more aimlessness

SO.. seeing as i'm posting mainly about clothes lately.. why not keep up the trend? :D seeing as i've been LAZY as HEEEEELL with my face (besides morningly skincare routine which lasts about.. 5 minutes.. and an ALL OVER body lotion session. gotta take care of my skin!) which means NO MAKE UP which means.. nothing to post about, makeup-wise :D oh i know, that was such a far-off connection/deduction/etc. 

ho hum.

anyways.. so.. of course, AFTER i buy my forever21 stuff, as i'm browsing around online (i've subscribed to SO MANY makeup/fashion blogs it's ridiculous! thanks google reader!), i find MORE cute stuff.. but at this point, i think i can wait for one of their sales. i HOPE the item/s still stay there, but if not.. i'll post 'em up here so at least i can imagine having them... 

well, i would BUT.. of course, their website decides to stop working--okay, wtf? it just started working again. 

SO! more stuff.. from tillys.com, forever21.com, wetseal.com, cutesygirl.com.. oh and americanapparel.com ;P 

TILLYS
plaid-ish flats? cute. i dunno about the weird zipper looking thing but i'm sure i could get over it, if i were to ever buy these.. which i doubt.. mostly because i'm too in love with my red flats i just bought :) tehee. OH! i dropped them off at aldo to get them stretched--i don't even have to break them in!! (thank GOODNESS because i wore them for about 30 minutes and my feet were kiiiiiilling me! i don't know what it was!).

wide sash belts are cute :) plus the material looks soft-ish. always a plus. 

not the coolest tshirt but i think the random design looks cool. of course i don't know what the design IS so it might not be as cool as i think. plus it has pink on it xP bleh!

beeecause i like grey, black, racerbacks and stripes. dunno about the cowl neck though.. reminds me too much of my 8th grade promotion dance dress. xP bleh!

jaaacket! fur-lined. olive. cute. too bad it was about.. $50.. freaking tilly's. 

FOREVER21
also in grey/taupe, which i think might be a little better. but i have way too much black.. so white/black it is! ;P IF i were to get it. now, if it was tunic-length and if i could wear stockings underneath.. CUTE. however, i don't know how long it is (i really need to measure how long my torso is..)

tunic length! i dunno about having other people on my shirt though. hmm.. 

cute dress, yes? yes. i LOVE the color too, royal blue is AWESOMENESS. wish i had more boobies to show off.. but i don't.. but i think it would look good regardless. this alone might make me want to make another purchase but I SHALL HAVE SOME WILL POWER!

WET SEAL (yea i never understood that name either)

it just looks so cute on that model.. plus i have short hair too! couldn't it look at least half as good on me as it does on her? maybe? but i'm not a huge fan of built-in spaghetti straps. HMM.. i'm sure i'll survive, if i ever do decide to purchase it (where's my effing 15% coupon??). 

CUTESY GIRL (hmm.. weird name.. not ordinarily a site i'd go to JUST based on the name BUT.. some other blogger mentioned it and i'm bored so.. why not?)
decided i need to get some sandals.. but not just flipflop ones. and these might just do the trick! only $15.99, if i remember correctly.. PLUS a 15% discount? HMM i might just be sold! except.. for their $10 s&h. WTF? hmm.. what do you girls think? cute? 

was also looking at these BUT.. i dunno about the blingbling. i do like the thick strap but it's a little too much like regular flipflops i think.. 

AMERICAN APPAREL
simple, very versatile. i dunno though, i usually don't like the fit of most AA stuff. 

and i think i hear some neighbors outside hitting on each other.. via their dogs interacting. HMM.. this place is interesting indeed. there are so many people outside! it's so weird. it's usually never this loud. maybe some new people moved in and i just didn't notice (sort of hard, but then again we don't go outside all that often unless we have to, we're some special kind of lazy).. 

um.. let's see. since this IS a blog about ME.. i guess i should at least update a little ;P 

i've been sort of slacking on the 11pm-8am thing.. today i woke up at 10am.. and i blame it on bryant! usually he's awake so when he's not my heat source, i usually can wake up pretty much on time.. but he stayed in bed today. AND i've been sleeping a little later, mostly because.. i don't know. i guess i just spend so much time browsing the net that i just lose track of time.. or something. weird, eh? when you look up at the clock and think, "holy shit?!".. then.. it's time to.. i dunno. get a life or something ;P 

i've been trying to schedule a time to shoot w/ kelli (remember her from one of my previous posts?) and she said she'd call but she hasn't, so i texted her (in case she was in class) and.. still no response! i dunno :\ i'm also helping her out by giving her tips on monoblocs (lighting equipment). THIS ES NO BUENO! :( and we have FOUR assignments due on sunday, not only 3.. ah, well. i guess i'll just brainstorm, and if i can't get her to model.. then.. yea. i dunno. 

