:)-day PICS!

HEHEH... yes, that was a creepy laugh :)




my attempt at paparazzi-ing. damn, i'm rusty!




quite possibly one of the hotter pics of the night.




apparently his beer (purple haze! haha steph) looks tasty. somehow angie looks very mischevious here..




dangit, tried to snap an incognito pic. missed. owell, here's katie's bf christian! hahhaa.




dinner date and moi.. at dinner! :P




i have noooooo idea what was going on.. but angie looks so cute! i bet katie did something ;P




the first (and ONLY) time angie managed to block me. katie also escaped. boo!




paler and pale. heheheh. so cute though :) apparently angie is very tasty.




my failed attempt at taking an incognito picture (damn red laser light!). can't focus a point and shoot camera--pure skill! hahahaa.




hmm, forget what they were looking at..





look at her face. she's plotting something.




give a doller to anyone who can guess what this is.. HAHAHA. freaking katie.





my dinner! yumm, maui chicken :)




HAHA angie's gonna kill me. this was her look towards me as she realized i wasn't going to give up on the camera war.. the ultimate death glare. *shivers*.





katie's dinner





christian's dinner





kristine n my creme brulee.. yummm :) never had them put bananas on it before but.. meh. it was good anyways.





katie/christian's dessert.. oh and angie got this too xD haha. chocolate souffle! looks damn good. they all inhaled theirs.





angie the blowfish and.. katie.. being katie. she probably said some katie-like comment riiight before this, therefore her katie laugh.





and kristine thought she was getting out of having paparazzi pics taken of her.. SUCKAAAH! ahaha :) oh yes! and that weird thing in front of her is.. my shoulder+purse strap. i assure you, kristine is quite normal and does not have some alien growth (in case you were wondering) LOL! just kidding hunnie :)




HAHAHAHA. this is katie's "avoid the paparazzi" move. this pic just cracks me up [x





highschool bff's.. hahah! yes, we managed not to take a normal picture..




me and angieeeeeeeeee.. she's so cute xD




haha! quite possibly the picture i took that washed out katie's picture (she was taking one for angie). MWAHAH~





katie and angieeee.. should've gotten pics of their dates. they are.. "gay life partners"? LOL just kiddingggg.. but they did get along quite well :)




my horribly, horribly unattractive face that goes along with my unattractive LMAO laugh. ah, angie. i added this in here to make the rest of the pictures of you fair ;) heheh! and the reason for my unattractive face/laugh? katie decided to move the camera TOWARDS US instead of zooming. ahahahah.




me and my dinner date ;) heheh. kristineee! aka AQUARACER. DAMN i look huge! but my eyes don't. lol!



aww, this meetup seems like such a long time ago. it was suuuuuuuuuper fun meeting you girls (yes, meeting you katie! you stranger! hahah) and spending time together /etc.


PS. I LOVE YOU ANGIE! hehehehee :)

PIC HEAVY! PIC HEAVY!

not necessarily in the right order.. and definitely NOT all the pics i took. just ones that i got with my little canon powershot :) i tried making the category things in the right order but i could've totally been wrong. the ones that are in weird order are the "natchitoches" ones and the "bored in houston" ones... 

BORED IN YORBA..

bored in yorba linda and the boyfriend not wanting to take pictures. what else is new? :\ certainly not my wrinkly forehead in attempt to make my eyes not disappear ;)

HEADING OUT TO DINNER (YAMABUKI)
why yes, this picture scares me too. thanks for asking.

what a bum! :(

finally he cooperates. my face looks chubs!

EOTD: BROWNS/NEUTRAL(SOFT)

a bit too shimmery on the inner lid.. changed it up to maybelline's LINEN and it worked lots better. but you get the idea (used MAC shroom for this set of pics)

and uh.. i really need to curl my eyelashes.

katie, i used eyeliner on the bottom! i was too lazy for the top part :) hahha.

MOM'S GIFT (part)
she was much happier looking when i actually gave it to her :P haha i think i caught her off guard

the ring that she loves so much :) yayy.

MITSUWA! that my mom got for me.. since SB is so mitsuwa-less.

gonna try another eye-glue and see if it works any better.

finally! though.. i tried it on.. and was very ehh about it. i guess i just don't have black heads on my face? and it was a weird sensation, peeling glue off my face.

LOVE! 

TO THE BOYFRIEND (part)
a very skinny.. skinny tie.

and his favorite chocolates of all time.. 

also got him a blue tshirt that says "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID".. and his reaction to it was so cute :) he just smiled and laughed 'cause he wasn't expecting it at all. BUT.. it was too small! booo.. so i reordered in M and sent the S back. shipped it to houston since we're gona be here for so long.. hope it comes SOON!

