shooo. And I'm for sure am going to upload the pics in what else but my beautiful blogspot. ~.^ I've just been too lazy that's why! Soooooo yea. Time for me to eat me some pickles dipped in salt. Call me weird, I'd love it.

officially updated ~~~

2007-12-31T01:00:00.000-08:00

Updated for Christmas

2007-12-26T13:28:00.000-08:00

MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I haven't really been updating about my personal life lately, but that's alright. There's nothing interesting going on anyways! But I am really straightening myself for School. On the 28th I have to go to a CPR class to get my certificate so I can actually attend the school I want to go to. I have until January 2nd to turn in my app. so yep!

& Christmas Eve we had a party at my Grandma's house! Not a lot of people went, just a few close relatives and friends. Christmas I had my Bf, Leesah, Kim, and Cheska come over! We watched Ever After, one of my favorite favorite movies!! Kim and Leesah fell alseep and Cheska seemed like she only watched the ending. So me and my little sister watched the whole movie and I'm glad my sister liked it. Pretty much, that's as interesting as its gonna get! haha. I can't wait for New Years!! I hope it was like last year..

Avarice from the Originals Collection

2007-12-26T13:15:00.000-08:00

I love Leesah for getting me the collection for Christmas! She's freakin the best.

I went on the MAC website and browsed through the looks and I wanted to try the Avarice look. It came out natural and pretty looking which I like! For this look I didn't use any Mascara BTW. Also looking through their looks, I realized that they name their looks based on the Lip Product they used! Pretty interesting.. So even though this look is called Avarice, I didn't use the Avarice LipGlass.. Soo yeah! Enjoy guys.

Hey girls hey! Another Tutorial. Enjoy!! :)

But first of all, it was such a blast hanging out with the ladies at my brother girlfriend's birthday. I'll post up pictures as well as a waitress singing happy birthday to her! Till then..!!

Jaimey Lynn Spears is pregnant.

2007-12-19T02:28:00.000-08:00

WTF?!?!?!! 16 year old and younger sister of Britney Spears is pregnant. Um..... Way to add to the craziness of 2007! I don't know about you guys, but this is a little hard for me to try and comprehend. I mean damn, I thought she was freakin 13. I also used to watch her show in Nickelodeon and she reminds me of my little sister. Ugh I don't even want to think about it.. But I do wish her the best!

Pigment Pressing

2007-12-19T01:22:00.000-08:00

Pigment Pressing! What a task.. I found it to be very frustrating and yet addicting! But for now that's all the pigment pressing I'm going to do, at least for a while anyway. It was actually after seeing Linda's post & pictures that inspired me to do it! So thankies Linda :)

I pressed the Holiday Pigments and because I was only limited to 6 cases I had to choose the most vibrant of the colors.

Tutorial time!

2007-12-18T12:52:00.000-08:00

This look is far too much as outgoing goes.. But I was experimenting :) Oh and I also said my name because Linda wanted to know how to pronounce it. Lol, so there ya go Linda :) K, ENJOY GUYS!

Title-less

2007-12-17T02:24:00.000-08:00

A Saturday, one definitely to be remembered. First of all it was my cousins Zuriel's birthday. Secondly my Aunt, which is his Mom, went to the Hospital early that morning to check on her baby (Because she was supposed to be due but a few extra days were needed before full labor).

That day me, Liza, and Cheska hung out, went to the mall, splured (a little), sipped on some hot-chocolate and then some! After all that, we went to this family-business get together where we took a billion and one pictures (But most of the pics were in Liza's camera). Everything seemed to be going along great! After that, Zuriel, Liza, Cheska, Me, Michelle, and Junalynn (If u count that, yes we over packed Liza's car. LOL) headed to my house where already my Boyfriend, Kim, Chris, his girlfriend Chelsea, and my brother were already at. We were just kickin back when my cousin Zuriel got a phone call stating that someone stole his Dads car and broke in his house.... WE ALL rushed over there as fast as we could. I'm just gonna leave it at that.. but man, wtf! What kind of sick inconsiderate bitches would do something like that! My Aunt is amidst contracting because of her baby and she was sobbing uncontrollably because of it all. Just the sight of it made me cringe.. I was crying for them. Shit I wish those bastards would go to Hell and burn there.