OH! and the dishes got done. i finally just.. got sick and tired of seeing so many dishes that i was moving dishes around in the sink (sort of loudly, not really on PURPOSE) and.. TA DAAAH! the boyfriend shows up and starts doing them for me! what a sweetheart :) :) :) i was so happy that i hugged him for about.. oh i dunno.. 5 minutes while he was washing dishes.. then decided that he couldn't stack dishes in correctly (in order to maximize space of the dish dryer thing) so i started wiping dishes. the whole process must've taken about 30 minutes (he says 45). but i was SO HAPPY! :) i even made him lunch without any sort of grumble, pretend or real ;P hahah. 

aaand.. i've been using the laptop.. basically.. all the time. partly because i never really liked where the computer is in the bedroom and partly because blake needs a mouse so i lent him mine and decided to just.. use the laptop. i took it back on sunday to edit my stuff and turn it in but lent it to him again. maybe i'll get him a mouse for an early birthday present. 

what i really should be doing with my money is to put some in a ROTH and $100 towards my website. actually. i think i'll do that now.. the website part at least. get the money sent, then start bugging them to actually set it up.. then.. i'll probably have LOTS less time 'cause i gotta sift through pictures and decide which ones i want to put up, which will probably make me dissatisfied with my work and want to take new ones which is ALWAYS GOOD! :) 

hmm.. i got lost in looking through bludomain sites (where i already put down $100.. but i might be in love with another site! oh noes! must find the original site i was looking at and compare!). 

what do you guys think?

do you like SAMUEL or EMANUEL? 

asdasd. i will make another post because this one is just too dang long!

ALDO and LONGS DRUGS

yay obama! :)



ordered stuff off of forever21.com.. and as it turns out, i've ordered something from them 5 times (this time included) since october. WEIRD. i guess they just have awesome stuff :) so i haves me cuzz's present! not what i originally planned but after conferring with some other people.. decided with this current gift. i will have it WELL before your birthday (late march), hurrah! also boughts me a pencil skirt and a nice top, sweets.

waiting for my dang 15% off discount code from wetseal so i can get gdawg's gift.. AND my boots.. and a belt. geez louise! ;P it sure is taking awhile. well, they said i'd get a code before the 25th so.. i guess i can wait another 5 days.. considering that none of my basket is "special sale".. and ALSO considering that HER birthday isn't until late march also. yeeeayuh, i'm on a roll :)

aaand.. i have bryant's gift (got it last friday but he didn't LOVE it.. he liked it but i could tell.. so i sent it back and exchanged it). i guess since he already knows what it is, i can tell you guys ;P it's actually a.. dundundun.. ROBE! so he won't steal mine. did i already announce that? i forget. and i think i know what i'm gonna do for valentine's day.. but that's still a ways away. i don't know why i keep thinking so far ahead of time :\ i guess i should be figuring out what to do for our 15months since we BOTH don't have money to go out (go figure). 

AAHH! our 15monthiversary is 1/24, his bday is 2/5, vday is 2/14.. then less than 2 weeks after that is our 16monthiversary. way too close together :(

oh! i was bored today so i bugged bryant to go out somewhere.. really i wanted to go to longs drugs but he's been wanting to get a tie and NORDSTROMS is also on state street (though it's a couple blocks away.. but.. we need the exercise) so that was my excuse :) tehees. he got a tie.. it was $100 but it ended up being around $50.. which is good! then we went into EXPRESS and i tried some stuff on but wasn't in love with it. 

headed over to ALDO'S and i bought some red flats! i REALLY liked the brown pair too.. but.. at $40/ea.. eh. if i don't like the jc penney ones i ordered, then i'll get the brown ones. or black. hmm.. either way.. cute! :) i'll go get some in feb maybe when i get my loan check, haha. man i wish my birthday was closer to now.. i'd def bug bryant to buy me another pair ;P harhar. 

