some random

remember when MOTOJEWELRY was brand new? weeeell if you think these earrings are siiiiick, stop by a budding artisan's page and help yourself to MAITAI JEWELRY and snag a pair for yourself! ;) other styles available.

speaking of MOTOJEWELRY, be sure to keep your eye out for a few new pieces in the upcoming weeks :) custom orders will be closed at the end of november to ensure that i can order and receive any orders i may have to make to my supplier BUT premade pieces will be up for sale up until december 19th (or somewhere around there, depends when i leave for TX). as in.. all payments must be in by the cut-off date or else you will NOT receive your package until AFTER the holidays. sorry!

i've been spending the last week or so completely worshipping nutella. it started at the grocery store, i decided i wanted to try peanut butter + banana + ..... i was missing a third ingredient. i flashed back to an episode on the food network about simple sandwiches.. and.. bingo! NUTELLA! now i don't know what they're doing in the first pic but i would definitely consider a nutella bath ;) it's the best thing on sliced bread since.. sliced bread! :P

i asked once what it tasted like.. back before i knew nutella (i prefer to call them the dark ages, hahahah!).. and no one knew! but.. but i know! it tastes like FERRER ROCHER! aka chocolate and hazelnut. delicious. and um, the bf hasn't stopped thanking me for getting him into nutella.. since ferrer rocher's are his absolute favorite candy in the entire world, LOL. well, chocolate? candy? hmm..

how awesome is this shirt?? puahahah!! i think it's uber amazing. it's what i should've been wearing during my "awkward hand signs" video.. and probably should be my life slogan :P check it out at HERROHACHI!

whoever invented cup noodles is AMAZING. though, i think i could live without the carrots and peas. (peas and carrots?) and um, chicken flavor is the best. don't try creamy chicken, it's kinda gross IMO. i think i need to get me a costco sized crate of it ;)

some photography with the canon 5d mkII and the 85mm f/1.8

yep, beer! i'm currently in the FOOD class offered here at Brooks Institute (of Photography) and our group assignment for the first week was themed "Hot/Cold beverage".. we were able to choose between beer, wine, tea and soda. my group chose beer (notice how i said my group.. hahah it's all good though). we have a fourth shot with the beer actually pouring into a glass but i haven't gotten around to editing it yet ;) so check for that later this week!

i'd appreciate any feedback.. so.. let me know what you think, any improvements, etc.

*on that note, i do realize that the middle image is MUCH more yellow.. and will fix that. later.

skin has been acting up. oh, and on that note.. i finished my bottle of CETAPHIL CLEANSER.. so i purchased another one. silly me, thinking that since my skin hasn't acted up, that i should focus on oil control.. so i purchased the "for normal to oily skin" one.. BAD BAD BAD. it stings my face! it also has a scent and the consistency is thicker. so, i need to head down to CVS and get the "for sensitive skin" version.. hope i don't get distracted by the makeup aisle ;) haha!

if anyone wants my "for oily skin" cetaphil bottle, i'm def willing to part with it. shipping will be more due to weight. used 2x, for $6.00 (not under the $2 sale).

note to self: buy more socks! think COSTCO!

PS: putting on socks while your feet are freezing cold does NOTHING. your feet have to be warm (with the possibility of them getting cold.. not like it's sweltering hot outside) for you to put on socks and for them to be efficient in trying to keep your feet warm.

maybe i should look into self-heating socks xD and no, i don't like those "toe" socks.. i can't stand the feeling of things inbetween my toes.

time to go make the bf stop playing call of duty modern warfare 2.. (that i bought him as part of my gift to him for our 2 year anni) -__- he apparently stayed up until 4am last night playing! no wonder i had weird dreams!