My Uncle looked like he really needed some company so after everybody left their house, me and my boyfriend slept over with my cousin Zuriel. We slept on the living room.. if you can even call it sleep. We had to wait for the cops and some investigator to take fingerprints.. it ended around 4am. My Aunt and Uncle didnt even SLEEP. My Aunt I felt bad for the most.. I mean she's freakin 9 months pregnant.. man just thinkinga bout it. Fuck.

Around 8am I dropped my boyfriend to his house and I went home b/ my Mom needed the car to go to work. I slept till 3pm. After that me and my BF went back to their house because they needed help to write down all the things that were missing... anything to help them out. Geeze, it makes me realize how heartless some people can be. I'll end it at that. I'm also gonna post some pictures, and although I'm not in any mood to browse and smile through the pictures, I'll do it anyway. So I guess enjoy guys.

LashFusion Review

2007-12-15T02:45:00.000-08:00

Very brief and short, and as promised.

A Whole New World

2007-12-14T01:57:00.000-08:00

I first seen Nick Pitera when reading RiceBunny's Xanga and on it had his youtube video of 'Part of Your World'. I must say OUTSTANDING! I couldn't believe it at first but it truly was his real voice.. Heres another segment of his 'A Whole New World' sung both male and female by him. Enjoy!

browsing..,

2007-12-14T01:24:00.001-08:00

I was recently browsing through Deviant Arts and came upon this picture. I wrote a little peice about it with the Starfish's perspective and basically put myself in its shoe. What would the little creature think finding itself in such a God-in-awe sight..

A lonely starfish, its way away from home. Afraid in the shift of its terrain unable to feel the watery world. Until it looked up and grasped the wonderous sight with its eyes alone, limbs unable to feel the sky, but touched its heart nonetheless.. It then felt that being away, far far away, wasn't so bad.

So I've decided..

2007-12-14T01:17:00.001-08:00

since my header isn't cooperating after continuously trying to meddle with it, I've decided to take it off, for now at least. Maybe tomorrow it'll be good as new? Maybe..

WTF???

2007-12-14T00:56:00.000-08:00

What's wrong with my header?!?!?!
someone help pleaasee?? =(

Happy 2 years and 1 month to me!!

2007-12-12T22:48:00.000-08:00

Whoo so it's past 1 month after my 2 years! Yayy! Me and my boyfriend didn't do anything special today but just hanging out with him is special enough! =D

.............................................................................................

LashFusion

Okay I actually planned on doing a video review on the LashFusion that my cousin Leesah bought me fro Costco (thanks Leesah!!) but amidst uploading my vid onto my laptop, the stupid thing froze. Not only that but it was right after I had just deleted it from my camcorder.. What a freakin waste !! Maybe I'll do another vid tomorrow but it's a maybe.

Here's the product:

It definitely does lift and plump, at least with my lashes, but it doesn't seperate much like the way my PlushLash<3

And here's a random picture of my laptop.

Curly Wavy Look

2007-12-12T11:50:00.000-08:00

My first real actual hair tutorial! If it seems that I don't know what I'm talking about, then I probably don't LOL. But I hope you guys like it regardless, maybe find it even useful someday in your llifetime =). This isn't how I naturally curl my hair, but it definitely gave that curly wavy look and that's what I was trying to attempt. So enjoyy!

I got shot

2007-12-11T19:37:00.000-08:00

It was yesterday not today that I had to take my flu shot. I was pretty scared at first and my little sister seemed to be braver than I was! Since my Aunt works at the hospital, we got to cut in line... lol. The wait in line was like 2 hours long so we went through a secret passage way. Man oh man was there a lot of people! Alot of babies and kids.. I felt guilty. But I also didn't feel like waiting that long, so thank goodness.

Right now I want to go to Target to buy some skincare products. After reading Linda's post, I want to go buy some! And besides, I ran out of face washing products and I'm afraid that Im going to get some pimples now. 2 already popped up and I don't want that whole pimple-ordeal to happen again. Being broke and jobless, I have no money.. I feel bad asking my Mom for money every single time. So there I said it! I'm still depending on them at 19 years old.. =( I feel terrible. So as we speak, I'm going to apply at Panda Express. Wish me luck! I'll update this shiznat later... Later readers!