i really liked this champagne sort of color.. but it looked sort of weird on my feet.. 'cause for some ODD reason, my feet are actually tanned! wtheck? or maybe my feet are just a weird color. either way.. COLOR = bueno, ON MY FEET = no bueno. so sad! would've been a nice metallic shoe too, could've checked it off my list!

black is always cute :) 

seeeee.. the brown has a really nice metallic sheen to it.. i'd definitely be stuck between getting the brown and the black if i had to choose between the two! but uh.. if i returned the jcpenney shoes, i'd definitely think about asking my parents to pay for my second pair. MAYBE. then again, my loan check will be here... or.. i could chance it and wait for them to go on sale.... hmm.. 

and here's my lovely lovely pair of red hootttt flats that i bought! it'll be nice to throw in some color into my outfits, though i definitely don't think they'll be seeing as much sun as say, the black or the brown ones. but! still! must not self-doubt myself into returning them without throwing on some potential outfits w/ them! the thing that sort of sucks about it is 'cause my feet are HALF SIZE.. and they only carry 38 (8) and 39 (9). boo! make a 38.5 dammit! 

i freakin fell in love with these shoes though, i hope they make my feet happy. they had some REALLY soft ones that i almost thought bout getting.. but the front end was way too round and made me look like i had club feet :| super lame!

then after pondering between brown and red shoes (hahaha my indecision made bryant say "ohh my god!" tehees) we were off to longs~ refilled my SOFTLIPS in cherry 'cause i just found out today that i'm near the bottom, eeks! disaster adverted! :) and bought one lipstick (RIMMEL airy fairy).. and one blush (NYC peachy) and one bronzer (NYC mocha). sweet! 

just waiting for cherryculture to refill their stocks of NYX round lipstick AHEMMM and i'm all set for makeup for the year. damn, does anyone know when they're gonna refill? i've been checking everyday for bout a week now :( i guess i'm just being impatient.

AN ENTIRE YEAR, YA HEAR? purely skin care after that, IF i get it (more like a trip to the dermatologist!!). well, maybe a good eyeliner (gel? any suggestions?) or maybe i'll keep using my wetn'wild one IF I CAN FIND A BETTER MAKEUP REMOVER THAN MANDOM. becausseeee.. mandom sucks w/ wetn'wild! there's just something in that liquid liner that.. does not want to come off my skin. i dunno. so it makes the inexperienced me have lots of trouble since i don't line perfectly at all. plus, blahblahblah~ 

class was canceled today :) so it was pretty chill. might've been the reason why i was so bored. i guess i could've cleaned but i just really.. don't want to do dishes. there's SO MANY TO DO, holy crap. we cook once (steak, mashed potatoes) and suddenly.. WHABAM! no more bowls, no more plates, no more anything! i don't know what happened. if we had a dish washer, i wouldn't have to do dishes as often 'cause one of the guys would definitely stick it into the dishwasher.. 

i'm.. just busy.. with no sense of motivation. i finished 3 assignments on one day due to lack of ideas/etc.. and it was mostly because bryant kept pushing me to. i guess i'm not the only one who kicks butt around here if i have to ;P so babe.. if you ever read this.. thank you! <3

oh! and the pinkberry up here is open! i don't know for how long but.. OMG. PINKBERRY! i wanted to gooooo.. but.. bryant wouldn't let me :\ plus he doesn't really like it either. but he DID get me a cinnamon sugar pretzel :) which was equally awesome, says my stomach. and probably better, since pinkberry is cold.... hm.. so i don't know he was thinking that but.. thanks honey! :) 

170. cold :|

yes.. from all this glorious heat (or at least it was warm enough to just wear a cardigan.. or just a shirt).. winter decided to strike today. i decided part of the reason why i didn't wake up until 2:30 today was because i didn't want to get out of my warm blankets. why? FOG. all day! well.. maybe not FOG persay.. but definitely COLD. OVERCAST. GREY. BLEH!

