pic heavy!

NYX EYESHADOWS ($6/per)

(L-->R) alaska, oro, green tea, ocean

close-ups got mixed up and.. i am too lazy to fix them. so. deal! ;P

i think i like oro (gold) the most.. wish it was a little lighter. ah, well. sucks that you can't open and swatch while in store.. but.. not too bad. haven't worn ANY of them since i've been SUPER lazy.. but.. soon!

NAILPOLISH


pretty, eh? nevermind my shitty painting job ;P hahaha. it peeled off anyways! arghhhh.. even the red one. maybe it's just the nailpolish.. 'cause i switched my clear NP brands.. i dunno :\ worked OK when i put the color straight on my nail but it stained it a little, annoying. it's fine up until i go into the shower.. or do dishes.. hot water stuff.

NYC nailpolish (blue/red).. forgot the brand of the cinnamon/rusty one though.

NEUTROGENA LIPGLOSS

not really pretty separate.. but looks pretty good when i put them on together. haven't tried other lipstick/lipgloss combinations. not a fantastic lipgloss either (then again, it is drugstore..)

MERVYN'S.... again. more of the same stuff ;P just taken with my powershot.
better view of the back of the mime-esque shirt.. i think it's muy cute :)

again w/ the black/grey stripey long sleeve. aahhh.. i looks chubs :(

reeeeeaally liked this~! freaking comfortable. too bad it was WAY too big :| even if it doesn't look like it in the pic (hah, being a photog makes me know how to pose ;P who would've guessed).. i think it was an L but i think i need more of a M or S possibly. but! at least i know i can wear the style :)

here's a better pic of the actual style: HERE @ victoriassecret.com

see how it fits her waist better? this one was slightly too baggy, even if i do love loose fitting stuff.. 

THE RECENT SARAH

my hair is so black! ish. actually i think it's more of a dark brown.. dark dark dark dark brown.. but still. this is pretty dark as to how it normally is. KATIE! remember that shirt? ;) jtown baby!

THE HAPPY COUPLE
i love how he holds my hand when he drives.. <3 

hahha.. what a dork :)

KITCHEN RANDOMNESS
i spy me some bananas! wtf is that label on there? why are they on the microwave?

HAHAHAHAHAH. 'nuff said!

"the bananas in the kitchen LOL'd at me!"

MONEY-WISE/MONEY-STUPID

the boyfriend wanted to get a tripod head for his new cam (that's coming.. hasn't gotten it yet!) 'cause it has a video function.. so..... i decided to get it for him :| we were both wandering around the store and he finally decided he was going to get it.. and i decided that the present that i'd gotten for him was just satisfactory (wasn't TOO excited to give it to him.. in fact.. i think i was more excited about wrapping it obnoxiously LOL). blah? maybe. i can afford it. he was super happy :) PLUS i told him it was his christmas AND bday.. but i might cave in and get him something for his bday too (more sentimental though). we'll see. excited for jan/feb session though.. will have hit the mulah jackpot with my stipend from my fin aid checks! but.. all must be saved towards rent so the parents will have an easier time. MAYBE a splurge. ONE! if it's a good sale.. and only if i've wanted it for awhile! WILL POWER!

been browsing around (makeup) websites.. man. my makeup wishlists on the bathroom door next to my comp.. has been growing. but i have been resisting!! i add things to my "basket".. look at the price.. and close the window. arrrgh. so hard sometimes.. but.. really. how much MU do i use?! next to none! i really should be using my eyeliner that i bought.. and be experimenting with decent looking eyeshadow combinations, not buying MORE stuff. plus with my ELF stuff coming tomorrow w/ bronzer/blush.. and whatever else i got.. i should be fiinneeee. RESISTING THE URGE. RESISTING THE URGE. woohoo for will power! :) and if there happens to be some sort of monumental sale or if i win the lottery.. i will know EXACTLY what to get.. and ONLY THAT!

haven't been looking so much around clothing websites.. thankfully. who knows what i would buy. though, i must say.. i haven't been very tempted by some of the new stuff that's been coming out. and even though i spent so much at wet seal (grr, stace! but we both know we love our purchases.. le sigh), i can't say i like their stuff online. I DO WANT A PAIR OF GREY JEANS. and pure black (maybe?). i was looking for a pair of dickies at mervyn's but they didn't have my size.. for some reason.. i couldn't fit into their 7's. wtf, right? guess it was just the brand. made me feel humungoooo. but i did NOT want a camel toe.. or.. whatever my issue with the pants were. hmm.. 

i DO.. however.. want a new wallet :| i just noticed HOW MANY FREAKING CARDS I HAVE. grr! it really takes a toll on my wallet. oh, and i love it so much.. my cheapo wallet from mervyn's.. you have served me well. and i'm oh so tempted to get an expensive wallet too.. one of those ones that clasps and has two sets of card holding.. things.. slots? but.. nOoo! save, save.. find a deal. or something. hah, it was funny.. i told bryant that i wanted a new wallet and the FIRST thing he says was "hintity hint hint!".. and it took me awhile to realize what he meant. i was NOT saying it as a hint. jerkface ;P hahaha. just keeeeddin'. we're doing really well! :) 

and.. i think.. i don't really need a new wallet. it's more of a vanity thing. plus i'm super picky about my wallet.. because.. well.. i see it all the damn time. took me awhile to find a new one from my OLD OLD one.. so.. meh. i'll deal. though i think i did find a really cute coach one, one time.... i don't remember. plus it was coach.. and i was still very frugal at the time..