First off let me just say that 4 very gorgeous girls were glamoured up by Liza or Leesah and I =)
A pretty fun day with results just as fun in the end. Cheska, InIn, Heidi, and Hazel were our so-called clients. They turned out really pretty! After they headed to their Formal Leesah and I were left all alone but that wouldn't stop us! No indeed ~~~ We headed to Target and I bought black leggings and a lightbulb for my lamp <- no need to ask why b/ you already know. LOL! YES, we're all doing it nowadays O_O;
Thanks to Leesah for spotting me! I was short $2. Then we went to Wendy's where she totally killed my diet >P But it's alright.. b/ I ate again that night. LOL! So far for my diet.

In addition to that I did a look from the Royal Assets: COOL eyes. I know the picture down below says 'WARM' but it was an error where muah is simply too lazy to fix.

P.S. My Third Wisdom Teeth is freakin growing and I'm in pain. Help! =(

Aah! I've been tagged. =D

6. I am now officially used to using Listerine MouthWash and what I mean is rinsing for a full 30 seconds every morning and night. ( No more tears!)

7. I wish to witness a Star's death due to the explosion~lights and rays it penetrates! ( But certainly nowhere near Earth because if that was the case, we would all be dead =( )

maan whats wrong with me?!

I freakin forgot today (or yesterday o_o;) was Friday! ..and I was all dressed scrubby in my sweats, hair not did, makeup nonexistant, I was looking like a cookie monster. Man oh man I thought it was Thursday! .. or a Friday w/ school tomorrow. Soo, yea. My baybay came over and we relaxed. I watched Fight Club and let me tell you, LOVED IT. Brad Pitt to die for ~.^

After Kim came over after her practice my Mom told me it was my Aunts birthday so I had a reason to get all semi-glamoured up, pehh not really. I ate there.. Watched some unnecassary things (which wasn't my fault I swear it) then returned home. Right now Man Vs. Wild is on.. <3 him. Hes freakin crazy.. and awesome! So enough about my ramblings.

Heres my wishlist as far as earing-wise goes! These pictures are from Zales website.. I lost my earing, unfortunately. It looked like the second one but with a large stud diamond in the middle, instead of three! The first one I just love.. It doesn't necassarily have to be from Zales but pretty much around their league ;D . BTW my hole probably pretty much closed by now since I hadn't worn an earing in like... a month? But yea =) Babe if you're reading this... Lol.

I hate Windows Movie Maker

2007-12-07T16:48:00.000-08:00

Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista fuckin sucks! So I downloaded the old verson for XP so thank goodness =)

**UPDATED!!.

You're probably wondering "eww.. why does she have the same shirt with these two looks?" and I can definitely answer that for U! I did the first look Mi'plum earlier that day then I wiped it off and did Silvermatic as well as a tutorial. A request by none other than my dear cousin Liza (aka Leesah =) .. I'll type her name like that for now on) I wanted to do a look using Metalblu but it didn't turn blue at all! Maybe a hint (???) The glitter liner, I think, is my favorite! It really adds that DIVA STATUS. So yeazzle! Hopefully I'll start talking on my tuts but that's gonna be unlikely for a while haha. Anyways, enjoy.

This morning baby bunny passed away =( . I honestly did try everything I could but I guess it wasn't enough. Last night he was pretty lively and I fed him again after writing the very first post about him.. Then I don't know what happened. Maybe my room was too cold but I had the lamp to help try and keep him warm but it didn't seem to work. I didn't get much sleep either because I woke up repeatedly throughout the night to try and check on the bunny.. He was freezing. So I readjudged the position of the shoebox and the lamp to the best I can. When my dad went to check on the bunny this morning, he wasn't moving. He woke me up and I checked as well refusing to believe that he was dead. So I figured he was sleeping and I poked him lightly a couple of times.. He didn't move. =(

I guess it wasn't meant to be and so on he went to join his other sibling in Bunny Heaven. I hope he's doing good over there. I'm never gonna forget him.. Rest in Peace Baby Bunny.

A sad beginning with a hopeful start

2007-12-04T23:18:00.000-08:00

December 04, 2007
Baby Bunny was born.