ANYwhosers.. 

i'm getting towards the end of my period but i randomly got moody today. was it the weather? i dunno. i wanted to go out to dinner, bryant was ehh.. at 6, we both decided we weren't hungry. checked again 6:45, he wasn't hungry. 7:30 he still wasn't hungry. then i got upset.. because.. i was getting hungry, for one. and he's ALWAYS hungry! just by being a GUY, he's constantly hungry, constantly wanting something or eating something. and today.. today he wasn't hungry? i dunno, i just got really upset. grabbed the blanket, huddled up on the couch, listening to the sounds of him playing SIM CITY, not even wondering where i was or anything (at least he didn't come check up on me). then, as you know (at least i do), when i get sad.. i thought of all the other things that made/make me sad, which didn't help at all. blah! and eventually around 8:30 he walked in and asked if i still wanted to go 'cause he was hungry. i had gotten uh.. a little teary (damn mood swings!) so i was acting weird for awhile.. but eventually got over it.. mostly when he was trying to stuff an end piece into his mouth (we went to go get sushi). i have a video of it :) hahaha. definitely made me laugh. plus i ate so i wasn't hungry-cranky.. and he was being cute, trying to figure out why i was acting so weird.

darn that boy, making me smile :)

in the photographic life of sarah? this product shot i did today. hopefully needless to say, ©sarah sakamoto, all rights reserved, dammit! well.. shot it awhile ago.. took a few new shots today and re-retouched it today. bryant's giorgio armani shoes.. 

my UD stuff :) "baked" and "chains". pretty pretty~

someone still needs to teach me how to take a FLASH pic of a swatch.. -__-

ah, yes. a lovely story.. i was rolling around in bed, tired but not able to fall asleep.. and i have NO IDEA what i did.. but all of the sudden i hear a decently loud CRACK and my finger started to hurt. what the fack? so i roll over, turn on the lamp and.. my nail had torn halfway off D: UGH! so i had to cut it SUPER short.. 

*my nails are NORMALLY at this length. 

so i decided to cut ALL of my nails that short. well. slightly longer but still very short for me :| and i do not like it at allllll.. but it'll be good for me i guess :| i have a problem with picking at scabs or just scratching in general (that's why i have so many scars) so hopefully this will help. definitely not going to do this again.. hate the feeling. never had my nails this short! not even when i was playing piano or violin. PLUS my nails are as long (or as short) as bryant's.. and.. that's just weird. he's just lazy and refuses to clip them when i tell him because.. he hates being told what to do (get a haircut, cut your nails, do the dishes, transfer money, etc). ai ya ya.. 

my horrible point-and-shoot shots of my UD MU. 

top is "chains" and bottom is "baked" + NYX "copper"

both have NYX "black" and MAC "shroom" if you're wondering.

i wish it showed up as more of a green :| maybe i didn't layer it on enough.

i'm turning into gooollllddd... or something. nah, i just think my white balance is off. extreme tungsten light doesn't help either~

also did my eye MU (typed EMU.. and laughed) in 5min (or less?) using "baked" and "gunmetal" w/ NYX "black" and MAC "shroom".. but when i got all moody, it came off :| go figure. 

been looking up a few vids on youtube to see if i can find a better way to put on MU.. think i found a way or two. we'll see though. i still like my 5min method best~ using a big brush (my FAV brush of all time.. UD's blender brush) put base color (shroom) all over.. then put on whatever shade you want (gunmetal).. then using an angled brush, put on black. use large brush to put on highlight (shroom) and inner eye corner shade (baked).. and.. done!

ah yes! remember me talking about a girl named KELLI? yupp. here she is!

her personality's basically like the first shot.. very cute, sweet, wholesome, innocent. that one is way too.. high school portrait ish though :| gonna reshoot it i think (she asked me to come in and help her with strobe lights). decent lighting. teacher really liked the second one though.. but.. i think i might reshoot it too. gonna see if i can edit it first (both pics) 'cause she had the hardest time not laughing when i was shooting this pose.. hahha. it is pretty funny, considering it's not much like her personality at all. might shoot some more while i'm teaching her about the lights. 

ugh, silverfish in the bathroom while i was taking a poo! (LOL)

ugh, portfolio! what am i gonna do?? :(

ugh, shooting at 7am tomorrow!

ugh, returning equipment before going to ventura tomorrow! (maybe we can extend)

ugh, being in ventura by 9am!

ugh, makeup finance class!

ugh, tomorrow being our 1year 1month anni.. with little/no free time! :(

i have more to write but this entry's pretty long. gonna go brainstorm for port~