cards: 805 deli stamp card (2x).. optometrist business card.. dentist business card.. border's gift card ($11 left.. xmas '06 present from lejano i think??).. starbucks gift card ($2 left LOL).. chevron gas gift card.. blockbuster's movie card (last time i took it out.. i ended up needing it. so i just.. don't take it out anymore).. YL library card (same situation as blockbusters card).. APA photog membership card.. brooks ID card.. debit card.. license.. amex.. and visa. so.. that's.. 15 cards? wtf :( 

MY VAIN WISHLIST
($248.00) i adoooreeee this design.. but.. wish it was on a normal wallet (like one of the two below). i don't mind the zip up but i think i'd have LESS card slots.. and seems like it might be annoying to get stuff from that space (constricted by zipper?). i could totally be wrong though, never used anything like it. but oh so cute!

($228.00) also cute in brown. tons of card space. i dunno if i like the clasp as much though. it'd probably get unclasped in my purse.. and i would get annoyed. i wish the first one had as much card slots as this one.

($208.00) cute, no? :) lots of card space plus all the other essentials. black is also cute.. might be better 'cause.. i dunno how clean the inside of my purse stays. not too crazy about the white stitches but if i ever got one.. i could most definitely deal with them, if you catch my drift ;P 

but.. i could probably find a wallet just as cute at a regular store too. should've looked when i went to mervyns.. grr. oh well. i will eventually get a new one :)

140. new craze

so i decided although clothes are cute.. and VS's jackets are definitely cute.. i don't like wool. and i've been fairly disappointed with my recent online purchases.. so i'm moving over to make-up. weird, huh? it's just fun to put ON make up (eyeshadow, lipstick/lipgloss) and just feel pretty. even if it's not much, it just makes me feel better some days.

of course, make up, as is with everything else, is terribly expensive :( MAC eyeshadows are $14.50 each! yikes. no bueno! :( no bueno, i say! not to mention the other products they have.. they work so nicely.. but are so expensive. :(



but! i browsed anyways :) here's some colors that i like~
(aahh! MAC won't let me link files from them :( boohooo..)

LISTED
- gorgeous gold (even though i already have a gold)
- juxt (blueish.. i think?)
- signed, sealed (purpley)
- carbon (my black sucks!)
- shimmermoss (green)
- lipglass viva glam VI SE




i want to try:
- purples.. because purples are awesome! not to mention the fact that they're IN now :) but i love them regardless of the fact if they're IN or OUT.
- teal.. because.. face it. i just love the color.
- some shade of green? i'm thinking darker tones 'cause light green = no bueno in my experience. unless it's SHINY green. then maybe :)
- adding some color.. or mixing colors together. i had a successful purple+orange+gold+light gold going on the other day.. but.. maybe if they were more vibrant colors. it might be easier and show up better if you have a double lid BUT i will find a way!



found a new way to put on my eyeshadow, seems to work pretty well.

of course my end results don't end up nearly as dramatic as her look.. i stick to browns or just the darker tone or the color that i'm using (light/dark blue, gold/brown, red/brown). i know i have a picture of my eyes SOMEwhere.. i just don't remember where. and i'm sitting at home in yorba with no pictures :( and no calibrated monitor to edit the pics that i DID take.. and still craving pinkberry. boooo..



i still want to find a place to get my eyebrows done. i know regular nail salons do it but i don't know if they do a GREAT job. a GOOD job maybe but eyebrows are precious. believe me, i know. i overplucked a few times, especially when i first started in 8th grade and oh me oh my i had a chola look (no offense). it just did NOT work well for me at all. and now they're all bushy and long.. i need to get them trimmed and i feel like i COULD do it myself but.. i don't trust myself with my eyebrows. much less hair cutting anymore beyond my bangs (which is iffy at times too).



hmm.. what else is on my mind.



GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR IS AMAZING. i hurt my wrist playing it.. but.. it's definitely worth it. well. you know what i mean. not WORTH IT but "worth it". and my wrist feels fine now :) i love the new guitar too.. plus bryant hooked up his electronic drums (yes, he has electronic drums PLUS a regular drum set at home.. and my parents tell me I'M the one that's spoiled??) so that's awesome too. which frees me up to play guitar all the time 'cause he's obsessed with his drums, so no competition there :)

irrrrrrvine tomorrow! i hope i get to see all of the people that i want to see.. saw nikki hosang today and took her out to coffeebean.. then CUZZ and GDAWG and TRACE and BRYAN and RANTE and JIN and KRISTINA BUI and MICHELLE LEW and JENNY MIMURA. i feel like i'm forgetting people too :|

i've been up since 8am.. and.. i'm not even really tired. and i did NOT take a nap. wow. i really should sleep though :( try to regular my sleeping schedule.. no more sleeping at 3-4AM and waking up at 1-3PM.




i feel like i had something more important to post. hm. i g