I have two rabbits, one female, one male, Tinky and Binky. He wasn't neutred, she wasn't fixed so I should've expected this to happen.. But I didn't. This morning my Dad went to check on the rabbits and saw two babies inside the cage. One was moving and the other wasn't. To his shock, my mom, and when he woke me up, mines, we didn't know what to do. We immediately took Tinky, the mother, and the still lively baby bunny inside a seperate cage and placed them both inside the garage where it was warmer.. The baby bunny was there squirming with eyes closed looking so helpless.. I felt both sad and happy.

Quickly, I did some research snooping around the internet about newly born rabbits as much as I could and came upon a couple of articles. One claimed that if the baby is deathly freezing, it's alright if you remove the from the Mother, since the only times they will show affection the the baby is when she is feeding them, and place them inside the house where it's warmer. So I did. Also it said that the Mother is supposed to remove her fur to help keep the kit warm.. but she didn't. So I used cotton balls to substitute for her fur and placed some hay around to help keep the bunny arm.

I felt so bad!! Bunny was so cold, I was suprised he was still alive! I tried my best to keep him warm.. and after a few hours, his temperature finally increased to the touch. I wanted to see if Tinky would feed him so I returned Bunny back to his Mother, but incase she didn't (since at the time, she seemed to be an unfit Mother to my eyes at least), me and my boyfriend went to Petco and bought Goat Milk (Substitute milk) and alittle baby bottle..

When I returned, my little sister Michelle said that she was trying to bite the baby and turned the nest box around so she couldn't reach him. I was like "Maybe she was just trying to lick him, that his Mom.." I fixed the bottle up and when I tried to feed him something was bleeding. I thought it was me and I was confused as to where the blood was coming from?! Then I realized, a peice of the Rabbit's ear was missing and he was bleeding.. Omg, I can't even describe how I felt.

Yeah, I paniced.. I quickly took some Hydrogen Peroxide and helped tend to his wound with a Q-tip so it finally stopped bleeding. I read some more in the articles that if a Doe isn't prepared to be a Mother, or is too young, she will react cannibalism and eat her own young... So the baby is left without a sibling and unwanting parents. I'm gonna try my best to raise him on my own with just these articles on the internet to help me out... I pray to God that he doesn't die. I've grown attached to him already! So yep, I'm his Mother now and I'm going to do my best. As the following days and weeks go on, I will be taking more and more pictures. Wish me luck guys.

I've been MIA

2007-12-03T20:03:00.001-08:00

Let's start this section on Saturday! I woke up rather early much excited 'bout my haircut. A V shaped long layer with slightly some bangs definitely made my day, as well as a new hairdresser. She's good!! So I'm gonna try and follow up her demands on getting trims once a month and getting a 2by2 which is a deepconditioning for $10, also once a month! No pictures were taken unfortunately but you guys can get get a glimpse ( if it is at all noticeable ) of what it's like on these pictures.

Also I got to finally meet Rocky Bubbles Sey! The cutest puppy bull dog I have ever met! He's so calm, loving, and playful! I swear he's almost like a baby.. Since I think we weren't aloud to bring little Rocky inside Sir Gauuans, Cheska had to babysit him as he was asleep. He was whining on our way there because he was thirsty. I felt so bad that he had to wait an hour+ to drink some water! I really want a puppy now especially a pit bull, but I found out that getting a dog is like having your own child. They need demands, food, water, accessories, and other things like that. I'm not ready yet.. I also thought about getting a pup for my BF and he was above excited! But he thought about it, and he isnt' ready either. We're both jobless and need to suppor for our future puppy! Till then! But having to spend a day with Rocky really made up my mind. I want to get a pup just like him!

And then after that, it was my Mom 38th birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM...

Ok I was blogging earlier and came upon this persons blog (Lani), and her post fascinated me. On it had a FreeRice site where you can test your vocabulary while helping the poor and the hungry in the United Kingdom. Rules are each vocab. question answered correctly donates 20 grains of rice. Let me tell you it was a challenge but I managed to donate 1740 grains of rice after accidentally [X]ing the site =\ bummer. But heres the site if you guys want to try it out. It's for a good cause.

Totally speechless. This Little Miss Diva from the Philippines is just so incredibly amazing enough to send shivers running down your spine! Don't believe me? Watch her for yourself.. FYI she isn't lipsyncing whatsoever.