AIRPORT-NESS



beautiful sunset clouds :) daddy was driving so i was free to take pictures.

the oh so wonderful peanuts that.. i did not eat. at least i assume that they're peanuts. this was actually taken in front of the men's bathroom at HOUSTON HOBBY AIRPORT (no idea why i capitalized that) while i was waiting for bryant :|

the happy couple! we survived the 3 hour plane flight. he was very happy to get off that plane. oh! and that's a tshirt i got him :) haha. it says "stop destroying our planet! it's where i keep all my stuff". 

NATCHITOCHES
guess what i did? did a revision sketch for a tattoo.. that.. GINA (bryant's mom!) was going to get. crazy huh? and at the last minute she decided to get actual notes instead of the hearts, which i'm glad for. the hearts looked a little cheesy. and she took my sketch to the parlor and GOT IT DONE! w00t, my second tattoo design that has been immortalized into someone's flesh. weird to think about huh. notes for you non-sight readers are D-C (son Daniel & wife kristin Campbell), A (daughter Amanda) and B (son Bryant). cool, eh? it was mostly her idea but i revised it 'cause it was a sleepless night and.. i felt like sketching. OH. she also didn't get the notes filled in so i think it looks sort of weird.. half notes.. eh. BLAH BLAH BLAH! gotta take a pic of the actual tattoo if i remember to :)

the crazy puzzle! what we did so far (took a pic in the morning that we were leaving) and the box. so cute but so hard :(

gayle's (grandma) awesome keyboard! loooooved it.

our inflatable mattress.

the happy couple on christmas eve before we went to sleep. ALSO our 14month picture, as it so happens :)

the christmas tree.. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PRESENTS! double you tee eff?! and no, the tree did not get TP'd :P

gina sleeping peacefully :) i totally thought she was reading... taken the night before we left. oh and that cute little santa doll plays christmas music on the sax.

the adorable cat!! that caused me so much agony with my allergies.. but was so hard to resist.. 

more pre-christmas stuff.. 
i had a stocking! i was so happy :) totally unexpected.

my cutey stocking.

bryant's stocking. even though i DO like penguins.. i think my stocking was cuter :) 

all of the stockings together!

EOTD: (SOFT) PURPLES

and my face! stupid period is making me break out, bleh. tried contouring my face, looks a little weird.. but.. eh. i'm working on it. used ELF bronzer (2 shades). wore this makeup to go to the TRANSIBERIAN ORCHESTRA performance! used maybelline LINEN instead of MAC shroom.. much more natural. 

you can see it in these pics below.. still haven't taken off my makeup.. but i did change into pj's :) hmm..

BORED IN HOUSTON
natural smiles! :)

we reversed roles.. i didn't smile and he looked asian.

that painting behind us was one bryant made :) tehee. i love little kid art. 

okay.. so i posted this mostly because i thought i looked good :) i don't know what bryant's doing. then again, do i ever really know what he's doing??

the magic bracelet i had to wear to the TSO performance.. we were supposed to have our own room (got the tix from bill--dad--'s company.. and they bought a room).. but the room wasn't open and bleh. didn't really matter. played pool--i schooled bryant~ yayuhhh :) ate some bar nuts (beer nuts?).. got a shirley temple that tasted like sprite.. hmm.. and that the ushers went CRAZY for.. if you didn't show your bracelet immediately.. all hell broke loose. jeez :| i understand it being special and all but.. eh. whatever. it was cool not being in long lines or anything :) like.. VIP! or something. except less cool 'cause the room wasn't open.

me looking oh so confused/startled.

bryant being creepy.. 

we look.. fairly normal here :P

TRANSIBERIAN ORCHESTRA

okay.. so. described the bracelets already. so i'll keep the rest short 'cause i want to wash my face.. and find where bryant is. 

1. THE LIGHTING WAS FREAKING AWESOME. 

2. the guitarists's "battle" was awesome

3. the two pianists song/thing was DEFINITELY awesome.

4. the choir/singers were.. not so awesome. except for ONE guy! he was amazing. one girl had a soprano-like solo thing and she.. definitely had some flat notes. and way up high AND really loud? i left to go to the bathroom during this song and was glad for it. 

then we came back.. 6 people packed into 1 car. hm. not so fun for my butt.. or bryant's leg apparently. got home.. left to get some food.. dan + kristin came with us. went to TACO CABANA.. it was pretty good :) 

i'm thinking i should write a list of recommended places to go/reviews for the houston area.. just in case any of you decide to mosey on out here. but maybe it's more for me, haha. who knows if i'll even do it :) 

miss you girls! and guys! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM K LAM! (dec 28th).