Omg, I came across her Take 2 on Listen by Beyonce. This one has got to be the most powerful vocals I have ever heard! Better than the first Take. Also, I encountered other updates on her as well. It seems two days ( or nights, whenever the Ellen Degeneres show plays ), ago she was feautured in her show and she was simply astonished by Charice's talents. I hope she gets to perform in the U.S. she just might get her break. A talent like that DESERVES to be heard! And only at 14 years old too?!?!?!

2007-11-29T02:38:00.000-08:00

Man oh man was I full today! Me and my babe went to buy some tacos from the taco track. I, of course, got the beef taco [ 3 of them! ] while Navarong got a fat ass enchilada (is that how u spell it?). It was mm-mm good! I should've taken a picture of it but unfortunately my camera was in my room and knowing me, I am not about to climb up any stairs just to get such a thing! I wasn't desperate enough.. But I LOVE spending time with him. We have ALOT of things in common and all that jazz! Maybe it's just me but I'm getting alittle bit too full of myself lately. I always want to be right when we argue, when most of the times he's the right one.. I feel bad thinking about it. He's always so nice doing whatever it is that I ask him to do for me without question! LOVE truly is an amazing feeling and I can honestly say this about myself and my cousin Leesah, who is also inlove might I add ~.^ . Basically, today started off good, then bad for a few reasons I wont say, then good again. Whoot!

I suck.....

2007-11-29T02:26:00.000-08:00

Like I said a few errors were made in my first tutorial and for those who hadn't caught it - then good! Don't look for it =D . But I will make a few things obvious; the lighting seems dim, it appears I look away far too much, and spot anything else feel free to tell me =\ . Here are some pictures of a few looks I did some time ago. Ok, I over exaggerated a bit. It wasn't some time ago, but maybe this month. Haha and I have no idea what and which colors I used! And don't think I'm going to check either. They aren't FOTD's to me.. But yeah, whatever here they are!

Find me corny but I like to give my look nicknames! So there they are. Aint all that.. =P

Ohkay!

2007-11-27T23:14:00.000-08:00

Whoot!

2007-11-27T03:57:00.000-08:00

Can't we all agree that it has indeed been a while since I've last posted something up?!?!? So I've got a few things to say. First of all, the haircut I mentioned is out of the topic since I didn't get it. Story; Me, Leesah, little sister Michelle headed to Sirgauans (however you spell it. If U ask me they dont deserve a spell corrector =P ! ). Come to find out, they close at 4pm. So evidently, I had 20 minutes left or something.. ;( I was kind of bummed and desperately wanted to do something to my hair! So onto Sally's we went! After purchasing my wonderful PlushLash from MAC of course! .. which I love love love ~.^. I've been wanting to go brunette for a while so we bought a few things here and there. My house, we arrived, and my hairdresser Leesah dyed my hair........................ Long story short, it only dyed my 'virgin hair' -- my roots. So there I was with pretty light brown roots with a black, over all, do! Um, pictures weren't neccesary. So we drove back, hoping and praying that Sally's would still be open. & it was! Praise the heavens (at the moment) we told the sales person ( I doubt her name is Sally, ha ha ) , and she explained what had happened. Bought MORE things and went to Leesahs house, after picking up our dear friend Cheskaa! .... Ok, before I write an unecessary essay about this, I'll just list what happened. I get carried away w/ typing or so it seems.

-Bleached it, some strands turned blonde, orange, while others remained black. ( arggh )
-Dyed it brown again ( after buying the products AGAIN )
-and viola!

My hair had roots that didn't match my hairdo, some peices had black, while some had blonde or something ??? My hair turned ugly and cripsy after dying and blowdrying, and styling! But the good part was, no one really noticed. So yes I was transformed into a brunette for three or four days before dying it back to good old black. Next time, if I want a haircut, I'll stick to it. =) But it's undeniable that Leesah had a good practice on me! One to be her last of course but good nonetheless. =)))

& Thanksgiving was fun hanging with the ladies. The boyfriends ( Navarong & Johnny ) were there of course but for a brief moment. They succumbed the night watching Naruto and eating while me and Leesah sorta did. BLACKFRIDAY, boy oh boy. Lets just say it was both tiring, mayhem, and fun. Things I bought were the stuff I need, and Leesah bought both of us the Fast Eye Respone from MAC.. =\ I didnt want her to I swear! Oh Leesah, why must you spoil me so?!?! But I do love her. My most favorite cousin [ slash ] friend ! ..and that's how its been, & always gonna be!

the BEST from the BEST !

2007-11-24T13:04:00.000-08:00

cheska & leesah

were here .

Sigh

2007-11-20T22:17:00.000-08:00

There were no photos taken today nor yesterday so I'm out of luck on postin' any up. But the nosy readers of today can still catch up on some reading (kidding about the nosy part). Maybe the most exciting part of today was that my Mom made 'soupas'. Don't know what it is? Tough luck on your toungue =P .

So heres the update: Not much really! But I am thinking about chopping an inch or so from my hair. Finger crossed, I hope I'm not overtaken by the urge of taking away any dramatic lengths. I mean I've done it before when all I wanted was a simple trim.. =\ Well we'll just see what will happen.

In a game mood today?

2007-11-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

The randomness has yet to cease!

Games games and more games! I don't know about you but I've seen this commercial about a hundred times on t.v. and the cliffhanger ending made me curious to see what would happen next, so like the dork I am I went online and went to assassinscreed dot com. Pretty impressive I must say! The PS3 for my Christmas List just went up =]

Nerd status and with good reasons.

2007-11-19T01:24:00.000-08:00

The highly anticapted nature documentary about our planet and it's habitat is now back! (and has apparently been back since last week) Channel 56 discovery channel. I remember when it made it's grand premier, I can't remember when, but the trailer said 'This spring' so I suppose last spring of this year, on the Discovery Channel. I must say, I tuned in every whatever day it was, and watched each and single episode. I was so ecstatic that I even made my BF who isn't much of a Discovery Channel buff watch it. Wondering why I love it so much? It was the infamous trailer that swept me off my feet. I recommend you watch it. It's not the typical bore which most nature documentary with the english accented man has. It not only provides us with great knowledge and facts about our own very planet but also rare sights most of us will not have the pleasure of witnessing in our entire life time. Such beauties should be adored by us and not be wasted away by our faults of cause inflicting pollution. Polar bears are amidst extintion so just think about that! Ugh... this makes me want to buy a Hybrid car or something.

UGGers

2007-11-19T00:05:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately the title cant say it all b/ me, Leesah and Cheska didn't, or were infact too lazy (or was it the forgetfulness), to take pictures of our boots. =\ well maybe next time, since my feet loves its place within the fabric boot!

Not that we have anything against Lancome! Infact the word is they produce the best mascaras! Great for the Lancome Mascara users, I for one however prefer MAC. AS U CAN C! besides, MAC was waay too busy to take pictures at.

oh the woeful sight of a blurry world. At least you get to see what its like with bad visions. =D

indeed shopping does. too bad we didn't buy any of the shoes =\
..we weren't much healed after that. =(

You don't need the fancy places, comfy seats, polished tables, or a roof in this matter, to enjoy a great meal.

12 BBQS. 3 of us. U do the math!

Papaya salad w/ beef sticks for the girls, $12.
Drinks, $3.

Thanks for tuning in!

Hmm....

2007-11-15T22:18:00.000-08:00

I bought this shoe from Dillards maybe a month or two ago and I still haven't worn them! I think it's gorgeous but I have nothing to match with it except for my Coach purse =\. And not only that but it looks like a 'Spring' 'Summer' type of shoe. It would be such a waste if I didn't wear it. =\ Maybe I'll wait next year?

Movies I'm dying to watch

2007-11-15T01:55:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm a Jessica Alba fanatic. And since I missed 'Good Luck Chuck' in the theatres, I must must MUST watch these movies. It just seems like I owe my girl the favor. (Lol)

Okay, Leesah said the book was good. So I'm trusting her on this one. Besides, I do love me some Angelina Jolie, especially as villain status!

Okay. Here's the deal with this movie. The first time I'd seen this trailer on MTV, I think it was, I was hypnotized. watch the trailer and if it doesn't catch your attention, there is something seriously wrong with you...

So after watching these, I'll be writing my very own honest critique and review. Till then! TTYL.

Makeup Mistake =\

2007-11-14T23:53:00.000-08:00

After watching Stephienese's recent blog review about Ebay! brushes Real Authentic versus the fake ones, it made me realize that I probably might've modestly gone through the same mistake as she did with my palettes.

Okay, so the story is about a year ago, maybe October - November (?) I wanted to buy some makeup. I wasn't really a big MAC fan back then. Don't get me wrong, I love the products, but they seemed a little pricey for me. I would only buy foundation, couple brushes here and there, but I've never really paid any particular attention to the shadows or the new products that would come up; things like that. Well I really wanted to buy some eye shadows but I was like, "$14.00 for one?" and I wanted like all of them. Besides that, I didn't know which color or which one to start off with!

I looked around and came upon this website from Ebay! and it caught my eye. I mean 96 e/s color palette with lots and lots of brushes which was goat hair, authentic. I thought about the Math and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how great the value was. When it arrived, I immediately opened it all excited-like. I looked at the brushes and it looked like they gave me two brushes of the same kind or something.. I didn't complain or anything, I was like "cool, more brushes, whatever." But the so-called high quality pigments the site claimed the eyeshadows contained were a little suspicious.

Here is the entire palette of the Ebay! Eye Shadow.

Here are some of the brushes. As you can see, I categorized the dual ones with colors (1,2). Also, the quality of the handle is plastic. Believe it or not, one of the brushes actually ripped from handle while I was cleaning it. So just imagine the quality of these brushes.

These 2 pictures are to show the pigment quality. It's shimmery but it applies sloppily onto the brush; no matter what brush I seem to use (may it be MAC or the ones above), and when I apply it onto the eye itself, it has that dust effect that just gets everywhere! Don't get me wrong, it get's the job done but I have to really really really pack on just to get the color and results that I want, where as to a typical MAC E/S, I'd only need to apply it once, blend, and boom I'm done.

The three shades that are circled are a few of my pet peeve E/S's. I hate it. I used it to apply as an overall eye lid color but no matter how many times I apply it, it comes on dusty and messy and the shade just looks awful.
* Sorry about the ugly star I drew next to that fuschia color. I don't know if you can see it, but there are those scratch marks that I had to make just to get the color onto the brush. It appears that if without use, the E/S itself will dry up..... or something?

Overall I would give the brushes 4/10 .
As for the palette itself 6½/10.

But plain and simple, I myself wouldn't recommend buying makeup from Ebay!. Just like what Stephienese said, "You never truly know what you're getting./././."

pretty blah day.

2007-11-14T22:20:00.000-08:00

Okay here's the deal. I'm gonna try to update this blog every day.. at least everyday. Why? Because I feel that I have the obligation to. Or maybe just because..? One thing's for sure is that it keeps me occupied.

I'm glad Leesah and Cheska finished up their layout, template, or whatever it's called. If it isn't a layout, oopsie, I'm just so used to Myspace is all. BTW if you check out Leesah's blog, I photoshopped that pictured. I think it looks hot. Haha. Anyway..................... Pageant Place is on, so maybe I'll update this later???? TTYL.

What's on my mind

2007-11-14T02:00:00.001-08:00

These things have been bugging me lately to the point where it takes me a long while to get some sleep. First of all, I need to do something besides just moping around and complaining that I need to do something. Until I go back to school, which will be in another half a year or so, I desperately need to occupy myself prefferably with a job! ..So it's not suprising that you'll see me bitch and spam blogs like these, myspace, etc etc with a "Job Search." I guess it's pretty pathetic of me but I can't help it. Maybe there's some miracle opportunist out there that's willing to hire someone living in the 209 area.. but then again, I highly doubt that.

And just to add to my further dismay, Navarong is leaving to L.A. for a few days. Few as in I hope it's a few and not a couple. I'll pray for his safe travelling; him and his Dad.

So, it's 2 AM in the morning and I don't know what to do. There's nothing on the television but the same sitcoms repeating over and over, or maybe it's just me that I've watched every single episodes ever aired. I feel like such a low-life..

So I'm going to cross both fingers on both hands that I get the job at Elephant Bar. I've always been wanting to work at a restaurant, until I go back to school!, so it would be a great experience. If not, there's always BJ's to try and apply. Doubt I'll get that position as well.. Aww, all this moping around is ruining my self-esteem. I really need to do something fun.

Job Searching

Fingers crossed, I hope I get the job at Elephant Bar.
